Speaking of the proposed "Gov. Chit
tenden Monument" correspondent
says: "The people of Vermont are like
ly to be treated to such another specta-
Gle of the results of legislative niggardli
ness as brought so much ridicule upon
them during the Worlds Fair. 1t will
be recalled that in order that Vermont
could make any showing whatever
among the State exhibits at Chicago, it
was necessary that the parslmony of the
General Assembly be supplemented by
public subscription, and papers were
circulated for this purpose. This time it
is the erection of the proposed monu-
ment to Thomas Chittenden, first gov
ernor of Vermont, which cannot proceed
without some aid other than that vouch-
safed by the lawmakers. The General
Assembly last fall appropriated $4,000
for the monument, subject to two con-
ditions; the purchase of suitable lot in
Wllliston, near Chittenden's grave, and
the payment of $500 to the commission
ers who superintend the erection, the
interest of which is to be used for the
care of the monument. Henry Root, a
native of Williston, now residing in Cal
ifornia, has given the lot, but the $500,
and, if possible, another $500 for fencing
The lot, have yet to be raised. 1t is open
to consideration as to just how imposing
monument can be obtained for $4,000
in the first place, but the discreditable
feature of it is that the descendants of
the first governor, rather than have the
scheme fall through by reason of the

The death OF Col. Silas NJ. Waite was

The death of Col. Silas NJ. Waite was
announced in Brattleboro yesterday.
Col Waite died at his home in Omaha,
Nebraska, and will be remembered as
the president of the ruined First Nation
al bank of Brattleboro. He was in the
employ of the Omaha and Grant Smelt-
ing Company, and only returned from
New York on Friday, when he was
stricken with apoplexy. He was born in
Newfane in 1925.

The st. Albans correspondent of the
Boston Sunday Globe says: THE only
recent perceptible stir in Vermont State
politics has been Occasioned by the nee
essity for filling the vacancy IN the Re-
publican National Committee, caused by
The death of Col Mason S. Colburn of
Manchester. Col. Colburn was elected
to membership IN 1892, when Col. Geo.
w. Hooker of Brattleboro resigned
Col. Hooker had then held the position
continuously from the Garfield cam
paign in 1880. Col. Colburn had previ-
ously been member of the Republican
National Committee, and, while it was
intimated that he might be candidate
for the position again, still when the del
egates left Vermont for Minneapolis, the
general trend of opinion was that Col
George T. Childs of st. Albans, would be
chosen to succeed Hooker. Col. Childs,
however, gave way to Colburn, and the
later was chosen. The sentiment now
is that Col. Childs is entitled to the 20.
sition, and il is probable that he will be
elected to it by the State Committee,
which will meet in Burlington tonight"

Two announcements the past week are
$1,000. 900 in trying to give the English
people, through the Pail Mall Gazette
and the magazine Of that name, taste
of American enterprise, push and vigor,
but it is failure. He paid $25OOOO for
the plant and offers it now for 5000. 900
with no takers. The fact is apparent
that the English people do not take kind
ly to new world ways of doing business.
They do not read American books, nor
do they care to know our history. Astor
will close up his Pail Mall publications if
he does not sell them out. Meantime it
is announced that the London Times
has secured the services of G. w. Small
ley for its New York correspondent
This means that the Thunderer which
has long been foremost among London
Journals in the amount of space devoted
to American affairs, is going to make
the news of the United States a more
conspicuous feature than ever. The
Times apparently has found its expert
ment wise and profitable. Englishmen
can no longer afford to be ignorant of or
Indifferent to the Western Republic, if
they are disposed to. But 1t is signifi.
cant that the British take their Ameri.
