DETERIORATION IN MAINE FAIRS

49, a 1~AhAN41eSAAA1 As 14f NAAAiAfA4 a AtA4Ek9
Some of the agricultural fairs in Maine
must have reached low state of gov.
eminent to permit practices which called
forth such scathing denunciation az
that poured out to his students by Presi-
dent Hyde of Bowdoin college in Maine
on Sunday. President Hyde referred
particularly to the gambling devices
which are allowed to flourish like the
green-bay tree in the Maine country
fair. 1t viii be recalled that for several
seasons past the Vermont fair associa-
tions have been waging an unoeasing
warfare on this very evil, and many Of
them are now able to report that no
gambling devices are now tolerated, while
the few fairs which have not needed the
public appeal for better morals on fair
grounds are in position to note the
better tone which has attached itself to
their more active and responsive neigh.
bors.
In calling attention to the conditions
he had noted, President Hyde said:
Il could not help contrasting these
exhibitions Of indecency and fraud with
corresponding fair which | attended
about the same time a year ago-the
cattle market in Thun Switzerland. The
Swiss peasants with their families were
there from far and near But there was
nothing indecent, nothing dishonest; no
fakirs and no frauds. Everything offered
for sale was Of substantial value at q
fair price"
Having thus drawn the picture and
having declared that the Maine farmer
is far above the Swiss farmer in intelli.
genee and character, President Hyde ap.
pealed to the grangers Of Maine to strike
cut this gambling parasite which has
attached itself to the agricultural fair
and is fast robhing it OF its bold on
decent people An this has been said
already in Vermont and to good effect
too Vermont thus adds its voice in
heartily seeonding the distinguished ed
uostor's assertion, at the same time
calling attention to the satisfactory re.
suits achieved by many a fair sssocia-
ton.

EXPLOSION NEAR PALACE.
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria Were
Not Near 1t.

barcelona, Oct. 27.-The authorities
were greatly alarmed yesterday after.
noon by the explosion of a petard in one
Of the streets. but the police, after an
investigation, expressed themselves as
attaching no Importance to the incident,
as King Alfonso and Queen Victoria were
not within miles Of the place where the
explosion occurred
Earlier in the day the King and Queen
visited the French squadron lying in the
harbor. and their launch came into coli.
sion with c steam ferry with such yio-
ence that several Of those ON board
were thrown to the deck. For a moment
there was something of panic. The
damage done was only superficial and
both boats were able to proceed.

TREspAss on RAnRoAp TRAcKs.

The state board Of railroad commits
sioners will investigate this most recent
fatality on the rail at Montpelier; but
we know their verdict already. It viii
be to the effect that one Richard Fountain
lost his life while trespassing on the
property of the Central Vermont railroad
company. Ths-s is growing frequency
Of fatalities in this section Of Mont
pelier owing to the settled practice Of
pedestrians In making of the railroad
tracks a public thoroughfare. The track
Of the Central Vermont, for instance,
is the shortest route between the Pioneer
section and the main part of Montpelier.
and it is travelled so frequently that peo-
pie are not only careless of the approach
of trains, but they have taken to board
ing the trains as they slow down for
the double railroad crossing with the
Montpelier & Wells River tracks. It is
more than probable that the victim of
this most recent fatality fooEshly tried
to board train as 1t was moving toward
Montpelier and that he lost his hold on
account of the darkness and was swept
beneath he wheels. That is one phase
Of this trespass eyila rapidly growing
evil in Vermont, we may say.

Judge zed S. Stanton.

The elevation of Zed s. Stanton to
the bench of the superior court has
commended itself to the bar Of the
state. Rutland county was entitled
to Judge at this time, especially as
the proposed hegira of Judge Water
man from Brattlehoro to Rutland has
not been accomplished, but is was
deemed inexpedient to present the name
of Henry /. Clark at the Joint assem-
bly, for the reasons that have to do, not
with the sterling qualities of the man
endorsed by the bar of this county but
with the peculiar development Of the
situation as it appeared on the morn
ing and day of the election.
Judge Clark was not nominated be-
cause the great strength Of Stanton
leaped Immediately to formidable pro-
portions when the fact was announced
that Senator F. NJ. Butler was not a
candidate. 1t was not only impracti-
cable, but impossible to have created
at the eleventh hour significant and
effective strength for candidate who
entered the contest after the lines had
been rather strictly drown.
In Judge Stanton the bench acquires
iurist of moderate and judicial mind
versed in practice and well founded in
the law, man whose personal worth
and integrity have been set forth in
these columns and others Of the state
press so many times that he is perhaps
one of the best known men in the state
today and possesses the esteem alike
of lawyer and layman.
incidentally, it may be proper to
note that Judge Staneton's assumption
OF the ermine viii set at rest some
decidedly unquiet doubts in the minds

CURRENT COMMENT.
cans f0r state Fair AUTHORIZATION.

Vermont is one Of the very few states
that makes no appropriation for state
fair, and it is very modest sum asked
OF the legislature as compared with what
other states donate for their annual
agricultural show. 1t is state institu-
ton, and the objection to an appropria.
ton on the ground that county fairs,
town fairs, street parade or a local
brass band have the same claim to a
subsidy IL somewhat inconsistent and

The effuigence Of last week at Mont

the conviction that the Prouty admins.
tration has achieved one distinction at
least, that of being one Of the most bril-
liant socially during the past two dec
AIDES. With this conquest away, the
administration will now feel that there
are other worlds to conquer besides the
social world.

Harry Daniels of East Montpelier was
the first man on the floor of the House
to put up a protest to the provision Of
Mr.. Howe's deer bill allowing doe to
be shot as well as bucks. IIe didn't
think deer were becoming so numerous
as to warrant such measure and
he also believed it to be in the inter.
est of safety in avoiding accidents to
prohibit doe being shot. This was
Monday afternoon, and, upon motion of
Mr.. Howe, who said there were several
absent who intended TO speak for the
bill, ii was made special order for this
afternoon at 1880 Indications are that
the bill will pass as il has come through
the committees hands unscathed and
the farmers club has voted for it unaui-
mously.

At the opening Of the fourth week Of
the Legislature, l54 bills had been in
trodueed in the two houses, l2l in the
House and 33 in the Senate. But two
measures had become laws. the emer-
gency close season bill and the measure
allowing St. Adams to issue bonds to the
extent of $4,000. The Senate, on its
part, had passed six bills and the House
two, although in the latter body several
are on the racks for third reading.
There is but a week more in which bills
can be introduced and as there have
been as many as 500 or 800 in the House
in past years, either there are fewer
bills coming in this year than usual
(which would be good thing or more
likely the revision committee will be
deluged with them during the next

The proposed law is to be recon :

the president and republican leaders

The leaders have declined so far, how

include the bill to modify the anti
