The trouble in Vermont, as i'll is in

a small reactionary group, who are
thoroughly and blindlv conservative,
and who oppose in an unthinking and
reckless fashion every proposal which
contemplates progress in legislation.

Curious situation in Butte, Montana.
The miners are all in the union, and the
operators have an agreement with the
union to protect the union supremacy.
Among the conditions which the union
imposed on the miners was that each man
who entered the mines for work should
show his union card daily But now some
of the miners are refusing to show their
cards when they seek to enter the mines
for work. They have refused to pay as
sessments levied by the union to support
strikes in other regions For this the
local union must eXpel the delinquent CON
tributors and it accordingly refuses to
issue cards. When the delinquents get to
the mines for work they have no cards.
They are good union men so far as Butte
and themselves go, but do not approve Of
the Colorado strike and the way it was
conducted, But the mine operators can
not recognize this detection. They have
an agreement with the union that cards
must be shown by all who enter, and It
must be lived up to. Hence some of the
miners are idle and they threaten to make
trouble in the union.

Charles 4. Prouty is evidently out of
the running entirely as candidate for
the United States senatorship This has
been suspected ever since that famous
letter was shown to a select cotorie, but
not made public. One Of Proutys strong
est supporters was Luther b Johnson,
publisher of the Randolph Herald and
News, and one Of the ablest editorial
writers Vermont newspaperdom has ever
known. Mr. Johnson has evidently made
"a personal investigation of Mr. Prouty 5
status and this is the conclusion he
has reached I'VE have satisfied our
selves 6rst-hand that Hon. Charles A
Prouty does not desire to be considered a
candidate for the senatorship in any sense
of the word. We regret his decision, but
the matter rests with him and we abide

One by one the big men whose names
were associated with the presidency of
Grover Cleveland are falling away. The
funeral of Adlai Stevenson saw also the
passing on of Judge William B. Horn
blower, who was named for the supreme
court by President Cleveland and about
whose head broke a great storm Of New
York politics. Although Mr. Horn
blower was without question one Of the
greatest men of the New York bar he

The bill repeating the provision Of
the Panama canal act, excmpting
American coastwise vessels from tolls,
passed the Senate by vote of 80
to 80, after a protracted and bitter
struggle, which has certainly reflected
little glory on the Democratic party.
Its passage, however, is a victory for
President Wilson, perhaps the greatest
victory he has yet achieved, though the
bill passed is not in the form original,
~ planned by the President 1t re
serves the right Of. our government to
exempt American ships whenever il
seems desirable to do 50. 1t was this
amendment probably that saved the
bill in the final passage.

OFFICE HOLDING PARADISE.

The United States OF America Is an
office holders paradise. Already,
thanks TO the so-called Civil Service
laws there is a well established Of
fee holding aristocracy. In no other
country on earth do the Office holders
arrogate so many rights to them
selves that are denied to the common
people. This Is shameful but true. In
the United States, all Office holders
are exempt from the income tax, no
matter how much they are paid The
ordinary citizen with an income OF
$4,000 or over, must pay tax on 1t.
The Office holder whether he gets
$4,000 or 100000 year Is exempt
from taxation. The industrious cit
izen alone pays the freight which
shows one of the beauties OF our al
legged form OF government. 1t Is
refreshing TO find one Office holder
who wants TO be treated like common
people.

the growth In telephones for the year
was 48.275. being the largest In the
history OF the company. The total
number Of telephones on Dec. 81 was
