A Defeat for the ReactiOniSts

| A Defeat Tor the heactI0mStSs
Saturday Globe.l
Everything indicates that the
Force bill has been given its quiet
us. On Monday, just when Sena-
tor Hoar thought victory in sight,
greatly to his surprise, and in spite
of his attempts to delay decision,
eight Republicans voted with the
solid Democratic strength of the
Senate in favor of taking up the
Finance bill. This means that the
Force bill must take its place upon
the calendar, from which it can be
called out of its order only by a
majority vote.
While this method of dealing
with the question is not the honest
and courageous one, it will proba-
bly, be effective. The eight Hepub-
lican Senators who put themselves
on record in favor of advancing
the Finance bill did not and do
not believe that the Force bill was
right. If they had voted their sem
timents, they would have buried
it at once and forever beyond the
hope of resurrection, or even be-
yond the danger Of further consid-
Grafton Certainly the country
needed this. The extreme policy
Of the Republican party has been
doing great harm to all interests,
The relief needed should, there
fore, have been granted in posi-
tive manner-sO positive, indeed
that there could be no hope of a
resumption of the agitation. Sc
long as the Force bill stands in the
way, nothing else can be done. The
country does not demand it. Even
the majority of the Republican
party is not in favor of it. The in.
telligent white Republicans Of the
South have insisted from the be.
ginning that the agitation was
dangerous and hurtful to their in.
tereSts.
If however, the Republican Sen
ators could not screw up theiI
courage to the sticking point and
vote against the measure, boldly
and honestly, they are at least de
serving Of thanks for doing in ar
indirect way what they had not
the boldness to do directly. There
is no human probability that the
extreme faction will be able to cal
up this measure again. Only forty
five days remain of the session
and as not single appropria
ton bill has even beel
seriously considered in the Senate
it ought to be plain, even to the
most relentless partisan. The Fl
nance bill is likely to demand care
ful consideration, and a good many
other measures are pending which
must consume some days.
On the whole, the promoters o.
this infamous bill have received {
rebuke which they are not likely
to forget. That it will inspire then
with wisdom it would be reckless
to assert; but that it may have th'
effect of teaching them prudence
ought to be certain. The time
when the country had settled dowr
into profound peace, when section
al passions had been allayed, WheI
the business relations of the tive
great parts Of the country had be
come closely interviewer, was tina
chosen by the Feactionists for tht
purpose of imposing upon one por
tion of the country laws utterl,
foreign to the spirit Of our institu
tions. Nothing that the SLAYER!
advocates did the heyday of thei
power ever showed greater disre
gard of the sentiment of the coup
try, or of that patriotism whicI
should enable every man to ris
above the mere dictates of party.

ing of the recent alleged in terview
with Mr.. Brice, published in a
Washington paper as to the Cleve-
land and Hill campaign, of 1888,
said: at is absurd. Senator Brice
does not indulge in criticism. In
fact l never met a man who so
universally had a good word for
those with whom he came in con-
tact as had he, He always spoke
in the highest terms of ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland and Governor Hill
as well as of other leading Demo-
Gratis whose names were frequent
ly mentioned. Aside from all this
his position as chairman of the
Natiopal Committee makes it GER
tain he would not criticise leading

neither wouiG he say anything that
might he construed as Presideu-
tial objection or preference for 1892.

The Mad River Valley Rail-
road Scheme.

A correspondent, the present repre-
sentative from Rochester, writes an
interesting letter on the subject of rail-
way communication between Rutland
and Montpelier via Mad River Valley.
No project excites so lively an interest
in all the towns along the proposed
line, but Rochester has always been
particularly and earnestly enthusiastic
in seconding any move for the building
of this line. II is unnecessary to en-
large upon the commercial and political
interest that Montpelier has in this
project. All the towns having direct
business relations with Montpelier
would share largely in the advantages
to be derived from the new line to New
York and the West. But letters like
those of "W. c." and -" * )" or news
paper articles, will not build the line or
take the preliminary steps for building.
Circumstances constitute Montpe Ter
the natural leader in this enterprise.
There must be action taken. Mont
pelier has a board of trade organized
especially to foster the business inter-
ests of the town. No other project, in
its bearing upon those interests, can
compare with this proposed line of rail-
way via Mad River valley to Rutland.
The enterprise has the strongest claims
to the earnest consideration of that
body, and consideration should develop
in some active form. A passive interest
doesn't count. A strong committee of
promotion should be constituted, CORE
spondence with other towns and other
interests begun, and some scheme of
united, systematic, effective action
evolved. Montpelier will find the
towns all along the line quick and eager
to follow. Providence helps those who
help themselves, and an earnest effort
to find the way for a railroad to Rut-
land and the means to build it will in
time discover both. Circumstances,
we say, constitute Montpelier the natu-
raj leader in this enterprise, and she
ought through her board of trade, or
in some other way, to improve at once
her opportunities for leadership in
work that, completed, will add vastly to
her material wealth aud to her power
and prestige.

obituary..

