The relative heights of Killington
and Mt. Mansfield, the two Hottest
Green Mountain peaks, will soon be
known, the United States Geodetic
Survey now being engaged in the
work of taking measurements of
these and other Vermont peaks.
Historians and map-makers have
differed widely as to the heights Of
Killington and Mt. Mansfield, to the
confusion OF the general public, but
not until few years ago was there
any doubt but that Mt. Mansfield
was the higher. Measurements were
then made by the Geodetic Survey
and the attitudes Of the stations on the
two mountains announced as 424I
Tor the Killington station and 4o7I for
the Mt. Mansfield station. These
surveys were supposed to have prov
ed that Killington overtopped all
the Green Mountain peaks, but the
fact that the Mansfield station was
not on the summit of the mountain
was unknown or overlooked. The
Geodetic Survey really reported, says
the Burlington Free Press, that 4o7I
feet was the height of Mansfield
Nose, the Chin being between 800
and 400 feet higher than the Nose.
The work OF the Geodetic Survey
is not yet { ompleted, but the Free
Press is informed that it can be
stated at present that the height
of the Chin of Mansfield is about
400 feet; and of the Nose 4o7I feet
the Chm being about $50 feet
higher than the Nose and that the
height of Killington il greater than
that of the Nose aud less than that of
the Chin.

1t is pretty sure prophecy that
Platt's interest in politics would sud-
denly cease if the New York Re.
publican machine were to put up a
candidate for mayor, with Seth Low
also in the field. Such move, it is
pointed out, would result in tre-
mendous victory for Tammany and
the retirement of Plat and his party
workers and the whole machine from
any active part or division of spolls
in New York politics. This fact i
is believed will deter the Boss from
any experiment which is sure to re-
suit very disastrously to him. Seth
Low is likely to be taken into the
Republican camp before many days.

In his shot at prosperity Mr..
William ]. Bryan raised the conten-
ton of the Bimetallists that the open
ing of the minis to free coinage
twill fix mint price for silver, just
as mint price is now fixed tor gold. I"
Secretary Gage punctures this fall
lacy by showing that there is no such
thing as mint price for either met
al-all that the mint does is to give
in return for a certain number of
grains of uncoined gold certain
number of grains of coined gold,
the cost of the necessary alloy. No
mint does more than this; no mint in
the world would be rich enough to
do anything more. There were
other sophistries in Mr.. Bryan's let
ter, all based on this fundamental
misconception; and however capti-
vatingly set forth, they should no
longer serve to mislead the unthink-
ing now that their untenable charac-
ter has been so completely revealed.
