BRATTLRBORO:
FRIDAY, JANUARY II, 1901.

Gov. Odell of New York has been
looked upon as a politician of machine
proclivities. but since his election he
has given evidence of being a man Of
ideas, of convictions and purposes.
He has the opportunity to make a
record as chief executive of New York
which will bring him conspicuously
into national affairs. Gov Black also
had this opportunity. but his subser-
vience made him little more than a
puppet and he has passed out of the
public eye completely. The possibili-
ties which are before Odell may be
seen in the records of the 80 men who
have served as governor of the Empire
state. Two of his predecessors be
came president Ave were elected vice
president, two others were defeated
candidates for president, six held va
rious cabinet positions, two or three
occupied first class missions, one was
chief justice and ten were elected to
the United States senate. AS list
of names, the roll Of New York's gov
ernors stands very high in American
history.

WEALTH IN OUR HILLS.

This week we have the news of the
formation of a company in Fall River,
Mass, with $5OOOOO capital to develop
deposits of asbestos in Lamoille
county; last week brought to Orange
county people the cheerful announce
ment of the proposed increase in the
copper mines in Vershire, where hun
dreds of hands will be employed; a
few days further back additional capi-
tai was invested to increase the out
put of the Mortified slate qparries.
The broadest outlook for increas-
ing the population and wealth of Yer
mont will come not so much in at
tempting to reclaim abandoned farms
as in developing our mineral and
metal resources. Barre and Hard
wick are conspicuous examples of ex-
pansion and prosperity which have
been gained through such policy.
There are deposits of marble, granite
and slate in the state not now worked
that could be developed with profit.
The marble quarries in Dorset gave
employment to 500 hands years ago
and the reduction in the working
force there to a mere handful was not
due to lack of marble or inferiority in
its quality.
1t has remained for the people out
side of the state to first take hold of
the asbestos quarrying. There are
extensive deposits of this mineral, not
only in Lamoile county, but in other
counties in the state. The United
States has gone to other countries for
years for practically all of the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
of asbestos which we have used
About 200 miles from the Vermont
border, on the line of the Quebec Cen
tral railroad, are asbestos quarries
where hundreds of men are employed
and it is probable that the deposits in
this state can be developed to rival
those in the nearby province in i'm
portance.

The Fall of an Aerolite.

The American Journal of Science
gives an account of the fall of a
meteoric stone last summer at Allie
gan, Mich, as seen by Walter Price
of that place. Mr.. Price, who was
about ten rods from the place where
it fell. heard first a loud report in
the sky. followed by a rumbling
sound, lasting some minutes. He saw
a black object in the sky. coming
toward him. As it passed. 40 feet
away, it gave out a sound like an en-
gine blowing off steam. and left be-
hind blue streak some six feet long
The meteorite fell in a street of Al
Logan, throwing up the sand and bury
ing itself foot and a half in the soil
When the meteorite a few minutes
later. was dug up by Mr. Price. the
soil for a diameter of four feet was
too hot to he held in the hand. The
meteorite broke up at its fall. and the
largest part, weighing about sixty
two pounds, has gone to the United
States Museum at Washington, d. c.

Grip is epidemic in Washington and
several other cities. President Nc

be compelled to stay in bed several
days.
Australia became one of the world
power Jan. l, when the six colonies
were merged into a federation with
a constitution patterned after that of
the United States. Australia has a
population of about 10000 and area
about equal to the United States, ex-
cluding Alaska
The American physicians who have
been experimenting with yellow fever
in Cuba have come to the conclusion
that there is no contagion from an in
fected person or from infected cloth
ing, but that the mosquitoes alone are
responsible for the spread of the dis
ease.
F. H. Crandall of Burlington was
chosen president of the New England
Water Works association at the an
nual meeting held in Boston Jan. 8.
Vim. E. Hawks of bennington is one
of the vice presidents. The associa-
tion has membership of 600, includ-
ing representatives and specialists in
every division of the field of water
supply engineering and maintenance.
Membership in the association, and
the accompanying knowledge of con-
temporary experience in the water
works business. is of great value to
the water works arrangements par
ticipating in it.

New York Tuesday night of pneumo-|

district of New York for 80 years.
He was appointed in March of 1865,
and his appointment is said to have
been the last judicial one ever made
by President Lincoln. He resigned
in 1897. He was the son of Prof.
Wyllys Benedict, formerly editor of
the Burlington Free Press, and was
for years a member of the university
of Vermont faculty. His mother was
Miss Dewey, a member of the Ver-
mont family which gave Admiral
Dewey to this corntry. He was born
in Newburgh, N. Y, in 1924.

