BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1899.
nspublIcnn Mayorln Ro.ton.

After a spirited campaign the Republic
cans won great victory In the municipal
election at Boston Tuesday, Thomas N.
Hart, ex-mayor, defeating Gen. Patrick A.
Collins, the Democratic nominee, by 1904
votes, the totals being Hart 40,66 and
Collins 39,761. Eight Democratic and FIVE
Republican aldermen we're elected. The
city voted for license as usual and there
was strong vote against relaying the
electric railroad tracks on fremont street.
Boston went Democratic by 5000 votes in
the recent state election, and Mayor
Quincy was elected two years ago by 1000
plurality. The result was probably due in
part to the dissatisfaction Of the faction Of
the Democratic party which supported
John r. Murphy for the Democratic NOM
ination. The results in the other cities of
Eastern Massachusetts, we're generally ia
vorable TO the Republican candidates, al
though at Lowell jeremiah Crowley, a
Democrat, was chosen mayor. Lowell
and Salem changed from no-license to H.
cense. Chicopee had the fercest political
fight in her history, and Mayor Deunis
Murphy known as "Honest Dennis'D was
reelected by 1853 votes. He failed to get
denomination, but filed papers of nomina-
ton. He made a straightforward appeal
to the voters of the city, asking support
against the rum sellers, whom, he claimed,
were instrumental in defeating him for re-
nomination. Mayor Arthur b. Chaplin,
Republican, was reelected in Holyoke by
629 plurality. He is the only Republican
to be reelected mayor of Holyoke since the
beginning of the city, when that office was
filed by William Whiting.

Unlucky Vermonters !
[From the Burlington News.l

This editorial was bad lapsus. AL
most on the day it was written news came
from Panay of the wounding of two men
in Capt. Brownelrs company, in an en-
gagement against the insurgents. AT San
Juan and Ell Caney were Vermonters who
fought bravely as United States regulars,
and many other Vermont boys have been
in active service in the Philippines.
When we turn to the naval engagements
Vermont easily stands at the head of the
list, and Admiral Dewey and Capt. Clark
of the Oregon and other officers did their
duty no more nobly than Danny Green of
Fair Haven, who steered the Gloucester,
and Vermont boys who served as sailors
and marines Boys from Brattleboro
fought in the battles in Cuba, in the naval
engagement near Santiago, and in the cam
paign against the Filipinos.
Brattleboro is not an exceptional town
in this respect. The Rutland News tells
of the return of DIR. E. Arlington Pond TO
Manila from linus, where he was in 20 en-
gagements against the insurgents, and
Lieut.. Robert ellison of Rutland, leading a
little band of marine reserves, mounted
the parapet at Carload and shouting
"Come on, boys" charged and drove back
a superior force, with numerous casualties
on both sides.
Editor Frank L. Green of the st. Adams
Messenger, whose life was in jeopardy for
weeks after returning from Chickamauga,
where he was captain of the St. Adams
company, writes wildly Of the memory Of
those long, weary, anxious months Of
watching and waiting, fighting disease and
death at Chickamauga in the summer OF
'9s, andin conclusion says:
'Inglorious ease'-think Of that first
train load of war-wearied soldier boys that
rolled into Burlington that Sunday after
noon in August and think of the three
train loads, scarcely better, that followed
it! Think of the upward of so boys in
blue who have been laid away beneath the
sod because of that summer of 'inglorious
easel Think of the wrecks of young
manhood that show today on the streets
of almost every town.
at was but very little bit that the
Vermonters were required to do, but a
very little bit, but they did it with all Their
heart and mind and soul, and never dis.
graced the blue uniform of their fathers
and their fathers's fathers. 1t was but a
very little bit, viewed with the cold i'm
partial eye of the historian, but o! SC
many, many souls went out forever and
so many, many hearts still ache and re
fuse to be comforted, all for that 'inglor
ious ease ="

For Congressman.
strong Endorsement OF Col. Hittredge
HRsIsins by a Caledonia County Pa
[From he Hardwlck aazette

