The effect Of beverage distilled from

out freely, and this they collect and drink,

easily. Within half an hour after imblb-
ing IL the drinker becomes perfectly stupid

shot into the tank to allow the

Titles, Degrees etc.

We are apt to sneer at the fondneSs of
our English cousins for prefXes or af-
fixes, but of late years our American cit
Izens have developed love of such dis.
tinctions, if such they be, in remark
able degree. No one begrudges a mill
tary title to one who earned it in actual
service. No one objects to title worth
lily given and worthily worn. But there
is reason to object when such distinc.
tions are rendered meaningless by indis-
criminate use.-St Albans Messenger.
The above agrees with the old-fash-
ioned common sense ideas of Vermont
ers in general, who are noted for their
dislike of everything with the appear
ance of sham. For the few years follow
ing the war, nearly every town and ham
let had its lieutenants, and captains, per-
haps its colonels and generals. No one
begrudged these men the fulluse of these
titles of honor, for they were earned by
an exposure of life and limb for the Ma
tion's sake. They meant something's
great deal-they were earned. A major
ity of these old soldiers are now gone,
but in their place, for every one of the
departed, there seems to be many an
other with titles higher, and much finer
sounding than theirs. These are carried
by those whose fitness for military title
seems to consist of prominence or pop
ularity; men whose principal military
experience consists in pulling on pair
of gold embroidered trousers, with coat
and hat to match. Active militia officers
and army officers are welcome to these
titles; discipline and expediency de-
mand their use; their holders too, are
ready at any time for service. We refer
to the other, and larger portion, to whose
numbers, every year, hundreds are added
by every incoming governor of every
State and by numerous organizations.
No practical service is rendered for these
titles, which rightfully belong to those
who have held or do hold, themselves in
readiness for every call from State or Ma
ton.
This indiscriminate passing around of
meaningless but high sounding titles, no
matter whether military, collegiate or
otherwise, seems to be gaining attention
from several quarters of the State. The
righteousness of the practice is appar-
ent at moments thought.
The bestOwal broadcast, of honors and
degrees, by colleges at recent COM
mencements, is responsible for this pres
ent anti-title talk. The same principle
applies whether in the case of military
title or an honorary title from college.
A title or degree honestly and worthily
won is high honor; otherwise it expos,
es it's wearer to we'll earned ridicule

Williamstown, Mass, voted for license
last spring, after twenty years of no IL
ceDse. According to the Berkshire Sun
day Democrat, the experiment is not
proving a success; ION the contrary it is
causing much dissatisfaction among
those who before advocated the change.
Every night the streets are lined, as it
were, with drunken men, and ladies fear
to walk them after dark, as they are not
lighted, are lonely and without police
protection. Only few nights ago a
young lady prominent in town, had oc.
casion to pass along Cole avenue after
dark, and she had gone but short dis
tance when she encountered man lying
across the sidewalk so drunk that ne was
unconscious. Such occurrences are seen
every night and they are the means of
disgusting even those who before
thought that the license system would
be an improvement over the oh way.

Our Industrial Situation.

