New York, Oct. 3O.-Had a French

which it was won last year by Glenn

accompanying it in lie Blanc's vest

But the mechanician was over sure
lie neglected to put into the tank the
last two OF several tins of the fluid
that had been intrusted to him TO de-
post there.
The result was narrow escape
from death for lie Blanc after he had
made 10 rounds of the international
cup course at a record breaking pace.
He had but three-quarters of the last
lap OF the course to cover when his
fuel gave out, and when going at a
rate of more than a mile minute he
was obliged to descend in a part of
the course where there was no proper
alighting place.
His machine struck a telegraph
pole, broke it into three parts and
came itself to the earth a wreck. The
aviator was pitched head over heels to
the ground, with a cut over his right
eye, another under it and third on
his chin.

against the pole or his machine was

ABOUT THE BOXERS.

Harry Lewis will leave for England
Nov. 16. His last battle in this coun-
try will be with Dick Nelson at
Schenectady on Nov. I.
The Illinois A. c. of Chicago will
try and lift the lid on the game in
that city by holding a boxing meeting
at its club ohuse Nov. 10.
Harry Ramsey, the Philadelphia
middleweight. is going to England,
having received a premise of a match
with Tom Thomas, champion of that
country.
Sam Blakelock, the English light
weight, who came to this country i'll
1883. and had about all the American
lightweights scared till Jimmy Car
roll defeated him in San Francisco
in March. 1889, is now a prosperous
bcokmaker in England. He still likes
to keep identified with the boxing
game.
As the recent bout between Digger
Ctarlev and Joey Bowker for the ban
tamweight championship of England
ended in an unsatisfactory manner.
the National Sporting Club of Lon
don is to match the pair again. This
will probably keep Stanley from COM
ing to America until some months la
ter than he planned to do.
The citizens OF Grand Rapids, the
home of the late Stanley Ketchel are
making arrangements to erect mon
ument at the grave of the dead boxer.

time tables are a small part of the ex-
pected income"
Newspapers have not claimed that
the bill was framed with an eye
single to the public good" 1t Is
framed to secure them an opportunity
to do business. The public will benefit
by it, the public wants the time tables
printed. 1t certainly is the purpose of
advertising to increase business.
Might Increase Trafiic.
1t is probable that the railroads
might increase travel and shipments
if they could advertise as they de-
sire. That would mean increased in
come for the roads, and as they pay
taxes on their gross income it would
be an increased revenue to the State,
so the people would benefit both by
securing desired information and re-
celving larger revenue.
IF the public good requires that
the railroad time tables be published
in the several papers of the State,
pass a bill compelling the railroads to
do that, and to pay therefor a rea-
sonable sum in cash"
Why compel the railroads to dc in
one way what they are perfectly
willing to do in another and entirely
inocuous way? Not a few good law
yers think such law would be UNI
constitutional. The newspapers do not
want the State to compel the rail-
roads, or any other corporations to do
business with them. All they ask is
that the artificial obstruction to trade
be removed and allow that trade TO
flow in it's natural channel as it is
permitted to do in many other States

POLITICAL JNKETS.
william ". JeifOrds OF Fast BprL.
shire Writes TO the Journal His
Views On Them and Their Effect.

10 the Editor OF the Journal.
Apropos OF some structures of tha
state press ON recent enunciation
of the Enosburg- Standard to the effect
principally that some offices OF the
State that are elective are too much
addicted to an undue tendency to in
sratiation into politics, the writer
would like an indulgence in a few
expressions thereon.
Emitting any reference to proper
names and eliminating all personal
tiles, it is an indisputable fact that
the inceptive steps into the school of
polltics are oftentime taken in many
OF the political "junkets" referred
to by the Standard.
1t Is not so very long ago that the
Fish and Game League encouraged
embryo politicians in attendance upon
its Festivities to embark for the first
time on the uncertain sea of politics
Here at various times have been out
lined the political policy of the State
which has in the past developed a
rather too potent factor in Vermont
politics.
TO say that Vermont is as free
from tendencies CT this kind as anv
OF her sister States is hardly good
logic, for we know she is, albeit her
growing tendency in recent years has
been towards greater and increasjn.
taxation.
And it is with extremely good
taste and in proper form for any
member of the present Legislature to-
show up the State weakness AMI
proneness in this respect and to give
advice and warning to all the other
members for deficit, as we all know
has been hanging over the State
Treasury for some time ready at most
any time to materialze.
The present State Superintendent
of Education is very able and eff
lcient officer, and has done more in
all probability to raise the high stand
ard of education to which the State
has already attained than any other
single educator of Vermont.
But it is costing the State a large
sum of money which the taxpayers IN
many instances deplore, but we have
this to be borne in mind at all times.
viz: That we can far better afford 70
levy taxes for educational facilities
than build jails and prisons for the il
literate in the absence of those facili-
ties. 1t is an applicable saying, ami
one not to be ignored in this case.
that the State can better afford to tax
her wealth for intellectual improve
ments than for the transitory visions
and prospective enjoyments for result
