THE NEW DEPOT PROPOSITION

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found a synopsis of the L. & n. Rail-
road Company's proposition to build
new passenger station at Coldm-
bia.
Such an important and wetghty
business proposition cannot be pre-
sented and considered and discussed
all in one day. We present it to-
day for your consideration. We will
discuss it later on. We shall try to
treat it intelligently and impair
italy; giving to those who may
differ with us the free use of our
columns for any courteous reply of
reasonable length.
In the Railroad COmpany's pro-
posal the site suggested is a good
one, and the structure planned all
that could be asked. In their eX-
penditure of money and what they
propose to do, they are liberal
enough. But the concessions they
ask from the city are expensive and
burdensome, and in some respects
unnecessary, we think, and will not
meet with public favor.
The tunneling of South Main street
would destroy the beauty of the
street, would greatly damage prop

pay for) and is entirely unnecessary
The Company should be requested
to waive that point.
The closing of High street, both to
vehicles and pedestrians, is another
serious objection. That might be
overcome by tunneling that street
or bridging it. Or compromise
might be reached by closing it en-
tlrely to vehicles, but building a
foot bridge, with easy incline, for
pedestrians. That is worth con
sidering and discussing.
The section regarding the sewer is
ambiguous or meaningless or cloudy
and should be stricken out entirely
The opening of the new street
north of the railroad tracks, from
High to South Main, and the closing
of Garden at the intersection of this
new street, will not be seriously OBJ
jected to, we take it; nor will the
proposed extension of Twelfth street
though some changes might be made
in the route.
These are the principal features
and in their discussion there neeC
be no intolerance on either side
The Railroad Company, virtually
ackr owledge the necessity for anC
their willingness to build a new
depot. Their pror osal is sugges
ton, we take it, and not an ipse DIRT
We hope they will accept REASONABLE
amendments, and that the city will
meet them on fair and REASONABLE
terms, and that the improvement
can be had. Neither side should b.
unreasonable or stubborn; and boil
sides should avoid getting at logger
heads.

much more concerned about the
property interests of the country,
than the happiness of their own peo-

they so silent when the Peeler bill
was before the Senate, aud why have
they been so silent since upon all
the temperance measures proposed ?
Can it be that their great fondness

THE constitutional conventio
question is not a political one, and
the democrats ought not to try to
make it so. There is growing i'm.

more safely done by amendments
than by convention, and that this
could be done if it were not fol the
convention crowd in the Shelby del
egation who have private reasons OF
their own for preferring conven.

Now it turns out that the Census
returns have been padded in a Re-

adding the names of all who had

This was done on the advice of Rep

THE Standard Oil company in
Washington has been warning pa

we are rapidly coming to in many
things besides oil.

My dear sir:
Accept my thanks for your editorial
in the last issue of the TINES in reply to
the editorial in the St Adams Messenger,
which expressed the opinion that Mr..
Rockefeller's money should have gone to
the sta'e university, 1t may be well to

of effort. Ii any one for moment thinks
that all Vermont academy has CAMEL in
the past two Yeas ha, come simply for the
asking, that one has forgotten one OF the
fund amental laws OF our life.
No one doubts, a, you so ably state, that
there is need for first class fitting school
in Vermont. Such school is demanded
not simply by the welfare OF our colleges,
but by the educational interests OF the state
in general. There were last year in the
university at Burlington - undergradu-
ates, who had been prepared at Vermont
academy. Has any other school done 90
much tor the state coll g'P 1t is not gen.
orally known, l think. that Verm n. acsd-
envy stands in very close lation to the
leading colleges of New England and the
middle states. The COURSES of udy now
cff.rt have ceived the ,unqua Allied ap-
prevail OF all the lea ling educators Of this
section of the country; the list includes
nearly all the presidents OF the smaller col
leg and the adj 6 officers Of H ,rvard

In order to accomplish the work of q
great fitting school, the very best teaching
