past two years on account OF i'll health. For
that reason he has written his resignation
and placed il in the hands of Governor
Rollins tor use when desired. AS soon as
news to this effect leaked out sharp can
vass for the succession began. The rail
road managers picked out James T. French
OF Moultonborough for the place and prom
ised IT to him, French is chairman of the
railroad committee OF the. house and very
well known politician.
No difficulty was anticipated in electing
him to fill the vacancy. But Governor
Rollins interposed an emphatic negative on
the proposition. Mr.. French opposed Mr.,
Rollins in the gubernatorial canvass OF 1898
and the governor does not wish to have an
enemy in position so close to him as that
OF secretary of state, Therefore the efforts of
"Unele John Sanborn, Ira Drew, Paul Lang
aud other railroad champions have so far
proved ineffective in driving enough mem
bers into the fold to secure Mr.. French's
election. Yesterday new element was
introduced into the contest in the person
OF Senator Gsllinger, letters from whom
were produced to show that French ought
to have it, or at least that certain other
| candidates must not have it. To this the
governor replies that until he is assured
that French cannot be elC cted the resigna-
ton OF Mr.. Stearns will never be accepted.
| The other leading candidates for the
place are James f. Dodge of Manchester
and Edward N. Pearson of Concord, both
of whom have many earnest friends and
supporters. 1t is impossible at this writing
to predict the outcome.
Quite a sensation was caused in the
house yesterday by statement made by
Mr.. Little of Manchester in the course OF
the debate on the bill giving members OF
the board of aldermen of that city an
annual salary. Mr. Little stated that he
had been offered cash bribe to use his
influence for the bill Clough of Man
chester said he had been threatened with
a boycott in case he did not vote for the
bill. These statements had sufficient weight
with the house to procure the defeat OF the
bill by an overwhelming majority.

Five Cent Fares in Montpelier.

The managers OF the electric road run
ming between Barre and Montpelier, being
the same Burlington gentlemen who are
interested in the Bellows Falls and Sax
tons River road, are having trouble because
the fare between the two cities has been
raised from FIVE to ten cents. 1t is claimed
that under the franchise the road is bound
to maintain FIVE cent fare. The Mont
pelier Record says: 1.-The condition relat-
ing to the fares the railway shsll charge i,
the fifteenth and is as follows:
The fare for riding upon the lines Of said
company within the city limits shall not
exceed five (5) cents, and said company

Where CoIeridge Was wanting.

Coleridge has a lamentable want of
voluntary power. If he is excited by a
remark in company he will pour forth
in an evening, without apparent effort,
what would furnish matter for hun
dred essays But the moment that he is
to write not from present impulse but
from preordained deliberation his pow
ers fail him, and I believe that there
are times when he could not pen the
commonest notes. He is one of these
minds who, except in inspired moods,
can do nothing, and his inspirations are
all oral and not scriptural, And when
he is inspired he surpasses, in my opin-
ion, all that could be thought or imag-
ined Of a human being. Charles
Lamb and the Lloyds,' by E. V. Lucas.

visits OF parents to the schools and the
keeping constantly informed of the child's
standing are not only helps but are neces-
sary. The entertainment showed what the
children are capable OF doing under COM
petent training. And here must disclaim
all credit for the success Of that evening.
1t was entirely the work of the teachers
and in justice all credit must be given to
them.
q am glad of this opportunity to pub
licly call attention to the great interest
taken in the schools of this part of the vii
lage by the members of the board residing
at Walpole and Drewsville. The Rev.
Mr.. Keep, the Rev. Mr.. Pratt, Mr.. Barnes
and Mr.. Putnam, besides fulfilling the or
binary duties of their position in most
commendable manner, have given much ex-
! ira labor and, to them, valuable time to
the consideration OF the need of our schools
here, and by their advice and encourage
ment have contributed to great extent in
bringing about the improvements you so
much appreciate. More than once have
they allowed the other schools to wait un-
til North Walpole was served. They have
labored in an unselfsh manner for the
good of all the schools, and with the linz
tied means at their disposal have striven
earnestly TO make them success. l can
not praise these gentlemen too highly.
You can show your appreciation OF their
efforts by giving them the necessary means
to continue the work this can be done by
voting an increased appropriation. 1t may
mean slight increase in the taxes; but it
also means paying investment for the
good of our children and consequently the
prosperity of the town.
