TEMPERANCE IN MARCH MEETING

Public sentiment in this sectio of
Vermont is overwhelmingly in favor
of prohibition and the enforcement of
the prohibitory law of the state. That
these laws are not more thoroughly
enforced is due in no small measure
| to the carelessness of the temperance
voters in the selection of officers
chosen at the March meeting. Or
leans county is as we'll governed, with
out doubt, in things of temperance
law as any county in the state, but it
will not do to relax vigilance, or to
trust things to fate even here. 1t is
absurd to expect man whose princi-
Piles are bad and whose associates are
low to make a reliable officer of any
sort; and it will not do to rely on a
tippler of an occasional drinker to
help punish men through the law for
what he has done or would like to do
himself. You cannot trust a consta-
BILE, a grand jury man, or magis-
trate in rum case, if he drinks. y The
''town authority, 'in the selection Of a
AiOU VI IuOA lIOll1 WuOul Sudll w draw
the petit and grand jury of the coun-
ty, should exercise good degree of
care. These are places which require
Intelligence, good Judgment and in
tegrity, and the custom of passing
these officers around aomng the citi-
zens, half hazardously: is a wrong
one. if the character of the men is not
kept in view. 1t ought not be neces-
sary to select men with reference to
their feelings or views regarding
single law; all officers are alike bound
by honor and by oath to act justly up
to the measure of ability and best
Judgment toward every law on the
statute book. If temperance men are
alive to the best interest of their
homes and the community they will
permit the election of only honest,
temperance men to the officers of the
town.

New York's associated banks, in
increasing their loans to to the ex-
tent of almost S6,OOO,OO0 in the past
five days, have furnished a good in
dication of the strength and persist
ence of the trade improvement. The
activity of the stock and other specu-
lative markets is accountable, of
course, for some of the increased de-
mand for money, but this activity, in
it's present phase, is in itself an evil
dence of business expansion and gen
eral financial confidence.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.

The public ownership of public utilities IS
populist doctrine one of its fundamental
tenents. 1t was the first considerable party to
take stand unequivocally in its favor, in the
first; and all subsequent platforms, and because
of that fact, it has always been denounced by
the Republican press as "socialistic.'
Nevertheless, the idea is spreading among
the people with great rapidity, and 1t now
looks as though the most of our cities will soon
be emancipated from the tyranny OF the local
cornorations that now rule and rob them.
Nor will it stop there. The war has not
onlv made it clear the Nicaragua canal must be
built, but also that it must belong to the nation
so clear, indeed, that even the Topeka Capt.
tai has come out in its favor. The course pur-
sued by the Republicans in congress, Will De
watched with great interest. "Public owner.
ship of public utilities, and private control OF
personal property is in the air. and no party
that continues to oppose it can win in 1000

AN UNEXPECTED ADMISSION.

IN making Santiago an open port and adopt
ing the Spanish import tariff schedule, Presi-
dent Mckinley officially acknowledges that
American made goods need no protection and
the Dingley law is an economic falshood.
American goods have to pay the same duty to
get into Santiago as the goods OF other countries
do, and, so far as heard from, no protests have
been filed by our manufacturers. Spanish
duties are as high on all lines of goods and
wares, but the retail markets are substantially
the same as they are in America.
If, then, our manufacturers can pay high
duties for the privilege of entering the Santiago
market, where they sell at the same, or lower
prices than are obtained at home, the conclu-
sion is that the Dingley tariff law is robbing our
people in an amount equal to the difference in
prices between this country and Santiago, with
the tariff added. If our industries can pay as
high duties as Spain exacts and still have sat
isfactory profit, they can not deny that they are
charging Americans not less than 60 per cent
more than their goods net them in foreign
countries.
Had President Mckinley been very adroit he
would never have let the Dingley law have an
opportunity to show what hypocritical mon.
ster it is. A smarter man than Mckinley
would have made Santiago free port to Amer
lean goods and applied the Dingley tariff to
other countries. But he did not, and by his
own voluntary act he demonstrated beyond the
realm of argument that the Dingley law is for
no purpose other than to give our industrial
monopolies chance to charge Americans over
so per cent more for their products than they
sell them for abroad. An industry that can
pay Spanish duties, and still make money, is in
need of no protection. Mckinley has him
self given the strongest kind of reason why
high protection is scheme to rob his own
country,nen- Kansas City Times.

The treasury department has not yet had
time to get out the war bonds. The demands
for transfer for these bonds since the allotment
bare ten days ago-has been so great that the
department has been compelled to issue a GER
ti6cate which can be used in transferring the
bonds. "The people" bought the bonds in
horn. They filled out applications for banks
and capitalists, and now they must deliver the
goods-hence this big transfer movement.--

The Secretary of War.

We are personally acquainted with hve mem
