In Part if not Wholly.

A statute is a statute whether enforced to
the letter or embalmed in dusty document.
But a law has bipding force just 10 pro-
portion as there is public conscience to exc.
cute it. We see suddenly and unexpectedly
asserting itself even IN New York City a
regard for certain legislative enaotments that
heretofore have been as if dead. 1t is not
the law regulating the sale of intoxicating
beverages, but that which forbids their sale
on Sunday that the authorities of the wicked
city are trying to enforce. The result IS
characterized as "a melancholy spectacle of
occasional raids" and some papers say let
the law be repealed unless its steady execu.
ton is practicable. Not 80. Laws better
than custom, enacted when the moral sense is
at its best, ought not to be repealed. They
bear the same relation TO communities, states
and cities, that the best resolutions as to lu-
ture conduct sustain to an erring man. A
statute and individual resolve are much the
same. But who would not admit the benefit
of healthy, moral resolutions.
Men have way Of reasoning by which
they make it appear that not to enforce a
statute to the last detail is to weaken all
respect for law. 1t may for those who vio-
late with immunity, but not in the eyes of
those who know that civil law is only the
expression, feeble or vigorous, Of so many
human Wills.
To cancel either the prohibition or Sunday
law because practically incapable Of being
executed in some places, would be productive
of twice the evil arising from their defective
enforcement. The worst elements Of society
would rise up at once to announce their vic

rels being won or lost by the champion clubs.
Our verdict would be that as a national
amusement, the game is too savage, violent,
and destructive of finger joints. The balls
becoming more and more like spheres Of lead
present striking contrast to the toys with
which our forelathers played (for they we're
not austero beyond all indulgence in harm
less out door amusement.) And yet the boys
will play.

There seems to be a common instructive
purpose 10 theatrical circles, both critical
and performing, to prevent Anna Dickinson's
entrance into the guild. There is dead set
made against her along the whole line. One
foolish actress is quoted as saying that, If
Miss Dickinson should succeed. she would
herself leave the stage, 10 disgust that its
triumphs could be won so easily and sudden
ly. Her feeling seems to be akin to that Of

People are already beginning to talk Of
the probable effect in this country of a great
war in Europe. The opinion prevails that it
would hasten the return of "good times"
more effectively than the war we might have
had with Spain would have done, with the
added advantage that other nations than our
own would have to pay the bills. 1t would
afford market for all our surplus grain,
and beef and pork, and give speedy impo.
tus to manufactures aud shipbuilding. But
the great nations Of Europe will not 60 to
war for light causes, and the effect upon this
country will be the least Of the eonsidera-
tions that will influence their action.

Salonca, which is now attracting so mu n
attention, is about four hundred miles due
west from Constantinople at the head of the
Gulf Of Salonica, a northwesterly arm of
the .Egean sea. The magnificent military
road OF the Roman empire, which once con-
nected Rome aud Constautinope, passes
through it, and under the Romans it was the
capital of all Macedonia. Under the name OF
Therma it was several times taken aud re-.
taken in the Peloponesiau war The name
Thessalonica was given to it by Cassander,
who rebuilt it 3lj Is. G., that being the
name of his wife, sister of Alexander. Since

The president in a recent proclamation
recommends to the people Of the several states
that they assemble in their several counties
or towns on the approaching centennial ami
versary of our national independence, and
that they cause to have delivered on such
day an historical sketch Of said county or
town from its formation, and that copy Of
said sketch may be filed in print or in manu-
script in the clerks Office of said county, and
an additional copy in print or manuscript be
filed in the Office Of the librarian of congress,
to the intent that a complete record may
thus he obtained Of the progress of our insti-
buttons during the first centennial of their
existence.
This certainly is suggestion that ought
not to pass uuheeded. Many of the larger
towns and cities Of our state, Hotably Rut-
land, Brandon, Vergcnnes aud Burlington,
have already decided to celebrate the day in
manner worthy Of the year and the event
1t is possible that the centennial fourth may
be observed without the usual bombastic
oratory aud drunken brawls incident to such
occasions. Every citizen would listen with
relish and pride to an historical sketch of
his own town or county, and doubtless all
would learn something new from such a
paper Why, then, shall not each town or
county utilize the coming great national hol.

1t has been determined, in Rutland, that
lager beer is not intoxicating, and, therefore,
that its sale is not prohibited by our liquor

land But whether the verdict will have
any efficacy in diminishing drunkenness,
whether the statute is rightly interpreted,
and whether the malt beverage is necessary
to perfect digestion aud circulation has not
been told, The case as being a test one,
settled with no disagrceing of doctors, has
no small significance. just at this time
when the moral sense Of the community is
upheaving itself in many parts of the state, the
decision seems little unfortunate. Doe

from twenty to thirty glasses in one evening

And no wonder. Since the man first as
sumcd the high responsibilities of his office,
and it was found he could not be held in the
hollow of every politicians hand he has
borne the whips and scorns Of time, and been
the butt Of all manner of criticism, ridicule
and abuse. That he can't talk eloquently,
no one denies, while the verdict of his con.
temporaries as well as that of history must
be that he lacks the high instincts an d quail

AFFAIRS in European Turkey continue
to go from bad to worse. Every cir
cumstance seems to tend to the
damage OF the Sultan's government.
The recent outbreak at Salonica
in reference to the liberation of O
Christian girl from Mahommedan
mosque, in which both the French
and German Consuls were killed
by the Mahommedan> mob, and the
American Consul narrowly escaped
with life, has tendency to embitter
the rancor always subsisting between
the Christian and Moslem races. Brit

are ordered to Salonica to protect their
respective in nterests and people there.
