BOLTON is so near a neighbor to
Washington county that a neighborly
interest in her affairs is felt this side
the county line. 1t is remembered
that, up to 1888, Bolton was demo-
cratic stronghold. In that year George
w. Stevens, an enterprising lumberman
and staunch republican, led the town
into the republican camp, where it has
since remained. Mr.. Stevens was him
self elected to the legislature in that
year, and republican has since repre-
sented the town in the general assem-
bly,. In this connection we learn
with pleasure that Mr.. Stevens name
is favorably mentioned as candidate
for an assistant judgeship of Chitten-
den county court. He is entirely COM
petent, and we hope that Chittenden
county republicans will nominate him
to that office. Merit and service are
fairly entitled to this recognition.

THE senate investigating committee
is inclined to believe that lobbyist Buttz
tried to buy the votes of Senators Kyle
and Hunton against the tariff bill, but
it does not appear that Buttz repre-
scented any one but himself There is
strong favor of romance about the
entire bribery story. In the matter of
the sugar trusts participation in poll
tics and in tariff legislation, the charges
rest mainly on the stories of the news
paper correspondents Shriver, Edwards
and Walker, and these men refuse
to give the sources of the information
on which their charges were made. To
give the names of their informants,
they say, would be gross violation OF
confidence. The committee, it is re-
ported, will recommend legal proceed
ings against these men to compel them
to tell ali they know of the alleged
sugar scandals. Senator Gallery, il
is reported, admit the fact of guilty
conferences between senators and rep
resentatives of the sugar trust. One
of these conferences was at the resi-
dence of Senator Brice, and there were
present, besides Gallery and Brice
Senators German and Hill and Mr.
Havemeyer, president of the sugar
trust, and other persons interested in
sugar. 1t is undoubtedly true tha
much more of a criminal character
than can be proved in legal way
has been going on between senators

THAT band of deluded mortals, styled
the prohibition party of Vermont, and
numbering a score or so of queer peo-
pie, met at Middlebury last week and
nominated a state ticket, which is re-
ported elsewhere in this issue. The
populists even rise to the grade of rea-
son and decency in comparison with
this party. What is "the tie that
binds " these people? If it is honest
and rational devotion to the cause of a
real, practical, consistent temperance,
it is awfully belied by some of the
"party's " conspicuous promoters, such
as Secretary George L. Story, for ex.
ample, who is the commercial helper and
ally of the rum power of the state; and
that is the kind of helper and ally that is
more powerful and more desired than
talk. But, very likely, folly rather than
knavery controls, so that charity may
be fairly invoked in his behalf and that
of his co-workers.

PROFESSOR j. w. VoTEY of Burlin O.
ton, secretary of the Vermont High
way Commission, has issued circular
to the road commissioners of the towns
of Vermont, advising that these officers
confer together in their respective
counties, and arrange for future meet
ings in which the best methods of build
ing and keeping roads in order-a mat
ter in which there is wide divergence
of opinion-shall be intelligently and
fully discussed. Governor Fuller has
interested himself in this movement of
organizing county associations as one
worthy of the most earnest effort. AT
such meetings the most admirable
methods of work, the best machinery
for the purposes of the different com
munities, the most suitable material to
be used, and the times and conditions
most favorable for carrying on the
work, can all be discussed, and it is be.
lieved they will prove valuable aid in
the solution of the vexed question of
road building in Vermont.

Harriers and BeagIes.

The barrier is a small fox hound. II
is used to some extent in fox hunting
but principally in hunting the hare
If barriers are kept for hares it is
said to injure them to use them for
any other game. There are compare
lively few of them in America. A
still smaller hound is the beagle
twelve or fourteen inches high This
is the smallest of the hunting dogs
He used to be employed in chasing
hares in England, but in this he has
been almost entirely superseded by the
barrier.
In this country he is becoming quite
popular, as he is admirably adapted
for chasing the American rabbit. which
is not nearly so fleet as the English
hare. In general appearance the beagle
is like the fox-hound, though the ears
of the beagle are longer, and he has q
slight brush on his tail. His voice
lis particularly musical, and before the
fox-hound became SO fast, a few beagles
used to be kept with every pack, as
band of music is kept with a regi-
ment of soldiers. A boy living in the
country where rabbits abound would
get no end of sport out of one or two

A New Canal Era.

