This is the would-be expressive headline
which the high license organ used over its
Montpelier correspondence yesterday, the
prohibition~ts in the State House of Rep
reoentatives being the gentlemen who are
alleged TO have met with the uncomfortable
misfortune alluded to. A double loaded
editorial entitled THE Victory at Mont
pcier' purports to give the reason why the
aforesaid disaster happened. The crumb
winch made such satisfactory meal for our
esteemed contemporary was the killing Of
the bill allowing amendments in complaints,
m.urmutioGs or indictments under the
prohlbitury law at any stage of the proceed
iugs, rs was stated in the FREE PRESS
when the till was under discussion, the
question of license or prohibition had moth
in- to do with the case. The bill was OPP
posed on the floor Of the House by strong
supporters OF the prohibitory law as well As
by leading lawyer, and Judges outside the
walls OF the state House, a. being wrong N
principle, no matter to what crime it might
be applied That is the whole story in a
nut shell and it is all there is in it,

MiddIebury and Ferrisburgh Farmers
Organize.

The meeting Of Addison county farmers
last Thursday afternoon at Middlebury to
consider the advisability OF forming league
and becoming a member of the Stata Farm
ers league was attended by about so per
sons and considerable interest was mani
tested. w. II. Dean of Ferrlsburgh was
chosen chairman and c. W. Mason of
New Haven secretary OF the NEE ing.
The speaker was Walter b. Pierce OF
the National Farmers league. Mr.. Pierce
made an able address and fully explained
the need and objects Of the organization.
He said that the time had come when farm
ers must organize aud vote for their interests
irrespective of party lines, that they were
taxed by all parties out OF proportion to
other interests, and that it was their duty to
make an organized effort TO establish
their rights, The speaker was very earnest
and his words were met with bursts of en-
thusiasm At the close Of the address two
town leagues, Middlebury and Ferrisburgh,
were formed, The Middlehury league chose
j. T., Dewey to represent them at the State
convention held at Montpelier yesterday
and Ferrisburgh chose W. IL. Dean to rep
resent them. The attendance was not gen
eral enough to form a county organization.

have great weight in the councils at the
capital.
With regard to future legislation the con
vention recommended free text-b books, and
a State school tax as proposed by the State
superintendent.
SO far ms our report Of the meetings show
and SO far rs we can learn there was no
division of opinion among the teachers Of
the State on questions Of legislation with
respect to educational matters.
II would be difficult TO point out any un-
fairness or Inconsistency in Mr. Manns
proposition, in House bill 1874 giving tax
able female citizens a right to vote in town,
village and fire districts. A refusal to
grant this privilege is to argue that taxation
without representation is just and right
But there is one thing that will tell against
the bill. The women of Vermont as a
whole TO all appearances do not care a fig
whether they are given the right of suffrage
or not, and until they give moro positive
expression TO their desires in this
direction the Legislature is not like
ly to give the subject very seri-
ous consideration. To be sure number
Of petition, have been presented in the Leg
stature bearing on this matter but we are
told that those who have circulated these
petitions throughout tho State have found
the work rather Encouraging. One of the
I towns in the northern part of the State was
/ canyassod for signatures to a similar petit
/ ton last week, aud not a woman was found
/ within the town limits who was willing to
/ sign il. Either the women OF Vermont do
not want tie right to vote or it is an "oT''
| year in suffrage circles. for apathy prevails
nm ng them to a degree sufficient to make
the outlook for reform in this direction far
/ from encouraging.
