JUST CAUSE FOR REVOLUTION.

Senator Blair favorably reported
back to the senate from the educa-
ton committee the joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the con-
stitution in relation to alcoholic IL
quors and other poisonous beverages.
1t provides that from and after the
year 1900 the manufacture and sale
and importation of distilled alcoholic
intoxicating liquors, except for me-
dicinal, mechanical, chemical and
scientific purposes, and for use in
the arts, shall cease. The report
which accompanies the proposed
amendment says the committee does
not deem it necessary to discuss the
evils of the use of alcohol, but be-
lieves the people have right to de.
eide what measures shall be taken
for the regulation or eXtirpation of
this traffic. "Why," it asks, ."should
they be denied the opportunity to be
heard in the on y forum that can pass
upon the question? When any con-
siderable and respectable portion of
the American people desire to plead
their cause in the great tribunal OF
sovereigns, who, in a free country
decide every question of fundumen
tai issue in the last resort, it is the
duty of congress to enact such pre-
liminary legislation as is here pro
posed, that under the forms of tn,
constitution they can be heard on tn
question of its own amendment. II

THE DEMOCRATS.

The democrats held their state con-
vention July %. Mr.. Atkins fore
cast of what would be done was cor
rect and the work as laid out by him
was carried out. On the whole the
democrats present very good tick
ct. Mr.. Shurtleff, the nominee for
governor, prominent Montpelier
lawyer, is a native of Walden and
one of the best lawyers in the state.
The nominee for lieutenant govern
or, Mr.. Meldon of Rutland, is, per-
haps, the most popular of the young
er democrats in the state and is
bright, promising lawyer. In the
nomination of II. E. Folsom of Lyn-
donville, superintendent of the Pas
sumpsic railroad, for congress for
the second district the democrats Sc
lected another bright, clean man,
one who would serve the district
creditably if there was any likelihood
of the ticket being successful.
The absurdity of packing the con-
vention with lot of office holders in
the light of Cleveland's recent civil
service order was apparent even te
to the democrats themselves. The
Brattleboro Retormer Democratic
invites Mr.. Cleveland's attention tc
the fact that the convention was
stuffed full of office holders, includ
ing some 20 postmasters and the U
S. marshal. ''To be sure" says tn
Reto'mer, ''the democracy is in sucI
a minority in Vermont that such
violation of his order can have no eff
feet, except by its example to bree,
the same contemptuous disregar,
elsewhere. The order wasn't issue
to be treated in this way the yer
next week after its appearance. -

The House seems to have taken q
sober second thought since it passed
by an almost unanimous vote some
time ago the Bland proposition re-
quiring the Secretary of the Treas
ury to issue silver certificates OF
small denominations upon all the
surplus silver dollars now in the
Treasury, and to pay them out in
discharge of the obligations of the
Government. Possibly the protests
of the Treasury Department or the
discussion in the Senate may have
influenced the action Of the House
Wednesday. The proposition as it
now stands is deprived of its most
Objectionable features. 1t simply
provides for the issue of silver GER
tificates of the denomination Of one,
two and five dollars upon the deposit
of silver dollars in the Treasury or
in exchange for silver certificates
| of the denomination of ten dollars OF
more, the small certificates to be re-
celvable, redeemable and payable IN
the manner and for the purposes pro-
vided for certificates issued under
the act of Feb. %, 1873; and that
the certificates for large denomina-
tons received in exchange for those
of small denominations shall be can
| celed.

The directors of the Bennington
Battle Monument Association have
decided not to make a celebration at
the beginning of the work of laying
the foundation, on the coming ami
versary of the battle-or rather it
should be said that the people of
Bennington have so decided, for the
directors had no money for the pur-
pose. But at their recent informal
conference they practically decided
that the foundation should be put in
for monument 800 feet high. Some
had favored one for monument only
$50 feet. The decision is worth a
dozen celebrations. The directors
are now officially called together to
locate the structure, and as soon as
that is done the contract for the
foundation will be let and the work
begun. 1t is not now. likely thai
there will be celebration before the
monument is completed, as on the an
niversary of the battle next year the
work of erecting the shaft will be 60
ing forward.

THE PAYNE CASE.

