Jas. Gilmer Speed has an article in
the September month American Re
view in which he takes the ground
that the trolley is threatening the
progress of the good roads move
ment 1t is true, as he says. that the
Introduction of steam railroads delay
ed the efforts of the road builders of a
former generation, but there was not
anywhere the reason for it that now
exists with the appearance of the cleo
tric road, which is certain wherever. as
in Vermont, a plenty of water power
is available at very tritiing cost, to be
come the well nigh universal means of
travel and transportation from town tC
town. 1t certainly is not wise econ
omy. with this prospect before us, to
make large expenditures for these main
highways, because it is altogether
likley that it would be money thrown
away. The situation has changed en-
tirely in this respect within the past
few years. What seemed Indispensable
to reasonable progress only a short !
time ago, is being left behind by the |
progress of the age. Mr.. Speed argues
that the extension of trolley |
will make good common roads |
all the more important and necessary. |
for the trolleys will quicken the life |
and the movement of the country and
make any slow and laborious move
ments over bad roads moe irksome
than before This is true, of course,
as regards all except the main tho

kept in fair condition: but it is time
to hesitate before making more large
)utlays on them for permanent i'm

much better two or three years hence
what policy 10 pursue with regard to
them.

/ The liquor dealers of the state are
reported to be organizing TO make a
contest on the validity and constitu-
tionality of the prohibitory law and
especially some of the amendments
that have been piled on it of recent
years. The plan is to make Il test case
of a seizure of liquors and it is expect
ed that in some form it will be
brought before the next term of the
Rutland county court which begins
next week. and that NJ. H. Alexander
OF Burlington and Judge F. G.. Butler
and L. W. Mallory of Rutland will
appear among the lawyers for the com
pination. A fund TO carry on the fight
is said To have been raised among the
Rutland dealers and those of other
large places supplemented by city
wholesalers and by the American and
New York State Liquor Dealers asso-
Citations. The constitutionality of pro
hibition itself has been several times
upheld by the federal supreme court.
Thai is, the court has held it to be
within the police powers of the states
to enact such legislation; but there is
little doubt that in the vain race to
make the law practicable and enforce
able good many provisions have been
hitched on to it that can never stand |
before any court of final review, for
they involve stretches of power and
violation of individual rights that are
simply a fiat contradiction of the prin- |
ciple of free government. And the
lawyers will also find ample ground to
argue that in the multiplicity of sec
lions and provisions it has become
very difficult to construe what is and
Whit is not law.

The White River Junction Land
mark seems to be a good deal stirred
up over the case of the West Wards
boro farmer who was fined $50 for Civ
ing his hired man cider in the hay
field. 1t says:
1t looks very queer to people out
side of Vermont, and to great many
inside of the state that an act of old
time hospitality or kindness should by
statute be ranked as a penal offence.
The law gives every mean. spiteful
man in rural community a good OPP
portunity to vent his spite on others
with whom he may have had a dis
agreement.s There are very few farm
ers who do not make cider and they
must now convert it into vinegar or
throw away any surplus beyond what
may be used in their own families. In
the eye of the law, the giving away of
glass of cider to a guest at the din
ner table is a crime-on the same par
with .robbing a hen roost or stealing a
sheep. The principle of prohibition
we do not condemn. 1t is the unequal,
one sided enforcement of the statute
we complain of, and the chance it
gives any sneak or spy in a farming
neighborhood to have better men than
himself fined or sent to the workhouse
for the exercise of hospitality.
This is curious reasoning. but about
on par with most of that of Yer
mont prohibitionists, who invariably
squeal when required to toe the mark
of their own law. If it is crime to
sell lager beer for beverage, it is
equally crime to sell cider. And if
it is crime to sell either. it is also
one. of less degree, 10 give it away.
Either stand squareIy by the law as it
is or replace it by more rational legis-
.afiop

