Editor News:
1T has been sometime since
left there to go to school, am now
in school at Goodnight. Every
thing is progressing nicely.
Our new President is liked by
all Of the students and the trus-
tees are already murmuring to
each other that he is the man
they have been needing.
We have about sixty boarding
students who are as loyal to their
school as any band of students
in our State. There are three
halls, one for the girls and one
for the boys, the other being the

Voting Mixed Tickets.

While The News editor sin
cerely trys to be right on all
things he is not always so by any
means. For instance he was in
error last week in speaking of
how to vote a mixed ticket.
The modus operandi suggested
last week, if followed by the vo-
ters is good so far as having the
ticket counted, but the law itself
points out still another way, and
by some well informed persons
thought to be a better mode of
procedure, as follows;
Make out your ballot from all
of the six tickets given, being
careful to run a line through the
names of those nominees you de-
sire to vote against. For in
stance, if party desires to vote
for one or two nominees say, on
each Of the six tickets, he leaves
their names standing and runs
inc through the balance of the
tickets. Under this rule, which
5 the attorney generals CON
,truction of the law, the use of
he seventh column is reserved |
,nly for the names of persons
'oted for whose names do not |
appear on any other one
# the six tickets.
And, so it appears, that to vote
mixed ticket you mark it out
II over the blanket sheet" only
sing the seventh column when
he name of the person you de
ire to vote for appears nowhere
lse on the ballot.

The City Election.

Tomorrow is the day for the
city election. The tickets, print.
ed by order of the County Judge,
will have on them the names OF
the offices to be filled only, the
names of the persons voted for
being filed in by the voters.
There are to be elected May
or, a Marshal and five Aldermen.
So far as the knowledge of
The News goes there are no can
didates for any of these offices.
1t is hardly likely, however, that
any permanent citizen of the
town will refuse to serve. if
elected, and the voter should
have little trouble in making
good selections all the way
through the ticket.
Ever since the election was
ordered The News has offered
the use of its columns free of
charge to citizens having sugges-
tons to make concerning either
the ticket TO be selected or the |
best policy of the city govern
ment after election, only requir
ing that the proper names of
citizens so speaking be attached
to such articles. One article of
this character appears in this
issue of the paper It proposes
ticket, the choice of the men
whose names are signed thereto.
The personnel of this ticket,
barring the head of it, is alright.
There are as good men in town
as these but no better ones. In
the head of the ticket a much
better selection could have been
made, for a country newspaper
man has troubles enough of his
own, and little, if any time, for |
other business than his own.
Under the circumstances he can :
not well refuse to serve, if elect =
ed, but he sincerely prefers not 1
TO be.
Either one of the proposed Al "
dermen would do for Mayor and :
so would Geo. l.. Abbott, Judge II
Haney, Judge Vansant, l.. c.
Lair, l.. r. Lester and several
others. Ia
In fact The News ventures the II
opinion that in no town of its u
'ize is there better material and ~
more of it for making good

CALkMITIES IN CITIES.
Every Great Center Sooner or Later
Meets With Disaster.

Sooner or later, it seems, every
city in the country is sure to have
its great calamity. New York has
had its blizzard, Charleston its
earthquake, Galveston its deluge,
Johnstown its food. Chicago and
Baltimore their fires, New Orleans
its pestllence, st. Louis its cyclone,
ltttSburg It's riots. Paterson its
dread trinity of flame, flood and
tornado, the cities of the lower Mis-
sisslppi valley their freshets and
San Francisco and the sister cities
of the coast ruin in earthquake and
fire. Somewhere every year it seems
to be the case that the destruction
that befell the ancient cities of the
plain is to be repeated, to awaken
the same superstitious dread and re-
mind humanity that God made the
country and man made the town.
Why is it that the lament Dab
ylon is fallen, is fallen must be
uttered every year? The reason
Is as prosaic as the force of gravita-
ton, but it may be as formidable
as that force working through an
earthquake shock. Where multi
tude of people are gathered together
the forces exist for converging a
calamity that would dissipate itself
unnoticed in a wilderness or a pas
toral country. A great city means
great population to disseminate
contaglon. 1t means site on a
navlgable river that may be muir
derously overswollen in freshet or
on bay of the ocean out of which
a swollen tide may come. As for
the wind, it "bloweth where it
llsteth," and storm that in a farm
ing country might uproot few
trees and unroof a few cottages. in

A Platform Plank.

The fist paragraph of the following
article from the st. Adams AlrsSenger
is in line with what the HERALD adyo-
Gated many months ago. and We are
heartily in accord with our contempor-
AIRY regarding the second paragraphs.
The Republican state platform should
declare for the reorganization OF the
courts along such practical lines adapted
to our circumstances and needs as will
relieve the Judges of the supreme court
from the duty of trying Gases in the
county courts and reserve them for the
hearing of appeals and the discharge of
similar duties usually performed by the
court OF last resort in any Safe. \ sep
arate bench of trial Judges for the couMty
court work should be instituted and the
system generally SO ordered as to com
pletely separate the functions of these
two courts. The bench and the bar is
already generally agreed that it is time
to abandon our old-time policy and
adopt this more modern plan, and the
thoughtful public is prepared to give it
trial.
The Messenger will venture to sug-
gest in this connection that the work Of
reform and reconstruction can well 90
step farther and that something should
he done about bringing to an end the
ancient justice of the peace system. and
the more or less irresponsible petty
courts that are held under it. Few men
that are familiar with such conditions
III Vermont need to be told of the
abuses that are tostered by this system
loth by reason of the attemnt to make
unframed Iaymen judges of the law and
the traveSteS on justice aud even cor
-r'p''oh IN some cases that are coca
stoned ny the lCoSeneSS aud comparative
privacy with which it is possible to con-
duet these justice trials. In these DAYS
OF abundant transportation facilities and
convenience of communication, it is
seldom necessary in any part of the
State to resort to such pioneering nuke
shifts any longer. There should be hut
one municipal! or petty court in every
town aud that should be presided over
by some person not only learned in the
law but the court itself should he held
IN such public manner as to throw
around its proceedings all the safeguard,
that are necessary to maintain popula,
confidence in and respect for the adj,
