Gov. Larrabee of Iowa, in his biennial
message to the Legislature, delivered on
Tuesday, says that the enforcement OF the
prohibitory law has been so efficient in re-
ducing crime that he believes a consolida-
ton Of judicial districts, so as to reduce the
number of judges from A to 40, to be ad-
visable He also says:
Il recommend that a joint committee Of
the general assembly be appointed early in
the session to inquire into the reasons for
the reinforcement of this law in certain
communities, and whether the officers there
are neglected. Of their duties. l think
some measures should be adopted to quick
en- the consciences OF the officials who neg
lect or refuse to perform their sworn duty
or else provide a way for their suspension

SHALL BRATTLEBORO HAVE A

On reading an article about forming a

There are many women in Vermont who
would be much aided 10y such union, and
Brattleboro being county town, where
crowds of country people come in shop

summer, would be central place to have
a womans union. The women in Bratte-
boro who are interested in the work of aid
ing other women could take charge of the

every day or three days in a week, as was
found best This work has been done in

whenever the Democratic party comes
near to a complete control Of the country,
it will break its back across the Allegheny
mountains on the tariff question These
prophetic words, says the Iowa State Reg
ister, wore uttered number of years ago
by Gen Grant. 1t would seem from the
present political conditions that the time
has arrived when the foresight and wisdom
of these words are to be indicated The
Democratic party already has the control
of the administration and the lower house,
and is outnumbered in the senate only by
the smallest possible majority. The raising
at this time Of the free trade issue is direct
ly in the line of the ex Presidents prophe-
cy There is little room for doubt that the
tariff sentiment is growing in the West,
and it is evident that there is a serious dis
satisfaction among the Democratic ranks Of
the East over the issue drawn by the Presi-
dents message

Very Prop.r Deci.iOn.

From the st. Johnsbury Calelunan.
Judge Ross, who has been holding coun-
ty court in Orange county, rather startled
the bar and others in the court room on
Wednesday by n decision in regard to some
liquor cases which were on the calendar for
trial. During the call of the docket in one
of these liquor cases the respondents coun-
sci said thai he would have the bonds call
ed. Judge Ross inquired if the respondent
was in the state and being told that he was
said that the bonds might be called il coun-
sci wished, but that mittimus would i'm
mediately issue to bring respondent into
court, as it was the purpose Of the law to
punish the offender, not to license the Of
fence Were the bonds called and forfeit
ed and the respondent allowed to go clear,
il would be impossible ever to get a convic-
ton of first offence i'll liquor selling and
thus our prohibitory statute would operate
merely as license law. This holding Of
Judge Ross, if adhered to, will have sal
utary effect, for it has long been custom
in this and other counties to treat forfeit
ure of his bonds as sufficient penalty for
respondents offence, so much so, indeed,
that he has scarcely ever been rearrested
after his bonds have been paid.
1t would seem then that the one thing
necessary TO make the prohibitory law OPP
erative is for the officers of the law to car
ry out its provisions and penalties and the
temperance people generally thank Judge
Ross for his sensible and just ruling.

A PLEASANT EVENING ON TER
RACE STREET.

One of the genuine surprises Of the sea
son was that which a large party Of the per
sonsl friends Of Capt, and Mrs. +. W.
Childs visited upon them at their delightful
home ON the Terrace on Monday evening.
The occasion was the tenth anniversary Of
their wedding By means Of little skilful
diplomacy on the part of one or two rel
atiyes, Capt, Childs was detained at home
for an hour after tea, and shortly after 1870
the company filed IN from the rendezvous
at Col. and Mrs. Haskinss. The face of
the host was study at first, but the light
soon dawned upon him. The packages
brought 10y the invading company were as
varied in appearance they were numer-
Gus in numbers. Whom opened they re-
yealed some rarely artistic studies in tin
ware. Among them was a gem of unusual

to see Brattleboro Republicans lead of in
this matter, but the smaller towns should
also act promptly. The time for organiza-
