PROHIBITION IN THE WEST.
At the Liquor Dealers and Saloon
Keepers convention held at Rock
Island, H., September 10, the re-
p ort of the trustees showed that the
association had done much work the
past year in organizing local socie-
ties, hiring speakers and raising
funds to protect itself against the
rising spirit of prohibition in the
great state Of Illinois. But a very
gloomy feeling existed owing to
the growth of temperance sentiment,
the adoption of the constitutional
amendment in Iowa, the position of
Kansas in temperance matters and
the general growth of temperance
sentiment throughout the West.
The resolutions adopted teach quite
a lesson in themselves:
ResoZUed, That we will use our best en-
deavors to defeat at the next election
any candidate for any Office who cannot
be freely relied upon as being uncompro-
misingly opposed to all attempts at
sumptuary and prohibitory legislation
and be it further
Res0Z0ed, That we are decidedly in fav-
or Of abolishing all the abuses incident
to the liquor traffic by proper system OF
licensing and regulating the business il
such manner as to fully protect our in.
terests and at the same times elevate the
trade to a higher standard.
Res0lUed, That the manly and outspok
en- declaration against prohibition and 6
prOhibitory amendment to our state con
stitution, as adopted by the last demo
cratic state convention is deserving Of
the highest praise on the part of this con
vention.

and unknown, so far as worldly po-
litical fame goes, be he never So
great and good. A little democracy
in the Legislature tends to put the
republicans on their good behavior
and helps, on the other hand, to lif
the little minority up into the pur,
atmosphere of republicanism. See
No; there is no harm in sending
few democrats to the legislature.

ENOUGH SAID.
VentiOn.

Since the election there has been
considerable said and written about
the second district and the small ma
jority by which Judge Poland was
elected to congress. The surprise to
the JUDGE aud to his friends is about
CIRCUITS friends, when they discover
ed that the Judge carried too many
guns for them in the nominating con-
vention. But the matter is ended
now and the talk pro and con rela-
tive to the merits of candidates. the
votes, etc., should cease. The only
thing of interest now is the success
Of Gen. Grout during the remainder
OF his term, and that Of Judge Poland
III the two years following. The
friends of Gen. Grout hope to see
his congressional career end as well
as 1t has begun, and they will as ca
gerly hope that the Judge may take
that prominent place in congress
which was accorded to him when he
was there years ago. Every Yer
monter will rejoice in his success, and
Will have right to expect that his
great experience as legislator, his
excellent knowledge of law, particu-
larry Of the United States law, his
acquaintance with men and his abili-
ty IN council and debate, will give
him a most honored standing in con-
gress and add lustre to a fame al
ready national.
The Judge, while he has been an
noyed and piqued by the opposition
he has recently met, has an excel
lent opportunity to silence his critics
and to conquer his enemies, by en-
tering upon such a course of dealing
with men and matters, as shall be
marked by wisdom and justice and
entitled to universal respect. While he
has already won renown, he may
hope, with his ripper years, to enter
upon that higher plain of statesman
ship which shall set his name along
side that of the few great names
which adorn a generation and find a
place in a nations history. We op-
posed his candidacy for the office,
and have not been accused, by his
friends at least, of being his ardent
supporter, but we have no desire to
prolong our opposition or to rasp on
anything of the past. We expect
that Vermont will reap the highest
honors from her able representatives
to congress; Luke P. Poland.
John w. Stewart and our re-
renowned senators.

STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL CON-
VENTION.

The fourteenth annual convention
of the State Sunday school Associa-
ton of Vermont was held at Mont
aayer u l?str Wff8fbdka6h G 81 B TRtafTs=
boro, president of the association,
was the general conductor. The
convention, consisting Of about 800
delegates, was called to order at
1870 a. m. Wednesday, and after
devotional exercises, Rev. J. III.
Hincks of Bethany" delivered the
address of welcome to which the
president responded in very appro-
pirate language. An address on
'EThe workers life and it's influence"
followed. In the afternoon there
was a praise service, at the close of
which Rev. DR.. George B. Stafford,
Of Burlington, spoke on what use
should be made of the revised edi-
ton of the Bible in Sunday school
teaching. His remarks were quite
interesting and were listened to with
attention. Singing made pleasant
lnterlude between that and the adj
dress on the teaching process, by
DIR. j. FL. Vincent. Rev. M. d.
Jump of Bennington, closed the aft
ernoon session with a discourse on
the intensification of the Spiritual
idea in Sunday school work. In the
evening there was a service of song
at Bethany church, followed by an
address by Rev. Merritt Hulburd of
Burlington, on ''The Book" Thurs
day morning the exercises were held
at Bethany, and consisted of devo-
tional exercises, annual business
meeting, when the former board of
officers were reelected and an adj
dress by S. L. B. Spear, of Middle
bury. The afternoon was devoted
to discourses, and in the evening DR..
j. IL. Vincent delivered his renown-
ed lecture ''That Boy" The con-
vention was decided success in
every respect. The citizens enter
tanned visitors and also spread ample
tables in the vestry of Trinity
church.

