Business Men in Politics.

Any business man who attempts to
run his business as Congress runs the
affairs of the United States will very
speedily find himself an utterly hope
less bankrupt, without credit and with
out the means of getting it.
Politicians and statesmen as general
rule are not business men or yersed in
business affairs. We need good lawyers.
but not those who are notorious for
mere preponderance of language that is
exceeded in quantity only by that of
the professional politician. The result
is not conducive to the best interests of
the country.
If We are to Judge from the Disgrace
ful and diIatory tactics of the New York
State Legislature, a lack of legislative
business wisdom Is not confined to Con-
gress. State and national affairs need
as much careful attention as is given to
the management of prosperous busi-
ness. There should lie due considera-
ton and discussion upon important and
Welghty topics, but there is no occasion
to waste valuable time and money in
useless discussions or wind bag oratory.
Such is Of no earthly use. 1t convinces
nobody; 1t changes TO votes.
Upon important national events the
minds of statesmen are agreed either
for or against the best interests of the
country. Why not, then, at once get
down to the actual business in hand, in
stead Of waiting weeks or months, vast
ing the money of the people and the
time Of their representatives, who
would often serve the country far bet
ter by remaining at home?
The representatives of the Fifty
Fourth Congress have already been ell
ected. We are not aware exactly how
many business men there are among its
members, but we do hope that there
are many who will endcavor to impress
upon their fellow legislators the desir-
abulty, the necessity, of strict after
ton to business, of prompt adjourn
ment Let rs see for once i. it be not
possible To have a busiLesslike Cor
gress.-ENyhange.

LOUISE ROBERTS.
South Carolina and the Colored
Vote.

The South Carolina Constitutional
Convention assembled at Columbia on
Sept. 10. Its one chief object, frankly
avowed, has been to devise some plan
voters of the State. The white people
in South Carolina are in a minority
which in their judgment imperils their
continued supremacy. 1t remains to be
vent that will not be declared contrary
to the national constitution. II is pro-
bable, however, that they will agree
upon something similar to the plan
adopted several years ago in the state
Mississippi. No man may vote in Mis-
Slssippi unless he can read the constltu-
ton of the state, or intelligently ex-
plain its provisions if they are read to
him. This arrangement as practiced
lets all the white men in, and keeps
most of the colOred men out Never
theless, We have not learned that the
colored people of Mississippi are any
worse off than their brethren in other
Southern states where such restrictions
have not been adopted. If applied
fairly, so as to admit to the suffrage ev-
cry man OF reasonable intelligence and
capacity without regard to color, there
ought to be no objection to the Missis-
sippi plan. But the fact TO be plainly
faced Is this: The colored people of
the South are picking up the rudiments
of an elementary education pretty rap
idly. The time is approaching when
an impartiaily applied test of literacy
Will not avail to disranchIse the color
ed race in bulk. The best thinkers in
South Carolina recognize this fact more
clearly than anyone else has ever done.
If every negro in South Carolina were
possessed OF a university education, we
suspect that the white people of that
state would be Just about as strongly
ayerse to the idea of negro domination
as they are to-day. Possibly they would
be still more averse to it. But there is
very little strain in the immediate stu
alton, for the simple reason that the
colored people are giving themselves
almost no concern about their political
rights. They are more than ever in
clined to listen to the advice of their
friends of both races who inculcate the
doctrines Of industry, thrift and tenn
perance, and suggest the leaving Of pol
itIcS for the present to white mcn.-Rc-
view OF Reviews for October.

The Free Press calls upon thestate's
attorney and grand jurors OF Chit
tenden county to break up the sa-
looms and rum holes in Burlington.
We make no insinuations against
these officials, but it is the common
opinion that in several counties the
lax enforcement of the law is due to
the fact that officers make more
money in a year by permitting the
traffic to continue, making now and
then a raid to keep up appearances.
Breaking up the business wholly
would be like "killing the goose that
lays the golden egg" Beside this, a
liquor seller when backed up by
money generally makes his influence
felt in politics and elective officers
who wish to hold their places do not
careto offend too deeply that class of
politicians. The law, it is true,
makes the traffic in intoxicants a
crime, but public opinion doesn't re-
gard it as an offence of the same ma
ture as theft or burglary, and is dis
posed to blame the offender more for
getting caught than for violating the
law.-White River Junction Land

salaries of Governors.

There is a great difference in the
compensation of Governors. New
York pays the most-$10,000 a year
and house rent free. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania pay their governors
$4,000 year, but do not furnish
mansions for them. Ohio and Mas
sachusetts pay $4,000 a year, Illinois
and California pay $4,000 Colorado,
Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Virginia, and Wisconsin pay
$4,000. Maryland pays $500,
Eight states pay $4,000 a year. The
remaining 81 states pay miserabIy
small sums to their executives. In
Vermont and Oregon the governors
receive only $500 a year-hardly
enough to pay n capable private sec
rotary. In Michigan the salary
of the governor remained for many
years at $1,000 This restricted the
office to rich men, for no poor man
who was competent could afford to
take it. The salary in that state is
now $4,000.

The one claw of custom" in YER
mont which is responsible for a null
tiplcity of bad laws is that of elect
ing a new and inexperienced man as
town representative biennially. 1t is
the law of custom to pass it along.
1t makes no difference how able a
man is, it is of no consequence that
he has framed sound and excellent
legislation, it doesn't count that he
has dragged his town from Obscurity
and made it noted, when the session
closes and he gets home he is as po-
litically dead as Gov. Chittenden.
The office must be "passed along"
and two years afterward a man is
elected because it is "his turn" he
has waited for it and it belongs to
him." He goes to Montpelier not
knowing whether laws are made with
a jig-saw or cut out with a cleaver,
and goes through the session believ-
ing that the clerk of the House is
hired by the landlord. The result of
a herd of such legislators as these is
that the supreme court has to pick
out and interpret their work. Send

Returns to thegovernmentindicate
that during the last fiscal year the
beer consumption in the United
States aggregated 33,469,G61 bar.
rels, an increase of 161 900 barrels
over the total for the previous year.
This is at the rate of more than if
teen gallons for each man, woman,
and child in the country. AS a large
proportion do not drink beer, it fol-
lows that some of the people must
have been victims of a remarkable
thirst. No attempt is made to ac-
count for the large increase. Posi-
bly, some of it is due to the fact that
since the advent of a Democratic adj
ministration many champagne in
come has been reduced to a beer
basis.

The fire loss in the United States
during October was somewhat larger
than the average for the month.
This year itaggregated $13, All, 800,
or $5,000,000 more than the loss
during October, 1894. 1t is salts
factory to note, however, that while
the total fire loss for the year is
81, OOO,O greater than for the cor
responding period last year, it is,
nevertheless. twenty-three millions
less than 1898. Thus far November
has brought many fire losses, which
will serve to increase the aggregate,
but there is little doubt that such
losses, in proportion to the capital
invested in buildings, is gradually
growing less. This can be largely at
tributed to the improved facilities for
fighting confagrations. All over the
