How the Prohibltory Law of This
State is Enforced.

Some interesting figures regarding the
enforcement of the prOhibitOry liquor
law in Vermont are being brought to
light.
Section 4476 of the statutes says
THE payment of the U. S. special tax as
a liquor seller shall be held to. be prima
facie evidence that the person paying the
same is common seller, and the prem
ises so kept by him are common nuis-
ances."
The number of these stamps issued to
Vermonters is 434, distributed by cOun-
ties as follows: Chittenden 101, Frank
lin 81, Washington 81, Rutland AZ, Ben
nington 33, Windham 33, Addison 81,
Windsor 27, Lamoille 10, Caledonia II,
Orleans II, Orange 5, Essex 4, Grand
Isle /,
This gives the following proportions
of inhabitants to stamp in each conn
ty: Chittenden $780, Franklin $50, Wash
ington $50, Bennington 6lq, 'Lamoille
675, Addison 71S, Windham 804, Rutland
965 Windsor 1l75, Caledonia 1878, Or
leans 2OO9, Essex 2377, Grand Isle 9S43,
Grange 1915. ~
more than half the number of stamps
issued in the State. They are:
Burlington 20, Rutland 20. Barre 26,
st. Albans "a, Bennington 10, Montpel-
ier II, Colchester IA, Rockingham II,
BrattlebOro 10, Middlebury 10.
In these towns the number of inhabi-
tants to stamp are, Burlington POS,
Barre 223, Montpelier 244, Middlebury
279, st. Aibans 1923. Bennington 1856, Col
chester 367, Rockingham 3S1, Rutland
405, Brattleboro CSC.
OF course it is idle to suppose that
even like reasonable proportion Of
these stamps are held by the town lin
uor agents, because many Of the towns
have no agents at all.

J. w. TITcoMB ON TRIAL.
First Judicious Acts in the Sensa
tionaI Liquor Law.

The trial of John w. Titcomb, of st.
Johnsbury, for violating the prohibitory
law was begun in the county court here
yesterday forenoon.
Mr.. Titcomb and G. c. Warren, of
Waterbury, were indicted by the last
grand jury for giving away liquor at the
time of the visit at the Roxbury fish
hatchery of the members of the legisla-
ture Oct. "a, 1894. ...
Mr.: Titcomb's lawyers are ex-Gov.
VIM. p. Dillingham;, of Waterbury, and
Hon. Wm. A. Lord, of Montpelier. The
State is represented by States Attorney,
H. S. Stanton, John H. Senter, of Mont
pelier, and J. C. Lamson, of Cabot.
For the respondent Mr.. Lord made
motion to continue the case on the
ground that au editorial in Montpelier
paper Oct. 6. tended to predjudice the
jury against the respondent. Judge
Thompson denied the motion.
The jury was then impanelled.
Mr.. Warren's trial will probably fol-
low this case.

Now with the movement in favor of
the abolition of the zone term rule" as
applied to the gOvernorship and the
members of the legislature the question
arises as to whether this reform should
extend to the governors staff. 1t is GER
tainly to be hoped that it will not. With
big assortment of "COls" ground out
every two years, there is no cheaper way
of flattering the vanity and satisfying the
ambitions of hosts of our statesmen.
Even though these "Cols." render no
practical service in exchange for what in
some circumstances is an honorable title,
yet it costs the State nothing. And, in
these piping times of peace, they can
usually be depended upon to uphold the
dignity of their paper title in degree
equal to one to whom asimilar title be-
longs by virtue of training and services.
1t issomething as the Montpelier Watch
man says:
The production of colonels is leading
Vermont industry, in which the State
has recently become a competitor of
other States Sin the markets of the
world" This question has bearing, al
so, upon another industry, the produc-
tion of military clothing and equipments
If the governor is to have re, election,
the logical inference would be that the
colonies, domestic and foreign, would
have a appointment The consequen-
ces might be more disastrous to embroid-
cred politics in Vermont than was the
passage of the perfidious and dishonor
able tariff to the National industries.
The crop of colonies would be cut down
80 per cent, and the business of the mill.

Juvenile Fishermen Are In Danger OF
Arrest
Much interest is being manifested at
the present time by the juvenile lzaak
Waltons Of the West End in the fnny
denizshs of Westake. This interest may
cause some of them good deal of trouble
in the long run, however. and special
policeman is on the lookout for several Of
the lads. who are he claims, poachers.
The pretty sheet of water known as
West lake was at one time stocked gem
erously with German carp and the Law
prohibits angling for these palatable fish
during the present time. slight excep-
tiUn to the rule has been made in favor OF
the youngsters that inhabit the vicinity
OF the park, and every day sees mum Der
of amateur fishermen perched on the wa
ter's edge endeavoring to secure some OF
the carp. Worms are prohi Dited. but the
special officer at the boat house permits
the youthful anglers to use dough as bait.
Yesterday afternoon several four pound
ers were captured by two of the lads, and
although tho officer was not present he
is morally certain that there must have
peen some particularly toothsome worms
figuring in the affair. For this reason
he is DESTROYS to meet the young actors
in the eXcitement and swears to place
them in custody. But one of them is
known, and he. it is said, is Fred En-
trekin of Temple street.
