property. From near Hubbard street,
Barre street easterly is not of legal
width, and the front yards of the
houses, on either side, are more or less

from the center of the legal road, the

To similar extent changes must be
made in the front yards of property

their grounds, now none too spacious,

The result will be a lot of bob-tailed

THE Santa Fe collision few days ago
had an awful counterpart, last Friday, in a
head end collision between a freight and
passenger train near Newcastle, Col. 1t is
thought there were about 200 persons on
the passenger train, and the number OF
those who persisted is conservatvely esti-
timated at thirty. The name of the con-
ductor of the freight train, which was
loaded with cattle, who is blamed for the
catastrophe, cannot be learned, nor can
either he or Engineer Outrider of the freight
train be located. 1t is thought that both
are killed, though one official gave his opin-
ion that both men made for the hills. The
crash was followed by an explosion.
Flames shot up from the ruins, and the
groans OF the imprisoned passengers were
heartrending. Many passengers who were
not killed outright, but pinned in the
wreckage and could not be extricated, per.
ished in the flames. 1t is estimated that
thirty were killed and as many more
bruised, scalded and burned, of whom more
than six are likely to die OF their injuries
The passengers in the day coach Jared the
worst. Out OF twenty mine people in that
car only six are now known to have escaped
Two cars OF the freight train were loaded
with live stock, and the road was strewn
with dead and dying CATTLE

East COrinth Fair. Stallion Awards.
Editor Of Waterman; ;

Editor of Waterman;
My attention has been called to the report of
the East Corinth fair in your issue of Septem-
Der s, and it is suggested that in justice to the
public, the gentleman who acted as judges, and
the horses in question, | should correct the
errors and omissions in the report OF premium
awards on stations. My stallion shown, with
stock and awarded first premium, was Dandy
Lambert, very worthy son OF Aristos, (by
Daniel Lambert). The two-year-old stallion
exhibited by me is Fairlee Lambert and took
first premium The one exhibited by Mr..
Rutlege was awarded second premium. Both
of these colts are by Dandy Lambert. | can
not see why the reporter should rehearse the
'laurelsn won by Golden S., and slur the
judges who are all good men, Of good judg-
ment and experience, and the voice of the
people" strongly sustains their awards. al
though the judges, acting at the same place
two years ago, gave Golden 5. first and Dandy
Lambert, second. | do not consider that the
Worlds Fair fourth premium ribbon on the
bride of Golden S., controlled the award
then, or should have had any influence this
year, but that the comparative shouting of the
horses and their stock should and did, govern
the awards. Respectfully,
Lake Morey, Fairlee, Vt, Sept. 10, 1897.
THE WATcHMAN prints Mr.. Davis letter in a
spirit of fair play. The reporter of the Cornth
fair had no object but to tell the story of the
exhibition as he saw it, without prejudice or
favoritsm. Any errors of fact-and such are
always possible-are cheerfully corrected.
n We regret that, ON the more essential part of
Mr.. Davis criticism, it is not possible for the
reporter to speak for himself in this issue. He
is man of good intentions and good iudg-
ment, and if he has failed to do Justice to the
stallion exhibit and awards it is the exception
that proves his general fairness and accuracy.
Certainly nothing could have been further
from his intention then to ''slur" the judges or
any other official or person.

THERE has been at Hazelton, Penn,
another of those bloody tragedies that
an extended strike is apt to produce.
Our news columns give the details.
The sheriff who was in command of
the laws forces is fiercely denounced
by certain of the newspapers, and by
other members of the community. They
talk as if they believed that it were bet
ter that the laws should be defied and
trampled under foot, its officers NAL
treated or murdered, property de-
stroyed, the rights of citizens invaded
and their lives jeopardized, rather than
that the rioters should be subdued by
the only means for which they have
any respect. The newspaper editors,
clericals and others who weren't on the
scene of the conflict between the forces
of order and disorder, but know all
about all the circumstances, and are
sure that the sheriff lost his head,''
and that, without just provocation, his
deputies fred upon the mob, are much
like their predecessors during the civil
war who were denouncing Grant for
imbecility, and declaring that Sherman
was crazy. For weeks those mobs had
been "raising the devil in the Lehigh
Valley. They had been destroying
property and denying their liberty to
miners who were willing to work.
They were marching on Hazelton to
destroy certain works there and to pre-
vent miners from working. The sheriff
of Luzerne county sought to dispense
the rioters by peaceful means. They
assaulted him when he tried to arrest
the leader of the mob. They over
bore him and were rushing upon his
deputies, fierce and murderous as the
tribesmen of India. Then the legal
guardians Of that community had re-
course to the only means left to faithful
and resolute officers. The blood of the
miners who went down before the vol
leys the deputies fired is upon their
own heads. The supremacy Of law
was maintained and honor is due to its
faithful defenders.

ARTHUR ROPES. General Editor.

THE silverites basked for brief mo-
ment last week in ray of light the
Times of London unwittingly shed upon
their cause. 1t was pale, sickly ray
but silver was for an instant cheered
by its CLEAN. The Times spread the
report that the Bank of England would
hereafter keep one.fifth of its specie
reserve in silver. The report created
a worldwide sensation, but was every
where received with an incredulity that
another day showed was justified by
all the circumstances. The Bank Of
England, whatever may have been dis
cussed in the privacy of the meetings of
its managers, has no such purpose as
the Times attributed to the institution.
The Times was simply duped, as it has
been before, into the publication OF
sensational news. But II the bank
had, in fact, for any reason relating to
the effect of the act upon the cause OF
bimetslism, or for any other reason,
decided to keep one-6fth Of its reserve
in silver, no advantage to the white
metal would have accrued therefrom,
The amount would have been about
$4,000, 900, a sum, even il bought in
the market, instead of being supplied
from the banks Golfers, would have had
no appreciable effect upon the price Of
silver. However, the mere suggestion
of such thing has been received with
such an objecting outcry that the cause
of silver loses by the incident from the
small store of moral strength recent
events had left it.

