Elections by Plurality.

In the election of members of the
General Assembly, Representative
Clark of Glover purposes to substitute
the plurality vote for the majority vote
the law has long required. 1t is diff
fcult to see what reasonable objection
can be raised to the change proposed.
Vermont, we believe, is about the only
state that adheres to the majority rule
in elections to the legislature. In
elections by the people circumstances
justify the application of the plurality
rule. The adoption of the Australian
system of voting is new and impor-
tant circumstance justifying the change.
In towns where there is sharp contest
and successive ballots are required to
secure majority, the process of vot-
ing is slow and the election is often
prolonged far into the night, and some
times continued on the day following
the appointed day of election. This
places an unwarrantable hardship on
many voters, the aged, the lnhrm and
the invalid, or it practically DISTINGUISHES
them. Political night elections are un-
wholesome. 1t is probably true that
insistence on the majority rule makes
more wrongs than it rights. In small,
compact body of men, like legislative
assembly, or the electoral college, or
any similar body, private or public, the
majority rule is right and proper.
There the objections that exist in the
case of an election by the people do not
prevail. The only reason that can be
given for retaining the majority law,
in the case in question, is the reason
that keeps in existence many absurd
laws and customs, to wit: Whatever
is, is right"
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-10-14
Levi X. Fuller.

The people of Vermont were shocked
to learn, a few days ago, that ex-Gov-
ernor Fuller was very seriously i'll
with little prospect of recovery; in
deed, that his hold on life was very
feeble; that, at best, he could maintain
his relaxing grasp for but some brief
space. The intelligence was a sur
prise to the public at large. 1t was
known that Governor Fuller had re-
tired from the governorship much ex-
hausted by two years of very close and
painstaking labor in the chief executive
office; that his health had been Sc
riously impaired, and that early in the
spring of this year he had gone south,
seeking in a more genial climate the
beginning of recovery from the pros
tration that had overwhelmed him. 1t
had been understood, during the sum
mer, that he was slowly regaining his
health and the hope was INDUCED Of
a final return of his old-time activity.
This expectation was realized in some
small degree, but there came relapse,
and, on Saturday morning, at quarter
past one, death ended the unequal
struggle.
Governor Fuller has fallen in the
prime of manhood's years and in the
midst of great activities. His age was
iifty-fve. A lad with pronounced
taste for mechanics and faculty for
mechanical invention, combined with
capacity for business, he attracted the
attention of men always in search of
such combination. Entering the
years of early manhood, he became
successfully the employe, business
partner and son-in-law of Jacob Estey
of Brattleboro, the renowned manufac-
turer of organs. With an aptitude for

from east of the Rocky Mountains.
The last crop year in Australia, also,
was partial failure, and California
furnished the colonies part of their
bread supplies. These facts are held to
prove that, while other sections of the
world will raise wheat, there ia none
where the crops are 80 certain as in
California, and, with the exception of
Australia, none that can raise wheat of so
good quality as is grown in that state.
The wheat now going to India comes
from the San Joaquin valley, where the
finest product of California is grown.
Many of its wheat fields are miles in
extent, the ground is as level as floor,
and improved machinery is used in
sowing and harvesting. So say the ac-
counts educed by this novelty in the
movement of breadstuffs.

To Develop Vermont.

An organization has been formed at
Burlington, said to have for it's object
the establishment of means for the
more complete information of nom
residents concerning the advantages the
Green Mountain state offers in the way
of summer homes and inducements to
people to locate here" etc. Among its
promoters are Col. LeGrand B. Can
non, Ex-Governor Stewart, Governor
Woodbury. and others. "The Vermont
Development Association lis the name
of the organization. Its object is COM
mendable. 1t should have the counte-
nance and active support of all loyal
and patriotic Vermonters.
AT the preliminary meeting of gem
tlemen interested in this scheme much
was said about the necessity for some
changes in the tax laws of the state,
and particularly about amending the
law to relieve personal property from
some of its burdens. AT the recent
meeting at Burlington to perfect the
organization, the statement of the OBJ
ject OF the association was supple
mented by suggestion that, if deemed
advisable, it "would make an attempt

Wheat for India.

Like bringing maple sugar TO Yer
mont is shipping wheat to India, but
over 10, 900 tons of the cereal are to be
shipped from California to the East.
The great northwestern province, which
produces three.quarters of the grain
of India, has had no rain and the
drought has completely ruined the crop.
1t will be necessary to import seed
wheat for next seasons crop. The
parched condition of the great wheat
fields is said to be terrible, and famine
is threatened in several districts. The
growing crop is in a bad way, and at
the harvest season, next March, not
over half crop will be harvested.
Two steamers will take between 10000
and II 900 tons to Calcutta and Bonn
bay, landing their cargoes in India
about the middle of December. This
shipment excites considerable interest
on the Pacific coast, but it would not
pay to send wheat to oriental ports
