THE POKER SUIT.

The now famous poker suit of Sage
VS. Nelson is ended Senter and SEN
ter, attorneys for the plaintiff, Fri
day discontinued the suit and the
whole matter is done with. it appears.
The suit was returnable today at 10
o'clock before NJ. E. Smile as Justice
and the defendant stood prepared to
fight the case through all the courts !,
so this action is somewhat of dis
appointment TO those people who
were wanting something unusual lin
the line of court news.
The discontinuance did not result
from any compromise or settlement,
and not a cent was paid by the de-
PENDANT to secure it.
1t appears that in this matter only
one side has been shown up at all and
that there was another side which
would have come out if the case had
not been dropped, which would have
put Senator Nelson in much differ
ent light than have the, Sage inter
viewers printed recently.

AS TO COAL, LOCALLY.

II. A. Dubuc, the coal dealer, says
that the prospects for coal here
in Montpelier are as gloomy as ever.
No coal is on hand at present and so
far as he knows none on the way here.
A carload of pea coal came in Thurs
day for the Langdon estate and the
day before that Mr.. Dubuc had car
load. But it was gone almost as soon
as it arrived being gobbled up by the
anxious people who are out of coal.
At the State House the supply is al
most gone, barely enough being left to
run for week the one boiler now in
use. Sergeant-at Brock hopes
to get furthur supply before this is
gone but is not over confident of sue
cess.

"Why, in Congress, in both branches,
the party in power appoints every com
mittee. Just remember that and don't
ever forget it. Every committee in the
Senate and i'm the House of Represent

power i'm that branch. In the present
House of Representatives every COM
mittee is appointed by the Republican
Speaker. In the Senate every commit
tee is appointed by the Republican
Senators in caucus. Legislation in
Congress comes through committees.
The mighty interests of the Republic
are so great that it is impossible for
Congress to listen for even d few mo-
ments to incidental matters. The 3ar-
ty in power selects committees for
each particular branch and the very
best men to grapple and deal with
these questions are placed upon them,
and the majority of every committee
of an important character in a Repub-
