The Car of Russia has furnished the
sensation of the week by his proposition to
the great Powers of the world to establish
a basis of universal peace. The text of
his note, elsewhere published, is in sub
stance a suggestion that an international
conference be held to consider a reduction
weighs on all the nations, and which grows
constantly more burdensome, and is a
hindrance to all the arts of peace. This
is plan for an ideal state which will not
be realized at present, but the fact that
such suggestion has come from such a
source is significant of the paths of peace
which lie before the nations in the long
years TO come.

Next TUESDAYS Election,

1t is safe to say that there has never
been more distinctively 'off year" in
Vermont politics than .he present one.
The situation is peculiar in that, to the
usual lack of interest in the state cam
paign, when no issue is pending, there is
added the fact that the whole public inter
est Of the summer has centered in the war,
its close and the home coming of the sol
ders.
The usual official notification has been
given and the ballots have been printed
and distributed, but so far as any other
outward signs are concerned no one would
mistrust that state election is to be held
next Tuesday.
There has been no effort to arouse pub
lie attention or call out a full vote, and it
is therefore time when each individual
voter must see that his own ballot is taken
TO the polls and cast. 1t is TO be hoped
that every Republican voter will perform
this duty. The state and county ticket
ought to receive united support, and it
should be borne in mind especially that
on the size of the vote cast for the state
ticket this year will depend the represen-
tation of each town in the state conven-
tions of 1900.
For various reasons it will pay to
take the time and trouble to vote next

800 and Costs for Killing DeeH
Out of Season.

Charles Hitchcock of Shushan, N. Y,
and Harry Teft of Arlington were befor e
the municipal court at Bennington, We'd
nesday, charged with killing deer out OF
season. The evidence showed that the
deer, which were partially tame, were kill
ed with eight-ounce shot, and that Teft
dared the other man to shoot one, telling
him that the fine would be only 500, and
that if they went and complained of them
selves they would receive $50 back. Judge
Darling convinced them that they were
wrong in that idea and fined them the ut
most he could, 800 each and COSTS They
paid the fines.

The most sensational development of all
has come in the sensational Dreyfus case
at Paris. In 1894 Capt. Albert Dreyfus, a
captain in the French army, was accused
of selling military secrets to the Germans.
He was arrested, convicted on the strength
of a letter which it is doubtful if he ever
wrote, and sentenced to solitary confne-
ment on an island OFF the coast of French
Guiana. The case threw the French ma
ton into intense excitement. Out of it
grew the arrest, trial and conviction of NJ.
