bare majority of one on the bridge bill =,
as against all deals and combines of
those who had scheme of their own
to carry through. No amount of argu-
cumstances." And this seems to be
the popular verdict. 1t is also true
that the WATCHMAN favored incor-
porating into law the purport of the
resolutions of the last state republican
convention in respect of certain rail-
way reforms, which were REINFORCED by
the recommendation of Governors
Ormsbee and Dillingham;. 1t is our
impression that these proposed meas
ures not only did not become laws but
were summarily kicked out of the
legislature-and the foot wearing the
boot is not far to seek. We are rather
proud of our company in our defeat.
And we remember that a certain rail-
way commission bill, drafted and sus-
tanned by so eminent man as Com
missioner Walker, was refused pas
sage in 1882, again in 1884, but finally
triumphed in 1886. So eve may be
happy yet land all the rest of the
state, including the railways, to whose
ultimate advantage the proposed legis-
lation would unquestionably contribute.
Under all the circumstances, we extend
to one or two of our favorite contempo-
raries renewed assurances of dis
tinguished consideration.

The Young Man from Home.

Every human soul is precious, and
its salvation should be worked for.
The grace of God is sufficient for the
rescue of the classes most deeply sunk
in sin, and without that grace our
labors, even for the most hopeful cases,
can effect nothing. Still, experience
has shown that men and women, shat
tered physically, mentally and morally
by long years of sin, are for the most
part, if not wholly, inaccessible-in-
capable of reaching or maintaining
high grades Of Christian profession.
We should do all we can for them, but
in religious work, as in all other
branches of endeavor, an ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure.
The persons most neglected by the
churches are not the fallen, but the
young men and women who go from
respectable families in the country to
enter the great business houses in our
cities. At home they were recognized
members of society In the city no
one cares for them. They are often
personally unknown to their real en-
ployers, and come into contact only
with the heads OF departments. If
their salaries are small, as is likely to
be the case, they are compelled to live
in boarding-houses, many of the in
mates of which are less refined than
themselves. They have been accus-
toned to attend divine service and are
fair judges of preaching. They nat
urally visit the city houses of worship
the names of whose pastors have
reached them in their rural homes. A
wait for seat until the long prayer
before the sermon has ended is not
calculated to enhance devotion, and
often the first visit is the last. Six
days of confinement in a business
house is also irksome to one who has
enjoyed the fresh country breezes.
Where genuine good principle does
not induce one to conquer the chill
which too generally strikes through
the bones of the unknown stranger in
the lobby of fine city church, pride,
fatigue and the evil example and solicit
tations of new acquaintance are too
liable to overcome past habits and
parental warnings. Without drawing
the picture in too dark colors, it is safe
to say that the recruits for the bar-room
and the brothel are largely drawn from
young persons who went to the city
with no intention of doing wrong.
Some of the churches are active, the
young mems and young women's

Increase of Taxation.

Probably farmers pay larger pro-
portion of taxes, according to the
actual amount of property owned by
them, than any other class. If, then,
any class of people have special reason
to complain of the rapid increase of the
expenditures of the state it is the
farmers. If, as in other states, the
duties of our officials had become more
onerous in consequence of the growth
of the state, there would be some rea-
son for corresponding increase of
salaries; but here the burden of the
Office in several notable instances in
which the increase of salary has been
greatest is actually less than it was
forty years ago. In proportion to the
size and wealth of the state, Vermont
now pays for nearly all the places in
her government much more than is
paid for the same grade of service in
New York. Few persons are aware
has been to official salaries. We find
in an old book History of YER
mont by Nathan Hoskins-publishe
in 1881 the following statement of the
cost of the state government at that
time. In 1880 the grand list was ST.
S34 $50. Three cents on the dollar was
generally voted for the support of the
government. The sum paid into the
treasury for taxes that year was $780,
942.36, and So, $500 was derived from
other sources, making the total revenue
of the state $40, 1926. Taking the
census of 1880, the annual sum which
each individual in the state paid for the
protection of his person aud property
and the advantages of free govern
ment was about 20 cents. Among the
salaries paid out by the state the gov
ernor had $3.50; each of the Judges,
81 $50; secretary, $3.50; treasurer, $500;
secretary to governor and council, $3.50.
The historian adds: $50 long as the
government continues economical in
its expenditures the freedom of the
country may be preserved. Large sal
aries and prodigal emoluments are pro-
ductive of ruinous controversies and
political intrigues." 1t will be seen
that the grand list of the state was
about the same in 1880 that it is now,
but much larger than it was for many
years before the inventory law went
into effect The total expense of the
state government was then a little less
than $50, 900 annually. Now the appro-
priations for the support of the state gov
eminent for the two years ending June
30, 1890, amount to 81 ,150,0 00-more
than eleven times as much annually
as it cost in 1880. And yet in 1880 the
grand list of the state, without the aid
of the iron-clad inventory schedule, was
ahOut the same that IL is in 1888 M

A Practical Greed.

