words rankles deep in the breast of Co.
lombia and has led to such friction that
the ratification of the treaty is now con-
coded to be practically impossible, even
should there be an extension of time.
DIR. Herran in Disfavor.
DR.. Herran, Colombian charge DAT
flares, was shown the instructions to
Minister Beaupre the day they were
cabled. Herran was asked to notify his
government to the same purport. He
declined to do so.
Since then the relations of DR.. Herran
and the state department have been
somewhat strained and the criticism
passed upon the departments action by
DR.. Herran has not mended matters.
Secretary Hay has asked DR.. Herran
whether or not the words attributed to
him in the interview are correct: II
Herran admits their authenticity, Sec
rotary Hay intends to call Dr. Herran
somewhat sharply to account.
State Department Responsible.
The state department, while it is re-
ported, despite denials, to be impatient
with Minister Beaupre over his failure
to report promptly the proceedings at
Bogota, does not for 8 moment falter in
it's support of Beaupre, so far as his
official communications to Colombia are
concerned. He has acted. strictly ac-
cording to instructions, and If there is
to be any blame for the brusque and CO.
ercive tone of American notes, the state
department should shoulder it.
The department, however, is begin
ming to see that the treaty is probably
lost. Minister Herran said Friday he
had about given up hope.

 retary-DiseussiOn of Contagious DIs-
 eases.
 At meeting of city, state and county health officers, state board of health members and committee of one from
 each board of town health officers in every county, held at the Garde hotel yesterday, a permanent organization was formed. That great good to the state will result is assured for the men at the head of the organization, as well as its members have labored hard to stamp out disease.

The first speaker of the session was Dr. Street. Dr. Mahl of Hartford started general discussion on the ad- visibility of distributing printed in- structions concerning contagious dis eases. It was suggested that the 1855 towns having less than 5000. population could work under one plan, while the 3S towns and places of more than five thousand population would need q modified plan to work under. Remarks were made by Dr. Brewer and Dr. Lindsley. :5 >.
 The following resolution was then adooted:

The following from the Mortified
News expresses the position of every
editor:
Don't put it in the paper" is one of
the requests which come to the local
newspapers at all times. These re-
quests have been more frequent since
the license law went into effect and
come from parties who have just settled
little bill in the police court for having
been drunk-and caught at it. SO far
as this journal is concerned it is most
disagreeable duty to publish such items
when the participant has enough sense
of shame over the results of his spree to
wish to keep his name out Of print.
But police news is legitimate news and
every subscriber pays for his paper with
the tacit understanding that he shall be
furnished with all the news so far as the
editor can reasonably obtain it. There
| fore it would be a breach of faith with
the subscribers to omit the police re-
ports or any part of them, however
much the editor might wish to do SC
out of sympathy for human weakness
When the matter is placed in this true
light every reasonable person must see
that it is impossible to grant a request
to keep a legitimate item of news out OF
the local newspaper. There is one SURF
and effectual way for person to keel
his name from disagreeable item il
the police court doings, and that is t.
keep sober; and the time to think abou
avoiding it is while he is sober.

Amen d the Law.

Make the penalty to fit the crime.
Washington county has furnished two
cases of terrible examples" within the
past month that show up the weakness
of the law against rape. These crimes
were both against the person of little
girls, both under 10 years One human
monster was sent to the House of Cor
rection for few years and the other
languishes in Jail for lack of $500
bail.
Think of it.
Only few years in the House of Cor
rection.
Only 5000 bail
The penalty for these awful crimes
should be not less than murder, and bail
should be refused.
To the everlasting credit of Washing
ton county and Vermont, the full limit
of the law was meted out promptly to
these brutes.
The first duty of the next legislature
should be pass law that will fit these
nameless crimes.