a statemen comes from Chicago
with the endorsement, as alleged, of
Debs and the other leaders of the great
Chicago strike of last year, that may
relieve Gov. Altgeld of some of the
odium he has borne in connection with
the affair. The story is that the strike
and boycott were advised by the then
mayor, John p. Hopkins, who had
once been in the employ of the Pullt
man company and had entertained a
grudgc against it. and that Altgeld
was misled by Hopkins on whom he
relied for reports as to the condition of
affairs in the city, during the days he
was telcgraphiIg Cleveland protesting
against the employment of federal
troops on the claim that the state and
city authority were amply able to cope
with the difficulty. 1t is claimed that
Altgeld was sleepless in his vigilance
and ready to forward troops to the full
strength Of the states national guard
at any moment. wherever the MAYOR
should say that they were needed. and
that he never was Informed of the
gravity of the affair until the federal
troops arrived on the scene.

B. G. Howe, the wealthy st. Johns
bury landlord, completed his GO day
sentence for liquor selling and was re-
leased from the House of Correction
at Rutland Monday. And the climax
of absurdity is reached at St Johns
bury, always an overwhelmingly pro
hibitory town. by it's votes, with talk
of sending him to the legislature Mr..
Howe says:
Something will probably be done at
once about our liquor laws. Half the
hotel keepers of the state will be where
| am, or the hotels must all close up if
the present law is enforced.
There will be more prospect of a
change when all the landlords get to
feeling as Mr. Howe does. The trouble
in the past has been that a large part
of them have stood by the prohibitory
law because it meant practically free
rum for them. They could sell all
they wanted to without paying any
thing for the privilege.

Tho Naval Department has adopted
the Lee magazine rifle, which is re-
gardcd by experts as a far better one
than the sKrag Jorgenson gun with
which the army was equipped about a
year ago, and is probably the best
small arm in existence. 1t is entirely
weapon of American origin, with a
calibre of only .236 of an inch, or
about the diameter of an ordinary lead
pencil, Il length of only y inches, and
a weight complete of but eight pounds.
This weapon throws its conical bull
let with a velocity of from 24OO to
26OO feet per second, and 60 inches OF
oak boards have been pierced by this
tiny but terrible proiectile. Its mech
anism is simpler and more durable, its
range greater, its accuracy more I'M
failing, than that of any foreign arm
of similar type.

Acting Attorney General Whitney
has made public two reports, from the
U. S. District attorney and the mar
shall, investigating the recent Bannock
troubles in Wyoming. The former
says:
I have no doubt whatever that the
killing of the Indian, Tae Me Ga On,
ON Or about the 18th of July, was an
atrocious outrage, and cold blooded
mtlrder and that it was a murder per-
petrated on the part of Constable Man
ming and his deputies, in pursuance of
a scheme and conspiracy on their part
to prevent the Indians from exercising
a right which is in my opinion very
clearly guaranteed to them by the
treaty.
The marshal says that the reports of
wholesale slaughter of game by the
Indians were Every much exaggerat
ed, - and he adds
The whole affair was premeditated
and prearranged plan to kill some In
dians and thus stir up sufficient
trouble to subsequently get United
States troops into the region and ulti
mately have the Indians shut out from
Jackson's Hole.
And this is the way good many of
our Indian wars have originated.

Mr.. Balfour, in his statement before
the British Commons last week not
only said that he had no hope person
ally of an agreement for bimetallsm
from another international conference,
but that the new ministry would not
at present favor the calling of one, not
believing that il could result in any
good. The dispatches say that Ger
many accepts this as conclusive and
will not issue call for such confer
nee. This may well ba doubted, and
if true. cannot fail to be great
to all men who desire
to see the worlds currency systems set
tied on a safe basis that will admit of
sound and healthy business develop
ment, such as has not existed since the
decentralization movement began IN
1878. This action of the British min
istry is strange enough after all the
Balfour and the other Tory
leaders have made on the subject, and
is probably only to he explained by Il
hope, induced by the antics of
the free silver men in this country,
that the United States will undertake
free coinage independently and so re
Iieyc the monetary pressure in the rest
Of the world by practically exchanging
our gold for their silver. And yet this |
is not the view that business interests ir |
England are taking of the situation, |
As is proved by the renewed demand |

monetary future than they have done
before for several years. And it is as

must come to bimetalism.
