and sale of liquors. We doubt if the
coming legislature Or any legislature
to come will undertake to pass any
law allowing the people to vote on
this proposition. Vermont voters are
in large majority in favor of the ex-
| term nation of the rum habit and
consequ emily will never allow liquor
to be sold over an open bar if they
can help it. In section of the Rut-
land circular mention is made of a
recent State Press Association meet
ing, members of which made strong
efforts to buy whiskey in New York
state and were only able to get a
drink in Vermont. We doubt the
accuracy of this statemen4 and re-
gard it as an insult to the men belong
in to the association.
The fact stands apparent to all who
lave given this matter any thought
that those who favor high license, the
majority of them, are men who do
not care to help the state in its,rep-
utation for law and order, and the
real influence behind this scheme are
those men who expect to be directly
benefited by the traffic in spirituous
liquors. There must be some gain
for if there was not, money would not
be spent in this direction.
Keep temptation out of the counties
and good men will not fall, but as
sure as such a measure should be
adopted or laws made toward allow
ing towns in the state to have bars
run openly, so sure will misery and
trouble and disgrace come to honor
ed families. The writer has lived for
several years in one of the largest
beer consuming cities of the country
and he has taken especial pains
at different times to trace the fall of
some good and honored men, and in
the majority of cases disgrace has
been brought upon an innocent fam
lily through liquor and nothing else.
The fact that "the law does not pro-
hibit" as used by some, is not an ar
gument in favor of high license. There
never was a law made but which has
been broken and so will be until the
end of time. But the people of Yer
mont should be proud of the fact that
ours is a prohibition state, and feel
safe where laws protect their homes
from the iniquities which come from
a rum stricken community.

made up of the sons of the sires that
fought at Gettysburg, Cedar Creek,
and almost every other eastern battle
field of the rebellion, and are heirs of
the martial glory of the state. It irks
them to lie ingloriously in camp while
the comrades, on land and sea, are
winning imperishable renown. They
pray for the resurrection of Sedge-
wick's order, and Senator Proctor has
presented their petition at Washing
ton. Some unpropitious influence has
come between the Vermont troops
and their aspirations. Some malign
fate has followed them from the be-
ginning. There are hints and open
accusations as to the location and ma
ture Of the incubus that has withheld
them from following "where glory
waits,n and where their traditions
and their natural impulses impel
them to go-to the fore front of the
Of the battle. If Senator Proctor's
powerful hand has laid the demon,
who shall interpose to again enthrall
men hungry for action? That has not
been the way of Vermont nor is it now
Vermont's way Wdtchnan.

: There was great rejoicing in the Ha-
waian islands over the annexation
news. An elaborate program of exer-
cises at the raising of the American
flag was prepared at Honolulu. Steam
ers from other islands all report an
enthusiastic reception of the annexa-
ton news and scenes similar to those
which occurred in Honolulu. Prepa-
rations were at once made in all the
towns to officially celebrate the rails
ing of the stars and stripes by Admir-
al Miller in Honolulu. Spectators are

mitted to the bar on day following the
close of the examination. Twelve
subjects will be treated. Six will be
for written examinations and six
given orally. Those taking the ex
aminations must be registered and
must have been students for three
years. It is thought that between Is
and 20 students will take examina
ton. There are about five in camp
at Chickamauga who would take the
examination it they could be here, but
even if they return before October it
is not probable that they will be al
lowed to try for admission this year.
Senator Redfeld Proctor was in
Burlington recently on his way to at
tend ihe funeral of T. Hull Page, a son
of ex-Gov. Page who died in Mexico.
Senator Proctor discussed matters
pertaining to the war with a Free
Press reporter. In regard to the dis
position Of the captured territory he
said that those questions would have
to be considered congressionally and
that he had not given the matter suf-
ficient thought to express an opinion.
He spoke in glowing terms of Dewey,
saying that the absence of the pro-
noun in all his reports to the govern
ment was a point which other army
and navy officers might we'll culti-
vate. The war, he thought, would
not be greatly prolonged, as Spain
can gain nothing by fighting and if a
victory should be won in some way it
would be Of no material benifit to her.
Of the peace terms he would say
nothing, except that they would be
arranged when Spain was willing to
stop fighting in hopeless cause. He
believed the Vermont regiment
would take part in the Porto Rican
campaign. Senator Proctor, who is
as close to the administration as any
man, is not troubled about the dis
position of the territory we shall ac-
quire during the war. In regard to
Hawaii he said that the island was
not in the same class with the Philip
pines and was largely governed by
New Englsnders. They send their
children to New England to be edu-
Gated. The island will probably not
be admitted to statehood, but will be
allowed territorial representation.
At the end Of the war Spain will, he
thinks, have lost all her possessions
upon this hemisphere.

VERMONTS TROOPS.

