ENDING OF THE SEIDL SEASON.
MUSIC-LOvERS TROUBLED BY THE IN
CREASE IN PRICE OF ADMISSION TO

CREASE IN PRICE OF ADMISSION TO
THE BRIGHTON BEACH CONCERTS.
The Seidl Society's season at Brighton Beach
closes this week The end Of the season has
been marked by great discomfort 10 a consndera-
bic number OF music-loverr, occasioned by the
increase in the price Of admission The an
nouncement was made at the beginning Of the
summer that the price would be % cents except
when solosts appeared. The price on such oc-
casions generally 30 cents
This week however. the price at all concerts
has been raised to 30 cents. The result has been
that at every con -ert where soloists did not APP
pear especially at the afternoon concerts, the
doorkeepers have been besieged by women. pro-
testing and demanding explanations. Many OF
the women who visited the beach did so only
that they might attend the concerts, and
brought little money with them. Some Of them
have been obliged TO return without the musical
treat they expected to enjoy because they were
not prepared TO make up the difference in price.
1T is unavoidable" said the doorkeeper, in re-
ply TO a number Of inquiries These concerts
do not pay. and the deficiency has been made
up throughout the summer by members Of the
society The matter finally reached such point
that it question OF either stopping the
concerts altogether or increasing the price. The
society thought the fairest way would De TO
keep the concerts going 80 that those who were
willing TO pay the additional price might not
be disappointed in their wish to hear Sedl
Notices are posted at the ticket office an
nouncing the increased price. but many Of the
visitors come with books of tickets and do not
go 10 the ticket office. They learn the news
only when they reach the door.
In place Of the regular symphony concert, the
most popular programme Of the season will be
PLAYED at Brighton Beach Music Hall tonight.
II drew the largest audience OF the season
when il was given previously. and has been
substituted for the symphony programme by
request Of many cOncert-gOers. The season
will close on Sunday night The programme
for tonight will be follows.

would not have been more wanton and
reasonable had Speaker Reed consti-
tuted the ways and means committee
of the Fifty-frst Congress with ma
iority of free-traders, and this commit
tee had put every article of farm prod
uce on the free list, than it was by
Speaker Grout of the Vermont House
of Representatives in 1886, when he
made up railway committee Of large
majority of members who were either
railway officials or men who were
known to be hostile to the kind Of
commission the public was demanding,
and which ignored the farmer interest
in framing the law that was enacted.
The Enterprise recruit alleges that
the rub of the whole affair is because
certain person desired an appoint
ment on the railway commission and
was refused" Well, this is as reason
able and probable, and as near the
truth and facts, as anything else in
Candidate CIRCUITS Indictment. Assum-
ing that the appointment Of an intelli-
gent and well-informed farmer on the
committee was urged by men like Ex-
Governor Barstow, was there gross i'm
propriety in such request when the
opposing interest had scooped the
Speaker, who was stuffing the commit
tee with railway officials and attorneys
and their coadjutors? Did the Speaker
and his client interests want the earth9

patriotic craftsmanship. But bill was
introduced in the senate OF 1917 10 re-
neal this law. 1t went through the va
rious stages of legislation and was
passed, Wednesday, November 49, No
votes were heard against the measure.
No voice was raised in protest. Con-
temporaneous history shows none, the
records show none. Josiah Grout was
a member of the body that, without a
protest or opposing vote, repealed this
wise and benefcent law. The influence
against it had moved in a mysterious
way its wonders to perform" But for an
important and closely-contested election
that was pending in joint assembly, the
repeal might have stood as the judgment
of the senate. Senator Foster was can.
didate for the Office of state superintend-
emit of education. The action of the SEN
ate in repeating the state school tax was
sharply criticised in legislative circles.
The representatives of the towns the
tax was intended to help were aroused.
Immediately on the assembling OF the
senate on the morning of the seven
teenth, the vote passing the repeal bill
was reconsidered. Senator Foster then
spoke against the bill, and on the ques-
ton of its passage called for the yeas
and nays. Passage was refused by a
vote of 6 to 81. The joint assembly for
the election of.superintendent of edu-
cation was to be held in the afternoon.
During the night Candidate and Sena-
tor Foster had seen vision.
Did the same vision appear to Senator
and Prospective Candidate Grout9 Was
his final vote against the bill a matter Of
conviction or policy? To many people
it will appear that the man who could
suffer a measure like this repeal bill to
pass the body of which he was mem

the fatuous conventionalities of his
newspaper eulogists to the contrary
notwithstanding. And his offence was
not cured by the fact that after the
senatorial mind had been sharply called
to an act of dereliction of public duty
he cast a vote against an unwise ant
unjust measure. The governor of Yer
mont ought to be made of different
stuff.

What Was the Public Demand ?

