SENATE.


 Before the senate assembled this morning, a little log rolling for lieu tenant governor was indulged in. Senator Williams has decided not to allow his name to go before the senate. This leaves the contest be- tween Senators Hamby and Hawkins. Both are hold-over senators, and highly popular with their fellows.

Capt. Hoyt who inspected the v ~
G. at Bennington, has made his re-
port to the War Department. Our
militia consists of twelve companies OF
fftv men each, about one in five hund-
red of those capable of bearing arms.
Capt. Hoyt makes some sharp crlt'-
cisms. He thinks the militia is too
small. He should remember that the
state is small. We have no large CIT

mon the militia. This service Is ex-
nens;ve. To sustain large number
ot compauies there must be local pride
to call out voluntary contributions. II

While he thinks that some OF the COM
NAMES are fairly well drilled, Others he
ssvs are deficient. They lack in prac-
too drills. The officers had good ca
nac;tv but not much experience. The
enlisted men were too young, green
and even physically disqualified The
Cant was evidently disappointed that
be did not find men equal to those VINO
had been trained for years. But ms
chief ground of complaint was the lack
Of Difference shown by the men to the
officers. They were too familiar. But

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Newspaper Changes.

The Brandon Union now comes to
us in an eight-page form, and looks
neat and clean. Mr.. Upper proves
himself successful newspaper man as
well as preacher. His paper is good
enough to go into any family, clean,
wholesome, sound in politics, as might
be expected of any paper edited by a
veteran, sure on the temperance ques-
ton, and level on every matter that
pertains to the public good. Brandon
has a paper now that is credit to the
place. The Hardwick Gazette has
reached the age of two years and can
hardly be called pulling infant any
longer. 1t is sharp and ''sassy" and
has done a good thing in booming the
town in which it lives and moves and
where the editor gets his board. Two
wears more and the paper will have at
tanned such strength of limb as to war
rant good old newspaper age.

against some brute, thus showing HIM
self worse than the brute. 1t is true
we have laws against these things, but
not many care TO interfere and breed
neighborhood quarrels. The way to
do is TO train up boys and girls to res
pect the rights of animals. And one
way to do this is to place in their hands
such reading as ''Our Dumb Animals, +"
"Black Beauty" etc. They need to
grow into kindly feeling towards
them, and such reading as we have
mentioned will help the growth. We
are glad such a society as that of which
sour Dumb Animals" is the organ,
exists, and we wish there were branch
es Of it in every town in Vermont. We
cannot be too good in this world if we
are good towards everything witt which
we have to deal. Give our animals
the best show we can, it will profit us
in the end.

Deavitt and the watchman.

Mr.. T. j. Deavitt is large stock
holder in, and president of, the compa-
fny that owns the Watchman of which
Mr.. Arthur Ropes is editor. 1t appears
that there is not harmony in the Watch
man family. In the last number Of
the Mortified News Mr.. Deavitt brings
some grave charges against Mr.. Ropes.
Mr.. Deavitt was opposed to Mr.. Proc
tors being chosen as senator, and Mr..
Ropes support of Mr.. Proctor seems
to have aroused his ire. This person.
al controversy between the two gentle
men is no business of ours, although
we are interested to know what the
outcome will be. Whatever Mr.. Dea-
witt may desire or wish MIR. Proctor
has been chosen senator much to the
satisfaction of most of the people of the
state. The charges against Mr.. Proc
tor in connection with the "Soldiers'
Home" at Bennington are easily shown
to be groundless. No man without a
purpose to gain could have given such
an Interpretation as Mr.. Deayitt has
done TO the action of Mr.. Proctor as
one Of the trustees of that institution.
All who know Mr.. Proctor know that
there is not another man in the state
who takes deeper interest in the vel
fare of the veterans, and yet his way
may not be Mr.. Deavitt's way,-which
is the best way and which accomplish
es the best results tor the parties most
interested we leave to others to Judge.
A broil in the Watchman family is not
a pleasant affair, and we trust that the
storm will pass quickly and the waters
become smooth again.

The Chilian War.

Balmaceda, president of the Chilian
Republic. appears to have been con-
summate rascal. He gathered lot of
rascals around him into his cabinet,
and by their aid he got possession OF
the government and set at defiance the
authority of Congress. A war follow
ed in which the congressional party
was placed in the attitude Of revolu-
tionists. In some way they managed
to obtain superior arms and by means
thereof have Just won an important VIC
tory. Balmaceda has been driven from
temporary power, and those associated
with him are scattering with whatever
booty they can get hold of. The con-
oressionalists have conducted affairs In
: very candid manner and at this point
of view it seems wise thing for them
to have gained the control. Any en-
barrassment under which our govern
ment may have been placed will now
be removed as Balmaceda has passed
out of sight. We shall look for prog
ress in that Republic. 1t is the most
enterprising in South America and the
revolution has developed some men
who know what they are about.
