Gov. Proctor's Future.

ministration of the war department,
saws that the talk of his candidacy
for the presidency in the future is
foolish-for one reason, because Yer
mont is not likely to be called on for a
presidential candidate then sug-
gests that sit is more than probable
Vermont will some time demand that
Gov. Proctor represent her in Wash
ingtOn under a six years lease, sub
iect to renewal" This is a sugges-
ton that will bear consideration when
one of our senatorships shall become
vacant,. by which the Times means
when Senator Edmunds or Senator
Morrill, is no longer available for re-
election. Gov. ProctOr's able and
business like administration of the
war department is the admiration of
the country. This strong, forceful
man of brains and integrity would fill
a senatorship from a state whose
senators have always hOnored her.

At recent meeting of the man
ayers of the Distillers and Cattle
Feeders Trust it was decided, ac-
cording to statements afterward
made in Cincinnati, to submit to the
holders of certificates a proposition
for the conversion of the Trust into
a corporation. This is the Organiza-
ton commonly called the Whisky
Trust. Recent misfortunes of other
Trusts, and the suit brought by the
Attorney General of Nebraska
against one of the Trust corporations
in that state are said to have sug-
gested the proposed change. The
largest of the Trusts distilleries now
in operation are in Peoria, where the
organization has established its head
quarters. Have the managers of the
trust taken into consideration the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of Hi
nois in the case of the Chicago Gas
Trust? The court held that it was
unlawful to make combination de-
signed to suppress competition in an
industry, and that corporate char
ter granted by Illinois could be used
for an unlawful purpose. The Whis-
key Trust will not, we presume, ap-
ply for a charter in that state. But
if it shall undertake to use there for
its purposes charter procured in
some other state it may provoke pop
ular opposite that will be manifest

Trust may not escape prosecution in

At last the supreme court of Mon
tana has rendered decision in the
Thompson mandamus case, which
virtually declares that the republican
assembly of the state is the legal
one.
Thompson is one of the republican
assemblymen from Silver Bow coun-
ty who were declared elected by the
throwing out of the fraudulent vote
of the Homestake Tunnel Precinct.
In order to make a test case he
brought suit for his mileage and per
diem expenses. His counsel asked
for peremptory writ of mandamus
ordering the state auditor to pay
him. To decide whether he is enti-
tied to the money, the court was
obliged to pass judgment on the
legality of his election. 1t finds
what the republicans have claimed
all along, that the only prima facie
evidence of membership in the legis-
lature is the certificate of the State
Canvassing Board. This Thompson
and his republican colleagues from
Silver Bow county hold, and, cOnse-
quently, the writ is granted.
This decision practically settles the
case. The republican legislature is
the only legal Legislature of Montana
and Col. Sanders and NJ. Power are
entitled to seats in the United States
Senate.

WASHIN GTON LETTER.

WdShinQtOn, Jan. 27.
When one learns that Mr.. Peters
of Kansas. receives on an average
one hundred letters ever day, there is
seen at least one reason why he writes
to his constituents that private inter-
ests must take him back to private
life. Think of what it is to write
one hundred letters q day when you
know what to say, and then add to
that the labor Of referring in many
cases to the various departments for
information upon which to base a re-
ply. OF course in some offices, as in
the Pension office, reply comes to
the Congressman in the shape of
letter to his constituent and all it
generally needs is to be endorsed and
transmitted, but even this represents
double labor.
OF Representative from the CEN
trail States Mr.. McKinley's mail is
the largest, though this has only been
during the present Congress. Owing
likewise to his position, Mr.. Reeds
mail exceeds that of any Eastern
member. Mr.. Carlisle, of course,
receives the largest mail of any
Southern member. The Western
members are, however, the most
richly favored or cursed with cores
pondents.
Apart from letters received from
pension and other claimants which
always have a legitimate purpose,
there are a wonderful number of idle
and purposeless received by Congress
men, and generally answered. In
every community you will find some
man who is always offering the Con-
gressmen advice by mail. In private
life he may be the soul of mild good
nature, but he harbors about him a
wild desire to write and in the secret
watches of the night he indites reams
of wisdom to his member. Perhaps

