The movement of the business men
of Montpelier toward reasonable
prices for board and rooms for the
legislators and an avenue through
which they can be arranged is receiv-
ing words Of commentator all over
the State. 1t is movement which,
if carried ON with the earnestness
with which it has been started, will
do more to stop the kicking about
Montpelier in session time than any
thing else would do. A great deal of
this kicking is for the sake of kicking,
but there may he justification for
some of it, There should be justifica-
tion for none Of it.

opinion the Telegram heartily con-
ours. How would 1t do to pass a law
that any mau who committed the
crime of rape should be duly unsexed :
Let this be done by due process of
law. IL it we're known that this was
the invariable penalty to be visited
upon convicted rapists it might have
deterrent effect II certainly would
prevent the criminal from subsequent
ommissions of that crime. We would
also have an additional penalty of i'm
prisonment visited upon the Sound
rel These reflections are the result
OF meditations upon the infamous out
rage just committed upon a nurse in
the village of Proctor. Something
more than short term of imprison-
ment ought to be visited upon the
villain who was guilty of that crime.
How would the suggested penalty
do?p

1t is TO be feared that Governor Nc
Oullough must 60 down in Vermont
history as the pardoning Governor
In these closing days of his admins
tration he has pardoned one Oarrick,
who was serving a sentence for an
assault of an aggravated nature. 1t
is evident that soma people who know
about the case do not approve of the
Governor action, and it is very prob
able that he has made another mis-
take. 1t is pretty safe to believe
that the court knows more about the
case than will be shown in an attempt
to secure pardon and it is safe
rule to leave the pardoning power
only for exceptional cases where
justice turns out to have been wronged,
or where humanity dictates a course
of lenienoy The following is from
the Rutland News;
A prominent Bethel citizen writes
The Evening News as follows
Your edition of Saturday last in.
forms us that Martin Csrriok has
been pardoned. Can you inform us
on what grounds, and if a political
pull was the main reason? The peo-
pie here are very indignant, ard
should Carrick come here be prepared
to print anything as a result. We
cannot answer the correspondent
query. The letter, as we understand
it, gives fair index of the regard in
which this pardoned prisoner is held
by his late neighbors, Somebody has
manifestly taken advantage of Gov.
ernof McOullough's inirmlties and
hoodwinked linn In this oase.'

FRAUDULENT NATURALIZA-
TION.

The investigation into naturaliza-
tion frauds is still in progress. The
latest developments indicate that one
in ten of the naturalizatio papers
held by Italians in this city are fraud
ulent. These papers are sold by
someone to arriving immigrants. The
superintendent of elections arrested
man named Caparelli whom he alleges
to have made 500, 600 by the practice.
He was sent to the penitentiary tor
ten years, but other men seem to have
succeeded to his profitable trade and
to his influence with the courts.
This sort of fraud is the hardest thing
for judge to detect He has no rea-
son to suppose that the man who
swears that he came here before he
was eighteen may not be telling the
truth, and if he suspected it, proof
would be very difficult. The law,
however, gives discretionary power to
the magistrate He may conduct
such examination into the fitness Of
the applicant as he deems necessary
and may reject him in his discretion.
Magistrates have sometimes won en-
phatic public approval by rejecting
men whom their questioning showed
to be unfit for citizenship, although
they had come primed for the regular
tests. A free use of this discretionary
revea other grounds for refusing the
papers than the lack Of residence,
which the judge could not prove.
This is matter in which error on
the side of severity is safest The
administration Of our system Of natu-
ralization is additionally lax

BALLooNISG AT rms RocK.
sensational Accents Yesterday--Trapeze
 EvoIutions 2,OOO Feet in Air.

Professor T. H. Flowers and his troupe of daring aeronauts of the Amer
 ican Balloon company opened weeks engagement at Savin Rock yesterday
 afternoon by one of the most sensa-
 tional ascensions ever seen in this city.
 The noted Jack Crosby, who has made flights in all the great cities of the
 United States, went up both afternoon and evening yesterday. Both of the
 accents were perfect. When the word was given to let go in the afternoon over 5000 persons had assembled on the
 baseball grounds. The balloon was filled
 to the limit and Crosby shot Up like 2
 ball out of cannon. Every one was
 startled when about 200 feet from the
 ground Crosby threw out his hands
 and sailed up 1000 feet. holding only by his teeth. For the next 1000 feet up he went through various trapeze evolu- tions, and every one stood breathless until he had finished. He reached an altitude of 2,5O0 feet, and just before he Ilet go he sounded a warning from q bugle. It was in every respect one of the best ascensions ever witnessed by a
 New Haven throng.
 In the evening Crosby again went tup, the ascension being accompanied E by brilliant pyrotechnical display.
 To-day he will again make the ascents, but tomorrow afternoon there will be i a double flight. Professor Flowers and
 Crosby, the two most famous balloon lists of the day, will make a double ascent, the largest balloon in the coun- | try being used to carry the double weight. On Thursday a triple ascen- sion will be made. This is a new feat ure of ballooning. Only one. aeronaut will go up, but he will take three para Ichutes with him. After cutting away two of them he will drop with the third, and the unique sight of three para chutes falling at once will be presented. Professor Flowers stated yesterday
 that he has 8 number of new and sem sational features that he will show dur ling the week. Every evening ascension lis accompanied by a fireworks display.

 wrinn and he denied the rumor. Then told Sergeant Bowers. Shortly after ward the two were transferred. l went to the chies and asked him what he meant. He said he made it on the recommendation of the efficiency com mittee and that he made it rule to all ways do so when the committee recom- mended it.
 Judge Harrison-"Have you ever heard of any political activity on the part c. democratic policemen?"
 "No.''
 While you were running for mayor did you hear Of any republican police men being active against you?''
 Some may have been active against me and some sor me.
 "Do you know how many policemen are democrats, and how many are re- publicans?"
 .'No: it's pretty hard to distinguish between democrat and a republican nowadays"
 Do you think the force is as. efficient as it might be?''
 7ludA AOOAlA M AAA4- provement, but think that it will com pare favorably with the force of other departments.
 Police Commissioner Louis M. Ull- man was given the directory of ques- lions turned loose on the other commis- sioners by MT. Wolfe, and he gave the customary ''No" to efforts to see if he had scraped up any traces of influence or sayoritism on the force. He said that he had seen in the newspapers that I the town was wide open, but he didn't believe it then and didn't now. As to the prevalence of illegal places in the city he said:
 1 t'I think that there is less gambling in this city than in any of its size in the United States. About the retire ment of old policemen, am against the retirement os old men in theory. We wouldn't do it in our factory, and I don't see thet there is necessity for it in the city. I would favor putting the older patrolmen on the veteran reserve list, where they can be made to work half time Still I think that we need bright young men on the force, more of them than we have. The law is to re- tire and pension the old men and be- lieve in living up to this, to some degree at least"
