THE TOWN RUM.

Editor Register The legal voters of
the town of Middlebury, in March meet
ing assembled, voted to lock up the town
rum and dismiss the agent, as the report
showed deficiency of between $500 and
S4OO, and yet the liquors were sold at a
large profit from cost. The purchases of
the liquors were all accounted for. but
the profits from the sales were Obliyious.
There were too many holes in that skim
mer.
Various attempts were made to account
for it, but the agent or the official who
purchased the liquor was equally dumb.
Still we understand the officials (select-
men) go on, in the face of the large legal
vote, and set the agent to sell out the al
cohol, which constitutes three-fourths of
all the liquors sold for medicine. Who
believes ten or eleven hundred dollars
worth-largely alcohol-is used for med
icine? | don't. If the officers elected at
town meetings can go on and disregard
and amend the plain votes and demands
of the taxpayers, the voters had better
vote that their votes and wishes may be
carried out, or not, by the officials. as
they please. Y.

THE OFFICES ASSIGNED.

The Vermont congressional delegation
pulled itself together in Washington last
week for a conference on the principal
federal offices in the State. Senator Ed
munds presided and all the four mem
bers were present. 1t was voted to ask
the appointment of the following: For
collector of customs at Burlington, to
succeed B. B. Smalley, G. G. Benedict,
editor of the Burlington Free Press; for
United States district attorney, Frank
Plumley of Northfield; for United States
marshal, Rollin Amsden of Windsor; for
bank examiner, Roswell Farnham of
Bradford. 1t was decided, further, that
the incumbents of those offices not now
vacant shall be permitted to hold them
four years from the time they entered
upon them that is, that they be allowed
a fCur-years tenure, no matter how long
their commissions may have to run.

HE TOWN AGENCY.

A correspondent, whose letter we pub
lish elsewhere, is unhappy because the
selectmen have not obeyed the instruc-
tions of the voters and closed up the
agency, which instructions were given.
he says. by illegal vote" But it may
illegal action on the part of its officials.
As we understand it, the selectmen do not
shut up the agency for the reason that
they cannot find that they have the pow
er legally to do it. The law seems to pro-
vide that when the county commissioner
appoints an agent in any town the select
men of such town "shall" furnish the
agent SO appointed with the necessary
stock in trade. They apparently have
no discretion about it. In other words,
the county commissioner is the 'boss" of
the whole business. If this omnipotent
official sees fit to name an agent, the Sc
1ectmen cannot refuse to supply him with
rum, whether the town likes it or not.
This being the case, our selectmen prob
ably take the wisest course in continuing
the agency.
The next time the legislature meets the
law ought most certainly to be so amend
ed as to prune the ears of the commits
sioner, deprlying him of some of his au-
tocratic powers and giving the town
something to say as to whether they will
run rum shop.

WRoNo AGAIN.

The Springfield Republican is gener-
ally successful only in displaying its
bumptiousness and ignorance when 1t
tries to enlighten its readers about Ver
mont. a conspicuous example of this
sort of thing is the following from a re-
cent issue from that omnscent journal:
According to the agricultural depart
ment reports, the number of sheep in
Vermont has fallen off in the past year
from 1888 to 3G5,770; in New Hamp-
shire from 205,000 to 94,770: in Massa-
chusetts from 62,637 to 59,505; and in
Connecticut from $4,000 to 1900. If
this thing keeps on much longer under
our fostering" wool tariff, there will be
none left at all to "send greeting" as we
were told during the last campaign, to
similar animals of the West on the occa-
sion of future high tariff victories; and
our shepherds on a thousand hills" of
whom Ben Butterfeld spoke, will be beg
ging bread in the streets.
1t is true that the number of sheep has
fallen of in the States named. The cause
of the decrease, though, was not the
tariff, but the lack of it, The sheep in
terest began to decline after the enact
ment of the tariff of 1888, imposing lower
duties on wool, and it declined still more
power and the prospect of yet lower du
ties grew. Now that Republicans are in
command once more, and sheep-men feel
reasonably sure of what they regard as
a6n 70 hot. ,,..l,
the business is reviving. Unless all signs
fail, there is to be a boom in this branch
of husbandry within two years. First
class animals are already in demand for
export, and they will soon be wanted on
the great western ranges.

