Now that Admiral Dewey has said in
effect that he would be pleased to have
any testimonial that the peoplaof Yer
mont and other states might choose to
make him take the form Of a building
for Norwich University, Mortified, his
alma mater there should be ready
and generous response. It's discredi-
table that Dewey's own state which he
has made famous has done absolutely
nothing thus far in recognition except
to pass a resolution Of thanks through
it's legislature. Norwich University,
too, because Of what it has done for
state and nation, is itself worthy OF
whatever may be done for it in this
way. Let it be a real popular move

Gen. Peck is still welding the baton
of his office. When he was spared from
the disgrace Of having his Office legis-
lated away from him it was with the
distinct understanding that he would
resign as soon rs he could do SO with
out damage to the service. His formal
resignation was said to have been
handed to the governor, to take effect
about Jan. LIST. While we are inclined
to believe that this was not actually
done, there is no question whatever
that he tacitly agreed to resign and it
is equally certain that the knowledge
that he had done so served to save him
from disgrace at the hands of the leg
islature, Now, longafter it was antic-
ipated that the state would be rid of
Peck, he still holds on and there is
good reason to believe that he intends
to. Pressure is being brought to bear
on the governor not to call for his res
ignation. Some of those for whom he
has flunkied are foremost in extolling
his virtues. The argument that he is
only one of several guilty of maltea-
sance is being used to excuse him, not
withstanding that the others hold no
places of trust or profit under the state
at present and cannot be reached as
Peck can. 1t is characteristic Of the
man to cling TO the official pap as long
as he can, regardless OF appearances.
1t may be disagrseable duty for Gov.
Smith to perform, but he should call
for Peck's resignation the first moment
that it becomes apparent to him that
Peck is Withholding it for personal
reasons. II is idle for Peck to hope
that the people viii forget or overlook
his shameful doings in the slightest de-
gree with the lapse of time. The state
needs new Acknowledgement, more
modern and up to date. whose ideas of
duty are not of Peck's peculiar brand.
In our opinion, it was a mistake that
he was not summary bounced by the
legislature. as any untalthful servant
would be by his employer if known to
be so egregiously unfit for his place.

1t is a regrettable fact that there is a
certain sentiment on many public ques-
tons that prevails to some extent
throughout New England, but more
particularly in Massachusetts, and still
more particularly in and around Bos-
ton, with which the country At large
has become very impatient. Ii is a
spirit Of INSTRUMENTATION, of noisy
and vigorous opposition to anything
new or progressive, and worst of all il
assumes such superlatiye wisdom and
virtue that the rest OF the union is
thoroughly disguised with it. II is
the spirit Of Mugwumpery in its es-
sence. 1t is small numerically, but il
possesses no modesty for that reason.
1t lacks faith in American citizenship
and manhood, and sees only the dark
side of the curtain. 1t is always look
ing backward, never forward. Ii APP
peals to precedent and tradition, ir-
respective OF their application TO new
situations. II is making an especial
exhibition OF itself now over the treaty
of peace, which il is seeking to defeat,
with blind disregard TO the desires of
the great majority. In its animosity
to expansion, ii would even plunge us
back into war. The Boston idea is
not the sentiment of New England. but
it is so noisy and assertive that this
whole section suffers the reproach.
The love of Barre and Montpelier for
their new electric road has suddenly
cooled. Words cannot express their
detestation for itand they are doing
their best to place close boycott over
ii. The trouble arises because the
electric company has doubled the fare
between the two cities, and for other
minor reasons. The people feel that
they have been unjustly treated. They
were wei served before the electric
was built by the two steam lines, but
the electric has practically ruined the
passenger traffic over the steam lines,
on account of its lower fares. just
when all was supposed to be pleasant,
the electric raises the fare and the war
begins. II is claimed that the com
pany in its charter was bound to "A five
cent fare between the towns and that
it has no legal right to charge more.
Several persons have sought and Sc
cured eieetment from the cars after
what they believe to be the
proper fare and have brought suits
against the company. The company
claims that it cannot afford to carry so
great a distance for nickle and that
it did not agree to. With all the liti-
CATION that is in sight it is not hard to
why the large and flour
ishing colony of lawyers in Montpelier
and Barre looks forward with encour-
agement. Meanwhile the steam cars
are getting the bulk of the patronage
again.
