uNcALLEn EoR CRITICISM

We would suggest that Speaker
Howe work 'em nights. He knows
what it is to go back after supper in
his own business and do half a days
work. Show EN- how to do a good
days work for the state.-Waterbury
Record.
This is a fair sample of long dis
lance criticism OF the legislature by
those who ought to know more about
conditions at the capital. At the
present time the legislators are work
ing nights and to late hour at that,
not in general session, but holding
anywhere from a few to dozen or
more committee meetings and hear
ings. They're working all right even
II not holding general sessions and
criticisms like the above are absol-
ute.y uncalled Montpelier Az

Another "Dry" Day.

The hint dropped yesterday by Mr..
Peck, of Burlington, in the house that
one poin. nf opposition to any more
holidays Which the passage Df the ca
lumbus day bill would create. was
the fac. that y would require saloons
to close another day, and that there
was on the way to the Speakers table
a bill covering the matter Of minor
holidays in this respect The intor-
nation that the saloon interests were
quietly working against the bill
caused surprise, and II true must be
of the gumshoe variety for there has
been no outward appearance. The
principal argument made against the
bill on general principles was that
the state had holidays enough and
that there should be less instead OF
more. However, holidays never
create hardship. Even banks which
close when circus comes to town,
offer no objection to the day. II is
argued that Massachusetts and New
York with which states Vermont
does the most Of her banking observe
this day, as we'll as 13 other leading
states Of the country. A large por-
ton Of the people of the state desire
to honor the memory Of Columbus
| by making the day on which he set
/ foot on American soil holiday The
measure was favorably reported by
the general committee of the house
Tuesday ard its friends felt so well
satisfied that 1t would have the sup
port of the house like the majority
of bills receiving favorable reports,
that it was allowed to take its course.
| When the question of reading the
measure the third time came before
the house the affirmative was light
and those who had a natural and
probably honest opposition to the bill
rounded out a vociferous negative.
The vote was declared in the mega
tive by Mr.. Amey, who was in the
chair; AS it was plainly evident
that there was a majority in favor of
the bill, many of whom did not vote,
surprising there was no question
about the bill passing, that they i'm
mediate'y urged a reconsideration,
Mr.. Peck, OF Burlington, who voted
with the opposition to the bill con
sented to move reconsideration
and did so few minutes later, and
the house moved to reconsider by a
vote OF 105 yes and n no. The
friends of the measure believe thai
vote indicated a majority and let the
bill go to a third reading and this
was so ordered by a vote OF 80 ye.
and SO no, some members not votinl
, either way. The bill comes up for {
third reading this afternoon and III,
chances are that II will pass thu
, house by an increased majority

FARMER BROWNS HIMSELF
said to Have Been Despondent over
Heavy Mortgage

Newport, Nov. 1S.-Hermidas La
lane who lives on a farm about one
mile from this village on the Coyen-
try road, committed suicide Wednes-
day by drowning in Black river. Mr.
Lalane has been acting queerly for
some time and close watch was be-
ing kept over him but he escaped and
made way with himself. Immediate
ly after he was missed a search was
instituted and foot prints were found
leading to the river. The body was
recovered amout 90 feet from the
place where he entered the water in
a depth of about 2 feet.
He was unfortunate in his farm
work and had become respondent
over a heavy mortgage. 1t is said
that he had made a previous attempt
at suicide but was unsuccessful. He
leaves a widow and four small chill
dren.

the Spanish government, if it desires,
to have ocial representation among
the engineers engaged on the work
This country can afford to be magnan-
imous and it is rich enough to expend
a million N this work. Far better
such an outlay than the creation CT
the sentiment that this government
was afraid to face the solution OF the
question as what destroyed the Maine
1t is really a duty the country owes to
itself and to Spain to settle the ques-
ton, if possible. Rich as this nation
is, It is not apt to be disturbed because
it costs a large sum for the work.
Cheapness has never been one of Uncle
Sans vices when a question of such a
nature as this required consideration
and solution. And this, above all ques-
tons, is not one where considerations
'of this nature should have undue
weight.

SHALL THE MAIN WRECK BE
BLOWN UP.

The report comes from Washington
that it is now proposed to remove the
wreck of the battleship Maine from the
Havana harbor by blowing it up with
! dynamite instead of raising it by en-
gineering methods. The explanation
S given that it would probably cost a
million dollars to remove the wreck
| through the usual methods, while it
can be dynamited to pieces for COM
paratiyely few thousand dollars. Then.
too, it is claimed that there is no guar
antee that the wreck can be raised by
engineers even if a million is appro-
priated for the work.
Behind the change in plans is said
to be fear on the part of the admin
istration that it will be shown that the
Maine was not blown up from the out
side, but that it's destruction was the
result of an accident. that neither the
Spaniards nor the Cubans were re-
sponsible for its destruction and the
loss of so many of its crew.
No one to-day believes that the
Spanish government was in any way
connected with the destruction of the
Maine. Many do believe that the in
surgents had something to do with it..
Others entertain the opinion that
Spaniards, having no direct or indirect
connection with the government, did
the act in spirit of revenge. And
many entertain the theory that an ex-
plosion aboard the warship was re-
spoons BILE for it's loss.
1t would never do to blow up the
wreck and leave blot on the name Of
the Spanish government, or on the in
surgents. If the wreck is dynamited
there would always be feeling of un-
certainty as to how the vessel came to
be destroyed and doubt as to the
propriety of the United States govern
ment in pursuing this course Even
though it does cost a million it would
probably be far wiser to expend that
fortune in the work of lifting the
wreck from its bed of mud, allowing
