New YOrk's Dynamite Horror.

New York city has another horror,
this time dynamite explosion which
occurred at the corner of Park avenue
and 41st street, killing six persons,
injuring many and doing million
dollars damage. 1t occurred Monday
noon. Workmen engaged on the
Park avenue rapid transit tunnel had
a quantity of dynamite estimated at
about 200 lbs. weight in small shanty
and in some way as yet unexplained
it exploded with a concussion that
shook the entire city and did more or
less damage in an area of So blocks
about. The Murray Hill hotel, which
was nearest the explosion, was badly
wrecked and fora time bade fair to
fall in complete ruin. Three persons
inside were killed. The Grand Union
hotel and the Grand Central railway
station one block away, both suffered
severely. Almost panic followed
the explosion. An investigation as
to the responsibility for the accident
is under way.

WILL OF THE PEOPLE EXPRESSED
IN THE LEGISLATURE.

The Rutland Herald in commenting
on the article which appeared in the
last issue of the MONITOR under the
head of Rather Inco nsistent", says:
"The MONITOR, which is an old
fashioned prohibitory advocate,
frankly admits that no law can stop
drinking and that the sympathy of
majority of the people must support
the law in order to make the officers
understand that they are to do their
duty. This puts the officers in an
awkward position. They are under
bonds to suppress the liquor traffic,
which the MONITOR admits no law can
stop, and yet public sentiment is ap-
pealed to to hold up the hands of the
officers. Now, why does the MONITOR
stand out against an appeal to the
voters on this issue? 1t sees no hope
il the people are hostile to the law.
he most direct way to meet this
emergency is 10 find out what the
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1902-02-03

people want. As we look at it, every
obstruction set up by the prohibs to
prevent a referendum on this subject
or the passage of local option law
only dams up the flood that will
eventually sweep this state. The
longer the voters are denied the right
to pass judgment upon the repeal of
the law the more severe this judg-
ment will be against the embargo of
private opinion that has been despot-
ically maintained in this state for
half century,"
The MONITOR believes that if there
was very strong sentiment in favor
of doing away with the law it would
be shown by larger vote in the con-
test in the legislature. Other ques
tions of Importance and in which
there is great deal of interest man
ifested throughout the state are set
tied in the legislature without a call
for a vote by the people and why
should this case be made an excep
ton? The law has been left to en-
force itself and has been abused in
many sections and this lack of en-
forcement leaves it open to the at
tack which is being made upon it.
While we do not wish to see the law
repealed we are glad that it is being
discussed as it's weak points will be
shown and those who favor the law
will find that they must see to it that
it is enforced.

The Vermont Fish and Game league
banquet has come and gone. 1t must
have left some mingled recollections
of pleasure and. disappointment to
both of the leading candidates for the
gubernatorial nomination, Gen. ]. j.
Mccullough and DR.. w. Seward Webb.
While the majority sentiment of those
who attended the meeting was prob
ably in favor Of the Bennington candi-
date, the feeling among the supporters
of both DIR. Webb and Gen. McCul-
Tough, as expressed, was that if GER
tain other gentleman-Fletcher D.
Proctor, of course-would become a
candidate the prospects of their can
didate would go a-glimmering.-Rut-
land NeIUs.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1902-02-03

The first actual skirmish between
the forces of Webb and Mccullough
occurred at the Fish and Game League
meeting at Burlington last week. AS
near as we can Judge, it wasindecisive
in results. Both sides were we'll and
numerously represented by the more
active politicians of the state, who
have already made choice between
the contending chiefs. AS to which
had the greater number, opinions diff
fer and quite naturally. There were
400 or 500 men present, and in so large
a number it was impossible for any
one man to see and talk with more
than few on the engaging theme of
the hour. One might chance to find
more Webb men and another more
favoring Mccullough. Naturally each
would talk with those of similar views
Accordingly, bolh parties retired full
of encouragement, satisfied with the
showing made.-Rdndolph Herald and

The investigation into the cause of
the recent railroad disaster in New
York, in which several lives were lost
in collision in tunnel, has resulted
inthe discharge of the engineer who
was held as the culpable one and the
finding that the officials of the road
have neglected improving the con-
ditions although they had been often
warned that the danger of accidents
was very great as the engineers were
unable to see the signals. 1t is the
custom when there is a railroad ac-
cident to punish the engineer or con-
ductor when the blame often times
rests on the management of the road,
and when once the blame is placed
where it belongs and those who have
neglected their duty are made to
suffer because of it, there will be a
great decrease in the number of ac-
cidents on the railroads of the coun-
try.

The following editorial from the
Boston TrdUelIer shows that when a
difficult mission is to be accomplished
and man is needed who can be
relied upon under all circumstances
there is a call for a Vermonter.
1t also points to the fact that
the people of other states hold
our senior senator in the same high
esteem in which he is held by the
people of Vermont.
"Wouldn't it be we'll to send Senator
Proctor, or some other representative
with conscience, to investigate con-
ditions in the Philippines and report
to the people of the United States
real existing conditions there?"
