The reason, Signor Mosso tells us,
why so few have attempted the as
cent of the highest peaks on the

that man cannot withstand the rare

Superintendent Morrow of the
Vermont Anti-Saloon League and a
friend were in Washington recently
and made personal investigation of
the famous capitol saloons. MIR.
Morrow tells us that the first thing
he heard as he entered the door of
the restaurant was a walters call for
"'two whiskey cocktails" Another
waiter, after sizing up his visitors
and probably taking them for M.
C's., said, $50 on into the farther
room and Liquors will be served
there" "We found Seats" to nse
Mr.. Morrow's language, "and the
wine list was handed us, and we saw
men drinking these liquors" We
are not told whether the saloon is
provided with mirrors.-Bellows

In all fairness, says the Spring
field Republicans Vermont CORE
spondent, it would seem that Editor
Livingston of Bennington, whose
suit against ex-Gov. Page came to
an abrupt termination through an
adverse decision of the court, and
who has publicly charged the press
of Vermont with having repeatedly
accepted money for their political
views in past campaigns, should
either proceed to prove the charges
or withdraw them with a confession
of his mistake. Livingston pro-
fessed to have in his keeping proof
sustaining the charges, but now that
the newspapers have fired at him a
volley in contradiction and defiance
of his statement, it brings the mat
ter to a point of honor as the accusa-
tons are either true or false. and
Mr.. Livingston can hardly afford to
leave the matter as it is.

DEPEW A DIRECTOR.
y Rutland dispatch of Jan.

y Rutland dispatch of Jan. 6
says:
1t was learned this morning on
the best authority that Wallace {.
Clement has resigned us a director
OF the Rutland railroad and that
Senator Chaunccy NJ. Depew has
been elected in his place. MIR.
Clement is brother of President
Percival W. Clement and has been
a director for many years.
1t was learned that President
Clement has sold nearly all his
stock to DR.. W. Seward Webb of
Shelburne, so that the latter now
has between 60 and 10 per cent. Of
the whole.
1t looks now as though the kut-
land railroad would, within a very
short time, pass entirely out of the
control of the Rutland men who
have heretofore had charge of the
system, and made it one of the lead
ing railroad systems in all New
England.
