--BabcOck & HOward's steam mill at
North Thetford, has been assigned to the
st. Johnsbury Bank. The past year they
employed IS men and sawed 1000, 900
feet of lumber. Free lumber was the
disease.
The quiet little village of MOretown,
situated eight miles south of Waterbury,
was visited Wednesday evening by the
largest fire in its history. The loss will
reach Sl1 900, while the insurance is only
$4,000. The fire company with the en-
gine from Waterbury arrived at the scene
at 7.30. and saved the town house and
several other buildings which would
doubtless have been burned. The large
steam mill of Tripp, Tennont S Com
pany, was all destroyed, also tenement
house which contained the pOstotfice, a
small store and a tenement occupied by
j. w. Taylor. Some books and mail
matter in the postoffice were saved, but
all the records were destroyed. Freeman
Parker's saw mill, situated north of the
company's mill. was the next to burn.
The flames spread rapidly to Frank Saw
yer's new house, the finest residence in
the village. Most of the furniture was
saved but the house and barn were des-
trOyed. The burned buildings were sit
uated in the north end of the village and
constituted the principal part of it. The
fire is a great loss to the town as lumber
ing constituted Its main business. The
spring stock of logs is all destroyed and
it is doubtful if the mills are to be re-
built

There is one Democratic paper in Yer
mont, the Poultney journal, to which
Cleveland's abandonment of our time
honored policy of strength for its policy
of weakness in dealing with European
Nations, and the laying of the Monroe
Doctrine on the shelf at the request of
Great Britain, is nauseating. In speak
ing of the Nicaraguan affair, it makes
use of the following:
There is scarcely doubt but what the
marked tendency of the present admins
tratiOn to tamely surrender its rights,
rather than to be to the trouble to assert
them, has led directly up to this aggres.
sion, and will invite others of like char
acter. Our government needs little
anti-tOXine from the memory of old An
drew Jackson transfused irto its dull
system, so that the betrayal of American
rights can no longer be confidently pre-
dicted in advance of their occurrence.
The administration is so afraid of being
accused of jingOism that it absolutely
casts aside it's patriotism. 1t is so re-
gardful of the rights of other Nations
that it needlessly surrenders its own. A
little exhibition of old fashioned Ameri-
can pluck, on the part of Grover Cleve-
land, would do far more to restore his
lost prestige than dozen "sound money
letters"

perience, Vermont, which has just begun
to realize in practical way the need of
better roads, may learn much of value.
A big advance was made towards reform
when the county meetings of Road Com
missioners was provided for. The re.
form movement should be pushed along
The legislature of Massachusetts,, says
Col. Pope, has appropriated the sum of
100000 to be expended under the i'm
mediate supervision of commissioner
in constructing new and rebuilding old
roads. This sum has been pretty evenly
divided among the fourteen counties of
the State.
Before deciding which of the many
petitions should be granted, an official
visit was paid to each locality, and full
information as to the value of the pro-
posed improvement collected. While
this method has distributed the work in
small sections of roads, thus increasing
the expense per mile, the advantage to
the people at large will be greater, for
the reason that each portion of the State
highway constructed is intended to be an
object lesson to those living near by.
County commissioners and other officials
will watch the work as it progresses, and
follow out the same lines in building
county and other roads which are not in
tended for State highways.
The plan is to build, section by sec
tion, such roads as will connect the great
centres of trade, and join with through
roads in other States, so that both local
and interstate communication will be
benefited.
A resident engineer is appointed by
the Commission, and it is his duty to be
in attendance, and keep a correct account
of all items to be paid for by the State.
Wherever the cratic was of sufficient
proportions to warrant it the roads have
been broadened. The advantage to own
ers derived from the construction of the
way. is, as a rule, so much greater than
the injury to them by widening the road
that, in large majority of cases, the
town officials have been able to procure
releases without any cost.
Thirty eight sections have been con-
tracted for, and only eight of them are
to have a width of eighteen feet of hard
ened surface.
The provisions of the law will permit
contracts for the construction to be let
to municipalities or to private corpora
tions, but the former arrangement is pre-
ferled, as it is more effectual in teaching
the people the art of road building, and
protects the State against cheapening
the work by the importation of foreign
la1orers, an element which is apt to be
Objectionable.
AS the primary object is to get length
of way, the Commissioners are consider.
ing the advisability of building single
track roads in the thinly settled districts.
These would not be over nine feet wide,
with here and there portions of double
width as convenient passing points for
carriages. A mile and a half of such
roads can be built for less than tue cost
of a mile of fifteen feet width, and the
advantage in getting produce to market
is not lessened, provided such construc-
ton is confined to localities where the
average traffic is from six to eight vehi-

Well, that is just the idea good many have They

1t is quite probable that the President
will be called to account by Congress at
its next session for his course in regard to
Nicaragua. His experience with Con-
gress shortly following the Hawaiian af
fair, will render another similar expert
ence rather undesirable. Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, said last week that, if
nobody else anticipated him, immedi-
ately upon the assembling of Congress
he would introduce resolution expires.
sing it as the sense of Congress that the
Monroe Doctrine was vital feature of
American policy and that the United
States could not look with cOmplacency
upon any attempt on the part of any
European government to eYade it or to
seek either temporary or permanent oc-
cupatiOn of new territory in any Ameri-
can republic. Such a resolution, it is be-
lieved, would be adopted by Congress
without any difficulty. The feeling of
the American people has been so thor
oughly aroused on this question that it
demands some expression on the part of
it's representatives in Washington and
will be content with nothing less than
virile and unmistakable declaration of
allegiance to the doctrine which has
been incorporated in the unwritten law
of the United States.