For forty years the Independent has
been foe to the liquor traffic. We
hate it for the evil there is III it, we
fight it because it destroys the good
there is in man. 1t breeds vice and
brutality and it multiples crime. 1t
turns riches into poverty, brings fam
lilies to starvation and saps the strength
and nobility of manhood. 1t is a curse
to society and scourge to the state.
As curse, it has a fearful grip upon
society; as scourge, it has enOr-
nous power in the state. But strong
in the faith that it can be finally de-
stroyed, we would loosen its grip and
break its power wherever, whenever
and by whatever method this can be
done. O We believe in persuading
men not to patronize the saloon. Re-
form the drunkard and rescue the
drinker, and you cripple it by remov-
ing its support. Fortify the youth
against its seductions and you cut off
its supply of new patrons. Let ibis
educational work, this work of personal
reformation, 90 on. Let the churches
work; let league and lodge and society
work; let the press do its utmost to
wrest from the saloon its support and
undermine its power and influence
(2) We believe in suppressing it by
law. A state or community in which
these educational forces are strong and
aggressive is prepared for effective
legal measures. Where public opinion
will support constitutional prohibition,
let constitutional prohibition be adopted
and enforced. Where that method is
too radical for public opinion at pres
ent, try prohibition by county or town.
If the cities can not be reached by pro-
hibitiOn, try restriction. Get prohibi-
ton wherever you can: get restriction
where you can not get prohibition; get
everywhere the most effective legisla-
ton possible. Close every saloon, if
you can; close half of them, if you can
do no better; close one, even, if yOuI
can close no more. Close by constitu-
tional prohibition, close by local option,
close by restriction, whether by lowI
license, high license or taxation. Close
all you can by what means you can, and
cripple, if possible, all you can not close.
Our creed may be summed up in a fewI
words: Cd Abstain and get others to !
abstain; GU prohibit in whole or in
part; CD restrict where you can not
prohibit; (4) get new legislation if
needed; 60 vote only for men who
will give it; co use vigorously all the
law you have. With the gospel of
sweet reasonableness persuade the vic
Tins; with the terrors of the law visit
the offenders. York Independent

IT is unquestionably true that fair
count in the close congressional dis
tricts would give the republicans good
working majority in the house of rep
resentatives of the fifty-first congress.
When, however, it was known that
Cleveland had been def eated, and Wis
ions of continued power were fading in
thin air before the prospective incoming
of new northwestern states and the in
creasing presentation-after 1890
in the old republican states, to check
the tide of disaster to modern democ-
racy plot was Matched to steal the
house and interpose that branch of the
legislative department between repub-
lican triumph and the full fruiton of
victory. 1t is not likely that the plot
will succeed, but the republicans will
rescue the full fruits of the election by
a very slender margin, and perhaps
after fierce parliamentary contest.
1t is probable that no chances from
death or other causes will be taken, but
that Congress will be called to meet as
soon after March as it can be legally

THE right of a state to prohibit, to
any extent that it chooses, the manufac-
ture and sale of Intoxicating liquors
within its borders, so far IS the Consti-
tuition of the United States is con-
cerned, seems to be settled by the re-
cent decision of the supreme court in
the Iowa case. The full text of the
opinion, as delivered by Justice Lamar,
is given in late number of the Chicago
Legal NeCS. The ground taken by the
court is that there is nothing in the
federal Constitution, or in any of the
amendments, to prevent any state from
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating liquors within its own
borders; that the police power of a
state is as broad and plenary as the tax
ing power; that property within the
state is subject to the operations of the
former power so long as it is within
the jurisdiction of the state; and that
the power to regulate commerce, vested
in congress, does not protect a person
in manufacturing Intoxicating liquors
in the state of Iowa against the statutes
of that state.

THE Cdledonian takes Hon. G.. S.
Page severely to task for arranging for
the Vermont papers low clubbing rates
with city weeklies. We are inclined
to commend Mr.. Pages action in this
matter. We recognize in this gentle
man a man of unusual energy, fore
sight and soundness of judgment, and
a man, too, whom we believe is actuated
by very praiseworthy and patriotic mo-
tives. We see no reason for the Gale
DOMAINS structures upon the action of
gentleman so public spirited, untiring
and unexceptionable in public and pri-
vate affairs as this clear-headed and
pushing citizen of "spunky Lamoille."
We look upon the city weeklies as a
very important help aud supplement to
the Vermont weekies. They deal with
national, foreign and general affairs
with fullness that the Vermont weekly
can not supply to its readers, if it should
try; and they leave the local editor
who is enterprising and capable free to
put in his work and use his columns
just where he has the greater advan-
tage and where competent editorial
work is abundantly needed-on local
and state affairs. The city weekly and
the country weekly are not antagonistic,
no more than the religious and the
secular press

THE report of the secretary of the in

THE report of the secretary Of the in
terror shows that some eighty-three
million acres of land have been re-
covered to the public domain through
the forfeiture of railway grants and
cancellation of private entries for vari-
Gus causes. This is equivalent to half
the area of Texas or three times the
area of Ohio. Upwards of fifty millions
of this vast area were recovered from
the railroads and there are still some
sixty-fve million acres in the hands
of persons or companies that have no le-
gal or moral right to the land. In the
recovery of this immense domain both
political parties in congress have CO.
operated. The good work of protecting
the peoples lands has been one of the
few instances in which the public well
fare has been held superior to partisan
politics or personal interest.

