"LOCAL OPTION.

The committee on "vice and immorali-
ty" of the Pennsylvania legislature, have
reported favorably on bill to repeal the
local option laws of that state. Although,
rs might be inferred from the complexion
of the legislature, this report is not tenn
perance measure, yet we believe that it is
none the less wise and that, as distinc-
tive measure, 1t ought to command the sup
port not only of pronounced temperance
men, but of all other lovers OF law, order
and good government. We believe that
local option, wherever tried, has proved
bad failure, SO far as its ten lency has
been to suppress the traffic and sale of in
toxicating liquors. Indeed, 1t would be
difficult to conceive of any specie of lcgis-
lation more demoralizing in Its tendency
than is the practical working:of.these local
option laws. 1t has been thoroughly tested
in Vermont, and the result has demonstra-
ted that nothing can be hoped for from
such laws. A simple illustration of Its
practical working, here, will clearly demon
strate this, II demonstration is needed.
The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1875-02-10

The principle of the local option law, here
and elsewhere, is that the people of every
town SHALL for themselves, decide whether
the traffic in intoxicating liquors shall be
allowed within the town. Rutland, Men
don, Clarendon, Pittsford, Brandon, Cas-
Teton, as well as each and every other
town in the county or state, by their bal
lots decide the question, each town for
itself If majority of the votes, In a
given town, are cast in favor of the sale of
liquors, then sold 1t is but If the majority
is otherwise, then the sale is unlawful, and
all business therein is prohibited. This Is
''local option" But so far as the promo
ton of temperance is concerned, there is
nothing of it. The local option is given to
the voters of Rutland to say whether the
citizens of the town, desiring, the bcver-
age shall obtain II at home or go to another
town for 1t. Rutland votes no license, If
you please. Then, of course, all such
traffic is unlawful, and, If the law
is strictly enforced, people must go else
where for their supplies. But the towns
all around us vote the other way, license
all who make application, and so the voters
of Rutland have simply said, "you shall
not buy liquor here, but you may go TO any
town on the border, and lawfully obtain all
that you want" Other towns open their
doors for Rutland's money, and while that
flows out the liquor lawfully flows in. If
the vote of Rutland should be in favor of
license, and the other towns should decide
for mol license, then the flow would be
reversed. Rutland would receive the
money and furnish the liquor, and the re-
lative amount of temperance and intemper-
ance would remain unchanged. This is the
way it worked when tried in Vermont, and
although it may be "home rule, " all parties,
temperance men and Others abandoned the
experiment of local option in disgust So,
wherever il has been tried, 1t has always
worked Yet, every year, we hear of new
attempts to dispose of the temperance
question by the enactment of similar laws.
Even in New York, the temperance men,
or rather portion of them, attempted &c
organize crusade against the reelection
of Governor Dix, because he vetoed loca
option bill. What that crusade might have
amounted to in close election, it is, Of
course, impossible to tell but as it was
Governor Dix was defeated not by "loca
option" but bya "tidd wave" If any
thing can be learned from experience oil
this question, it is that local option is of M
more avail in promoting temperance, thar
is the local option, which is said to exist
under the prohibitory law, in certain towns

ing the beverage from Whatsoever of TIN

geance, and the other is fully as sensible

Minister Schenck and Poker Play
ing.
The enemies of Gen. Robert c. Schenck,
the American minister to the court of ST..
James, not content with endeavoring to
villfy him in connection with the Emma
mine, have attempted TO malign him in
another direction, in the claim that he had
published, in England, work upon poker
playing. The great offense of General
Schenck ends in smoke, when the COM
ments of the English press and his letter
are read. 1t appears that when visiting
the country seat of an English gentleman
some of the guests wished to be initiated
in the art of poker playing. The general
complied, and at the request of the lady of
the house, he wrote out some general rules
of the same, which another guest had
printed. This is the sum of Mr.. Schenck's
offending. Still his neutrality-suspicious.

the story afioat in such manner as to i'm

"These accusations, says writer in the

A shocking accident occurred at Hooley's
theatre, Chicago, recently, by which John
Goodwin, a young man about twenty i've
years OF age, met an instant death. The
orchestra had just begun playing the over
ture, when deep thud was heard by the
audience, proceeding from behind the cur
tain. Several of the performers rushed
upon the stage and discovered the lifeless
body of man lying upon it, with his right
shoulder and arm partially through
the floor. He was Immediately picked up,
but life was extinct. Upon examination 1t
was found that the right side of his head
was crushed to pulp, His right arm was
broken In dozen pieces, and his fingers
completely wrenched off. lie was what
is called "a night hand at the establish
ment. II is not known exactly how he
came to fall, but the supposition ia that
he was asleep in the carpenters gallery,
and that when he heard the orchestra
strike up he became partially awake and
walked off. The gallery from which he
fell is about sixty feet above the stage. He
fell with such force as to break the boards
through the stage floor, and crush his head
and shoulder beyond recognition.

