Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1890-02-27

Ninety days and not single bill
passed is the record of the first Montana
state legislature whose session has just
expired by limitation. Montana is not
beginning we'll.
Mrs. Hette Green of Brooklyn, who is
worth about $50000,000, has, it is said, en-
bowed over one hundred churches and estab-
lished fifty schools. She says that benevolent
objects absorb large portion of her income,
and that her son will continue the good work
after she is gone.-New York Press.
Who told the Press that apocryphal
yarn?
Here it is from the New York Trib-
une:
The people of Vermont are discussing the
question who will be the next governor of
the state. But the question needn't give
them any trouble. Let them put the names
of all the voters in box and draw out one.
No matter who he is, he will be a good man.
Might choose Democrat that way. Oh no!
1t isn't at all likely that the name of Hiram
Atkins would be drawn out the first time.
Canada is disturbed over the proposed
settlement of the Behring Sea difficulty
and Minister Upper has been sent to
Washington. The Canadians think Eng
land is disregarding Canada's interests.
A little more experience will probably
convince our Canadian friends that Eng
land don't care a copper about their in
terests.
Joe Howard tells Chicago to crow over
the fair she is to have, that her hotels
and railroads will be benefited but her
people as a whole will not. He might
have added real estate spectators to
the interested class and then there
would have been much truth in what
he SAYS.
The New York papers take their city IS
defeat philosophically and Frankly &C
knowledge that New York was beaten
in a fair, stand-up fight. Some poll
ticians, schemers themselves, lay it to
political scheming in others, but most
people recognize the fact that Chicago
won through keeping politics out of the
question, through better generalship and
closer union of forces.
Modern improvements are to be har-
messed in the team of religion by Bishop
Walker of North Dakota, who has
ordered chapel on wheels to be built
by the Pullman Car Company and pro-
poses to carry his missionary into the
state wherever railroads will take him.
A church behind locomotive running
40 miles an hour is calculated to make
the powers of evil hustle to get off the
track.
New Yorkers are trying to lay their
defeat in the worlds fair contest to the
New England men, several of whom
voted for Chicago. On the decisive bal
lot Names four representatives divided,

York Massachusetts gave 6 to Chicago
and to New York; Connecticut, 4 to
New York; Rhode Island, to Chicago
New Hampshire, 2 to New York; and
Vermont, to each.
A stringent law to suppress lotteries
has been introduced in the national SEN
ate. 1t ought to pass. The Louisiana
lottery and other similar gambling
machines have fed on the money of fool
ish people long enough. The Louisiana
lottery's charter expires soon and at
tempts, futile thus far, have been made
to bride the legislatures of North Dakota
or Louisiana into renewal of this license
of iniquity. In Louisiana an offer has
been made to pay the state debt in
consideration of the desired renewal.
Of course the Times feels properly
crushed after reading this from the Rut-
land Herald
The Bellows Falls Times is trying to bark
pretty loud and show its teeth at the advo-
Gates of high license and local option, for q
little sheet published in town that has one
rum-selIer to each 800 of its inhabitants.
1t does seem, though, that if the Her
aid was to say anything it might have
found some better answer to the intima-
ton of the Times that the Herald was
deceiving its readers and adopting tricky
methods in advocating its pet hobby.
Sneers are never arguments and they in
jure only the sneerer.
The inquisitive child is last reported
as asking if there will be newspapers in
heaven, to which the father replied,
"Possibly, but they will have new set
of editors and reporters" From an ex-
tended and intimate knowledge of the
