North Adams Hotel Keeper Wound

Foster E. Swift, proprietor of the Will
s)n House, North Adams, one of the
best known men in New England, was
shot through the hand Saturday after
noon at l. 10 o'clock by John D. Holman
of Rochester, who represents the East
man Kodak Company. Holman came to
the hotel the previous night and since
that time had been drinking. In the
morning he went to the dinner table and
was very abusive, using profane and in
sulting language in the presence of la
dies Mr.. Swift sent his clerk with or
ders to tell the man to leave the house.
Holman became angered. He followed
Bond to the office where he demanded
his bill. At the same time he used very
profane language. Mr.. Bond stepped
from behind the counter and told him he
would have to desist from using such
language in the house or he would be
compelled to put him out of the hotel
Holman then pulled out his revolver and
aimed it at Bond as if to shoot him.
Fred Carter, who was standing near,
seized his arm and turned it aside Mr..
Swift saw by Holman's eye that he was
very angry and just as Holman pulled
the trigger again Swift lodged. The
bullet entered the palm of his hand and
came out at the back between the second
and third fingers. 1t struck another
man i'll the office, Colonel A. f. Tinker,
entering his coat and vest AS Mr.. Swift
is well advanced in years, the wound
may res ult seriously.

"coIoneI" Webb as CubernatoriaI
Possibility.

A correspondent writes from Brattle-
boro to the Springfield Republican that
DIR. w. Seward Webb has the promise
that he shall be governor of Vermont
and that his friends in and around Bur
lington have already begun quiet cam
paign in his interest. According to GUS
tom some one on the east side of the
mountains must be nominated next year,
but the chances for Webb IN 1898 are
said to be good. All this is hardly in
the nature of surprise. 1t has been
quite generally understood among those
who keep informed on such matters,
that the doctor was after something in
the way of political honors. 1t has been
rumored that his ambition was squirting
toward a seat in one of the houses of
Congress, and it does not follow that
that idea has has been abandoned be-
cause of the gubernatorial boom. In
deed, that might lend strength to his
Congressional prospects. 1t will not be
easy for the governor to secure the GU

the position are thick as partridges all
over Vermont and the doctor and his
friends will have to hustle to get the per-
simmons. AS regards qualifications we
are disposed to believe that he might
make an ideal governor. He is wealthy
enough to trot around the country with
his staff and lend the glitter of gold lace
and official position to many a public
function; he is accustomed to polite So
ciety and will not humilate his friends
on such occations by drinking from the
finger bowls, eating pie with his knife or
using his napkin for handkerchief; he
has set the pace for members of the
governors staff and with him as COVER
nor that ornamental and gorgeous body
of tin soldiers may be expected TO be-
come more resplendent than ever with
gold lace and bras buttons and all the
other trimmings they can make stick
he is familiar with military affairs and
can review the troops without falling off
his horse. So far as known to the pub
lie he has no opinions on any public
questions, which is an added advantage.

ut is a coincidence worthy of note"
says the Burlington Free Press, that
Gen. J. G. Mccullough of Bennington is
the receiver of the great Erie railroad,

New Industries for Hooslok Falls

The new industry fol the manufac-
ture of mems clothing at Hoosick Falls
is assured, and it is expected will de-
velope into business requiring 200 or
300 operatives. The manufacturers are
New York parties of large means, and
say they will furnish all the material
necessary to utilize all the help which
can be secured.
The village is receiving boom in its
industrial features. With assurances of
the speedy location of an industry for
the manufacture of mems clothiug, ar
rangements were made this morning for
another knitting mill. The building of
County Clerk Frank Riley, 45x40 feet
and three stories high. used by him as a
carriage repository. has been secured
for the manufacture of ladies' ribbed
underwear. Work will be commenced
tomorrow morning on the building to
prepare it for the new industry. Addi-
tiOnal windows will be put in, also a
boiler and an apparatus for heating the
building by steam. Robert Clark of
HoOsick Falls and Charles Reib of Troy
will be the proprietOrs of the new mill.
Efforts will be made to have the new
mill in operation next month, starting
with thirty to forty operatives, to be in
creased as business demands. The pro-
duct of the mill at first will be about
fifty dozens day. The factory build
ing is near the tracks of the Fitchburg
railroad and along the bank of the
Hoosck river, thus affording an eX-
cellent supply of water.-Troy Times,

