The railroad rate bill .yas passed by the
Senate Friday afternoon by a vote Of II
to g. The opponents of the measure at
the final test were Senators Foraker of
Ohio and Morgan and Pettus of Alabama.
All three were aggressively hostile to the
bill from the first Mr.. Foraker had tried
to amend 1t in accordance with his ideas
but the two Alabama senators were op-
posed to the original bill and all its
amendemnts on the old state rights"
issue. A part OF the work Friday was in
consideration of amendments. The agree
ment between the Roosevelt and Aldrich
Republicans was fiagrantly violated and
the control Of the courts over interstate
commerce commission begun by the Allison
amendment was completed by striking out
the words "in his judgment" Many
senators voted to strike out these words,
believing they would render the bill un-
constitutional Senator Tillman did not
regard the bill as the best one which
could have been obtained. but he paid q
tribute to the President, saying that but
for his bringing the question Of rate legis-
lation before Congress there would have
been no bill.

A majority Of the Senate Isthmian
canal committee hdve voted in favor Of
a sea level canal at Panama. Their de-
cislon was fixed through the recent earth
quake in California, as it was apparent
that such a disturbance on the isthmus
would play havoc with the locks Of a
canal. 1t is recalled in this connection that
II was the eruption OF Mont Pelee which
defeated the Nicaraguan canal project.
The engineers estimate that it would re
quire from seven TO nine years to COM
plete a lock canal at Panama, and the
cost Is figured at sftO,0OOOOO. while a
sea level canal will cost about s247, 900, 900
and take 12 to Is years for the building.
1t is believed. however, that II lock
canal should be built first it would be
necessary within short time to redIee II
to a sea level. which would involve an
additional expense Of s209,O0O,OOO aside
from the original cost Of sl40.0O0.O 900.

BRATTLEBORo, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1906.
The responsibility for That $4,000.

The Brattleboro Phoenix gave as a
reason why Congressman Haskins should
be reelected the fact that he was instru-
mental in getting a bill through Con-
gress putting $150,000 into the state
treasury in full settlement of the old war
claims Of Vermont VS.. the federal gov
ernment. The Montpelier Argus charges
that it cost $4,000 in attorneys fees.
Who got that big slice? This is a very
serious charge.-[ Burlington Clipper.
The above is a fair sample Of the poliu-
cal discussion in which certain papers see
ft to indulge. Nothing directly is charged,
but the inuendo points to graft and
couples Congressman Hasxns's name
with the process Either the Argus or
the Clipper could have told all about the
$40, 900 in attorneys fees. The legislature
OF 1898 passed a bill authorizing the gov
ernor and auditor Of accounts to employ
agents on behalf Of the state at such
compensation as they might determine
payable out Of the sums that might be
collected and without any liability on
behalf of the state for any expense ito
present, prosecute and recover before the
Congress, any department, the court Of
claims or the supreme court Of the Uni
ses properly incurred by the state for en-
rolling, subsisting, clothing, supplying,
arming, equipping. paying and transport
ing its troors in aiding to suppress the
insurrection against the United States be-
tween the years 1S61-65," etc. In the first
session OF the 57th Congress an act was
passed. making an appropriation to sup
ply deficiencies in which $3.50. 1886 was
appropriated for the state Of Vermont on
the old war claims. The secretary of the
treasury issued a warrant for $125, 1886,
but withheld S155 900, claiming that the
state owed the government for ordnance
| furnished the state militia at the time Of
the ST. Albans raid and thereafter.
| Through the efforts OF the attorneys the
claims and counter claims between the
United States and the state Of Vermont
were declared settled, one offsetting the
other and the s155,0O was paid to the
state. The bill which resulted in this
payment being made was engineered
through the House by Congressman Has
lxins. The 900 was paid to attorneys
one in Washington, who prosecuted sim
liar claims for other states. and two ir
Vermont, who originally took the matter
in charge. The state OF Vermont received
total sum of $4,000, which was made
permanent school fund. The contrac
with the attorneys who received the $40, ,O0l
was made by Gov. w. w. Stickney anC
the state auditor. who were empowered t
take such action through the Joint reso
luton adopted by the legislature Of 1895
Any criticism that the fee, $4,000, wa
excessive should he aimed at the Vernon
legislature or this governor and audito
who acted under the authority of tn
legislature and not toward any OF tn
states represer tatives in Congress. Mass
achusetts and other states have had a
experience similar to this and the fees o
some state claims have amounted
hundreds OF thousands of dollars.

