The character of the Ministry is entirely
satisfactory to the Chamber, and it is ap-
parently felt by the Conservatives to be
accepted In good faith. The Clerical or
gans are denouncing it, and the Projects
and Sub-Prefects appointed last Spring
are resigning in great numbers. But the
danger that the Marshal may, after getting
q vote Of the budget, throw over the
present Ministers. and again resort 10 vio-
lent means to deprive the Republicans OF
the power which the country has confded
to them. Is not lost sight of. The Cham
Der will vote only the four direct taxes
an important but not the major portion OF
the revenue-and one sixth OF the re-
mainder required. This will keep the
Marshal under reasonable restriction
The victory Of the republicans is signal
and has been hard earned. They have
richly deserved the confidence which the
country has placed in them, and have
overcome by their sagacity and firmness
dangers which have never before been
met in France except by revolution. The
events OF The last year are of immense
value In establishing orderly and free
government in the country, and their re-
suits constitute a great and permanent
contribution to the general cause of con-
stitutional progress in Europe.

LOCAL OPTION IN MASSACHUSETTS.

Massachusetts, after having tried ultra
prohibition of the sale of intoxicating
liquors, with a state constahulary to en-
force prohibition, and system of license,
Is now embarking on the experiment of
local option" which is neither the one
thing or the other. Vermont has repeated
ly tried this experiment of "local option"
and it has in every instance proved fail
ure-and such, we believe, has been the ex-
perience every where that it has been tried.
The experiment, too is to be tried in its
worst form-that of letting each town or
city decide the question Of license for it.
self-with the certain result of an almost
unrestrained traffic in intoxicants. For
what restraint Is there, if, for instance,
Rutland, Wallingford and Brandon grant
licenses, while Mendon, Pittsford and
Clarendon refuse? Let us look at the re-
suit of the experiment in Vermont.
This matter of attempting to regulate the
sale of intoxicating liquor has attracted the
attention of the legislatures and people of
Vermont since 1887, when the first license
law was enacted, and there has hardly
been session of the legislature from that
day to this when there has not been more
or less tinkering with the laws on this sub
ject. AS early as 1874, kind of "local
option" law went into effect. Each
county was authorized to elect annually,
on the first Thursday of January, three
county commissioners. to whom was COM
mitted the entire control of the sale of in
toxicating liquor in the county, and the
" sole power of granting licenses" These
commissioners were authorized to license
one or more persons in each town to sell
spirituous liquors for medicinal chemical
and mechanical purposes, and they were
further authorized to grant licenses as fol-
lows; To wholesale dealers, TO cell in guam
titles of twenty gallons or more, not less
than twenty dollars to retailers, to sell
In quantities between one pint and twenty
gallons, not less than six dollars and to
keepers of taveins, to sell in quantities less
than one pint, not less than five dollars
Sand any person who shall deal in the sell
ing of distilled spirituous liquors, wine
ale or beer, in quantities less than ont
"pint, shall be deemed to be keeper of g
tavern within the meaning Of this act"
This law was, in effect, "local option,
for it practically referred the question o
license or no license to The peopl
to be decided by them at the polls
And it brought out the great faul
of local option laws, either as temper
ance measures, or as measures of policy fol-
regulating, controlling or prohibiting tn
sale of intoxicating liquors. The power
of the commissioners were unlimited
Their discretion was unbounded. The
could license anybody and everybody a

placed in square cage made of rough
panks of wood, and is strapped round the
belly with wide leather straps attached to
cross bars of the framework; his head Is
also tied safely; the foot is fixed to stake
in the ground and held by an assistant
while the smith places the shoe on.

fate OF medicines as In that OF the animal spe-

carded as their sale rapidly decreases. Only
those medicines which are best suited to the
peoples wants survive the first test. If they
"are tried, and found wanting" In the merits

Parties who have recently returned
from Washington, mention circumstance
that will be Of interest to many Of our
readers. Several days ago President Hayes
sent word to ex-senator Carpenter that he
would be pleased to have him call upon
him ut tho White House. Mr.. Carpenter
was unable to comply on account of ILL
ness. Subsequently the invitation was re-
pcated, and Mr.. Carpenter called. The
President in receiving him SAID that he
had observed with pain, that some Repub
|lican papers were censuring Mr.. Carpen
ter for having appeared before the Elect
oral Commission as counsel for Mi. TildeD
For his own part, he remembered tho
great services that Mr.. Carpenter had rem
dered the Republican party in years past
and in the late campaign, and now thai
he had retired from political life and was
pursuing the practice ofhis profession, III
regarded his conduct in appearing for Mr.
Tilden as perfectly proper and by nc
means subject for criticism. He onl,
regretted that the Republican committed
had applied too late to retain him. Their
! a,e asked Mr.. Carpenter if he might have
the benefit OF his counsel, aud upon re
! oeixiug IN affirmative reply, entered upor
4 conversation which continued for three
hours, aud which had reference to affair
in Louisiana. They parted with expires
siens of mutual confidence and esteem
Mr.. Carpenter is said TO he warmly in &C
cord with the policy of the President
and greatly impressed with lis ability.
