Sig. Marconi's latest achievement ia his
greatest. 1t opens illimitable possibilities
for the development of telegrsphy without
wires. From the coast of Newfoundland
to the coast of Cornwall in England, a
distance OF 1,700 miles, messages were sent
and received. The course for the messages
between the two points is clear and unob-
structed, and there was nothing that could
interfere with the experiment. except unfavor-
able atmospheric conditions. There was
such interference at the first attempt, but
later there was no disturbing influence, and
the result is a triumph. The commercial
value OF the Marconi system had previously
been demonstrated by Interchange of mes.
sages between incoming ships and shore
stations and between ships at sea. Proof
that it is practicable to send messages in
the same way over such long distances is
merely another indication that we are yet
in the primer period Of electrical knowledge.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Oatarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby des-
troying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist

curative powers, that they offer one

TOM REED.

Tom Reed of Maine is dead and we
are sorry for it. There are few men in
public life that tie country could less
afford to spare. Tom Reed was u
great man and good man. A quar-
ter of a century of warm friendship
taught us to know him in that close
and personal aspect that is commonly
destructive of the abstract and public
apprehension of a man. Did it de.
tract from his figure? Not bit of it.
He grew bigger and broader and great
er and more loveable with each sue
ceeding year; and now that he is
gone we know our loss to be irrepar-
able Never. never again, shall we
look upon the like of Tom Reed.
He was Il splendid character and
there was nothing in all the length
and breadth of our land that was more
American than he What privilege,
what an honor, to have Tom Reed for
a friend He was politician, but we
always thought he was a poor poll
tician. He never drew dishonest
breath. The man was the soul of hon
esty. He was statesman in spite of
himself.
Big in body, big in soul, grand in
every quality that should denote or
adorn man, Tom Reed leaves great
and deplorable emptiness where he
stood.
1t is grievous thing that he was
not suffered to stay here yet a little
while, for his possibilities of good
to his country and of service to man.
kind were at their greatest.
Farewell, true friend, brave heart.

WILL CARLETON ON CAPITOL
MOVING.

In an editorial article in every
where, "Will Carleton discusses Cap
ltol moving. After citing some in
stances of changes in other States he
says, concerning the bill introduced
in the Vermont Legislature:
State capitals seem to have been con-
sidered, generally, more in reference
to location, than co nmercial suprem-
acy. Thus, Detroit is u much larger
city than Lansing; New Orleans than
Baton Rouge; Philadelphia than
Harrisburg, etc. But here comes a
hill in the Vermont Legislature, pro-
posing that the picturesque old town of
Montpelier shall be deprived of its
capitoline glory, and the more popu-
lous burg of Burlington, away off at
the west side of the State, and pretty
well north at that should reign in
its stead.
Whereat, no doubt, there are hurry
ing to and fro and signals of distress
Gas George Noel Byron would say, in
the dear old historic Vermont baill-
wick. Real estate owners will, of
course, lead the procession of iudigna-
ton; and after them will come long
and varied line of people, giving what
they regard as good and substantial
reaons why the government machinery
should not be disturbed; and there
exist, no doubt, some very good ones
On the other hand, cogent argu-
ments are advanced in the affirmative
1t is stated. for instance, that the
present Capitol building is a crazy in
significant structure as compared to
those of other cOmmouwealths and
that Burlington will erect new one,
free of charge to the State. This must
have weight with the people of the
Green Mountain districts, who are
proverbially thrifty, and know nick
OIL from quarter.
In The second place it is maintained
that living costs too much at Montpe-
lier; and it is thought that Burlington
would be more tolerable in that re-
spect. The high-priced Pavilion" at
the former town, is too rich in it's
blood for many of the farmers and
mechanics who are sent by their
townsmen to make and mend laws for
them-some of whom do not scruple
to get board just as cheaply as they
can; indeed, it is on record there that
members of the Legislature have
sought living places where, as they
expressed it, they could "do chores
for their board ~
AS for Montpelier's being nearer the
center of the State, it is argued that
this tact, i'll such small common
wealth, is not of much importance as
rapid railroad trains make it matter
of only few hours, anyhow. And
