The One Term Rule,

In his speech before the joint assem-
bly, at the recent legislative reunion, ex.
Gov. John W. Stewart spoke very forci.
bly, of what is called the lone term
rule, and his words have re-awakened
the press of the State to a realization
that change is an actual necessity.
Under the annual system of elections,
which prevailed up to 1870, the govern
or, if acceptable, as well as Legislators,
had generally received reelection, the
former serving the State two years. I'm
der the biennial system, it was argued,
the governor would have two years of
office, as under the annual system. A
reelection would double his term of SER
vice, and the ambition OF but half as
many aspirauts could be gratified MI.
Stewart came up for reelection in 1870
and, on the above grounds, was defeat
ed, thus establishing the rule of zone
term only" not only in regard to the
governorship but to the State represent

FATAL FIREIN WEST PAwLET.
Three Lives Lost and Ten Families
Homeless.

A fire Thursday morning in West Paw
let % miles from Rutland, resulted in
the loss of three lives, made ten families
homeless, destroyed large part of the
business section, and caused loss of
about $4,000. The dead are Mrs. Thos.
Knowles, 80 years old, and her two
daughters, Kate and Anna, aged respect
lively 20 and ) years.
The fire started in a drug store on Main
street under the tenement occupied by
the Knowles family, and when the family
was awakened the flames were well under
way, cutting off all means of escape.
The bodies were found later on. The
fire spread rapidly down Main street,
burning A, P. Bulls block, occupied by
the post office and stores, Rising & Mel
sons block, the Indian Valley Hotel, G.
w. Beecher Bros hardware store, and
several tenements and dwellings. Some
of the larger losses, with insurance, are
as follows:
r. j. Roberts, loss $4,000, insurance
$1,000; Layden & Burdy, loss $4,000, in
surance $500; Copeland IL Nelson, lJss
SlO,000 insurance $4,000; Rising Il Mel
son, loss 5000, insurance $1,000; Beech
er Bros, loss $4,000, insurance 81 600; F.
Johnson, loss $4,000, insurance $4,000;
A. p. Bull, loss $500 insured.
The village has no fire apparatus, and
if there had been wind in any direction
the loss would have been much greater,
as the fire started in the center of the
town and was stopped with great diff
Guilty. The origin of the fire is unknown.

atives and senators. Since that time
there has been practically a clean sweep
in the membership of the Legislature at
each session.
The results have shown themselves in
crude, hasty and unwse legislation, in
large and expensive wastes of time, more
than one half of each session, in becom-
ing familiar with duties, and in attempt
ing to remedy unwise legislation of the
previous session. These losses of time
are heavy and needless expense to the
State; that the mistakes are vicious goes
without saying. 1t couldn't be other
wise.
In the selection of the senators in Con
gress, Vermont has continued to reward
with a reelection those already in office,
as long as they were available; and in
the lower house reelection for at least a
third term has usually been the reward
of strength and faithfulness. The result
has been that Vermont has rarely been
surpassed in the strength of her Congress
slonal representation.
This principle of reelection should be
established in relation to our State leg
islaUure in both its branches. While it
would be useless for any paper to advo-
cate the reelection for any great num-
Der of terms, yet, it seems to us, the
press of the State should urge the abol.
ishment of the absurd and vicious "one
term rule" to be replaced by the rule
that at least one reelection should fol-
low in worthy cases.
With the legislature made up largely
of experienced men, acquainted with
the laws and their effects, of the previ-
Gus session, there would be refresh.
ing freedom from much of the absurd
and harmful legislation that has been
forced upon our people during the past
twenty. i've years. There is everything,
except the satisfying of the ambitions of
the hordes of our would be statesmen,
in favor of continuation in office of
worthy legislators. And between per-
Sonal ambitions and the States welfare,
the former should bear hut little weight.

Many of the papers of the State are
inclined to use abusive language toward
the Rutland Herald for its somewhat
violent advocacy of its high license
ideas. The Herald is an ardent advocate
of high license, and seems to be inclined
to go somewhat to extremes. Yet do
not its efforts, while aimed against the
prOhibitory law, benefit rather than in
jure it? Add if so. does not the Herald
deserve the thanks rather than the abuse
of the friends of prohibition?
The Herald has never undertaken
bigger task than when it started in to
Overturn this law. The law is here to
remain, and remain it will. The lower
branch of the Legislature is composed of
one representative from each town, or of
about 240 representatives, and the upper
branch of between thirty and forty SEN
atOrs. All but an Insgnificantlv small
number of these representatives are from
the small back towns, large majority,
we believe, of such towns as WoodfOrd,
Glastonbury, Somerset, etc. 1t is the
representatives from these towns who
now and who will for time to come, con.
troll the legislation of the State. And in
these towns prohibition is almost as
firmly rooted as is the Christian religion,
for there prohibition is an undoubted
success. There the-liquor evil is entirely
expelled or driven under cover.
So much for the endurance of the pro-
hibtory law The Herald's most savage
attacks cannot change it. But these at.
tacks, when based on fact should serve
to arouse tine people and the press to the
enOrmity of the violations of the law. to
compel us to look the facts squarely in
the face, and to acknowledge that in
many places enforcement is almost a
farce. The people of every section will
indifferently allow vice to breed at their
very dOOrsteps until some violent or
startling exposures or other measures
arouse them from their indifference.
The Herald gives something startling,
and just as much as it ventilates the true
state of affairs, just so much is it doing
good work for the cause of prohibition.
All that is needed for the practical en-
forcement of the law is public senti-
ment that will demand the fulfillment of
official duties, and the only way to Sc.
cure this sentiment is to expose the
iniquity of the present methods of con-
Quoting affairs.
We believe that the Herald should be
encouraged in its work 1t may expose
some disagreeable facts. 1t can do no
harm, but it may do deal of good.

