WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Mar. 3.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR.

Washington, Mar. 3.
The senate elections committee is
deep in the intricacies of the Montana
senatorial troubles. Several hours
were devoted Saturday to discussing
purely legal questions. The printed
copies of the arguments by Payne and
jerks had not been received in time
to allow of consideration by the MEM
bers. A further meeting will be
held next Saturday, in pursuance Of
the leisnrely and digniiied practice of
the senate.
DR.. Norvin Green, president Of
the Western Union telegraph compa-
ny, has been for two days before the
house postal committee, arguing in
opposition to Mr.. Wanamaker's prop
osition of a postal telegraph. He
contends that the English system has
been run at a loss, even with salaries
one half as large as those paid in this
country, and where the distances
were but trihing, and the rates for
long distances greater.
The pressure for official places cen
ters about the census office Supt.
Porter tries to shove off the appli-
cants upon the chief clerk, but only
partially succeeds. The chief clerk
merely surrendcrs to the avalanche,
and is miserable all day. The civil
service saves the other departments
to great extent but it does not re-
lieve pressure upon the census office.
There are many haggard men and pit
liable women in the crowd that daily
besiege the doors. The other day
heard one miserably dressed old man
telling another that he worked on the
census in 1860, 1870 and 1880. What
he had done between times no man,
not even himself, l suppose, could
tell. Near him stood hard-faced
woman, who, / remember, has been
discharged from three departments
and more than once from each on ac-
count of incOmpetency. With her
was her daughter beautiful girl of
eighteen. Any one acquainted about
the departments could recognize a
score of familiar faces in the crowd
of applicants.
The shooting of eX-Representativc
Taulbee by Mr.. Kincaid, of the Louis
vile Times, is the final outcome of
one of the most dis9raceful scandals
ever known in this city of scandals.
About two years ago the Times pub.
lished an account of Taulbee' indie
cent conduct with woman in a pub
! lie place, and its truth has never
been denied. The most amazing
feature of the case is that the woman
is still retained in the interior depart
ment. Ever since the publication
Taulbee, a powerful, raw boned man,
over SIX feet high, has bounded Kin
caid, a small, sickly man, weighing
about one hundred pounds. He pur.
sued the game too long, and now lies
in the hospital with a ball in hi:
throat. The shooting occurred IN {
corrder on the House side of the
Capitol.

learned, then and there, to respect,
to honor, and more than this, to love
Carroll S. Page. He was a friend in
the formative period of life. He in
terested himself in boy, who need
ed some one to show interest in him,
and by his clear head, his clean life,
his unimpeachable integrity, and his
fair treatment, he won the esteem and
affection of one who hasn't learned to
90 back on a friend
This glimpse of Mr.. Pages life
and character will commend him to
the people of Vermont, who already
entertain high estimates of his ability
and capacity to serve them.

A Monster Petition.

The immense petition of citizens of
New York and Brooklyn for lhe pass
age of ballot reform law, was pre-
sented to the New York legislature
on Monday evening. This petition
contains IA signatures from the
city of New York and more than
10000 from Brooklyn. 1t is not only
the largest petition in point of sigma
lures ever presented to legislative
body from a single locality, but it is
contained in by far the largest book
that was ever made. The book is 26
inches wide, 80 inches long, eight
feet thick and weighs half a ton.
Each section is composed of a wood
en- back, 2A inches thick, with iron
sides, in which are riveted 90 single
sheets, each sheet hinging on itself.
The backs are hinged together, so
that the whole book opens at any
part as we'll as any ordinary ledger.
1t was borne into the assembly cham
Der on the shoulders of eight men,
and was preceded on its way up the
main aisle by the speaker and SER
geant-at-arms, while Mr.. Sheehan,
a democratic leader and the mouth
piece of Gov. Hill, objected to its re-
ception and tried to block its passage
up to the Speakers desk, shouting
and protesting as he was forced along
before it, When the big book left

ed, it was drawn through some of the
principal streets of the city on truck
with four horses, ,preceded by band

There seems to be good ground for
charging the House Committee on
Public Buildings, if not the House
itself, with extravaganza in the mat
ter of appropriations for public build
ings. No other conclusion can be
reached by readers of our leading
Washington dispatch to-day. The
House passed bills appropriating
81 ,845 900 for this purpose, in adj
dition to 81, ,525, 900 called for by
bills passed last week. But this is
only the beginning. No fewer than
seventy-nine bills in all have been
favorablv considered by the Public
Buildings Committee, and the esti-
mated total amount which they will
take out of the Treasury, if they be-
come laws, is in the neighborhood of

Summer School for Teachers.

