From the Montpelier Watchman.

The News and Citizen of Hyde Park
raised the quilts on the back of Bur-
ington's ''fretful porcupine' last
week. We were sincerely grieved to
see our esteemed contemporary losing
its temper so early in the campaign
If this thing goes on, the Waterbury
asylum will be in requisition before
June, and the Free Press will need a
whole ward to itself 1t may not,
however, be impertinent to ask if the
Queen City organ has a monopoly of
newspaper enterprise or a patent
right on newspaper distribution? 1t
is observed that, on one scantily dis
guised pretense or another, large
numbers ofcopies of 'the ablest edi-
ted have found-and are finding
their way to all parts of the State,
particularly to sections where polit-
ical PROSECUTING is deemed to be nee
essary- Vow, if the News AND CITI-
ZEN is infringing on any rights of the
Free Press the courts are open. 1t
has no occasion to be angry. The
difficulty with the NEWS AND CITIZEN
appears to be its righteousness. If
it had been less open in it's ''mOdus
ViVendi," if it had initiated it's Bur-
lington contemporary and sent the
copies it is charged with distributing
''in blank cases." oreven in packages
marked green calf-skins," it might
have escaped the eye and censorship
of the great apostle ofpolitical NOR
atty. But the Free Press must not
be judged too harshly. There are
extenuating circumstances. The spec
tacle alone of three-fourths of all the
Republican papers of the State direct
ly or indirectly declaring against it's
candidate before it could formally
exhibit him on the turf was eXasper-
ating. Under the circumstances, very
likely 81 more phleglnatic tempera-
fment would have shown signs of irri-
tation.

The views of a party are clearly
expressed through its newspapers
On leading questions of public inter
est they are almost if not entirely
unanimous. 1t seldom happens that
the Republican press of Vermont
prior to a State convention has sc
clearly voiced the Opinion of a large
majority of the party as it has re-
Gently in regard to the nomination
for Governor. There is hardly any
difference worth noting IL the resolve
to adhere to thenon-promotion pee
edent, fixed by the convention OF
1856. No valid reason is known to
exist for the abrogation of that poll
cy or IN other words, the promotion
of a Lieutenant-Goyefnor to the
Governors chair is contrary to the
expressed will of Vermont Republi-
cans.
With remarkable unanimity the
Republican journals of the State-so
far as their views have been given
endorse the nomination of Hon. Car
roll S. Page as Republican candidate
for Governor at the next election.
From the four quarters of the State
come these public testimonials in
favor of Mr.. Page.

A new and very curious turn oe-
CURED last week in the legislative
middle in Montana. The Supreme
Court having decided virtually that
the Republican members of the House
from Silver Bow county are entitled
to be paid their salaries by the State
Auditor, and the Democrats of the
Senate seeing that the organization
of both houses were therefore clearly
Republican, took to their heels and
resolved to get out of the State so as
to prevent a quorum in the Senate.
The Republican members, however,
were little too quick for them, and
warrants were taken out for their ar
rest. A telegram caught one of the
fleeing senators just inside the state
line, and he was arrested. If the
Democrats had any case before, they
have certainly given it away entirely
by this foolish action, which is more
worthy of school-boys or lunatics
than of honest grown-up men, The
Independent.

From GAe Bellows Falls Times.

The Burlington Free Press very
ably presented the case for Lieut..
Gov. Woodbury. as a candidate fol-
the Observation-Disclosures. There
is more pertinence, however, in the
query of the Richford Gazette as to
Mr. Woodbury's position on the
question Of prohibition. The Gazette
asks if either of Mr.. Woodbury's ho-
tells sells liquor? This is a question
the Republicans of the State have a
right to have answered.
Here is the situation. The settled
policy of the republican party in
Vermont is prohibitory policy as
regards the sale of Intoxicating
liquors. Can the party choose as a
standard bearer a man who is OPP
posed to that policy, particularly if
he is a violater of the law that policy
defends? Col Woodbury. is q hotel
keeper on a large scale. is liquor
sold at his hotels in violation of the
law of Vermont? If so the Republi-
can party cannot consistently put
him forward as its candidate for the
highest office in the State. The Free
Press must answer this question in
the negative or retire from the sup
port of Mr.. Woodbury's candidacy,
for the Free Press is a supporter of
law and of prohibition, aud we be-
lieve it to be sincere.
Are the Van Ness and American
Houses of Burlington strictly tenn
perance houses? Do they live fully up
to the State law? Lieut.-Gov. Wood
bury's friends must answer these
questions without evasion.

