About the Brattleboro Count.

The legislative correspondent of the
phoenix is in error, unintentional of
course. in stating that the Brattleboro
error in the senatorial count was one
'mainly of ballots that We're more or less
defective. - The truth is that it was
clerical error due to the haste with
which the count had to be closed; the
Brattleboro board adopted the right
and only lawful rule of counting all
ballots where the intent of the voter
could be determined. But this rule
was not adopted in most of the towns
of the county, where between 200 and
300 ballots are known to have been
thrown out. a large part of them I'M
properly and illegally. So the Phoe-
nix CORES pondent is wrong in saying
that the Brattleboro change of y made
no 'materal difference. out of
Spencers majority of BIS. The truth
is that with other known errors and
the ballots thrown out such as the
elections committee decided ought TO
be counted. if the Brattleboro error
had reached 80 the result would have
been very close. 1t is doubtful now if
Spencers majority would reach 90 if
the full truth were known. But as it
was reasonably clear after the Brattle-
boro count, that there would be some
majority. Mr.. Davenport notified the
committee that he wouldn't ask it to
90 to the time and expense of further
recounting, if it would report the facts
about the rejected ballots 80 as to show
how lawlessly boards of civil authority
have been operating and what dan
ger there is under present laws that
methods elections will become simply
count-ins.
In fact. this was all the purpose he
had in the contest anyway. He never
wanted this or any other office and,
personally, was we'll content to be de
feated. especially after a run that left
only 80 or whereabouts out of normal
Republican majority of 5000, And Ger
tainly he has been more useful in the
past few weeks outside than he could
have been in the Senate

The last act in the life of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton who died last week, was
the dictation of letters to the president

fuence in securing the ballot for wo-
men during the proceedings of the

illustration of the devotion of a noble
life to principle, which, while its wis
dom and practicability is widely ques-
toned, has undoubtedly done much.

Two statements are given out III tins

what, the responsibility of our school
systems for the unsatisfactory results
obtained in educational lines A sci

tivity incapacitates for intellectual
work, and that. conversely mental la
Dor draws vitality from the muscles
This may explain the other statement
that our educated Indians are lazy and
worthless. An Indian is not by nature
industrious, and could never pay a
very heavy physical tax to his brain.
And on the other hand, the physical
culture and athletic tendencies of mod
ern times may be detracting from our
mental powers. 1t is worth while to
consider whether we have not been
rushing to extremes in both these mat
ters. A happy medium ought to be
possible which should give US passable
Indians and good. healthy American
citizens who would yet be mentally
capable of approaching the interesting
intricacies of the English language
and the delightful incongruities of
English photography.
