A Nasty Libel.

The Montpelier Argus of last week
in the course of a TRADE against the
Vermont press association, says: "The
whole organization is now controlled
and run in the interest of lot of bum
mers."
Let us see who these "bummers" are
who control and run" the Vermont
press association. The officers are
supposed to manage the affairs of an
organization, and among these are the
following well known men in the state
President, G. G. Benedict, editor of the
Burlington Free Press. Vice presi-
dents, Warren Gibbs, editor of the st.
Adams Messenger, and d. NJ. Camp,
editor of the Newport Express. Exec
utive committee, Luther o. Green, ed
itOr of the Woodstock Standard, Albert
Clarke, editor of the Rutland Herald,
and d. Leonard of BrattlebOre.
The word "bummer" is as much a
misnOmer when applied to any of these
men as the word gentleman" would
be if applied to the editor of the Argus.

CANDIDATE w. l.. PEARL.

The candidate for the second place
on the prOhibitory ticket is w. L. Pearl
of st. Johnsbury. He isn't counting on
an election with any great degree of
certainty, yet there are some things
that can be said of him with as much
pOsitiveness as though his election
were assured. He is a thoroughly
clean, level-headed, upright man. He
is a native of Sheffield, and was born
in 1887. He left Sheffield at the age of
IA to make his own way in the world,
graduated at the Orleans Liberal In
stitute of Glover, represented that
town through two biennial sessions of
the legislature and was for many years
superintendent of education and clerk
and treasurer of that town, where a
large number of the years of a very
busy life have been spent. He is an
active, wide-awake, business man, de-
clares that he wonld rather vote and
support the republican ticket every
day in the week if the party managers

The Prohibitory State Ticket.

The last CaledOnian gave simply the
result of the prohibition state cOnven-
ton held at Burlington the day pre-
viOus. The resolutions adopted and
the ticket nominated will be found in
this paper. The ticket is unexception-
al in character. All the men whose
names appear are staunch, true men.
Whether it be the time to make the
greatest evil that now curses our land
a distinct political issue, some good
men are yet in doubt; but there is no
doubt about the evil or the honesty
and sincerity of the men who have en-
listed for the war of determination. If
it be claimed that the prohibitiOnists
make but one issue and that political
party cannot stand on platform of a
single plank, it can be retorted that
neither of the old parties have a single
distinct issue on which their party is
united. A platform with one plank,
and that living one, is better than a
platform on which man can stand in
New England but which will certainly
throw him in Pennsylvania or the
Vest.

Politics and Temperance.

1t looks now as though the temper
ance movement had gained all it pos
sibly could from politics. The repub-
lican party has always been the avow-
ed friend of the reform, the prohibitory
party makes it the sole issue, and now
the democrats swing into line "resolv-
ing" for an enforcement of the law
strictly, until it shall be repealed.
Thus all parties throughout the state
range themselves together against rum.
But until the people will stand up and
enforce that which they are always
willing to vote for no more will be &C
complished than has been hitherto.
There is law enough, machinery
enough, and if the same vigor which is
used in organizing and developing a
new political party were directed to
the prosecution of individual violatOrs
of the law known to the organizers
themselves, or to the prosecution OF
derelict officials, more good would be
done in year than the party as such
could do in decade Newport Ex-

GEN. WELLS RESIGNS.


The most noted of the contested
cases in the senate is at last practically
disposed of by the resignation of Gen
eral Wells as collector of customs at
Burlington. Gen. Wells was suspend
ed early in the administration, as it
was understood, upon charges. These
charges, however, it has been impOssi
BILE to get before the judiciary COM
mittee. One paper in particular was
said to contain sworn charges against
him. This was one of the documents
refused in the noted controversy about
the "papers." In consequence the
committee reported adversely on the
nomination of Smalley and practically
indicated Gen. Wells. In addition to
this it is said that the treasury depart
ment did furnish in partial response to
the request of the judiciary committee
statement that the department was
in the possession of no charges which
reflected upon the honor of Gen. Wells.
This is said to satisfy the General and
he resigns. Another reason for this
action is found in the fact that Gen.
Wells, who has been nominated for the
state senate, would be ineligible had he
retained his office of collector, which it
has been insisted he still retained. Col.
Smalley's confirmation seems now as
sured.
In his letter of resignation General
Wells INDUCES in some sharp criti-
cisms on the presidents sincerity in
making appointments. He says:
During the entire term of my SER
vice as collector, l have given to it my
best energies, and in the selection OF
subordinates, have, without exception,
taken first into account the necessities
of the service, and the fitness of the
persons appointed. l have in no in
stance appointed man to office, OF
recommended an advance in his COM
pensatiOn, or his promotion, in any
way, with any other view, or because
of any service he had rendered, OF
might be expected to render, the re-
publican party, directly or indirectly
In the face of a public declaration that
no faithful officer should be removed
without cause, l was suspended, and
not even granted hearing; in fact, a
man from the lowest grade, an en-
plOye, not an officer of the govern
ment, was, after my suspension, de-
tailed to make a case against me. "In
his attempt to do this, it is believed he
was simply Obeying the instructions
of his superiors." 1 care nothing about
being suspended because 1 am a re-
publican but after serving faithfully
asa soldier in the war of the rebellion
for more than four years and l3 years
as collector of customs, any attempt
to make me out an unfaithful servant,
is, submit, unjust to say the least.
In closing he says: My personal and
official conduct as collector having
been fully indicated, hereby resign
the office of collector of customs for
the district of Vermont.