Senator DulInoham's immigration Bill.

Senator Dillingham;. chairman Of the
committee on immigration, called up in
the Senate Tuesday the bill amending
the immigration laws. He said the meas
ure was intended to strengthen the law
of 1908, which is working admirably. He
did not accept some Of the popular the
ories concerning immigration, but held to
the belief that the influx Of foreigners is
regulated by the labor market-that in
dun times the number is small and in
good times large as, for instance, 1,O26,-
900 in 1907, as compared with $4,000 in
1898. He also found encouragement In
the fact that over so per cent. Of the i'm
migrants are between the ages OF IA and
A, or at the age when persons are least
liable to become public charges Some
weak spots had been found In the pres
ent law he said, and 1t was the purpose
OF the pending bill to strengthen them.
1t was, he added, intended to keep out
a still larger number OF the defective
classes. Senators Piles Of Washington
and Perkins OF California criticised the
present law as too lax in the admission OF
insane persons, but Mr.. Dillingham; re-
piled that the law had not been sufficiently
tried to justify its condemnation.
The Dillingham; bill was passed by the
Senate Wednesday after adopting SEN
ator Lodges educational test, which re-
quiIes evidence of ability to read on the
part OF adult immigrants. The bill con-
tains a provision for an information
bureau to direct immigrants to IhosC
places where work and the most advan-
tageous conditions await them.

The attempt of Walter Wellman, an
American newspaper correspondent. to
reach the north pole in a dirigible bal
loon. which was regarded as chimerical
when announcements of the plan were
first made, is attracting great attention
in Paris. Major II. B. Hersey, former
Vermonter. left France this week for
Tromsoe, Norway, where he will meet
and conduct to Danes Island the first
Tarty OF the expedition. Eighteen expert
workers will accompany him to put to-
gether the building in which the balloon
will be housed One hundred mechanics
are now at work constructing the motors
and over 100 other men are employed on
various appliances connected with the
airship. Mr.. Wellman purposes to start
from the exact spot on which Andre and
his two companions made their illfated
expedition in an immense balloon.

The Congressional leaders, VINO do not
relish the prospect Of sticking to work
in Washington during the protracted hot
weather, are planning to bring the present
session to a close with a slam on or about
June /. This means that the Philippine
tariff bill viii be abandoned, and that no
legislation win be enacted governing the
type OF the Panama canal. Efforts will
be centred in breaking the deadlock on
the statehood bill Oklahoma and Indian
territory will be admitted as one state
and probably some agreement will be
reached in regard to New Mexico and
Arizona. The amended railroad rate bill
which was passed by the Senate viii go

to It a provision increasing tho salaries OF
members of the Interstate commerce COM
mission to $4,000 each.

A Selfish Candidacy.
INorthheld News.l

II is not surprising that so little is said
for Gov. Bells candidacy for Congress,
even by the two or three newspapers
which have undertaken to support him
in his continued political aspirations
The fact Is that whatever can be said
in favor of Gov Bell can be said with
equal or greater truth for Representative
tive Haskins, while the latter with his
experience as a legislator. a parliament
tartan, a public speaker, and the stand
ing he has acquired in Congress makes
him by all manner of reckoning the
most valuable man for the voters of the
Second district TO continue in Congress.
It has probably occurred to most of the
farmers that agricultural interests are
looked after pretty carefully by the whole
Vermont delegation and that in fact Yer
mont could not well be better represented
in this respect in the House than 1t is at
present by Col. Hasiins.
other things that many farmers are
suggesting when approached by Gov.
Belts workers: II the Vermont farmers
are to be especially represented in Con-
gress by one OF their number, as advo-
Gated by these political workers. isn't 1t
about time to divide up? Isn't 1t pretty
selfish for one man, who has held some
kind of a paying state office for good
many years and is now governor, to
crowd for still more ONCE, while yet
holding this honored position?
What would be the matter with be-
slowing the office on some other farmer
when there are at least a hundred in the
state just as well qualified for Congress
as Gov. Bell? Would his workers be as
| concerned about having practical
farmer in the Vermont delegation II II
was likely TO be some other man thar
the governor?
The above and other suggestions from
practical farmers to the Bell workers
although full OF wisdom, are not calcu-
lated to encourage the latter, but they
will of course continue to do everything
possible to secure support for Bell.
II the News is not greatly mistaken
however, in the temper of the people
they will let we'll enough alone and thu
end will be a disappointment to Mr.
Bell and his friends.
