Fourteen Perished in Lincoln House
Fire in Chicago.

Fourteen persons met death in a fire
in the Lincoln hotel, 176 Madison street,
Chicago, at o'clock yesterday morning.
Little damage was done to the hotel, but
the smoke was so dense that the persons
who met their death were overcome and
died before assistance could reach them.
Many jumped from the fourth-story win
dows. others tried to save themselves by
climbing down, the fire escapes In the
front of the building only to lose their
grasp on the cold iron bars, and fall to
the street. The persons sleeping in the
rear of the building on the top floors had
no chance for their lives. narrow
stairway leading to all floors of the
structure was afire, and the escape of
the dodgers in the rear of the building
was cut OF.

SilVer's Drop.

If the price of silver continues to
drop it may catch the late lamented
McGinty at the bottom Of the sea.
The intrinsic value of the silver
dollar at the present time is about
33 1-3 cents. An American gold dol
lar represents $2.S5 in Mexican silver
coin. People in Mexico who sold
goods when silver was higher, or who
made contracts when silver was worth
more, will suffer severely, because the
large dealers bought goods, especially
foreign wares, for gold and paid for
them in gold, and will receive payment
in deprecated silver. China, too, is
embarrassed by the fall in silver.
nifty question was signed the value of a
tael was fixed at three shillings, and
now it is only a trifie over two shill-
ings China will, therefore, have to pay
payment of 12,SS9,0O0 taels, the sum
of 100000 taels. The United States
government held more than $1,315,-
100000 in cash on October l of this
year, but of the cash $5O6,545,711 was
in silver, of which the market value
would be about 95,OOO,OOO. The
United States is rich, and strong
enough, fortunately, to carry this load
of silver, but conditions would have
been far different if this country had
attempted to carry the silver product
at the ratio of 16 to /.

The Work of the Courts Set at Nausht.

The Work Of the Courts Set at Naught.
The legislative committee appointed
to examine into the mental condition
of the murderers, Doherty and East
wood, have reported them insane, but
there is no sane person, acquainted
in an unprejudiced way with all the
facts, who has any idea that these
men were insane, or not fully res
ponsible for their acts, when they shot
their victims. We once more ad-
wise the members of the Legislature to
get the last volume of Vermont Re-
ports out of the state library and read
for themselves the facts as they were
presented to the judges of the SUI
preme court, especially in the case
of Doherty.
The regular course of procedure
will now be to commute the sentences
of these men, send them to the Wat
erbury asylum, and then, after a suit
able time has elapsed, find that they
have recovered" or are in harm
less condition" and turn them loose.
1t is significant fact in this con-
nection that Gen Mccullough has
already pardoned two murderers un-
der sentence of life Imprisonment
since he became governor-J. Sher-
man Caswell, who deliberately shot
George Gould at East Montpelier 13
years ago, and, this week, Stephen
s. Wyman of Andover, who killed his
man some 15 years ago.
1t is a sober question for sober
minded people to ask themselves:
What does the able, careful, and pains
taking work of our courts amount to
in the face of such a course on the
part of the legislature and the chief
executive of the state?

The best will in the world has been
discovered. We might expect to find
it IN the soul of some of those noble
types of manhood or womanhood
which dedicate their lives to helping
suffering humanity. But that guess
would be all wrong. The best will
in the world has been discovered
through a confession. Listen to this
soft, sweet modulation from the New
York Evening Post: "If any man can
detect an underlying philosophy, a
clear grasp of the subject as a whole,
about the tariff he can do more than
we, with the best will in the world,
are able to-"

New Hampshire's Constitutional Con-
vention.

New Hampshire's Constitutional Con-
vention.
The New Hampshire constitutional
convention, which convened Tuesday
of representation in the legislature,
but other important matters will be
considered, including the inheritance
tax and trust measures. Plans will
also be proposed for creating the Of
flee of lieutenant governor, abolishing
the governors council, and for filling
county officers by appointment.
The present New Hampshire legis-
lature is the largest legislative body
in America, its membership of about
400 being larger than that of the
National House of representatives.
At the present time any town or ward
having 900 population is entitled to
one representative. with one addition
al for each 1900 population over 600.
Towns with less than 600, of which
there were 70 in 1900, are given rep
resentation such part Of the time as
their population is proportionate to
600.
II the membership is reduced to 100
New Hampshire would still have a
higher per capita representation in
the legislature than any of the states
except Vermont, Rhode Island, Con.
necticut, and Georgia, which still ad-
here to the antiquated system of rep
resentation for each town. Some OF
the ablest men in the state are mem
bers of the constitutional convention,
including ex-senator Chandler, ex-gov.
ernors and Congressman, and men OF
judicial experience. New Hampshire's
step is in the right direction, and it
is to be hoped that the residents OF
the smaller towns of Vermont may be
brought to a realization of the injus.
tice of the system which still pre-
walls in this state, and that they may
join in the movement for a constltu.
tional convention at the earliest pos.
sible date, which, under our law, is
1910.

Ten years ago the people of Kansas
We're groaning under their burden of
debt. In their discomfort they fol-
lowed strange gods, and Kansas be-
came a hot bed of Populism. But
now Kansas is singing an entirely diff
ferent song, and with the coming of
prosperity Populism has disappeared
and the demagogic agitator finds his
occupation gone. The Kansas City
Journal figures the total value of farm
and ranch products in the state for
this year at $404,25S 900, or $50, ,O0O, 900
in excess of last year, and three times
as great as the value of the same
kind of products in 1898. The Jour
nal says: Nowhere on earth, from
the beginning of time down to the
present, was there ever a population

but never reached the bank. Foul play
is suspected and parties are searching
the woods.
Col. Albert Chandler, a Vermonter by
birth and a summer resident of Ran
dolph, was badly burned about the
hands, arms and face while attempting
to extinguish a fire which broke out in
his home in Brooklyn few days ago.
The fire department had to be called to
the house, which was damaged to the ex-
tent of $500. Col. Chandler was formerly
president of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany and is chairman of its board of
directors at the present time.

The University of Vermonts Gene
tennial will be celebrated in 1904. The
university was founded by the legis-
lature in 1871, but some time passed
before instruction began and the first
class graduated in 1904. Graduates
from all parts of the country have sig
nified their intention of returning for
the exercises of 1904, and it is ex-
pected that an effort will be made at
that time to secure funds which are
needed for additional buildings.

The lesson of the Worlds Fair in
Chicago ought to be remembered in
making the states appropriation for
the proposed exposition at st. Louis.
Vermonters will have little use for
$4,000 state building. They will go
to the fair to see the exhibits, not
to loaf in any structure the state may
erect. But $4,000 expended in dis
playing products from Vermont
would be highly creditable and bene-
fetal to the state.

A strong effort is to be made to
pass the bill doing away with the
death penalty and making the punish
ment for murder life Imprisonment.
Should this be done the pardoning

provision that no pardon shall be
granted under any circumstance ex-
cept on unquestioned evidence of the
prisoners innocence.
