Houohton g. simonds's New store.

Houghton & Simonds will open to
the public tomorrow one of the best
appointed and best equipped stores in
Bratteboro 1t will comprise, in fact,
two stores. the one which has become
familiar to the people of Brattleboro
and the community roundabout as the
f. K. Barrows store and the one which
has been occupied by e. A. Starkey d
Co.. which Houghton & Simonds have
leased and have combined with the
Barrows store. The two stores have
been thrown into one by cutting a
large archway through the partition.
The cashiers desk has been located
in this archway. The new store has
been fitted with new shelving and
counters. to match those of the old
store. and new gas fixtures have been
put in The proprietors have added
to their already large line Of goods
several new lines, including wash
fabrics. shirt waists, single shirt waist
patterns. wrappers. etc. These Will
occupy the south side of the new store.
The shelves on the north side have
been filled with hosiery and under
wear, taken from the north side of the
old store. The shelves thus emptied
have been filled with laces. Hamburgs,
infants wear. and goods which here
tofore have been piled on the floor for
lack Of shelf room. With the goods
thus arranged a better display is
made and at the same time, with the
addition of new goods. both stores are
well filled. The congestion in the
basement also is relieved by the ad
dition of the basement under the new
store Mr.. Simonds will remain in
charge of the old store and Mr.. Hough-
ton will take charge of the new store,
each doing the buying for the depart
ments under his own supervision.
Since buying out Mr. Barrows last
April the young men have conducted
the business with enthusiasm and en-
terprise, and an effort to deserve their
share of the public patronage.

TO MARK HISTORIC SPOTS.

Senator Louis E. McComas Monday
introduced bill in the Senate appropria
ting $500 for laying suitable memoria
tablets at several historic points in anc
about Annapolis.
The measure provides that Secretary OF
the Navy William H. Moody, Capt. Will
lard H. Brownson, superintendent Of the
academy, and William L. Marcy, of An
napolis, shall constitute commission to
make the selections. The following are
the points of interest:
The site of the encampment of General
Lafayette in 1881, when on his way will
1000 troops to battle with CORVALLIS; the
site of the home of Daniel Dulany, Jr.,
"the Father of American Industries and
the man who is credited with haxing sup
piled Pitt with material for the ce]ebrat-
ed speech in defense of the American
colonies delivered before Parliament in
1866; the site of the burning of the brig
Peggy Stewart and her consignment of
tea by the residents of Anne Arundel
county; the residence of Thomas John
son, the member of Congress who nomi-
mated Gen. George Washington, June
Is, 1775, to be the commander-in chief of
the Continental Army; the site of the
residence of Samuel Chase, signer of the
Declaration of Independence; the sites of
the Notifications for the defense of Anna
polls in the Revolutionary War, and the
site of the home of Amelia Pinkney.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton to the Baltimore Sun says: "The
extraordinary delay character:z ne the
proceedings at the Capitol since the
reconvening of the Senate and House
after the holiday recess and the evil
dence of a filbustcr in the Senate
against the Statehood bill indicate that
after all an extra session Of Congress
may be necessary next spring The
Senate is tagging in its VOL ; the
House acts as though it had absolute
ly nothing to do. There is an air OF
lassitude on every hand. Little work
is expected in session of Congress
prior to adjournment for the holidays.
1t is usually the custom, however, that
when the two Houses meet after the
holiday they get down at once to the
active and energetic disposition Of lus-
mess. 1t has been manifest since
Monday that this session is likely TO
prove an exception. The House adj
journs early every day and seems anx-
ious to avoid work. Iu the Senate
time is being killed by Wholesale in tie
consideration IF the Statehood bill.

ANTITRUST BILLS.

Four antitrust bills have been intro
duced at the present session of Congress,
but still the men who are at the head Of
the great combinations of capital an in
dustry do not appear to be frightened.
Congress convenes today (Monday). To-
morrow (Tuesday) Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts, may address the Senate
in behalf of his measure for curling the
trusts. While Representatives and Sena-
tors were enjoying the Christmas holidays
Mr.. Hoar was busily engaged in framing
bill to make the trusts behave them
selves. The Massachusetts Senator be-
lieves that he has solved the problem.
Those who are opposed to any legislation
against the trusts allege that Mr.. Hoar's
bill is unconstitutional. Those who advo-
cate trust regulation are convinced that
the measure framed by the Massachusetts
Senator is inadequate.
OF the four antitrust bills, Mr.. Hoar's
apparently presents the most carefully
devised scheme for checking the encroach.
ments of the industrial combinations. 1t
is designed to strengthen the Sherman
act, and contains provisions which, if en-
forced, might prove embarrassing to some
of our captains of industry. The influ-
ences which are arrayed against anti
trust legislation are so powerful, how
ever, that it would be great surprise if an
adequate measure of regulation were en-
acted at this session. President Roose-
welt. in his message, suggested that action
should be taken by Congress to secure a
larger measure of national control over
the trusts. The present Congress expires
by limitation on March 3. 1t is not un-
likely that it will leave the solution Of
the trust problem to its successor, or else
pass some measure which will not change
the situation materially. The party in
power is not united on the question of
trust regulation. AS long as differences
of opinion exists among the leaders it is
not probable that the Republican ma
jority in Congress will enact the neces-
sary remedial legislation. A 'makeshift"
is all that can be expected in the circum
stances. Baltimore Sun.