Our foreign trade for the eleven
months ending May 3lst, shows that
exports have fallen off $l55, $50, 1897,
while the value of imports show an in
crease for the same period of S73, ,439, 757.
These figures must show, even to the
most casual reader, the extremely un-
healthy condition of our industrial af-
fairs. 1t is true that business is on the
revival. 1t could not be otherwise, after
the removal of the uncertainty that con.
tinued as long as the Democratic party
was dominant. Our markets, with COM
paratively little supplied them for the
two years of terrible depression, were
empty, when Congress adjourned. At
that moment, knowing with what to con-
tend in the future, business started up
and has continued to improve. Imports
are pouring in at an unprecedented rate,
but with the knowledge of the tariff con-
ditions and that they can be no worse,
but that in the near future will be re-
stored to their former condition by the
victory-flushed Republicans, our man.
ufacturers are enabled to see their way
clear to do their part in supplying the
demands of our own markets, and are at
work with a rush. 1t isn't their nature
to stand still.
A general good feeling exists and
wages are rising in many quarters. New
ertheless, there are millions who are vet
working at the low wage scale which was
the order when we were threatened with
breaking of every barrier against for
eign productions, and while improve.
ment will continue, business can never
be healthy as long as these heavy impor.
taUions continue.
1t must be remembered that German
ism and not Clevelandism controlled
every move in framing the present tar
if, and that the Democratic promises of
free trade were not half fulfilled. With
the great pouring in of imports under
the present conditions, it is appalling to
think what might have confronted us
had not German, instead of Cleveland
and his free trade ideas, been victorious;
but GOrmanism, but half protective, is
bad enough.
Democratic journals are pointing to
the present tariff as the cause of the i'm
provements, but the above figures are
sufficient to show the absurdity of these
claims. The figures prove that prosper
ity has come in spite of, and not owing
to, the German tariff. For no country
can be truly prosperous while the bal.
ance of trade is against it;while the prof
its and wages arising from home con-
sumed articles are sent abroad instead of
remaining at home for the prosperity of
working man and manufacturer alike.

Rejoicing at Gray Gables.

The President is, just now, one of the
happiest persons living, nor because he
has made sure of the longed for re-nom-
ination for third term, not because the
depleted condition of the treasury shows
any signs of Improvement, not because a
new opportunity has presented itself of
showing his too great love for the Brit
ish Isles and people, nor because the
prospects of his party are brighter, but
because of another addition to his charm
ing family circle.
1t is an open secret that, could the
Presidents wishes have been of sufficient
weight, the Youngster would have been
boy, inasmuCh as the two previous ar
rivals were of the gentler sex, but no
matter how great his power over obsti-
nate Congressman, patronage could be of
no avail in this case, and, instead of
boy, it is girl, This is the third child
to be born into President Cleveland's
family and all of them are girls. Ruth
is foul years old and Esther two. The
happy event occurred at 4:3O p. M, Sun
day, and both mother and child are do
ing as well as can be expected.
No matter how greatly the country
may disagree with the Presidents tariff,
foreign and financial policies, friend and
political foe alike rejoice with him and
Mrs. Cleveland in their domestic happi-
nesseS.

The Change in our Revenue System,

President Cleveland came into Office in
March, 1898, with cash balance in the
treasury of 1924, 12S, 0SS, and the interest
bearing debt was S5S5, 100000 By bOr-
rowing Sl17, 100000 by the two issues of
per cent bonds and S32, 100000 on per
cents, the government has raised its inter-
est t-bearing debt to about S74S 900, 900, and
by refusing to pay debts overdue has
raised its cash balance to Sl93, $50, j92.
But all these operations do not serve to
hide the fact that the change in the rev.
enue system, to which the party in pow
er sacrifices everything else, has left the
government without revenue enough
to meet its necessary expenses. 1t is so
often said that the Republican adminfs-
tration left the government in difficulty,
notwithstanding the cash balance on
hand, as above stated, that it may be
we'll to recur to the fact that the actual
revenue fell only $1,000, 600 below the ex-
penditures for the eight months of the
fiscal year preceding the Inauguration of
President Cleveland. Under the old
laws there had been for years no Difficult
ty, and would have been none had thos Q
laws remained in force without the threat
of change of policy.

James r. Garfield was nominated by
the Republicans for the Ohio State SEN
ate at Warren last week. He is a son of
the late President Garfield. and he re-
ceived his first political honors on the
18th anniversary of the day on which
Guiteau shot his father. 1t is now in
order for the opposition papers to begin
filings at young Garfield to the eff
feet that he is 'his fathers son." Rob-
ert T. Lincoln has been given to under
stand that in the eyes of Democrat it
amounts almost to a crime to be the son
of great man, and that such sons are
debarred from seeking an outlet for their
political aspirations. AS Lincolu's son
has been served, so will be Garfelds S
son, should he continue in his upward
career.
