A HISTORIC CONTEST.

Bellows Falls, May 25.-The select
men of Walpole, on the New Hamp-
shire side OF the Connecticut River,
have under consideration the increaS.
ing of the tax assessment OF the Bel
lows Falls Canal Co., which is now
taxed 800, 900 in Walpole and $685.
600 in Bellows Falls, the Walpole as
scssment having been raised last year
from $50, 900 to 800, 900.
The New Hampshire authorities
claim that the value OF the canal is
not in the ditch in Vermont soil but
the river, whose bed, to the waters
edge on the Vermont side, has belong
ed to New Hampshire since the days
of the contest between New York and
the New Hampshire Grants, when the
boundary line was fixed and has never
since been changed, the fact having
been repeatedly acknowledged by
courts OF law in their decisions.
This state line On the Vermont side
is at the low water mark, or at the
point where vegetation ceases. Wal
pole does not claim that the water
of the river is taxable but that the
real estate under it is, and that the
principal tax should be paid in Wal
pole.
The canal company contend that
the boundary line established by the
crown in the days Of the New York
and New Hampshire Grants contest
comes very nearly in the center of the
river now, the building OF the dam
having widened the stream and chang
ed it's direction, SO that the low water
mark of colonial times was altogether
different from that Of the present day.

The docket of the Supreme court

A Question of SmOthering,

The contest between conscience
and political duty, says the Atlanta
Constitution, is now troubling many
able editors throughout the land.
The Tlmes-Herald. discussing
some recent democratic platforms,
is much concerned about an attempt
to smother" some political issues.
The "smothering'' complained Of
does not appear to have been alto
gother satisfactory, but The Times.
Herald is none the less concerned
because it was even attempted.
1t is hardly possible for q demo,
cratic convention to satisfy the
quirks Of an editor who is troubled
by political indigestion. That the
Porto Rican scandal sits badly upon
many republican stomachs has been
vouched for by The Times Herald
and consumed by republican legis-
latures. The infamy has been accom-
plished and deserves today all the
opprobrium which was heaped upon
it during the preliminary discussion.
The Tmes-Herald denounced the
Porto Rican bill as unconstitutional,
as infamous, as so at variance with
common honesty that the congress.
men who voted for it should not be
reelected.
But what about the president who
urged it md failed to use his veto
power to prevent it? When he is
renominated, and that, too, upon q
platform indorsing oil that has been
done, what kind of "smothering"
will be resorted 10 by rhe Times.
Herald?
Will The Times Herald come out
In u manly way and oppose the con
firmation ofa policy which II has
~ bitterly denouueodi Or will II
"smotber' It's conscience, and swal

Biting a File,

The Globe Democrat is amusing
itself and others. says the Kansas
City Times by assuming that in
Missouri a dozen men or less make
the democratic nominations, and
that the poor, duped members of
the party then walk up like sheep
and vote the ticket previously fix
ed for them.
Its own columns refute this ale.
cation every day. If democrats
have a conspicuous fault it is their
unwllllngness to submit to party
discipline, even when It's necessary
to success.
Everywhere in the state this year
there have been large and enthu-
siastic meetings of the most inde-
pendent people that breathe on this
round earth, Missouri democrats,
and they have made their own
choices for the various positions.
Because they are united upon
number oftheir candidates, and not
disposed to quarrel over the selec-
ton of others, the republican
fugelman pretends to think the
nominations Of the democratic party
in this state are made by a few,
The widely different affiliations of
the men, as we'll as the manner in
which the county conventions have
discussed and acted thus far during
the campaign, prove the absurdity
Of the charge.
The Globe. Democrat will find
the Missouri democracy united this
fall, despite its efforts to divide it,
1t is engaged in its old-tlme practice
of gnawing a file. Let it gnaw.

One Lesson of the Cuban Frauds.

The developments in the Cuban
postal scandal, says the Chicago
Record, which are growing more
serious and discredltable the more
the subject is probed, should serve
to put a stop to the cant that is
made to do service as argument by
some of the more hysterical cham
pions of a colonial policy. The
management of island possessions
is very difficult problem, but when
tlese difficulties have been pointed
out they have been met by the SNUG
assertion that the United States is
great enough and pure enough to
make a success. Of whatever 1t NAV
undertake. In the Cuban postal
defalcation we have reaped the
natural results of the policy which
contents itself with self-satisfed
announcement Of the purity Of the
intentions of the nation, while leav-
ing the actual work Of adminlstra.
ton to carpet-baggers who owe
their appointments to political in
Auence. The Havana defalcation
has already done much to briug us
into discredit among the Cubans.
Unless there is q radical change of
system in dealing with island de-
Tendencies other scandals newt
ably must follow. Congress has
already paved the way for scandal
in Porto Rico by providing for the
disposition of all franchises in the
island under a carpet.bag regime.
Tho selection of American spoils
p0lltlclans 10 take part In the work
ofgovernlng newly acquired islands
can bring but one result.
Although it is deeply humiliating,
it is we'll, perhaps, that the shock
should have been serious enough to
exercise a SOLDERING influence on
those who entered upon the colonial
policy so jauntily. Hereafter it
should not be possible for advocates
of the new departure In the direct
ions of colonialism to wave aside
all difficulties in the way of its
successful execution by an appeal to
lingo sentiment.