COL. HOOKER IN THE FIELD.

The rumors which were circulated
last week to the effect that Col. Geo.
w. Hooker of Brattleboro was on a
''still hunt" to capture the nomination
for congress in this district, have this
week been verified and there is no
longer doubt but every effort is being
made throughout the district by Col.
Hooker's friends to elect delegates ia
vorable to him at the caucuses which
are generally to be held on Saturday
of this week.
This will be a surprise to a large
share of the voters of the second dis
trict, as they generally, we feel sure,
are satisfied with their present repre-
sentative, Gen. Circuit, and have been
anticipating his denomination without
opposition. 1t may be further said
that Gen. Grout is also a much better
man for the position, and even if the
opposition to him had come openly
and squarely, still the people would
make a poor bargain in exchanging
Grout for Hooker.
AS the delegates who are to make
the nomination are not generally elect
ed yet, it behooves the friends of Gen
GrOut to bestir themselves at once
Col. Hooker is willy politician. He
learned the business in New York city
and he brings those questionable meth
DDS into Vermont. He is also a lead
ing Grand Army man and will work
that organization for all it is worth in
the lower end of the district. Strange
ly enough he will have the influence in
Brattleboro of those good men, the
Esteys, and Lieut.-GOv. Fuller. 1t will
not be very strange if Windham coun-
ty elects tOlerably solid delegation
of Hooker men to the district cOnven.
ton at Montpelier next Wednesday
and if Col. Hooker shouldn't get all the
support there he reckOns on he may
count it as so much capital for TIVE
years hence.

The PrOhibitionists.

The bane of nearly all new move
ments is that men who have not sue
ceeded in other movements, or who
are sOured, or wish to gain new char
acter, or are so radical they must have
special field of endeavor all to them
selves upon the new scheme and give
it bad start, Notwithstanding a few
able, earnest and true men are in it al
so. The prohibition state convention
at Burlington Wednesday was made
up of all these classes, and possibly of
some more, though we could not name
many more unless II single individual
is to be considered a class. The nomi-
nees, so far as they are known, are men
of sense and character. The only re-
forms suggested by the platform are
constitutional prohibition and the cleo
ton of prOhibitiOnists to enforce the
laws. Will prohibition be any more
effective when made constitutional,
since the eonstitutionality of it has
over and again been sustained by the
supreme court? And as for electing
prOhibitiOnists to enforce the law, that
may be well enough, but is it not bet
ter to elect men, because they will have
a great many other laws to enforce,
and will do it, not because of special
devotion to any one in particular, but
because it is their duty p Rutland

A WONDERFUL WE'LL.

Probably Kalamazoo, Michigan, has
the most remarkable well in this coun-
try and one of the marvels of the age.
This "well" furnishes the entire water
supply of the city. In 1871 the people
of the town became satisfied that their
water supply was impure, and in their
Investigations for an improved article
struck a remarkable water stratum.
This discovery was soon utilized. A
curb of iron aud masonry was sunk, "a
feet in diameter and about 80 feet in
height. The flow from this well was
immediate, enormous and almost in
credible, and has so continued to this
day. Even now in I886-with a popu-
lation of $4,000 people, 20 miles of
street mains, $50 fire hydrants, a Gas
kill pumping engine of three million
gallons capacity in "a hours, = the

LOCAL AND TOWN NEWS.
THE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.
Address by Hon. John b. Finch.

