The New Hampshire senatorshIp.

SlSirmishers are already being thrown
out in the big fight which will be waged
in the New Hampshire legislature for the
election of a United States senator.
Senator Burnham has been in Washington
six years and he has not been a shining
light. He seems timid after a man like
Chandler. who was inclined to ride rough
shod with his lance ready for a tilt. 1t
is safe to say that Burnham cuts
smaller figure in Washington than any
senator from New England with the pos
sible exception of Wetmore of Rhode
Island. 1t was thought that the Lincoln
club might endorse Winston Churchill
as a successor to Senator Burnham, but
the executive committee of that organi-
zation says the club was formed to pro-
mote principles and not the candidacy of
any individual or group of individuals
and distinctly repudiates the idea that
the club will put forward a candidate for
the United States Senate or for any leg
islative Office solely as a Lincoln club
man. The committee says the best
available candidate may not be n member
Of its organization. Gen. Frank Streeter
of Concord says his resignation of office
OF leading counsel for the Boston &
Maine railroad had no political signifi-
cance and that he will not be a candidate
for senator. Ex-Representative Baker
Of Bow is out with public declaration
that he is a candidate for the senatorship.

Conditions on the West River Railroad.

Conditions on the West River Railroad.
The dissatisfaction of the freight ship
pers along the line of the West River
railroad with the conditions on that road
and the service which they are able to
secure is given expression in a statement
printed on the I'd page OF this paper.
Briefly stated, the people along the line
OF that road feel that the improvements
promised when the road was changed
from the narrow to the standard gauge
have not been made. that they are need
lessly handicapped in their efforts to do
business, and that their complaints do not
receive proper attention from the officials
of the Central Vermont company. Our
own impression is that the local railroad
officials, Mr.. Nash. the superintendent
of the New London division. and Mr..
Burke, the Bratueboro station agent,
are using every means at their COM
mand to make the service on the West
River road as efficient as possible, and
that the real trouble lies. not in the in
tention or disposition OF any of the Cen
trail Vermont officials but in the failure
of the Grand Trunk headquarters office
at Montreal to put itself in touch with
broad enough to give this and other
leased lines suitable equipment to work
with
Aside from the shortage of freight
cars, a universal condition at the pres
ent time all over the country, and the
inconvenent or insufficient sidings, the
most serious trouble in the operation of
the road as a standard gauge has been

tween Brattleboro and West Dummerston-

ward the cultivation of good feeling and

Three murders in Vermont since the

fortunate that we have a penalty that

AS a matter Of fact does any one really
believe that either a capital punishment

Vermont has a successful young ex-
plorer in Russell w. Porter Of Springfield,
who is winning the praise OF scientists for
his recent work in Alaska, where with
DIR. Frederick Cook OF Brooklyn and Prof
e. c. Parker Of Columbia university he
made the first ascent OF Mt Mckinley
ever accomplished. The height OF the
mountain. as given by the government,
20.3o0 feet, was verified. and peak near
Mckinley, $1,000 feet high and never be-
fore explored, was mapped. Mr.. Porter's
work shows so sketches in black and
white, surveyors maps and several thou
sand photographs. The ascent OF the
mountains was difficult on account OF the
rarefied atmosphere and temperature
Of 16 degrees below zero was experienced.
Mr.. Porter, who is an architect by pro-
fession, accompanied Peary on two or
three of his Arctic expeditions.

Let us Get roaether.