According to the annual statement
prepared by the Commercial and FL
ndncjdt Chronicle the cotton crop for
the twelve months ending August is
considerably less than that for either
OF the two preceding seasons. The
yield was 5,435,845 bales in 1881
81, 6,589,329 in 1880-81 and 5.657-
367 in 1880. The average weiobt
of the bales is also less for the last
than for either Of the two preceding
crops, being 475.67 pounds in 1881
g, 1888 in 1880-81 and 1875 in
1880. In aggregate weight the
production of the past year is 1894
per cent less than that of the pre-
ceding season. The Chronicles fio-
ures show a steady increase in the
amount of cotton manufactured in
the south. In 1879-80 the amount
consumed by southern mills was
100000 bales, in the following wear
it was 205, 600 and in the season Just
closed it reached 238, 900.

The republicans of Massachusetts
met at Worcester on Wednesday and
nominated Robert R. Bishop for
governor. An informal ballot show
ed that a majority of the delegates
were in favor Of Bishop, whose chief
competitor was Congressman Grape.
The nomination was afterwards
made by acclamation. Senator
Hoar, chairman, delivered an admir-
able address which abounded in his
torical facts, good sense and oratory.
In Connecticut, Lieut-Gov. Buckley
was nominated for governor, by the
republicans.

The New York state republican
convention at Saratoga, Wednesday,
nominated Charles j. Folger for gov
ernor. The first ballot stood: Fol-
ger 223, Cornell 1870, Wadsworth So,
Starin 10, Robinson 6, necessary to
a choice 249. On the second ballot
there was great confusion, owing to
the change Of their vote by several
delegates, and for a while it looked
as if there would be a stampede to
Cornell. After long period of ex-
citement order was restored and the
vote was announced giving Folger
PSI, Cornell 222, necessary to a
choice 249. The result was received
with tumultuous cheers. On motion
of Senator Warner Miller, who made
a stirring speech promising that the
friends of Cornell would support
Folger heartily, the nomination was
made unanimous.

Speaking of the duty of Irish
American voters, the Boston Pilot in
a late issue remarks: "There have
been too many Irish Americans on

nothing to expect from the other

were so sure of us that they didn' t
care for us. Hold on tight! We're

Tuesday, the 10, was the first an
niversary Of the death of General
James A. Garfield, the soldier,
statesman and patriot. During the
year that has passed a few-and it
is creditable to human nature that
the number is so small-of the ghouls
OF the press and of politics have been
busy IN attempting to defame his
character and detract from the sa-
cred legacy he has left the people of
this country, in his exhibition of
Christian fortitude and true, unen-
ing manhood: and yet his name and
fame, his distinguished services in
the battle and in the forum of his
country, shine brighter and brighter
as the days and months multiply into
years. His is a martyrs crown; and
IN many homes and in many hearts
IN this broad land there will be touch
ing remembrance of him, and tear
ful eyes when his name is reverently
spoken. In the language of E. B.
Powers, Esq, of the Nashua high
school I've mourn for him who
has passed through the gates of i'm
mortality; as the first citizen of the
Republic, and in fidelity to duty the
noblest Roman of them ALL"

The democrats of Massachusetts
have again nominated Ben. Butler
for governor. Expecting to be beat
anyway, they propose to let the odium
fall on the brazen Ben, who has
been defeated in the same state and
for the same office, ever since 1859,
having run no less than four times.
Butler was first democrat, then re-
publican, then greenbacker, then
half democrat and half greenback
and now anything to be governor.
He will be beaten again in Novem-
Der. Ben has the ''sinews" for a
good political fight and the demo-
cratic politicians will use them cheer
fully and freely.

The Portland AdUertiser notes the
fact that the National Enquirer, a
greenback paper published at Lewis
ton, has suspended for the present
and that the Bangor FTeeho7der will
drop politics and become q family

In Ohio, the greenback organization
has. melted away. There are no
headquarters and there will be no
greenback vote. In Iowa, Mr..
Weaver favors the abandonment of
the greenback name, and it might
have added the craze has practically
come to all end in New Hampshire.

The late state convention adopted
a resolution deprecating the one term
practice in the election of members
of the legislature, and the result
illustrates very well the value of res
olutions in general. Not a member
OF the senate of 1880 is returned and
barely dozen or fifteen members OF
the house, among them j. L. Martin
OF Londonderry, one of the commit
tee who reported the resolution to
the convention. In the list of mem
bers there are several more than the
number named who have had expert
ence at one time and another, but
not as many as usual, while usually
the number of such is far too small
This all means a waste of time and
money and a mass Of crude legisla-
ton to be corrected and perfected by
