The Texas legislature, by q practi-
cally unanimous vote, passed the law
intended to prevent the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fight. That is very good,
but somewhat misleading. 1t would
be interesting to know how many OF
those who voted for the act really
hope that the fight will not take place,
either in Texas or elsewere. A vote
is very poor indicator Of honest SEN
timent. The result is that law is fire.
quently in advance of the sentiment
necessary to properly sustain it. Quite
likely the majority of Texans would
prefer not to have this fight come off
within their borders, but the sentiment
against such contests is not nearly so
strong as the vote would indicate. 1t
looks now as if the fight would have
to occur under some other flag than
that Of the United States probably in
Mexico. 1t shows gratifying adj
vance in morality when lotteries and
prize-fghts are not only prohibited,
but actually prevented in this country.

Consolidation Of Marble Properties.

Consolidation Of Marble Properties.
The recent consolidation of marble
quarries and works practically puts
the output Of rough and finished mar
BILE under the control of two compa-
MES in this slate. These two corpo.
rations are the Vermont Marble COM
pany and the Dorset Mountain Mar
BILE company. The first-named cor
poration owns quarries at Proctor,
West Rutland, Rutland, Brandon and
other places in Vermont, and has
mills at the points named. The re-
cent acquisition by the Vermont Mar
BILE company of the extensive marble
property in West Rutland, for many
years owned and occupied by Charles
Sheldon \ Sons, adds materially to
the plant and largely increases the
producing capacity Of this great mar
BILE company.
The other great corporation referred
to-the Dorset Marble Mountain COM
pany-has just been organized by
New York and Philadelphia capital
lists and contractors, who have several
leading Vermont capitalists associated
with them in the enterprise. The
new corporation is said to have 800
0OO,O0 represented in its stockholders.
The incorporators own quarries
in Massachusetts, Maryland and
Tennessee. The.property purchashed
consists Of the quarries and mills of
the old Dorset Marble company in
Dorset and vicinity. The work Of
repairing the mills and plant has be-
gun and will be completed as soon as
possible. About 100 men are now
engaged in quarrying and this force
will be increased to 300 Or 400 in the
near future.

A correspondent writes criticising
us for what he wrongly supposes to be
our position towards the G.. A. r. in
relation to pensions. While we be-
lieve in most liberal pensions to those
who suffered permanent injury in
body or health during service, we do
not favor the present inequitable sys-
tenn by which the most deserving fail
to receive their dues, while the cow
ards and perjurers reap the harvest.
We believe the G. A. r., if it really
desires to reform the pension system,
isin the best possible position for
lending its aid by denouncing un-
worthy applicants and pensioners.
Until it takes steps to do this, we do
not consider that it can with Justice
claim greater Consideration than it
now has at the hands of the govern
ment. The pension system is dis
graceful beyond reason. The G. A. r.

An Insane Desperate.

Frank Brown demolished three
carriages and several harnesses one
night in the barn Of Frank Darling
OF Elmore, by whom he had been
employed. He fed to The Elmore
mountain and was followed by Officer
George E. Towne of Montpelier. The
officer, after searching deserted log
ging camps all night, found his man
at the house of MI. Noble. He sue
ceeded in getting the sdrop' on
Brown, who was in bed with his
clothes on. After putting handouts
on his prisoner, Towne searched him
and found on his person three loaded
revolvers, q dirk knife and q large
piece OF lead with rope attached.
Brown, who is evidently insane, has
been taken to the Waterbury asylum.

Politics at the Reunion.

Such a semi-political assemblagc as
the legislative reunion Of last week
could not fail to furnish considerable
log-rolling. According to report, there
was plenty ofit-Republican, of course.
The next national campaign was
discussed, though the members were
considerate enough not to definitely
settle it except 80 far as Republican
success is concerned. As to candidates,
there was no special preference mani
tested. Any good Republican would
l do. The sentiment seemed to favor
sending the delegates uninstructed,
with Senator Proctor at its head, leav-
ING the inference that the vote would be
thrown to whomever the Senator ia
vored. 1t is yet early, though, and
this program may be altered.
As to the governorship, genuine
surprise was sprung. 1t had been sup
posed that the road was unobstructed
to Maj. Josiah CIRCUITS ambition, but
stumbling block appears now in the
person of Speaker Stickney of Lud-
low, whose boom,j udiciously launched
and industriously promoted by his
friends, caught on at once. Its
strength must have amazed the ma
jor's friends. Their lines are well set,
however, and they will not yield the
place without struggle. If Stickney's
supporters are equally earnest, the
state may be treated to the novelty OF
a live campaign for the nomination.
For Acknowledgements, C.M. Wins
low of Brandon, member of the Board
of Agriculture and representative of
the farming class, was frequently men
toned, as were also Senator White of

The Congressional representation
received no attention, and will not I'M
til the status quo is disturbed.
1t was not strange, in body COM
posed of ex-members of the legisla-
ture, that the sentiment in favor of
more frequent reelection Of members
should be so strong. There is, how
ever, much reason for it, and towns
should consider the advisability OF
returning good representative in
stead Of following the general prac-
tice Of "passing it around" The Of

Of personal popularity than it should
