Weather Conditions.

A depression of considerable depth
overlies the British possessions to the
north Of Montana and the trough of low
pressure extends southwark to New
Mexico. Rain has fallen in consequence
in southern Idaho, Nevada, Utah and
the eastern slope of the Rockies While
cloudiness generally prevails in Oregon
and Washington the only rain reported
was a light rain in western Wash
ington. Heavy rain has fallen along the
north Atlantic coast. Temperatures are
lower this morning in the intermoun-
tain ana the Atlantic coast states, and
correspondence warmer in the Missouri
valley. The weather remains unsettled
in this locality due to the prevailing
distribution of pressure and showers
are still probable tonight and Wednes-
day.

A COMMON MISTAKE.

Considerable wrong impression has
gone out concerning the granite tie.up
in Barre because OF tho fact that head.
writer's in the metropolitan journals
failed to difTerentiate between the quar-
rying and manufacturing ends Of the
industry. For instance, local CORE
spondent will send out report that the
cutters have agreed to terms OF settle
ment and the head-writer in the office
receiving the despatch sits down and
promptly writes a heading that the quar-.
rymen have settlcds which, Of course,
gives an entirely erroneous idea Of the
local situation. AS matter Of fact,
the negotiations between the cutters and
their employers on the one hand and the
quarrymen and their employers on the
other are az distinct as ii in two en-
tirely unrelated industries, although, to
be sure, in some instances owners Of
quarries are also manufacturers. How
ever, we hope that soon al disagree
ments will be settled 10 that head.
writer's in the metropolitan journals can
free their minds III this particular brand

CURRENT COMMENT.
W. Doll on Promises.

In commenting upon the announcement
of MIR. PIumley's candidacy for Congress,
the Rutland Herald Is entirely mistaken
IN its conclusion that 'thc chief argu-
ment against Col. Haskins seems TO be
some kind of trade or deal which the
friends Of the Mortified man claim was
entered into two years ago.
Political deals and trades are the
things MIR. Plumley has known the least
about HI hts successful career. It ii
true that two years ago Col. Haskins
was responsible for pretty general
understanding that IL he could then be
elected for another term in Congress he
would be satisfied to retire from public
life at its close.
Mr. plumley's candidacy, however, IS
based upon a higher plane than simply
seeking someone's congressional shoes
His friends believe that he II thoroughly
qualified VI render distinguished service
in Congress. He not only understands
the needs of the state, but he has d
large acquaintance throughout the coun-
try. A MAN OF sound Judgment, eide
experience and good executive ability
his committee work would be valuable
while a. an orator he would have few
siIperiors in the House. Mr., Plamley Is
also in full sympathy with progressive
legislation and could be depended on to
represent the sentiment OF Vermont iii
the general policies Of the present admin
istration
These in brief, are some of the reasons
on which Mr.. phmiav's candidacy is
based The News may say incidentally
that there appears To be q most cordial
sentiment among the voters in favor of
holding Col Haskins to his promise, I'M.
piled ait least, To retire at the end of
his present term. when lie win have
served longer time in Congress than
larger majority OF representatives from
Vermont IN the past.

contemporary will see that its mistaken
