A Good Ruling.

The following ruling regarding the
OF mine owners in securing
mine timber from government lands
will be read with interest by those
engaged in the mining industry. A
dispatch from Helena, Montana, says:
"Judge Hunt, in hl court, in a ruling
recently made, in the case of the
United States vs.. Boston Mining
Company, in an action to re over for
timber cut upon public lands, l9 miles
from Butte, held that as the timber
had all been cut from the mountains
near Butte, the mining company had
"a right to 90 further away than is
contemplated IN the law, which says
adjacent to mines. He accordingly
granted the company's motion to
dismiss. .

The Statehood Bills.

The Republican members of the House
of Representatives, in conference last
week, voted unanimously for the prop
ostion to admit Oklahoma and Indian
Territories as one state. Sixty-five votes
We're recorded against the admission of
Arizona and New Mexico as a single
state The dissenting Republicans, with
the 1877 Democrats will be sufficient to
defeat in the House the one-state project
as to these territories Should a one
state bill for Arizona and New Mexico
pass the House, It is predicted that 1t
cannot pass the Senate without the For
aker amendment providing that the ter
ritories shall not be united unless a ma
jority of the voters of each territory ap-
prove the plan.
1t is urged that IL Arizona were admit
ted singly the Mormons would direct leg
islaton. This would not be the case If
the two territories formed one state. One
of the objections to consolidation is that
the Mexicans will outnumber the Ameri
cans Of Anglo Saxon lineage.
Those who are opposed to the merger
of the two territories object to the size
of the state they would form. The area
of Arizona alone is more than twice that
OF New England. Joined to New Mexico,
1t would form a commonwealth larger
than New England, New York, Pennsyl
vania, Maryland, New Jersey and Mich
igan. 1t is urged that such a state is
much too large for economical admins

expectancy A state of the size Of Texas
is too expansive for convenient access to
the state capital Arizona and New Mex
leo would constitute state with an area
little less than that of Texas, and Texas
is about a third larger than the German
empire. The ideal commonwealth is of
moderate size and composed of a homo
geneous population.

A Newspaper.

While the attention of the people of
Vermont has been sharply called of late
to the not only entirely unreliable, but
grossly perverted work of the yellow
journals in their reports of important
news events, 1t is a pleasure to call to
mind a paper like the Boston Transcript
which is in the best sense a newspaper.
It's news reports cover accurately and
concisely, all the news of New England
and all the important events not only
in this country but in the world at large,
There is no padding or filling in its news
columns, but all the news is there. told
in plain, ineligible English. The extent
of its daily enterprise in covering in SO
broad a way a wide range Of important
affairs is steadily a welcome surprise to
it's readers. To read the Transcript reg
ularly In all its varied departments is
in itself a liberal education.

James w Wadsworth, jr., who is
slated for the speakership of the New
York assembly, is another striking ex-
ample of the young man in politics. He
has not reached his 2Sth birthday anni-
versary and has been a legislator only one
term. His grandfather, Gen. James w.
Wadsworth. was the Republican candi-
date for governor of New York in 1862
against Gen. Horatio Seymour, and lost
his life in battle for the Union with the
army of the Potomac in 1864. Young
Wadsworth's father, who was also a civil
war veteran, has been a member Of Con-
gress since 1882. The speaker-to-b be
graduated from Yale in 1898 and the fol-
lowing day enlisted for service in the
Spanish war, and later went to
the Philippines as a soldier. He married
a short time ago the second daughter Of
the late secretary OF state, John Hay. He
has a clean record for efficiency in every
thing he has undertaken and 1t is thought
that he viii make his mark as presiding
officer in the most important state legis-
lature in the country.

After the Democrats had washed their
dirty linen in the House of Representa-
tives last week, Mr. Lamar of Florida be-
ing at the tub large part of the time,
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, the
party leader, asked in despair: why is
it that the comic papers always represent
the Democracy as a donkey?" The an
swer ought to be easy. The Democratic
party is always kicking. 1t kicks against
any action by the Republicans as a mat
ter of principle. When the Democrats had
full swing in Congress they kicked against
each other, and the minority in the House
at the present time are continuing the
same tactics. The donkey is an emblem
which means something when 1t represents
Democracy.

