No Rum, No Hotels,

The two hotels at Essex Junction in this
state were raided early in the week and
Intoxicating liquors seized in each place.
AS result the hotel keepers got OH their
ear, and swore by all the gods that if they
could not sell rum they would not run
hotels, with the result that Essex junction
now has no hotel.
This childish act will bear investigation
and comment. 1t is favorite argument
with hotel men in Vermont that they can
not do a hotel business without selling
liquor because forsooth in order to keep
the table running they have to depend on
the bar receipts; in other words legiti-
mate hotel business under the laws of Yer
mont cannot be made to pay expenses.
Thinking men always take this argument
with several grains of allowance.
In the first place the hotel business in
many places is overdone there are two OF
three hotels when one is amply sufficient to
do all the business. In such cases where
the business is divided and subdivided it is
very natural that no one of the seve ra
hotels can meet expenses; but is this any
reason why they should be allowed to do a
wholesale rum business in violation of law!
If there is not legitimate business enough
to support all these hotels. let some of the
landlords take to the plow and the shovel
There is another argument often ad-
vanced that is equally fallacious; it is tina
hotel men would be content If undsturbet
in their privilege of selling to the guests o
the house. There is not one hotel man il
ten who is willing to abide by any such IT
striction. lie desires to work the .ssellin,
to guests only racket, as a cover to sell
ing to whoever applies.
However, so long as cupidity remains
pronounced element in human nature, run
will be sold the question is, how can tn
traffic best be regulated, for probably il
no business of magnitude are the profits S
! enormous, and the pecuniary inducemer
so strong.

Will Cotton Mills Go South?

The Boston Sunday journal had an in
teresting symposium on the subject Of cot
ton industries in New England. The sub
ject was brought up by the recent step
taken by the Lawrence Manufacturing
company in going out of the business of
manufacturing cotton goods and returning
the capital used in that business to the
stockholders rather than attempting to
change the mill so as to avoid southern
competition or building mill in the south
itself
Replies to the following questions were
sent by 16 prominent cotton manufacturers
in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and
Rhode Island referring to the action of the
Lawrence company.
1. Is it an indication that the New
England manufacturing of cotton goods i:
going to decrease?
2. Does this mean that the competition
of goods manufactured in the south is toe
severe for our manufacturers?
3. What advantages has the south over
New England in such manufacture?
4. Is it the longer hours of labor
| or the lower wages, or both? Or is it also
because of cheaper materials and mildel
climatep
8. Does this competition affect al
grades of goods manufactured in New Eng
land alike. or is it likely to do SO in tn,
near future, or is it only to be feared ii
the coarser grades of goods?
| 6. Can our New England mills profit
ably adapt themselves to making fine
goods and fancy weaves, or are they ex
cluded from this business by foreign com
petition?
/ z. Have the laws enacted in our stat
legislature and congress had anything f
do with these conditions, and, if so, VIII
and in what way?
8. Will these conditions injuriously al
feet the wage-earners in New England, o
throw them out of employment, or chang
the price of labor?
The consensus of opinion was that tn
coarser grade of goods will be hereafte
manufactured in the south.
That it does mean that southern compe
{ tition in the coarser grades is too sever,
That the south has the advantage ov,
New England of milder climate, cheape
, freights, longer hours of labor, eheap'
wages, and fuel at half price.

A strong effort has been made to create
the greater New York by uniting Brooklyn
and New York under one city government.
A bill to that effect passed the state legis-
lature, but was vetoed last week by the
mayors of both cities.
At the Maine M. +. conference Monday
resolutions were adopted condemning the
election of Hon. Frank Jones of Ports
mouth, N. H., as trustee of the Maine
Wesleyan seminary and female college on
the ground that his reputation as brewer
is highly inimical to the cause of temper
ance and that such action compromises that
seminary and subjects the Methodists to
painful humiliation. Mr.. Jones' resigna-
ton was requested, but he says that the
action of the conference has decided the
matter, and that he shall accept the cleo
ton. He furthermore says that he makes
good beer and is engaged in reputable

RUTLAND RAILROAD.
Speculation about the Lease and Chance
of Home Management.

The Rutland Herald, evidently speaking
with authority, said Tuesday morning:
.'Since the Central Vermont road went
into the hands OF receivers the air has been
full Of speculation as to the effect Of the
move on the lease of the Rutland road,
rnnning from Burlington to Bellows Falls,
which was leased by the Central. 1t has
been said that in the end the Rutland COM
pany might get possession Of its property
and operate it at Rutland, and this idea
has had universal local welcome And
developments so far go to show that this
possibility is real enough, although it is
yet impossible to do more thar. guess what
shape things will take in the end.
The lease of the Rutland road to the
Central Vermont provides that receipts at
stations on the line and certain other
money shall be paid into the Clement
National bank as trustee, from which the
Rutland road should get its rent. This
has been done until the receivership was
established, but the station receipts were
diverted a few days ago and the bank nc
longer gets them The Rutland road is
accordingly taking steps to either compel
the receivers to pay the rent or to get pos
session OF its property, and definite action
in the matter is expected at no distant
day"

IT WAS GRESHAM.S.

