Organization for Good Roads

Some time ago it was announced that
the highway commissioners of the several
towns in Franklin county had organized
themselves into county society to study
the subject of good roads and the best
methods of making them. This idea was
favorably commented on, and Gov. Fuller
gave it his endorsement in letter, ad-
dressed to j. w. NOtey, secretary of the
state board of highway commissioners,
and urging such organization by the high
way commissioners of every county in the
state. Mr.. Votey has had this letter
printed in circular form and has sent it to
the highway commissioners throughout the
state, with an accompanying circular letter
urging the commissioners to confer togeth-
er and arrange for an early meeting for or
ganzation. We shall be glad to learn of a
movement in this direction by our Wind
ham county commissioners, and to give il
any aid possible.

DIR. CONLAND SAYS Nay.
Like CwsNr of Old He Puts Aside tn
Pronered Crown.


That DIR. James Conand has only to
say the word to receive the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination is generally con-
ceded. The Phoenix made this announce
ment after a majority of the members of
the Democratic state committee had de-
clared in his favor, a few weeks ago, and
also added that DR.. Conland would posi-
lively decline to be a candidate.
A Boston Globe representative has now
interviewed DIR. Conland and quotes him
as saying as follows;
II do not quite understand why my
name was propounded as possible candi-
date for the nomination for governor of
this state.
81 have attended few conventions, and
once, to the surprise of myself and all in
terested, was elected town representative.
But it had not occurred to me that such in
cidents were worthy of note, or likely to
place me in the category of available ma
terial for state ticket.
Frankly, and for a variety of reasons,
any one of which is final, could not ac-
cept the nomination were it rendered me.
This conclusion does not in any of its
features imply lack of appreciation of the
compliment intimated and is entirely de-
void of purely political considerations.
The Globe says that "there is no doubt
that this announcement will be a disap-
pointment to many ardent friends of DIR.
! COnland, who were preparing to prosecute
a vigorous campaign in his behalf" and
intimAtes that strong pressure will be used
to influence him 10 reconsider his determin-
ination.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL,
TUBERCULOSIS.

A COW belonging to James F. Howard,
which was killed on Wednesday, proved to
be in very advanced stage of tuberculosis
Mr.. Howard's farm is at the first house this
side of the No. schoOlhouse on the old
Newfane road. The COW had been ailing
for some time and about three weeks ago
Mr.. Howard applied to the state board of
agriculture, who are the state cattle COM
missioners, to have an investigation made
but Dr. Rich, the veterinarian of the state
experiment station, had not been able to
reach the case. The COW grew very weak
and Wednesday she was killed in the pres
ence of DIR. Rathbone and Mr.. Pierce, the
Retreat farmer. When the carcass was
opened, the revelation would have con-
vinced any farmer, who is skeptcal about
the danger that exists from tuberculosis
The lungs were a mass of tuberCles, a
portion of their tissue had broken down,
the tubercles adhered to the ribs and the
glands of the throat, and all other parts
of the bo ly which were examined, were
badly affected. The carcass was buried
deeply as soon as the investigation was fin
ished. The COW was a grade Jersey, IA
years old. She had been kept to this age
because Of her superior excellence as a milk
producer. The other animals of Mr.. How
ards herd of cows and hefers are appar-
emily in perfect health. This incident con-
firms the belief which is entertained by
many of our best stock growers, that the
danger from tuberculosis is one which can
not be overlooked and which exists locally
as it does in so many other places in the
country. There is no doubt that the legis-
lature should provide, as measure of pub
lie safety at the next session, for regular
and systematic examination of all herds.
DR.. Rich came to Brattleboro yesterday,
and inoculated the whole of Mr. Howard 5
herd. The result of the test will be
wat ched with interest

Senator Proctor on our Trade Relations
with Can ada.