The village meeting Tuesday evening
resolved itself into rabble, where impulse
and thoughtlessness overran premedita-
tion and deliberation. There is a strong
sentiment in the community for municipal
ownership of the water works, but 1t
would be folly now to go ahead with the
construction of an entirely new water
system, in competition with the Crowell
systems. Nobody knows what the cost
of new system would be-the estimate
is $25O,00O, and judging by the result of
other similar estimates the village might
find itself saddled with a debt of $3.50, 900
or s400. 900. Nothing could be done about
a new system anyway until after the next
session of the legislature, and by that
time Mr. Crowell will have his new sup
ply coming to the village from Stickney
and Pleasant Valley brooks. The legisla-
tive act of 1892 provides a way fox the
village to acquire Mr.. Crowells prop
critics on a basis equitable alike to him
and to the village. The voting down OF
Mr.. Dunham's resolution Tuesday night
was an act which will not bear the
scrutiny of sane analysis.

Oregon has a Democratic United States
senator for the first time in 80 years, Gov.
Chamberlain having appointed John NJ.
GeaTin of Portland to that position. He
has been a Democrat S. sadfastly, although
he did not believe in free silver. He is an
admirer of President Roosevelt, and is in
accord with the latter's policy for 'the
control of railroad rates. He was born
in Oregon of Irish parentage 81 years
ago and after graduating at NotIe Dame
university in Indiana returned to his
native state to practice law. He was a
law partner of John H. Mitchell, the
United States senator whose death made
the vacancy which he has been appointed
to fill. 1t happens strangely that he is
the fourth man from one law Office to &c
to the United States Senate, the Others
having been Mitchell, Dolph and Simon.

The sksptIo and the Church.

Thomas was a skeptic. He was born
so. and conversion did not change him.
When the other disciples told him that
Jesus had risen from the dead and that
they had seen him, Thomas did not be-
lieve them. He rejected the evidences.
Except" he said, II shall see in his
hands the print of the nails and put my
finger into the print of the nails, and
thrust my hand into his side, l will not
believe" If the apostolic Church had
made the acceptance OF dogma the con-
dition of membership. 1t would have ex-
communicated Thomas. He not only re-
jected the most fundamental article OF
belief of the little Church, that on which
its whole message was to rest, but he
refused to believe the prophecies of the
Lord; for the Lord had more than once
told his disciples that he would be cruci-
fed and would rise again the third day
But in the apostolic Church not dogma
but love was the bond of union. Thomas
was not communicated. He remained
in the Church, shared in its work. and
attended its meetings. And the result
is that the most fervent expression OF
faith in the divinity of Christ ultimately
came from the skeptical Thomas. We
commend this incident to the considera-
tion of those timid souls who are afraid
to admit into their fellowship the moderr
Thomas because he doubts a "funda.
mental doctrine"

Unhappy Russia,

The sympathy of the whole civilized
world goes out to Russia--to the govern
ment and to the people--at this holiday
season. 1t is not possible to imagine that
there can be anything like merry Christ
mas in the inmost hearts or in the outer
lives of any of the people of that dis
tracted country. How desperate the sit
uation Is must be largely a matter of
conjecture, for the usual means of COM
munication, by rail and by telegraph
have been for weeks either entirely cut
Off, or available only in the intervals OF
the great strikes. There is no doubt that
both the Czar and Count Witte were and
are sincere in their purpose to give the
people a liberal measure of self-govern-
mental that they are prepared for: ::
but the revolutionary leaders, flushed with
victories already won, and made desper-
ate by long years of oppression. throw
wisdom and prudence to the winds and
demand on the instant such concessions
as only years Of education and experience
could fit the people for. Every day it
seems that the next may bring news of
red-handed revolution throughout the
empire. 1t does not make the situation
less threatening or less dreadful to say
that, for the Russian autocracy, 1t is a
case of sowing the wind through gene
rations of selfish and conscienceless OPP
preston under the iron heel of military
might and now of reaping the whirl-
wind as did the corrupt mobiles in France
in the awful days OF 1924. That the
Russian people may be saved from such
horrors, and that righteous self-control
may finally bring peace with justice, will
be the Christmas prayer of every human
heart.

wishes to keep the Office up TO the high
rank which it has maintained under Mr..
