FOR SWEET CHARITY.

Rutland, Oct 19.-Fourteen of
Rutland's young society women acted
as conductors of the cars Of the Rut-
land Street Railway Company today
in connection with the annual harvest
festival given under the auspices of
the Rutland Missionary Association
for the benefit of the Old Ladies
Home. They were Miss Jennie O.
Temple, Miss Mabel J.. Kirk, Miss
Zoeline Stafford, Miss Laura b. Ath-
Mary e. Hodsdon, Miss Elizabeth L.
Swinnington, Mrs Fred d. Harlow,
Miss Cassie s. Winship, Mrs, H. ".
Brooks, Miss Helen E. Grimm, Miss
Alice Durkee, Mrs. Fred W. Watkins
and Miss Jessie Davis The arrange
ment of the society with the street
railway company provided that all the
money received by the young women
conductors over the average Wednes-
days receipts should be retained by
them for the home. Many of the
passengers paid their fares with bills
of large denominations and refused to
take any change, while half dollars
and dollars we're very common, so
when the money is counted tonight
the home will probably have netted a
large sum.
The Old Ladies Home was open to-
visitors all day and many contribu-
tions of eataules and clothing we're
made. The home has been full all Of
the time during the past year and the
drain on its resources very great, but
the contributions of today will prob
ably keep the institution on its feet.
In order to protect the young women
against any unpleasant experiences
with disorderly passengers the regular
? conductors of the street cars remained
on the cars all day taking seats with
the passengers,

WE'LL DONE.

The election of Redfeld Proctor to
succeed himself in the United States
Senate has been, all along, foregone
conclusion. The only question in the
matter has been the Senator'S willing
ness to serve. Some months ago
there were rumors OF the candidacy
of other prominent Republicans for
the office, but either the rumors were
false or the rumored candidates de-
cided it would be tempting fate to try
titles with the veteran senior Senator
in contest of such o nature. All
opposition faded away in the Republi-
can ranks. The Democrats made
heir patty opposition, but are un-
questionably glad that their votes
were not mighty to the defeating of
the maI of greatest influence in the
Senate of the United States
Senator Proctor is to be congratu-
lated upon his election by so nearly
aud what is practically unani-
nous vote of the Legislature. 1t is
tribute to his ability and to his great
services as a statesman. Vermont
has done wisely in returning him to
the Senate. His long experience in
the halls of Congress, combined with
his natural adaptsbility to legislative
work, and his broad insight into the
affairs of the nation acquired by years
of public service along many lines.
make him valuable man both to the
State and to the United States. He
Is not the kind of lawmaker that
makes a national reputation by spread
Congress. He can speak well and
forcibly when it is necessary, or when
the occasion calls for speech, but it is
not as an orator that he is known.
His record is that of a calm, deliber-
ate, clear thinking, and far seeing
state sman, who first discerns clearly
the right, aud then in the committee
room and by personal influence seeks
to make the right triumphant. His
methods are effective; they are the
methods that convince like his
method in Cuba in the spring of
1898; they are the methods Of the
practical statesman working for
results Votes are seldom made or
lost on any important question by
speeches in the Senate or House. The
real work is done before the formal
debate. Senator Proctor is one of the
men who do that work. He is recog
nized as one of the influential men OF
the Senate-infuentia for the best
good of the State and nation. Yer
mont can be assured of honorable
and wise representation in Congress
with Redfield Proctor as her senior
Senator and william P. Dillingham;
for his colleague. The work of the
Legislature completed and clinched
at highsnoon today, was we'll done.

ARM OR USHED.

Bethel, Oct. 10. George Burrell,
while engaged in the feeding of a
blackening machiue in the Fisher
tannery on Tuesday afternoon, had his
left arm drawn into the rollers and
badly crushed as far as the elbow by
running the side of hide through,
his fingers were caught in the brushes
But,.for the remarkable GOODNESS of the
lad the results might have been more
serious. 1t was ten minutes before
the machine could be sufficiently re-
leased to allow the injured arm to be
withdrawn. Dr.. Greene responded
quickly and gave relief. 1t is be-
lieved the arm can be saved.

with the practical working of the
present tax law, but the trouble Is
that such is the case with other sys-
TENS, and the changes most generally
proposed have been proved by trial in
other States to be pregnant with
greater hardship and distress than is
this. There is no scheme of robbery
in effect under the name Of taxation,
but an honest attempt to make a
practical working tax system. When
a better one is presented the State
will probably adopt 1t, but no blind
leap in the dark should be made
Vermont should not experiment with
schemes that other States have learned
to their sorrow give no relief.

a COMM UNIC1TION.
The Tax System Discussed by Cor
respondent

Editor Daily Journal: In your
issue of the 18th inst, you state that
double taxation surely exists according
to the reasoning of one side and just
as surely does not exist according to
the other side you add, that evident
ly the Governor believes with the
former side. Now, Mr.. Editor, will
you please tell us who it is that takes
the other side. Is it the poor people
like the writer, who have to pay taxes
on 81, 900 more than they possess, and
is it the side that does not agree with
Governor BellY Who has the right to
deposit 81, 0O0in bank without pay
ing any taxes at all? l am told this
law was passed to encourage thrift so
that poor people could get homes of
their own. But suppose they huy
home costing $40 and pay $500
down, is he not taxed for the entire
So, 600 or three times as much as he
possesses? This, Mr.. Editor, Is not
taxation at all, it is downright rob-
berry, as the writer has learned to his
COST am aware that nothing is
won by violence. but it seems to be
hard to discuss this subject in good
temper. Gan you, Mr.. Editor, deny
that when l pay taxes on So, 600 which
l do not possess that am paying taxes
for other people on So, 900 which they
do possess? And who are they? Is
it the poor? No doubt now that Gov.
Bell has advocated having each person
pay taxes on just what he possesses
he will be classed with Potato"
Pingree and Golden Rule" Jones.
But, thank God, we did not this year
witness the spectacle of four million
aires fighting over the governorship
like four dogs over a bone. They,
no doubt, would suit the latter class
you speak of, but hardly poor man
like the writer who has family of
eight depending OH him for support,
in poor health aud with an infirmity
from which he can never hope to
recover. However. Mr.. Editor, he
aud the>thousan1s of other poor men
in this State do not come to our law
makers asking charity. We only ask
fair field and fair show. We do
not ask that money be taken out of
some one else's pocket and put into
ours We only ask that our money
be not taken out of our pockets and
put into someone else's We are
willing to pay taxes on every dollar
we possess, but we ask the same
right that is accorded the rich, ard
which l am told is guaranteed TO us by
the Constitution Of both the State and
nation. And now, Mr.. Editor, as it
seems that you favor this law to any
other. will you please tell US why it
is that poor man buys farm and
pays 49, 500 for it and said farm is ap-
pr Aised for So, 500 and he pays $500
down. and his stock is appraised say
at $500, why he can't be taxed for
81 800, Just what he owns in 1T, just
as easily and simply as for IS, 800 or
for So, 200 move than he possesses; and
also please tell us how many rich
mer in this State pay taxes on w, 200
more than they possess?

On the road question the Gazette of

who has a practical knowledge of
road building, a thorough acquaint-
ance with the peculiaritiesa and require
ments of the highways under his su-
pervisioD, and holds his Office not be-
cause he is good fellow but because
his fellow citizens have learned that
he is the man who can build LOG cents
worth OF highway for a dollar or
less, The special appropriation, if
any is made, might be and should be
expended in certain specified man
fit together and the State be threaded
it's length and breadth with smooth
permanent driveways; and this end
can be secured, the Gazette thinks,
with less expense if managed by local
commissioners than il put in thu