AT the time of the election of SEN
ator Payne of Ohio, it was denounc-
ed even by democratic papers, as
tainted with corruption. Such was
the characterization of leading
democratic paper of this state. Since
then the Ohio legislature has investi-
gated the case, reported that Payne
was elected by bribery, and men,
orialized the senate of the United
States to investigate. If there ever
was case calling for investigation
this would seem to be that one.
Senators Hoar and Frye so be-
lieve; so report and so argue to the
senate. An investigation was de-
handed, said Mr.. Hoar, in the inter-
est of Mr.. Payne, who should be
permitted to establish his title to a
seat now clouded with charges and
suspicious. Admitting for argument
that these charges and suspicious
were wholly unfounded, Mr.. Hoal
contended that it was all the more
reason for Mr.. Payne's yindicatior
by a prompt investigation. During
MI. Hoar's remarks he was contin.
ually interrupted by Messrs. Logan
Teller and Evarts, who seemed to bt
anxious that no point should be al
lowed to pass unquestioned.
The attempt to investigate will
fail, because the Standard Oil Mo
nopoly, whose money secured Payne
election, has millions at Its disposal
and the social influences which it ha
brought to bear have sufficed wher
money was necessary. The extraor
binary course of Senators Evarts
Logan and Teller is colossal blum
der from which they can never re
cover. The people of this countr
know that most of the seats held b
the millionaires of the senate wer
corruptly obtained, and they believ
that the time has come to put an en-
, to it, by whatever party the crime
committed. -Telegrdph.

COST OF RUM AND TOBACCO.

The report of the internal revenue
bureau for the fiscal year lately clos
ed shows the amount of whisky dis
titled and drunk during the year now
ended was 100000 gallons over the
amount for 1885, the total consump-
ton of this liquor being 10000, 900.
Estimating the population of the
country at 60,OO0,OO0, this gives
about one gallon and pint for each
one of us. The consumption Of beer
mounts up to some 624, 100000 gall
Ions, an increase of more than l $780,
from the preceding year, which adj
mits of an allowance of nearly eleven
gallons to each inhabitant. The use
of tobacco Is also constantly increas-
ing, except in the form of snuff, the
falling off in the consumption of that
article reaching nearly 100000
pounds. But in the practice of ci-
garette smoking, which has, in fact,
come into vogue within less than fif-
teen years. there has been an in
crease of twenty-five per cent, the
total number burned being 1,31O,-
900, 200, or about twenty-five apiece
all around. Of manufactured tobac-
co for smoking and chewing, there
were 191, 100000 pounds used, aver
aging about three and one-fourth
pounds each; and of cigars $780,
100000, an increase of 1872, 100000
from last year, or about fifty-nine
fol every inhabitant. If a calcula.
ton Is made of what these large ag.
gregates have cost the consumers al
retail, lowest prices, as five cents fol
a cigar and ten cents for a gill Of
whisky, the total will be found tt
amount to more than 81 200, 000,O 900
not SO very much less than our ma
tional debtor 500 each from al
who live IN our prosperous land.

FOREIGN TRADE STATISTICS

The last report of the bureau of
statistics includes the transactions
for the month of June, which closes
the fiscal year 1856. The exports
of merchandise during the last fiscal
year were valued at $679, 425,7 1872.
This is the smallest for several years,
and is due to the fact that the price
of wheat was kept above the export
ing point by speculative influences.
The largest export of merchandise in
values was during the fiscal year
1901, when the total was 1902,
| 377,34 That was season of
abundant crops here and of a short
wheat crop in Europe. During 1884
-5 the value of exports was $742,-
1S9, 755. The latest monthly reports
however, are more encouraging than
the total for the year. During June
1884, the value of exports was 742,
199,755. The latest monthly re
| ports, however, are more encOurag
ing than the total for the year. Dur
ing June, 1884, the value of mer
chandlse exports was $53, 1881 900
in June, 1885, $48, 483 900; Will

Colonel B. B. Smalley,s confirma-
ton as collector of customs at Bur-
lington is now assured, las Gen Wells,
the deposed republican, has resigned.
The statement that he had been re-
moved son charges led the Senate
under the lead of Mr.. Edmunds to
demand the papers on which these
were presented. Among the docu-
ments furnished by the treasury de-
partment to the judiciary committee
was a statement that the department
was in possession of no chaIges
which reflected on the honor of Gen
Wells. AS the latter has been NOM
mated for state senator, an office to
which he was Ineligible under the
claim that he was still federal Office
holder, Gen Wells has sent in his
resignation as collector. This clears
the decks and leaves the republicans
free to confirm Col Smalley, who il
personally unobjectionable.
