Unreasonable County Politics.

! This has been a remarkable winter in
! many respects-an unusual warmth and
an unusual snowstorm, so that perhaps
no one should be surprised to hear OF
county politics at an unreasonable time
OF the year. There seems to be some.
thing that looks like campaign on for
our county officers. Among the candi-
dates mentioned for county senator, and
Caledonia county is entitled to two, are
Representative W. A. Kicker, Frank N.
Carr, David E. Porter and Col. T. c.
Fletcher OF St. Johnsbury; B. K. Graves
Of Waterford; Hon. S. D. Morse OF Dan.
vile; George H. Bickford, ". H. Taylor
and DR.. S. E. Darling of Hardwick;
Luther A. Darling of Burke; Hon. J. T.
Gleason OF Lyndon7ille. The candidates
for sheriff, besides the present incumbent,
George F. Winch OF Barnet, are two
deputy sheriffs, w. H. Worthen OF St.
Jobnsbury and Vernon W. Rand Of Hard
wick. Those mentioned for assistant
judges, and there will be two elected, are
one Of the present incumbents, Judge
George T. Eastman OF Walden, A. S.
Batten OF Stannard, Elijah Lyford of
Peacham and Fred H. Hoffman Of
Sheffield.
For states attorney the candidates
are Guy W. Hill, the present incumbent,
G. c. Frye and N. A. Norton of Lyndon.

From the above list the CALIFORNIAN
could pick a ticket that ought to win,
but we are going to wait until after the
frost gets out Of the ground before
taking off our coat. There are some
conservative men in our list. which has
been corrected up to the hour of going to
press, who are aware that a January
thaw is not spring, and that the county
| does not care to be Kept in a turmoil
through the winter and spring months
on questions ofcouuty politics. We have
no doubt but that the present activity
will subside. II the candidates who are
pressing the matter do not subside them
selves, they will be squelched into silence
by a cousiderate public as kind mamma
bs flies the desires of her guileless babes.

Thanks to the Union Signal.

The organ Of Vermont Labor Unions
has splendid editorial in answer to our
editorial "a workman is known by his
Chips"
Had we deliberately set about erecting
an argument in favor Of the Proctor
style OF managing it's greatindustry, and
fair treatment to its employees, we could
not have done half as well as the Union
Signal has done. The gist of the Signals
argument is that the same kind of labor
in Baltimore, Cleveland. Milwaukee,
Newark, New York, Barre and other
places receives considerable larger wage.
Alright, let it go so, the CALIFORNIAN has
no data to contradict. Now then, the
workmen stick at Proctor. You can't
drive out on a strike. They stay year
after year; they win homes; many Of
them have bank accounts; they rear and
educate families. Then, too, the Vermont
Marble Co. don't seem to run short o
help. II all these conditions obtain, anC
the Union Signal has not denied it MOI

Thank you, Signal! The conditions a

w hat Tight Have Been.

On July l, 1899, at a special town
meeting attended by 304 voters it was
decided by tie vote not to build an
overhead viaduct across the railroad
tracks at the Portland street crossing.
This action was taken because of the
expense, the special committee reporting
that such structure would cost from
$4,000 to $4,000, according to the
length and construction of the viaduct.
Since that time several things have
happened. The late F. Y. Powers. one
OF our highly respected citizens, met with
an accident at this crossing which later
caused his death, and last Sunday
young lady was instantly killed and her

The past year the town erected fine

the expense OF the proposed long viaduct,
and some who have opposed the viaduct
project have declared that the project
was dead. Is it? Do the people OF st.

Jugs as they area Moloch for human
sacrifices. The railroads have done their
part to protect human life. as far as it
can be done on a grade crossing. but how
much longer are we to permit two grade
crossings when the remedy is in our
hands.
At the special town meeting, referred
to above, it was shown that on a given
day, May Is, 1899, Sc trains passed by,
s65 teams and 1854 foot passengers
crossed the Portland street tracks. A
similar census would show larger figures
today.
1t is idle to speculate upon what might
have been, but there must be a way to
overcome the dangers OF the two grade

civil engineering. And when that way is
found the voters will again have chance
to express themselves at town meeting.
Let US do some serious thinking before
another human life is sacrificed, and
while the dreadful scenes OF last Sunday
are fresh in our minds.
