Tho ELECTION Locally.

Tuesdays election was a most inter
esting event to Republicans, especially
in its results. The vote on the State,
county and congressional tickets is given
in the table in another place. These fig
ures show the work that had been done
on both sides. In a registry of over
1900 there were over 1900 votes polled.
This shows that quite portion of our
people did not vote. The ballotting
showed several peculiar features. There
was class of men who voted carelessly,
and hence portion of the tickets were
so defective that the board could not di-
eide as to the intent and these ballots
were thrown out - all others were
counted A part of the freemen voted
for one or two or three men on local
tickets and refrained from checking all
the other names, so that while the num-
Der voted as stated above, yet the high
est number of votes received by any one
of the competing candidates was 1880,
cast on the representative ballot. The
vote stood.

An Imnortant Matter.

School committees should bear in
mind that a contract to teach made with
teacher who has no license is illegal.
If such teacher is hired to teach in a
common school the district must lose its
public money and not dollar of tax
can be legally raised among the people
to pay the wages of such teacher.
1t is the duty of the committee under
the law when hiring teacher to ask for
and to see and to examine the teachers
license before he hires her. In doing
SO the committee should be careful to
see that the license is still in force.
A teacher has the right to teach in the
district schools if she has diploma
from Vermont Normal school, if she
has an unexpired certificate from the
county examiner, or if she has permit
from the town superintendent of the
town in which the school is located
The permit must be granted for partic-
ular term of school.
Committees owe it to the people of
their district to see that teacher who
applies for place has the right to teach
If the committee is uncertain in regard
to a teacher who has been hired, he
should ascertain Immediately whether
his teacher has license or not 1t is
not the duty of the county examiner nor
of the town superintendent to look after
these matters. 1t is the duty of the man
who hires the teacher. The town
superintendent has authority in the

NJ. E. WATSON, the artist, is to be out

OUR very full election news crowds
out this week a quantity of local and
county matter, that otherwise would
appear.
MRS. DIR. GREENE and daughter Lottie,
of Philadelphia, are visiting in town.
They are on their return from Maine,
where they passed the summer months.
TwENTY-EIGHT defective votes in
total of over 1900 is not above the average
under the old system. This was the re-
suit in Bennington, Tuesday, under the
Australian system.
THIS is the banner shire of this county
and probably will bear off the palm in
comparison with any other part of the
State. FIVE out of eight towns show an
increased plurality over 1888 on the
Governor vote; and Bennington, making
the sixth town, has that honor in COM
parison with the ballot for Lieutenant
Governor.
The Graded schools opened last Mon
day with the largest registration it has
had under the present management
The most noticeable feature is that of
last year still further emphasized-the
large attendance IN the upper grades.
The high school has about sixty students
and the seating capacity of the room is
not sufficient. A list of the teachers with
the position assigned to each will be
given with other school statistics next
week.

worth in Bennington the evening before

are of the opinion that the calamity"
talk of Saturday evening by the Democ-
racy, followed by Mr.. Butterworth's clear
presentation of the issues from Re-
publican standpoint, contributed
materially to the glorious result of Tues
day. No political speech In years has
been as much discussed by the young
men as Maj. Butterworths.

1t will be seen that Mr.. Dewey made
remarkably good run. His plurality
over his Democratic competitor, Mr..
Houghton, was 1856; majority over all,
100. In other words, Mr.. Dewey over
came the adverse majority of Mr.. Hough-
ton two years ago, and polled a victory
as stated. We note that in many towns,
notably SALISBURY and others this year,
where the Republicans put forward
uOung men, Democratic towns of two
years ago have been reclaimed in almost
as goodly numbers as in this town. 1t
seems to us that this is pointer" for
the State and suggests lesson to be
conned in 1894. Mr.. Dewey will go to
the legislature with many cordial wishes
for his success as member of the Gen
eral Assembly of his native State. We
congratulate him upon his brilliant vic
tory of Tuesday The Union justice
ticket of fifteen was elected, by varying
majorities, as follows:
John Robinson, Irving E. Gibson, Mel
vim W. Stewart, James B. Meacham,
Francis Guiltinan, S. Huling Blackmer,
Michael WEIGH, James H. Walbridge,
Edward Walbridge, John T. Shurtleff,
Emory S. Harris, Charles D. Phillips,
William Hurley, Charles H. lockwood,
Elmer II. Rudd.
All the drawback experienced by the
Australian ballot here, was the delay in
counting. 1t is much more cumber..
some way Of counting than the OLD
method, and the midnight hour was
reached before any fixed result could be
ascertained. This fact forbade the usual
tabulation of the County and State for
the press of the next day-a circum-
stance people complained of good deal.
We res erve for another place, and in con-
nection with our table, the remarks we
have to make further on the election of
September 9th, except to say that if the
State had done IS we'll as Bennington
and Bennington county, the word sent
out would have made the majority of
1888 instead of that now known to be
more like the majority of Gov. Pingree
in 1884, OF Gov. Fairbanks in 1915.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Herald's
Panama correspondent says news
comes here of state bordering on an
archy in Venezuela. While the govern
ment old soldiers have been plundering
private houses in La Guayra and Cara
cas-, Dictator Mendoza has assessed the
estate of Guzman Blanco $500 those
OF Rejas Paul, Mammatos and Andru-
eza Palacio 100000 each: Crespo. $780,
600; Santa Ana, $4,000, and other
wealthy estates proportionately. He
orders the immediate confscation of
the estates and Imprisonment of the
managers unless the amounts are paid
at once. He has robbed and closed
the Bank of Venezuela, taking all
the gold and silver in sight and
compelling the directory to agree to
print and issue to him $1,000 paper
money day. The use of the telephone
between Caracas and La Guayra by any
BODY except himself Is forbidden, aud
ne has suspended passenger traffic on
the railroad trains and
Denies Passports
to people desiring to leave the country.
Clearances are refused foreign vessels,
and they have been compelled to ap-
pea! to the war ships for protection in
leaving port. The commerce is entirely
broken. Bishops have been banished,
churches robbed and priests put
in Jail. Altogether there is
q reign of terror. Mendoza
claims that Gen. Ybawa went to the
United States as his commissioner to
buy, arms. and that Villegas will be
made minister either at Washington or
at Madrid. Mr.. Wallis, gentleman Of
the English LloyJs. has been put in jail
at La Guayra. The mails from the Red
ID steamer Philadelphia. instead of being
taken to the postoffice, were taken to
Mendoza's private quarters in the Gus
tom house, and all the letteIs-except
those for Minister Scruggs, Consul
Hanna and Mr.. Bartlett-were opened.
Later some of the merchants received
their mail. The postmaster at La Quay
Ia says that nine-tenths of the letters
are either destroyed or detained by
Mendoza. and that all foreign papers
are burned.

