Bic oranIte Sake settled.

By 100 majority, the Barre granite cut
ters decided at a mass meeting Saturday
afternoon to accept the proposition OF set
Element agreed to by the committees.
This action was taken on the advice OF
James Duncan, the national secretary,
who notified the cutters that IL they
didn't accept they need expect no more
support or strike pay from headquarters.
The meeting was quiet.
This vote means that the labor trouble
that has caused 1000 men in Washington
county to be idle since Nov. 10 is now at
an end.
This is the third vote the Barre branch
has taken on the question. Twice before
the bill was rejected.
The agreement runs for five years. The
wage rate for the first three years is 40
cents an hour, and for the last two years
sS.2 day.
This is an increase OF 10 cents day a
man over the old agreement for the first
three years, and is cents the last two
years. The increase will affect all men.
The bumper tool will be laid aside until
April /, from that date until June /, ii
may be used by wetting the stones, and
after June /, all tools must be equipped
with a dust removing device and IL the
tools are not so equipped they must be
laid aside until they are.
The matter OF Saturday half holiday is
left with the committees.
The bill Of prices will be raised in pro-
portion to the increase in wages.

A $4,000 Fire in Rutland.

The Sawyer building in Rutland, a
three-story brick structure, was badly
damaged by fire which started just be-
fore midnight Feb. II and was not extin-
guished until O'Clock next morning.
A three-story brick store house directly in
the rear belonging to II. A. Sawyer a Co.,
who occupied the ground floor OF the
main building, was Quilted. The occu-
pants are wholesalers OF groeers' supplies
and carried big stock, which is total
loss.
The other losers are the Marble City
Printing Co., and James j. Fay, book
binder, both OF whom occupied the third
door, II. W. Clement, coal office, tirst
floor, damaged by water. The Baxter
National Bank building on the south,
and the Oxford hotel on the north, opened
only few days before, were drenched,
but the fire did not get through the walls.
The loss will reach $4,000, well COW
cred by insurance.
The cause OF the FIRE Is unknown. II
was first discovered in the rear OF the sec
ond story OF the main building, having
evidently burned through from the store
house. 1t had big Roadway before it
could be seen from the street, bat the de-
partment confined il to the storehouse
and the rear portion OF the Sawyer build
ing. The Marble City presses were on
the upper floor of the store house and they
went through into the ruins of the Saw
yer stock. There were several carloads
OF paper among the company's effects

A power house in the rear OF the capitol
will be provided with fans to force the AIR

This fresh air will be distributed through
fiues entering the rooms either on the
floor or at the side of the wall through

hand, by another system OF ducts, will be
drawn out at the top Of the rooms to open

According to an act of the last legisla-

so late in the year now that it is doubtful
il the work could be completed by June.

No Evidence ofthe Corruption Alleged


To assume that q man of large means
cannot pursue a course entirely laudable
in poor man without the questionable
use OF those means, is periodically a
fsvorite part with certain Vermont news
papers and with certain irresponsible pro-
motors OF some other mans game.
Recently, this recurrent Inalady has
fixed its insinuations, il not actual culpa-
bic attacks, upon the candidacy OF Lieu
tenant Governor Mead for the governor
ship. That Doctor Mead has lived up to
the lessons taught by the parable of the
talents and, after industriously disposed
years, which have been laborious far be-
yond those creditable to most men. and
nov offers himself for service in Yer
monts highest office, causes all the dogs
that howl corruption" to run barking
at his heels. Some things in this world
are as they are for the same reason that
the tsetse fly exists in Central Africa, and
that deadly poison turks under many
forms everywhere, whatever the reason
may be.
Before this thing goes any farther, as
aimed al Doctor Mead's candidacy, would
it not be well for the agencies Of iackaI
tendencies to make little more sure Of
the premises from which they argue
IN ell Doctor Mead's life history, is

Frank Greene and the Governorshin

II Frank Greene would allow the use Of
his name it would be the only name mem
toned in the convention but he won't for
the simple reason that he can't afford to.
To be brutslly truthful be is too poor.
His income as governor would not be
enough TO support his large family and at
the same time cover tbs increased person
al expense devolving upon the incumbent
in that Office.
Mr.. Greene as an editorial writer, as a
public speaker, and as consistent, rea-
sonable and tireIess advocate of good
things has done more for the state Of Yer
mont than any other living Vermonter,
and it is to be regretted that the state is
not in position to do anything for him
in return, but the time will come when
Vermont can do her duty by this honest,
earnest and progressive young man.
When Hon. ID. J. Foster gets ready to
retire from the seat in Congress which he
now holds, it will not be surprising il the
voters OF the First District should insist
that Mr.. Greene take his place. The sal
airy Of a member Of Congress will at least
enable him to bring up his children and
also take care OF the invalid parents
whose support new devolves upon him.
