LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
The Arlington Tragedy.

ARLINGTON, Jan. %.
Editor Rutland Herald Il saw some
comments in your paper, this morning,
taken from the Troy Press, in regard to
the East Arlington affray. The cores
pondent of that paper seems to think
that the Hon. Justice was not alone in
his opinion, and that many Of the first
and most responsible men of the town
couldn't see it as he did. If he had said
u fer of the responsible men it would
have been nearer the truth. He then
goes on to say that he trusts there may
never again occur so heart-rending a
circumstance, that he trusts that it may
prove timely warning to all such as in
dulge in intoxicating drink of any char
acter. and that they may heed the sol
emn and important injunction, touch
uot, taste not, handle not" etc Now.
Mr.. Editor, would it not be well to add
to that sell not the intoxicating beverage
of any kind, for we all knoW-eCe1y man
in this tOlen knows that if these parties
had been in decent business and had sold
no rum or beer, there would have been
no bloody affray, no men shot, nor any
one committed to Jail to be tried for
murder We all know that ram was
the cause of the whole of it. Now who
sold the rum ? who kept this little rum
hole but these very parties, who, after
breaking the law every day Of their lives
and then shooting four or five men down
as you would a dog, ask to be protected
by that same law which they have bro
ken, and to be discharged as innocent
men, guilty of no crime Now if shoot
ing down men by the half dozen is no
crime, what is a crime we would like to
know? We don't wish you to under
stand Mr.. Editor, that we uphold those
boys in any raseality, and we think per
haps they were to blame, but we do
think there was no provocation for
shooting, and we only write this to let
people know that, in our opinion, the
man who sells rum is more to blame
than he who buys and drinks it. D.

The New York Herald and Prssi-
dent Grant.

90 The New York Herald publishes an
editorial on the Republican party and
President Grant from which we take
the following extract In relation to the
President; Thus far his enemies have
failed in every attempt to destroy his
character. He will fight 1t out on the
line hs occupies If it takes all summer
and 1t probably will take all summer and
q goodly share of the autumn. He has
made singularly honest and able adj
ministration. AS the elected chief of
the Republican party he has kept every
pledge made by his friends with Roman
sincerity and firmness. The most radi-
cal Republican cannot quarrel with Gen.
eral Grant. Those who were impatient
with Mr.. Lincoln even-such men, let
us say, as Wendall Phillips and Benja-
min F. Butler ARE fully satisfied with
Grant The assaults made upon him
are only evidences of his strength with
the people. His enemies have no char
ges against him but corner grocery and
bar room scandal. He takes presents, it
Is said; but no one has heard of a pres
ent accepted by him since he entered
the White House. At home and abroad
he has preserved the honor of the flag
and the purity of the Administration.
Crime and malfeasance in Office have
been severely punished and we have a
President who will have no parley with
foguery or incapacity in any department
of the government.

Sudbury.

Editor Rutland Herald The dona-
ton party given at the Royal House, on
the 18th inst, for the benefit of Rev. K.
Haven of Shoreham, was most per-
feet success. At an early hour, the peo-
| pie of this and adjoining towns began to
assemble, and continued to do so until
ten o'clock in the evening, when the
number present was over $50; and, Mr..
Editor, it has never been my fortune be-
fore to see as large a party so respecta-
BILE in appearance, which is positive
proof that the several towns were rep
resented by their best citizens. Of their
excellent personal appearance, and gen
tlemanly and ladylike department, Faith
er Haven has good reason to be proud
Among the towns represented beside
this, were Castleton, Hubbardton, Ben
son, Orwell, Shoreham, Ticonderoga, n.
Y, Bridport, Cornwall, Middlebury and
Whiting.
| Dancing commenced at o'clock, TO
the excellent music furnished by the
Rutland Band, Prof. Frank Wilson, lead
er and prompter, and was kept up until
o'clock, when the company departed
for their respective homes, in the same
/ quiet manner in which they came, leaving
for the benefit of their venerable friend
the snug little sum of $193.89, which he
informs me, is the largest donation he
ever received. By the way, the Rutland
Band (Prof. Wilson in particularly will
accept the thanks of the friends of Mr..
Haven for the cheerful manner in which
they did so much work for so little
money. Liberal CHRISTIAN.

