A PREMIUM FOR CRIME.-Gen. Geo. w.
Cole, known to fame as the man who was
tried for his life for the murder of Hon. L.
III. Hiscock, about two years ago, has Just
received the appointment of clerk in the
Registers office at New York, at salary
of $500 a year. 1t will be recollected that
Cole shot Hiscock tor seducing his wife
while he was in the army, and the facts
we think were full as clear that she sedu-
ced him as much as he did her. The Jury
decided the general to have been "insane
at the moment of committing the deed, but
rational the moment before and the mo-
ment AFTER" which the public regarded at
the time as drawing avery nice distinction.
The administration now gives the murder
er an office. What for? Does it wish to
pension crime?
A few years since the country was hor-
rifed at the shooting in the streets of
Washington of Philip Barton Key, by Dan
E. Sickles, for the seduction of his wife /;
he was tried and acquitted because he was
crazy. Hewas afterwards made a general
and he is now minister to Spain-a good
place for him, for Spain is at best but ma
ton of assassins. Sickles has his reward
and what for? Is not this, or any other,
to be censured for such APP
pointments? We believe that crime is
thing to be punished. not pensioned.
Ketchum, the aristocratic forger, whose
crime was colossal, is just out of Sing Sing
prison, where he has done the state some
service" in the way of labor. He commit
ted but one forgery, but that run deeply
into the thousands; was tried and sent to
prison for a term of years is now out. A
few days ago we saw in the New York Tri-
bune glowing tribute to his worth and
his excellent character &C.
What does it mean? Is it an invitation to
Grant to take Ketchum into his cabinet?

A JUST LAw.-One of the laws passed
at the late session of our legislature is to
the effect that the vender of intoxicating
liquor is made liable for the damages COM
mitted by the drunkard while he is intoxi-
Gated. This will meet the approval of the
temperance community. A law similar to
this was passed in Ohio several years ago.
Whether it is in existence now we are not
able to say. When a man puts weapons
into the hands Of another wherewith to
commit crime, why should he not at least
be held as party to the crime? How
should 1t be where man in liquor commits
murderY Ought the vender to be hung?
Hardly, we think But he should be held
as an accessory and punished as one. In
our opinion this course Of treatment would
prove greatly effective in drying up the
ever flowing fountain of drunkenness and
its consequent crime.

The above offers are open to January
next. The terms are cash in advance in
all cases. We have offered no poor publ
cations. We have offered them all cheap.
We make no money on any of them, but
do lose on two. If any one thinks himself
unable to pay so much for the highest
priced ones we offer, get your neighbor to
go halves with you on them, but do not
stop the Standard. We are trying to print
good paper. and have the vanity to be-
lieve that we offer the best reading and the
most of it for the money of any paper in
the state, with the exception of the Mont
pelier Journal and the Burlington Free
Press. We have as all can see, and as all
acknowledge, made great improvements in
the paper the last year, for which we have
made no extra charge, although these i'm
provements have cost us heavily and have
added no less than So to our weekly bills.
Yet in the face and eyes of these facts we
promise our readers that if they will only
help us 10 more advance paying subscribers,
and will also pay for their own in advance,
we will before another year rolls around
make greater improvements than any yet
made. We have faith to believe that Or
leans County can and will support big
ger and better paper than she now has, and
at the same price. At any rate we are the
man to risk it if people will pay us in adj
vance and not put us to the cruel expense
of paying an agent three dollars a day to
collect what is our due and not gets fourth
of it then. Come friends, send us money
rs fast as your subscriptions expire, speak
q good word for us and thus help your
selves, Ifyou can get better paper than
ours for the same money we ask we shall
not blame you for changing, but do not
change merely for the sake of changing.
If we are doing well stand by us; that en-
courages us to do still better; but do not
stop your paper, that's depressing and free
zes every earnest attempt at well doing.

vice to every man who goes TO the woods,

For 1925 we will send the Standard and

monthly, printed at Parksburg, Penn, at
one dollar year. 1t is devoted entirely
to the interests of stock raisers and is the
bes! thing of its kind published. The OBJ
ject of the publisher in offering it to us so
cheap is to introduce it, even at loss, in
hope of keeping the subscriber thus OBJ
tanned second year. 1t should be in the
hands of every one who owns one animal
or one fowl. Old subscribers as well as new
can have the benefit of this offer.

A LITTLE HEROINE.-At Pugwash, Can
ada, few nights ago, the house of fami-
ly named Crowley having taken fire, all
the inmates except three small children
had escaped; but these were sleeping up
stairs, and the fire below made it impossi-
BILE to reach them. Finally, the mothers
screams from without awakened the eldest
a daughter not twelve years old, who came
to the window, and was urged by her
mother to throw herself out; but she an
swered, "No, my brother and sister must
be saved" She then returned through the
heat and smoke twice, and after throwing
the two younger children from the window,
she let herself drop to the ground, dis
lance of sixteen feet, and when she rose
said, "Pm done, mother; but have saved
my brother and sister from being burned
up" The little heroine, terribly burned,
shocked by the fall, and chilled with the
exposure, died early the next morning.
