Local Option In England.

The welcome intelligence from England
is confirmed, that in the house of commons
on the 10th ultimo, Sir Wifred Lawson's
local option resolution, declaring in favor of
the right of local popular control in deter.
mining whether licenses TO public houses
Qiquor saloons) shall be renewed, was
adopted by vote of two hundred and
twenty-nine to two hundred and three. Sir
Wilfred and the United Kingdom alliance
especially, and the friends of temperance
generally on both sides of the Atlantic, are
to be heartily congratulated upon this graft.
flying indication of substantial progress.
The struggle has been protracted and severe,
and the champions of this measure have
suffered many defeats in parliament, but at
last the tide turns in their favor. Every
victory won on the other side of the Allan.
tic is also substantial help in the impend-
ing conflict to suppress the liquor traffic in
our own country.
The following is the text Of the resolution
as passed:
"That inasmuch as the ancient and ayowed object OF
licensing the sale OF Intoxicating liquors 10 supply sup
posed public want without detrieli to the public welfare
This house IA of opinion that legal OF restraining
the Issue renewal OF licenses should be placed In ihe
hands OF the persons most deeply interested and Affected
namely the Inhabitants Themselves who ait entitled 10
lection from the injurious Of the present
tsm-by some efficient measure Of local option"
The next step is awaited with much in
terest. 1t is thought that the government
following this popular expression Of opinion
Of the commons, will, at the next session,
introduce bill by which the question OF
license or no license may be submitted to a
popular vote in the towns and counties in
England. But the temperance people iu
Great Britain have only carried the skirmish
line, and long aud bitter contest is before
them. What remains to be done can only
be accomplished by pluck, courage, and pa
tient continuance In well doing.

Payment OF Rebel Claims.

The remarks Of Senator Edmunds at the
Waterbury and of Mr. Ballard at the Berlin
meetings, reported in this paper, relative to
the evident purpose Of the south TO secure the
payment Of their carefully prepared claims
for losses and damages Of whatever kind
suffered in the war of the rebellion, the pen
sioning Of their soldiers in some form, and
the payment Of the rebel debt, are earnestly
commended TO the attention of Republicans
and Democrats alike. Many of our Demo-
cratic friends affect to disbeleve that the
citizens of the states lately in rebellion claim
the payment of money at the hands of the
general government, or that Democratic
congress would appropriate money or lands
for this purpose, or Democratic president
sign such bills if passed. The facts and
| figures presented by Mr.. Ballard on this
subject are not wild speculations, Uingeu-
ously worked up TO enforce startling point
in campaign speech. They are matters Of
in tabuated form, every detail of name of
claimant, character and amount of claim,

The Cloven Foot.

BY reason Of division among the Dem
ocrats Of Virginia in respect to the payment
Of the state debt, there is thought to be
danger that the electoral vote Of the state
may be lost to the "solid south " in the
approaching election. In this emergency

South Carolina b called in to aid in heal

The Truth OF History.

When Congressman Horr made his recent
speech at Montpelier he made the statement
and it has been repeatedly published else
where-that in February, 1860, while Bu-
chanan was still president, the credit of the
government had run down to so low point
that it had to pay from ten to twelve per
cent interest on its securities. This state.
ment has been fatty denied by various par
tisan papers; but it is fact, nevertheless,
as will be seen from the following extract
from letter signed by I. X. Upton, assist
ant secretary of the treasury, under date Of
July 10, 1880. He says:
Bonds of the loan of February g. 1861 were sold the
1910. average price sOO sss.O3 the
ns Ss
% @ @ a. he II Of ons a Of which
Per annun, and only s,7oo bore lower rate OF interest
than ten per cent.
This was the last financial transaction
under the Buchanan administration. That
administration could only raise money by
shave. The Democratic party had even
then lost the confidence of the people, and
this confidence it has never been able to re-
gain. For twenty years this has been en-
phatically true.
What contrast is presented by the finan-
cial condition of the country to-day Our
four per cent bonds are actually selling at
a premium, and this difference in the credit
OF the country marks just about the meas
ure of difference the people recognize be
tween the two parties. Can any sane NOR
tai give reason why party, under whose
administration the credit of the country
was thus smirched, should be preferred to a
party under whose sway the honor of the
country has been redeemed, the credit Of
the country restored, and its prosperity
placed upon an enduring basis 7

Deducting from liabilities the college
fund and surplus fund due to towns, sl47,-
0l9.96, not likely to be called for, leaves a
balance available for the coming fiscal year
of Sl96, 122.62. At the close of the biennial
term of 1878, based upon the same calcula-
tions as above, the state treasurer had on
hand, available for the year 1879, sl41 ,934.s5.
At the present time, as shown by the fore
going statement, he has on hand, available
for the current expenses of the coming year,
sl96, 1892, showing balance of S54, 1877
more on hand at this time than at the cor
responding period of the year 1878. Dur
the last two years there has been paid, of
outstanding state bonds, S36,000.00, which
leaves the comparative financial condition
of the state at the present time over $780,
10000 better than two years ago.