with Can ada.
Senator Proctor spoke against the tariff
bill at Tuesdays session of the Senate, ad-
dressing himself particularly to its effect
upon trade relations with the rest of the
American hemisphere, and its bearing upon
the Canadian question. He said that the
products of the Spanish-American repub-
lies are unlike ours, and liberal trade rela-
tions with those countries would help our
producers and strengthen the ties of friend
ship between the different parts of indie
pendent America. Canadas products,
however are the same as our own. Reci-
procity with the Spanish-American repub-
lies was possible, but with Canada impos-
sible.
Politically, Canada, if not menace, was
at least nuisance to the United States
There was no reason, political or CONNER
cial, why she should be especially favored
in our tariff legislation and it could not be
done except to the detriment of our home
products. This bill proposed, however, to
discriminate against our sister republics,
which so especially deserved our consider
alton, and in favor of a British colony'
which deserved it so little We could get
along all right with Canada as an indepen-
dent power; but as a British dependency
she was and would be perpetual cause of
irritation and possible serious trouble.
Mr.. Proctor intimated that Canada must
in time become independent or a part of
the American Union, and referred to the
preparations which Great Britain is max
ing on this continent against the contin-
gency of war, which, if it ever came,
would end British jurisdiction on this con-
tinent forever. He did not believe in dis

DEATH OF ]. M. BUzzEL.

Azor Marshall, an old-time personal
friend, received a telegram Wednesday an
nouncing the death of j. NJ. Buzzel, well
remembered as for many years an active
citizen of Brattleboro. 1t appears that Mr..
Buzze dropped dead while crossing the
freight yard of the Consolidated railroad on
his way by short cut to the union depot in
Providence, r. |. Death resulted from apo
pleXy. Mr.. Buzzel's home was in WOrces-
ter, to which city he removed from Brattle-
boro. He was a native of Tunbridge, this
state, from which place he came to Brattle-
boro upward of thirty years ago, engaging
in his trade as a carpenter and builder.
His first work was for Mr.. Bullard upon
the Congregational church. In course of
time he built several of the better class of
dwellings in the village, among them the
house of H. A. Pratt and that now owned
by Judge Shea He also did work in Bel
lows Falls. He had the contract for the
carpenter work for the Baptist church. An
important piece of work was the erection
about 1870, of the large block in Keene,
y. H., owned by the old savings bank and
Timothy Colony. In 1871 he built the
Brooks House Soon after he built the
Dearborn house on North Main street and
occupied it until his removal to Worcester,
where he went to superintend the erection
of the new state asylum in that city. He
built the Mt. Iermon school building and
several of the Mortified seminary build
ings Beside his wife, Mr.. Buzzel leaves
two daughters and a son. At the time of
his death he was engaged in the erection of
a residence for his son-in-law, Mr., Shaw of
Providence. He was man of the most
sterling qualities, who knew only one way
to perform any piece of work and that was
the right way. He had an attractive per-
sonalty and his death is sincerely regretted

The four men from each company who will
go to Fort Ethan Allen will be chosen at

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1894.

Mention was made last week of the fact
that the Democratic spoilsmen of the
House had voted to kill the civil service
commission by striking out the appropria-
ton for its support. When the matter
came up on a yea and nay vote the maiori-
ty of them did not care to put themselves
on record and so the appropriation went
back into the bill, 1913 to so.

eliminating against Canada in our tariff
legislation to force her to some desired re-
suit. He believed, however, that our rela-
tions with her require us not to legislate in
her interest and against ourselves. This
bill, besides its gifts to Canada favored
British interests in many other ways at the
expense of our own people, and would do
more than anything else which has oc-
Cured within the present generation to
perpetuate British power on this continent.

ARKANSAS RIVER.

Congressman Terry, of Little
Rock, and Breckenridge, of Pine
Bluff, were both before the House
committee on rivers and harbors at
Washington, D, c. yesterday, ask
ing an appropriation for Arkansas
river. Representative Breckin-
ridge stated to the committee that
five million people are directly or in
directly interested in the. improve
ment of the river and that the COM
mittee appropriate sufficient sum
in order that existing projects may
be completed.
Col Terry cited the committee to
the vast coal beds and other pro-
ducts which were dependent upon
the river for transportation to the
markets, and stated that the river
was the only means which the peo-
pie had to compel the railroads to
reduce their rates. In the course
of his remarks he presented mem
orials from the Boards of Trade of
New Orleans, Memphis and Little
Rock, asking that Congress deal
fairly with the river, Chairman
Blanchard stated that the commit
tee would likely allow about the
same appropriation for this year as
was allowed last. and in view of the
condition of the Treasury it would
be impossible to do more,
1t is to be hoped that the commit
tee will not be permitted to over
look the equally pressing, though
perhaps not so important, needs of
Red and Sulphur rivers, in their
appropriations for those Of Nothern
and Central Arkansas.
