SELLING INTOXICANTS TO MINORS,

1t is with no slight degree OF
pleasure that We note the signal fail
ure of the recent attempt, in the
Legislature, to repeal the law, pro-
hibiting the sale of Intoxicating Ii
quors to minors. During the past
two years quite = number of whisky
sellers have come to grief, either
through carelessness or wanton vi.
ciousness, for violations Of this law,
hence the effort in favor of its repeal
Under the present tendency of
boys Of all ages to ape the reckless
and dissipated habits Of older per.
sons, too much cannot be said in favor
of the law as it stands. Whisky sci
ers know that for every boy who &C
quires even the slightest taste for
strong drink, another victim is added
to ther lists, the chances of securing
which are increased immeasurably
above those that would exist were
that boy compelled to abstain from
their beverages until manhood lent
him mature judgment and good ha.
bits. Of course saloon keepers are
not all anxious to invsigle young
sters, Be it said to their credit
many of them would scorn such
base conduct. But the law, as i,
stands, provides for the safety of all
and the protection of parents who
otherwise might be unable to prevent
their children from being hurried or
the downward grade which com.
mences in the saloon.

allowed no rider on her back for five years
She became tame and gentle in ~ many
minutes, and allowed herself to bs ridden
about without a sign of her former Wild

accomplished consists of q piece of light
rope. which is passed around the front Jaw ol
the mare, Just above the upper teeth
crossed IN her mouth, and then secured
back Of her neck. II is claimed that
no horse will kick or jump when thu.
secured, and that bucking horse. after
receiving this treatment few times. will

THE MASONIC CONTROVERSY In RUTLAND
The Rutland Herald replies as follows to
the structures of the Glolc, upon the state
ment that the Masons once substituted
devil for God in their liturgy
In the notice Of the discourse (Rev. Me-
Johnson's) which we published, there was
an erroneous date, which We corrected in
the next issue of the Herald As an Illus
tration of the prevailing sentiment at the
time referred to-l797, not IS33-whicn
Governor Williams characterized as OPP
posed to the church, a;heistic and immoral,
we made the statement about which all this
fuss has been made Ii the statement is
true, it simply illustrates the fact that athe-
istic sentiments prevailed to such an extent
that they were expressed in the Masonic
Lodge, as Governor Williams testified that
they were on the tavern steps when there
was not q lawyer from Middebury to Ben
nington who was I member OF the church
or who was willing to be known Is friend
to Christianity"
But the statement about the open secret
made by u, no, by Rev. Mr.. johnson, and
made, not with any intention Of slandering
Masonry as an institution or any Of its
members as men, but, as before stated, as
Illustrative of the sentiment predominenta at
the time. Is true, as the following eommu-
nicatiOn from son of Deacon William
Page proves. With this Communication.
as the lawyers say, We rest the case:
RUTLAND, Feb t.
Editor RUtldnl Herald | notice that the
GIoGe calls in question the truthiulness OF
the remarks made in the Herald about the
"open secret that at this time during the
ministry of DR.. Bald the word GerH was
substituted for tie word God by the Mlsons
when reading their liturgy Id the mest.
ings Of the lodge"
L have distinct recollection of hearing
my father. William Page. in answer toa
question from brother Mason, why he did
not now attend the meetings of the lodge,
say that at the time he quit attending the
lodge. the word devil was substituted for
the word God in thei- services, and that he
could not and would not sanction such
blasphemy by his presence. In the CONVEX
sation he further said that ne knew the
practice had been long abandoned This
conversation ofmy fathers was held with
a man much younger than himself and had
reference to times and events which hap
pened before that young mans recollection,
and long before the settlement of DR..

BONDING TowNs,.-We find some YER

BONDING TowNs.-We find some very
curious facts in the Railroad Com
missioners' report of last year. for
Connecticut. and not the least curious
is the fact that not one of the rail
road companies which have been incorpor-
ated during the last ten years, or since the
system of town aid was adopted. has earned
the interest on its bonded debt. and all OF the
companies still existing are in default of
interest. Now Connecticut is a much more
thickly settled State than Vermont: has u
vast deal more of manufacturing interest.
and has not had the prevailing epidemic
Of town bonding to anything like the extent
it has prevailed in this State. Yet. none
of these railroads have paid" In view OF
this iact We are not surprised that the leg
islsture of that State is likely to pass con-
stitutIonsl amendment forbidding town aid
Tor railroad enterprises hereafter. And it
will DO somewhat remarkable If the next
few years are not marked by some Con-
gressIOnal action forbidding or. at least,
regulating such aid Wdtohman and Jour
