The bishop of London, inviting his
clergy to observe Temperance Sunday,
May 9th, writes: 4 am sure you will
feel the Importance OF urging Oh all
Christian people the paramount obliga-
ton of temperance"
Now we are not a bishop and Lara
mic is not London, but we may be al
lowed to suggest that Laramie is quite
like London in it's need for temperance.
We need temperance sermons, n tenn
perance mass meeting and some city Of
ticials who think like the bishop that
this is a matter of paramount import
ance. If we could only get our citizens
to think the closing OF the saloons in
this city was of as much importance as
a prize fight or a baby show, what good
might be done. A temperance sermon
from each of our pulpits might cause
an arrest Of thought, and we know that.
Wrong is wrought
By want Of thought,
As well as want of heart.
We would further suggest thai our
temperance Sunday be in March instead
OF May. The rulers of our people doubt
less have their plans formed for the city
election, we ought to be as wise as they.
There is no doubt in my mind but the
majority Of the people of the Gem City
OF the plains are in favor Of sobriety.
Why then do they put their influence on
the side Of wrong? Our most prominent
church members generally cast their
ballots with the baser element. Let US
try this time to vote for God and home
and humanity.

AS quests OF the Emptre---PrOf. WIN.
ID. Clark's Interesting Journey as a
Member of the International GeoIoRi-
cal Congress.
DIR. William b. Clark has recently re-
turned TO his post at Johns Hopkins uni
versity from his three months trip abroad.
The purpose of his trip was to attend the
International Geological Congress in St.
Petersburg. He was appointed by the
governor Of Maryland as delegate from that
state, and also received credentials from
Secretary Sherwin as one of the six dele
gates from the United States. The con-
gress was opened in st. Petersburg Aug.
80 with an address by the Grand Duke
Constantine. Its session In that city last
ed a week. Six hundred delegates repre-
senting all parts of the world were pres
ent, and they were deliberately entertained,
the Gar giving a great banquet in honor
Of the congress. An invitation from the
senate of Finland to visit that country was
given and accepted.
On leaving st. Petersburg the congress
began tour of Russia in special trains as
the guests of the Russian empire. The
train ran from Finland to the Asiatic prov
inces of Russia in the South, visiting all
the interesting geological points through
out central and southern Russia. The
visitors were entertained all along the
route by the governors of the provinces
and the mayors of the towns through
which they passed. They travelled over
6OOO miles in Russia alone, going 1000
miles by boat on the Volga, and crossing
the Caucasus mountains by the Russian
military road under a military escort-for
the road is still unsafe for the unwary
traveller.
The party visited the great Russian oil
wells on the shores of the Caspian sea, and
on Russian vessel sailed over 1000 miles
ON the Black sea, making visits into the
interior of Crimea, and stopping at all the
chief points of geological and historical in
terest.
The congress closed with a final session
at Odessa October @, DIR. Clark returning
with a party of American and English
biologists by way of Constantinople and
Bulgaria.
DR.. Clark was impressed with the power
and magnifcence of Russia as a great ma
ton, and at the same time with the lack of
intelligence on the part of the great mass
of the common people.

The receipts of the state fair at Burling-
ton did not meet the expenses this year,
and there is no money to pay the interest
on the $4,000 bonds. There is certainly
something wrong when an agricultural
society with the location and facilities
afforded to the exhibition at Burlington
cannot be made to pay expenses. The
management seems blameless, and it looks
as II the complaint of lack of home patron
age might have considerable foundation.
There is no complaint of this kind at
Brattleboro, which by the way has the
best fair in New England every year. 1t
has large and rich farming territory from
which to draw its agricultural exhibits, but
above all else it has the cordial support of
every interest in its town. AS 1t is with
the fair so it is with every honest enter
prise in the village-it is loyalty supported
by the citizens. Brattleboro has q ceme-
terry, but it is appropriately located in
beautiful spot on the hill and not in the
business portion of the village. This is
the chief reason that Brattleboro is a clean,
progressive and growing town. The clti-

In the Hands Of Mortgages.

In the Hands OF Mortgages.
Henry A. Chapln's drug store was taken
possession ofby the holders of mortgage
on the store last Saturday afternoon. This
was done by Mr.. Chapln's request, since
he thought 1t not best to try TO keep up
the struggle against adverse circumstances
during another winter, and he preferred TO
stop business while his affairs were in
such shape that both his creditors and
himself could be saved from serious loss.
The mortgage runs to Gen. j. j. Estey,
with the names of G. II. Eddy, George A.
Eels and @. III. Thompson as securities
upon the note which the mortgage secures.
Mr.. Chaplin also owes a note on which
$3.50 Is now due, and which is secured by
life insurance policy. Besides these two
notes Mr.. Chapin's liabilities consist of
market debts estimated at less than $1,000,
and small amount of personal indebted
ness. II favorable sale of the store can
be made this indebtedness will be paid in
full, and it is hoped that there may be a
small balance left. To accomplish this
end and prevent forced sale the mort
gagees will stock the store with whatever
goods are necessary and continue the bust
ness until the right customer Is found.
Mr.. Chaplin took the store from Henry
Q. Willard ID years ago. He has been
obliged to do business on borrowed capital
from the first, and the hard times Of the
past four years has inevitably increased the
burden. The announcement of his en-
barrassment and voluntary rellnq uishment
OF the business has called out such gem
erai expression Of sympathy and friendship
as proves the high personal esteem in which
he Is held.

