MINING NOTES.

The Florence hosting machinery is
being placed in position and will be a
great improvement on that property.
The station for its placement is in the
lower tunnel 1876 feet from its mouth.
Here will be made an upraise to the
surface and sinking will be begun. The
machinery is fine in its finish and
will do great work toward the develop
ment of this valuable property.
The Moulton has sunk it's big
shaft below the 800 foot level, a
station has been cut and croscutt-
ing begun. With power drills, the
$50 feet of country will soon be
crossed and we soon will know what
the Moulton has in it's lead. This
will be an event which tells much of
veal Or voc to this place.

A WORKOUT HUMBUo.

That old humbug, the 'non-promotion"
argument, is being galvanized into life
again for campaign purposes. 1t was
contended two years ago Dy Mr. Pages
friends that rs the custom of promoting
lieutenant governors to he governors,
which had obtained for several years,
was broken in the case of Lieut.-Gov.
Fuller, it should not he followed then by
the promotion Col. Woodbury.. Much
was made of this feature of the campaign
of 1890 The simple truth of that fight
has often been stated in these columns.
1t is that Mr.. Page was willing to, and in
fact did put out more money than Col.
Woodbury., managed his battle with more
vigor and perhaps with more skill, and
consequently won. This is the gist of
the matter. Nobody outside the politi-
clans cared anything at all about the
"non-promotion" business. Mr.. Page
and his friends naturally worked it for
all it was worth, as they had perfect
right to do; but nevertheless it did not
then signify and does not now. Senator
Proctor was promoted because it was
evident to everybody that he merited it
as man of energy and ability; in the
cases of some at least of his immediate
successors the same was true. Col. Full
Ter was not promoted because his friend
and hacker, Col. Hooker, in presenting
his name to the convention of 1886, eX-
pressly stipulated that he would not be a
candidate for governor in 1888. Col.
Woodbury's case has been reviewed.
There is not and there ought not to be
any rule about the matter. If. as is true
of Mr.. Fletcher. Il lieutenant governor so
commends himself to the people that
they deem him worthy of promotion, he
should be promoted. provided there is no
better man in the field. On the other
hand, weak lieutenant governor should
invariably be retired at the end Of his
service in that capacity. The only
right rule to follow, if there must be a
rule, is to put the best available man at
the head of the ticket whether he is or
governor or poor master. In that way
the party will never have occasion to be
ashamed of itself, as it might if any
other rule were adopted.

THE BuNCO GAME.

The swindling of New Haven farmer
on Tuesday by two sharpers illustrates
anew how easy it is for those who know
human nature to make people do the
very thing which their next-door neigh
bors would swear they never could be
induced to do. But the theory of the
game is exceedingly simple. 1t necessi-
tates only the discovery of a money-lov-
ing person whose cupidity can be eXcit-
ed. This accomplished, it is not hard to
lead him on to his own financial destruc-
ton. Just this happened to Mr.. Wright,
and exactly the same features character
lze every swindle of the bunco kind, as
well as many others. The same spirit
which draws a man into bunco game
leads folk to pay dollar and half for II
worthless paper in order that they may
have fifty cents worth of reading and Il
chrome that may have cost the publisher
fifteen cents. And so it goes in all sorts
of trades the public is always as anxious
as the victims of the bunco game to get
something for nothing, and they succeed
about as well every time. yet they keep
on persevering in the attempt. never
realizing, even after long and bitter eX-
perience, that most desirable things cost
about all they are worth. "

CURRENT COMMENT.

Neither the Republican (St Johns
bury) or any other paper which sup
ported Colonel Fairbanks has reason for
dsparaging Colonel Fuller, and when it
lis done there is bias of some sort that
the editor does not reveal. 70 our per-
sonal knowledge many of the best Re-
pubicans of st. Johnsbury give. and
will give hearty support to Colonel
Fuller, while they regret the foolish and
unjust course of the Republican, Bar
ton Monitor.
We believe it is generally conceded by
the voters that Mr.. Fletcher has in him
the proper sort of timber and enough of
it. The question is. will he allow the
use of his name? lie certainly never
would ask for the nomination or render
any material assistance in procuring it.,
and he has intimated that he didn't care
for the place. If he retracts and his
friends push him in ahead of the ma
chimes, they will have rendered good
service to this commonwealth. Mr..
Fletcher has many friends in all Sec
tions of the State who would be glad to
contribute their efforts to his support.

THE NEW BLOCK.

/AF. Joseph Battell, having purchased
foTColumbus Smith, Esq, the lot on the
corner of Merchants Row and Main
street on Monday, has been able to per-
feet the plans for his block. 1t will be
of brick, with solid walls, two stories in
height, and will have frontage of l6S
feet on the Row and 80 feet on Main
street. There will be four stores on the
Row, one on the corner and one on Main
street, making six in all, and each of
them will be GO feet deep. Access to the
rear of the building will be had by way
of a road down from the Row on the east
side of the block next to the railway.
The east end of the block will be about
20 feet from the railway, thus giving
room for the driveway. The trimmings
of the block will probably be of marble.
1t will be heated by steam, will be fitted
with closets aud all modern convenen-
ces, and will probably be lighted with
electricity. The line of the front has
been set back on the east end. or, rather,

to the east end, so as to agree with the
south line of the old common given to the
town by the most public-spirited of its

old stores on the Row, only the east Ole,
the Langworthy block, was on the line,
the builders of those lower down on the
street having encroached more or less
upon the public. The front of the new
block will be on line with the front of
the Baptist church, so that when one
going north over the bridge reaches and
turns the corner of the Row he will have
an uninterrupted view up the Row to
Pleasant street. Main street has also
been widened along the front of Mr.. Bat
