Vermont Fires-and State Printing.

The annual report of the Vermont In
surance commissioners came to hand
yesterday. 1t gives a detailed list by
towns of all the fire losses in the state
during 1900 The total loss in Windham
county is placed at $27,462. Toward
this sum, if the record is correct, Brattle-
boro contributed S2113 with "a fires;
Rockingham, $3.50 with II fires; Hall
fax, S6472 with four fres Westminster,
S3059 with five fires; Townshend, S2S97
with five fires. The largest loss was in
Chittenden county-$230,5 0s-Burling-
toms contribution being S149,3 Rut-
land county comes next with a total of
$14S, 557. The total for the state is placed
at 1907, 729.
Under the administration of Wynkoop
Hallenbeck Crawford Co., the new state
printers, two new towns are added to
the Windham county list-'London-
berry, and Westminster In the
summary by counties, Lamoille figures
as "Lamville." Shades of Carroll S.
Page! The question is, do the commits
sioners of state printing mean to pay full
price for work of this kind. Any Yer

such ignorant and inexcusable blunder-

Who's the Niger in the Pile !?

Some newspapers which are anxious
to appear properly subservient to certain
political interests in this state are now
cudgeling Gen. j. G. Mccullough through
o. NJ. Tinkham. 1t is quite fad with
certain mastery editorial minds to ridi-
Guile Mr.. Tinkham, and these same polt-
ical bondmen eagerly make the oppor-
tunity and then avail themselves of it to
place Gen. Mccullough in false posi-
ton. Tinkham is the means, Mccullough
the end. 1t is by such adroit mental
strategy as this that they are able to
snarl at Gen. McCullough's heels by Glib
ing and chattering at Tinkham. have
not the slightest knowledge as to the
wishes, or-if he has any-the political
ambitions of Gen. Mccullough, but have
absolute and certain knowledge as to the
scheme now evidently on foot. And
finally, either this sort of political meth
DDS are going to be relinquished or some
substantial facts are going to be stated
which will double somebody up like a
cholera morbus hospital rolled into one
case. Gentlemen, you can not elevate
your man by pulling down and defling

One st. Johnsbury Sunday.

From the irresistible evidence of hard
facts it appears that Vermont rum riot
contains startling and exclusive features
which no other country or cline can APP
preach. A fish and game league enter
tainment has demonstrated this. but
these halcyon and vociferous events are
like Christian Endeavor meeting in the
vestry as compared with the ghost dance
said to have been pulled off at the Avenue
House. st. Johnsbury, one week ago last
Sunday by a party of dozen or so viva
cious and strenuous commercial tourists
as related later by members of the party.
Doors were smashed in, beds were thrown
into the middle of the floor. dressing
cases, mirrors and all, were smashed and
thrown on the bedding and everything
breakable in the vicinity was added to
the various wrecks of the kind No
blame whatever attaches to the proprie-
tor of the house, who supplied nothing
to drink and was utterly powerless to
prevent the devastation. This is the
story told by members of the'Flashlght
club, who were here day or two after
telling the story and exhibiting their
trophies of broken plate glass mirrors.
This paper has the names of the partici-
pants, and may publish them later,
And this is the record of a Sunday in
st. Johnsbury!

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
How to Inspect a Railroad

The Brattleboro Phoenix shows lamen-
table ignorance of the duties of the rail-
road commission in suggesting that when
it inspects railroad it ought to take
along practical railroad builder to
report on the conditions of the roadbed.
This is almost equal to somebody's re-
markable suggestion sometime since that
a practical railroad builder or at least an
experienced mechanic be placed upon
the commission. 1t is an unwritten law
that Vermont railroad commission
must be composed of politicians, and
that the true way to inspect railroad
bed is for the members of the commits
sion to ride over it in the president
private car along with railroad officials

A Tame Accommodation.

Tolstoi, the Russian novelist has been
accommodated by the Greek church.
1t is proclaimed that the church no
longer considers him one of it's members
and places his apostacy on record. The
Burlington News says:
This is tame indeed. Compare it with
the tremendous accommodation in
''Tristram Shandy," and how lacking it
is in JUNCTION and power and comprehen-
siveness! The Hebrews used to do bet
ter. In the 10th of July, 1856, in the
great Portuguese synagogue at Amster-
dam the Ecclesiastical Council pro-
nounced a decree of communication
against the illustrious philosopher Bene-
dict Spinoza (Baruch de Espinoza), as
follows:
By the sentence of the angels, by the
sentence of the saints, we anathematize,
separate, and curse and execrate Baruch
de Espinoza with the consent of. the
Ecclesiastical Tribunal, and with the
consent of all that holy community be-
fore the holy Seraphim, with their six
hundred and thirteen precepts that are
written in them, with the wrath with
which Joshua cursed Jericho, with the
malediction with which Elisha cursed
the children, and with all the maledic-
tions that are written in the law; cursed
be he by day and cursed be he by night;
| cursed be he in his sleeping and cursed
be he in his uprising, cursed in his going
out and cursed in his entering in; may
| the Lord refuse to know him, may the
fury of the Lord and his jealousy be hot
after that man, and lay upon him all the
maledictions that are written in the Book
of the Laws, and may the Lord blot out
his name from beneath the heavens, and
may the Lord separate him for evil from
all the tribes of Israel, with all the NAL
| edictions of the armament that are writ
ten in the Book of the Law; and you,
cleaving to the Lord your God, may you
have life!
| But take notice, that none may speak
with him by mouth, none by writing,
none show him any favor, none be under
the same roof with him, none within the
distance of four ellis from him, none read
any document made or written by him.
