Practically the entire population of Barre parses over North Main street at j)cpot square during the tour;" of a day in the fall season, finds the city engineer that is, a number practically equal to the population of the city. Of this tide of people, 0..'i74 were o foot, showing the strain to which the sidewalks are subj.'Cted, In the same day, or rather fifteen hour of it, an taken for the standard, the road was subjected to the wear and tear of 1,4.15 vehicles, most of which were horse-drawn, and many of them hnpe stone-teams loadi i with ton of granite. By thee fijnires, one is able to judge of the durability of the road and sidewalks required; and, inasmuch as City Engineer Reed ha secured fig ures for streets in various parts of the city, the report will lie very valuable in enabling the city to reach a decision as to the iest materials to be used in road building. TOTING ABOUT AX ALLEGED LEPER The case of John It. Early, the alleged leper of Washington, D. C, is, de-pite it ssd features, such as to warrant stricter attention than has been given to"it. Early, since first suspected of having leprosy, ha been toted around the country here and there, to Ik; taken before juriea of medical men to deter mine whether he ha? the disease or not. To be sure, considerable precaution has Iven taken in the transportation of him, even to the extest of locking him up in a box-car during transit. Nevertheless, we do rot think of transporting small pox patients about the country to place them before various experts for judg ment; we isolate the patients and bave the expert come to them, if there is uncertainty as to the exact nature of the disease. The same course ought to have been pursued in the case of John R. Early, when the first expert opinion was given that he was suffering from lep rosy; and then, if his isolation was con sidered unjust, the medical council should have lieen held where ha was detained. To carry him from Washington to New York and back again, not only once, but twice, was unwise and inimical to the general public health. Now that another council has decided that he l.a the dis ease, it is to be hoped his keepers will hold him ia strict i-.u! i ; ioi, pending futher appeals, which arc threatened, i "The cleverness of the de tignerji Jus certainly been ap preciated this season by the ob serving public.

Storrow has Mayor llibbard also to blame for his defeat, since the latter mulishly remained in a contest in which he himself rnu-t have realized he had no hope. Hibbard drew from Storrow the few votei which, a it turned out, were needed by Storrow; and made himself ridiculous. As for the fourth candidate under Boston's new fangled charter, there was only pity for Nathaniel Taylor long Wore the time came for casting the ballots. lie did not materially ulTect the election. And so Boston has made its own bed. CURRENT COMMENT j & Mustered Out. The old guard are being mustered out. The one time leaders of the democrat party in Vermont have nearly all been numbered with the great of ail ages whose work has been accomplished. Within a year Bradley Smalley and William B. Viiill of Randolph have pone to their reward. Both were able men, leaders in business as well as in pol itics. Vergeimes Enterprise. Thoughtless Cruelty. A Ludlow man has called The Trib ute's attention to the habit which some boys have of snaring tame pigeons with strings and otherwise abusing them, lie cited the ease of a piifenn found hanging to the limb of a tree, in his garden, caught by the string attached to il leg and suspended thus, out of reach, till it died. This j a piece of thoughtless cruelty that could be remedied by a little em phatic action on the part of parents of boy thus inclined. The numerous pi geons which appear on our streets, tindi. turbed by the near presence of human beings, arc deserving of most, considerate treatment, and the hoys should be taught that cruelty to dumb creatures is not a manly habit. Ludlow Tribune. BOSTON HAS MADE ITS BED. All things considered, Boston did not select the best candidate for mayor yes terday. John F. Fitzgerald ia far from being an ideal man at the head of municipal affairs, in Boston or any other city. Bi$ he i a vote-getter: there is no gainsaying that fact. Ila goes down into the congested tenements of the city and pulls out the voles as readily as a fisherman pulls out flounders. He makes himself one of the class with which he associates, whether the task is to his liking or not. Opposed to him was a man who traveled normally in a different crowd of people and who, inevitably, drew toward himself ft certain hostility from the less fortunate in material goods, whether he tried to avoid it or not. He was the Beacon street candi date, above all else, in the minds of the west and south ends of the city, and when be catn-8 down to ask the people for their votes lie was met with a shrug of the shoulder. Fitzgerald was not slow, xo, to fan this animosity into ope iinie of opposition; and thus Bos ton's election took on the nature of a fitrugaio of class prejudice, during which the really fine qualifications of Storrow I Want to Work for You "Insnnnon that Jau." nl Btn.vni fhlp Tickets.

Wiilard from ITurthmd, Vt., who this week w vi elected to the presideney of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Mr. Villard did not, have the technical edu cation which counts so much in secur ing advancement at the present time, but he was well trained in the school of rough knocks, beginning work at the age of 10 as a section hand after a boy hood spent on the home farm. We are pretty sure that Daniel was not a hoy who watched the clock, but that be gave willing and efficient service. He rose slowly and gradually through va rious grades, and although he has filled a responsible position for years it bus taken 30 years of persistent endeavor to reach the bird) place he now occupies. Mr. Wiilard has recently been vice president of the Burlington, Chicago and Qutncy railroad. He will go to the Baltimore & Ohio familiar with the ground, as he formerly served the road a a assistant general manager. Brattle horo l'hoenix. The Joys of Editing. With this issue we close our labors not editorally but in the office of (he Express and Standard for the next few weeks and hie to our southern home. We have been asked many times why, in the past three years while in the south, we, have not furnished our paper with articles ns on previous trips; but the fact is we have remained in one place, worked on land, and have faced no adventures worth writing about. This season we have prepared ourself for deep sea fishing and coast trips, and it. is possible a series of letters may be the result. If o we trust tu;r readers will find them interesting. Thus speaks Brother Hddretli of New port, the ons Vermont editor who does n't have, to shovel his own walks, tend his own furnace, sifi ii.sbes, pit kind linus, thaw water-pipes, contract, ci;l bills, keep cheerful, Mnak pleasantly to Lit advertiser and write Juue about tim beauties of old -fashioned New Fugland winter weather all winter long. Brat tlohuro Heformcr. Dairying and Politics. The after prattle of the stale dairy men's convention is that it was one of the most notable gatherings of politi cians ever assembled in Vermont, not. Inuring the 1Kb and game league out- ling and the dinners of t lie Lake Mans- ticld Trout club. It resolved itself in the end to a more, or less determine I attempt to precipitate a little anti-Mead sentiment, with a somewhat n'ortli'yin.' result. "Who will undertake to beat Mead?" was the despairing cry, voiced partien-j larly by the friends of Fletcher 1). l'roc tor, who. apparently, have never for given the uoctor for permitting himself to be, a doormat for the august Tro.'- tor feet, In the end, Fleetwood alom develop ecj. iny serious opposition strength and the Herald is bound to say that his candidacy is shaping itself into a pretty and gratifying "siicees d'e-time," as the crUicK say of a show that won't draw. Eventually, ft looked as though the astute and wily doctor had about every visible avenue buttoned up, with plenty of buttons end buttonholes to snare. The Herald regret a to see him thus taking advantage of his hem-factors ( f ) and turning well known machine meth ods against their creator, but it submits that occasionally the most un kempt political situation develops, ele ments of poetic justice. Among the exhibits at Burlington not, necessarily dairying or sugannak ing in its character was a deplorable bit of do;'cvrcl, which the. Herald can not ton indignantly reprehend; Here lie the bones of Fletcher Proctor, Who tried in vain to stop the Doctor, He tried his best, He luol to go. IVai-e God from Whom all blessings flow.