The Hudson-Page Case.

A dispatch to the Boston Globe last
Friday from White River Junction, says:
What may prove to be important testi-
mOny for Emma j. Hudson, claimant be-
fore the Brooklyn, n. Y, surrogate court
for a widows dover from the estate of
James w. Page, the sporting man, has
been developed here.
Elmer +. Sykes, owner Of the stock
farm adjoining Billings park, says he
was with Page at Rutland when Miss
Hudson came there, and that Page went
away with her, as she states. He has
every reason to believe that Miss Hudson
was married to Page, and knows that
their relations afterward were those of
married people. He was with Page II
years, driving MaXey Cobb, Ed. HanlaD,
Teazer and other horses with which Page
won his fortune.
When Page was taken sick he was
brought here, and it was at Sykes house
teat he died, after his return from the
Brattleboro asylum, Sept. goth, 1898. Be-
fore he died the claimant clme here and
visited him, but Page was not in condi-
tiOn to recognize her.
Mr.. Sykes bears the reputation here of
being a truthful man. To-day he refuses
to relate circumstances connected with
the alleged marriage, but said there was
no doubt but that Miss Hudson was mar
ried to Page the night she said she Svas.
Deputy Sheriff Nash received a letter
Friday from party in Wallingford stat
ing that James Leaver, the man that
went for the Justice of the peace, James
Proven, in Manchester, who is said to
have performed the ceremony, was living
in that village and remembered the cir
cumstances. Mr.. Nash has gone to see
him to-day. The next hearing will be

Mr.. TITcoMB FREE.
Eight to Four for Conviction.

The jury in the case of State against
John w. Titcomb, on trial in Montpelier
last week, charged with furnishing
liquor, came in at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning not agreed and asked for fur
ther instructions. The foreman inquired
if the fact that Mr.. Titcomb took the
whiskey from the grip and put it in the
trough, as testified to by Mr.. Heath and
Mr. Pier, would warrant a conviction.
The Court replied that such an act
would constitute an otfense.
The foreman then asked if it would be
necessary to prove this was the same
whiskey that several witnesses testified
they drank.
Judge Thompson replied that the jury
must decide that question themselves.
At noon they came in again, still un-
able to agree, and were discharged.
They stood eight to four for conviction.

The effects of the long continued
drouth are severe among farmers.
Springs that have. always been consid-
cred never failing are in many cases per-
fectly dry, and the meadow brooks have
almost disappeared with the springs. A
large number of wells are dry. In some
cases all the water for domestic use is
brought from low, dribbling springs a
quarter of mile or more away. The
farmer would uncOmplainingly endure
with this condition of things for a time
if not for the trouble of driving stock
long distances twice day for water.
There is full supply for village uses,
though the water company is compelled
to look carefully after all waste. Wed.
nesday for the first time in a month,
water from Lake Hancock was turned
into the main reservoir. If the drouth
continues much longer, even the village
will be compelled to rigidly eConOmiZe

times often flows in Large quantities

In this connection it may be added
that Willis l.. Moore, chief of the Wealth
er Bureau, says that the great storm
which extended over the country the
latter part of last week, marks the end of
the drOuth, and the millions of tons of
coal and other freight so long delayed in
the rivers and canals may soon be ex-
pected to move to market. That alone
is not relied on to supply all the relief
nee1ed, but the conditions are such as
to indicate that succession of heavy
rains will follow at intervals of about
three days until high stage of water is
secured throughout the country. The
prospects for a wet November are prom

The past week has witnessed the con-
viction of murder in the first degree of
two men whose particularly atrOCiOus
crimes have startled the country. Theo-
dore Durant was Friday convicted in
San Francisco of the murder of Blanche
Lamont, and Saturday H. H. Holmes,
the murderer of Pietzel, was convicted
in Philadelphia. There is no doubt that
the latter criminal is guilty of several
other murders, women and children The
victims, his crimes being usually for
gain. In the case of Durant, even this
excuse is absent At his hands is also
laid the murder of Minnie Williams, for
which he will also be tried in the near
future. In both cases the evidence was
purely ciTcumstantial, and though con-
vincing there have been grave doubts of
a possibility to secure a conviction.
Both of these men seem to have been
cool, shrewd and calculating Williams,
yet both were well educated, particular
ly in the case of Durant, medical
student, and assistant superintendent in
the Sunday school connected with the
church in which the crime was commit
ted. How they could undertake their
barbarous crimes there seems to be lit.
