STILL At TT.

1t seems to be a very dull day in the
office of the Rutland Herald, when it
does not get out TRADE on the MONI-
TOR, or on somebody who opposes the
high license conspirators of the state.
In the issue of last Friday that paper
had a column of hostile and aggrava-
ting matter, aimed specially at the ed
itor of this paper. We imagine that
this class of reading must be ofintense
interest to the readers Of that journal.
The peculiarities Or the faults of the
editor Of this paper and the hatreds
and prejudices of the editor Of that
paper, exploited in the Herald, must
do great deal toward enlightening
and benefting the world. The Herald
has made list of inquiries and a chal-
lenge, which we have not the least OBJ
lection to answ 9ring, and are more
than willing to take up, except for
two reasons: The first that the whole
matter, so far as MONITOR readers is
concerned, is either of no special in
terest, or is already we'll under
stood. The next reason we have is
that the Herald will deny or discount
whatever we may say, and will pub
lish only a garbled or distorted ac-
count of what appears in the MoNI-
TOR. We will state in general terms
that the accusations against the Mon
TToR, the town, and the Barton Hotel
Co., which have appeared in the Her.
aid and in the Independent have been
false, in almost every particular. This
paper in a candid statement, which
hundreds of people here and else
where know to be true in every line,
has made one denial Of some of the
worst charges made; it is not neces-
sary to make another. Not an article
pertaining to the matter has ap-
peared in either paper (the Herald or
the IndependenD which has not been
incorrect in detail and in general pur-
port. The Herald says in it's last ar
ticle 1--WE want to know about these
matters, and would like to know
now." Very well. You are running
a daily paper, which ought to have
respectable standing in the state and
publish the truth. That you may get
the information for which you seem
to be in SO great pucker, we invite
Robert A. Perkins, editor of the Her.
aid, to come to this town of Barton,
that he may fully investigate for him
self the affairs of this town, the hotels,
the stores, the newspaper office and
other things in general. Then if he
finds that the MONITOR has stated
anything untruthfully, or that the AM
erican House Co. has sold or per-
mitted the sale Of rum in it's hotel, or
that the druggists in this place have
sold rum for drinking purposes, or
that the Hotel Co. has taken out any
license, or has made application for
license to sell rum, then we will not
complain if the whole matter is
published broadcast. Come up, Bro.
Perkins; we will give you the best
opportunity possible while here to get
at the facts, and then we want you
to go home and publish the naked
truth about US. Come up.

FIRE ONE SHOT FIRST.

Suggestions have been made of sew
eral plans Of procedure, in the House
of Representative with the work of
increasing the revenue producing
power of the tariff. There is a strong
feeling against a movement at pres
ent for general revision of the duties,
because of the length of time that
would be required and because of the
uncertainty respecting the Presidents
action.
The proposal is offered that the
House shall simply adopt a resolution
advancing all duties in the existing
law 25 per cent. The project has an
alluring aspect, as a quick and easy
method of increasing both protection
and revenue. 1t is, however, open to
some objections, one of which is that
most of the duties in the act are simp
ly ad valorem duties, and mere en-
largement of these would offer great
er inducements to perpetration of the
frauds which are now thought to be
frequent.
A plan more deserving of COM
mendation is being urged upon Pro-
tectionists in Congress, and it has re-
ceived the approval of some of them.
1t is to have presented and passed
brief resolution re- enacting, without
change of a word Or letter, schedule
K (the wool and woolens schedule) of
the tariff act of 1890. The argument
for this action has no little force. The
wool and wooden industries are suf-
fering from the tariff legislation of
last year more than any others in the
country. In this schedule the inter
ests of the manufac cturers and farmers
are united in manner peculiar to
this one portion of the act. The Bit
terest hostility of the Free Traders
has been, and is, directed against
these industries, and they are, there
fore, specially entitled to discriminate
ing favor from Protectionists. In it's
operation the schedule in the existing
law is flooding this country with shod-
dy and shoddy fabrics and injuring
both manufacturers and wool pro-
ducers without comforting any bene-
fit upon consumers. The high duties
upon wool and Woolens in the law of
1890 produced an annual revenue of
more than $40, 900, ,000.-N. Y. Press.

Governor O'Ferrall of Virginia rec
ommends in his message to the legis
1ature that counties where lynchings
are perpetrated to be fined for each
one, for the benefit of the public
school fund, and the cost of military
protection where lynching is threat
ened be also paid by the locality. 1t
is said that he also recommends that
the penalty for rape or attempt at
rape be made death in all cases.
