The St. Adams Raid.
lBoston Transcript.l


Ex-Governor Ormsbee of Vermont has
hred what is probably the last shot at
General Bennett H. Young of Kentucky,
as the latter withdraws from all partici-
patton in the Champain Tercentenary eel
ebratlon. For the benefit of those who
have not heard of the controversy that
has rumbed round the mountains of Yer
mont, 1t may be explained that General
Young when Lieutenant Young led the
rad OF Confederates on st. Adams, in the
autumn OF 1864. The st. Adams tercen-
tenary committee in the spirit of fratern.
lty invited him to be the orator of the
local Champlain observances. but Union
veterans headed by Ex-Governor Ormsbee
protested that while they could forgive
ana forget much they held Young and his
raiders unforgivable. General Young
thereupon Withdrew his acceptance of the
invitation to deliver the Grafton, and the
cruel war is over. Putting aside the ques-
ton whether raid on a peaceable town
Tar removed from the area of hostilities
an invasion surreptitiously organized in
the territory of neutral, is legitimate
warfare, the invitation to General Young
was not happy, since it is not shown that
ne was better fitted TO eXpound Cham
plans life and works than many a ma
tive Nermonter. The invitation had the
aspect OF commercial proposition de-
vlsed to attract the attendance of those
curious to see the leader of the st. Al
bans raid. There is a certain kind of for
glVeness that smacks OF sycophancy, and
we tear that 1t is not entirely absent
from some occasions for fraternizing the
Blue and the GRAY.

The Roll of Honor.
( Burlington News.)


The Barton Monitor prints what it
says is the first complete and correct list
of those members of the legislature who
left part or the whole of the extra pay
voted the last of the session with the
state at the time of adjournment. The
list follows:
Thomas G. Cheney, all of extra pay, to
school fund.
F. c. Williams, Newport, all of extra
pay for school fund
Senator Edward Orvis of Manchester,
all of extra pay. for fish and game fund.
Sen. E. I. Fairbanks of st. Johnsbury
$4,000, or the amount accrued before Jan
uary |, 1909. to general fund
Sen. W. E. Bliss of Calais, all of extra
pay to general fund.
Representative E. p Adams of Marl-
boro, all of extra pay to general fund.
Representative Arthur L. Hewitt of
Berlin, $500 to be applied on state taxes
of town of Berlin.
The Monitor says that it takes great
pleasure in printing the list in order that
every man on it may receive full credit.
We are pleased to note the name of one
Orleans county member on the list and if
every county had just one such member
The list would have contained IA names
instead of only eight. Mr.. Williams was
me of the first to oppose the bill on the
loor of the house, voted against the meas
Ire and then left the extra" there. We
believe this roll of honor and are glad |
o give it all the publicity possible"

Only One War Governor Left.

burlington News.
The passing way of Ex-Governor Freder-
lex Holbrook leaves Ex-Governor William
Sprague of Rhode Island in the lonely DO
sition of the last surviving war governor
of the north.
The name of Ex-Governor Crawford of
Kansas has been associated with that of
Ex-Governor Sprague but it appears that
he was not really war governor The
Providence Journal states the case thus:
'As matter of fact, Ex-Governor Will
liam Sprague of Rhode Island is the sole
survivor of the historic group of state
executives who held office during the trou-
blous days of the Civil war. though ex-
Governor Crawford of Kansas has a nomi-
nal claim to inclusion in the coterie. Mr..
Sprague was in office in lS60-62, and was
therefore called upon to bear the brunt of
the Rhode Island forces at the
outset of hostilities, but Mr. Crawford did
not become governor until January. 1866.
when the war was practically at an end
No one would wish to detract from his
deserved fame, and vet it is only a mat
ter of justice to Governor Sprague to
mark the difference in the character of
the wartime services they rendered.

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?