We publish this morning from the Bur
lington Free Press, au article on the Emma
Mine, evidently from the pen of an emf
nent legal gentleman who is familiar with
the question in all its phases. 1t is COM
plete vndication of the gentlemen who were
concerned in the purchase and sale of the
mine, and should set at rest all the black
mailing scandal that has been put forth in
reference to the transaction. The purchase
of the Emma Mine by Mr.. Park, Gen.
Baxter and others, was valid they had
clear title to the property, by patent, which
settled all the issues that had arisen or
on,J1 o~iso- 90, 'o-ih" ,.!ula like -grsbeo,
were fairly and truthfully represented to
the English purchasers-and it was so un-
derstood by them. Further, the mine was
thoroughly examined by Prof. Silliman,
who made full and explicit report to the
English purchasers, before the stock was
sold to them. They were fully informed
on the matter, there can be no doubt, for
after its sale to them their own agents
came here, and after personal examination
reported in far more glowing terms of its
value as an investment than Mr.. Park
had represented. 1t was paying stock
for several years, and the rate of produce
ton continued steadily to increase. 1t con-
tinucd in prosperous condition until the
English stockholders rejected from their
board of direction the two leading and re-
spOnsible resident directors.
This is the simple story of the affair.
Now they endeavor to levy backmal
upon Mr. Park, Gen. Baxter, Senator Stew
art and others, by bringing suit which has
no foundation In fact. That there is no ba-
sis for an action will be fully demonstrated
to the American public when these gentle
men appear upon the witness stand. These
gentlemen do not propose to submit to the
Matchmaking propositions of the English
stockholders who have created such fur
ry. Time will fully vindicate Messrs. Bax.
ter, Park and Stewart, that they are not the
swindlers and sharpers they have been re.
presented by some of the press and that the
suit would imply.
We do not propose to vindicate these
gentlemen, they are fully able to vindicate
themselves, our purpose is simply to give
the truth of this matter, that those who
may have been deceived by the clamor O.
the press representing our fellow-citizens a.
swindlers and sharpers, may be convnc
ed to the contrary. They have beer
honorable, honest, just and aboyc board il
all their connection with the Emma Min,
transaction from first TO last The letter O.
Prof. Silliman to the Tribune, published
elsewhere, tells the whole story. He court
the fullest investigation as do all other par
ties. The newspapers, even, which hav,
given such wide currency to the affai
when they speak in frank comment, fail I,
see any wrong or even basis for the charges
of the English spectators, who are onl,
seeking to extort money from the partie,
against whom they have. brought suit
Time will vindicate these gentlemen from
any fraud or completely with fraud. Tn,
articles published elsewhere show the who'll,
matter In its true light, and are complete
answer TO the charges OF the English stock
holders.

The explanation of the suit that has been
brought, is this The stock of the Emma
mining company of London has run down
in that marketto nominal figure, consider
ably below lis real value. Much of it has
therefore gone into the hands of specula-
tors and stock jobbers, and has been used
for various purposes. Among other expe-
dents, this charge of fraud has been start
ed, two years after the sale, by parties who
have never lost a shilling in the transaction
for the purpose of being brought to bear
upon certain persons in England, who took
part in the original negotiations. After a
violent dispute among the stockholders, di-
rectors were finally elected who undertook
to prosecute the charge. They sent, last
fall, an agent to the United States, who,
after full examination, became satisfied
that the claim was entirely without
foundation. He was undoubtedly ad.
vsed by counsel that no action
could be maintained. But it was
necessary TO the purposes of the present
directors, to keep up the charge for effect
al home, and to be able to say that suit
was pending in fulfilment of their under
taking. One was instituted accordingly

to trial, and could not survive n trial. Two
suits have, however, been been brought in
New York, growing out of this business,
which, 1t is hoped, may come to trial
They are actions for libel, in favor of Prof.
Silliman and Mr. Silas Williams, against
the publishers of newspaper in which
these charges have appeared Professor
Silllman was employed by the English pur-
chasers as an expert to visit the mine. lie
is now accused of having been bIibed to
make false report by the owners of the
property. Mr.. Williams is stated TO have
''salted" the mine, by introducing silver
ore, to deceive the party sent from London
to examine it. These are the means by
which 1t is charged Messrs. Stewart, Bax-
ter and Park perpetrated the fraud. Both
Prof. Silliman and Mr.. Williams are gen.
tlemen of the highest responsibility. The
suits they have commenced, will, if tried,
bring the whole matter into the light OF
judicial investigation. And, while afford
