TO REDUCE SELECTMEN.
One of the Questions to Come Before
Grafton's Postponed Meeting.

Grafton, March 16.-At the postponed
town meeting to be held Saturday, the
10th, there are but three questions to
come before the house, that relative to
reducing the number OF selectmen from
five to three, and the acceptance by
the town of the new boundary line be-
tween Grafton and Upton; also the ac-
ceptance of the new piece of road built
across the land of one Burns, on Brig
ham hill, which road leads from the
main Brigham hill road to the residence
of Martin Kelley. On the last two
there is practically no chance for argu-
ment, except that some of the property
owners in the vicinity of the Grafton
and Upton line may think that the
change win make it necessary for them
to pay higher rate of taxes than here
tofore.
The question of reducing the number
Of selectmen from five to three was de-
bated for more than an hour at last Sat
urday's meeting, and the contestants in
that meeting have not lost any Of their
ardor in UNFOLDING their view of the
matter. Some see in the reduction of
the number Of selectmen a deep scheme
for the advancement of personal inter
ests; but whether this be visionary or
not, it certainly will be a higher honor
to be elected for three years on a board
of three than it is to be elected one
year on a board of five. The compe-
/ tition for office would be far greater, al
though the remuneration would be the
same.
The idea of having a continuous
board, whether it be of five or three,
is condemned by some, as they see in
it sort of royalty and the monopoliza-
ton Of town affairs by a few With an
order passed for the reduction of the
board to three, the agitation would be
so strong for dividing the town into
| three sections or wards, that each sec
ton might always be represented on the
board, that a special meeting would be
proposed for such consideration. With
out such division, it is generally be-
lieved that board of three would be
an utter failure as far as serving the
combined interests of the town is con-
eerned.

EVERY day brings new and more
startling evidence from Cuba of the
frightful mismanagement of the army
of invasion. The Indifference as to
the welfare of the poor boys who went
there 20 die for their country was
manifest to an extent that is regarded
almost as crime. DIR. Sem, the emf
nent Chicago surgeon whose patriot
ism prompted him to give up prac-
tice of $4,000 year to go to Cuba at
the head of a surgical staff at 1888 a
day. openly charges the army manage
ment with gross carelessness on the
part of Gen. Shafter, which implies
Gen. Alger as well. of course. Not
only was this lack of proper fore
thought frightfully apparent in the
matter of medical supplies but in the
lack of mail facilities. Many
poor boy, DIR. Sem saws. died abso-
iutely OF nostalgia, which is nothing
else but form of home sickness that
a letter from home would have re-
lieved. This form of affection was
particularly noticeable among the
wounded and fever patients. IF the
mails from this country had been de-
livered promptly" said DIR. Sem. lit
would have saved many lives" The
scarcity of food and water was simply
appalling in the conduct of the Santi-
ago campaign