For the further edification of the
Barton Monitor, which finds it "im-
possible at this date to say what was
the public demand in 1885," in respect
of railway commission, we publish
the resolutions of both the republican
and the democratic conventions of that
year. Here is the resolution of the re-
publicans:
"Resolved, That it is the sense OF this con-
vention that the public good requires the
passage Of laws establishing both state and
national railway commissions"
The democratic convention made the
following declaration:
1--WE favor the establishment of a rail-
road commission, believing it to be for the
best interests Of those who furnish the
traffic, and also Of our railroad companies,
that the basis OF rates of transportion be
accurately ascertained, better understood
and known to be fair"
AS we stated last week, resolutions
were passed by the county conventions
generally in favor of law that should
give the commission more substantial
powers in the matter of rates and
traffic in the state, similar to those of
some other states and similar to those
embodied in the interstate commerce
law. The farmers and manufacturers of
the state believed that they were paying
higher freight rates than other people
and wanted the facts ascertained. They
believed these were instances of unjust
discrimination between places and in
dividuals. The public demand was not
hostile to the railways, but had refer
ence to the best good of all interests.
The law enacted was delusion and q
fraud. 1t kept some of the words OF
promise to the ear but broke them to
the heart of the people. The circum-
stances of the enactment of the law we
need not repeat, or go into the reasons
why it has not been repealed. They
are so clear that wayfaring man
though as big fool as the Monitor
editor or the Enterprise harlequin, may
understand them.
AS we have said, the law did little
more, in effect, than create coroner's
jury to review the circumstances OF
railway accidents. 1t enormously in
creased the expense of state railway
supervision without adding materially
to its efficiency or it's benefits to the
people. But the law itself is not now
on trial. 1t is Josiah Grout, the can
didate for governor, the man who con-
stituted the railway committee of 1886
in manifest disregard of the public de-
mand, and who is primarily responsible
for this legislative tiasco.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-04-15

THE Watchmdn charges Speaker
Grout with responsibility for the ''impo-
tency" of the legislation to which re-.
publican conventions all over the state
had pledged the party. The Watch
man says: "His hostile committee was
master of the situation. Action was
delayed till the end of the session. The
bill that was finally reported and passed
was compromise that eliminated
every feature essential to the efficiency
of the measure" The Watchman is
right with regard to the impotence, the
absolutely farcical character of the
present commission law, no matter
whether it is fair or not in laying it all
to Grout.-Brattlebo Reformer.

A Masked Battery.

The readers of the Barre Enterprise
scanned the editorial columns of that
paper last week with open-eyed won
der. Had the editor and editress been
born again.? What other explana-
ton of the sudden and voluble erup-
ton? When the first emotions of sur
prise had given place to cool reflection,
the impression gained ground that if
there had, indeed, been new birth,
the last state of the editorial mind
was worse than the first. 1t is clear
that the wonderful transformation is no
Nicodemian incident. This ,explana-
ton would do injustice to the estima-
BILE pair whose intelligent comments on
current events enliven and enrich the
columns of the Enterprise, and who
grace the excursions of the Vermont
Press Association and give zest and
piquancy to that annual festival. The
editorial layout last week was evil
IDENTITY the work of an interloper. Some
one was simply masquerading in the
editorial habiliments. The quill was
the quill of the editor, but the hand
that guided it, the size of the brogans
that protruded from the enveloping
drapery, the editorial dome, though
surmounted by feminine frizzes and a
Psyche pug, betrayed the disguise.
Who was the masquerader? Opinions
differ, but there is consensus of opin-
ion that it was no less parsonage than
Candidate Grout himself. This opin.
ion is possibly erroneous, but it is
clear that the exigences of the Grout
campaign in this part Of the state de-
manded that something be done, and
that Editor and Editress Scott be gu
perseded by some aggressive minion Of
the Orleans county statesman.
This anonymous apparition has the
effrontery to berate the WATCHMAN,
at which his shafts are aimed, for print
ing letters from the people dealing
solely with matters of public nature
and which are proper subject for pub
lie discussion and criticism. If any
answer at all were needed to the curl
osity Of logic and literature; strung
together by this makeshift, it is en-
bodied fully in the statement of the
facts in the matter of the formation of
the railway committee Of 1886, in the
WATCHMAN of last week. He appeals
to Judge Stanton, who was the only
man on the committee that stood up
straight for the public interest, and to
Judge Stanton shall he 90. The Judge
is in evidence that the committee was
packed in the interest of the railways,
and that it got in its work faithfully in
favor of their interests. The majority
was dominant; the small minority was
powerless; the tail could not wag the
dog. This jealous anonymous" un.

the public by parading things he "has

Two months ago the Free Press
could see that the unanimity for Major
Grout was so great that it doubted if
any other name would be before the
convention. On Monday it issued its
semi-occasional bulletin on the state of
the canvass, announcing that Major
CIRCUITS nomination is practically as
sured." At this rate of progress, ad-
vancing in two months from condi-
ton bordering on absolute unanimity
to one of practical assurance" where
will the Majo be at by the last of June?
The Free Press bulletin is all "assur-
ance," grounded on faith in the omnip-
otence of the mechanical and merce-
nary forces that are arrayed on the side
of Candidate Grout.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-04-15

THE Brattleboro Reformer says the
WATcHMAN is grounding its opposition
to CIRCUITS candidacy chiefly on his
makeup OF the railroad committee in
the legislature of 1886. This is not an
accurate statement. The makeup of
the house railway committee is only
one count in the general indictment.
1t is serious enough alone to defeat
him, and ought to. Circumstances have
brought this act in his legislative career
early and prominently to the front, but
an examination of the records will
show that the measures of real reform
and progress that have been under con-
sideration in the legislature during the
past ten or twelve years have not only
had no help from Josiah Grout but
have encountered. his opposition - an
opposition that has not been frank
and open, but sly and covert. The
WATCHMAN's opposition to him is on
this score, and the further fact that for
decade he has been planning, schem-
ing, trimming and bargaining to obtain
the governorship.