The result of the village meeting on
Monday evening probably means that 1t
will be left for Mr.. Crowell to own and
operate his water system. 1t Is evident
that the village will not vote to buy his
system at the price which he has named,
and It is not within the range Of proba-
bility that the legislature will empower
the village to put in an independent COM
peting system under the situation which
has been developed in the negotiations
with Mr. Crowell. As the matter now
stands Mr.. Crowell is left in position Of
uncertainty which precludes any definite
action on his part, and which. II allowed

ume OF our water supply in case Of pro-
tracted drought II the village is not to

some form under which he can proceed to

been made by business men, who have
given the situation careful study. that
basis might be fixed under which Mr..
Crowell could complete his system in

and reserving the option to acquire the
system at stipulated price at any time
during this term. Under such an ar
rangement, carefully worked out, and
made secure by statutory enactment the
interests Of both Mr.. .Crowell and Of the
village would be fully protected.
Whatever we do, let us get together.
On no account let us imperil our present
prosperity and future growth by perpetu-
ating the unfortunate division which has
arisen over our water problem.

A strange poisoning case in Springfield.
Mass, resulted from eating beef tongue
in the refreshments prepared for the
wedding Of Samuel A. Brooslin and Miss
Anna Florence Slavin Tuesday night.
Sixty people are seriously i'll and one
death has occurred, the victim being Max
Odens, who was seized with gripping pains
and nausea. The beef tongue which pois-
oned the people was prepared by the
brides father, a butcher. He believes
that the food was tampered with after
the tables were set and physicians share
this opinion. There were 400 guests at
the wedding but only those who ate the
beef tongue were poisoned.

PASSED HIGHWAY BILL
Senate Accepted Measure Which
Originated in the House
Approaching Judseshlp Contests Attracted
More Attention Than Legislation at
Yesterdays Session.
MontpelIer. Nov. q.

Montpelier. Nov. %.
On Thursday, the fight for judgeships
overshadowed every other business.
Members were frequently called out in
the interests of candidates, self-imposed,
or selected and "button-holing" was the
order of the day. Just before recess an
nouncements were made OF the special
meetings OF the members from --
county" This gathering of the clans
was to try to unite on some candidate
or slate. Joint assembly is set for 1890
Friday morning. At this writing 1t looks
as though the first new judge to be elect
ed would be E. L. Waterman of Brattle
boro. II Senator .Taylor's name is the
second one named, and no other candidate
dares enter the lists with him, he will be
elected; II other names should be pro-
posed with his, there will be a tussle.
The names more prominently mentioned
apart from the two named above are ex-
Gov W. w. Stickney of Ludlow and Col.
A. A Hall of st. Adams. One of these
two, perhaps both, may be selected.
Sawdust occupied most of Thursday
morning, and was continued in the af-
ternoon. The stopping Of dumping saw
dust into streams is one of the things the
ali powerful Fish and Game league has
never yet brought about, though II has
been tried every session for the past 10
years. Mr.. Evarts of Windsor bravely
tackled the job this session with the
same result as heretofore. The bill was
killed by positive and vociferous mega
tive vote. AS a certain gentleman from
Waterbury said 1.-The vote was very
voluminous."
The Senate has passed the highway
commission bill and ordered the weekly
payment measure to lie.
House bill No. 95, the caucus law, re-
pealing the present law and making a
much improved law, has passed the
House; so has the bill to continue the
tuberculosis commission.
The Senate passed a bill directing all
the ballots from Bennington county to be
sent to Montpelier; the measure was re-
ferred to the committee on elections,
which asked leave to sit at once did so,
and In 10 minutes returned reporting the
bill adversely; so 1t was killed as was the
bill to give Burlington a brewery COM
pany of its own. The bill to reorganize
the auditors Office on a modern basis
has become a law, and makes provision
for accountant and clerks. etc.. to prop
erly attend to the state bookkeeping.
The Senate has confirmed the following:
Senator Pelton. of Franklin county. su-
pervisor of insane; DR.. Fred T. Kidder
of health; George H. Perkins, who will
continue to hold down the job designated
by the late John Currier OF North Troy
state bugologist'
Two members today were discussing
new judges. One said: But he's from
Brattleboro, aint he? Brattleboro
shouldn't have all the Offices, should it?"
To which the other replied. "I don't give
a (clam) for that. II the best man for
job happens to live there, why that's
Brattleboro's good luck"
