twenty-five out of 80 New York Sem
ators say that they will vote to have the
Lexow investigation continued and its
scope broadened to expose the corrup.
ton in all of New York's municipal de-
partments. The announcement is calcu-

One of the most potent reasons why
the prohibitOry law is not enforced. or
enforced like the statutes for other
crimes, is suggested by the following
despatch from Morrisville, under date of
December 31st. When prominent men
and officials do as stated, what will not
the lesser fry attempt? The despatch
says: 1.-The six cases of goods marked
pure maple syrup consigned to j.
Warren's place by the express delivery
on Christmas morning, were found to
contain total of Il gallons of extra
choice whiskey, which has been confs-
Gated and turned into the town agency.
In the inside of each case appeared the
name of the party to whom they were to
go. j. Warren had one case; A. Colby,
two; Orlo Cady, one; George Randall
and w. II. Jones of Garfield one case
each. Some of these deny all knowl-
edge concerning the matter. One of the
parties. Orlo Cady, has acted as Police
Court Justice for several years"

We hear a great deal of the British
civil service efficiency, and when any one
suggests that in the transplantng of the
English idea to American soil, we do no.
thing but begin an office-holding aristoc-
racy, the Mugwump press Immediately
repudiates it. The way it actually works,
however, is shown in a current news
item, as follows "The oldest man in the
London postoffice has been in service
forty five years. There are large mum.
Der of postmen whose fathers were en-
gagged in the same service before them
and whose sons will probably take their
places. The position of river postman
has been in one family for several gener-
ations. The grandfather of the present
incumbent received from George II. a
silver badge weighing eighteen ounces,
and his son was presented with new
boat by William ". 1t is the business
of the river postman to deliver letters to
and collect letters from the shipping in
the Thames. The British postman en-
ployes are subject to police duty and may
be at any time sworn in as special con-
stables to assist in maintaining order"
All of which may be very fine from the
civil service standpoint, but apply it to
Bennington, or Rutland, or any other
place and how does it strike you, reader?
Is it American?
