A New Inspector of Finance.

Hon. Frederick S. Platt has sent his
resignation to Gov. Bell as inspector of
finance and the same has been accepted
and Gov. Bell has appointed Luther A.
Cobb, cashier of the Island Pond Ma
tonal Bank, in his place. Mr.. Platt's
letter to Gov. Bell is couched in the most
courteous terms and he takes the high
ground that the "weltare of the savings
banks and trust companies of our state
is, oil course, entirely above all personal
considerations" Here is his letter in
full;
March 4th, 1905.
Hon. Chas. !. Bell, Governor OF Vermont.
My Dear Sir; Since the passage by
the legislature and approval by the gov
ernor OF No. 20 OF the Acts of 1904, ques-
ton has been raised as to my authority
to discharge the duties OF the office OF in
spector OF tinaLce
The doubt, il any, thus raised was not
solved by the Supreme Court, by way OF
reply to the questions submitted by you.
While l, personally, believe, and am as
sured by counsel that the act iu question
is entirely valid, and authorizes me to
perform the duties OF this Office, and that
such will be the final decision of the
court, realize he serious complications
that might arise from the raising by q
person in authority of any question as to
who is inspector OF finance.
The question cannot be settled by oul
courts tor several months. During thi
time, the banks should be examined BY
an inspector whose title to the Office i
t undisputed. The welfare of the saving
banks and trust companies of our stat
is, OF course, entirely above all persona
, considerations.
To avoid these complications and an
embarrassment to the banks in respec
i to this matter, have decided to, and here
S by do, tender my resignation otthe office @
/ inspector of finance of the state OF Ver
mont, the same to take effect upon tn
appointment OF my successor.

Someone is trying to injure Mortified
by circulating the report that the Ellis
Granite Works would be removed from
there because the town voted license. AS
the firm employs 800 men its removal
would be a serious blow TO the prosper
ity OF one OF the most progressive towns
in the state. President Ellis promptly
denies the report and says the firm has
no intention of moving its plant. We are
sorry that Mortified went license, but
we are glad to give the denial to the re
port about the granite company moving
away. 1t was too specious to believe il

Centennial of the State Capital.

The taxpayers OF Montpelier are gener-
Gus to vote an appropriation OF $1,000
for the celebration of the centennial of
the establishment of the state capital
there, but, as matter of fact. the legis-
lature of 1904 should have provided
ample means for state celebration of
this event. 1t is an imposition upon the
taxpayers OF Montpelier to make them
pay all the bills while the state goes free.
The event to be commemorated was not
a mere local incident, by any means. 1t
was an important state matter and
should be celebrated under state aus
pices.- Montpelier Argus.

Skin Diseases

are wholly confined to the epidermis or ex-
ternal skin, and between the inner and ex-
ternal skins there are no blood vessels, hence
the disease cannot come from the blood
Barrels of blood medicines can have no eff
feet on these skin eruptions, for such medi-
cines cannot reach the seat of the trouble.
This class of diseases is caused by a germ or
parasite which burrows into the external
skin, there it lives, thrives and multiplies,
and the Inflammation they set up causes the
awful itching and burning sensation.
