Colonel Thomas p. Cheney of Ashland,
\. H., the nominee Of the pension agency Of
the district comprising New Hampshire and
Vermont, is a thoroughly capable man, and
the selection is pronounced a good one by
those who know him. He was superinten-
dent of the New England division of the
railway mail service for the 10 years from
1869 TO 1884 succeeded Colonel Whitford
as pension agent at Concord, NH. has
been a member Of the New Hampshire
Senate and House of Representatives. He
was brave and faithful soldier, who was
honorably discharged in the latter part of
the war for physical disability. If he
makes as good a record this time as he has
made in the other positions he has held, he
will prove a success as pension agent.

Rather Significant.
From the st. Adams Messenger !

From the IT. Adams Messenger
One of the most significant things appear
ing in the fruitlesS interview with a leading
Vermont gentleman in the governorship
matter was the herading of the grand
newspaper avalanche which had been ar
ranged to come down for Mr.. Page at the
proper time, including every democratic
sheet in the State and those of pronounced
mugwump proclivities. 1t came as pre-
arranged and provided for, but nobody was
startled, and it has been kept up Ii is
somewhat remarkable that it was limited
chiefly 20 the least side which is disposed
to select a governor from our ''west side
candidates this year. 1t is quite signifies Mt
also that the most furious fusiladcs were
first from sections dotted all over with
spots on the Valentine map. In this con
ncction the following quotation from the
Mddlebury Register may not be inappro-
pirate; "The opinion Of a newspaper may
be bought, it may be forced on the editor
by outside influences it may be based solely
upon the prejudices of the editor or it may
be more or less successful attempt to
voice the notions of the papers constitu-
ency. Now, which of these ideas does the
Page syndicate of papers represent.

Another Wow OF thc Decision.

The recent decision of tho United States
question is giving rise to a great deal of
very interesting talk. While it was
severe blow to prohibition. and an equally
severe blow TO high license, the Boston
Herald thinks that both factions-tho license
men and the prohibitionsts-are liable to
make good deal moro Of it than is war
ranted. The friends Of license are likely 70
be nisled into thinking that il affects pro
hibitory laws dsastrously, and the support
ers of the laws are very likely to be I'M
necessarily Frightened Theoretically"
the Herald thinks. 90 the decision is very
important practically, it will not he OF
much account except as a recognition of
the underlying principle, which may have
many applications in other classes Of cases. "
The Herald adds
The decision Us simply this That if John
Jones, LIVING IN NJ-slcAU Ctt-, sells t. Peter
Brown, living - Alainr, Il kcg ol beer, the
state Of Maine cannot make and Cutorcc
| law to prevent d g auspOrtlt,un Of the beer

coniiscated while it is hring carried to the

! which will he permitted aud done under this

once in a while, a man VINO wants Liquor
| badly enough To come to MASSACHUSETTS,
or to send hero and buy it, The court

! ii even protect their stocks in process of trans

side of their own state. If a Bangor dealer
| buys of a Portland wholesaler, his purchase
are still Liable to seizure. There isn't mdcl
cause for any rejoicing on the part OF the Liquor
| dealers, and the prohihitiou!t t. needn't ge

Whatever bearing this decision may have
on the enforcement of the prohbitory law:
it seems to be generally conceded that it vii
tend to force the question into sreaternation
, al prominence.

The New York World is evidently get
ting its readers ready for the forthcoming
statement by Reporter Crawford regarding
the famous Cleveland interview. The
World says; "While the language attri-
buted to Mr.. Cleveland was coarse and in
temperate it was believed in the World
office that Nr. Cleveland, incensed by long
continued Misrepresentation and abuse,
had finally made up his mind TO express
himself touching his prosecutor in terms
which if emphatic were not altogether un-
warranted" The World is ont with an
other editorial on the subject, in which the
reporter is made the Worlds scapegoat.
Mr.. Crawfords statement, which is said tc
be in preparation, is awaited with much in
terest.

