NOTE AND COMMENT.

Last Sunday after Sunday school
a reporter interviewed Mr.. Wanna
maker who is quoted as saying,
There is only one side to prohibition
and that is the right side, constitu-
tional amendment. / am in favor OF
it first, last and all the time"
President Harrison's prompt at
tention to filling the offices in Mon
tana is doubtless due to the fact that
his son is a prominent man there.
Besides running daily in Helena,
Russell Harrison has purchased an
interest in Frank Leslie's Weekly and
will take charge of that paper from
Chicago to the Pacific coast.
Tell everybody to investigate. The
mines are sell, SO telegraphs a
miner from San Diego to a firm at
Los Angeles. The gold mines OF
Lower California have enriched the
real estate agencies and the railroads
but the horde of prospective miners
have been deceived and impoverished.
1t is the old, old story-mine, miner,
minus.
The following is the exact wording
of the constitutional amendment,
which, having passed two legisla-
lures will be voted upon by the citi-
zens of Massachusetts April ODD
THE manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors to be used as a
beverage are prohibited. The gene
raj court shall enact suitable legisla-
ton to enforce the provisions of this
article"
Thomas Mast, whose cartoons in
Harper's Weekly made both artist
and periodical famous, is now the
political artist of the San Francisco
Examiner This paper is owned by
Senator Hearst, the wealthy demo-
cratic senator from California, and
is run by his son. Nast's first car
toon represents an elephant labelled
the republican party walking over
Harrison in search for spoils.

PROSPECTUS INDnsrRY.

Two representatives of the Rogers
Brothers Silver company of Hart
ford, CT, were in town last week
looking for a place to locate new
factory. They were taken over town
and expressed considerable satisfac-
ton at the site shown them near the
granite works at the depot. They
want to start factory for making
knives and forks and if they locate
here will bring about 100 skilled
workmen and about so families.
They want the town to exempt them
from taxation for 10 years and take
a loan of $4,000 for which they
will pay interest until fully paid.
Several of our leading citizens have
taken hold of the matter and are do
ing their best to induce the company
to locate here The company have
been assured that the town will I'M
doubtedly meet them half way and
if they seem to favor this place a
special town and village meeting
will be called to see what the citizens
propose to do. Here is a possibility
of getting new and prosperous in
dustry into town, but we very much
fear that St. Johnsbury will be pass
ed by as heretofore.

The LnmoiIIe County savings Bank.

The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust company, of Hyde Park
has been organized by men who be-
lieve that a savings bank can be run
as a Vermont institution.
1t relies exclusively upon Vermont
business, makes no southern or west
ern loans whatever, nor any loans
which the managers cannot ascer-
tain by personal investigation to be
good beyond question.
The conservative policy of its Pres
ident, Hon. c. S. Page, is well known
to all who have observed his recon-
mendations as Inspector of Finance
for the state of Vermont during the
past four years. His ideas have been
regarded as over-cautious touching
the matter of investments, but the
policy of the management of this
bank will be in the exact line of his
well known views. Safety will be
the first consideration, and with this
in view the bank will guarantee the
payment of four per cent. compound
ed semi-annually, believing that this is
all that the safest line of investments
and conservative management will
now warrant.
Persons at a distance can send
money with entire safety by express,
post office order, express money or
der, registered letter, or by bank
check or draft, and deposit book will
be returned by mail.
Deposits in this institution are ex-
empt from individual taxation to the
extent of ST 500. tmh21

RESUBMITTED.

The legislature of Rhode Island
to resubmit the question of prohibi-
ton III the constitution to the peo-
pie This coming only a day or two
after the voters of New Hampshire
refused by a large majority to incor-
porate a prOhibitory clause into its
constitution depresses temperance
men everywhere and makes those in
the rum interest correspOndingly jul
bilant. This action in these two
states must have an influence in Mas

April %; but the friends of temper
ance are not disheartened They en-
listed for the war
AS to the action on the question of
resubmission in Rhode Island. that
staunch antable republican journal,
the Pawtucket Gazette, charges di-
rectly that republicans in the legisla-
ture were bought, and that the price
lis said to be $4,000, and the goods
have been delivered" 1t further
says, quite significantly, that 1.-The
unholy alliance of the leaders of the
republican party with the rum party
and the saloons means the formation
of new party that will respect law,
see that it IS enforced and honestly
redeem its pledges to the people"
The same paper says plainly that
prohibition In this state has not had
a fair trial The execution of the
law has been left to its enemies, and
in nearly every case they have pro-
claimed the law a failure without a
solitary attempt at enforcement. -
The Gazette certainly is in position
to know of what it speaks and it
must make the leaders of its party in
Rhode Island vince when it declares
"Resubmission is step backward.

STILL RETAINED ON THE BOA RID.

Now that the inauguration Junket
is over Governor Dillingham; has OPP
pOrtunitv to enquire into the con-
duct of member of the commission
asvIum-a commission appointed by
himscl-whO so far misrepresented
his position, wronged a brother
member of the committee and dis
graced himself, as to write SANDER
Gus and defamatory letter about
Representative Hazen and send 1t to
apolitical enemy in Mr.. Hazen's own
town, who, after carefully erasing
his own name, gave it to Il faithful
henchman to circulate among certain
ones with the evident purpose to in
lure Mr. Hazen. This stab in the
back is characteristic of the politician
here who received the letter, but
what do the people of Vermont think
of DR.. GrOut of Stowe who wrote the
letter, or of Gov. Dillingham; who ap-
pointed and still retains him on the
commission?
All these facts and more were given
the governor three or four weeks ago.
As the CaledOnian has repeatedly
said, the action of the commission
on the state insane asylum will not
bear investigation. The more that
is known of it the worse it appears.

PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS

Some of the important appoint
ments made by President Harrison
the past week are these: w w.
Thomas of Maine minister to
Sweden; Samuel X. Thayer, minister
to the Netherlands; first assistant
pOstmaster-gener James S. Clark
son of Iowa, vice A. +. Stevenson, re-
signed; commissioners to represent
the United States in the conference to
be held at Berlin concerning the Sa-
moan islands, John kasson of Iowa,
William Walter Phelps of New Jersey
and George H. Bates of Delaware;
Whitelaw Reid of New York, to be
envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipOtentiary of the United States
to France; William F Fitch, post
master at Winchester, Mass.
In reply to an inquiry made by
Senator Edmunds, President Har-
rison said that he expected to have
all the appointments that it was nee
essary to make at this time ready to
send in within 10 days or two weeks
These appointments seem to give
general satisfaction though putting
Clarkson into a position where he
can control the patronage of 10000
post Offices is not encouraging news
for civil service reformers. The Presi-
dent is generally credited with having
made three good nominations to the