The successful opening of the ship
canal from the river Mersey to- Man
chester is an event of more than COM
mon interest. 1t is deeper and wider
than the famous canal at Suez, and
the work appears to- have been done
with characteristic British thorough
ness. 1t makes a. port of entry of a
city nearly forty miles from natural
navigation, and, for the whole distance,
had to be constructed. And yet its
purpose was purely local-to enhance
the commercial Importance of the city
of Manchester.
We seem to have entered on what an
engineer speaks of as an era of canal
building. We had one long ago, but
the canals were small, and the sudden
rise of the railway obscured them. They
are now revived on a scale correspond
ing with the changed conditions of
commerce, and it is notable that two
of the largest under construction, those
of Manchester and Chicago, are purely
local in reason, a fact which strongly
emphasizes the force of concentration
of interest.
1t seems strange, indeed, when such
works can be successfully carried out
by single cities that one of such vast
moment to the whole commercial world
as the Nicaragua canal should be
hampered by want of support.-New

RecIaimtnr I.and IN Nav.d,

Boring for water on the plain east of
Virginia City will be tried next spring,
and if a good flow Of water is obtained
other wells will be bored and a vast
tract of land Will be cultivated. The
Enterprise says that the soil is adapted
to the growth of cereals, fruits and vege-
tables is indicated by the vast growth
OF sagebrush in many places.
The water level on the plain is about
100 feet below the surface, and shafts
sunk at the mouth of Sixnile canyon
show a washed gravel strata at that
depth, and it is inferred that by boring
to a depth of 800 or 500 feet a good flow
of water can be obtained.
If the experiment is successful nearly
1oe square miles Of now unproductive
land can be cultivated. The plain is
about LOO feet nearer sea level than
at this altitude and snow rarely lies
there more than twenty-four hours
after heavy fall. With artesian wells
literally distributed at intervals, what
is now called the desert could be kept
as moist as a meadow and enough hay
raised to feed thousands Of cattle, while
the climate is so mild during the win
ter that no loss from exposure with
out shelter need be experimentation

Great Falls. Jan 2S.-The dead body
of man named Moriarity was found
last night near the Great Northern
track, few miles west of Benton. He
was lying on his back and beside his
cap, few feet distant, was a bottle
half full of whisky. The Anaconda
Standard reporter ascertained that Mo-
Rarity had been recently discharged
from the Benton hospital, where he has
been i'll for some weeks, and immedi-
ately started for this city on foot.
The day was bitterly cold, and it is
presumed that he became chilled and
lay down to rest, Moriarity has a
brother at Butte in the employ of the
Montana Central, and he has been tele-
graphed to for Instructions regarding
the body. The corpse was taken to
Benton today, and a coroner's jury
returned a verdict in accordance with
these facts.

Leadville, Colo. Jan. 2S.-The case
of w. c. Garvin. charged with appro-
priating funds from the Carbonate
National bank, came up before United
States Commissioner G. w. Phelps to-
day. United States District Attorney
Johnson. of Denver, was present The
information and complaint, made
against Garvin by A P. Lawrence, of
Denver, was that while employed as a
clerk in the Carbonate bank he en-
bezzled $500. Messrs. Pendery &
Hall, representing Gsrvin, waived a
preliminary examination and asked for
reasonable bond. Attorney johnson
asserted that he could bring from
nifty to one hundred charges against
Garvin, and asked for a bond of S.. 600
to insure his attendance at the next
sitting of the United States court.
After much legal wrangling the bond
was fixed at $4,000, and Garvin was
bound over to appear at the next sitting
Of court in Denver.
