PROHIBITION.

The COngregatiOnalist newspaper
good people because it was opposed
to the adoption of the prOhibitOry
amendment to the constitution of
Massachusetts that many people
have done the paper injustice as a
staunch temperance journal. Some
one out West having accused the
Congregationalist of doing its ut
most against prohibition" that pa
per mildly but decisively replies
so far from doing our utmost
against prohibition, we have for
years advocated, and still advocate
it, as, where public sentiment is ready
forit, the ideal method of Kidding the
land of the curse of the saloon. And
we lately declined to urge the pro-
hibitOrv amendment to our Massa-
chusetts constitution, for the very
reason that we favor prohibition,
and felt that to put it into the con-
stitutiOn would impair its efficacy"
NOT 4 HOWLING WILDERNESS.
A good many people are justly sen
sitive over the impression that most
of the out-ofstate papers give re-
garding Col. Valentines emigration
scheme. Vermonters naturally re-
sent the idea that this state is drying
up and going to seed; that there are
in any true sense deserted farms to
any great extent and to counterfeit
such an impression they point to the
fact that Vermont has at Randolph
the best herd of Jersey COWS in the
United States; that Durham, Hol-
stein and Hereford stock take first
prizes at the New England and Bay
state fairs; that there are in this
state fiocks of sheep unsurpassed in
the entire country. AS regards
horses also there is probably but
one state that surpasses Vermont in
the all-around excellence of her stock
and there are some who will dispute
a claim to superiority anywhere. And
while there are waste and unoccu-
pied lands in Vermont as there are in
every other state, there are probably
more acres under a high state of
cultivation than ever before in the
history of the state. Vermont will
continue to furnish the epicures of
Boston and New York with the best,
and highest priced, gilt-edged butter,
and will still export horses and sheep
to South American breeders for
which they receive fancy prices.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
Another Dam Breaks.

The Spring lake reservoir near Fisk
vile, R. l., which supplies a whole
row of mill villages along the Paw
tuXet river, burst Saturday. Three
persons were drowned and some
damage done to property. They
were walking through a strip of
wood and were overtaken by the
flood and drowned. Their bodies
were found in the wood through
which the water quickly ran, as it
emptied into the PawtuXet river
The river rose rapidly and caused
considerable alarm among the people
on its banks, who thought that the
Ponegansett reservoir, the biggest in
the state, had gone. Many of them
left their houses and fled, but the
flood subsidized as rapidly as it had
come.

not miss the recent issue which dis
cussed with clearness and candor his re-
sponsibility for the riot of spoils in
the Post-Office Department.. ''The rec
ord which Mr.. Clarkson is making
there" says this representative Repub-
Hcan journal of Minnesota, sis a dis
tinct injury to the party. 1t does not
greatly matter to the public or greatly
affect the service whether the postmas-
ter at some crossroads is Republican or
Democrat. But it does affect the party
in the eyes of the people to know that
removals in the postal service have been
made at the rate of 20, 900 in about six
months" Growing more emphatic as it
proceeds, the Pioneer-Press says: 1--WE
speak plainly, and speak as Republic
ans anxious for the future of the party,
and we say most emphatically that this is
neither Civil-Service reform nor good
politics. There are some signs already
of discomfort with it. Local elections
here and there, notably that in Indian
apolis, evidence the growing discomfort
that follows as a constant Nemesis on
the footsteps of the party that, in these
days, fails to come up to the height of
its own aspiration and disappoints pub
lie hope and expectation."-N Y. Even

President Eliot's Politics.

The choice of the particular word
''disloyal' by the Republican press to
express their feeling in regard to Presi-
dent Eliot is either sufficiently mean
ing1ess or sufficiently arbitrary, as one
chooses to take it. If it is used in the
old sense in which it became so familiar
in the days of the rebellion, it is, of
course, only an amusing attempt to
make an obsolete issue answer the pur-
poses of present political necessity; ii,
on the other hand, it is to be construed,
as one is at liberty to suppose that 1t is
from the context in which it Is declared
that had the sentiment been uttered
forty years ago many requests which
have gone to the enricling Of the treas
ury of Harvard would never have found
their way thither, as an implication
that Harvard College is mortgaged to
the Republican party, right or wrong,
it is high time such arrogance were re-
buked. 1t is to be supposed, however,
that in whatever sense it is spoken, it
really effects little more than to show
how deeply the arrow wounded. -Roston
Courier.
