embraces the Dauntless. Inca and Angie

long been a thorn in the flesh of the tow
boat combination, and when she kicks out
OF traces and commences rate cutting there
is music in the air The towboats against
her take on coal enough to last for long
trips and literally haunt the waters OF
the Atlantic coast around Brunswick for
a distance of from 10 10 90 miles. The Dart
does likewise in regard to the combination
boats, and in the past she has been sue
cessful in enlisting outside aid in the
shape of the tug Dandy of Darien. As a
result of the last war the Dart and Dandy
were brought to terms with the combi-
nation, and by an agreement the Dart
was laid off for a certain period and the
Dandy went back to Darien and Sapelo.

Tho situation in Canadian politics
over the Manitoba school issue, is get
ting to be complicated one, with the
Conservative party, made up mainly OF
Pedestrians standing for the system OF
separate sectarian schools in Manitoba,
according to the covenant OF the Do
minion constitution, and the Liberals
whose chief strength lies in Roman
Catholic Quebec, lining up, under the
brave leadership of Mr. Laurier
against the ministerial program of
forcing the sectarian system Of the pco-
pie of Manitoba against their will.
The Conservatives were rather forced
to their attitude by tho action Of the
Priyy Council sustaining the Catholic
claim as a constitutional right, and
they calculated that the church lnhd-
ence, which was nearly all enlisted ON
that side, would be sufficient to SECURE
Liberal support of their proposition,
and demoralizc both political parties
to such an extent that the Liberals
could not take advantage of Conserva
tive weakness. But Lauricr has issued

The Washington correspondent Of the

preparing for an epoch marking stroke
for civil service reform, nothing less
than an extension Of the rules TO en-
brace practically the entire civil ser
vice of the nation, The correspondent
says this plan has been in the presi-
dents mind FOR long time, and has
been delayed in its accomplishment
simply by a desire to have each cabinet

The village of Bennington Centre
! with a population never exceeding 300.
has furnished four governors to the
state. They were Moses Robinson,
Isaac Tichenor, Hiland Hall and j.
S. Robinson, the last named being the
only Democratic governor the state
ever had. Thomas Chittenden, the
first governor of the state, also resided
at Bennington Centre for several years.
Il Burlington News.
The News is the source of a great
deal of Vermont history that aim
So. The state had succession of
great Democratic governors in the first
quarter of the century, the period in
which she made her best growth in
prosperity. To say nothing of Moses
Robinson, who was thoroughgoing
Democrat though not elected on a
party issue, Israel Smith was the first
one, in 1907 s, being elected over Isaac
Tichenor in a square fight between the
Democrats and Federaists and though
Tichenor won again the next year. he
was followed by Jonas Galusha, per
haps the greatest Democrat of our his
tory. who served the state for 10 years
and continuously except for the inter
mission 1Sl3-l5 when the Federalist
opposition to the war of 1912 placed
Martin Chittenden in the chair. Gov.
Galusha's rule was soon followed by an
"era of good feeling in state politics,
which placed Richard Skinner. Cor
nelius p. VanNess and Ezra Butler in
the governors chair and which CON
tinued down to about 1880 or until
the anti Masonic breakup of party
lines, AND nearly all of this rule from
the retirement of Gov. Tichenor in
1909, may fairly be described as Dem
ocratic. as the legislature was for sew
eral years before, Gov. Tichenor Sc

The Island Pond Herald effectively
answers by the citation Of an Obvious
fact the plea of some of the state con-
temporaries IN excuse for the outrag
eous increase in our state expenses,
| that it Is caused by the law made at
the behest of the lawyers, providing
for the trial of cases where the parties
are willing, before referees instead of
jures The party advancing in a
case has to make just the same deposit
AS he did before, the old IS jury fee.
Then the rule of reference is issued
and the state pays the referee $ a
day where under the old rule If the case
was tried in court, the jury fees alone,
which the state had to pay, amounted
to s4S day. Unless, therefore, it can
be shown that references prolong trials
to eight or 10 times the time required
before iuries, or that they greatly in
crease litigation, the excuse will not
answer OF course the first SUPPOSE
tion is evident nonsense and as to the
second, though experience varies in the
different counties, il cannot be denied |
that as whole there has been very |
considerable decrease of litigation in |
recent years. But i'll spite of these
perfectly plain facts the state auditors
reports show large and steady in
crease of court expenses. The various
commissions appointed by the court
special masters, auditors. &C, tribu
nails whose expenses were formerly
borne by itigants and are now paid
by the state, account for part perhaps
most of it, But it is in all likelihood
true that Il large part is also to be ex-
planned by IA growing practise of ex-
cessive charges, for which illegislation
las opened the door, especially in
liquor prosecutions, in spite of all the
auditor can do. The situation in every j.,
view of the case is one that proves I

dent Grant during the 10 years war.
1t appears from the diary record OF
Secretary Fish that Grant in 1870
decided to recognize the bolligerency
of tho insurgents and proclamation
to that effect vas written out, and Mr..
Fish directed to issue it. But the
latter dsobeycd the instructions and
a cabinet meeting afterwards decided
that there were not sufficient facts to
Justify recognition. The diary states
afterward that Grant, before leaving
office, warmly thanked Mr.. Fish for
his disobediencc in this and ono other
case and said il had saved him from Il