Good Roads,

Colonel Albert A. Pope, who has done
such grand work for the National good
roads cause, writes:
at would be good thing if the Gov
ernment would extend the good road
work in the Department of Agriculture
and build the great National highways.
Then, if the states would follow the eX-
ample of New Jersey and Massachusetts
and build State roads, leaving to towns
and cities the streets, we would, in the
course of time, develop a system of high
ways not excelled by any in the world.
1t has got to come. Perhaps we may not
see it, though l hope to. Horses have
seen their hest days. Electricity and
bicycles have partially done away with
their use, and before this century expires
practical motor carriages will be in use.
Then the demand will be for still better
roads and good roads in all directions,
and the poor old horse will be relegated
to the country, where he belongs"

Nermont Politics.

At the Legislative Reunion, the make
up of Vermoht's delegation to the Ma
tional Republican convention was dis
cussed, and on the part of those who ex-
pressed themselves in this connection
there was a distinct and pronounced de-
sire that Senator Redfield Proctor should
be made chairman of the delegation, a
position which he filled with such con-
spicuous ability and credit to the State
IN 1888. Other names prominently men,
toned in connection with the delegation
to the National convention were those of
Gov. Woodbury., Col. E. c. Smith of st.
Albans, Speaker W. w. Stickney of Lud-
low, j. B. Scully of Burlington, Hon. O.
NJ. Barber Of Arlington, Gen. j. j. Estey
of Brattleboro. There was also a dis
tinct expression of opinion to the effect
that the younger element of the party in
Vermont should be given a good repre-
sentation on the delegation, the honor
to be conferred upon deserving young
Republicans who have as yet received
little or no recognition.
The Republican nomination for gov
ernor received considerable attention,
the reunion proceedings tending to de-
velop a lively interest in this subject.
So far as preference was expressed, Ma
jor Josiah Grout of Derby. was in the
lead, but Speaker Stickney was also
prominently mentioned, while ex-Lieut.-

The whole valley from Salem, N. Y,
to Fair Haven, never before was so in
tensely interested in any musical and lit
erary event as over the Welsh EisteddfOd
held in Village hall, poultney, Oct 9Th.
1t is not the Welsh people alone that are
interested, but Americans as we'll, as
half of the three mixed choirs are Amer
leans. One interesting feature is origi-
nal composition on different subjects
given some months previously by the
Eisteddfod committee. In this respect
the committee has been successful, as
there are 100 original compositions in
the hands of the adjudicators, the largest
list of competitors ever known in the
valley.

Politics have caused trouble in the Sec
ond Congregational church in Hartford,
this State. 1t has been discovered that
the pastor voted for Cleveland at the last
election and the results of this discov-
cry illustrate the intolerance of politi-
cal independence that prevails in some
intelligent communities. The church
advertised year ago for pastor who
was a Republican, and the Rev. H. W.
Boyd applied for the place and was ac-
cepted. Itwas subsequently ascertained
that while calling himself Republican
and generally voting that ticket, the Rev.
Mr.. Boyd had followed the example Of
many other Republicans three years ago
and voted for the Cleveland electors.
While not a Democrat, he has upon oc-
1asion so far lapsed from the Republican
filth as to bolt the straight ticket. In
other words, he has been of the species
called "Mugwump." and has had free
trade convictions not always prudently
concealed. 1t seems that the three chief
supporters of the church, two brothers
and a son-in-law, form manufacturing
firm; and while the times have affected
them less disastrously than most, they
have not been without losses and curtail-
ment in the years just past. Hence
their sensitiveness, and hence the pres
ent outcome. About one-third of the
income of the church has been derived
from their donations. They have with
drawn their support on the ground that
they will not aid in the support of a
Democrat. They declare that lie must
go, and good sized church fight iG on.
For the minister there is a general sym
pathy. The victim of such bigotry and
hidebOund prejudice must be a mighty
small man to equal in smallness his per-
secutors. The memory OF the fact that
lie voted for Cleveland should be suffi
cient punishment for the mini ster.

