The River as a Sewer,

A special meeting of the Village Trus-
tees is called for next Thursday evening,
to provide measures for removing sewer
connections with the river.
1t is to be hoped that efficient means
will be devised for ridding the commun
ity of this nuisance. From one end of
the village to the other runs this stream,
or its branches, each side lined with
mills, residences, barns, outhouses, etc.
The refuse matter from all these is
thrown directly into this stream. The
result is foul, poisonous and disease
breeding atmosphere, especially notice
able, obnoxious and dangerous as the
water becomes lower and the weather
warmer. At times the stencil is almost
unbearable. The river during the sum-
mer months is particularly low, too low
to carry off the refuse matter thrown in.
to the water. The stones in the bed of
the stream during these months are cov-
cred with a thick coating of slime-rot.
ting animal and vegetable matter. Dur
ing portions of the day and evening,
parts of the river bed are almost dry.
The Odor at such times are often of a
strength that drives residents of the vi
cinitv either within doors or to some
greater distance from the source of the
evil. To say nothing of the temporary
discomforts of such a condition, the un-
healthy effect of this disease breeding
atmosphere upon those who must
breathe it day after day should compel a
prompt discontinuance of the practice of
making general sewer of this stream.
Along its banks, or of those of the
streams and fumes directly emptying in
to it are, within the village limits, twen-
ty factory buildings, with force of
more than 1900 people, nearly one. half
the population of Bennington village,
working therein for more than ten hours
day. The closets of these buildings
empty directly or indirectly into this
stream, with its water too low to carry
off the refuse matter. And upon the
sides and the bed itgathers.
We have a sewer system here to carry
out of harms way all this refuse matter.
Into these sewers this should be carried.

Here In Bennington,

Our readers are given in another col
umn the statements of leading local
druggists IN regard to matter which is
of great importance to the health of this
community. These gentlemen, who are
all shrewd and experienced business
men, publicly testify from their own
personal knowledge that the sales of
Hoods Sarsaparilla are larger than those
of any other blood purifier. Druggists
all over the country say the same thing.
This testimony, together with an une-
qualled record of cures, is the most con.
vincing evidence that could be produced
of the peculiar merit of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. 1t shows that the people here and
elsewhere have found that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is an honest medicine which will
cure disease when all others fail and will
keep them in good health by giving them
rich, pure and healthy blood. 1t is graf.
flying to notice the growing success of
an article of genuine merit.

against recent insolvent firm, Wallace,

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t would seem to the
casual observer that a necessity existed
in our village for police protection, es-
pecially evenings. The village bars are
all in full blast and it is frequently the
case that some of our citizens become
sur-charged with benzine to the extent
that they are hilarious, boisterous, in
sulting and pugnacious, even pummel-
ling ladies they meet alone Oh the streets,
as was the case last Saturday evening.
1t would seem that a policeman with the
authority to make an arrest, without
first calling a meeting of the Committee
on Police, of the Board of Trustees, and
getting its consent to do so, as is the
case now,we understand, is almost a nec-
essity.

CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Editor Of the Banner: DEAH
SIR: In your reference to the house OF
Mrs. E. II. Swift in the BANNER of last
week, notice one or two errors which
l think it may be well to correct. The
house was purchased by Maj. Aaron
Robinson, son of Gov. Moses Robinson,
and father of the present owner, in 1893,
since which time it has been occupied by
this same family, and in these one hun
dred and two years has never been

Train RObbinn.

The most absurd of expedients for
raising the wind to which criminals re-
sort is that of train robbing. The re-
cent death of Rube Smith, the Alabama
highwayman, in the Ohio penitentiary,
shows again the folly of the business.
1t is very difficult for train robber to
cover his tracks. He must work in
company and consequently his secrets
must be shared. In escaping from the
scene of his crime he is bound to at
tract more or less attention. All rail-
road md express companies have plenty
of money with which to employ the
most expert detective talent and to
keep them at the work of detection for
years, if necessary. The rule among
these companies has been established
that no compromises will ever be made
COR the return of the valuables stolen.
Quite number of train robbers have
acquired distinction for their nerve
displayed in ''holding up trains, but
every one of them has been killed or
sent to the penitentiary for practically
life term. At the same time very
little money has ever been gained by
| the robbers. Rube Smith and his gang,
despite their daring exploits, did not
in the whole course of their career
! succeed in getting as much as $4,000,
if anything was ever demonstrated by
practical experience it is that train
robbing does not pay.-Commercial-

Free Silver.

In an able article upon the free
silver craze that is now sweeping
over the country, the Philadelphia
Times we'll, truly and timely says:
"These specu' tors and demagogues
want a silver currency worth half
the present money standard and
they appeal to people in debt by
telling them that they can pay
their obligations with fifty cents on
the dollar. They would thus initiate
prices, it is trne, but it would re-
quire two dollars to buy one dol
lars worth Of anything that
farmer or laboring man consumed,
while no one supposes that the
wages would be doubled under such
a standard. In addition. it would
destroy the credit of the United
States throughout the entire civil
lied world, and the billions OF money
employed for the Development OF
this country, obtained at low rates
of interest from the Old World,
would be withdrawn, and we should
be left in utter helplessness because
we had deliberately dishonored our
selves and destroyed our credit.
1T is not question that affects
the rich alone. On the contrary, 1t
will very generally affect the work.
iEg classes more than any other
condition of life. They would have
10 pay double for everything they
consume, and they could not nope
even under the most favorable CIR
,mmstapces to command double
prices for their labor or their pro-
ducts. 1t is sheer speculation ano
aemagogism that demand silver

est citizen, and especially every
man who lives by his labor shoule

charlatan and declare for homes

A False Idea About Money!.

"When YOU reduce the volume OF

Coins Financial School.
AS the above item has been 60
ing the grand rounds OF the silver
bug press we stop just long enough 10
punctlre it and let the wind out OF IL.
If the value of property as expressed
ia dollars is reduced as the volume OF
primary money is reduced, the converse
of the nroposition must be true, that
as YOU increase the volume OF primary
money, you likewise increase the value
Of property as expressed in dollars.
Then, how is it that the value OF prop
ertv in this country, as expressed 10
dollars. has increased at more than
Ave times the ratio Of the increase OF
primary money!. How is it that IN
France, which has two and half times
the per capita circulation OF England
that the prices of the great staples are
approximately the same? Right here'
let us say, is the error which all the
s;lverites seem to fall into, and which
consequently befogs all their attempts
to nationally handle the money ques-
i tion. Money is not the basis of valne,
! and never was; it is only measure OF
! value which exists in cotton, wheat,
wool, iron, lands. silver, copper and
thousand other things which ADMINS
ter to the wants of man. Money Is Nc
more the basis of value than the yarC
stick is the basis of cloth or a poune
weight is the basis of sugar. The
value of any commodity rests upon III
utility and is controlled by the amour
/ of Ia Dor it takes to produce it. ih'
credits of a country are based upon TN
property of country. The deots OF
country are paid in its commodities
the products of the soil and the handl
craft Of it's people. Money IS tn
measure of the value of these product
and is convenience for their lntei
