Two of our prominent citizens of opposite
political belief engaged III an animated dis
cusson of the political questions of the day at
Walkers store one day last week, furnishing
entertainment for Il good audience of listen
ers but we have not learned that either OF
| the participants have changed their position
by reason of each others arguments.
The bicycle stolen from the store of George
III. Walker was found Sunday morning in the
horse sheds in the rear of the Congregational
church by Eddie Brigham. For some reason
the thief or thieves decided to return the
wheel, probably from the fear of detection
owing to the reward offered for his or then
apprehension.
The monthly offering of the Y. p. 5. c. E

The city marshal of Keene was in town
last night looking or another bicycle stolen
in that city Monday morning. There
seems to be an organized gang of thieves
in this vicinity Sunday night four stores
and the depot were entered in Putney, and
Monday night G. d. Britton's store in
estmoreland was entered, money
drawer pried open and $3.50 taken. The
game of change is also being played. A
man with 500 bill enters store and
says he wants to get it changed for smaller
bills; the smaller bills are handed out; he
then rolls up say two or three of the one
dollar bills and says, 81 don't want so
many small bills, give me five for these. "
The five is handed out and the man who
has made the change does not discover that
he has been beaten until the owner of the
500 bill has gone.

Fate of the Rutland Road.

A hearing was held in the Brooks House
in Brattleboro yesterday before Judge
Wheeler, United States district Judge in
reference to the Central Vermont receiver
ship. New York attorneys representing
the Ogdensburg road presented petition
for an order directing the receivers to pay
the interest on the Ogdensburg bonds
which was due May l. A hearing on the
petition was set for the first day of the
May term of court at Windsor.
A hearing was also had upon the petit
ton of the Rutland railroad company for
an order to compel the receivers to pay
the rent provided for in the lease, or in de-
fault to surrender the road The court
made an order that the road be surrendered
on May at midnight, that is tomorrow
night.
No final order has been made touching
the payment of rent since the receivers
went into possession of that road. The
receivers refused TO adopt the lease of the
Rutland road for the reason that the oper-
alton of the road entailed loss upon the
Central Vermont company. 1t was claimed
that the rent $1,000 day was too large. A
detailed statement showing the loss to the
Central Vermont company from the opera
ton of that road year by year since 1891
was given. The loss in 1895 was $1,000.
The Rutland company will take posses
sion of the road tomorrow evening and
run it as an independent line This line
has been leased by the Central Vermont
fos 25 years. B. F. Fiield, j. w. Stewart,
and G. M. Wilds appeared for the receivers,
Michael H. Cardozo and III. d. HYDE for
the American Loan and Trust company,
Charles p Searle for the National Bank OF
Redemption and David Wilcox and C. A.

Speaking of the matter the Burlington
News says: 1.-The Central will make con-
nections at Burlington with his passenger
trains, and the train service will for the
present be conducted precisely as hereto.
fore. All passenger trains will be run as
at present, and no change will be made.
The freight business, however, is diff.
ferent story. All freight controlled by the
Central Vermont will be forwarded ove1
the Central division, and if Mr.. Clement
wants to carry any freight he will have to
hustle for 1t.
What will be the outcome of the present
complications no one KNOWS, not even the
receivers. The Central has been operating

principles since the presidential cleo
ton of 1892. 1t is known from the cleo
ton returns that the populist party has
increased in numbers about BOO, 600 or
400, 900 since that time, when its vote
largely exceeded 1000, OO0. But its
strength has meanwhile been spent in
combinations for local Offices, now with
the republicans, and now with the dem
Ocrats, either to gain a few places for
its own followers Or to defeat the most
Objectionable candidates of other organ
iZatiOns.
The populist party is now again called
into action in u national contest, with
increased numbers, with the prestige OF
its remarkable vote in 1892 to stimulate
it, and with Il fiattering prospect of sue
cess which was utterly wanting in that
year.
The democratic party will suffer some
loss from the detection from the Chica-
go platform. But that loss is mainly
confined to republican states and to
states controlled by the money and in
fluence OF wealthy banks, corporations
and trusts. 1t will be much more than
made up by the accessions to the demo-
cratic ranks in the vigorous and grow
| ing states which have set their faces
firmly against the golden oligarchy.
That is certain from the position of
the republicans Of such states as Cali
fornia. Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Ne
vada, North Carolina, South Dakota,
Utah, Wyoming and three or four more,
who, di%scarding the halfway express
sion adopted by the republicans of Hi
nois, Indiana and Kansas, and others in
favor of gold and silver coin and free
coinage, declared boldly and plainly in
their state platforms of 1894 and 1895
for the immediate ''free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio of Ii to L.
With these facts to guide us it is easy
to see what the careful canvass made
by the Herald Enthusiastically indicates
In California in 1892 there was no fu.
sion on the electoral tickets, and the

is concerned. No intelligent person
who knows anything about the present
