1QbauS 1dcertiser The Rutland
County court met for the September
term at Rutland on Tuesday. Judge
Dunton presided and charged the
grand jury, especially urging a faithful
and honest enforcement of the prohibit
tory law, without regard to the jurors
individual opinions regarding It's
Justice. On this point the judge said !:
The court is informed that grand
jurors, in different parts of the country,
are in the habit of prosecuting the
same person, from time to time, for
selling or furnishing intoxicating
liquor contrary to the statute, upon
the disclosure of persons arrested, while
in a state of inUoxication, and after
repeated final convictions for the first
otfense, without alleging a known
prior conviction under the act This
is contrary to law and subjects the
offender to Indictment. Therefore, if
upon inquiry made by you, and by
evidence produced before you, you are
satisfied that any prosecuting officers
in this county, States attorneys or
grand jurors, in prosecuting for the
violations of sections 8 and IL OF chap
ter "a of the general statutes, have
Intentionally neglected, failed or re-
fused to allege and prove a known
prior conviction or convictions to the
number of two under said act, it is
your duty to present such offenders by
Indictment. All public Officers are
indictable at cQIplhon law for misbe-
havior in office, and the offense is pun
ishable by fine or imprisonment or
both. 1t has been represented to the
court that the trustees of some OF the
villages in this State, whose duty it is
to appoint police officers for their res
pectiYe villages, instruct the police
officers appointed by them that if they
arrest persons in state of intOXicatiOn
who will probably disclose that they
bought liquor of certain grog shops,
they must release such intoxicated
person without taking them before Il
justice of the peace, and h9vipg their
disclosure taken as it is made their
duty by law to do, or else they, the pO-
licemen, will be discharged" The
grand jury was instructed TO indict
any such trustees and also any justices.

AFGIIANISfAN.

We may rest assured that the Afghan
war must be renewed and that Russian
troops are already en- route to assist the
insurgents. Nor is it part of Afghan
istan or a portion of its people that the
English troops will have to fight one
success on the part of the Afghans
would make all the men in Afghanistan
take arms, and would, too, spring a
mine by which all the energy of Russia
would be put forward to assist the
revolt. Russia lost too much when
will not commit such blupder again
if she gets the chance in Afghanistan.
Russia in Constantinople could have
d C ated terms, and Russia IN Cabul
would make all England rise in arms.
A Canadian contemporary thinks that
Russia can never reach Afghanistan.
Our contemporary makes g great mis-
take. When the thirst of conquest and
the love of gold and power are the
incentives, armies can, if powerful
enough, reach anywhere and do any
thing. Take up map of Central Asia.
The very ground now occupied by
Russia was Fwepty-years ago written
''impassable." Deserts without water,
and Saharas without an oasis, have
been traversed and nearer and nearer
the Russians have come because
India points the way. True, Russia
may not get close enough to strike
this time, but she has a marvellous
good chance for it. At the commence
ment of the present century Russia's
possession in India and those of Eng
land were separated by 1000 miles of
what was considered waste. Now
only few hundred miles separate
Russia in Asia from Afghanistan, and
for Afghanistan Russia means to go.
All the news of recent date points out
as much, and nothing can prevent it
except quarrel between Russia and
Germany or the rapid advance and
occupation, by the English, of Cabul.
AS regards the former, Continental
newspapers, especially those of Paris,
publish alarming rumors regarding
relations between Germany and Rus

Dear Sir:-Please insert the fol-
lowing item from the Lunenburg cor
respondent OF the Lancaster Gazette,
and the reply thereto--
a singular fact connected with the
progress Of IDEAS was developed in our
town. BY the request of the Rev. Mr..
Harris, pastor of the Orthodox Church,
inviting the Rev. Mr.. Haskell, Univer
salist, of Lewiston, Me-, to occupy his
pulpit one Sunday during Mr.. Harris
absence. After Mr.. Harris went away
a committee headed by deacon of the
Church waited upon Mr.. Haskell and
informed him that they could not al
low him to stand in their pulpit, as his
views of religion and morality did not
coincide with theirs, and his doctrines
were heretiGal. However, Mr.. Haskell
was allowed to preach in the Town
Hall, on Sunday, August, gath. The
audience that assembled was large,
and delighted to hear the truth from
liberal standpoint, and we have failed
to hear of any damage done to the
people of our town by the sermon, or
the example of the eloquent divine
while with us. The refusal of the dea-
cons committee to open their house to
Mr.. Haskell has done more to set our
people to thinking about the Phara-
seeism of the Church than any one
thing that has occurred for years. S.

The Grand Trunk Railway from
Portland, Me-, to Chicago, via Canada,
has been Incomplete owing to q break
in its line in Michigan. A short line of
railway from Flint to Lansing, already
built, was purchased a year ago by
Vanderbilt for no other purpose than
to keep it out of the hands Of the
Grand Trunk Railway. The latter
road thereupon made arrangements
for building line of its own between
these two points, and, when Wander
bilt found that be could no longer
defeat the GRAND Trunk in its march
TO Chicago, he yielded the road having
Iio use for it, and delivered it oyer to
the Canadian Company. The route,
therefore, of the latter road is complete,
except Oh the stretch between Val
paraiso, in Indiana, and Thornton, in
illinois, which is building and will be
ready for use in November, and then
through trains from Chicago to Port
land will become part of the regular
daily traffic of this city. -ChicdgO Iri-
