Public Sentiment and Liquor Laws.

The bill making the punishment for
first offences of liquor selling impris-
onmcnt in all eases instead of leaving
it discretionary with the court 10 fine
or imprison passed the Senate by the
aid OF the acknowledgement vote,
but was Killed in the House after full
and fair discussion II was favored
by the Observation-Disclosures, who be-
lieve that selling or giving away liquor
in any form, even cider, is Il crime
that ought to be punished with even
greater severity than arson, rape or
manslaughtcr. wherein the court j.
given discretionary power. They con
tended that it would be possible to en-
tirely suppress the sale of liquor if first
offences were pcnalized by imprison-
ment and that the process known rs
''iine-t taking" wonld necessarily come
to IN end. The bill was opposed by
many sincere temperance men and
friends of the prohibitory law who
thought that the law was sufficient 50
far a. penalties were concerned and
that the proposed change would make
it impossible to secure convictions for
first offences in communities where
the law j. not strongly sustained BY
sentiment, which would result in no
checking of the traffic and free flow
ofrum in such communities. The OPP
poncnts Of the bill had altogether the
best of the argument and scored de-
cisive victory.
Public sentiment in Vermont con
corning the prohibitory law may be
divided into several phases. First are
the extreme advocates of prohibition,
who not only support it as creed
but, when occasion arises, assist in its
enforcement second are the open
opponents of the law, who favor Ii
cense or local option. Then there are
between the extremists a great many
people, who, while nominally in favor
in preference to license,
cannot be depended upon to sustain
its enforcement rs they do the laws
against natural crimes. They are al
ways ready TO vote against license.
but really wouldn't feel very bad if
license were adopted. Many of them
take little interest in the question.
Some ofthem even drink Il glass OF
beer occasionally without feeling al
twinge of conscience and so long as
they are able to get what little stimu-
liant they need under prohibition-as
they all are-thcy are well enough
satisfied with the present law which

The Republican Opportunity.


While the Republican national vie
tory was in sense overwhelming, the
party will do well to exercise the
greatest care in the discharge Of it,
trust IT, under wise and just laws,
faithfully and impartially executed,
the country prospers to a degree that
satisfies the people, the party is as
s1red continuance of power. If, on
the contrary, the opportunity Is
abused and selfish legislation operates
to the injury Of the people, its tenure
will he short Recent elections show
only too plainly how lightly party ties
rest, The people want the best rule,
be it Democratic or Republican.
Though badly defeated, the Democrats
must not be despised, They cast
1884, 463 votes for Bryan to 1853, l02
for Mckinley. The Republican plu-
rality is made up Of Independents and
Democrats who seek only the welfare
of their country and are not blind fol
lowers of party names. If reasonably
satisfied, they will continue TO act with
the Republican party They expect rs
to fulfill our promises. and will not OBJ
iect to Il reasonable protective tariff,
but they are malterably opposed to
laws intended to benefit the wealthy
classes at the expense of the poorer
people If such policy is undertaken.
it can be safely set down that every
vote cast for Bryan this year will be
cast for him in 1900 and in addition
enough more to give him Il greater
majority than Mckinley has this year.
Bryan is to devote his entire atten-
ton during the next four years to
strengthening his cause and he will
not fail to profit by all the mistakes his
opponents make. Especially will any
thing that has the appearance of favor
itism to the rich be shown up in the
most ingenious manner possible. The
Republican party has Il dangerous foe
in Mr.. Bryan, whom ii will do well to
properly estimate. We have firm hope
and faith that Republican rule for four
years will prove so satisfactory that
there will be no room left for Bryan to
stand upon, but to accomplish this the
utmost care is necessary.

portance the committees seemed UNI
equal to the emergency. The Senate
committee did report in favor OF GER
tain bill, designed TO repeal the iniqui-
ty and it passed that body with
the aid of the lieut.. governor decid-
inc vote. Ii was then reconsidered
for the purpose of making certain
amendments, and the opponents OF the
measure took advantage of the reop-
ening of the question and the absence
of some of the friends of the bill to de
feat it,
In the House, all of the various bills
giving relief were untavorably re-
ported by Il weak committee and sum
marily killed save one, introduced by
George NJ. Powers. which was returned
without report and stood fair chance
of passage. when the Senate killed the
bill above mentioned, which, at so late
an hour of the session, ended all hope
of a change and Mr.. Powers did not
make the defence of his bill that he
woud otherwise have done and il
failed of passage, the bankers of the
House being on hand rs usual TO in
