Ex-Governor ID. Russell Brown, In his
reply to the New York Journals ques-
tion as to whether he would accept the
nomination to the e-presidency on the
Mckinley ticket answered very promptly
"yes." There Is nothing like speaking
right out in meeting. Ex-Governor
Brown reminds one OF the late Governor
Butler, whose famous remark thai he was
like q widow: "Who knew what she
wanted and wasn't afraid to ask for Ii"
The Rhode Island Ex-Governor also
knows what he wants, and he has never
been afraid to ask for it, and he has gen.
orally obtained what he wanted.

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-05-13

During the five years covered by the
secretary's reports over $4,000, 900 has
been invested in the various industries
of the state, giving employment to over
5000 persons. The secretary says:
No single industry has called for the
investment of 80 much capital as the
development of electric light and power.
Of the many large, unused water
powers in the state reported in 1891,
there are but few to-day that have not
been utilized, and the most common
use made of them is the production of
electricity" From this utilizing of
these water powers and the employ
ment of electricity in manufacturing
industries, Secretary Spear forecasts an
encouraging future for industrial Yer
mont, and he is undoubtedly right.
The water powers are frequently at
points unfavorable to manufacturing
enterprises. Electric wires carry this
power to the natural seats of industrial
activity.
The statistics of the summer boarder
industry are very incomplete. Esti-
mating from the returns received, the
secretary judges that the amount of
business was about 100000 for the
season of 1895. There appears to be a
lack of enterprise in developing this
industry. The secretary believes that
ga great increase in summer travel
cannot be expected until more accom-
mediation is provided New summer
hotels and greater interest in the traf-
fic by private families would operate
to increase Vermont's summer travel
business. More liberal advertising,
better service for guests and better
railroad accommodations are held to be
the leading prerequisites for the ade-
quate development of this industry.
With Vermont's natural advantages,
charms and scenery that captivate
everyone that comes within her borders,
it is strange that this important source
of material income should not be i'm
proved to the utmost of its unlimited
capacity.

ARTHUR ROPES, General Editor.
In brief editorial paragraph, which

In brief editorial paragraph, which
is republished in this column, the
Burlington Ne,oS again characterizes
the five per cent state school tax as
communistic, and expresses the
hope that Major Grout is opposed to
the tax. Whether or not Candidate
Grout is opposed to the tax now would
probably depend upon the effect his
position might have upon his canvass
for the governorsbip. But no matter
what epithet may be applied to the tax.
1t is just and right-just and right as
the law that compels every taxable
person to contribute to the support
of the public schools, whether or
not he has children to send to those
schools. The chief point the Ne,cs
makes against the tax-that it costs Bur-
lington $4,000 a yesr-assuming that
it is true, is not well taken. But this
objection, independent of other consid-
erations, comes with poor grace from
city that has received in gifts and be-
quests for school purposes tens of
thousands of dollars from citizens Of
other Vermont towns, that is receiving
tens of thousands of dollars from the
people of Vermont who send their
youth there to be educated, that is re-
ceiving annually other tens Of thou
sands for school purposes from the
state and the national treasures. Bur-
lington, and even Candidate Grout,
must be ashamed of this particular
newspaper advocate.

Obituary.

GLEAsoN.-Ca j. Gleason, Esq, died
in this city at midnight OF Saturday, May
8. Mr.. Gleason's decline had been quite
rapid. He was present at the annual city
meeting in March and participated in its
proceedings. He had been suffering from
a difficulty with the heart, which developed
rapidly during the spring. He went to
Boston for medical treatment but received
no relief. After his return, early in the
present month, he failed rapidly and passed
away ct the time stated above. Mr.. Glea-
son was born in Warren, Vt, October 49,
1881. His boyhood was spent on his fathers
farm, but he sought an education and was
graduated from Dartmouth college in the
class of 1856. After his graduation he read
law in the office of Hon. T. p. Redfeld, at
Montpelier. He had for year and half
the charge Of the Central Grammar School
of Peabody, Mass, during which time he
continued his legal studies, and returning
to Montpelier was admitted to Washington
county bar in October, 1858. He held at
various times several clerical offices in con-
nection with the legislature and in 1861
formed law and business partnership
with his former preceptor, under the title OF
Redfeld & Gleason, which continued till
1870. In 1872 the law firm of Gleason &
Field was formed, with Henry X. Field
Esq, the junior member OF the partner
ship, an association that continued till
1881. Mr.. Gleason retired from the prac-
tice of his profession and devoted himself to
business affairs, for which he had a predi-
lection. He had been for many years man
ager Of the Montpelier Gas Company
From 1885 to 1891 he was director and treas.
urer of several mortgage and investment
companies, and had his residence in Boston
for part of the time, but in the latter year
he resigned his Office and returned to Mont
pelier where he has since resided, devoting
his time and energies to business enter
prises and to the care of his real estate, not
ably the " Riverside in this city. He was
member Of the firm of Goss & Gleason of
Vergennes, owners and manufacturers of
kaolin, at the Monkton Kaolin Works. Mr..
Gleason was active, energetic and self-re-
liant aud he was successful in his enter
prises. He was intelligent, well-informed
and pleasant gentleman to meet socially.
He was good fighter, and good friend to
those to whom he gave his confidence. He
was active in public affairs, in the conduct
of which he was Away the advocate of re-
trenchment and economy. Mr.. Gleason
married Ellen j., daughter of the late Ora
mel Fl Smith, Esq, of Montpelier, who
survives him. Funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. A. n. Lewis, rec
tor of Christ Church, officiating. Interment
was in Green Mount Cemetery.

pany v. L. #. Rudd, from Bennington
couUty, was the first case argued. The
court found defendant liable in book ac'
count for 1854, az reported by the audi
tor, and ordered close jail execution as to

that the tort is waived. g. II. Darling for

same day to his mother, Electa, the wife Of
George w. 1t appears that Electa has
since deceased and George W. now claims
that the estate was conveyed to her in trust
for himself. In his petition to the probate
court he asked that the admi nistrator OF
Eecta be granted license to convey and de.
cree the execution of the trust to him. His pc
ton was dismissed in probate court for want
OF jurisdiction. Batchelder & Bates for pc
titioner; @. II. Darling for Knapp.