Yesterday. The morning trains at the
union depot brought in two parties of
immigrants; one consisted of four men
from Hamburg, and the other of three
men from Bremen. The latter had first
class tickets over the Northern Pacific
road, and took the 4:55 train for the
Northwest. 1t is not known what be-
came of the party of four, and the i'm
migrant agent at the union depot is con-
siderably worried, for it was partially
his fault they were allowed the privilege
of leaving the depot without first being
detained in the immigrant room for ex-
animation. Friday morning the govern
ment inaugurated system of train in
spection which will render the
sanitary precautions still more
formidable. Each train leaving
New York for the Northwest, having on
board immigrants. carries with it gov
eminent inspector. The first one of
these inspectors arrived in this city Fri
day morning and the second one yester
day morning. The one that arrived yes
terday was watching the party of four
immigrants referred to above, inasmuch
as it was not exactly clear that they had
undergone the necessary inspection in
New York. In some way they were al
lowed to enter the union depot here
without being seen by the immigrant
agent. They were found in the main
waiting room by the night agent, who
came on duty trifle earlier than usual.
He asked the men where they were
going and where they came from, but
one of them, who, it seems, has been in
America before, acted as spokesman,
and declined to tell the agent anything
of their affairs. The agent hurried 10
find the government inspector, who was
DESTROYS of having the party detained,
but when the two came back to the
waiting room the immigrants mad taken
their departure.
Their baggage is still at the depotand
will | e kept there for some little time
until the health authorities have decid-
ed what to do in the matter. The night
immigrant agent was seen at the depot
last night by GLOBE reporter and
asked if the immigrants who escaped
from the depot were suffering from any
disease. He stated that he did not
know, but lie was chargrined to think
they got away from the depot. At 1920
yesterday morning it was reported at
police headquarters that an immigrant
had been taken very ill at Ende's hotel
on First street south. An assistant city
physician was notified, but before lie
put in an appearance DR.. Muldberg was
called to attend the sick man. 1t was
feared by officers in the police station
that the case might turn out to be one Of
cholera, but it happily turned out to be
case of alcoholism, attended with
cramps in the stomach. The sick man is
not an immigrant. though he arrived on
the 500 train fromsome point in Can
ada. His name is o. w. Lane and his
home is in Turtle Lake, Wis.

three of them, and while one of the trio

the corner. 8 box was pulled over the
window In order to keep curious people
from investigating matters 100 closely.
But Patrolman Pat Qualey put in an
appearance and put stop to the sport.
The men on guard saw the officer and

Texas Siftings.
A farmer hired man to help work
the farm. One summer day when
labOrerS were very scarce the two were
moving in the field, when several larks
few up.
'Look at those big Cranes" said the
hired man.
"rhose are not cranes; they are only
larks,'" replied the farmer. somewhat
surprised.
"If you don't say they are cranes, FlI
knock off work right now," said the
hired man.
AS the farmer could get nobody to
take the hired mans place. he was
obliged to yield to the whim of the
mental.
"Yes," said the farmer, 81 see that
they are cranes, but they are not big
Cranes; they are only half-grown
cranes"
The hired man was satisfied with this
concession. <Some months afterwards,
the hired man being in the employ of
the farmer, the latter said at dinner one
day as he poured out glass of water:
Here is some very fine beer"
THAT'S not beer; that's only water"
replied the hired man.
IF you don't say it is beer you can
tender your resignation, for | don't
want any offending partisan about the
place. just taste that again, and if you
think it is not beer you can q uit at
once"
The hired man knew very we'll that
he could not get another situation at
4hat time OF the year, SO he tasted the
water and cheerfully Endorsed the ad-
ministration, saying:
"Of course it is bear. but it has not
got much body to it."
