fallen in line and they now soberly assert

governors in Vermont without consulting

GARRISON on Mckinley.

Gen. James s. Clarkson, the manager of
the Allison boom, has given his reasons
why Mckinley should not be the Republi-
can nominee. He says:
Major Mckinley has been idealized by
his friends, and because of the passage of
the tariff bill of 1890 they put him up as
the incarnation of protection. As matter
of fact, the Republican party is for protec-
ton, and it is the Republican party that
must fight the battle after the nomination
at St. Louis. The Republican national
committeeman remember Clay and Blaine
and the fate Of Republican popular idols.
was an enthusiast myself for many years,
but | have learned by experience that no
popular idol of the Republican party was
ever elected. 1t is only necessary for me
to refer to the havoc Grover Cleveland has
made with his party as a popular idol. He
wrecked his party during his first admins
tration and he has wrecked it again. The
democrats gave us one extreme on the tariff
question, and the Mckinley tariff bill gave
us another extreme. We want candidate
at St. Louis who will not arouse the old
spirit of faction in the party. We want a
candidate whom no Republican can find an
excuse to vote against. Allison is that
man. Allison made two tariffs before Major
Mckinley entered congress. He is wise
man aud not factionist. He has not
created faction and his friends are not
arrogant The hope of the Republican
party is to select man who in these hard
times will make it his resolve to bring about
peace, to restore safety to commercial
operations, man who is not extreme in
anything and sound money man.

What the "Rinq" Is.

The so-caled ''ring' in Vermont politics
is neither the close corporation that the
Rutland Herald describes nor the myth or
''spook'' that the St. Adams Messenger
calls it. 1t is somewhat nebu!ous in its
character, yet 1t has very potent exist
ence, as those who have ''bucked it, can
testify. 1t is composed of the leading poll
ticians OF the state, who have held office in
the past or who aspire to office in the flu
ture. Not every ex-officeholder belongs
to it, nor every aspirant to office, but for
obvious reasons the most Of them do With
out holding formal councils, the members
have pretty thorough understanding with
each other about those things that most
concern their respective welfare. Those
who have been supported for office in the
past are in duty bound to support those
who stood by them, and as these two
classes comprise large percentage OF
those who take any active interest in poll
ties in Vermont they have little trouble in
carrying out the program. Occasionally it
happens that there is little friction in one
or two of the numbers, but the main sched-
ule invariably goes through all right. In
asmuch as the ring is not an association OF
hhafoo anu ooouiiuieiS, Dut TdtHef Ol rep
utable citizens whose main fault is an in
satiable appetite for office it has done moth
ing worse than to hand over the offices in
most part TO those who are affiliated with
it, to the exclusion of more able men who
do not care to embrace its tenets for the
sake of the loaves and fishes. The ring
has done onl y what the people have per-
mitted it to-and the same can be said of
Tammany Hall.-Herald and News.

Drlslanes of Brattieb oro Sued.

Herbert j. Carter was one of the three
brothers found guilty at the last term of
court of placing distractions on the B. and
M. track near Brattleboro. Herbert
pleaded guilty to throwing a missile at the
passing train, and was given three years
in the penitentiary. His wife through her
attorney, c. II. Robb, has Brought suit
against Patrick, William and Michael Dris-
lane Of Brattleboro, under this section of
the statute. "Ifa person is confined in jail
the house of correction, or state prison, by
reason of intoxication or any criminal act
committed while intoxicated, the wife OF
such person in her own name, and in case
such person has no wife, his minor child OF
children, may, in an action founded on this
statute, recover Of the person who, by him
self, clerk, agent or servant, unlawiully
sold, furnished or gave away to such per
son, any part of Intoxicating liquor upon
which he became intoxicated, 50 per day
tor all the time such person may be thus
confined, to be recovered at the end O
such confinement, or at the end of each ant
any month thereof, with double COSTS
1t is claimed that Porter bought liquo
of the brisbane who ran a pool room il
Brattleboro, and while intoxicated com
mitted the depredations on the railroad
and property.
There is also another wrinkle in the Law
that may be brought to bear later on. Col
George w. Hooker of Brattleboro is the
owner of the building, then rented by thu
the Drislanes. That portion of the statut,
touching his case reads eff said intoxica
ting liquor was so sold, furnished, or givel
to such person in rented building, an,
owner of such building, or his agent il
charge thereof, knew or had reason t.
know that Intoxicating liquor was sold o
kept for sale by his tenant in said buildin
contrary to law, said owner may be joine
as defendant in such action, and judgmer
therein, may be rendered jointly against
them"
Col. Hooker has not been joined in tn
action, but there is no telling what may b
done later in the game.

s.The fact that Rev. A. II. Webb, the eff

certain whether Bishop Fowler will retur

himself an earnest, devoted>pastor and a pul

Legislators Should 0ivy.

1t would be an eminently graceful and
proper thing for the men who drank that
whiskey at the fish hatchery to raise the
money to pay the fine which has been i'm
posed. especially as the fine is imposed not
because the guilty person has been found
and convicted, but merely that some one
might suffer for the violation of the law b,
some one. The members of the Vermont
legislator who went to the fish hatchery
and drank whiskey furnished by some Other
legislature, or by some state official, ought
to have the grace to aid in paying the cost

AbOIishes its Agency.

We notice that the selectmen of Rutland
have decided to abolish the town agency.
According to all accounts, the city is SO
literally furnished with saloons that the
agency was superAuous. Is the legal and
police authority of the state of Vermont
inadequate to execute the law in Rutland!
If the power exists, why is it not used.
Notification of state law by town OF
city exerts a miscbievous tendency upon
other communities. Is it not the duty O.
the governor of the state to have the laws
enforced in cases where the local authori
ties are unable to execute them9-lIerald

Sick In His Mind.

Hon. f. j. Phelps, late minister to
England, talks very much like a cheap per-
son, who wanted the newspapers to "cuss

No Sparring la ClaremOnt.

1t was announced that George Bush and
George Godfrey, the heavy weight cham
pions who boxed in Union hall last week
would give an exhibition in sparring in
Huntoon block in Claremont last Monday
evening, but the show failed to materialize.
1t had been arranged to give this exhibit
ton on the preceding week, but postpone
ment was made in Difference to the church
calendar. 1t was thought, however, that
on Monday night there would be no trou-
BILE. and consequently the surprise was
great when, after a round or two between
two local sparrers, an officer of the law
stepped to the front, forbade further en-
counters and placed Bush under arrest.
Speaking of the matter the Advocate
says;
''After this the crowd was about as joy
full as wake without corpse. Indigna-
ton against Boyd ran pretty high until
some reflected that he was acting in the
performance of his duty, and had no choice
in the matter. But it was necessary to be
mad at some one, so the feeling turned
against Bush-who was having plenty Of
trouble anyway. There was evidently no
show, and Bush carried the box office in
his trousers pocket. The crowd wanted
its money back, and the common question
was:
"W'ere's me 'alf doller?"
'Bush's got it," was the reply; and
some went so far as to say they'd have the
'alf doiler back even if they had to lick
Bush to get it. There is no record, how
ever of this being done"
Bush was taken ON debt, under a statute
that provides that the penalty for giving a
show without previously securing license
shall not exceed $500. Consequently Bush
was held to be in the towns debt sum not
exceeding $500, but the town fathers
kindly consented to drop the matter if Bush
would drop the exhibition, and this was
agreed to. Bush will be allowed to go on
with his boxing lessons.
What influenced the authorities to take
the action they did was a petition against
the exhibition circulated by two clergymen
and signed by many OF the best citizens of
Claremont.
