From the Rutland Herald. J


The recommendation of the United
States district attorney was based
upon bis belief that Mussey did not
retain the money which he abstrscted
from the bank The judge who tried
the case was under the same impress
sion, and so was Mr. Moloney, who
wss both of counsel for the govern :
meat in the trial OF Mcclure and of
counsel for Msssey. Moloney this in
bis professional capacity saw more
sides of the Merchants bank 1efalca-
ions than any other lawyer connected
with these prosecutions. Now Mo.
loney states in effect that Mussey was
not hee cited pecunisrily by his spec
ulstious.
With this showing, the president
was justified 10 considering the adj
visibility of granting a pardon. Toe
presumption would he small that all
OF these persoIse connected with the
prosecutions could be deceived. So
far As this part of the case is con
cerned, it rests with the critic news
nspers to show that the officials were
deceived and that Mussey did get some
Of the stolen money.
The other pointFurged in Mussey's
favor, viz: That he wts 10 "a dying
conc ition is matter Of opinion. The
phi, sicans said that he was dangerous
ly i'll He has since bad a surgical
operation performed upon him. and is
now apparently on the road to recov-
cry. If it cau be shown that the ope-
ration was unnecessary and that it
was part CT conspiracy which in-
cluded some pretty good professional
then the critic news
papers can consistently DO nothing
less than agitate for an Investigation.
Little is to he gained by firing into
tbs air and iudulgiog in underlined in
Certainly the president
cannot be Justly blamed in the matter.

MATTERS AND THINGS
FROM VARIOUS VIEW POINTS
the Representation Question.
From the Randolph Herald. J

On its merits, there is OF course
only one side to the controversy the
system Of Vermont legislative repre-
sentaton. but when you have speedily
arrivet at the only conclusion That
sane judgment will allow that the
House ought to be made up on q basis
of population instead of upon basis
of population instead of towns-you
are confronted with the fact that ii is
not 50 made up, never can be until
the towns voluntarily agree to adopt
the other system, and that seltishness
is aud is likely to continue more
powerful factor in politics than rea-
son and judgment. Imagine the mem
bfrs form Glastonbury, Son erset ard
Baltimore voting for the political OBJ
liberation of their townsi Has the
bearing OF representatives from these
ard other small towns ever given re.
mote INDIGESTION of such lack of self
interest? Does not each town value
its privilege OF sending man to
Montpelier blennially far above any
ethical right of the people as r whole

equable basis? The change can never
be made, We are forced to believe.
