Big Cannon for sedgwIek Post.

from the United States government to
Sedgwick post, G. A. R. 1t is to be 20
pound Parrott gun weighing about 100
pounds, and it will be shipped from Brook
Ign navy yard. 1t will be mounted here
and placed on the common near the SOL
diers' monument. Near the gun will be
placed a pyramid of about two dozen Z
inch shells which will be shipped with the

Kittredge Haskins a short time ago stat
ing that the government was issuing to the
Grand Army posts the condemned and OBJ
solete muzzle-loading cannon now held at
the different navy yards and that if Sedg-
wick post would make requisition to the
commandant of the navy yard at Brooklyn
or Charlestown stating the size of the gun
wanted it would be shipped together with
the shells. These guns have been dis
placed by the modern breech- loading rifles.
The Parrott gun is somewhat longer than
the other styles.

Review Of the Discussion of the Ma.
ter. - - -. - 49, "A
Contracts we're made by the Bratteboro
bailiffs Saturday for the repairing of tho
fire department steamers Nos. and 4 II
is evident, therefore, that the discussion NJ
the merits and defects Of these steamers
which has occupied large share Of the
time at the village meetings for the past
three years, will be dropped. The con.
tracts were made with the American Fra
Engine company of Seneca Falls, y. Y.
which built the steamers. The COMPANY
will send another steamer to Brattleboro
at once to take the place of the steamers
which will be shipped TO the factory and
repaired-No. 4 first, then No. 3.
steamer No has been in the service of
the village Is years-eight years more than
the guaranteed life of any steamer. An
agent of the American Fire Engine com.
pany who inspected the steamer in lsg7
reported that the boiler was bulged and
badly strained, that the pump was badly
worn and that the wheels were rackai
An article was inserted in the warrant for
the village meeting that year to see if the
village would vote to have the necessary
repairs made, but it was dismissed pending
the result of an effort to secure a reduc
ton in the fire insurance rates in Bratte-
boro village.
Although condemned by expert author.
ty the steamer was used another year with
out the needed repairs, and at the village
meeting of 1898 the matter was again
taken up. Chief Engineer Turner asked
that the bailiffs be instructed to repair the
engine, but he finally withdrew his motion
and the bailiffs were ordered to sell the
steamer and buy two-tank chemical en-
CINE.
Another year passed, during which the
work of both No. and No. 3 steamers
was defective, and in their report for the
past year the baiiffs stated that they had
taken no action in regard to selling steamer
No. 1 and buying a fire eXtinguisher for
the reason that they were not able to find
a purchaser for the steamer and that they
were not clear that it was advisable to DO
so.
Chief Engineer Turner advised that
both steamers be put in repair and that
the village buy combination hose and
chemical wagon instead of a straight chem
ical wagon as voted last year. The feeling
at the last village meeting seemed to be in
favor of adopting Mr.. Turner'S suggestion,
but the matter was finally left to the dis.
erection of the board of bailiffs, with the
result as stated. The bailiffs were instruct
ed to buy a new hose cart, but whether in
addition to this they will buy combina-
tion chemical and hose wagon cannot now
be stated.
The cost of having the steamers COM
pletely overhauled will be about 5000
S1400 for steamer No. and 5000 for
steamer No. 8. This is about $500 less
than the estimated cost made at the village
meeting in 1897

Business Men Favor MIR. Bardy.,I.

A petition asking for the retention of
James A. Bardwel in the position of man
ager of the local office of the Western
Union Telegraph company and signed by
50 Of the business men and business firms
of Bratteboro was forwarded yesterday to
Thomas Roche of Boston, superintendent
of the New England division of the COM
pany. AS was stated last week Mr.. Bard
well was asked to resign the position
which he had held for 10 years because of
the desire of the company to reduce its ex-
penses. Mr.. Bardwell has not resigned,
and the petition was circulated by A. w,
Childs in the hope that it might prevent
Mr.. BardwelPs removal. Every person to
whom the petition was shown signed it
willingly, and many other signatures might
have been obtained. The petition was
supplemented by several individual letters
TO the company. During Mr.. Bardwelrs
many years of service for the company
not word of fault has been found with
his work. The business of the office has
fallen off during the past few years, but
this has been largely due, as was stated in
some of the letters to the company, to the
fact that the office is not as conveniently
located as it should be.

The Special Session.
On the 18th day Of December last my prede-
cessor issued his proclamation converting the
legislature in special session. The constitution
provides that the governor may on extraordi.
nary occasions convene the legislature by pro-
clamation. 1t is hardly necessary to say thai
at the time Of the issuance OF the proclamation
no such extraordinary occasion existed. The
most liberal Interpretation that can be given
these words is that they mean pressing nee
essity If any necessity existed for legislative
ction on the 18th day of December. 1893. it ex-
listed with equal force during the last regular
session, and would have existed with equal
force at the converting of the Legislature in reg
ular session less than thirty days afterward
No intelligent person can be deluded into the
belief that an extraordinary occasion was the
real cause for calling the members Of the legs-
latnre together.
The convocation of the legislature such
short time before the regular session, and such
o short time after the people had rendered their
verdict in collation. of the spirit if not the let
ter Of the constitution, to perform legislative
acts every one Of which would be Of doubtful
validity was establishing a dangerous prece-
dent and was q menace to the cause OF popular
government There is a widespread sentiment
that the calling of the special session was not
within the limitations of the constitution. II
this should hereafter prove to be true, then all
the laws passed ut such session would be un-
constitutional and void, and the issuance of the
proclamation stand without justification or ex-
cuSe.
The ready response Of the members Of the
legislature to the call of the governor was
great compliment to that body, and strong
illustration of the adaptability OF our system
of government to changing onditlons. A large
number-if not large majority-of the men,
bers did not believe in the wisdom of an extra
session and did not think the extraordinary &C.
caSion mentioned in the constitution existed:
and yet this coordinate branch Of the state
government gave prompt obedience to ths
proclamation of the executive yielded its own
will and obeyed the call without questioning
the right.
