Here comes spoke thrown off in the
frenzy of the whirling:
In some towns every single man Of any
public consequence is rumseller, and the
fact can be easily shown. And the prohi-
bitionists brethren do not dare ask for par
ticulars."
By" every single man." does the con-
temporary mean every unmarried man,
or is "single simply redundancy
evolved in the heat of composition?
Reduced to plain, cold English, does
the Herald mean "every man of any
public consequence And, again,
what does he mean by consequence"
and what by "public consequence ~?
Consequence is something that follows,
an effect, a result, an issue, an event.
Possibly the writer intended to convey
the idea of Importance, moment, weight,
mental or moral, not avoirdupois, in
public affairs. We may not be classed
among the prohibitionist BRETHREN"
but we will nevertheless, in the public
interest, put in request for "particu-
lars" The Herald editor is either an
encyclopedia of valuable information
on every phase of the liquor question
in Vermont, or he "knows more things
that amt SO" than "any single man of
public consequence " in the state. Here
is his coveted opportunity to "show
up" Embrace it, brother.
