his raiment was such as to make

Twelve dollars week." replied

FRANK B. HOWE, Editer and Publisher
whose Repor, Is i. ?

"A SpeCl6l u6SphVCu iTOm mOuppciicT
to the Rutland Herald says:
Gov. Bell said today In regard to
the report OF Attorney General Fits
on the beef investig alton that he was
not yet ready to make it public and
did not know how soon 1t would
be ready. When asked II IL
were not Q fact that the attorney-gen-
eral had recommended the removal OF
the entire board of cattle commission
ers, he responded mo sir, there is no
such recommendation In the report. "
Among the recommendation which he
will make In his annual message will
be one asking for the better regulation
Of the payment OF money for diseased
cattle. He believes that under the
present system of remuneration there
Is velvet for some one. His message
to the Legislature will be brief and will
contain but few recommendations.
Governor Bell should ask himself
the question, Whose report 10 1t? He
Is exceeding his right as chief OF the
state when he withholds from the pub
lie land the uewspspcrs) document
OF such Importance 10 every citizen as
this report. He believes there Is "vel.
vet for some one In the present system
does hep What does he base this be-
lief on? Have we got to take his word
for 1t or can we have the facts and see
for ourselves? There Is pleasure
In the thought that his message will be
brief. What the people want Is facts
not recommend atoms just now. Whose
report Is il? The governors or the
peoples? -Brattleboro Reformer.
Since the above was printed the re
port has been made public by Govern
or Bell but the Reformer brings up q
point that deserves o little attention.
When q report bearing on the public
service reaches the governor, Is 1t his
duty to at once make IL public by Civ
ing II to the newspapers. We think
not.
The governor Is the executive officer
Of the state and as such should pay his
attention wholly to the public good.
A report like this might possibly con
tain findings that would render 1t i'm
peratiye to demand the designations
Of group Of public officers, yet the
business of the state must go on and
the governors duty would be to see
that the routine of q department be
not interrupted without q preparation,
to prevent its sffairs from falling into
q chaotic condition. II Is the govern
or's duty to hold q report OF this kind
until he becomes familiar with II and
is prepared to xrspple with the prob.
lens II may present.
In due time: reports, like all other
public business, belong TO the public
and should 60 to them through the
regular news channels and the Banner
10 glad to testify that II has always
noted on the part of Governor Bell q
disposition to aid the public and their
agents, the newspapers, BY promptly
and freely furnishing oil reasonable
information.
Ia their continuous hustle for news
the newspaper are prone to forget tina,
sll delays are not dangerous but are
sometimes necessary TO prevent dan
ger. The Reformer was too hasty.

The storm here was terrific, the tide
rising six feet higher than 1t has in fifty
years before, the only storm of equal
violence here being in 1856. The winl
came from the east, driving the waves
from the gulf entirely over the narrow
neck of land at the entrance of the
hnrbor. Every wharf on the bay was de.
molished. and there Is not one left fit to
land supplies. The damage will aggre-

Is piled high with wreckage.
