Price 25 cts. a bottle MORE STATE OFFICES WANTED- The Brattleboiw Keforoier is unhappy We do not mention this as a matter of news; this is its normal condition, and everyone that is at all acquainted with the paper would le surprised with any other information. It lias ever been afflicted with its ails and aches, and with the opening of this session of the legislature its mo-t bcrious and uncomfortable malady has again returned. The symptoms of its old trouble appear in nausea occasioned by Governor Onnbce's message relating to railroads. The paper doesn't like it-, it was not written in the Keformer's otlice, and does not harmonize with its expressed views on the subject.

The message is considerate and gentlemanly, in which the governor recognizes the railroads as institutions business auxiliaries, controlled by the first citizens of the state, ho have the highest interest in its prosperity. Because Governor did not see to make a communistic raid on the railroads in his message, the paper concludes that the governor is a -railroad man." The paper expresses no surprise, however, but says in substance, "I told you so," beforehand. If we are not mistaken the Reformer joined with its sire, the SpriiiglHd Republican, in claiming that the result of the republican state convention last June, was a great victory for themselves. It is probable that uo railroad issue was made, so far ns any of the candidates in that convention were concerned, and that no paper was justified in making any claims upon the subject. And we consider this pretentious talk of the Kefurmer as equally without reason now and quite as fictitious.

It is not to be expected that any man, from whatever party, representing the views of that remarkable paper will ever le elected governor of Vermont at least we should hope not for the good of the state. Brat- tleboro is a good town and we would not say aught against it. That the railroads of the state have had much to do in making it what it is, its own citizens will not deny. But how much capital has the tow iuvested in railroads hich a portion of its citizens affect so much to abhor? That locality has its railroad facilities, and no accommodations or privileges within the reach of reason have been denied its citiztns. There never has been a time, we venture to say, When there lias bceu occasion for a third party to arbitrate any matter of difference between its people and the railroads.

Xo longer ago than last summer complaint was made of some small matter to the railroad authorities, which was readily and speedily adjusted to the satisfaction of all parties. Then why is it that Brattlcboro is in such constant and dee) trouble, and why should it through its newspapers be the headquar ters of a continual tig it on the railroad question? Does it wish to manage a busi ness for which it declines to furnish capital stock, and without experience either? The reason must be sought for outside of the legitimate business relations between its citizens and the railroads. Is it not a local hobby with which oflire-liolding on the part of a portion of the-timit'-a-awhitlomj citi- zeus has very much to do? Appearances would certainly so indicate. Not having the first cent at stake as capital in the bus iuess, the railroads are made a convenient football to kick around in order that some somebody's friend may obtain some otlice. At one place the office hobby is sometimes one tiling, in another locality another, but at Urattlcboro it is the railroad every time.

Urattlcboro has fair- minded citizens and noble men capable of filling almost any business or official posi tion in the state acceptably it has also the greatest lot of unfortunate.disappointed and dissatisfied political cranks yet bunch cd together in the state. Two years ago it was the metropolis of Vermont inn a democrat to the legislature, aui since that time the greater the mug wump the more satisfactory has he been to the political papers of that towu. The Brattlcboro senator two years ago volunteered as a leader in measures to ere ate a score of new offices for the state to fill, but opposed such works of necessity as the building of the North Hero bridge. A gentleman who has traveled much in the state and is well acquainted at' Brattlcboro, says the state could be entirely officered from that town alone, and the fact that many living there have not yet been chosen while better men have been recognized in that locality is the occasion of the demand for more offices to fill. The railroad commission is supposed to rfflord one of these opportunities, and we are informed that candidates sufficient to fill every position suggested have already filed their applications.

It cannot be denied that the political bees are buzzing under the garments of self-proposed candidates for office at Brat-tleboro, as no where else, and this is supposed to be the chief cause of so much discomfort in that locality. So long as Vermont is a small state and its offices are liable to be limited somewhere near to the present number, and there is now and then a competent man living in other towns, the only hope that all the yet unrecognized candidates living in Brattlcboro can have in this generation, is for portions of the town to be set off to New Hampshire and Massachusetts. If there is any other way out of the difficulty we hope the Reformer will be ingeuious enough to invent it, and report. The two houses at Montpclier will, tomorrow, vote separately for United States senator by viva voce vote, after which the result will be announced in joint assembly. The judges of the supreme court will be elected in joint assembly Wednesday.

Boston Herald. i A Great Tunnel Project. The project of connecting Ontario and the United States by a tunnel under the river, which at present forms the boundary between the two countries, has been for several days actively considered by several railroad men, the transfer of all cars by means of huge ferries imposing some delay. Several years ago a small trial tunnel was run under the river at Detroit, and over 100.000 was spent in the experiment, but so much cart li and quicksand as encountered that the project was definitely abandoned as too costly. Interest is again aroused by the announcement that gentlemen indirectly connected with the Grand Trunk railroad company have organized for the purpose of at once putting a tunnel under the St.

Clair river at Port Huron. Two com panies have been organized, with a capital of 100,000,000 each, one on this side and the other in Ontario, and these ill be combined into a joint organization next month. Work on the proposed tunnel, it is now-stated, will begin at once thereafter. It will cross under the river direct from Port Huron to Sarnia, and will be one mile in length, of which 2,300 feet will be under the river, 1.1(10 feet under the ground in Canada, and 1,800 feet under ground on the American side. The cost has been esti mated at $1,500,000.

Although a Grand Trunk enterprise, and part of its settled policy, that company has not one dollar in vested in the enterprise, nor does a single corporator of the two tunnel companies own a share in the stock of the Grand Trunk railway company of Canada. The interests of the tunnel and the railroad companies will, however, be identical, and the enterprise, its proprietors believe, ill be economical and profitable to both. The tunnel will be of brick, circular in shape, ith walls thirty inches in thickness. It will have only one track. If the warrants the use of a double track another tunnel will be constructed.

A careful estimate of the cost of a double track, it is said by the engineers, shows that it is more economical to build two single-track tunnels than one double-track tunnel. Careful surveys ami borings have been made, aud the feasibility of the project is deemed beyond doubt. The excavation will be mixed rock, gravel and clay. It is given out that Joseph Ilickson will be president of the consolidated company, Joseph Hobson chief engineer and liobert White treasurer. New York Times.
