The most disastrous fire in the his

of Ell. A. Hale & Co., was burned. The
damage is estimated at $4,000; one
hundred and fifty men are thrown out

In the death of Dorman B. Eaton,
who Gied Dec. %, the state looses a
devoted son and the contry one of it's
ablest statesmen. He was born in
Hardwick, and graduated from the
University of Vermont in 1843. He
studied law and became member of
the New York bar in 1850, where he
speedily gained leading place. He
first came prominently before the
public as an opponent of the Tweed
ring and later and longer as an active
advocate of civil service reform. He
studied the problem abroad, crossing
the Atlantic many times upon this
errand. In the pursuit of that work
he was chairman of the civil service
commission under three presidents
Grant, Arthur and Cleveland A
four 5h president, Hayes, sent him to
Europe on reform errand He drew
the national civil service act of 1883,
as he also drew the laws reforming
New York's police courts and Great
ing its board of health. Mr.. Eaton
was buried at Montpelier Tuesday in
the family lot.

The sad days work was now soon

that time. We had met the enemy
and we were his. We had done our

hundred and eighteen men were made
prisoners to be carted off, most Of
them to die in Libby, Andersonville,
Salisbury, Charleston and Florence

ders." Whose orders, and why?
There are SO many different versions
for the responsibility of this affair
that will attempt no new explana-
ton. Sufficient to say that it was
''Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die,
Not tho the soldiers knew
Some one had b1undered.'

The Island Pond Herald contains
the following statement from Col.
Porter III. Dale; SIN the matter of the
congressional campaign in the second
District you have authority to state
my position, as follows: The sugges-
ton of my name, the press comments,
and the advice of good friends have
had thoughtful consideration, and
while my business interests make it
impossible for me to engage in per-
sonal canvass, whatever support for
this Office may come naturally and
heartily to me will be as naturally
and as heartily appreciated. 1 con-
slider the ambition honorable, have
weighed the conditions, and you may
announce that 1 am an aspirant for the
place, and a candidate at this time"
Col. Dale is well qualified to fill the
position to which he aspires and will
receive strong support from this Sec
ton of the state.

The British Government has acted
on the agreement and treaties for the
partition of Samoa and has withdrawn
the supervisory authority which it has
exercised of late years in common
with Germany and the United States.
This probably accounts for the recent
report from Samoa that the German
flag had been raised as the withdrawal
of British influence leaves the Germans
practically alone in authority, the
United States having withdrawn it's
sphere of ofinhuence to Futuila although
this branch of the agreement has not
been ratified by the United States
Senate. AS far as Germany and Great
Britain are concerned their interests
were settled in treaty to which the
United States was not a party. This
treaty provided for British withdrawal
from the Islands of Upolu and Savaii
and the German transfer to Great
Britain of certain islands in the South
Pacific. This treaty has already gone
into effect, as it was not delayed by the
requirement of submission to the
United States Senate and acting on it,
the British authorities have withdrawn
theirIsupervisory participation in the
government of Samoa.