TowNER. -Sewell Sturtevant Towner died
last Thursday afternoon after long and
painful illness He was one of the best
known business men at the capital, having
been identified with the affairs of this town
for over a quatter century. Mr.. Towner
was born in Orange, June 10, 1886. He
came to Montpelier in 1865, and began work
as clerk for L. X. Skinner, who then con-
Quoted a Wholesale Yankee-notion store.
Three or four years later, Mr.. Towner went
to Boston, but after year there he returned
and bought out the old Mark French store
on Main street. After disposing of the
stock of groceries, he fitted the store for
fancy goods and notions. From that he
went into the millinery and fancy goods
business, and conducted it for thirteen
years. Then he went to Lynn, Mass. but,
after a stay of year, returned and bought
the farm in Berlin where he lived until his
death. Six years ago Mr.. Towner bought
out the furniture business of +. n. Scovill,
which was located where the Standish
meat market now stands. Later he moved
to the Golden Fleece building, where the
business is at present located. Mr.. Towner
was married in 1889, aud leaves wife and
one son, Edward E., who is to continue the
business. The funeral was held Saturday
morning, at ten o'clock, Rev. &. o. Web
ster, assisted by Rev. L. A. Bishop, otiiciat-
ing. The bearers were Maynard Brown,
George Ii. Guernsey, George Goodwin and
III. NJ. Fales. The interment was at West

paid want no such thing; that tie seat
was not a part of the purchase Bank
Examiner Kemp said the seat was worth
about ten dollars, but after the witnesses
mad finished estimating the value was
placed at about a hundred cents. The case
was heard before Justice Smile and A Jury
and was argued with great ability by both
sides The jury returned verdict that the
plaintiff recover ninety cents, which, with
costs, made the whole bill $3.50 Narcotic
Kept the wagon seat. The nature of the
case did not admit of its being carried to
the supreme court.
THERE was rattle DER the frozen street ,
the CHATTER of hOofs, and the loiterers at the
Apollo Club who rushed to the windows
saw Thomas Eagan's spirited horse streak
ing toward Berlin with an open buggy and
basket OF washing attached. The Barre
street corner was safely turned, and the
spectators sank back in their chairs and re-
sumed reading. few minutes later the
runaway team came gathering back. and
started for the show-windows in l.. p.
Gleason's store. The team of T. X. Gordon
happened to be in the way; the two buggies
locked wheels, and Mr.. Gordon's carriage
was torn away from his horse, which never
moved muscle, as it is warranted sound
and Kind. The runaway steed could not
carry everything, and was soon captured
ana subdued. The laundry was scattered
10 the four winds; a sheet hung on a hy-
drant, pillow-case embraced an electric
light pole, while towels were distributed
al HC. Later it was learned that Ed Cor
man had driven up Clay hill with the laun-
dry; the horse became frightened, and
started on its insane galop.

THE Ludlow Tribune takes the ex-
traordinary ground that the nomination
for governor of any person who has
once held the office of lieutenant gov
ernor would be "to revive the old pro-
motion heresy, with slight modifica-
tion," and, as consequence, the long
array of ex-lieutenant governors now
living would come up, one by one, to
claim the honors of the chief executive
office. The opposition to the promo
ton of the lieutenant governor to the
office of governor was not 80 much on
the score of principle as of political
morals. In 1886 the feeling was that
the custom of promoting had become
established and that it was not wise
rule. There was move to break the
rule and it was broken. In 1890 a ma
jority of the people declared that they
were not willing to do any act that
might look like re-establishing the GUS
tom, but in all the discussions of that
to occupy the second Office was to rem
der the occupant forever ineligible to
the first. 1t was not even maintained
that in no case, under no circumstances,
should the lieutenant governor be nomi-
mated directly to the govenOrship. The
contention was that a custom should
not be established by which the second
Office should become stepping-stone
to the office of the chief executive;
that candidates should be placed on the
same level, should come from the ranks
of non-official life, so that man from
the ranks should not always be pitted
against rival holding the Office OF

THE unusual activity about naval
