Not to Be Repudiated,

The Rutland News comes to the de-
fence OF Ex-Gov. Page in the matter of the
charge that the recent State and first dis
trict republican conventions were packed,
OF in other words sold, saying that we
'hould not jump at conclusions. If the
News" had been fair enough to quote
What we did say instead of talking about
What we said it would have shown that We
quoted the words used by the Earth"
which recently became Mr.. Pages organ.
The Earth" spoke distinctly and def
Itely of the packing of the recent con-
Tentions with railroad ticket and hotel
Inner delegates" Moreover the charge
,ad been reiterated without restraint by
various other Page papers, so that Mr..
Page is to be fairly held responsible for
the statement Under the circumstances
il is not surprising that the Page papers
now seek to repudiate the charge, but it
will not wipe out.

Final Adjournment Of Congress.

The introduction in the national House
Monday of a joint resolution by Com
gresham Payne of New York, the repub-
iican leader providing for final adjourn
ment of Congress on Wednesday, June 3,
confirms the often repeated announcement
that the majority would end the session
early in June. This means of course
that many important measures which
We're expected to pass Congress during
the present session will 30 over to the
snort session next December; and mas
much as presidential election always in
tcrferes with the work of legislation as
well as with business in general, 1t would
undoubtedly be better to postpone any
matters of this kind than to try to rush
them through without proper considera-
ton. The Nicaragua canal project will
probably not be delayed materially by the
failure to ratify the Hay Pauncefote
treaty during the present session, for
there are numerous questions which the
engineers must solve before our govern
ment would be prepared TO act under any
circumstances. Nor will various other bills
suffer by waiting.
It is very evident that the republicans
do not intend TO give any democratic
President another opportunity TO call for
the smashing of the tariff in order to re-
duce an increasing surplus. II is an

a wise step for 1t will save the country