Where Vermont is at Disadvantage.
Correspondence Homestead. ]

New England is in many ways better
adapted for raising dairy cattle than the
West, Its varied hills and valleys are
covered with plenty of nutritious grasses
while numerous springs supply plenty of
cool, fresh water But one of the greatest
enemies to our dairying is the oleo made in
Chicago and shipped to our markets by the
carload in refrigerator cars. In this way
it arrives in good shape, ready to be sold as
butter. The Vermont or New Hampshire
farmer does not have these cars, The rail
road furnishes him no such advantages. As
result, his butter reaches Boston or New
York in Il poor state, and brings lower
price.

The pcnpie wiIl Decide IT.

From the II. Johnsbury Republican,
The Burlington FREE Press and the St
Adams Messenger drop on us with n sicken-
ing thud for our temerity in saying that
military service of 30 years ago has no sub
stantial relation to mans qualifications
for governor III this year of grace 1890.
The argument has been made on both sides
and We are willing to leave the decision to
tho people. IN justice to ourselves we may
add that no man respects and houors a gal
liant veteran more than we do; and that we
have a particular respect and esteem for
COL Woodbury.. based upon an intimate
knowledge of his ability. force of character
and many excellent qualities We favor
Mr.. Pages candidacy, but we do not find
it necessary on that account to sur his OPP
poneut.
To our personal knowledge, Mr.. Page and
Col. Woodbury. possess the entire respect
and confidence OF the communities i'll which
they live and Of hosts of friends through the
State; both are honorable men, wholly
above the WEAKNESSES of which some OF
their opponents accuse them; both are mon
OF much more than common ability, capa-
city and experience; and the governorship
has been flied by many men much smaller
than either of them. Why in the name of
decency can t we have canvass worthy of
the dignity of the goyernorship and Of the
State

Bounty on Maple Sugar.

Nermonters should pray for the quick re
turn to health of Congressman Circuit who
proposes to look after the interests of the
Vermont maple sugar makers when the new
tariff bill comes up for discussion. As was
stated in our Washington special yesterday
he was assured that if the sugar was put on
the free list and a bounty paid, he should
be heard unless maple sugar was included
1t was decided to put sugar on the free list
with bounty, but none was provided for
maple sugar, and the congressman from the
second district sends word from his sicl;
room that he has collected a great mass of
statistics on the subject, which lie had pre-
pared for presentation to the committee,
and now he proposes to be heard The Cen
eral is a genuine Nermoutcr and not easily
discouraged. He is always in earnest when
he takes hold of a subject and always com
mands respectful attention in the House
and we shall expect to record his success in
his effort to secure for the Vermont maple
sugar maker due attention

as an organizer and his eloquence as
preacher, built up a fine congregation
and erected beautiful church and rec
tory at Phoenix. DR.. Pearson's themes
yesterday were, in the morning, "Knowl-
edge and Science" and in the evening,
"The Redeeming Majesty of the Son Of
God" 1t is not often that even in this
city of good sermons two such discourses
are heard by any congregation in one
day. No brief report would do them
justice.
Ground will be broken on the new I'm
manuel church edifce today. The
cornerstone will be laid next Monday.
The building is to be finished in about
four months and half, and the inaug-
urating services will take place about
Thanksgiving. Individual parties,
friends of the church, are bespeaking
the privilege of putting in memorial
windows. One OF these has been taken
by Mrs. Hollenbeck, who will supply a
beautiful window in memory of her hus-
band, who had many friends now mem
bers OF the Emmanuel congregation.
The structure promises to be fine
architectural ornament to the city.

dox's court, after having been held to
answer to the charge of assaulting man
with deadly weapon, by pointing a
pistol at him.
At 7:15 o'clock last evening an alarm
was rung in from box 81 for a lively
blaze in the rear of the residence of Jose
Mascarel on the corner of Amelia and
Commercial streets, caused by the mex
plicable ignition of the contents of
five-gallon can of coal-oil in the kitchen.
The department turned out, but the
services of the fremen were not re-
quired, as the blaze had been extin-
guished by the employees of the Phila-
delphia brewery, across the street, be-
fore their arrival. The house was sub
let to the family of Jose Larque, but no
one was at home when the fire broke
out, consequently the origin could not
be ascertained. The damage, estimated
at $3.50, was covered by insurance.
