1t is believed by parties likely to be
fairly we'll informed in regard to the
plans Of the New York Central railroad
managers i'm connection with that COM
pany's assumption Of control of the
Rutland road, that one outcome of
the change will be the estab-
iishment of through line between Mon.
treal and New York. by way of Ben
nington and the Harlem, road. This is the
line which Trenor PARK hoped and ex-
pected to secure when he built the road
from Bennington to Chatham, n y, but
he never succeeded in obtaining the ncces-
sity through connection with the Har-
lem road and his scheme failed. With
the Harlem, Lebanon Springs. Rutlan
roads all parts of the New York Central
system, the conditions are now favorable
TO the establishment of Il new through
line to and from Montreal by way of
Chatham, Bennington and Rutland. This
line, we suppose, will save something in
distance as compared with the present
line by way OF Troy and the Hudson
river road. and when fully equipped with
East vestibuled trains, running through
without change Of cars or delays from
side connections, it cannot fail to be n
favorite route between New York and
Montreal. and a powerful competitor with
the Delaware & Hudson line. When these
plans materialize, we shall have better
connection with New York. from this
quarter than ever before.

GOVERNOR BELLS COURSE.

1t seems to us and We are sure will
| seem to most of our readers. that Cover
nor Bell conducted himself with mark
ed dignity, good sense and self-contro
during the recent very trying episodes
connected with the case of Mrs. Rogers
The New York Tribune expresses The
judgment of many good and sensible cit
liens in many States when it says:
The sound sense manifested by Cover
nor Bell of Vermont in dealing with the
woman convicted of murder iii that State
is worthy of attention. He has granted
L rcprievc, which stays until June the
execution which was set for to-day. hut in
doing so he administers a deserved re-
Duke to the sentimentalists and sensa-
tionalists who have been making them
selves conspicuous in this case. The at
tOrneysif0r The wof1inn claimed that: they
had new evidence and that they could,
with proper opportunity, show that tes-
timony influential toward her conviction
was false. The governor does not attempt
to decide the truth of these statements,
but he feels that the defendant should
have the chance to present them in court
and secure new trial II she can. The
courts decision must be f1nal, for the
governor announces that he will not inter-
fere with the course of the law which
he thus gives the woman tho opportunity
to invoke. In his memorandum the gov
| crnOr pOinrcdly remarks: mo considcra-
ito is given in granting this reprieve
to complaints made by outsiders that
the laws of Vermont are cruel and bar
barOus." and again, II shall not by any
act Of mine attempt to thwart the en-
pressed will of the people or undertake
to change the policy of our law in regard
to capital punishment"
Putting aside the question Of evidence
involved In the promised appeal for a
new trial, and assuming the facts to be
as found, there is absolutely no ground
for the appeal to clcmcncy except tho
Sex of the prisoner, and that Governor
Bcll rightly refuses to regard. Every
time a woman is convicted of murder the
sentimentalists swarm. and frequently
they do not wait for conviction. but be-
gin to denounce public prosecutors and
demand release Tor n woman the instant
she is arrested on murder charge. Now
there is a fair field for argument con-
corning the wisdom OF capital punish
ment: but capital punishment is the law
OF New York and Vermont and most OF
the States. So long as il is the law il
should be mpartially enforced The sen.
timcntalists who leave il on the statute
book and then demand clcmency for tn,
woman murderer on the mere ground OF
sex really demand license for women to
murder. 1t Is VIGOROUSLY more difficult
to convict a woman than a man of crime
owing to the natural chivalry of men
TO go further and refuse to execute ih'
sentences against justly convicted won,cr
out of Il professed sense of chivalrv Is
| absurd. Governor Bell deserves credit for
| sustaining the equal administration OF
the criminal laws Of his State and no,
surrcndorine to outbursts of gush.

LIQUOR LEGISLATION IN NEW
HANPSuJRE. ''

Our neighbors of New Hampshire are
Just at present conducting a lively dis
cussion of liquor legislation, and in view
of the many similar features in the
existing license laws in the two States,
the facts which are being brought out
will be of particular interest to our read
ers. No less than thirty-seven bills have
been introduced in the Legislature OF
The Granite State. which affect the pres
ent liquor law and, as was the case in
the Vermont Legislature. the result will
probably be a compromise measure max
ing material notifications in the exist.
ng system.
The declaration is made that the laws
are now being violated to notorious
degree. both in license and no license
towns, and the principal; demand now
being pressed is that such restrictions
shall be provided as will ensure obed-
ience to- the laws. A change which is
being advocated and which emphasizes
pne difference between the New Hamp-
bujIe lew anu tnAt IN force IN tn1S state
Is that the cities be given the right now
possessed by the towns to vote bicnni-
ally on the question whether or not Ii
renses shall be granted for the sale of
Intoxicating liquor as a beverage.
At the present time cities are restricted
10 vote once in four years on the Ques
tion OF issuing licenses. and it is claimed
that this provision was incorporated in
she act because the liquor dealers wanted
! longer term for selling at first in Or
Ter to guard against the possibility Of a
reversal of the popular will on the cues
zion after the first year under a license
regime. Another change advocated is
that druggists oe required to keep a
.ecord OF sales and be forbidden TO sell
1auor as a beverage. While there are a
Few marked differences between the laws

Jhire. like that pointed out it can be
