Charles A. Chase was arraigned be
fore Judge Bosworth in the police
court today on the charge of polygamy,
and bound over to the grand jury. The

Miss Sophie Bryant, who resides in

selves in communication with the wom-
an, who said that she was married to
Chase about six years ago in Thomp-
sonville. Conn. After Chase had lived
with her some time, the police state
that she informed him that she had
another husband, the statement being
made for the sole purpose of severing
her connection with him. Chase, ac,
cording to the police, married Miss
Jessie A. Andrus of Springfield last
June. He lived with the second wife
for about three months, deserving her
last fall. Since that time he has been
working about the country on farms,
and has not provided for wife No. 2.
The case of nonsupport of the second
wife, with which he was also charged,
was continued from day to day.

The Importance of Platforms.
Boston Transcript

Although Vermont will not vote for
state officers until September, 1898,
several gentlemen are already "prom-
iently mentioned" for the republican
nomination for governor. Z. S. Stanton
of Roxbury, Lieutenant Governor
Prouty and Allen NJ. Fletcher all have
friends who are anxious to see them in
the governor S chair at Montpelier.
The fact that the last election was not
republican landslide but simply a
republican success would seem to indi-
cate that Vermonters think that the
time has come when a candidate should
have some other program to offer than
a promise to CONTINUE the policies of
the administration.

people, who do not like the present
fish laws, feels like kicking more than
ever in view of the result Of the first
few DAYS of trout fishing under the
new law, which postponed the begin,

begin when the conditions for fishing
were unfavorable, to prevent depletion
On the recommendation of the state
fish and game commissioner the open

weeks. and il is safe to say that on
Wednesday, the first day of the open
season. as many trout were caught in
Windham county as would have been

On one brook alone more than $50
trout were caught, and fishermen were

The postmaster general of the Unit

puts in rural delivery carrier, he at
once transforms the highway he is to
traverse every week day into a post
road in the sense of the federal con
stitution. Congress has power to estab-
fish post roads, and the postmaster
general holds that when rural car
rier is put at work his route is post
road. 1t follows, therefore, says an OK
change, that he has the right of way,
on that road, and all other wagons
must get out Of his way-even automo-
biles and motor cycles. The postmas-
ter general has issued an order that
gives his thirty-odd thousand rural de
livery carriers the right of way on
their respective routes. 1t is ser

One by one the state papers are com
ing to see that the appointment of Ii
cense commissioners by the side judges
is working a practical notification OF
the principle of local option and is
yearly making the liquor business more
and more of political issue. 1t ought
to be kept out of politics and the way
to keep it out is for each town to elect
one member of a county board of
liquor commissioners. Every town in a
county is interested in the issuing Of
licenses whether they be in that town
or an adjoining town. The county is
the proper unit.
