THE GOVERNORSHIP.
CFrom the Burlington News,)


Doctor Webb has formally drawn out
Of the governorship canvass. This sud
den and startling change in the confess
rrvolutionizes the situation. Fletcher d..
proctor has come in and DR.. Webb has
gone out, and the contest will still have
only two sides. The one takes the place
of the other And more, Col. Proctor has
many good friends IN all parts oil lhe
State. lie has a large following that
would support him in preference to any
other man. And he will receive hearty
support from thousands who have not
vet ALIGNED themselves, and other thou
sands who have been claimed-and per-
laps were acting in half-hearted way
with one or the other of the earlier
candidates.
ME face, the externals, Of the canvass
have not only changed, but the entire can
vass il rcVolutionized and must now b.
fought on now lines and with new wea-
pons The canvass is no longer, as m ny
have depreCatingly said, contest be
tween Sew York millionaircs.' 1t is no
longer a contest between two men born
outside Of Vermont--both of whom, let
us saw were and are men of large capaC-
ity and sterling qualities, and either of
whom would honor the office and the
State in the governors chair. 1t Is low
a contest between an able sterling, dem
ocratic modest, practical typical citizen
/
equally good citizen of Vermont who was
born outside the state. In this situation,
and having in mind the criticisms Of the
/ canvass as conducted thus far, there can
be little doubt in the minds Of care fu
and unprejudiced observers of the result
The News has never had had any sym
patty with the slogan, vermont fol
! Nermonters." Such "A cry shows IA mar
row, provincial spirit which augurs il
for the progress and prosperity Of STATE
! that has sent out thousands of its citi
zens to earn wealth, honors and office II
sister States Of the Union. But that spiri
and that slogan Is with us, and must b,
reckoncd within this political confess
at least. Thus reckoning, we predict th'
nomination by the republican State con
vention Of Fletcher D. Proctor-becaus'
he Is a Vermonter, because he Is worthy
Nermonter. because he Is In every wa,
fitted to hold the office Of governor an'
will honor it as the office was honored BY
his famous father before him.

A Fossil Quarry.

One of the most unique quarries
in the world exists near the town
of Kemmerer, Wyo., at an elevation
of $500 feet above sea level. This
quarry is worked by hand, no blast
ing being permitted owing to the
fragile nature of it's output. The
latter consists solely of fossils, most
sy those of few varieties of fish.
In operation the shale is split into
slabs, broken with sledge hammers
and thrown over the bank by hand.
When the slabs containing the speci-
mems are cut and taken out they are
very moist and have to be dried out
to about one-third of their original
weight. After the drying has pro-
ceeded far enough to permit OF the
easy manipulation of the material,
the fossils are carefully cleaned by
means of special tools devised for
the purpose. Many of these fish fos-
sis are exceedingly beautiful, every
bone being plainly shown in the out
line. They rank as the finest speci-
mems of fossil fishes yet discovered.

A Peculiar Position.

The position of queen consort is a
peculiar one. She cannot claim to be
crowned, but the dignity is conferred
by the king to equalize her position
with his own. The queen consort's rev.
enue is now settled by parliament in
the same way as the kings, but she had
in olden times several sources of in
come distinct from the kings. In the
sDomesday Book mention is made of
particular sums reserved for the use
of the queen. One such entry is for
purchasing oil for her lamps, another
to furnish parts of her wardrobe. If
a whale vas stranded on the coast,
it was supposed to be divided between
the king and queen, the head being
the kings property; the rest of the
fish, being plentifully supplied with
whalebone, was devoted to the re-
quirements of the queens wardrobe!
These peculiar rights have, no doubt
died out, parliament voting a definite
sum for the proper maintenance of
her majesty's household and the dis
charge of her personal expenses.-De-
troit Free Press.
