A Question of Responsibility.

EDITOR REGISTER: There has arisen
here quite question as to the response
bility for these mall posts that have been
placed so near our road tracks. Who
is responsible for damages done by any
one running into them, say on dark
night, and breaks perhaps an arm or
leg or Injuries himself for life? Some
one is surely accountable for damages
done. Parallel cases have been brought
up and damages collected here before for
instructions being placed Ia highways,
and people supposed they were account
able for placing anything on highways
to cause damages to passers by. But
now, in order to be sure of their mail,
people are requested to place posts and
boxes near the track, and in many cases
this proves to be dangerous place, as
some one is very apt to collide with them
on dark night. Now the question is
who is responsible for this damage when
done. AS understand this is a govern
ment order. Who is responsibility one
who has the post set or the governm ent
| wish some one who is authority would
answer this question through the REGIS
TER, so we may know what we are doing
and not 60 ON blindly in the matter.
j. FRANK RANDALL.
West Cornwall, VT, Jan. IL, 1902.
This is a fair question for a lawyer.
We believe our correspondent will find
that the federal government is re-
sponsible. All city mail boxes arc
federal territory" as 1t were, and are
under the special protection of the
government. Any violation of the con-
tents of mail box or injury thereto Is
punished by the United States authorities
alone, so it would appear that any dam
ages occasioned by such boxes or theiI
immediate supports Is chargeable to the
federal government. But those sustain
ing such damages should be sure thai
the boxes come under the legal desig
mated of Constructions" and are actually
in the highways as originally surveyed
for damage suit against the government
is not small undertaking to enter upon
involving as 1t does heavy costs In case
of failure to prove claim.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.

"
There is not much change to note in the
butter market since a week ago. A steadier
tendency on fine stock can be reported, be.
cause the supply OF that kind is light, but
medium grades are quite plentiful, and on
these buyers have the advantage. Receipts
OF fresh were comparatively small last week,
and II they continue in the same ratio this
week the situation may turn more in favor of
sellers on all good grades. Most receivers OF
port "a cents a top price for trade lots, and
many stated that they found II hard TO move
lots at over % to 23H cents. The latter range
seemed to cover more of the fresh Northern
goods on the market than any other price,
as the quality in most cases Is decidedly
wnterish. The sales OF storage creamery
were principally ut 20 to 81 cents including
ern stock refuse to sell under % cents, hut
are making very few sales. For large por'
ton of the stock Is to 10 cents Is all that hold
ers are asking, and we understand that some
lots have been purchased Mt II cents for
export.
4 firm tone is maintained in the cheese
market. Demand has been moderate, with
sales OF finest fall twins at ll4 ana ll1S cents.
These are mostly in strong hands, and AS
there are none OF this kind TO come forward
they are held with confidence. Other.grades,
including late encs, take II wide range, as to
quality, say from to l0R cents.
Although in general egg receipts continue
light, there are more new laid Eastern arriv.
ing and the extreme prices previously quot
ed cannot be obtained. Very few receivers
are now pay ing over 30 cents, and large
are still scarce, and most sales are at % TO so
cents, with 25 TO 81 cents for ordinary. There
Is now little difference between Eastern and
Western goods.

The attitude of the United States
government in China appears to have
been at all times in keeping with the
humane and justice-loving traditions OF
our land-in contrast with the conduct
of affairs in the Philippines. The pay
ment to Minister WI Ting Fang OF
1876, 900 to reimburse his government for
silver looted from Tientsin by our mar
ines Is one more example in line with
those that have gone before. And Incl
dentally 1t confirms the looting charges
made during the Boxer uprising. But
does the government accept the footing
as a matter of course, and are no step;
to be taken to recover from the hooters
A matter of $376, 900 seems worth look
ing into, even if the treasury does hap
pen to have more than 1t knows wha
to do with.

The state department has issued re-
port on the worlds ship-buldng for the
year 1900, wherein it shows that the
United States stands second only to
Great Britain in the number of ships
turned out during that time. 1t will be
noted that this record was made without
the assistance of ship-subsidy law.
Germany fosters this industry on the
subsidy plan, yet it appears that she was
not able to rank the United States last
year. Such facts as these are decidedly
damaging to Mark Hanna's proposed
raid on the federal treasury.

A Sudden Death.

Mrs. Walter Wright died Wednesday
morning about 8 80 o'clock, it is thought
from the effect of some narcotic poison.
Mrs. Wright had been out of health for
some time, suffering from a nervous
trouble. Her husband found her about
II o'clock Tuesday night in highly
passed into Inconsistencies. Mrs.
Wright was the only daughter of DR..
and Mrs. Virgil w. Blanchard, who, with
her husband and two young daughters,
survive. DR.. s. S. Martin, who lives in
the house, and Drs. Noble and Russell
were called in the case, but found it i'm
possible to bring Mrs. Wright to con-
seriousness, although they worked all
night. The funeral will take place Sat
urday after noon at ! 80 o'clock.

1t is somewhat difficult for the real
American to keep a grave countenance
when he reads about a German-American
"entente." Since we've become world
power" there has suddenly sprung up
great desire on the part of European
governments to establish their cordially
of feeling for America; and straight
way some devotee of the language
Of Imperialism describes the resultant
interchange Of friendly notes as an
"alliance" or an "entente." Probably
we shall read next that Prince Henry
will come authorized to "ratify" the
"entente" between the United States and
Germany.

We see by the Utica Daily Press that Miss

has given lecture on "Some Italian Cities. y
1t will be remembered Miss Bingham went
abroad last summer, and is now able to tell

"Miss Anna NJ. Bingham, teacher of English
and Latin in the academy, delivered the
lecture, her subject being Some Italian
Cities Prof. Hodges had charge of the cleo
trio stereopticon, which worked beautifully
The cities chosen to illustrate were Naples anc
vicinity, Rome, Florence and Venice. Mis-:
Binghams descriptions not only showed init
mate acquaintance with the cities themselves
but were beautifully worded and delivered If
most delightful manner" This is but an
extract of the many words of praise. We
know many other friends will join us in oul
pleasure at her success.

The small pox has reappeared on the New
York side of the lake, about one and half
miles from Port Henry. A daughter of Fred
Mckenzie, who had been attending school in
Plattsburg, contracted the disease and came
home. Many people were exposed before the
character of the disease was discovered.
| Mr.. Tracy and a number of ladies and gen
tlemen, all in a double pleasure sleigh, crossed
the lake at Wilkinson's ferry Sunday, on their
way to Port Henry. While leaving the lake
on the New York side a bad strip of road
upset the sleigh and started the horses on q
runaway. They ran nearly mile before they
were caught None of the occupants of the
sleigh were injured, nor was the team.