The first one Of Rudyard Kipllng's
"Just So" stories, which have been so we'll
advertised by the publishers of st. Nicho-
las, appears In the place of honor in the
Christmas number of that magazine which
was issued yesterday. 1t Is the story of
how the whale got its tiny throat. This
particular whale of which the story tells
had eaten up every fish In the sea except
one "astute" little fish which hid behind
the whales right ear and from that point
of vantage advised him to try man when
his next ht of hunger came on. He also
told the big Cetaceon at what magical
point of latitude and longitude he would
find shipwrecked mariner sitting on raft,
"clad in a pair of blue canvas breeches,
pair of suspenders and a jack-knife."
Thither the whale went and swallowed
man and raft and blue breaches and all.
But the mariner was man of "intiniLe-re-
sOurce-and-sagacity," and he made such a
tremendous disturbance in the whales sin
side cupboards" that the whale was glad
to obey the mariners mandate and speedily
swim with him to his home by the "whlte-
cliffs-of-Alblon." Arrived there the whale
crushed half way up the beach, and open
ed his mouth wide and wide and wide, and
said; Change here for Winchester, Ash
uelot, Nashua, Keene, and stations on the
Ftchburg road' and just as he said
Fitch the mariner walked out of his
mouth" Mr.. Kipling hasn't got the train
mans lingo exactly by the book, but II Is
near enough TO show how he ''catches on"
TO apt expressions for his stories; and TO
show, also, that he, too, has travelled to
and from Brattleboro by way of South
Vernon where passengers from south and

THE BIJOU.

Sutton Vane's great melodrama,
Humanity" which made such hit
in New York and elsewhere last sea-
son, will be produced here for the
first time at the Bijou next week.
The play is one Of w. A. Brady's most
successful attractions and will be put
on with a splendidly equipped COM
pany, the latest stage effects and the
highest spectacular results Of modern
scenic art. With true love that runs
roughly for its theme, and war, MUIR
der, bomb explosions, broadsword
combat, fox hunting with English
thoroughbredS and trained hounds,
and similar realistic features to en-
liven a sensational plot, Humanity"
is unQuestionably one Of the strong
est melodramas on the American
stage. There is no waiting for the
last act for some realistic feature
the excitement begins at once, and
holds the attention Of the audience
all the way through. The scene
whereof score Of trained Englis h
hunters, mounted by the orthodox
sportsmen in red coats, and ladies in
gay attire, come on to the deep bay
ing Of the pack Of hounds, is alone
strong enough to carry an ordinary
play; but it is supplemented by the
still more powerful situation, the
broadsword combat between the hero
and the Dutch Boer leader who unex-
pectedly meet on horseback during
the battle; and later, by the very acme
of stage sensations, the dynamite ex-
plosion that wrecks an entire build

"SULPHUR AND BRIMSTONE."

The democra tic idea is a baby-rattle
There never was democracy and
there never can be one, in the nature
of things. The social feet may not
regulate the social brain. The days Of
brute force are long since past. Gun
ming rules. In the natural course Of
evolution Justice will yet prevail. But
we are not looking for Jus tice. We
seek undue advantage everywhere,
profit in commerce, authority in re-
liyion, and majorities in politics. The
first requisite Of Justice is Liberty,
not majority. Justice is a natural
law. Everywhere and necessarily ma
ture works to establish her balances.
Justice will arrive as other natural
laws have arrived, by voluntary prac-
tice only. They cannot be forced onto
US by majoritieS, because good will not
proceed out of evil. The manikin who
made the first steam engine compelled
the world to make steam engines. So
it will be when we commence to apply
Justice. which is the greatest and
most powerful Of all natural laws.
But don't forget. you cannot manu-
facture Justice in ballot box. JUS
tice Is the golden law.

WANTS GOOD ROADS.
The Necessity for Improved Highways.

The Necessity for Improved Highways.
Editor Representative:
Here is a question Of general inter-
est that average citizens can unite on
and that won't conflict with party
prejudices. In this progressive age
the great question of cheap transport
tatlon occupies very prominent
place. Now through our national and
state governments have been most
liberal in their patronage and sup
port Of public enterprises, such as rail
roads, and the principal rivers, to aid
navigation; yet the most important
interest to the farmers, the improve
ment OF our common roads haA> been
passed over as something not worth
the patronage and support of the gov
crnment. Now this IS not in accord
with the spirit OF progress that actu-
ated Congress when they started out
to develOpe and improve the country.
One OF the greatest Improvements IN
the early history Of our Republic was
the building and formation OF the
great national road from Washington
TO st. Louis, one of the best roads |
ever rode over. Then were other 9TH
er public roads built and paid for out
of the national treasury. The wants
of the common people were then
worthy Of consideration; but we have
outlined all those primitive ideas of
Repu blican simplicity and the nation
is literally bankrupt from enormous
grants of land and money to corpora
tionS who have forfeited those grants.
Why not fOreclOSe on them and take
this forfeited land to cons truct better
highways and put the unemployed
men to work. From where | sit, writ
ing this appeal to my fellow farmers.
l can see the farm teams hauling pro-
duce to market over roads with mud a
foot deep; yet within one mile of an
inexhaustible beds of the finest
gravel l ever saw. Now in this
age Of progress there is no excuse for
such mirey road beds as we have at
present. Our present road graders
are admirably adapted to put the
common roads in good shape with
either stone or gravel, and there are
few sections where ample material
can't be obtained. Gravel is bet
ter for our common roads than stone,
for the following reasons 1t is
cheaper, more easily incorporated
with the road bed. and is less trouble
to repair holes when necessary. 1t is
pretty generally distributed and
when too far distant the railroads
could carry for trifffhg toll. Then
the farmers could;dO most of the work
at leisure spells or during the winter.
by all means let us have better roads.
Yours for progress,
Sam uei Sinnett.