Mr.. jenkins, chairman of the House
committee ON judiciary, says OF the an
thrust bill framed by Senator Hoar
that "the trusts have nothing to fear
and the people nothing to hope for
from this BILL" And he has about
struck the nail on the head, says the
Alexandria Gazette. 1t is known in
Washington that the bill will never
become law aud the statement here
tofore believed to be correct, that it
was an administration measure is now
denied and so far as can lie ascertain.
ed it cmbodies simply Mr.. Hears own
views. The bill, should it ever pass,
would be found absolutely noneffec-
tive, either in curling the trusts or in
protecting the people. The federal
government could require all corpora.
tions engaged in interstate commerce
to make public all the details of their
business; but it could not go any
further This publicity might be Of
value to the stockbroker, but it could
not injure the trust nor be used to
protect the people, because the power
to punish it entirely absent. Mr.
Hoar had better come back to first
principles. Reduce the tariff or take
it entirely off Of trust goods. This
would regulate the trusts.

CAN THE DEMOCRATS WIN
IN 1904.

The 13 States composing the solid
South of recent years will have Isl
votes in the electoral college of 1904
This leaves out Delaware, Maryland
and West Virginia, which have been
carried by the Republicans in most Of
the recent canvasses. A majority Of
the Electoral College Of 1904 will be
237, the entire college, with the exist
ing number of States, comprising 476
members. With New York's 80 Elec-
toral votes-and the narrowness of the
Republican margin in New York in
1902 gives the Democrats a hope OF
winning that State in the coming
election-they would have 100 votes,
or only 40 short of the number re-
uuired to choose a President. New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana usu-
ally 90 with New York. Maryland is
very far from being sure for the Re-
publicans. The anti-Addicks Repub-
licans made Delaware Democratic in
1902, and the unfortunate factional
fight in not finished. The Democrats
led in the voting in Rhode Island in
1902. Nevada is likely to remain
with the South a few years longer.
These States. with New York and the
solid South, would give the Democrats
PAP votes in the Electoral College, or
more than enough to elect, so that
they could lose either Delaware or
Nevada, if they carried all the oilers,
and still win. The situation stands
thus:

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 9Th.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 9Th.
Mr. EDIToR:-The criticisms and pro-
testations which have greeted Senator
Hoar's antitrust bill furnish ample evil
dence of the unwillingness of Congress
to carry into effect, in single instance,
any of the recommendations of the Presi-
dent in regard to the control of the trusts.
No sooner had the terms of Mr.. Hoars
bill been made public than Representative
jenkins, chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee, made public statement in which
he declared that the trusts had nothing to
fear and the people nothing to gain by
the passage of the bill. which was merely
the old ideas rehabilitated in new phrase
ology. The Hoar bill provides for the
publicity so earnestly advocated by the
President and forbids, under penalty of
81, 900 fine or not more than years i'm
prisonment, or both, combination in re-
straint of trade. the selling of goods be-
low fair market price for the purpose of
destroying competitor and the owner
ship by one corporation of the stock in
other corporations.
1t is evident from the views expressed
by Senators and members of Congress
that the passage of the bill depends en-
tirely on the dictum of the trusts. If
their attorneys advise them that the bill
will prove innocuous they will gladly see
it passed with the hope that, as was the
case with the Sherman law, it will prove
sop to popular clamor. If, however, it
is found that its passage will prove detri.
mental to the interests OF the trusts Meth
er the Senate nor the House will pass it..
In fact, the position of the House is fairly
we'll represe nted by the statement of Mr..
Jenkins. That Mr.. jenkins is opposed to
all trust legislation has for some time
been apparent and even the earnest etfolts
of Representative Littlefeld are destined
to meet defeat at Mr.. Jenkins hands,
who, it is claimed, was selected as chair
man of the Judiciary Committee because
of his known opposition to trust legisla-
ton.
The determination of the President and
his Cabinet to use every power they pos
sess to secure the ratification of the Cuban
treaty promises to precipitate an interest
ing fight in the Senate. Senator Aldrich
and other extreme protectionists believe
they see in the Cuban treaty the entering
wedge in policy which will eventually
result in material lowering of the Dingley
schedules They will, therefore, oppose
the convention to the last ditch. The
claim is already being made that the
Presidents action in negotiating treaty
without the sanction of the House, when
