John V McKane, the Grayesend poiti-
cal boss who has been on trial for several
weeks for interfering with election in
spectors in the discharge of their duty. was
found guilty by the jury Wednesday morn
ing. McKane not only prevented the Of
ficers from doing their duty, but caused
several of them to be severely assaulted
and locked up on trumped-up charge of
disturbing the peace McKane was also
charged with Withholding the Gravesend
registry roll. McKane paled little when
the verdict was announced, but otherwise
took it very coolly. An appeal will be
made to the general term. The punish
ment provided by law for McKane's Of
fence is not less than two years nor more
than ten.
Gen. Tracy, in presenting the case
against Mckane to the jury in his final
argument, showered upon the boss's head
a terrible denunciation of his political
methods. He concluded by reading from
the poll list of the last election the names
of the voters which appeared alphabetical
ly by twos, threes and fours, to show that
they were filled in frauduently, and said
that even the town records produced by the
defence were evidence of guilt Gen. Ira
cy said that not since the trial of Aaron
BUR- for treason, nearly 90 years ago, has
there been a trial upon the result of which
so much affecting the welfare of the coun-
try depends.

On Tuesday eX-President Harrison made
an address in indianapolis at the annual
convention of the Indiana Lincoln league
of Republican clubs, saying in his cpl
grammatic way that he was not one of
those who hold that an eX-president should
be a political deaf mute. At the conven-
tion of Ohio Republican clubs held at Co.
lumbus the same day GOV. Mckinley was
nominated for President of the United
States, as an expression of the home senti-
ment of his state.

The Republican senators Aroused.

The Republican senators Aroused.
The determination of the Democatic SEN
ators, composing the Senate finance sub
committee, to settle all cOntroverted ques-
tions relating to increasing or reducing the
rates of duty on all articles, among them
selves so that when the bill is finished and
ready to submit to the full committee, no
changes or notifications are to be allowed,
has aroused great Indignation not only
among the Republican members of the
committee, but among the Republicans
generally in the Senate. The refusal of
the Democratic members of the committee
to allow any hearings whatever, and their
course in arranging the bill to be sub
mitted to the Senate, has had the effect of
uniting the Republicans in that body con-
cernng the course which they will pursue
when the bill comes up for consideration,
and it now seems probable that the bill
will be stoutly contested when it comes
from the committee instead of being simply
allowed to take its course by the action of
Democratic majority. An effort is being
madeI by leading Democrats, John f. Rus
sell among them, to have a duty of 80 cents
a ton put on coal, and the Louisiana sena-
tors threaten to bolt unless the sugar grow
ers are given some degree of protection.

The Massachusetts, railroad commits
sioners have made report, covering the
electric street railways of that state, in
which they say it is too early yet to draw
exact and final conclusions with regard to
the financial economy of electric power as
compared with horse power in street rail
way operation. They suggest, as the man
ifestly safe policy for the electric com
panies, that charges upon income be kept
within the narrowest limits, and that a
substantial portion of the earnings be set
apart yearly for future contingencies and
and burdens of expense whose weight is
now only partially felt or known. The
sudden and apparently abnormal develop
ment of the electric railway system as a
means of suburban locomotion gives no
adequate basis on which to figure future
contingencies.

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1894.

The tone of the English radical press
and orators is exceedingly bitter at this
time against the House of Lords. Several
liberal journals are insisting upon an active
campaign for the overthrow of the heredi-
tary feature of the upper house, which the
liberals regard as a menace to popular
legislation. The action of the Lords in
killing Mr.. Gladstone's home rule bill by
brute force of numbers was too much for
human nature to endure in quietude.

Hon. VIM. L. Wilson of West Virginia,
chairman of the ways and means commit
tee of the House, and the author of the
tariff bill which bears his name, has been
seriously ill with tonsiltis at Kansas City,
but is improving and will start for Mexico,
accompanied by his wife. He is a man of
slight build and nervous temperament, and
the work of preparing the tariff bill and
carrying it through the House has been
very severe strain upon his endurance.

