CURRENT COMMENT
The Vermont Democracy.

The public is gradually securing evil
dence of the tremendous fractional tight
which has been going on under the sur
face of the Democratic pond in Vermont,
although. seething waters have long dem
onstrated the existence of serious trou-
BILE below. The most conspicuous Illus
tration of the Kilkenny fight was over
the Burlington collectorship, the burke
and Browne factions having killed OH
their respective leaders, while MIR. Com
ings was quietly pulling down the plum.
The appointment of Mr.. M. e. Leary as
postmaster at Richmond brings out the
published statement in communication
printed in these columns that deter
mined factional struggle was waged over
that position also.
From Bennington county comes the
announcement that Democratic post
master was nominated, after which tele-
grams of protest were sent IN to the
Senate and other authorities, claiming
that the appointee was drunkard, and
a patron Of rooster fights and so on. 1t
was shown conclusively to the satisfac-
ton of the postofIice department that
LHeSe CIhiHeS MtLt Nhoi'y eAihD"i -
and the appointment was contaminated.
Developments in other directions show
that similar fight is being waged over
a number of postoffices in different parts
of the state, and the situation has be-
come such that an outside umpire has
to be sent to the state in not few IN
stances. Manifestly the Vermont democ-
ricv is still entitled to its ancient name
OF "unterrifed" whatever else il may
have become under the refining and mel
lfiuous influence of sounds of passing pie
plates.
Meanwhile indications are not lacking
that as a result of the turning down OF
both Browne and Burke, the recationary
element is capturing the Democratic or
ganization, with bipartisan help, and
that this element will make Watson the
Democratic candidate for the governor
ship. Moreover, Collector Comings will
have his hands full to keep the Green
Mountain Democracy in line for Wilson
or Bryan either, with all the possible
help Boston Brown of non-home rule
fame can give him, although if Mayor
Burke should now secure the Burlington
postoffiee, his latest goal, thus gaining
material recognition for his faction, the
Democratic show in Vermont might be-
come genuine three-ring circus, with
the Burke wing of the party near the
entrance of the dressing tent.-Burling.

THE NEW HAVEN MIDDLE.

By merciful good fortune, The New
Haven railroad system is having no dis
astrous physical wrecks to pile on top
of the financial wrecks that are occur
ring each day on the stock market. In
deed, under the new regime there has
been a marked decrease in the number Of
serious accidents in which the casualty
list amounts into the score, in contrast

long ago The new policy Of more strict
attention TO the details Of railroading
seems to have become fruitful Of much

THE HUERTA RESIGNATION.

The note which Provisional President
Huerta sent to the Mexican national
Legislative assembly in rendering his res
ignation breathes spirit of hostility to
the United States that is most natural
and which was to be expected in any
document coming from his mind.
Through practically all the IL months
that Huerta has been the dictator in
control at Mexico City, the United
States government has shown marked
opposition to him and has endeavored to
force him out of the presidential chair.
Now that the event seemingly has been
accomplished in the act of the legisia-
ture in accepting the resignation, it is
TO be hoped that it means the beginning
of the end of United States interference
in the internal affairs of the Mexican re-
public. The first and foremost purpose
of the Wilson administration has been
accomplished and temporary president
has been put in control who is possibly
a person not displeasing to the Wilson
idea. At least the Wilson government
has not made any forceful protest
against the elevation of Carbajal to. the
temporary presidency, and it is to be
assumed that the Washington govern
ment is satisfied. As for themselves,
the American people want nothing more
than that they should be released from
further police duty or protectorate over
Mexico. They have had enough of the
duty.

After Industries day" Vermont ought
to inaugurate Safety First" day, the
same to include railroad trains staying
on the iron, pedestrians using the road
and not the railroad right of way, auto
mobiles refraining from butting into
each other and running down men, wom-

restraint, housewives pouring gunpowder
in the stove, boys and other incompe-
tents leaving firearms alone, children
who cannot swim staying in shallow
water until they can swim and pollti-
clans not oyer-reaching themselves. We
feel sure that in the light of recent
events great many casualties will be
avoided if the regulations of Safety

of the state and then followed with fidel-

= The experts did not observe that
the tough, FAST young fellow was be-

the fight with Tom Mcmahon, the

fought five times in nine days, and
was a surprise when he leaped into
the ring 1.-THE as panther and smil-

in the second round he commenced
pulling foot work and headwork that
Jim Corbett at his best would have
noticed.
He boxed beautifully at times, then
abandoned boxing and waded in, TAX
ing two of McMahon's terrific
punches flush on the jaw without
stopping. He swung into the Knock

fight and battered and bewildered

rapidly and willingly that it looks as
if the long-lost White Hope has been
found.

Mapped the Oceans Currents

One of the first steps toward max.
ing OCEAN travel safe was taken by the
American Commander Maury, who
mapped the currents of the sea. Even
before the Civil war he advocated that
transatlantic ships would follow GER
tain lanes TO avoid icebergs and dan
gerous fogs. The assembly adopted
these suggestions, and during the eleven
weeks which the sessions covered,
many minor points, such as fog signals,
limits of local draughts, the seaworthi.
ness of vessels, fixed responsibility for
wrecks, systems of bouys and beacons,
as well as tests for sight and color
blindness, were made standard through
out the world.

The Languages of the Sea

Twenty-Five wears ago to-day repre-

in Washington TO lay down uniform
rules for ocean travel and traffic 1t
was the first international Maritime
Conference. Ii was worldwide. some
of its members coming from such dis.
tant countries as Siam, China and
Hawaii. The purpose was voiced by
Secretary OF State Blaine. VINO said:
The spoken languages of the world
will continue to be many, but neees.

uages of the sea shall DE one. In
those days the Languages of the
Sea were indeed many. Some of the
rules were heritages of centuries back,
and in conflict with the rules of other
nations.

Uniform Rules of Sea

To-day the 100000 and more
ocean travellers who cross the Atlantic
ocean every year, not to mention
countless millions who traverse seas
in other parts of the world, are safe
guarded by not only the uniform rules
whose foundations were laid a quarter
of century ago, but many new ones.
Some are to overcome new elements of
danger brought about by new diseoy-
cries in propulsion, and Others to reg

inventions serviceable in saving life at
