Liver Is King.

The Liver Is the imperial organ OF
the whole human system, as II con-
trolls the life. health aud happiness Of
man. When il is disturbed in It's
proper action, all kinds Of ailments are
the natural result. The digestion OF
food. the movements Of the heart and
blood, the action Of the brain and ner-
vous system, are all Immediately con-
pected with the workings Of the Liver.
II has been successfully proved that
Green's August Flower is unequalled IN

TRUST FUNDS.

We are glad that Mr.. Harmon
Morse is determined to get before the
Legislature bill in regard to the mis-
appropriation Of trust funds. 1t is
becoming more and more apparent
that some legislation is needed which
shall lessen the number of violations
of honor which occur through the too
frequent private speculation on money
that has been given to individuals in
trust. True, bondsmen are required,
who sometimes make good the pecun-
larry loss, while the criminal, for Grim
inal he is, goes unpublished. There
seems to us to be hole in the law
here, through which as actual thieves
as ever went to Jail, escape, and
which ought to be plugged up some.

The Lamoille news. (Hyde Park, Vt.) 1877-1881, 1878-10-23

We have received copy of the new
license law, now before the general
committee of the House, asking for
our comments. We do not propose
to enter into a discussion Of its merits
and dement's as license law, but
just simply to declare our firm and I'M
shaken allegiance to the prohibltory
law. 1t will take great amount of
argument to convince us that it is
wise to license so patent and positive
an evil as the use Of alcoholic liquors as
a beverage. 1t seems to us unwise to
try to regulate instead of prohibiting
evil doing. There are some commend
able features to the bill as license
measure. 1t prohibits the sale to
drunkards, which is about as absurd as
it would be to prohibit the thief from
taking an old, broken down, played
out horse, but licensing him to take
the best you have got. No, gentle
men, let us stick to and improve and
enforce the old law.

THE COMING ELECTION.

The proclamation of Gov. Proctor
calls us to vote again for congressman
ON the 9th of next month. The clear
est declaration of the situation we have
seen, and, by the way, the ablest edi-
torial of the canvass, appeared IN the
St. Adams Messenger Monday last.
We read Tuesdays Free Press and it
impressed us by its evident irritation
over some thorn in the flesh, and when
we read Mondays Messenger, which
comes a day after its publication, We
saw the thorn. The Free Press has
tened to hump its back, set its fur for
ward and spit and scratched like wor-
ried cat. We are sorry not to have
space for the whole article, but rather
than haggle it, we advise our readers
TO send for it. One thing we have OBJ
served and that is that no one who
voted for Barlow in September seems
disposed to change that vote, while
many, who voted against him, declare
their iuteution to vote for him in No
vember.
There seems to be considerable
threatening among the Croft party,
and now and then we hear Of terrible
storm about to break out in the Third
District. One day it is plenty OF
money by the national banks, and the
next day it is host Of speakers from
the national committee, to be followed
next day by the knowing winks in re-
gard to .still hunt" At the Grout
meeting held at Montpelier last week
we understand thata prominent Grout
man of Burlington threw considerable
cold water on the deliberations by dis
couraging any vain and useless at
tempts to reverse the verdict of Sep
TENDER. In September Mr.. Barlow
not only secured the plurality of 2, 800
but had majority Of the Republican
vote as figured from the vote of 1876
The only possible chance (and there is
no chance at all) is to get the election
through the apathy of the friends 0
Mr.. Barlow. We apprehend, how
ever, that Mr.. Barlow's friends will
take warning and be out in full force
