CURRENT COMMENT.

ANY individual who has attempted to
follow closely the changing phases of
tariff revision in congress and yet pre-
served "sOund and dispOsing mind
after the ordeal of the past two weeks,
is entitled TO receive the congratulations
of his friends Boston Transcript.
The chances are about as 80 to | that
Mr. Cleveland will allow the tariff bill
to become law. If he accepts the 80
chances, tariff reform" as represented
by him, its chief editorial writer. will
be knocked down and dragged out. If
he vetoes it, it will place him in a
stronger position personally than he
has ever occupied since he came into
public life.-[ Boston Record.
Mr.. S. o. Lee, whose initials cores

ing that although the month of July,
lS9f, was unusually hot, there is a record
of Il hotter July, that Of 1925. Speaking
with special reference to its political as
pect, we should say that some sO-called
Democratic congressman will probably
find Nov. 6. 1894. between the hours of

The endorsement of President Cleve-
land by the Democrats in convention in
Windham county was evidently too
great an effort. They neglected to file
the required certificate of nomination
until it was too late to get the names of
their candidates printed on the official
ballots. 1t is pertinent to note IN this
connection that the Windham county
Democrats take great pride in the fact
that one of their number, theslatc \. O.

IAN emphatic expression of opinion by its

'publicans all over the land. Little has
been done to arouse voters, and if they
get un6 er motion it will have to be of
! heir own volition. \ special effort should
be made in every school district to interest
voters and induce them to 60 to the polls.
n almost every town of this county we
are glad to know that a lively campaign
OF town representative is in progress.
These fights will tend strongly to call
but voters, but some one should see to it
II each town that the State ticket is vot-
.d. Otherwise voters will in many cases
orget that part of their duty.

first constitution of the State was adopt

fore the close of the year. The Sheldon

signed by Geo. Clinton, with the State

the senate beng passed by vote of lS2
to l05. Four other bills, placing coal,
iron, sugar and barbed wire on the free
list, were also passed. The senate has not
yet acted upon these measures, which
are now before it. Speculation is rife in
Washington as to President Cleveland's
probable action on the tariff bill, which
needs only his sanction to make it law.
1t will be law ten days after its pass
age by the house, If he does not veto it
In the meantime. The belief is quite
general that the president will not sign

strenously to the contamination of the
river by sewage above the falls, fearing
that the quality Of the water supply will
be unfavorably affected thereby. The
sewer committee have accordingly de-
cded to call this meeting and give the
voters chance to say what they will
have done. 1t will probably cost some-
what more to empty the sewage below
the falls, but it may prove in the end the
more economical plan. Exactly what
scheme will be presented to the meeting
cannot now be stated, as it has not been
completed. An engineer is at work
on a survey and the results of his find

The State and county ticket to be used
this year under the provisions of the
modified Australian ballot law is some
thing terrific. 1t measures a trifie over
a foot one way by foot and half the
other. The voter will know that he has
voted after he has cast one of these
things. The town representative and
Justices tickets will be separate from the
combined State and county ticket,
making three tickets in all to be voted
by those who go the whole figure.