4 Clean Sweep i'm city and Township
Elections in New York state.

Clean sweep in city and Township
Elections In New York State.
City and township elections were held
Tuesday in many of the counties of New
York to choose aldermen and elect super
yisors. The Republicans made clean
sweep. The boards of supervisors chosen
will serve a. the polls next November,
when governor Of New York is to be
elected These boards will be Republican
this year by unprecedented majorities.
In some election distr is of the state
not single straight Democratic vote was
cast. Every ballot polled was Republican,
The workingmen seem to have been as
active in electioneering in the country as
they were in the 14th district of New York
city fortnight ago, when for the first time
in years a Republican was elected to Con-
gress.
The Tribune says of the result of these
elections: "In spite of bad weather and
drifted roads, Republican gains are almost
uniformly reported, the Republican candi-
dates winning in some places where their
opponents had been successful for years
These results are not surprising. They
show that the effects of the political up
heaval last year are still powerfully felt.
and they make the prospect of a Republican
victory in the state next fall exceedingly
bright"

The Goth birthday of Neal Dow, the
Maine apostle of prohibition, will oc-
cur March 20, and his friends are intend
ing to celebrate it with special ceremonies.
Not only will it be celebrated at his home
in Portland, but meetings in honor of the
father of the "MaiEc law will doubtless
be held in many other places by advocates
of prohibition and total abstinence. Mr.
DOw's first interest in the temperance
movement was in connection with the
Maine temperance union, which in 1887
urged upon the legislature the abrogation
of all license laws. In 1889 he appeared
as a public advocate of prohibition, advo-
eating before the aldermen of Portland the
reference of the question of license or no
license to a vote of the citizens. Since
then Gen. Dow has been actively interest
ed in temperance work. He served in the
war and was twice wounded; he was cap
tured by the rebels and in 1864 was eX-
changed for Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. In 1880
Gen. Dow was the Prohibition candidate
for President, and received 1896 votes.

road commissioner, Geo. w. Hooker, in
forms the board of auditors that stone to
the amount of about $500 have been de-
livered at the crusher, the same to be paid
for when used, out of next years highway
tax; and that there are unpaid bills for la
Dor, ETC., amounting 20 about $1,000, which
was about the amount outstanding the
year preceding"
The selectmen estimate the expenses of
1894 at S30,5lL32, of which S21 ,976,21
must be raised by taxation. To raise this
will requirea tax of As cents on dollar of
the grand list. Last years tax was 80
cents. 1t is is not very good year to in
crease the rate of taxation, if it can be
avoided and not run in debt by the means.

Miss Hersilie Guerinere left
Thursday for Lafayette where she
will spend some time among her
friends and relatives.
Monday last we noticed q
drummer representing a New Or
leans house who arrived here at
six o'clock in the morning from
New Iberia with a double team,
and instead of doing like any hu-
name person would do, put his
horses at the stable to be fed
he left the poor animals all
day in the sun without food or
water or even taking the harness,
from their backs, until z o'clock
| in the evenieg when he returned
to New Iberia. Our merchants
should take such little matters in
consideration before dealing these
travellers; it would have been hu.
name, if not wise for them not to
deal with such drummer as We
mention, for if he had no bust
ness here he would have returned
earlier and his horses would mo-
have suffered as much as they
did, and they might have been ,
little better off financially. for ,

point of not feeding his animal
when travelling, is too close t

Religious intolerance.

Last week we publish an article
giving the severe, and even revolt
ting sentence imposed upon a citi-
zen of Tennessee for having work
ed on Sunday.
Our reflections at first were 10
it possible that such intolerance
should exist in southern stafe,
and particularly in Tennessee,
and that the laws of that state
should be such as to maintain
such an unjust and debasing sem
tence.
But think of our surprise when
we read the following special
which is sent the Times Demo-
srat from Alexandria, dated July
29th.
There is being organized In Grant and
VIM parishes society called the "Ju-
nior Organization" 1t IL recruiting
members from the Farmers Alliance
and POpulist party. The main features
are anti Democratic and ti.Catholic

tive Hardy Bryan. seem to be the Iced
ing spirits in it. They will not allow
the numerous mills out there to hirt

families In Louisiana. and who. he's haf
a good position at Pollock. He passet

tive from Grant parish. says they Or
fully organized. He could not tell whe
ther 1t was branch of the A. P. A. So
ciety or not. as he did not know thei
secrets. having refused to join It.
This time it is at home, right q
our doors. A crusade is organic
ed against the Catholics of Gran
and VIM parishes and those o
the citizens who profess that reli
gion are refused work and com
PEELED to leave. Such intoleranc
is more than We can bear, and
such is really the true state OF al
fair in those parishes, the Catho
lies should take the same step
and retaliate against such stupi
cranks.
The Catholics are in a positio
to maintain their dignity and RI
sist such foolish persecution q
practiced in Grant and VIM pal
ishes.
The Catholic religion il th
third largest in the world, tn
largest in Canada, our nearei
neighbor, and the largest by thre
times, of any other religion in Ii

has crushing majority over Ii
