EXIT Amy.

Almy, who so foully murdered
Christie Warden, has at last paid
the penalty of his deed, and the law
is fully justified. There is no doubt
that many people living in the immc-
date vicinity of his crime breathe
easier now that this desperate char
acter is out Of the way. His career
was indeed remarkable one, and
the story Of his life, written out in
detail, would surpass in it's compass
of daring and deviltry much Of
the yellow-covered literature now
thrown out to poison the public
mind. Seldom is a criminal more
talked OF, in newspaper and private
conversation, than this same Amy
has been, and his taking off by virtue
of law closes a chapter of horrors
that may well be speedily forgotten.
A handsomely illustrated book set
ting forth the industrial, education
al and social attractions of YER
mont has been prepared by the State
Board Of Agriculture, under the i'm
mediate supervision of Hon. Victor
l. Spear, and is now being distri-
buted to attendants at the Worlds
Fair by way of acquainting them
with the Green Mountain state.
The publication is finely printed, the
work being done at the Montpelier
Argus Office, and it reflects great
creditupon that establishment. The
letter-press of the volume includes
brief sketch of the state history, with
something in regard to the agricul-
tural, manufacturing and other in
terests, not forgetting Vermont's
peculiar attractions as summer
resort. The book tells a reliable
story, and will prove interesting
reading to everybody who gets hold
of it at the fair. A very large edi-
ton was published, so that the circu.
lation might be wide.

Another ocean greyhound has
startled the public by making ex.
traordnary time from port to port
across the big water. 1t was the
newly-built Cunarder, the Campo.
MIA, which, on her first voyage,
made the eastward trip in FIVE days
seventeen hours and twenty-seven
minutes. This is the quickest pas
sage in this direction ever made, but
it is expected that the Campania
will do even better on the westward
trip. These new and splendidy
equipped ships are doing a great
deal to lessen the distance from this
to foreign shores, and taking away
much Of the tedium of European
trip.

Capt. Richard Pike, whose picture
was shown by Lieut.. Peary in his
lecture at St. Johnsbury, died in New
York recently. Capt. Pike COM
manded the Kite and was more ia
miiar with the Arctic region than
any other mariner. He had been in
command of sealing vessels ever
since he was IS, and in 1881 he car
ried Lieut.. Greedy on the steamer
Proteus north to Lady Franklin
Bay, returning thither two years
later to relieve that venturesome
explorer.

isfactiOn that the water works pro-
blem is still in the possession OF
the city council.
The report of the committee to
confer with the Water works COM
mittee is a long and exhaustive
document, occupying over three
columns of the morning paper. Its
length will deter many persons
from a careful reading, but the sub.
| ject deserves the consideration OF
every taXpaying citizen.
The main points are that the
| committee refused to entertain the
proposition of the WaterwOrks
company to enter into quarter of
a century contract; and recon-
mend a two years contract upon
the following terms:
The city to pay $1,000 per month
for use of fire hydrants; the Water
| works company to put in addi-
tiOnal mains and additional n.y.
drants, at a rental of $50 each per
annum; all rates to private con-
sumers to be reduced % per cent.
from present price; all water used
by city for public purposes, not in
Guiding fountains and City hall
elevator, free; rent of city property
at head of river free to company.
These liberal terms are backed
by a strOug array of facts and ar
guments, and in conclusion the
committee ask to be discharged, as
the water works company had no.
titled them that no proposition for
a contract for a shorter term than
"eXisting contract" would be en-
tertained.
Alderman Beckmann, from some
impulse of admiration for the
good work of the committee moved
that the report be adopted, except
that it be not discharged. Logical
~ and from a business stand point
the committee was done with their
work, and the resolution of Alder
man Elmendorf, requiring the city
attorney to draw up an ordinance
in accordance with the terms set
forth by the committee, ended the
whole business.
Considering the fact that the
Waterwork's company has been
permitted for fifteen years to dep
rebate upon the people and city
without authority of a legal con-
tract, the terms now proposed are
more than liberal.
The people look upon the recon-
mendations of the committee as
highly conservative. Let the coun-
Gil move right along with firmness
upon the line of acti on proposed.
1t is not likely that the Water
works company will succOmb to
these reasonable terms, as it has
been so accustomed to having its
own way with the city govern
ment and the people.
The intimatiOn in the cOmmuni-
cation to the committee. they al
Jude to 'the existing contract" so
it would seem while the water
works company was willing to
allow the city to declare their con-
tract void for the purpose of secur-
ing another - years lease of life, it
is not willing to permit the con-
tract to be ignored for two years
contract.
Keep your eyes open, gentlemen.
The people are watching you with
intense interest. If there is a single
man in the council who can so far
forget his obligation to the people
as to be friend or advocate of the
WaterwOrks company as against
the interests of the people, he will
never be forgotten or forgiven.