Supervisor Stone, with the sanction
and assistance of Supt. Palmer, is
making preparations to hold sum-
mer institute somewhere in this county
during the summer months for the
purpose of giving instruction to the
teachers of the county. Some Of the
best instructors will be engaged and
a course of instruction and lectures
will be given that will be of great
practical benefit to all who attend. 1t
is proposed to make the tuition at
only 81 a week, for a term of three
weeks. 1t will be held at some suit
able and desirable place, where the
board expense will be small and the
accommodations and surroundings all
that can be desired.
The supervisor is putting his ener-
gies into the work, and that is an as
surance that it will be a success. The
school will give the opportunity need
ed by q large class of teachers who
desire a more thorough knowledge of
the work.

Cut and Dried.

1t seems probable that some of
those good fellows, whom the state
sent to the Legislature in 1888, cooked
up a political scheme for 1890 by
which certain of their numbers were
to be promoted to higher offices, and
others were to have been given fat
places here and there as the attempt
succeeded.
Political ambition is, probably,
difficult thing to satiate; but some
how in this little state the people
strongly object to cut and dried
schemes and rings which are made to
deprive them of having free voice
in political matters. They do not
like to be compelled to support some
body somewhere, whose ambition is
immensely greater than his abilities.
and who by wire-pulling and impor-
tunitv gets himself into the field
for office. 1t was whispered about
during the fall of 1888 that Lieut..
Gov. Woodbury. had his eye on the
big chair in the executive chamber,
and that one or two other ambitious
Solons wanted to preside over the
state senate, with view to
further political honors.
As time has gone on means have
been taken to further the arrange
ment of 1888.
Lieut.-Gov Woodbury. and his
friends have been very active in his
politics, while a gentle feeler now and
then has been thrown out in behalf of
Senator Perkins of Windsor, in order
to see how his name would chord with
Woodbury. on the state ticket OF 1870.
There are some other, as yet, unde-
veloped plans that entered into the
scheming heads of those who found
the Montpelier atmosphere so delight
ful in 1888.
Now we do not wish to say word
against Gov. Woodbury., Senator
Perkins or others who were set for the
ticket of 1890; but we do object to
the idea that aspiring politicians in
the legislature shall attempt to plot
and combine to make places for them
selves two years hence. There are
places, though politicians never seem to
realize it, that are as difficult, as hon
orable and as high as they deserve, or
can fill. A place in the House, Sen
ate, or presidents chair in the senate,
is a position often as exalted as the
ability of the occupant. Worthy as
men may be for services well done,
there are positions that fully pay any
debt or obligation the public owes
if it owes anything-to the individual.
We think the honors bestowed al
ready on Col. Woodbury. are ade-
quate to reward him and to duly honor
him for any service he has rendered
the state or the country. A brave
soldier, a good fellow, a thrifty citi-
zen, native Vermonter. But there
are hundreds of others in Vermont
just as worthy, just as able, just as
brave soldiers, whose modesty does
not allow them to crowd themselves
forward toward the governors chair.
Nobody wishes to deprive Lieut.. Gov.
Woodbury. of any fame, credit or
honor; there sre some, however, that
feel that he has been we'll served, ,and
that it would be becoming in him to
retire when he can retire with the re-
spect of the whole state. If he press
es the cut and dried arrangement of
1888 to a sharp contest there will be
some pretty lively kicking in many
quarters.

The question having been raised
whether Lieut.. Gov. Woodbury. prof
its by the sale of liquor in his hotels at
Burlington, the Free Press says en-
phatically that he does not, and
quotes the statements of L. S. Drew,
manager, and II. n. Clark, who say
that since Col. Woodbury. has owned
the Van Ness or LEASED! the American
no liquor has been sold or furnished
on the premises. This has been the
rule of the houses by his express
orders, they say, and they add that
he is by practice as we'll as profession
temperance man. The latter en-
dorsement was unnecessary, to any
one who knows Col. Woodbury.. We
are very glad the doubt as to the
hotels has been thus early settled be-
cause it relives the campaign of what
otherwise might have proved a very
unpleasant feature. Both candidates
are men of the highest character, with
no blot upon their lives, and now that
the liquor question is disposed of the
campaign ought to be conducted on a
high plane, free from petty person
/ alities.