Letter from Cambridge.

EDITORS NEWS AND CITIZEN:
In one OF your late issues a letter. under the
heading ''NOtes and Incidents by Trouble -
recalls bygone days and produces that laugh
that is said to be such an antidote for dys,
pepsia, being quite we'll acquainted with all
the characters he mentions except Richard b
Carpenter. When q boy, living with my par
ents in Fairfield, Father Gleed las we used to
call him) often preached there and quite often
staid at my fathers over night, and my boy
ish ears were wide open to catch his odd
speeches and on proper occasions still con-
tinue to quote froni--fm.
Belcher Carpenter, though not eloquent, vet
at heart | believed him to be a well-intended
man. He seemed to be impressed with the
idea that it was his duty to expound and di-
late that he thought to be the truths of the
Bible. l once worked a week with others on a
frame at the same time Mr.. Carpenter was
laying the stone to put the frame on, and his
odd expressions were enough to eXtort q
laugh from a gate-post. And before the week
had expired | found that wherever possible
we were adopting Mr. Carpenters vocabu-
larry. Your correspondent says in his ecclesl-
astical trial his gun was restored. think he
should have added also his pulpit. l have
heard the story from pretty near headquar-
tiers long ago.
Uncle Jo Baker was most genial, fun
loving man when he was walked up, and when
getting work done at his shop we used to try
to draw from him some of his best stories |
will here say that | believe in laughing when
we can laugh, for there are times enough
when we can but weep The laugh that
shakes from center to circumferenceis a great
promoter of digestion.
But whenyodrc respondent reaches Judge
Powers, mirth is gone and the subject be-
comes serious. He says Judge Powers is
wanted on the bench, which may be true, but
there Is another place in which it is equally
important that we should be represented by
our very ablest men. | think it has long been
the practice of Vermont to go to the Supreme
bench for its United States senators. | be-
lieve the Supreme bench to be one of the best
6tting-schools to prepare man for the Sen
ate. In the common course of events there
must ere long be a vacancy in the Senate,
and when that shall occur, my mind has long
been that Judge Powers should take the
place, even though he might have to leave
the House of Representatives and his seat be
filled by another man. Vermont is a small
state, but has the same representation in the
Senate that New York has with her thirty
four Representatives in the House.
And when we, the people, think it best to
take one of our judges off the bench to serve
US in another place we have able lawyers
enough to choose from to take his place;
while from time to time there should be new
and younger men put on the bench. H.

neighbor in Florida, a native Virgin
ian, too young to have been a sol

ty. We give the following extract
from the letter:
g Everything is quiet here. The only politi-
cal capital that can be made in Florida to-
day is the killing of marshal in a drunken
row near Tallahassee. Bad whiskey wsl stir
mp bad blood
Let the Congressional investiga-
tion tell the truth as to this. Was
the marshal drunken rowdy? Is it
true thatnone but desperate men dare
accept the Office of United States
Marshal ia certain districts of the
South?

If the Burlington Free Press pro-
poses to conduct a clean campaign in
the gubernatorial fight, it needs to
lookout that it is not thespittoOn to
catch the vomit of sorehead anony-
nous correspondents. Then man who
is ashamed of his name makes a bid
for public disdain, and in fighting
from an ambuscade shows himself
either a savage or a coward, and
quite probably both. The 'Lamoille
Voter" who INDUCED in an under
handed attack on c. S. Page that is
as full of lies as it is of venom, need
not hope to escape recognition under
monde plume. His ear marks are
too plain, and the claim that ''he is
not sore head" betrays at once
that he is just that, and the tribune
will wager its old boots that the
same maligner of the business meth
DDS of Mr.. Page is parasite feeding
upon him now. If 'Lamoille Voter
has anything to say, let him stand
out like a man and say it.

