The Lieutenant Governorship

The Burlington Free Press of last Sat
ur day starts the Lieutenant Governor
ship question with an interesting article
which gives the names of several ofthos,
already mentioned" for the place, ant
setting forth the special qualifications o
each. We quote herewith, in part, tn,
article
OF the counties thus far "entered" Add
son leads with no less than five men who
are either candidates or willing or linen
toned" These include Judge John E
Weeks and Col. Thad M. Chapman, o.
Middlebury, Editor X. w. McCuen ofthe
Vergennes Enterprise and Vermonter,
Hon. M. F. Barnes of Addison and form
err Senator w. E. Laurence of Bristol, all
of whom have a host of friends.
1t should be stated in this connection
that the situation in Addison county is
expected to undergo thorough shaking
up process in the not distant future,
which will result in the clearing of the
political atmosphere there, the republican
leaders having a pronounced conviction
that if they can unite on one candidate,
Addison will be able to present strong
Chittenden county according to pres
ent indications will have two candidates
for the Republican nomination for sec.
rotary of State Chauncey w. Brownell
and Senator Max L. Powell Both of
these gem emen have been incumbents of
the position of Secretary of the Senate,
and both later became members of that
body. Both are hustlers, and it goes
without saying that their contest for
delegates from Chttenden county, which
would naturally settle the case so far as
this county's candidate is concerned, will
be a hot one.
Another man who has been considera.
bly, discussed in connection with the
nomination for lieutenant governorship
is Hon. Roger w. Hulburd of Hyde Park,
who has also been a member of both
branches of the Legislature, and who
would make a good presiding officer.
Bennington county is also on the list
with a possible candidate in the person
of the Hon. Frank E. Howe, editor OF
the Banner, who has won an enviable
position through the manner in which he
performed the duties of speaker of the
House at the late session, and it is not
that this may be another IN
stance in which the last named shall be
first.
In any event it is evident that the office
of lieutenant-governor will not go beg
cling in the convention to be held accord
ing to precedent next June, even if our
democratic friends have nothing to say
later on.
1t does look as if the list of those for
the second place on the ticket would great
ly exceed those for the first place, and
while the Free Press has given very in
eresting list it has not given all that
have been mentioned by considerable.
1t is said that Franklin county is liable
to have one or two names for the place
and that the Grange will ask that its
worthy Master, Clement F. Smith, of
Morrisville, be placed on the ticket. La
noble county would be greatly pleased
with either Mr.. Hulburd or Mr.. Smith
on the ticket and it is quite probable
that the friends of these men may "ge to.
gether" at the proper time and agree
upon one name, should either of them de-
eide to enter the field.

PUBLIC DRINKING CUPs.-The new Ver-
mont regulation forbidding the use of
common drinking cups on railroad
trains, as well as in other public places,
is likely to prove benefit to the Central
Railroad company. which proposes to
charge one cent for paper drinking cup.

HUNTERS LICENSE LAWS. - In all sec:
tons of Vermont there is growing and
bitter resentment against the gun or
hunters license law. AS The Poultney
Journal says, THE Vermont freeman is a
live wire when you tamper with his
rights" He at least would be if once he
could be brought to realize how essential
it is that he work and act in unison with
his fellow freemen. The manifest purpose
of the framing of such law was to secure
privileges to the few. 1t is in its spirit
and workings like the old feudal laws of
Great Britain. The Newport Express
and Standard in commenting on this
Vermont hunters license SAYS ut is like
forcing a man to pay his rights which
were his since the days of the old flint
lock. 1t is tax upon liberty and some
of the alienable rights man should be
heir to- t-
Vermont should be no place for feudal-
ism, but already there is lot of it here
and it is gaining every year. - White
River Junction Landmark.

SaWduSt in Streams
Wilmington Times.1

The supreme court having sustained
the law prohibiting the dumping of saw
dust in streams, it behooves mill owners
to plan accordingly. The little fish will
laugh, but he who laughs last and best
will be the fisherman. Sawdust has
done more to deplete our trout streams
than all else."- Randolph Herald and
News.
cat last, after the recent decisions of
the supreme court, mill owners ought
not to be permitted to ruin any more
streams. Where the trout have al
ready been killed out it might be difficult
to get rid of the mill, but hereafter let
no more mills be established on trout
streams and the sawdust and other waste
turned into the streams."-BenningtoD
Banner.
1t would not be necessary or desirable
to 'get rid' of the mill. The most of
this damage is caused by small portable
mills which are moved from brook to
brook, or to different points on the same
book as the timber supply is exhausted,
and are loo tied simply with view to the
water. Any spring or pond would sup
ply water for the boiler. Without this
nuisance streams that have been de-
pleted would soon restock themselves or
could be restocked with artifcially
Matched trout Fishermen who violate
the laws should and do generally pay the
penalty if caught; sawmill owners who
dump their pestiferous refuse into our
trout streams should be equally liable,
and not only made to discontinue the
practice, but to pay the fine provided for
the violation of the law.

Down in Delaware they put poet into
jail. 1t is not prison offense to write
poetry in Delaware, and this singer was
not immuned for making rhymes, but for
playing lawn tennis on Sunday. Though
lawn tennis is an innocuous pastime
compared with writing poetry, the good
people of Delaware rejoiced that they
had at last got bard in Jail, whatever
the charge. Now they wish they had let
the verse-maker alone. His brief stay in
the work housegave him an opportunity
to use his pen to make public the horrors
of Jail conditions in that virtuous state.

Representative Berger, the sole Social
list in Congress, has introduced resolu-
ton suggesting a pension of four dollars
a week for every person more than sixty
years old. This appears to be discrim-
ination in favor of class and seems in
consistent with Socialist doctrine. Mr..
Berger's resolution should be broader
and should include all under and all over
sixty; then we could all get within the
money line. Mr.. Berger further suggests
that the matter of age pensions be re-
ferred to a commission consisting of
members of the three parties. By the
three parties we presume are meant, Mr..
Berger, the Republican and the Demo-
cratic parties.
