done this straight along, day after day,

will be noted that one Of the purchases
described above was made Sunday
and week after week and year after

hocus poous and beating the devil
around the stump in the business, but
nothing has interfered with the regu-
lar and prompt service of rum to guests
of the Van Ness house, as guests of
hotels are served everywhere.
1t appears that If the prohibitory

enforced Mr.. Howe would have some

The whole matter is another illustra-
ton of what can be done in the way of

A GOVERNOR,S PREDICAMENT.

Mr.. b. g. Howe, of st. Johnsbury,
Vermont, Is now in jail because he is
the owner of hotel where rum has been
sold, contrary to the prohibitory law
which exists and Is more or less en-
forced in Vermont. The governor of
Vermont was asked to pardon him with
as much fervency as was displayed by
the admirers Of Maria Barberi in their
attack on the governor of New York.
But the governor of Vermont is a man
Of firnness, and he has refused to
pardon Mr.. Howe. When it was dis
covered that he would not pardon Mr..
Howe it was charged that he was as
guilty of violating the law as MIR. Howe
was, because he owned hotel at Bur
lington where rum was sold. Since this
charge was openly made there has
been a stir throughout the State and
much talk The chief result of the stir
and the talk has been to make it pref
ty plain that the governor has really
been violating the law which he has up
held with such Spartan firmness in the
case of Mr. Howe. The Rutland Her
aid says it has in it's office three bottles
containing whisky and one of lager
beer which were bought in the Van
Ness house at Burlington, the COVER
nor's hotel, within a week and in the
ordinary way. 1t also has bottle of
whisky bought at the drug store in
another building owned by Governor
Woodbury. at Burlington. Letters are
produced from three citizens, vouched
for as reputable, whose names are held
back, who give details how within a
week they put up at the Van Ness
house and ordered whisky or beer or
both sent to their rooms at various
| hours of the day and night, and had
no difficulty in obtaining the liquor
These witnesses, says the Herald, are
be known to the governor personally:
| ard their statements are ready for his
inspection whenever he chooses to ac-
| cept the privilege. The Herald says
further: 1t is perfectly true, as the
Herald understands, that the Van Ness
| house has no bar. The law is against
selling rum. And the Van Ness house
has sold rum, straight along. Apart
from a bar it has sold it precisely as
hotels all over the world sell it; sent it
to guests at their rooms and served it

LESS pOLIYIOs, MORE BUSINESS.


The short campaign idea continues To
find favor Judge Case, of Wyoming,
a member of the National Republican
committee is one of those who believe in
short campaigns. He points out that
the reasons for long campaigns in the
history of the country no longer exist,
There is not o State but what Is ira
versed by railroads and telegraph lines,
The exchange of views of the people
from the extreme limits of the coun-
try Is made in a few hours. The
press keeps the people fully informed.
Another reason which is most i'm
portant is the condition of the business
of the country. Business is improving,
Great enterprises are being examined
and undertaken. Political agitation
makes the business world anxious and
uncertain. A short political campaign
will reduce this anxiety and uncertain
ty to the minimum. The best and high
est interests of capital and labor at
this time is the absence of political ex-
element.
Less politics and more business is a
good platform. Grover Cleveland and
free silver can be disposed. of as eff
fectively in two months as in six.

a PLAN TO BOOM A SH1TE.

If the fame of California doesn't
greatly grow it will not be the fault
of the Millions club of San Fran
cisco, which has made a very elaborate
and comprehensive plan for making
the State better known and appreciated,
The leading provisions of the plan are
all over the State and that the sym
pathy and support of county and city
governing boards be enlisted; that a
permanent eastern headquarters be es-
tablished at Chicago, with an exhibit of
California products and a lecturer to
instruct concerning the resources and
attractions of the State; that travelling
lecturers with illustrated stereopticon
lectures be sent through the eastern
States; that market for California
products in the East be created by mis-
sionary work among dealers; that a
Carnival season" be permanently es-
tablshed in California, the time to be
so parcelled out among the various cit
les as to maintain a continuous series
Of festivals, and that eastern interest
in them be promoted by enlisting the
clubs, by organizing excursions, and by
various other methods; that a system
attic organization of excursion clubs be
undertaken, whose object shall be to
practise Notwithstanding in Califor-
mia in bodies and make visits to the
numerous natural wonders in which the
State abounds; that the superior excel
lences Of the summer climate be made
known, and that all persons induced
to visit the State shall have special per-
sonal attention from representatives of
the Half-million club, shall be guaran-
teed low rates at hotels, and shall be
| made comfortable in all ways.
This Is certainly a fine plan. If it
is carried out California will be likely
to have a boom, and she will deserve
| it. Public spirit of the kind displayed
by the Half-million club is rare.
