A Remarkable Landslide.

The little Swiss village Kiethal, situated in the
picturesque valley of the same name, favorte
mer resort, has been destroyed by calamity as
strange it overwhelming. The valley lies to
the right of the Kanderthal, opening the south
at Rechenbach and stretching to the Ganscha1 Gla-
cer.
It's destruction has been caused by landslide that
took form having but few parallels in Alpine
ords At height of about $500 feet the mountain
side for length of about 800 feet and for a width
of ninety feet seemed to collapse, but instead of
falling in mass the earth seemed to shake itself
loose and poured slowly down to the valley in a
floor of sitting sand about twelve feet deep.
Nothing could stop the flowing Two fire
men persisted in the attempt, and it has been found
impossible to reach for their bodies In a couple
of days it had destroyed than dozen of the
houses in the tree-sheltered village known to so
many tourists, and at latest dispatches was still
pressing on in its terrible to complete the
work of devastation.

The Constitutional WAY.

Upon the promise of the Governor of Nevada to
convene the Legislature of his State the President of
the United States says he will retain at that point
portion of the federal military guard posted at Cold
field, Nevada, few weeks ago. The Legislature has
teen reluctantly called to assemble that it may ask
the general Government, a constitutional way, to
protect the State from domestic violence, though
there is some doubt about the course the LegiSla-
ture will pursue after it has been convened.
The Constitution prescribes that the general Gov
eminent shall protect the States against domestic
violence the application of the Legislature, or of
the executive when the Legislature cannot be con-
vened The Legislature of Nevada has not yet
asked for the protection guaranteed by the Const-
tuition though there has been nothing to prevent
the coming together of the Legislature, and when
the President directed the garrisoning of Goldfeld
in compliance with the Governors request he acted
beyond his authority
He seems to have slowly comprehended his posi-
ton before the people and to have realized that the
precedent established by President Cleveland at the
time of the Chicago riots is not sustained by the
fundamental law of the Nation
Nevertheless the President will continue in error,
if common report is correct until such time the
Governor of Nevada assemblies his belated Legisla
ture that it may conform to constitutional require

Presidential Developments.

The past two weeks have not developed any note
worthy change in the Presidential situation on the
Republican side of the controversy, unless there is
truth in the newspaper gossip that charges Mr..
Taft's manager with advising him to break away
from Mr.. Roosevelt and his campaign outside
the glare of reflected light. Whether the manager
suspected treachery concluded that the support
of the President damaging to the prospects of
his principal since the developments that have come
out of the panic not stated in connection with
the circulation of the alleged conclusion of the
manager
There has been intense silence in administration
circles since Mr. Tafts return and the subsequent
outbreak at the White House that punctured the
boom of Mr.. Cortelyou.
Mr. LaFollette is creating unexpected stir in
Nebraska, State that was pledged to Taft by the
last Republican State convention. Since the final
positive withdrawal of Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. LaFol-
1ete has been giving attention to Nebraska and with
considerable success The State is radically pro-
gressive in both of its parties and the Republicans
cannot themselves that Mr.. Taft ever
dorsed the policies of the administration or defined
his position any of the important issues He is
merely guaranteed by Mr.. Roosevelt, who has made
many mistakes in his estimates of
1t is said that the Wisconsin Senator will control
the Minnesota delegation and that he is making
gains in Kansas, Iowa, Oklahoma and South Da-
kota The prairie state Republicans believe in the
radicalism of Mr.. L4aFollette and are inclined to
doubt the pretensions of Mr.. Taft who in con-
spicuous fellowship with the corporation machine
factions when visiting that section of the West.
The entire administration combination, nominally
for REFORM opposed to Mr. LaFollette, fact that
gives zest to the LaFolette campaign in the Middle
West where he is recognized as the open opponent
of the Secretary of War. The Wisconsin man has
developed strength in the East A poll of the League
of Republican Clubs of the State of New York gave
him second place, placing him only few hundred
votes behind Governor Hughes, the favorite son of
the league, if not of the committee.
In National Democratic circles Presidential
suggestions being made, general confidence in
the nomination of Mr.. Bryan being unmpaired.

ments 1t is said that a portion or ALL of the
troops sent to Goldheld will remain there for the
present.
1t is believed that the constitutional course
avoided by the Governor because he felt that the
Legislature would fail to recognize the necessity
for Federal intervention there being no evidence
of domestic violence outside the apprehensions of
the mine owning class If So the protection desired
by the mine owners while they were changing the
entire system of labor in their Mines would not have
been forthcoming.
1t is true that there was reasonable ground for
expectation that trouble might if the plan
of the mine carried out, but the Federal
Constitution does not contemplate National assist
to a class of citizens while they deliber-
ately preparing to produce a condition that may
result in domestic violence.
If the word of the suspected element of mine
workers be depended upon there is and has
been danger of any act of violence their
part at Goldheld But their employers choose to
discredit their promises and the of at
Washington has fit to give undue encourage
ment to their preconceived estimate of an untried
situation.
In the State of Nevada there is no domestic mil
itary organization such as is generally maintained
by the States and the civil police constitutes the
only authority that could be summoned in case of
serious disorder until such time the general
Government might constitutionally go to the
Lack of means of military defense against the law
less is always likely to inspire early, and pre-
mature appeal to the strong of the Nation, but
in this there is reason why the general Govern
ment should take measures beyond the authority
it possesses and establish precedents that ight
serious consequences some time in the future.
The population of Nevada is composed chiefly of
mine owners and mine workers of
capital and labor. The middle class the bulwark of
State and Nation is sparsey in evidence and should
the State undertake the organization of militia
force it would have to be recruited largely from
the ranks of the mine workers. The representatives
of capital seldom place themselves behind the guns
for domestic or National Defense having relied
through all ages upon the yeomanry for protection
that can be bought only with blood.
Between its two extremes, Nevada is defensivey
weak and will remain so until it can harmonic the
differences between its producers of wealth and its
proprietors of wealth Until it can establish terms
with itself, it is perhaps not undeserving of the
menace to peace that is constantly disturbing its
elements.

W. +. S. CELLEY.

Early Monday morning came the
news of the sudden death of William
E. S. Celley at his home in Fairlee.
A very serious attack of meningitis
two yeart ago, left him in impaired
health, but, of late, he has appeared
to be out-growing this condition.
Death came to him by a cerebral
hemorrhage, while he was at work
in his garden about $50, Monday
morning.
While he was born in Roxbury,
Mass, Jan. Z, 1888, the son of Ben
jamin and Jane (Sawyer) Celiey, he
has lived the most of his life in
Bradford and Fairlee. Two years
ago, he moved to Fairlee village to
live. In politics he was a Repub-
lican, and as a public man, he has
held the various offices within the
gift of the town, and he was a MEM
Der of the State Legislature in 1876.
He was a religious man and he was
always interested in those things
in which a church takes especial
interest. He has for many years
been a steward in Grace Church,
here, of which he was an active
member. June Is, 1865, he was
married to Jane c. Moore, of West
Fairlee, beside whose grave his
body was laid on Thursday. In
September, 1902, he was married to
Mrs. Angela Pierce, who survives
him. He also leaves a son, George,
by the first marriage, and an adopt
ed daughter, H. Evelyn Celley. of
Brockton, Mass.
A prayer service was held in
Fairlee at $50 yesterday morning,
and the funeral was from Grace
Church, Bradford, at IL o'clock,
Rev. Messrs. +. A. Legg of Grace
Church and j. Z. Heath of Pier
mont officiating. A. +. Hale was
funeral director. The interment
was in the family lot in the ceme-
terry on the upper plain. He lived
his life so that men may say Of him:
