LIQUOR RAIDS AT BARRE.


BARRE, April 3rd.-The town grand
jurors are waging vigorous war on vio-
lators of the prohibitory liquor law, and
constables, deputy sherffs, police Off
GERS and their assistants have been
pressed into the service. Saturday after
noon one of the largest seizures ever
made here took place at the quarries, re-
quiTing two teams to carry the beer and
liquor to this city. The owners were
brought before Justice Jackman and
heavily fined. While searching at the
quarries, other officers made unsuccess-
full raids on several places here. Sun
day night officers visited several Italian
houses and, after hard fight with near
ly 80 Italians, captured a quantity of
liquor. The authorities are determined
to drive the rumsellers out of business,
and raids are likely to be made against
several local gambling dens.-Daily
Papers.
Bennington could stand just such a
cleaning, very nicely just now; and while
the Temperance people will do all they
can, we hope others will help in the
grand work. A MOTHER.

MIDwINrEK FAIR.

The Southern California Committee
Selecting q Site.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 25.--The commit
tee representing the organization OF the
southern counties of the state who are
contemplating the erection of Southern
California building at the midwinter
fair, spent all day at Golden Gate park
trying to select site for the proposed
structure. Engineer O'Shsughnessy
took them in charge and did his best to
point out the most desirable location.
They returned home this evening to re-
port progress at joint meeting which
takes place in Los Angeles tomorrow
night. Judging from expressions made
previous to their departure, they were
we'll pleased with the prospect OF getting
a good location, and with the oppor-
tunity afforded for making an exhibit
which will illustrate the special ad-
vantages of Southern California.
The committee from the northern
citrus belt have already arranged with
an architect to draw plans for their
buildings.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-In response to a
request of the managers OF the midwin'
ter exposition, Senators White and Per-
kins of California called at the depart
ment of state in Washington to enlist
the influence of that department with
the German government for the transfer
of that governments exhibit in this city
to the midwinter fair. Secretary
Gresham spoke to the German ambas
sador on the subject, and that officia
recommended to the home government

WESTERN CLASSIFICATION.
The Southern Pactfic's New Freight
Schedule Approved.

The Southern Pactfic's New Freight
Schedule Approved.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-At meeting
OF the railroad commissioners today the
new local freight schedule prepared by
the Southern Pacific company was ap-
proved. The schedule is what is known
as the western classification, and effects
about IL per cent reduction on freight
rates. The schedule is complicated
one, there being about 5000 combinations
of rates. Rates are raised on some classes
of lighter and costly freight, but lowered
on the great mass of heavy and cheap
goods. Only general merchandise will
be affected by the change. Coal, lumber,
wheat, stone. ores and wool are not en-
braced in it. Discrimination is made
in favor OF long hauls over short hauls.
1t is thought San Francisco merchants
will be benefited; it will also benefit
interior merchants ON the goods they
buy. The new schedule goes into effect
January Let next. Rate lists are being
printed for distribution among shippers,
but they will not be ready for a month.
One of the advantages of the new sys-
tenn will be that shippers will be able to
ascertain the rate on freight without
having to ask the railroad.

BELL MAY GO FREE.

Lawyers Trying to Get the Footpad
Murderer Out of Prison.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 25.-The attor-
neys for Sidney Bell, the highwayman,
now serving 60-year term in the state
prison at Folsom, have filed brief in
the supreme court which is the first
step toward securing Bells release. The
grounds taken are that the indictments
of which Bell was found guilty were
not good, having been allowed to lapse
and to drop from the calendar. This was
due to the murder charge, which
was hanging over the prisoner, on which
it was expected to secure his conviction.
The prosecution was disappointed in
this, and then the charges of robbery
were taken up and pressed. 1t is be-
lieved among lawyers that the convic-
ton of Bell on the charge of murder
would be extremely difficult, so that if
the technical point be sustained the
footpad will be at liberty in the near
future.

Grover Cleveland is to initiate him in
his victory over his own party. For the
first time in the history of the United
States senate it is sitting under the
opprobium of the people, and for the
first time that august body is subject
to the houts and jeers of all
mankind. Massachusetts has to
act quickly. No state ia more
interested in the tariff question than
she. Democracy is ruled by the south,
and by the south mean men who have
no idea of what industrial northern
cities are. Truth is mighty, but so is
ignorance. So | say we must fight out
this on the right of the majority to