From tie y. Y. Mail and Express

Vermont is not yery large State,
and there are not enough Democrats
to make an interesting fight; but
there is good deal of politics there,
neyertheless-an assertion which is
proved by the fact that the campaign
for Governor is already opened. The
Burlington Free Press is out for
Lieut.. -Gov. U. A. Woodbury.; but in
this advocacyit stands almost alone.
The great majority of the Republic
can press of the State is enthusiastic
cally in favor of the Hon. Carroll S.
Page of Hyde Park, leading manu-
facturer and business man, chairman
of the State Committee, and the man
ager in his State of the great Repub-
icaD campaign of 1888. Mr. Page is
a successful business man and a fine
executive. He has served in the Leg
islature, and filled the Office of State
Commissioner of Finance. His abiliz
ty as a political manager is generally
conceded, and it is felt that if he cares
for the Office he ought to have it.
Certainly his qualifications for the
place are all that could be asked and
we congratulate the Republicans Of
Vermont beforehand on their good
fortune in finding so excellent can
didate.

The Reporter has not waited tic
find out the expression of the State
at large through other papers, MOI
did it add one iota to the clap OF
thunder, previously alluded to. 1t
had been one of the first, if not the
first, publication in the State to con-
scientiously and boldly declare itself
in favor of the Hon. c. S. Page, as
the man most BETTING among the,
then, numerous candidates for nOmi-
nation that had personally and
through constituents presented their
names for the high and important
office of Governor With the simmer
ing down of the Host that had arisen,
to what is considered the two fore
most and strongest of them, we have
as yet seen no argument presented,
to change our already declared opin-
ion, which we believe to be also the
voice of the majority of our readers,
and upon principle we believe in vote
ing the prevailing sentiment of such,
upon topics of such great interest to
all. What we most need at the State
Capitol, during these close, "hard
times" is a fnancier, and none will
pose successfully in that capacity for
the public better than the one who in
private life has so well proved his
ability in that line.

mess to its present proportions fur
ther proves that his business meth
DDS are eminently honorable and sat
lstactory to all with whom he has
dealings. Mr.. Page, while not a pol
ltlclan as the term is usually applied,
takes an active interest in public af-
fairs, as all right-minded citizens
should. He has filed a number of
important offices in the State, and
always with credit to himself and sat
isfactiOn to the people. He is en-
dorsed as candidate for Governor by
nearly all the leading Republican pa
pers of the State, and no better choice

Il
The questions of taxation and fl
nance are grave ones in Vermont. The
State is carrying a heavy burden in
the way of taxes, a fact that more
than anything else retards it's
growth. That there is a leak some
where is evident. In many towns it
results from local extravaganza or
mismanagement; in some of the
larger places it is due to the cum
broUs system of town and village
government which increases expenses
and in many cases gives no adequate
return, but State taxation has some
thing to do with it. Now there must
be an end to this taxation incubus,
and that speedily. 1t is difficult to
reach the several towns in their local
administration with a general re-
form, but we can begin by a retrench-
ment in State affairs, which will light
en- the whole burden at once. We do
not believe in a niggardiy policy.
Liberality and extravaganza are
wide apart, but there is q constant
tendency to careless legislation as eff
fecting appropriations in the Legisla-
lures of most of the States and in the
National Congress. Toom much money
is frittered away in unwise expendi-
lures. Where money can be used to
the advantage of the State IIeb II be
used freely. Everything else should
be curtailed. To secure legislators
who will act on this principle no mat
ter what pressure may be brought to
bear by the many patriots whose
motto is "An appropriation and the
old flag" should be the earnest care
of the voters in every town in YER
mont. Here are three large-sized
subjects for the next Legislature to
deal witb-the senatorship, constitu-
tional amendments and taxation.
They need large-sized men to deal
with them, men large intellectually
big of brain and strong of purpose.
