A movement is on foot to erect a
suitable monument in Williston to
Gov. Thomas Chittenden, Vermont's
first governor. Gov. Chittenden was
the first Of a long line of illustrious
governors and it is eminently fitting
that his final resting place should be
NAKED by suitable monument. A
bill for this purpose is likely to be
introduced into the legislature and
should receive the support of all.

The CITY of Portland. Or, is 5,

The city of Portland, Or, is SO
heavily in debt that special tax has
been voted in the form of licenses
from everybody in business. A
special schedule has been prepared,
but the whole schemeis meeting with
much opposition. While the city suf-
ters so financially, it does not ap-
pear that the churches are growing
poor. The First Baptist church has
recently completed house of wor-
ship costing SITS, 900, and the Con-
gregationalists are putting 100000
into a new church.

Afraid of Expenditures.

A word in regard to appropria-
tions and state expenses should be
In order, but will avail little There
will be disposition in many quar-
tiers to get large or larger appropria-
tions for this and that, and those
whose business it is TO lobby will
make their influence felt, though the
Inexperienced member may not real
ize it. 1t will be here a little and
there little, until the aggregate is
large. If the legislator would set his
face pretty hard against everything
that has the S mark before it he
would come nearer to doing his duty
than otherwise. The condition Of
affairs is such that economy, careful
and rigid, ought to be exercised. 1t
is no time for large expenditures.
Some of the sources of income for the
state treasury will diminish during
the next two years and the times will
demand economy. The state tax is
too large now, and 1t ought to be
cut down. If the legislature will do
little, do that quickly and economic
ally, it will win the favor of the peo-
pie Barton Monitor.

As SEEN IN THE SANCTUM.

There ought not to be any opposi-
ton to the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Clark in regard to the
purifca ton of the water at Stiles
pond. This is St. Johnsbury's main
source of potable water and should
be kept as pure as possible With
the help of a little more legislation
the corporation can keep this water
pure.
People who drive in the dark can
not be too careful about keeping on
their own side of the road. An acct
dent occurred at the foot OF Hastings
hill one dark night last week which
would never have occurred if each
team had been on their own side of
the road. Mr.. Nolan, who lives near
there, says this is the fourth ccident
that has occurred on this spot since
last May. 1t SO happens that the
spot IS mid way between two electric
lights and people coming in the OPP
oosite directions cannot see each
other.
The destruction of our observatory
north of the village Sunday removes
one of the most attractive spots in
town. In fine weather there was
hardly a day that some sight-seeer
did not visit the place to enjoy the

if our Board of Trade should take
hold of the matter and erect a new
observatory that would be a credit
and ornament to the town.

THE WAR IN PERU.
DepiOrable Condition Of the Govern.
ent ana the PeOple-Rebeis
Calming Ground.

New York, Dec. 13.-Advices from Peru
are to the effect that Gen. Pierola, who is
in arms against the Peruvian government,
is gaining accessions. The general senti-
ment of the people appears to be in his
favor. He has control Of several of the
principal ports and is very strong in the
interior of the country. He has a we'll
equipped army and is close to Lima.
On November % the government fitted
out an armored train with a Gattling gun
battery to carry 1000 soldiers along the
Oroya railroad to drive off the revolu-
tionists. AS the train approached the
camp of the revolutienists 1,500 govern
ment troops deserted with their arms and
ammunition and joined the rebels.
The condition of the government
troops is deplorable, owing to bad food
and ill treatment, and they have not re-
ceiyed pay for several months. Great
distress and suffering also prevail at Lima
and Colloa, owing to high prices and scar
city of provisions. People able to do so
have provided themselves with sufficient
food in anticipation of thirty days
siege. In Colloa the marines on one of
the government hulks mutinied. To pre-
vent insubordlnation spreading, all
hands were placed under arrest and the
hulk anchored between two government
ships and all shipping in the harbor was
notified to withdraw from the line Of fire.
The mail steamers of the Chliap and
Pacific steam navigation companies are
subjected to search and inspection by
each party and are doing practically no
business in Peru.

BRAND THE CLAIM AS FALSE.
Worlds Fair Officials Expose II Pre-
tender to an Award.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 13.-Ons of the odd
results of the Worlds Fair is the claim
now made to awards by some who were
not even exhibitors. Officials of the Ex-
position have not as yet taken final ac-
tion in the matter, believing the quick
wit of the people will detect the spurious
claims. But to the case of New York
baking powder, that has been widely ad-
vertising an award, the attention of the
Chief of Awards for Agriculture, has been
directed. He brands the claim of this
pretender as false, declaring "Neither the
records of this department, nor the Off
cial catalogue of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, show that this New York
Company was an exhibitor; consequently
it could not receive an award at the
Worlds Fair"
Those who fairly won their henors at
the Fair seem disposed to treat this fraud
as any other fraud should be treated. The
Price Baking Powder Company, of Chi
cago, having received the highest award,
say they are convinced their claims, and
those of all other holders of rightful hon
ors, will be fully indicated by the public.

pressed their intention of becoming

adopted that this resolution be referred
to the incoming executive council with
instruction to secure legal advice regard
ing the constitutionality of such law il
passed.