From the Hardwick Gazette
At this time none of the candidates who
aspire to represent the second district in
the national Congress can be said to have
a lead sufficient 10 make him look like a
sure winner. Haskins, Plumley, Stafford
and Dale-all men more than ordinarily
endowed with those mental gifts which
90 to make men leaders-are in the race,
and before you read this the list may be
increased, although not probable. We GER
tainly should select for service at Washing
ton the very best man possible. He should
be man of sufficient mental breadth and
depth, and with a sincerity and honesty of
purpose, by his works to maintain and add
to Vermonrs high reputation in Congress I;
in fact we want a man there whose one
aim shall be to act for Vermonts best in
terest, and who, having that aim constantly
n view, has the ability TO accomplish IL.
To us, taking all things into considera-
tion, it seems of those already named the
Hon. Kittredge Haskins of Brattleboro
stands forth as the best equipped for that
work by reason of his natural ability, leg
islative experience, tact and knowledge ac-
quired by more than the average length OF
service in the state legislature. He was
always a student of public questions af
fecting the country at large, his service;
upon the stump have always been freely
| given in this, and in other states, In every
presidential campaign since 1864; he was
an original Mckinley man and predicted
his nomination and election at our STATE
convention in April of that year. Not on
ly that but he already enjoys an extensiv,
acquaintance with the public men of othe
states and with present senators and repre-
sentatves in Congress. probably, beyond
that of any other candidate.
His record in state politics has beer
clean and consistent, and in national poll
tics is a strong administration Republican
In the house, in the senate, and as speak
er of the lower branch, he has clearl,
shown that he possesses in a marked de
gree forensic strength and executive abil
ity.
Without attempting to detract the mer
its of any other Of the candidates, we can
not help saying that Col. Haskins is jus
the man the Gazette would like TO see sen
TO Washington to represent this district.

The position of the representatives of
Vermont in Congress has never been
equivocal on the subject of the suppression
of Mormon polygamy; nor has their oppo-
sition been confined to sentimental disap-
proval of simple denunciation. In fact
the history of the warfare on that ''relic Of
barbarism" shows that the state which gave
birth to Brigham Young, has been the very
forefront in the enactment of the measures
for the suppression of the national disgrace
of polygamy. 1t was Justin S. Morrill, of
Vermont who, when he was a congress
man, introduced and carried through the
first bill against polygamy. The Edmunds
law, as everybody knows, is the existing
statute Burlington Free Press.

24,O30,553 Tons of Freight Through
the 500 Canal.


Figures for the Sault Sainte Marie ship
canal, through which passes the traffic OF
the Lake Superior region, have been com.
puted to the close of November, leaving
only about 250,000 tons to finish the great
est year ever known. To December the
total tonnage of the canal was "a, $50, 553
tons of freight, an Increase of 3, 400, 900
tons over 1898. This is an increase of Is
per cent Food enough to keep a nation
from starvation was carried to the east and
to Europe through the canal this year,
amounting to 81, 279, 900 bushels of wheat,
27,6S0,000 bushels of other grains and
6,804, 900 barrels of -four. OF this -four
about 35 per cent was for direct export,
and nearly as great a proportion of the
wheat
The great bulk of the lake commerce of
the year has been iron ore, which has
amounted to Is, 900 gross tons. Vast
shipments of lumber have been made, in
all 1882, 900, 900 feet, for the markets of
New York and New England. Coal to the
extent of S24, 3S1 tons of anthracite and
10000 900 of bituminous has been received,
and this is increase of almost 800, 900 tons
in hard coal, despite which there has been
close fear of famine the coming winter
which only the unprecedented weather of
the past few weeks has dispelled. That
this 60 per cent increase in coal receipts
should not avail for the expected consump-
ton for the winter is an eloquent indica-
ton of the improvement in the West and
the increased buying power of the people.
There was an increase of 20 per cent in
the number of passengers carried.

Electric Roads In Vermont.