The war is not yet over and the
need of military service, on large
scale, is not likely to end when peace
with Spain is concluded. If Vermont's
regiment of troops enlisted for two
years, is not wanted in Porto Rico for
fighting, it may be wanted for garri-
son or other duty incident to military
occupation of the island. If the Ver
mont troops are not wanted in Porto
Rico they may be required in Cuba, or
with Dewey in the Philippines. The
boys would go, eagerly, when and
where called, and remain to the last
minute of their enlistment, and very
likely many of them would enlist
again if the full purpose of their first
period of service had not been accom-
pills he'd =, -.: X =. II !. -
In response to the natural longing
of the Vermont regiment to see SER
vice, Senator Proctor had employed
his influence to procure its assign
ment to duty in Porto Rico. To this
ex -Govenor Woodbury. 'protests'' in
long telegram to Sec. Alger and in
another asks Senator Proctor to with
draw his re quest to the Secretary of
War to order the regiment to the
front, "unles there is fighting to be
DONE" Mr.. Woodbury. seems to be
under the impression that the senator
is trying to arrange an Excursion"
for the boys, and, forgetting that it is
now four years ago since he was gov
ernor and spoke by authority, inter-
poses veto of the proposed move
nfept. The Free Press is willing to
have the Vermont troops cut to peices
as the rough riders were in front of
Santiago, ''but our people cannot
want to have them shipped simply to
do garriso duty" in Porto Rico. There
is probably wide difference of opin-
ion as to what tour people want"
It would not be surprising if g our peo
pie" were polled on the subject they
would be found to be quite unanimous
il the expression of the desire that
the national government be not inter-
fered with in its ordering of troops to
PortoRico or any other part of the
theater of war. "Our people, might,
further, have so clear an idea of SOL
dierly duty that they would want
their military representative to obey
orders and go to Porto Rico, or any
other place, to fight or to do garrison
duty, as they were commanded.
A striking characte ristic of the Ver-
mont soldier in the civil war was ex-
emplified by the famous and oft quot
ed order of Gen. Sedgewick, in a great
emergency, "Put the Vermonters
ahead and keep the ranks well closed
up." The regiment at Chicka mauga is

ABOUT HIGH LICENSE.

Efforts are being made by the liq-
uor men of the state to create
sympathy for high license, and pam
phlets are being sent to citizens Of
different towns conveying their side
of the liquor question, in hopes that
the legislature will take the matter
up and pass bill to allow the peo-
pie to vote on whether we shall have
open bars. 1t is rather bold effort
on the part of some, and as the COM
mittee or whoever they are who are
endeavoring to stir up sympathy
with their movement, request senti-
ments on the proposal, and who do
not give their names but only their
post office box in Rutland, it would
appear that they themselves are a
little ashamed of the idea. The cir
cular includes testimonials from some
of the prominent men within the
state who are disposed to submit
the question to direct vote of the
people, and who we should judge
might favor high license.
Vermont has done very well and is
doing very well now under the pres
ent laws govern ing the distribution

The war revenue act is producing
results which surprise its promoters.
During the first fifteen business days
of July the revenue from the war tax
averaged 81, $50, GOO per day. Should
this average be maintained, the an
nual revenue from this service would
exceed $3.50, 200, 600, while the trainers
of the bill expected only s15O,00O,o00.
The individual citizen hardly feels the
burden of additional taxation.

MORE, which same material. l must tell
you, is used with excellent effect for the
high collar, the revers, and the cuffs
with an edging of the braid to stand out
against its pure Wilderness.
The young lady in the centre displays
20 advantage the new idea, which is to be
adopted extensively by our American
girls. The coat is of plain red cloth, and
the circular skirt q deep rich plaid con-
tanning blue. green, and a few bars or
red. Many of these skirts are cut on the
bias and finished like this one, with a
hem and three rows OF stitching. The
becoming Alpine has the top of its crown
sliced off sideways. in place of the usual
indentation. A band of Batavia, tied in
a double bow. holds several Of the now
Ubiquitous quilts.
A black tie gives the sombre color

The third 'cyclist wears a French cos
tune imported by one OF our swell mo-
distes for a customer who believes French
taste preferable to that of England or
, America. 1t Is a tan cloth fitted closely
to the figure and fastened by straps and
| buckles across the bust. Revers of white
cloth and a turquoise crava give an eX-
quisite becomingness 10 the costume,
which goes far to make us forgive its
very short skirt.
Speaking of skirts, It must not be for
gotten tina divided skirts are a thing Of
the past. The circular skirt has taken
it's place, and is much more convenient.
1t is also modest when properly cut. The
sailor hat accompanying this costume is
entirely French, and considered the only
proper thing for cycling war in France.
Plain sailor hats will be worn here this
year, also with the addition Of a sepa-
rate plaid band.
Here are several costumes shown by
one OF our largest dry-goods houses: A
blue cloth with circular skirt; double
breasted cutaway coat with strap seams
and gilt buttons; a tan covert cloth, the
skirt finished with hem and five rows of

cut laced shoes are lighter in color than
last year. and have the coin or bulldog

They are made from willow calf or Rus

are the novelties and. OF course, more
becoming than u's ordinary shoe.
For wear beneath the circular cycling
skirt is a novelty which will, we pre-
dict. meet with delighted acceptance. It
is a combination OF knickerbockers and
underskirt. To a very deep-ftted yoke
is ADDED a moderately full pair OF bloom
ers drawn In below the knee by an elias
tic. Above these and added at the same
seam is a full divided skirt, open on the

NEW YORK. April S0.-Once upon a

Of no Importance: now she is a power in
the land; inventors rack their brains for
her benefit; the leading firms vie with
each other in providing her with smart
costumes. and altogether, she is made so
much Of that It must be difficult for her
TO remember that society once was not
quite sure whether It would not be adj
visable TO pass her by on the other side.
Now, If society does pass by, she is on
her own bicycle. and wears a stunning
costume built by a tailor and a hat which
IS not very must less trimmed than her
walking hat.
This advance, in the becomingness Of
Cycling millinery, is due to English in