SENsATIoNAL.-A sensational and entirely

SENsATIoNAL.-As sensational and entirely
false dispatch was sent from Burlington to
the New York Times by some idiot, or Dem
ocrat for political purposes, to the effect that
William j. Farr, hotel keeper at East Mid
dlebury was warned to take down Repub-
lican flag from his hotel that, upon his re-
fusal, midnight mob gagged him and
dragged him into the road that, upon his
further refusal, he was taken to barber
shop and his beard and hair shaved off !;
that he was taken to Otter creek, bound and
thrown into the creek, and various other in
dignities practiced. The dispatch further
states that the sheriff and states attorney
are endeavoring to discover the ruiiians, We
hope those officers will bend their energies
to the discovery and bringing to punish
ment of the party who sent the dispatch.

No CoRREcTIoN.-The Brattleboro Re
former is informed that we also heard Gen
eral Nickerson at Waterbury. The fact
that he used the figures in speaking of our
state debt which we attributed to him in the
WATcHMAN last week is vouched for by
many and reliable witnesses of both parties
Still, we are willing to accept the Retomer's
statement and call it " several Millions" and
quite agree with our contemporary that the
general made fool of himself in discussing
our state affairs,-but did not improve any
when he branched out on national matters.

THE Independent Peoples Labor conven-
ton, held at Sharon, Pennsylvania, to select
candidates for president and vice-president,
was attended by delegates from fifteen states.
A ballot for president gave Garfield one
hundred and twenty-five, Hancock seventy
four, and Weaver twenty-six. General Gar
fields nomination was made unanimous
General Arthur was then nominated fol-
vicepresident by reclamation.

THOSE LETTERs.-ln referring 10 the let
ters of acceptance of Hancock aud English,
the Springfield Republican says What is
there in this letter to prove General Han
cocks comprehension of the pressing polit-
ical questions of government, to indicate
his intention and ability to deal with them
wisely2 Simply nothing. He talks effect
lively in sonorous generalities, but to the
voter who regards General Hancock as an
unknown quantity, and views his election
to the presidency in the light of a leap in
the dark, this letter of acceptance says and
means nothing" "English seems
to have inflated himself as the experienced
public man of the ticket. lie plunges about
on this superstition with most absolute dis
regard of appearances or consequences. His
words are without dignity or grace, and
he will be more than ever recognized as a
weight to the party"

In A NuT-sHELL,-Whoc can truthfully
deny the statement that the Democratic
party of to-day would have no real life but
for the support it receives from the solid
south Its only hope. of success lies in the
votes of those who fought to destroy the
government. If only those who were true
TO the old flag were allowed to vote, there
would not be Democratic state, hardly
Democratic congressional district, from
Maine to California, or from the lakes TO
the gulf. These things being true, what do
they point out as the duty of every loyal
voter in the land

We take pleasure in laying before the tax
payers of the state the following official
comparison OF the present condition of the
state treasury with that of two years ago.
BY this comparison it will readily be seen
that the improvement in the financial stand
ing of the state is upwards of ninety thou
sand dollars, pretty healthy gain for two
years. In the face of such facts as these it
will be difficult to create much of panic
over the alarming increase of our state ex-
penses and taxes.

Declared the War a Failure.

George w. Kennedy denied, it is reported,
in a speech before the Hancock and English
club at Waterbury, Saturday evening, that
the national Democratic convention at Chi
cago in 1864 declared the war for the main
tenance of the Union failure. We repro.
duce in full the resolution of the platform
adopted by that convention, and which con-
tains its declarations relative to the war.
1t is as follows:
Re,oired That this convention does explicitly declare
the sense of the American people that after four Of

This declaration and this demand for a
cessation of hostilities was made after Gen

then captivating; when the victorious Union
armies were closing in upon the exhausted
confederacy, and the final issue of the war
had passed beyond the region of doubt. 1t
is not a matter of surprise that the De
mocracy should now wish to forget, and
wish forgotten, this black chapter in their
political history; but to deny its existence
even in Democratic club meeting, is
trifling with memories that do not forget
far lighter offenses committed by this party
against the Union cause and the cause OF
human rights at large. The fate of brave
Union general who embarked on the stormy
sea Of politics in 1854 in such an unsea
worthy tub is prophetic of the fate of hi,

ratical craft, though its rents and seams have
been smeared over with pitch and its rakisf