Address by Hon. John b. Finch.
j. B. Finch, chairman of the nation
al prohibitOry committee, delivered an
address Saturday evening before a
fairs sized audience in Music hall.
While he spoke in behalf of the pro-
hibitOry movement in this state and in
the country there was nothing in the
first half of his address to which the
most ardent republican could take ex-
ceptiOns, if he called himself in any
sense a temperance man. The CEN
tralization of population and power in
the cities and the danger to the insti-
tutiOns of the country that followed
the degradation of the masses as a re-
suit, were fOrcibly shown. Coupled
with this was the fact that the West
no longer has "frontier," that all
these years past has served as safety
valve and over which the crowding
population could pass and occupy a
new country. The tendency there and
here is toward the large centres. If
something be not done to purify these
sources, the future of the country is
crowded with grave problems.
In the latter part of his address the
speaker discussed the third party ques-
ton. The story of the treatment &C
corded the temperance people by the
republican national convention was
graphically told how the prohibit
tionists delayed their convention until
committee could meet the republi-
cans at Chicago; how the republicans
laughed at them and would not even
take their resolutions under cOnsidera-
ton; how they then went before the
democratic convention and were met
in open defiance; how they finally
were forced to adopt the only course
left open to them, and then followed
the story of the organization of the
third party. He referred to the i'm
possibility of the two great parties
uniting on any one great issue before
the country. The East was strong fol
protection and the West for free trade
and both parties were equally divided
on both questions. Both parties were
equally at variance on the temperance
question and neither would do or say a
thing that would cost them the run
vote. Mr.. Finch held the attention OF
his audience for over an hour and a
half. He is very pleasing speaker
The address was entirely free from the
clap trap oratory characteristic of the
stump speaker and was marked by its
strength and candid argument.
Mr.. Finch was introduced by w. L.
Pearl, candidate of the prohibitiOnists
for lieutenant governor. Mr.. Pearl
alluded to the birth and rapid growth
of the prohibitory babe that was fast
getting the use of it's legs and very
happily introduced the speaker.
Sunday evening a gospel temperance
meeting under the auspices of the 1. o.
G.. T. was held in Music hall, Chief
Templar Graham of Hector lodge pre-
siding and Mr.. Finch delivering anoth-
er able and interesting address.

even under "fire PRESSURE" and the
quality of the water is equal to the
purest mountain springs of New En-
gland. So clear and transparent is it
that an object no larger than a five
cent piece can be distinctly seen on
the bottom of the well, through "a feet
of water.
The above facts are obtained from
the Kalamazoo annual reports. Frank
Little, Esq, "a native of st. JOhnsbury.
compiled a concise history of the fire
department and water works of the
town for about 40 years past, and was
the leading man on the sewer commits

present complete system of sewerage.

and light, and its advantage over the
old one is that the idea of putting the
stamp off at one side and the designa-
ton of the article at the opposite side
is abandoned to secure an inclusive de-

the centre. The new card may also be
printed in black ink on white paper.

A Close Shave.

One day last week as James Trefren
of Lyndon was climbing the long steep
hill from this village towards Nathan
Gilman's, thunder shower came up.
He fastened to reach shelter in Mr..
Gilman's house, and just as he stepped
upon the piazza he heard a report loud
er than any cannon, and the effect was
so startling as to bring him upon his
knees. On looking about to see what
was the cause it was found that bolt
of lightning had struck an elm tree
just at the corner of the door yard,
stripping the tree and blowing up the
ground but doing no further damage.
Mr.. Trefren had passed almost under
it's branches in fastening to the house
only q moment before.

LYNDONVILLE.

The republican voters of the town
of Lyndon are requested to meet in
caucus at the town hall at Lyndon
Centre, at 7.30 o'clock, Saturday even
ing July 81, 1886, to elect four dele
gates and four alternate delegates to
the republican district convention to
be held at Montpelier on Wednesday,
Aug. A, at 10 o'clock a. M, for the pur-
pose of nominating candidate for
representative from this district to the
fiftieth congress of the United States.
About 100 cords of wood owned by
the r. r. company was burned near
Roots crossing last Saturday after
noon. The up mail train was delayed
nearly two hours by the fire.
The village voted last Monday even
ing on the question of putting in a
sewer near Raymond street to run i'm a
southerly direction to the river. The
project was defeated by a majority OF
six votes. The friends of the matter
will probably call another meeting
soon.