One of the simplest steps towards the
stopping of these $5O,O00,OOO a year
Treasury deficits would be law restor-
ing to its old schedule the tariff on wool
en- goods. Such law would add up
ward of $4,000, 900 year to the revenue; !;
1t would prevent the utter extinction of
sheep farming; it would check wooden
manufacturers in their compulsory jour
ney to bankruptcy; and it would provide
steady work for tens of thousands of
wage earners whose mode of existence
has recently been both precarious and
uncertain. The first step of the next
Congress should be in this direction.
From the effects of the German Wilson
tariff the woolen industry has been one
of the severest sufferers. From healthy
and prosperous condition under McKin-
leyism, the rapid decline took place i'm
mediately upon the success of De-
mocracy in 1892. The causes of the sub
sequent condition of the trade are, too
apparent to be misunderstood by the
blindest cuckoo. Imports of wooden and
worsted yarns have Increased with

John w. Titcomb of st. Johnsbury,
formerly of Rutland, and Charles G.
Warren of Waterbury, fish com mission
ers of the State have been indicted un-
der the prohibitory law by the Washing
ton County grand jury, and have ap
peared in court and furnished bail. The
indictment grows out of the visit of the
legislative committee to the State fish
hatchery at Roxbury, October oath, 1894.
The visitors had liquor to drink and the
affair made tremendous uproar. Both
men resigned Office at the time. Mr..
TitcOmbs resignation has not yet been
accepted. States Attorney Stanton of
Roxbury, appears as the prosecuting
officer. The indictment is for illegally
furnishing liquor, and Stanton SAID that
he had evidence tending to show four
offenses in each case. This prosecution
is strongly denounced by the high Ii
cense press of the State, yet it seems to
be in accordance with the law. Still, un-
der the circumstances, the offense was
insignificant in comparison with the
flagrant violations of the prohibitory
laws that are going on every day in the
week, Sundays included, in Washington
and every other county in the State. 1t
seems decidedly wrong that such an Of
fense should meet with prosecution,
while the greater offenses against the
same law are scarcely ever molested, and
still less often severely punished. We
believe in the strict enforcement of the
prohibitory law as long as it IS the law,
but we believe that the rdlcule brought
upon it by the prosecution of slight Of
fenses while the persistent vi violatOrs pro-
ceed unmolested is serious injury to
the cause of temperance. This case
seems to be simply one of persecution.
The legislative committee was accom-
panied by number of other legislators.
If any illicit fluids were served them
there, it was purely as matter of hos
pitality. There was no drunkenness, 40
debauchery, nothing to shock decent,
sober and order loving community. If
anything int xicating was served there,
it was surely placed with the other re-
freshments that those who cared to PAL
take might do so. 1t was the same kind
of hospitality that man might extend
to visitors at his house. Then, some of
these guests, after accepting the gener-
Gus hospitality of their entertainers,
turn upon them and subject them to
prosecution as common criminals. The
whole proceedings are disgusting.
Treachery, ingratitude and cowardice
are displayed. For, it is certainly cow
ardice to select the victims in this man
ner while so many out and out rumsel-
lers are unharmed. Had these legisla-
tors desired to perform some service
towards upholding the prohibitory laws,
the manly course for them would have
been to have attempted to secure the
conviction of the common criminals,
guilty of selling freely to everybody and
everything; then, to have secured the
conviction of the lesser violators.

alarming Iapidity. The increase of 1895
over 1891 is 279 per centum; over 1892,
253 per centum; over 1893, 256 per cen
tum; over 1894, Sl4 per centum. These
heavy impoI tations have almost crushed
the home industry. In the face of these
conditions, would the President veto a
bill to protect the wooden trade? With
all his bullheaded aversion to acknowl-
edging an error, it hardly seems posi-
BILE that he would inflict veto upon
measure that common sense so loudly
demands. 1t is undoubtedly true that
big mass of the Northern Democrats, to
say nothing of the unanimous wishes of
the entire Republican party, desire ares
toration of protective duties upon wool
and wOolen goods, and upon other goods
of American manufacture and growth,
that they may be relieved from the evil
of competition with pauper European
labor. Not one of the promised benefits
of tariff reform have materialized. 1t
has been grand, dismal failure. But
the President will probably in the flu
ture, as in the past, be controlled by the
Southern wing of the Democratic party,
and the rest and the big majority of
American mankind will probably con-
tinue its unequal struggles against the
foreign onslaughts against its industrial
interests until relieved by the Republi-
can party in 1897.
