A good deal of discussion mas taken place
at Rutland as to the meaning and effect Of
act No 43of the laws Of 1890, which reads
in its first and principal section that
section one OF act so. o Of the acts of 1851 is
hereby amended as to read as follows. In
towns whose population by the last census taken
small 10" under the control and direction of the
-rier'weI ut their respective towns
No. iN of the laws of 1884 here referred
70 provided for the appointment of over
seers of the poor 10y the selectmen in towns
of over 10000 inhabitants. instead Of their
election 10y the people as in other towns.
The act also provided that the overseer So
appointed should be under the control and
direction of the seectmen of their respect
i've towns The argument in Rutland by
ex-Judge Barrett, Lawyer Harmon as at.
torney for the selectmen, and others, has
been to prove what the effect of the act OF
1880 Is under certain premises or surmises
which have been raised. The common
sense and evident view appears TO be that
the act of 1890 simply puts section one
above quoted IN place of section one of the
law of 1884. and it therefore provides sim.
ply that in towns of over 5000 inhabitants
like Brattleboro for instance, the overseer.

OUR RAILROAD PROBLEM

Mr. Writers Of 81 Albans a leading at
torney for the Contra Vermont railroad
company, was IN town recently u look over
the ground and to confer with States At
torney Hit aud others about the indict-
ment which Is pending against the company
for the encroachment of It's tracks on the
highway at the dangerous point on the
Vernon road The purpose of the company
apparently Is II the case Is pushed 70 an
issue. 10 simply move the encruaching rail
and there let the matter rest Growing
out OF tins Col. Fuller mas addressed let
ter 70 Mr. HIT, covering the general sub
lect OF our freight and passenger facilities
Col. Fuller thinks meeting Of the leading
freight shippers and other business men and
the seectmen should be held to determine
~ "A larger sense than the mere eucroach-
ment Of single track on the highway as
70 what Is reasonable demand for this
community to make, in order To settle for
ever the difficult problem which Is present
eel ' As a solution that would readily solve
the problem Col. Fuller thinks. and cor.
rectly doubtless, that the only feasible way.
and the only really economical one for the
railroad company - 10 completely recon
struct and rearrAnge the railroad ward To
get mi Of the dangerous point on the Vernon
road IA new highway must be built This
should be surveyed by competent engineers
and then the town and the railroad com
pany should enter into a mutual arrange
ment for it, construction
Col. tuller's plan for the Encouragement
Of our freight and passenger facilities Is to
take out the present freight track next the
stone ledge then remove the passenger
station tn the est side OF the track. build
ing either upon the ledge or where the
marble shop now stands extending the
platform down the ledge where the freight
track spoken of now hes The platform
could extend up the street for the conven
fence Of passengers, and IN the triangular
/ corner thus formed a location for carriages
could Toe made while on the line of the
4 sidewalk would be place for hacks, hotel
carriages, etc. OF course the freight house
would be removed % a convenient location
and the tracks would then be reaid up
/ through the yard, occupying the room thus
afforded, and giving conveniences for local
shippers u load aud unload freight Bv
I this arrangement teams CARRYING passen
( gers would not cross the track and only
freight teams would do So
This plan is undoubtedly a practicable
one. and 1t is true beyond any question that
no satisfactory arrangement of the railroad
yard will ever he reached until the passen-
ger station Is removed q the west side Of
the track, where it ought u have been built
IN the first place. 1t was simply Il TEN.
porting expedient when 1t was built where

Owing largely 70 persistent Democratic
misrepresentation, there are many people
who do not understand that a reciprocity
arrangement like that with Brazil or like
that which is nearly ready 20 go into effect
with Venezuela Is made possible under the
provisions Of the new tariff law The Al
many journal SAYS The reciprocity amend
ment 90 the Mckinley bill, which was pre-
scented originally 10y senator Aldrich Of
Rhode Island, and under whose provisions
a reciprocal agreement with Brazil has
been reached by Mr. Blaine was adopted
hy the vote Of every Republican senator
aud despite the opposition of every Demo
cratic senator In the House. likewise the
reciprocity amendment 70 the Mckinley bill
received only Republican support and "a
solid opposition from the Democrats. There
are Democrats doubtless, who believe IN
the reciprocity clause Of the Mckinley law
aud in the reciprocal arrangement with
Brazil But there was no Democrat either
in the Senate or the House, last summer
who voted for the Aldrich reciprocity
amendment.
