FORT ETHAN ALLEN.

The Army and Navy Journal says that
the last official act of Secretary Elkins
was to give the name of Ethan Allen to
the new military postin Vermont, which
he did at the request of Senator Proctor.
This reminds us that the State is in
debted in no small degree to Senator
Proctor for the establishment of this
military post, the Senator having become
impressed with its necessity while he
was secretary of war. He was in an ex-
cellent position to promote the project
when he entered the Senate, and that he
omitted no legitimate means to that end
is abundantly testified by the manner in
which the matter was treated by Con-
gress.
Vermonts new military post was as
fortunate, therefore, in the position and
influence of its friends and promoters at
home and in Washington, as it is rich in
historical associations. In addition to
being situated on land owned at one time
by Ira Allen, it was named after Yer
monts hero of revolution fame as the
last official act OF Mr.. Elkins while Presi-
dent Harrison's secretary of war. The
new military post has been Instituted un-
der the most auspicIous omens, and the
energy and position of those who are &C
lively connected with the project are
sufficient to indicate that its construc-
ton and equipment will be accomplished
with the most gratifying success. If the
post is ever put to practical test of its
merits 1t can do nothing more satisfac.
tory than to prove itself worthy of the
name it bears.-Free Press.

THE SEWERS.

The call for special village meeting
appears in another column to-day, and
the warning is to rescindlthe votes taker
at the late meeting 70 put in sewers. We
find upon talking with Jour people that
many who are in favor of the sewers fee
that the plans submitted were not made
public and discussed as they should have
been.
Others feel that the size of the main
sewers are too small, and Others
still that the proposed depth is toe
shallow to drain into, and that the
mains and connections will be affected
by frost. OF course there are those who
are opposed to all improvements but the
above questions are raised by men whose
opinion is entitled to consideration. We
do not believe the special meeting can
undo the work of that of March 9th, but
we think the Trustees and sewer COM
mittee owe the duty TO the public to have
the engineer present March Goth, or at
the annual meeting next week, to give
a full and frank explanation of what has
been done and the effects upon the con
veniences and recto nmodations of those
who are to use the sewers.

No Blanks Nm This Competition.

This is IA competition of rather an unusual
nature. II is common TO offer prizes for the
best story, or picture. or architectural plan,
all the competitors riskiDg the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling his
for tho amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something different.
Each person is asked merely to help himself,
and the one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it. The
prize is only a stimulus to do something that
would be we'll worth doing without it. Tho
architect whose competitive plan for a club
house on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very little use
to him. But the person who patents a simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Com
pany's competition, need not worry if he fail
to secure the prize. He has a substantial re-
suit to show for his work-one that will com
mand its value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popular
ity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred Of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.
