CuRRENT COMMENT.

The Windsor journal formally presents the
name OF Speaker w. w. Stickney Tor governor.
The journal puts II in the stereotyped way to
the effect thai il has it upon "eXcellent
authority" that Stickney had decided "to
WELD to the solicitat Ons OF his many friends
and permit the use OF his name as II candidate
tor gubernatOril hOnors.' WHAT IL surprise
il must have been to our friend Stickney to
have seen the announcement of hls candldacv
in the journal! And how the journal could
ever have found out that he was IA candidate
is beyond the comprehension OF o. dinary
mortals.-lNoItnfeld News.

bined chorus and regiment of chamber
lains, but it never ceases its eulogy OF
the Office-holder.
The other thing to be remembered
and il explains why the Free Press is
what it isis the fact that its editor and
chief owner, Hon. G. G. Benedict. Is
now and for many years has been a
perennial and persistent oiiice-seeker'
He is an able man IN some directions,
amiable and interesting, but constitu-
tionally weary. He and a few Others
like him live up on the hill in Burling-
ton, flock bv themselves and worship
one another. They have INDUCED in the
latter pastime so long that they have
come to believe that they are of finer
clay than the rest of the town. The
town does not entertain that view; but
as their delusion is harmless and often
amusing to outsiders, it is not questioned
and may even be encouraged at times.
Being better than his fellows and also
fundamentally opposed to undue exer-
ton, it follows logically that the world
owes Mr.. Benedict living. The world
as a whole does not agree with that
reasoning, bat the otfice-hOlding world
has been persuaded to act In accordance
with It. Mr. Benedict has been twice
postmaster of The city and once collector
of customs. He is credited with de-
sire to occupy the latter office again
The members of congress will, of course,
haye more t1 say about the disposition
of the office than any one else. Sc
naturally it is rank heresy in Mr.. Bene
diets creed, especially at this juncture
to permit one syllable of criticism Ci

ADDISON COUNTY COURT.
December term of the

1.-THE December term of the county
Ecourt came to an end at 9.lS o'clock laSt
Saturday morning, after session of 20
days, during several of which but little
business was done.
The last case tried was that of William
Goulette, by his next friend, Louis Gou-
lette, VS.. Charles Benedict, which nccu-
pied most of the day Friday. The case.
which was tried by the court, was
brought to recover S35 of wages claimed
by the plaintiff The defendant claimed
that The plaintiff hired out to him for
eight months. but left before his time was
out, just before haying last summer,
much to the damage of the defendant.
The cause of leaving was trouble about a
girl who worked for the family and
with whom It was alleged that the plain
tift was undulv intimate. Saturday
morning Judge Taft rendered Judgment
for the plaintiff to recover Sl5 damages
and his costs. Judge Slade and Mr.. Bliss
represented the plaintiff and the Button
brothers appeared for the defense.
Three divorce cases in addition to
those hitherto reported were heard.
John Gregory, formerly of Addison, was
granted bill from Susan S. Gregory for
wilful desertion, +. W. Tuttle of Yer
there being no defense.
Mabel Shedrick of Bristol was given a
divorce from Walter Shedrick for intol-
cradle severity. Mr.. Wilds was the pc
titioner's attorney and there was no de-
fense.
Mary +. Stilson was given divorce
from julius Stilson for wilful desertlOn
This was another Bristol case. w. w

Congress has done but small amoun
of business during the past week. The
house passed the bond bill on Friday, anC
now that measure, as well as the so
called emergency tariff bill, is in the
hands of the senate finance committee
which is expected to report both bill
today. The senate committees have
been reorganized. Senator Proctor gets
the craftsmanship of the agricultural
committee and Senator Morrill, that OF
the finance committee. The latter com
mittee now consists of l3 members,
eight of whom-one a Popuhst, one a
Republican and six Democrats-are free
silver men, while the remaining five are
anti-silver Republicans.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1896-01-03

The Washington correspondent, who.
in another column, comes to the defense
of Senator Morrill, against some un-
gracious and largely untrue remarks of
the MiddlebuTy REGISTER, will allow us
TO say that he gives too much impor-
tance to what has probably struck most
Nermonlers who have paid any attcn-
ton to it as a very petty little eXhib-
tion of ealously or something worse.
The universal respect and esteem in
which Mr.. Morrill, is held at Washing
ton does not surpass the respect and
esteem In which he is held at home. He
Is by nomeans prophet without honor
in his own country. The man cannot be
named who Is today held in higher honor
and more ailectonato regard by the
people of Vermont. That the Middle
bury REGIsTER should he am exception
to the general sentiment i. perhaps.
not altogether surprising. The fact is
not forgotten by many Nermontcrs that
in 1873, when Mr.. Morrill, received his
third election 10 the United States senate
by vote of lS9 Republicans to - for
his Democratic opponent, Joseph Bat
tell of MiddlebuTy, then a member Of the
legl' lature. misrepresentcd the mas of
his constituents and acquired some tem-
porary notorety for himself bV with
holding his vote from Mr.. Morrill, aud
casting II for Republican,. who was not
candidate. and was diSgusted that any
man should have voted for him Mr.
Battell Is understood to be the owner
OF one-half or more of the Middlehurv
REGISTER, and the cranky attitude OF
that paper towards senator Morrill, ],
probably quite satisfactory to MIR. Bat
tell burlington Free Press.
Mr.. Battell is in no wise respons-
lble for what has been said in these
columns Of late regarding Senator Nor
rIli, though we presume he entertainS
the same opinion of that gentlemen that
he did in 1873.
In order 10 clear comprehension of
the paragraph above quoted two things
should be borne in mind. One of them
