GOLD BASIS.

The following, which appeared in
an article IN the Forum from the pen
eff the eminent French fnancier and
writer, Paul Leroy Beauieu, should
be of interest to all:
So soon as the capitalists, small an d
great, of Europe, shall know that the
United States have definitely adopted
the gold standard and relegated silver
to a subordinate monetary role, the
savings of Western Europe will flow
toward that country. Freed from the
fear that he may some day be paid in
savings in all Europe will be happy to
find a return of 81 to per cent in
good American securities, and of to
SIS per cent in the shares of WE'LL
taDlished American enterprises. Then
the immense territory of the United
States will find it's vast resources rap
idly and compl etely put in the way of
exploitation The abandonment of
notes or paper money issued by the
the State; the defnitive adoption of
gold as the sole standard, - these are
the two necessary conditions on which
the United States can secure finan-
cial position as important as that they
now hold in agriculture and in indus
try. On these two conditions they
can some day approach and equal
Great Britain as financial power. IF,
on the contrary, they persist in their
system of government paper money
and in the 'srehabilitation'' of silver,
their Industrial and commercial de-
velopment alike will be trammelled,
and they will undergo marked and
permanent experiences of financial
weakness.

GOV. WOODBURY,S LIBEL SUIT.

Our readers are more or less inter-
ested in the important libel suit which
was recently tried at Burlington, in
which Gov. Woodbury. sued the pub
Usher of the Rutland Herald for call
ing him s'rumseller and his house a
rum hole" The Herald got out a, as
they called it, full account of the pro-
ceedings, which they asked the state
papers to distribute as supplements to
the local readers. The case is still in
the hands of the three Supreme Court
Judges, before whom it was brought,
to be decided some weeks hence.
While it will not be in good taste to
comment on a case which is ssin the
hands Of the court" it will not be un-
fair to call attention to a few facts.
1t will first be remembered that the
Herald is one of the most rempant
and outspoken opponents of the pro-
hibition law in the state It not only
opposes the law, but is very liable to
jump on to those who support it. 1t
has sought various means to bring the
ly little doubt that it has sought
through various means and by vari-
GUS men to cause the law to be violat
ed in the Van Ness House, making
this, inasmuch as it was being run as
a temperance house, CONSPICUOUS
target of attack. The evidence shows
that during the comparatively long
time it has been run under the man
agement of Gov. Woodbury., consider
able liquor has been drunk in the
house, furnished always on the solici
tation Of guests and parties, by bell
boys, and in very few instances by
other employees. Some of this liquor
getting was, without doubt, obtained
on purpose to make blackmail and
evidence against the house.
On the other hand the evidence of
Gov. Woodbury. himself, frank full
and unimpeachable, goes to show that
he gave orders at once when he OBJ
tanned possession of the house to
have all liquor selling stopped, and
that all his managers and clerks, and
employees, SO far as he knew, were
instructed TO sell and handle no
liquors. All his men, with one e1-
ception, deny having sold liquors,
and corroborate the governors state
ment that liquors were not sold by
his direction or knowledge.
The public will readily see how that
it was and might naturally be ex-
tremely difficult, if not impossible
for the proprietor Of the hotel, GER
tainly if he was not a resident Of the
house, to prevent the use of some
liquor about his house. There are too
many liquor drinkers, too many op-
portunities to deceive and cheat in
the getting of it, to prevent the abb
solute use of it in hotel, where the
guests number up into the thousands
yearly.
1t certainly turns out in the evil
dence that Gov. Woodbury. took
most honorable position in the matter
and his record as a temperance man,
and an exemplar5 citizen will not
lose by this complete showing of the
management of his hotel.
