In Hard Lines.
From the Bennington Reformer, Frank
T.. Howe, Editor1


Gen. Grout is in the wrost predicament
that fate ever placed him. He has Just
written a letter to the Randolph Herald
and News in which he states clearly and
cogently that he is not a candidate for the
senatorship unless he is a candidate, that
he won't be candidate for the senator
ship without being a candidate, and n
few more similarly lucid statements that
ring with no uncertain sound, but these
are not what got him into trouble In the
course of his letter he quoted the saying:
Evil to him who evil thinks" and said il
was an old Morse proverb. Most of us
didn't know whether it was from Morse
or from Ben Tillman, but the state au-
thority on ancient history, the Burlington
Free Press, says the saying dates from a
social function pulled off in the time of
Edward III of England. Being defeated
for United States Senator is a trivial mat
ter compared with getting caught attri-
buting testimonials to the wrong almanac

The Roman Catholics as Taxpayers

The Roman Catholics as Taxpayers.
Rev. Father Reynolds, in this week
Bellows Falls Times, comments upon
figures given in this column two
weeks ago regarding the percentage
of the grand list of this town which
is paid upon by Roman Catholics, as
bearing upon the price of the old High
school building. This is in the hands
of a committee to sell to the Roman
Catholic diocese for parochial school
purposes if terms can be arranged up
on satisfactory to both. The figures
referred to showed the appraisal of
property paid upon by Catholics to be
only II per cent and after adding
the polls the percentage is IA per
cent of the whole. Father Reynolds
mentions the Rutland railroad as, pos
sibly, having some Catholic stockhold-
els, and also, perhaps, the Interna-
tional Paper company. The Rutland
road has no grand list here and pays
no taxes in this town. Possibly there
may be some holders of stock of the
International company, but none liv-
ing here. Although Father Reynolds S
article occupies nearly column, the
above is the only point made, and his
article adds weight to the figures Civ
en- two weeks ago.
Little progress has been made in
the negotiations for sale since town
meeting. The committee of the town,
consisting of the selectmen, school
board, and town clerk had a meeting
last Saturday, only one member being
absent An informal discussion was
had and marking" upon price in

result it is understood the marks va
ried between $4,000 and $4,000.
Another meeting is to be had tomor-
row. when it is expected the whole
committee will be present. and per
haps some communication made with
the committee of seven appointed by
members of st. Charles church.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Political caldron Boiling in North
Walpole.

Citizens of North Walpole have
been deeply interested in politics of
the town the past two weeks, the ques-
ton being principally as to who
should represent the town from this
end on the board of selectmen 1t Is
understood that two questions, that
of the enforcement of the prohibitory
law. and the changes in proposed
grades by the Boston & Maine railroad,
caused the lineup" between the two
candidates, William J. King and Dan
iel Connors. Town caucuses of
Democrats and Republicans were held
at the town house in Walpole Satur-
day evening, March 1. the former be-
ing held up stairs in the building and
the latter down stairs. AS both can
didates over whom the contest waged
were Republicans the interest cen
tered principally in that, but both eau
cuses named the same candidate, viz,
Mr.. King A special train went down
from here carrying 140 voters who
took part in the contest The total
vote was 1873 of which King received
95 and Connors SO. The regular ticket
was then made up, consisting of Chas.
e. Seward, VIM. ]. King and George
w. Kingsbury. During the next few
days Connors's friends rallied about
him, and as a result of a petition of
SIS citizens of the north end an indie
pendent Republican ticket was put in
the field, consisting of Daniel Con-
nors. N. w. Holland and Chas. E.
Seward. At town meeting Tuesday
everybody went down, both forenoon
and afternoon and the largest vote
was cast ever given in Walpole. The
result was surprise to everybody, as
both the North Walpole candidates
were defeated and the selectmen are
all from the south end of the town
this year-N. w. Holland, G. E. Sew
ard and George W. Kingsbury. The
total vote cast was SIG, and Holland
had 1888, Seward 80, Kingsbury 300,
King 2SS, and Connors 210. There
were probably $50 votes cast from
the north end of the town. Naturally
a feeling of disappointment exists
here at having no representative on
the board, and the friends of each
candidate are laying the blame upon
the other.

Reunion of Vermont Academy Alumni
in Boston March S.

About 40 alumni and friends braved
the storm in Boston last Wednesday
night TO attend the annual dinner of the
Vermont Academy club of Boston at
the Somerset the hotel made famous by
the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia the
day following.
The special guests of the occasion
were Rev. W. II. p. Faunce. president
of Brown University, and DR.. Edward
Ellery. principal of the academy. Sax
tons River was also represented by Mrs.
Ellery. Miss Lucy Daniels of the faculty
and Mr.. Foster b. Locke of the academy
board of trustees. Gen. julius j. Estey
of Brattleboro, who had hoped to be
present and whose untimely death came
two days after the reunion was repre-
scented by Rev. DR.. F. f.. Marble, pas
tor of the Baptist church at Bratteboro,
which Gen. Estey attended. Rev. Albert
Hammatt and Mrs. Hammatt of Bel
lows Falls were other Vermonters who
went to Boston especially for the occa-
sion. The after-d dinner exercises were in
charge of the president. Geo M. Dim
ond. The speakers were President
Faunce of Brown DIR. Elery of the
academy; Rev Hammatt, and Trustee
Locke. An orchestra discoursed music
during the dinner and there were mu-
steal numbers by Miss Lacy and DR..
Ellery which contributed much to the
pleasure of the evening
The reading of a letter purportlng to
have been received from Prince Henry
created no little merriment.
The letter read as follows: at Is with
regret that I find that I shall be deprived
of the pleasure of meeting the members
of your club at the Hotel Somerset. Bos-
ton. on Wednesday evening March g.
| am informed by the gentleman who ar
ranged the itinerary for my party that
we shall not reach Boston until Thurs
day morning. March 6. several hours af-
ter your festivities will have come to
an end. The Institution in whose honor
| you are gathering I find on consulting
the map of New England is located at
SaXtons River a city near by Boston.
and this and your school I may give my
self the pleasure of visiting later on.
My illustrious brotherhood der kaiser
expressed the wish before I left Ger
many that I might see some of the lead
ing educational institutions of your
country. / need not say that st. Louis
has no college; in New York saw only
big hotels and turn halles. and in Wash
ington l was told that the Smithsonian
Institute had closed for the spring va
cation, so I shall make n point of see
ing educational America while I am in
your city. Again expressing regret for
the circumstances which will keep me
from your dinner I am with best wishes
and hearty VIE gents to you all,
Yours truly,