The coming year bids fair TO witness a
great improvement in electric roads in this
state. The Bethel and Rochester and the
Saxtons River and Bellows Falls roads will
be completed early in the year. The line
from Burlington to Hinesburgh will I'M
doubtedly be extended TO Shelburne. The
St. Johnsbury and Lyndonviile and the
East Barre and Chelsea lines begin to show
signs of life. These roads and many 9th
ers that might be built will prove of great
benefit to the farming towns off the lines
of the steam roads, giving them easy &C
cess to the markets OF the world and quick
and cheap transportation.-B Barre Tele-

To speak of club life among Indian
women at the first blush suggests heart

fact, that the Indian women of the state

the youngest member, will represent the
club at the General Federation of Women's

vERMONTERs HAVE FOUGHT
At Ell Caney, Santiago, In the Cam
paign in the Philippines,


1898 ms q Time OF 'InglorIOus Ease"
for the Vermont Volunteers Was n
Bad Lapsus.
[From the Burlington News.l
Cruel destiny has evidently decided that
Vermont warriors shall do no fighting in
our foreign wars.
San Juan and FL Caney were fought
and Santiago taken and the conquerors
starved on Alger-E agan embalmed beef,
and through it all our Vermont boys were
going through the manual of arms In in
glorious ease at Chickamauga.
In the lapse of time Capt Brownell and
his Vermonters started for the Philippines
and we cherished pleasing visions of their
exploits on the firing line, winding up with
the death or capture of Aguinaldo by the
gallant captain in single combat.
But alas for dreams of the laurel crown,
it appears that the insurgents in Panay
can't possibly be induced to fight the least
little bit, and all the Vermonters can do is
to run 'em through the island. No fight
ing, no glory, no sight of an insurgent ex-
cept in the act of sprinting for the woods
for dear life. The Vermonters can't bag
single Filipino, much less enough for a
mess.

BY deciding to spend her winter vaca-
ton on the Italian instead of the French
Riviera Queen Victoria has followed a
woman's natural instincts, quite regardless
of diplomatic procedure. After the gross
insults which French caricaturists were
permitted to heap upon her she was natur.
ally averse to mingling with such people
or encouraging them b. her presence In
their country. The French will look upon
her action as an insult TO them, and will be
all the more angry because of the cool man
ner in which 1t was taken, without apology
or explanation, the Queen thus clearly i'm
plying that there is no necessity for regard
ing France as of any account in the diplo

The water commissioners have petitioned
the legislature for permission to secure an
entirely new source of water for the CITY

supply from the junction of the middle and
eastern branches Of the Westfeld river, q
short distance above the Huntington sta

This would furnish water equal in quail.
ty to that of any city in the state, and
ample for place of 200, 900 people. The
limit of the cost of this is put at 81 300,
900, but it is thought it can be built for
considerably less. 1t will not be built the
coming year, and in fact not until the price
of iron is considerably less than it is now.

POLICE COURT.
A Few Arrested This Morning and
Will Be Tried This Evening.

Will Be Tried This Evening.
G. w. Montgomery was arrested by
Officer Clements last night and fined
81 for being drunk and down.
A man whose name can not be learn
ed entered the Tivoli saloon on Utah
street this morning ana commenced to
abuse gambler known as "Craps." 1t
resulted in the big fellow being badly
bruised. They were taken to police
afterwards released and Craps was
told to appear this evening and answer
the charge of assault and battery. w.
@. Phelps is also down with the same
string charged with assault and bat
terry.
It is also stated that Craps was not
intoxicated but that Phelps and the
man from the smelter whom Craps
beat up were both drunk. Phelps and
they got through Phelps walked out of
the saloon. The man from the smelter
walked up to Craps and told that he
would stake him (Craps) with plenty of
money If he wanted to shake dice.
Without word or warning Craps stood
up and commenced to beat his drunken
victim. Phelps stepped in and tried to
separate them and Craps turned his at
tention to him and beat him and kick
ed him numerically. Craps fought
him out onto the sidewalk and still
continued to beat him. The bleeding
man tried his best to get away and
started up Utah street but Craps fol-
lowed him as far as San Antonio street
and there put the finishing touches to
his job. Both Phelps and the smelter
man are badly injured and will no doubt
present q very attractive sight when
they appear in police court this even
ing.
