THE MONTICELLOLIAN hasn't a great deal of patience with the newspapers and people who are continually bowling for war with Spain upon every pretext; and while we do not believe in being run over by Spain, or any other country, we believe in be- ing conservative in all things. lift turns out that the Spanish government was, purposely, in strumental i'll the destruction of the Maine and refused to make all necessary reparatiOn, as far as 1t was able, then We would say let there be war. But for this government, which is pow erful and strong. to go to war with Spain, and kill thousands of her citizens who are possibly ignorant of the terrible calamity in Havanah harbor and, per haps, who sorely regret 1t, with out giving that government a chance to be heard, would be very foolish, 1t seems to us.
 War should be avoided if pos sible, at least fit can be honor ably done, for while war=talk may sound big to some people actual war is anything but pleasant, and while we are con fdent that this country could wipe Spain out i'll the round tip, a great many good people, from our side, would come up miss ing, and there would be many widows and orphans here when the war was over. War brings trouble, suffering and misery, and after it is all over a people are not much better off than when 1t begun Such is our ex- perience, to say the least of 1t.

Big Fire in Burlington.

Burlington suffered heavily from
tire Saturday morning, the extensive
lumber mills and stock of the Shepard
& Morse company, near the depot,
being destroyed.
The fire broke ont at about O'Clock
and at noon many of the lumber piles
were still burning. Everything in the
wards was burned, including several
old dwelling houses.
Suspicious are entertained by the
firemen and police that it was set as
several fires broke out in different To-
calities at the same time but were
promptly extinguished.
The loss OF this plant will be big
blow to Burlington as it is one of the
leading manufacturing industries of
that city. The loss is about $500, 900
and the insurance about Sl6O, Oc0.
The company is at present unde-
cided as TO whether or not it will re-
build, but the chances are in favor of
rebuilding.

Scotland where orders for eight ma
chimes have recently been placed. The
prospects for a eady trade in this
field are bright and the concern viii
probably have all it can do for some

The Rutland shirt factory, although
not rushed, is doing a steady business
and has turned out al average of $50
dozen shirts a day during the past
two months. Most OF the work now
being done is on summer goods.
The prospect for next year in this
line is bright.
The business at the Rutland cold
storage plant has been good all
through the year and the plant has
run remarkably well. Seventy five
per cent of the stuff stored in the
building has been butter, eggs and
cheese, much of which at present is
being drawn out. The new stuff will
not begin to come in before March.
The establishment of the Benning-
ton Knitting company, which had
been idle short time, has resumed

ness that will employ $50 hands at

dispensable bv the very man who so
bitterly attacks him. the duties of the
reporters being such that one cannot
be assailed without the other being
likewise affected The Waterman
editor well knows that there is no
truth in his criticism, but hopes to be-
fog his readers, who do not have the
opportunity to know. and might be
misled by charge of his kind. This
is the first word of condemnation of
the work of the House reporters that
has been uttered 10 their knowledge
during their two terms, and that it
should come so unfairly is evidence of
the fact that the purpose was merely
to meet point that could not other
wise be answered. The House report
ers are not expected to furnish yerba-
tim reports of the debates, and they
would not be used if they were fur
nished. They do provide condensed
reports OF all action of consequence
taken by the body, and this they did in
the case referred to. The Waterman
is angcred because it finds itself
cornered by facts. and in its endeayor
to escape does not hesitate TO use the
most tespicable methods. This is no
new course for it. and it is not sur
prising that under such crazy pilotage
it is rapidly approaching a condition
that will forever point out a warning
to the ''cut-and-slash" style Of journal
lists, if such other there be, in Yer