The burlington News thinks the re

The Burlington News thinks the re-
duction in the number of federal
liquor licenses in Vermont from $50
in 1899 to 442 in 1900 is accounted for
by the enforcement of the injunction
clause of the state law in several
counties, and adds: But there is
little to boast about yet. The state
still has one liquor license to every
~ nhabitants-a larger number
than proposed by the high license
bill which recently failed to get the
approval of the assembled wisdom
and virtue" of the state.

The house committee on rivers and
harbors points out that. while the
Missc i river has practically the
same tonnage in the course of a year
as RaccOOn creek, New Jersey, it has
received appropriations amounting to
S10,903, $50, whereas Raccoon creek
has had but $4,000. The comparison
may seem absurd, but it helps to
point the moral that appropriations
are too often governed by political,
ther than business, considerations,

The fire losses in the United States

The fire losses in the United States
and Canada in 1900 reached the enor-
nous total of s173 3.699.015. an amount
in excess of any year since the great
Boston fire. The figures for 1899
were s136,773,2 200, and for 1898 Sl19.-
$50, 500 Although the loss in 1900
was greater than the preceding year
by s36.925, ,S15 there was little change
in the experience of the fire insurance
companies in the United States. as
the losses of the Ottawa and Hoboken
fires were underwritten abroad.

Potato Pingree went from the gov
ernrship of Michigan into private
life with splutter of fireworks from
his oratorial magazine. The courts,
the legislature and the press were at
tucked in turn. Pingree made a re-
cord as governor in one respect. He
pardoned 45O prisoners in state insti-
tutions. About 140 were pardoned
outright and given full privileges of
citizenship, and the other paroled on
good behavior.

The st. Johnsbury Republican
thinks the Republican of distinguish
ed ability who is in line for the ap
rointment" as collector of customs in
the Memphremagog district is either
eX-Gov. Pingree of Hartford or Rail
road Commissioner Prouty of New
port. Pingree may have the itching
palm, but Prouty already holds down
job which is bigger in emoluments
in honors and opportunities than the
cOllectorship. 1t is hardly probable
that he cares for the office. The hui
lahaloo was general against oustine
Merrill III the Vermont district. The
reasons advanced tor lis continuance
in Office seem to apply with eGIsll
force to Collector Mansur. Only a
venturesome man will throw down the
gauntlet to Mansur.

The House Of Representatives
lodged the question Of apportionment
again, just as it did ten years ago, by
providing that no state shall have a
smaller number of representatives
than at present and the total member
ship will be increased from 357 to 1856.
Several of the states did not relish
the idea of being shorn of their
strength, the men from Maine being
particularly aggressive, fearing that
their number would be dropped from
four to three. There is no good rea-
son to believe that the business of
Congress will be expedited by the in
crease, but berths will be given to
more politicians and the government
will foot several hundred thousand
dollars more on the debit side.

Such quiet sleep has come to them!

Nor do they know If ii be snow

All day the birches bend to hear
The rivers undertone;
Across the hush a fluting thrush
Sings eVensong alone.

The winds may sob and stir
On the still breast of peace they rest,
And they are glad of her
They ask not any gift-they mind
Not any foot that fares;
Unheedly life passes by,
Such quiet sleep is theirs.

Mckinley and Harrison are said
to be at loggerheads. Harrison
silence during the campaign was re-
garded as an affront in administration
circles. The feeling engendered then
has undoubtedly been intensified by
the unceremonious cancelling of the
commissions of Mr. Harrison's son
Lieut.-Col. Russell Harrison, and Mr.
Harrisons former private secretary,

as well as by Mr. Harrison's Ann Ar

knew, or now know, to be prejudiCed or
biased in the matter Mr. Blaine had
wee in the House, as he did everybody.
He had, as Speaker, never assigned to
me any place on committees which was
specially agreeable to me, and had put
persons, whom | thought less entitled to
such distinction, into the Chairma nships
OF the committees of which | was
member. But he was undoubtedly en-
barrassed in this matter by the large
number of representatives, from Massa-

gratitude or for complaint. But | had

his official influence, or ever received or
desired to receive any compensation for
any exercise of his official influence, or
his official power, l think the spirit and
manner in which the charges against
him were pressed and argued before the
people, scarcely if at all, less disgrace
full than would have been Mr.. Blaine's
own conduct If the charges had been