DIRTY JOURNALISM,

The New York World last week printed
two letters, purportlng to come from
Rutland and to give true history of Sec
retary of War Proctor's career.
The merits of the writer of these letters
as liar fairly entitle him to seat on
that "bad eminence" where his tutor "eX-
alted sat- They bear the ear-marks of
journalistic tramp and vagabond who
used to infest Rutland and to abuse de-
cent citizens of the town and its vicinity,
ex-Gov. Proctor included. Finally he
tried to procure admission to the bar; bur,
after investigating his character, COM
mittee of the state Bar association, of
which Col Aldace F. Walker was chair
then sunk into deserved obscurity.
Now for the paper in which the letters
appeared. The World was once, under
the editorship of w. ii. Hubert, an emf
nently respectable newspaper, clean and
high-toned 1t was, however, too good
for its constituency and did not pay.
Then it passed into the hands of its
present manager, Hungarian rustler
imported from the wilds of st. Louis.
He was troubled with no principle
and hampered by nothing. He made
the World the advertising medium of all
the disreputable men and women of the
metropolis and provided reading matter
which would not weary this class. Like
a true Democrat, he went in ''for reve-
nue. only" OF late the paper has inn
proved somewhat; but these are the
methods followed in the building up of a
journal which proudly calls itself a
"great" newspaper.
Mr.. Proctor is not In need of defence at
our hands or at the hands of any one
else; but it is well that people should un-
derstand what is the character of the
sheet which prints attacks upon him and
what the standing of their probable au-
thor.

not be prevented or punished He said the
rights Of the blue label have already been
tested in the ST. Louis courts and a permanent
injunction was granted against counterfeiting
them. When q case went against the blue label
in Minnesota the union went to the legisla-

protection. The blue label has won in every

A JEALOUS COUNTESS.
She Attacks Lady Who Was With Her
Husband at q Party.

Quebec society is agitated over an encounter
that occurred an evening or so ago in the
presence OF the governor-general between two
wel-known society ladies of that city, one the
Countess de Londieres, wife of the chancellor
Of the French consulate at Quebec, and the
other sister of the attorney general of the
nent French journalist.
A Quebec dispatch to the New York Sun says:
The ladies were included in select CON pany
OF about hundred guests that we're invited by
the governor general and Lady Stanley to a
dance at the vice regal quarters at the citadel
with the admiral and officers of the North
American fleet, now here, and with the lieu
tenant governor OF the province and party.
The countess, while promenading with part
ner OF the previous dance, spied her husband
on the other side Of the ball room, having on
his arm young married lady Of this city who
is not only exceedingly prominent in Quebec's
best society but also deservedly esteemed for
her amiability of manner and propriety of con-
duct, the terrible suspicious of the countess
and the lnslnuations conveyed in q num-
Der OF anonymous letters received by
her to the contrary Notwithstanding
The countess dashed over to her husband and,
tearing him from the lady on his arm, ordered
him to come home with her at once, expostu-
iatIng angrily with him at the same time for
being with the lady in question, reminding him
that she had forbidden him to speak to her.
One rumor alleges that the countess struck the
other lady in the face with her fan and that
the dlsgraceful scene continued until mem
Der OF the vice regal staff interfered to stop it.
This is declared by friends of the lady to be an
exaggeration. The incident is the sensation Of
the day, which was heightened yesterday by
the newspaper controlled by the other lady's
husband advising that the ladies of the consul
late should be kept under the conjugal roof
where they belong, in order to avoid the repe-
tltion OF disgraceful scenes that could charita-
bly, be attributed only to excessive nervousness
Two angry-looking husbands, each claiming to
be well armed, have been looking around today
each for the other, but whether tragedy would
have resulted from their meeting may well be
doubted.