men probably know it and gets a pa
tient answer.
Senator ingalls, gets more letters
than any man in the Senate, his mail
often reaching three hundred letters
in single day. No other Senator
gets nearly so many. Senator Plumb,
his colleague, receives a very large
mail and so one must conclude, con-
sidering also Representative Peters
immense correspondence, that Kan
sas is a great State for letter writer's.
To certain extent, Senator In
gals succeeded John A. Logan as
the man to whom old soldiers must
frequently write about pension claims.
Senator Logan's mail was simply
enormous as regards pension matters.
It grew so burdensome during the
last few years of his life that the
majority of the letters of reply from
the Pension Bureau were never trans
nit ed to him at all but were mailed
blythe bureau directly to the claim
as.
Che only men in Congress who es-
cape a great mass of correspondence
are new members from remote Eas-
tern and Southern districts and ex-
tremely unpopular old members serv-
ing their confessedly last term. The
amount of labor attached to many
years of such work is appalling. The
secret of successfully doing it lies in
never neglecting it. Up to his last
illness, "Sunset" Cox never retired
at night until the days correspondence
was disposed of. The letters that he
could answer intelligently were an
swered at once, be the reply ever so
brief. To this unvarying prompt
ness and to the courteous character
of his communications, he owed in no
small measure his very long and sue
cessful career.
Now that everyone is trying his
hand at civil service reform, Gen.
Rosecrans has turned up with a bill,
which he has submitted to several
members of the House committee and,
he claims, has been received with
favor. 1t provides that the clerical
force of the government shall be clas-
slfied according to Congressional dis
tricts, each district to have its proper
quota, and when any vacancy exists
the particular Congressman entitled
to the appointment shall be notified.
He shall then nominate not less than
four candidates for the place, who
shall present themselves for eXami-
nation before the Civil Service Com
mission and the one passing the sue
cessful examination shall be selected.
The period of Office holding shall be
six years. But the Congressman
nIa1 rerominate the man and he may,
after submitting again to a competi-
tive examination, be re-appointed.
The government clerk would by this
simple and pleasing system be obliged
to hustle around and keep in the
good graces of his Congressman or
take the consequences at tie end of
his six wears

1t has recently been estimated that
the wealth of the people of the Unit
ed States at the present time is not
far from $50, 100000 900, against
s43, 900, 100000 in 1880. That is
an average of nearly 1910 per head
as compared with $3.50 at the time of
the decennial census. The New York
Bulletin thinks this estimate errs on
the side of safety. The insurance
record indicated a greater increase.
The addition of new buildings, with
the new farms and improved lands,
and the new railroads, mines and

Observations on La Grippe.

La grippe is a specific disease,
probably of a miasmatic origin.
Opinion is divided whether it spreads
by contagion, or is propagated by at
mOspheric influence. 1t seems easier,
however, to find an explanation of its
rapid transit and almost universal
prevalence in the latter. 1t is q well
known fact that measles, scarlet fever
and other diseases whose contagious
nature is well determined, spread very
slowly as compared with la grippe.
1t is generally characterized by
slight soreness of the throat, as an
initial symptom, together with suffu-
sion of the eyes and nose. This is
followed in 24 hours by a marked
fever, wich is accompanied by giddi-
ness or even faintness, severe head
ache and bodily pains. In "a hours
more, except in case of complica-
tions, there is considerable fall in
temperature, succeeded for a week or
so by languor and weakness.
In itself a simple disease concern
ing which jest is not out of place,
it is quite another matter when we
consider the complications that may
arise from it, for like all diseases
accompanied by sudden and high
temperature, the internal organs are
liable to congestions and diseased
actions. 1t is quite common for
children, for their brains are not ma
tured and are hence more impression
able than in the adult, to lie stupid
during the activity of the fever, this
should not be source of great anxi-
ETY., unless the condition is prolonged !;
for the short duration of the febrile
stage speedily puts an end to this
torpid state, which is especially pro-
vided for by the return of venous
blood from the brain.
With the stomach and lungs the
conditions are different. With these
organs congestions occur more speed
lily, and the victim of la grippe, who
exposes himself to current of cold
air, by initiating the already cOngested
air passages becomes thereby liable
to pneumonia. or the bilious and dys-
peptic individual by some indiscre-
ton in diet, perhaps exciting the
already initiable and congested MEM
brane of the stomach, is soon the un-
fortunate possessor of acute gastritis.
The chief indications for treatment
in the primary affections are to subdue
the fever and maintain circulation
upon the surface of the body. Get
the patient well to sweating and use
derivatives freely, such as mustard
drafts upon the feet, over the lungs
and stomach, and at the nape of the
neck. OF course a physician can
best control the temperature but much
can be done by hot lemonade, the
hot air bath, &c. For the fever usu-
nally declines when over ptrspiralion

Fire at West Concord.

The dressing mill and chair fac
tory of Grout, Wyman & Co., West
Concord, was burned to the ground
just after midnight Friday. Nothing
was saved from the mill and all the
machinery is useless. In fact about
all that can be recognized in the
ruins is the old P & O. engine ''St.
Jobnsburv,' which furnished the
motive power al the mill. The fire
probably caught from a hot box in
the shafting and the mill was quickly
destroyed. The paint shop of c. p.
Hicks, situated near the dressing
mill, was also burned, but the sleighs
and wagons were saved. The loss
to Grout, Wyman 4 Co. is about
$4,000 and to Mr. Hicks $1,000.
The former carried $4,000 in 2. d.
Blodgett q Co.'S insurance agency,
and the latter had 5000 insurance on
his paint shop. The loss falls heav
lily upon each and all and it is hard
blow for the village. About two
years ago the mill was greatly en-
larged and machinery was put in for
bobbins by S. f. Grout q Co. Lat
er the firm was changed to Grout,
Wyman & Co. and the machinery
was added for dressing lumber and
making chairs. Recently an electric
light plant had been put in. The
firm has been doing a good business
and have worked nights some of the
time to keep up with orders.-Cale-