An aged resident of Dummerston Hill
was brutally assaulted last week by a
drink-crazed desperate who had formerly
been in his employ. Two women who
were passing the house at the time found
out what was going on and at once tele-
phoned to Brattleboro for an officer to ar
rest the assailant. The first thing the
deputy sheriff wanted to know was, we
are told, who was going to be responsible
financially for his trip to the scene of the
crime. Very naturally the woman re-
piled with some show of indignation that
she didn't know, and hung up the re-
ceiver. After several hours a Dummers-
ton officer was induced to make trip to
Dummerston Hill but of course he found
no trace Of the criminal Here certainly
is pretty state of thingsl A brutal as
sault, immediate notification of the au-
thonties and no officer on the scene until |
hours too late to be Of any servicei Per |
haps the deputy sheriff was right in re-
fusing to make the trip without being sure |

POLITICAL DOINGS.

THEY'RE doing considerable talking
about the next governorship up in Frank
lin and Lamoille counties. Each of these
counties, it seems, has two candidates IN
the field, and the situation in each county
is peculiarly alike In Franklin county are
DIN Merrill of Enosburg and Charles w.
Gates of Franklin. The former has had
his boom booming for some time and has
political workers in all parts of the state,
Int he is confronted with the annoying
likelihood of not being able to carry his
own county. Mr.. Gates, on the other
hand while not especially strong through
ont the state on account of having done
no active work, could capture his own
county from the Knight of the SPAWN
Cure without half trying, it is said, And
the situation in Lamoille county is like
INTO that in Franklin Thomas c. Che
ney, speaker of the last house of repre-
sentatives and one of those righteous NOR
tails who spurned tainted coin, has no

told by those who pretend to have In
vestigated the matter. Here indeed are
two interesting situations, which mean
that politics will be lively in Franklin
Lamoille counties henceforth.
We wouldn't be devoting so much space
to a discussion of the future were it not |
for the fact that emissaries Of the various
candidates for the governorship are al
ready looking over the situation in this
corner of the state and setting stakes with |
the idea of erecting wires when the proper |
time arrives. The powers that-be, it is to |
be expected, will line up in the ranks of
Mr.. Merrill because they owe him poll
teal debt, although why a man who was
collector of the port for eight years at
salary of $4,000 per should be due any |
thing is more than the uninitiated can
understand. When Lieut.. Governor Man |
sur scored up for the last gubernatorial
race some one promptly put him out of
the running by calling attention to the
fact that he had fed 40 years at the pub
ic crib" Mr.. Merrill may not have been
feeding that length of time but it is safe

The opening of the Windham county
fishing season is thirty days earlier than
in the rest of the state, and, on this par
ticular spring, high water and excessively
cold weather have delayed it still more.
The consequence has been that there has
been no rush for the trout brooks. A
man here, and there has gone out for a
day ON the brooks, and, strange to say,
has brought home fair String" There
have been no large catches and the early
fishing has tended to make the trout con
slderably wary and shy OF the lure. This
does not hurt the sport as the skilfu
fisherman can still land the speckled beau
ties, if he knows how.
Meanwhile, Rutland county and the
rest of the state is waiting for the 18th,
when the usual, annual, murderous rush
for the trout brooks will begin. The tes
timony from practical fishermen is to the
effect that the law ''works' in Windham
county. Perhaps we can all learn from
territorial form of government.

Springfield Takes Our Advice.

The Brattleboro board of trade has
adopted a new slogan, namely, Fifteen
thousand in 1915" Thus it would be nee
essary in order to reach that mark for
the town to increase in population at the
rate of 1000 year for six years. y
What is true in one town in this respect
is quite true in another and Springfield
has as great if not greater opportunity
for expansion as Brattleboro. We are re.
covering from the shock of the depression
in good form and with the establishing
of the new machine shop, the renewed ac-
tivity of the old ones and the business
like manner in which the board of trade
under its new administration has taken

for large increase in Springfeld's popu-
