PAGE AND CIRCUIT HIS TICKET.

Dear CaledOnian:
| presume that many of your read
ers are tired of so much newspaper
talk about politics, consequently l
will be brief
l hear and read much about the
Central Vermont railroad, the Bur
lington Custom House ring" the
Grand Army of the Republic, and
that cratic but popular Geo. w.
Hooker, and their infuencein politics,
but hear very little about the infiu-
ence of the common people. Can it
be that this is case of 1.-The tail wag
ging the dog?" Can it be that the
voice of the republican voters in the
state of Vermont is to be silenced by
this consolidated influence of political
power? trow notl The voice of
the people is not to be bought by the
passes of the Central Vermont rail-
road nor by the money of Geo. w.
Hooker.
The Boys in Blue" may seem to
have been drawn into this combina-
ton, but their own good sense must
see through the officious zeal of these
vote hunters and the mean motives
behind it. 1t is fact that should
be cited to the credit of the great
body of Union veterans, that they
have a ready and generous hand for
comrades in distress, but are not to
be cheated by the Platonic affection
of ambitious politicians.
1t may be that Gen. Grout did a
"Child" -ish thing al Brattleboro and
that he should be "HOOker" from
his seat in Congress on account of
it. 1t may be that the personal and
private interests of Col. Hooker de
mand his retirement, the interests of
the Vermont farmer and the state at
large to the contrary nOtw1thstand-
ing.
1t may be that Hon. c. S. Page is
lacking in courage and for that reas-
on should not be made governor of
this turbulent and war-like state.
They say he was "a coward" (?) and
"a skedaddler" (?) at eighteen and
that he had no desire for martial
glory nor to fill an infants" grave
upon some lonely battlefield. But
the youthful coward" has develop
ed a wonderful backbone" since
that time The demand of the day is
not for military heroes but for a man
who has the courage to stand up for
the right, and purpose to act tor
the best against the domination OF
any corrupt power-even to his own
disadvantage. 1t seems to me that
such a man would make a pretty
good governor for Vermont to own.
| don't mean to say there is cor
ruption in our midst but there seems
to be a desire on the part of one or
two persons and corporations to run
and control the politics of the state.
Such a domination is corrupt insO-
much as it seeks to benefit the few to
the injury of the mass of the people.
Mr. Page has put himself on record
as an enemy to that sort of boss
ism" when he says that he will not,
even for the sake of being governor,
tie his hands in any way, or pledge
subserviency to any interest" But |
said | would be brief.
Although affairs politically seem
somewhat mixed, yet l hope that
General Grout will be returned to
Washington to continue his good
work for the Vermont farmer and
that the man who was not afraid to
say mol" will be made governor OF
| this commonwealth.

LOWER WATERFORD.
Il Ferry at Waterford.

The loss of the two bridges across
the Connecticut at Waterford and
Lower Waterford is severely felt by
the people of the adjoining towns.
One or both of these bridges will I'M
doubtedly be rebuilt. In the mean
time a ferry is being agitated and
with this in view, delegation of
business men from Littleton met
some Waterford citizens on the east
bank of the river the 18th to perfect
the plans. 1t will be a joint affair,
put in by the people of Littleton and
Waterford at some point near the
old bridge as soon as the logs now
running have passed. The rates of
toll will be about the same as before
the bridge went out. The owners of
the bridges and the representa- ves
Of the Connecticut River Lumber Co.
have had a meeting to see if a salts
factory settlement could be made,
but with what results is not known.
A new flag has been presented to
the West Waterford school and it
will be dedicated Memorial day.

GEN. CIRCUIT IMPROVING.

The Washington Star of May II
says that Congressman Grout is
much better and is sitting up five or
SIX hours each day, that he is begin
ming to dictate some of his CORES
pondence, read the tariff debate and
take hold of the work of the commit
tee on the District of Columbia of
which he is chairman. Commenting
on his work in Congress the Star
says
Since Mr. Grout has been chairman
of the District committee he has made
an exceedingly favorable impression
on the citizens who have come in con-
tact with him, impressing them as a
broad-minded, hard-workingm member
who has the best interests of the Dis
trict sincerely at heart. He is very
popular in Vermont, and his re-elec-
ton to the Fifty-second Congress is
thought to be an assured fact. His
many friends will be glad to learn
that he will soon be out and serving
with a will his Vermont and District
constituents

on a platform of high license and
ballot reform.

going some repairs last week Wednes-
day afternoon and through some
oversight the throttle valve was left
open. The repairs being completed
the engine was fired up and, CHANGING
to stand at dead centre, seemed all
safe. Mr. Huse attempted to put
the belt on the wheel, standing be-
tween it and the boiler. The moment
the wheel was turned full head of
steam struck the piston and the en-
CINE was running at full speed Huse
was standing against the edge of the
wheel which, revolving, cut his right
leg to the bone and severed large
artery. His assistant was thrown
several feet and stunned by his fall.
But he soon recovered sufficiently to
grasp the situation and Immediately
shut off the steam, when Huse was
taken out of the wheel. He was very
weak from loss of blood and died 80
minutes later. His relatives from
Cambridge and Lowell, Mass, were
present to attend his funeral services.

The Eight Hour Day in Lond on.

LONDON, April IS. "A manifesto
signed by the heads of ninety-four
trades unions has been circulated In
London during the last few days calling
upon the hundreds of thousands OF
working men to meet in Hyde park May
4 for the purpose of agitating the
question of an eight hour day. The
most powerful OF the trades unions
have refused TO sign the manifesto and
are actively opposing the movement.
Nevertheless the call will doubtless re-
suit IN the assembling of one of the
largest labor meetings that London has
seen in many years, though the opposl..
ton OF the leading organizations will
deprive il of the union necessary TO It's
character as representauve gathering.
