About Toy Guns,

Last week a complaint was made at this
office regarding the careless use of toy
guns; the occasion being the serious injury
to the young son of S. j. Cray.
Article % of the corporation bylaws
seems to cover this matter pretty thorough
ly. 1t says: "No person shall, except in
the performance of some duty required by
law, discharge any gun, revolver or pistol
OF any kind, or fire arms loaded with ball
or shot, or with powder only, or percussion
caps with toy pistols, Or squibs or fire
crackers, within the principal sinhabited
parts of the village, Or within % rods of
any dwelling house therein. Any person
who shall offend against the provisions of
this article shall forfeit and pay for each
otfense fine not less than So nor more
than $40 with COSTS
Simply enforcing the bylaw would do
away with the difficulty.

Mckinley the Coming Man.

A metropolitan daily recently de-
voted several pages to booming Speaker
Reed for the next Republican nominee for
president, and forthwith the papers Of Yer
mont begin to sound the echo. Some of
these echoes are becoming hysterical. The
Randol ph Herald and News thinks that the
Vermont delegation should be pledged for
Reed, but the sedate st. Adams Messen-
ger says no. The Free Press is another
paper that has worked itself up to a ieser-
ish pitch of excitement.
What are the arguments advanced for
Mr.. Reeds candidacy He is a braily
man and has made great hit as speaker
Of the house; but above all he is a New
England man, and New England hasn't
had president lately. There is no gain
saying the fact that Mr.. Reed is an able
man, and if elected to the high office woi,ld
fill it with credit, but what claim has he to
the suflragcs Of the American people that
Mr.. Mckinley has not9 He is no better
orator, he has figured no more prominently
in history and is not as broad Statesman.
On the other hand there are several re-
spects in which Mr.. Mckinley has decided
advantages over Mr. Reed. McKinly
stands for principle, policy, the settled
policy Of the ,4anseriean people, proteatiaN;
Reed subscribes to the policy. Mckinley
is the teacher, Reed the pupil; the former
leads, the latter follows
The Mckinley tariff has been criticised.
derided, held up to contempt, but the ex-
perience of the American people with the
Gorman-Wilson abomination has demon
strated beyond contradiction and the con-
stantly increasing demand for more rev.
enue there was never better, more ade-
quate tariff measure put upon the statute
books.
Mckinley is tower of strength in the
west and south; Reeds boom is confined
to New England and even here he is
doomed largely for sectional reasons.
Mckinley's star is rising toward the ze-
NTH with undimmed lustre; Reeds is
scarcely above the horizon, and shines
with uncertain light.

What the Hotel Men Did.

The Vermont hotel men called to con
vene in Montpelier last Wednesday to de-
wise means for mutual protection" did not
whooper-up with any great enthusiasm. 1,
was advertised that over 100 would be
present, but less than 25 noses were count
ed at the roll call
About all that was attempted was the
exclusion Of newspaper men during the
proceedings OF the body. w. N. Webb OF
Lyndonville, proprietor of the "Webb
Hotel set the ball rolling. He moved that
all newspaper men be excluded. He
said that he thought the names of those
present should be published, and he per-
sonally was afraid that, should the infor-
nation get out that he was at Montpelier,
the 800 prohibitionists up at Lyndonville
would make it hot for him. The newspaper
men staid, however.
II. l.. Doyle Of st. Johnsbury, the prime
mover in the agitation, had a great deal to
say. He said the Vermont Chronicle
classed him with thieves and murderers to
this he entered mild protest.
He further said. sThe prohbitory law
stands as it is, because it has never been
opposed The temperance fanatics have
always had their own way. The temper
ance laws as they stand to-day are harmful.
Nine-tenths of the liquor prosecutions in
this state are brought through malice or
love of gain, and very few through love OF
temperance"
A meeting for further agitation will be
held in White River Junction sometime, if
there is no change Of plans.
Among those present were the follow
ing: w. B. johnson of Essex Junction

Falls; H. l.. Doyle of st. Johnsbury; w.