For several years the question of En-
glish at college has been before the
public, and particularly at the times
when colleges begin their work in the
fall and have their commandments in
the spring. The reason is that the En-
glish of college students is not what
it should be. considering the opportuni-
ties they have, and the demand is
that it shall be better. In an address
made at a commencement gathering of
the University of Rochester last week.
Mr. Joseph Hoekstra proposed that his
alma mater should take upon itself the
task of making a reputation as CEN
ter of pure English writing and speech.
In the course of his address he said
Have you heard the talk of-academic
youth and college men among them
selves. everywhere indeed. save, so to
speak. on dress parade. with an ear to
the separation of slang and awkward
forms Of expression from such words,
phrases and sentences as would bear
reading if taken down from the lips of
the speakers? The truth is that incor-
rect speech is so general, if not uni
versal. that we are ashamed at ordi-
nary times to express ourselves in
proper English. Such speech is too
insipid for ears used to the highly
spiced seasoning of slang; it is GOO stiff
and starched for those accustomed to
license and loOseness in language; ii
sounds affected in the presence of the
undress, ragged, patched, hobo, Coxey-
army garb in which our English APP
pears. save on special and set occa-
sions.' This is rather strong language.
but it is good English. 1t is to be
hoped that not only Rochester but
other universities will become centers
of pure English writing and speech.
Mr.. Hoekstra is on the right track, at
all events Success to him.

TARIFF DOORS.


A man canrot shut his own door in
another's face and then expect that
other to open his to him when he may
knock. Yet that is practically what the
United States are doing with their
tariff legislation. This government is
shutting its doors against all nations
and at the same time asking them to
open theirs to it by removing restric-
lions upon American meats But the
governments are not inclined to re-
move them. And why? The following
statement, which appeared in the
Washington correspondence of the
New York Herald of the Goth inst, ex-
plains why they will not:
Overtures were made through the
foreign legations in Washington, as
well as through our ministers abroad,
with a view TO showing that no valid
reason exists for the retention of the
foreign restrictions. While it was
granted that the opening of foreign
markets to our meats and cattle would
afford a desirable increase of revenue
to American raisers and dealers our
representatives tried to show that I'M
der the present circumstances there is
a net loss to Europeans, to whom the
cheap and abundant food question is
one of vital Importance. 1t was further
urged that as the condition of our
meats for expectation was all that
could be desired. the retention of the
restrictions was an unreasona BILE
breach of international harmony and
good feeling.
In every case. however, has come in
reply a fiat refusal to repeal the pro-
hibitory laws. England. with whom our
grievance is least, on account of the
provisions in force and because she has
less need of our meats, since she can
draw food supplies extensively from
her colonies, is the most amicably dis
posed in the matter.
France, Germany and Italy have
definitely declared that whatever might
have been their disposition under other
circumstances, the provisions of the
pending tariff bill so unjustly dis
criminate against their productions
that they consider ii unreasonable, if
not insolent, on the part of the United
States to ask for the removal of the
restrictions Rather, they say. are they
disposed to enact more restrictive legis-
lation against our commerce.
The golden rule is as applicable to
nations as to men.

A MARRIED LIFE.

NV love has talkd with rocks and trees
He finds on misty mountain-ground
His own vast shadow giory-croWn q
He sees himself in all he sees.
Two partners of a married life
| looked on these. and thought of thee
In vastness and in mystery.
And of my spirit as of wife.
These two-they dwelt with eye on eye,
Their hearts of old have beat in tune,
Their meetings made December June,
Their every parting was TO die.
Their love has never passed away;
The days she never can forget
Are earnest that he loves her yet,
Whate'er the faithess people say.
Her life is lone. she sits apart,
He loves her yet she will not weep,
Tho rapt IN matters dark and deep
He seems to slight her simple heart.
He thirds the labyrinth of the mind,
He reads the secret of the star,
He seems so near and yet so far.
He looks so cold she thinks him kindr
She keeps the gift of years before,
A withered violet is her bliss:
She knows not what his greatness Is;
For that. for all, she loves him more.
For him she plays. for him she sings
OF early faith and Dlghted vows.
She knows but matters of the house.
And he. he knows thousand things.
Her faith is fixt and cannot move. "
She darkly feels him great and wise,
She dwells on him with faithful eyes
q cannot understand: ] love

AS VENEZUELA SEES IT.

Venezuela got the benefit of the Mon
roe doctrine as interpreted by Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Olney, but having
accomplished that, she does not ac-
cept their Interpretation of it any
longer.
The librarian of the national library
of Venezuela, DR.. Adolf Ernst, was
sent by his government to Georgetown,
in British Guiana. to study historical
documents preserved there, and while
there has given the Venezuelan view
of Mr. Cleveland's Intervention in the
boundary dispute between Venezuela
and Great Britain to the Venezuela cor
respondent of the London Times And
this view is quite different from that
of the ex-Dresident and his secretary
of state Venezuela" said Dr. Ernst,
lis naturally very grateful to the
Washington government, but has no
intention of playing the vassal state.
The Monroe doctrine is exploded II
has no reason for its existence at the
present time, and President Cleveland's
attempt to apply it to the Venezuela
boundary dispute cannot be justified.
Indeed, 1 do not think he can have an
