Col Joel {. Baker of Rutland ha.

First district, thus increasing IN

will have to be numbered for identi
fication il the entries continue tC
come in. He is said to possess all
the qualifications necessary tor 4
representative and may add IL little
interest to the contest between EN-
Gov. Page and Judge Powers. He
may, too, get third place in the nom
mating convention.
Here is the First districts field of
candidates-the active contest, how
ever does not begin for some time /:
Ex-Governor Carroll S. Page.
Congressman II. II. Powers.
Ex-Mayor H. S. Peck.
Railroad Commissioner d. /.

Col. Joel c. Baker.
Hon. ]. X. Batchelder.
To this list may be added Gov. E.
{. Smith and Judge Il. n. Start
whose names have been mentioned
for congress.
If the board of railroad commits
sioners has not power to abate such
q nuisance and peril us the crossing
at White River Junction about
which SO much complaint has been
made it has little excuse for exist
ence. The board is now making it's
annual inspection of the railroads of
the state. The members are all en-
ccllent men, but, says the Mortified
News, "under the present power
granted the board It is about as use
full as grasshopper in potato
patch. The next legislature ought
to give the board more power or
abolish it altogether"
A correspondent of The Age states
that huntsmen in his vicinity have
been shooting at deer with small
shot-shot that at first can only
wound these beautiful animals and
result in cruel suffering and perhaps
in lingering death. This is not
sport. 1t is brutal practice and
shows that much more is yet to be
done for the protection of deer in the
Green mountains. Doubtless there
are very few hunters who resort to
the wounding and manning of deer,
in the method referred to, but there
should be some way of reaching and
Furnishing them, and possibly the
present laws provide way. The
"squirt-gun" must go.
1t is worth noting that the Univer-
salist convention, which has Just
closed in this city, emphatically
tabled an adroit contemporaries"
resolution. This action was in
thorough accord with the enlight-
ened common sense which from be-
ginning to end characterized this
great Universalist assemblage. -Bos-
ton Journal.
This resolution simply recited
word for word the preamble to the
Declaration of Independence moth
ing more nor nothing less. 1t is
worth while to have lingo organs
that its rejection was
proof of "enlightened common
sense" 1t helps us to know Just
where we stand. But in Justice to
the clergymen OF the convention it
should be said that they "indefnitcly
postponed" the resolution not on the
merits of the question but because
hey thought it best not to act on the
matter at all.