Christian associations are very useful !;
but, unlike the saloon, they are not to be
found on almost every corner, and
moreover have not the silent help of
the deceitful human heart.
A great city has been described as
great desert, and so it is for the newly
arrived and friendless stranger. His
first year in the city is generally the
most critical in young mans life.
Recognizing this fact, the Rev. Edward
Judson, a son of the missionary, re-
signed his New Jersey pastorate and
started church in New York for the
special benefit of clerks and manufac-
turers' employees. His enterprise has
been very successful, and New York
and other cities should abound in SINH
lar undertakings. Yet the inroads of
business and the shifting of the we'll
to-do population to the outskirts of the
city have closed scores of church doors
in lower New York and central Boston.
The religious opportunities for the &C.
cupants of the clearinghouse which
have replaced the private dwellings are
annually becoming more and more re-
stricted. 1t is in view of this state of
things that the recent discussions have
taken place in New York. 1t is all
right that people who have gone above
Central Park or out to Back Bay should
have houses of worship near home,
but they have no right to forget the
thousands they have left behind them.
The Church of Rome makes no such
mistakes. Rarely, if ever, does it va
cate a lot once built upon. If not
available for its original occupants, it
can be made so for worshipers of
another social grade.
We are glad that the New York meet
ing has been held. 1t certainly is full
time that the city churches were wax
ing up to their possibilities. There
is another side to the question. The
majority of the future great men of the
city are the now obscure toilers in
offices, shops and manufactures. Their
early religious convictions were gen.
orally formed in the rural meeting
house. If they can have their homes
already pledged to the Redeemer's
service a great protection is thrown
around them. Their probable emigra-
ton is double stimulus for promoting
the conversion of our village boys and
girls in their first youth. Next, whether
Christians or not, their pastors or other
friends should learn their new where
abouts and send the facts to the Chris
tian association or to the pastor of
some church In all cases they should
be followed "-secretly perhaps
but surely. If, in spite of prayer and
counsel, they choose ruin, they will
alone be to blame, which, as things now
are, we fear, is too often not the case.

their party a president and now gives
it scant plurality of the popular vote.
Similar Conditions.

A writer in the Christian Union is
" tramping in old Virginia." and his
letters contain some items of special
interest to Vermonters. AT Charlottes-
vile circle, gathered around the wood
fire one evening in the hotel office, was
of can unusually high type, includ-
ing one, the principal physician of
the place, descendant of the Jeffer-
sons and Randolphs." The deprecia-
ton of farm lands since the war be-
came the subject of conversation. The
physician, "who was superior man
as his ancestry Indicated" told, among
other instances, of farm of three
hundred acres with a ten thou
sand dollar house upon it which had
sold few days before for six thousand
dollars. The Virginia farmers, it was
explained, could not raise wheat to
compete with the West. Their near
ness to the seaboard did not help them
much, as the freight-rates which they
had to pay for the short distance were
nearly as much as the western farmers
paid for the long.
Similar conditions seem to confront
the tillers of the soil in the Old Do
minion and in the Green Mountain
State. We believe it is for the general
good that rates shall be arranged with
an equitable regard for the great inter-
Otherwise its condition, with its inter-
lacing lines of railways, may be as in
juriously affected by too easy COM
munication as China is by no railway
communication at all between districts.
In the latter country famine prevails
in one part of the empire while there
is overlooking abundance in another.
Here property loses its value, its own
ers are impoverished, fertile regions
are abandoned to the encroachments
of the wilderness, because, in some de-
cisive part, the railways carry the
products of regions thousand and
more of miles further away at rates as
low-if, indeed, they are not lower
than they carry similar products of
farms lying hard by the common
markets of the country. If railway
shall not be allowed, by favoritism OF
discrimination in rates, to build up one
town at the expense of another, shall
competing systems of railways be suf-
fered to bring loss and disaster to large
sections of a common country through
favOritism or discrimination? Yer
mont butter can sympathize with Vir-
ginia wheat, and Vermont farm lands
with similar property in Virginia. The
interstate commission and congress
working in unison must provide some
solution to this problem. The first
step in this work of rehabilitating
abandoned or impoverished land in Yer
mont, as in Virginia, is outside of the
functions of commissioner of immi-
grafton

its publication. The paper has been
one of the most powerful among the
many agents that, combined, have
