WHAT OUR NElGHBORS SAY.
New Hampshire's Senatorial squsbble
would be impossible in Vermont.

New Ham pshire's Senatorial Squabble
Would be impossible In Vermont.
The senatorial toga Ia bedaubed in New
Hampshire. One cannot even imagine
Senators Proctor and Ross, Hale and
Frye, or senators from other New Eng
land States passing the lie and attempting
to pummel each other. The Granite State
senators do not measure up to the dignity
of the positions which they occupy.-Brat-
teboro Phoenix.
WHEN ALCOHOL IS FOOD.
And must the patent medicine go? The
Rutland Herald thinks the beer contain
ing per cent of alcohol Is hardly more
intoxicating than sarsaparlla containing
Is per cent. There may be a chance for
argument here but It will be unnecessary
when the chemists finally have 1T estab-
lished that alcohol is food.-Enosburgh
Falls Standard.
wATERBURYS POSTOFFICE BUsI-
NESS.
Commencing with July list Waterbury
| postoffice jumped to n second class Of
/ flee. This Is one of the strongest indicu-
| lions that the town is growing. c. c.
Warren is to the Waterbury postofiice
what Wells, Richardson g. Co. are to the
| Burlington postofice. Mr.. Warrens mail
| Is about threo-fourths of the entire busi-
| ness. Uncle Sam now contributes about
| $1,000 yearly towards the support OF TINS
office, which makes 1t very desirable
lone.-Waterbury Record
WENT BY ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Mason S. Stone, superintendent of edu-
cation, i'm selecting photographs of model
and modern school buildings for exhibit
/ ton at the Paris exposition ovcrlooks
Burlington. which possesses some of the
! finest and best arranged structures In the
State. Why did Mr. Stone leave out the
| Converse school building? That is ques-
! ton he should he made to answer He
may not love Burlington and doubtless
the Queen City can strike back the same
way. but is was right down mean that the
/ Converse building was not Included in the
| exhibit! In speaking of the matter the
other day. a well known Burlingtonan
closed his remarks by singing, There's q
good time coming and won't we help it
| on!'-Clipper.
LATEST GUBERNATOR1AL POSI-
BILITY.
| Gen. J. G.. Mccullough for governor and
| Hon. Horace W. Bailey of Newbury for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is the way the editor
of the Groton Times is thinking these
DAYS and it isn't bad think either.
There are other persons in the State,
however, whose minds have been divert
ed from the hay crop and other things to
the building of gubernatorial booms. For
instance, one gentleman of considerable
political influence and acumen, parades
with much dignity and earnestness the
the name of Quartermas ter-General w
II. Gilmore for governor, and says that II
the general, who has, in his official capa-
city and rotundity represented the State
without bringing upon him the diatribes
of the party to which he pins his faith
will consent to allow his name to go be-
fore the honest people of the common
wealth, he will sweep Vermont from
Island Pond to Pownal. -Essex Record.
A UNION STATION THE THING.
If beautiful Burlington is to be chopped
up with two railroad stations for two
. railroads, when one should answer. thai
town might as well go back to stage
| coaches.-Swanton Courier.
NOT A TAIL END STATESMAN.
1t can at least be said that If Proctor
, becomes president he won't be any Other
mans man, and he won't be listening tt
syndicates or from the tail end Of rail
road trains to learn public sentiment from
which to formulate policies He is a mar
of brains. and original power combined
, with very great NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