But Death Robbed Him of the HARD
Earned Credit Due for the Venesueian
Folicy-Sone Interesting Inside HISTORY
Gradually Coming to the Surface Re
garding the Firm Stand Taken ON tho
Monroe Doctrine.
CHICAGO, Jan. IA Washington
special says some Interesting inside
history is gradually coming to light In
regard to the authorship of the Vene-
zuelan policy. The statement OF
Kenesaw NJ. Lands in an interview
few days ago to the effect that the
late Secretary Gresham was the au-
thor finds confirmation in official
sources. The last issue of Secretary
Smiths newspaper, the Atlanta Jour-
nal, contains long dispatch from
Washington asserting that Secretary
Gresham prepared the case for the
American government and that Mr..
Olney is receiving credit for a policy
really originated by Secretary Ores
ham.
Said member of the cabinet yester-
day:
1T is correct that Secretary Gresham
had devoted a year of careful study to
the Venezuelan dispute and collected
all of the facts on which the note to
Salisbury was based. Attorney-Gen-
eraI OIney was more familiar with the
progress of the work than any other of
the cabinet, as he conferred frequently
with the late secretary and the presi-
dent as the case developed.
''When Secretary Gresham was seized
by his last illness in March the case
was temporarily suspended to await his
recovery. But it had been brought up
to the point of preparing the brief to
be forwarded to Salisbury. In fact, a
courteous demand for arbitration had
been submitted in November, 1894.
Early in May it became apparent that
Secretary Gresham, even if he recov-
cred, would not be able to actively re-
sumo his labors at the state depart
ment for several months, and Mr.. Oh
ncy, the attorney general, was di'
rected to prepare the brief i'll the case.
1t was written at the department of
justice about ten days before Secre-
tary Gresham died.
But for the secretary's death, the
fair to go down in history as marking
Ill cpOIl LII ocFciODulcuG u Tic
Monroe doctrine, would have gone TIC
Salisbury several months earlier and
been signed by Gresham instead of
Olney. The secretary's death delayed
the transmission of the note. 1t was
purposely withheld several weeks be-
cause the administration considered it
would have been in bad taste to spring
j. so suddenly after the secretarys
death.
Inc Venezuelan policy cannot be
set down as being dlstinctively Ores
hams. 1t was a subject taken up as
an administration measure early in
Mr.. Cleveland's second term, with a
view to its settlement before the close
of the administrat ton. But the work
of preparing the case fell almost en-
tirely upon Secretary Gresham. He
advised the cabinet OF the progress OF
the work and was firmly convinced
that Great Britain was an aggressor.
Gresham looked forward to the an
nouncement of his Venezuelan policy
to mark his reputation as diplomat. :"

Guanajay IL Now the Center of Active

sion Has Been Lifted From Havana
NEW YORK, Jan. ia Herald spe-
cial from Washington says:
Friends of Cuba are bringing ire
mendous pressure to bear in favor cf
congressional action looking to recog-
milton of the rebels as belligerents.
Their chief spokesman appears to he
Mr.. Sulzer, of New York.
The question of Cuban recognition
is serious one and is receiving much
consideration. It is conceded that
congress can do nothing except eN-
press its opinion. The administra-
tons position has not been changed
It has said that the tir>1e to recognize
Cuban belli serency has not yet come.
The president believes recognition OF
belligerent rights would hurt the cause
of free Cuba instead OF helping it.
The president has other views con-
corning the proper method of getting
at the Cuban question, as will be made
known in good time.
If the Cubans will only be patient
and keep up the fight it is the general
belief in well-informed circles that the
president will in due time make move
in their behalf much more important
and far-rearching than the doubtful
expedient of formally recognizing bel
ligerency or an expression of SYM
pathy in congress.
The New Theater of Active Operations.
NEW YORK, Jan. ia special cable
dispatch to the Herald from Havana
says:
Guanaiay, just across the border Of
Pinar Del Rio province, is now the CEN
ter of active operations, the cloud Of
excitement which has hung over this
city for days having gradually drifted
westward.
The capital being now no longer
menaced, less anxiety is shown about
the official headquarters, and many OF
the precautions hurriedly taken for
the city's defense are being as quickly
relaxed.
The report was spread here Thurs
day that President Cleveland had vol
unteered his good offices, through
Consul Williams, to bring about a con-
ference between Capt. Gen. Campos
and Gen. Gomez.
The purpose was said to be to effect
a peaceful compromise, which would
give the Cubans autonomy, aud the
United States indirect economic con-
troll of Cuba, while at the same time
assuring the perpetuity, under Amer
lean protection, of the Spanish flag
over the island COoS,,l Williams will
not talk on the subject.