ANECDOTES OF PUBLIC MEN.
General Caleb Cushing.
BY col. j. W. FORNEY.

No member of the Geneva Confer
enCe raised under the treaty of Wash
ingtOn to adjust questions arising out of
that convention will attract more notice
than the senior counsel of the American
members, Caleb Gushing, of Massachu-
sets. Born on the 18th of January,
1900, and therefore on the verge of 70,
he is, for his years, one of the most Wig
OrOuS intelleCts in the world. His long
career of more than half a century has
been singularly varied. 4 graduate of
Harvard College in 1917, subsequently q
tutor of mathematics and natural phil
osOphy, he studied law at Cambridge,
unsettled at NeWburypOrt, still his Mas
sachusetts residence, to practice the pro-
fession which he formally entered in
1922. In 1886 he served in the Leg
islaturc Of the State, in 1929 visited Eu
rope and published on his return Rem
iniscences of Spain," a delightful book,
and profound review of the revolution
in France. lie was also one Of the ia
vorite writers of the old North american
Re0je1o. In 1888 "a he was again elected
to the Legislature, and was representa-
tive in Congress from 1885 to 1843. APP
pointed by President Tyler, Commission
er to China he negotiated an important
treaty On his return, in 1916, he was
again elected to the State Legislature. =
In 1S47 he was chosen colonel of
volunteers in the Mexican war,
and was afterward made Brigadier
General by President Polk In 1850 he
was elected for the fifth time to the
State Legislature, and in 1851 made
justice of the Supreme Court of Massa-
chusetts. When President Pierce was
elected Caleb Cushing was made his at
torney- general, and at the end of his
term he returned to Massachusetts and
was again elected to the Legislature.
He was President of the Democratic
Charleston Convention in 1860, to no.
inmate President, and in July, 1866,
was appointed by Andrew Johnson one
of the three commissioners to codify and
revise the laws of the United States.
When he accepted the post of American
counselor to the commissioners under
the English treaty he was the advocate
of the Mexican government before the
United States and Mexican claims COM
mission. Few men living can point to
such an experience-few are better
qualified by varied requirements and
personal address to cope with the ripe
and thorough statesmen sent by Great
Britain to Geneva.

The New York Grand Jury.

The dead lock between the rival grand

Ingraham having dismissed the jury in
the Court of Oyer and Terminer on Satur-
day, after an attempt to defend himself

impression that the prolongation of their
session had been dictated by a desire to
q ob&ruct the course of justice. But,

Late zsairy Markets.
CHEESE

At the Utica market on Monday there
was a better feeling in regard to cheese,
and prices have advanced a fraction.
The highest quotation was sixteen cents.
The stock in New York is lighter, esti-
mated at 10000 boxes The amount
held back in the country is not larger
than that of last year. Some think it
larger, but the general impression pre-
walls that it is less. The foreign de
mand is now merely nominal, and an
advance will depend on an Increased de-
mand from England The receipts for
the week ending Saturday, goth, were
A, 451 boxes. The receipts for the cor
responding week last year were GAGS
boxes, and the exports were $685.
boxes.
The city markets report the feeling in
the market stronger and prices quoted
half cent higher. The demand has
not been active; shippers are said to
have offered for larger lots higher rates.
with but few transactions. 1t is mat
ter of uncertainty whether shippers are
talking for effect or are actually in want
of cheese The wants of the city trade
have not been as great as last week, but
better prices have been secured. On
the whole the market may be considered
as in an unsettled condition at the pre-
sent time, but something more definite
will be determined this week as to the
realty of the advance Holders should
not be in hot haste to sell
BUTTER.
There is no change to quote in the
price of butter. There is little better
feeling in New York, and it is the gen.
eral opinion that present prices will be
maintained. 1t is quoted at 80 and 35
cents. Gilt edged is worth 80 and 40
cents.
