S. d. Allen of Barre is in hot water, be-
cause, as one of the selectmen of the town,
he furnished ale from the town agency to
firemen after a hard fire. When the bill of
expenses came out in the town report ques-
tions arose, and Mr., Allen replies in a let
ter to the Leader in which he says that the
town has always furnished liquor in the
same way and as far as he "can learn
''all other towns do the same thing. 1t
is evident that Mr.. Aliens "learning' is
very limited. The case is one that ought
to be thoroughly ventilated. 1t looks like
a violation of the prohibitory law.

CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM,

THE SECOND LECTURE AT GLOVER'S
 HALL, SANDY HOOK, GIVEN BY REV W.
 T, GILBERT.
 "Christian socialism was the theme of Rev w. T. Gilbert's lecture at Glover's hall at the Hook on Tuesday night. In opening Rev MT Gilbert first referred to the theories of socialism, more precise and harmonious regulation of society. He referred to the theories of Plato, to Moore's Ethiopia, to the ideas of Fourier and Zinzindorf, .t0 practical attempts by the Shakers and others and to the more recent theory of Marx. He also dwelt on some of the national and practical difficulties involved in these theories. He took the ground that Chris tianity is the only effectual solvent of social problems, and the only basis of true social order and economic welfare. The third lecture in the series will be given Wednesday night on "The labor question:"
