COUNTERFEIT QUARTERS.
The Small Change Being Flooded in Ben
nington County.

nington County.
Bennington has again become field
for the operations of counterfeters
and it becomes the duty of every ctl-
zen to be on the outlook for "the queer"
and, if any is detected, to make 1t known
to the officers of the law. The only de-
nomination used by the counterfeters
seems to be quarter dollars and already
not a few of them are in circulation
Notwithstanding the fact that all pos
sible efforts are being made to take
them up.
C. L. Hudson was among the first to
detect the imposition and it is due to his
efforts that the fraud has become public.
A few mornings since a stranger of
about medium height, dark complexion
and plainly dressed in working mans
clothes, entered the store and called for
five cents worth of candy, rendering in
payment a quarter. Receiving his
change he pocketed it and walking
slowly from the store disappeared
around the corner. 1t was not until
he was gone from sight that the falsity
of the coin was detected. Deputy
oueTll NASH was lInuneuldlely uOJlHeu
and he discovered that this man and
another one a little older had visited
several places In town buying a few
cents worth and paying for it with the
counterfeit quarters. Both men left
town together presumably bound for
Hoosick Falls where, without doubt,
they intend to work the same game.
District Attorney Martin is expected in
town and it is hoped that the com
blned forces of the law may succeed
in placing them behind the bars. The
counterfeit coins are about fifteen grains
lighter and very little smaller than the
legal currency. The looks and ring are
fairly good although the milling around
the edges and some of the printed letters
are very pOOr.-Banner.

THE SPOlLS SYSTEM.


IrOI. ID MctrreEor Means NTlNeS HIS views
Before Boston Audience.
The following account of a lecture by
Prof d. McGregor Means, whose sum-
mer home is in Mddlebury, appears in
the Boston Herald of Dec. 2:
David McGregor Means delivered the
fifth in his series of eight lectures be-
fore the Lowell Institute on "The Es-
sentals of Government by the People"
The speaker dwelt upon the spOis sys-
tenn and legislative corruption as nee
essary accompaniment of the American
system of party power, illustrating his
arguments with quiet humor.
"Wbile the end of government should
be the general welfare" said Mr. Means,
"there is always the temptation to hitch
the little wagons of private interest to
the chariot of state. TO change the
figure, the ship of state is sometimes
so much impeded by these barnacles of
corruption that it is a question whether
the remedy of government is not worse
than the disease of anarchy.
"'rhe struggle to secure for single
class or for individuals the funds of the
state is like the pressure of water
against the sides of vessel. This ap-
pears in tariff legislation, where farm
ers object, not to the plunderng of pub
lie funds, but that they are left out of the
deals. So board of agriculture is main
taned at a cost of several million dollars
V ar, to grow flowers for Washington
officials, secure doubtful statistics and
send worthless seeds to people who do
not want them"
The speaker then showed how cOrrup-
tion creeps into legislation. The basis
of diplomacy is compromise. To get a
little that he wants, a man must give up
much that he wants. From voting for a
bill that you do not quite approve, in or
der TO secure some ones help on a bill
that you think of great public import
ance, it is comparatively easy step TO
help any man who will help you in
your private and selfish schemes. So we
have now come to ask when a bill is
passed sin what interest was this law
enacted?'
Macaulay's prophecy of evil to this
country, when at some time an unthink-
ing mob should secure the ascendancy,
does not now seem as absurd as it did
when spoken. Who can say what might
have resulted from the Chicago riots had
some common politician been in the
presidential chair?

CONSTITUTION OF THE EPISCO-
PAL CHURCH.
After nearly six years of labor t

After nearly six years of labor the
joint commission appointed by the gen
eral convention of the Episcopal
Church, in 1892, for the purpose of re-
vising the constitution and canons of
the church, has completed its task, and
it submitted yesterday copies of its re.
pors to the delegates to the general
convention to be held in Washington
utxt October.
The joint commission consists Of the
Bishops of Albany. Kentucky, Chica-
90, Qaincv, New York and MARYLAND, +,
the Rev. E A. Hoffman, Rev. DR.. F. S
Stone, D.. Richards, Rev. Dr. Hall
Harrison, Rev. p Davenport, Rev.
H Eccleston and the Rev. DR.. William
r Huntington aud Messrs. Liehtner,
Bradford, Swayne, Saunders, Beall,
Miller and Ladley.
The document is perhaps one Of th'
most important in the history Of the
American Episcopal Church, and its
r, visions are likely to excite 40 end
f discussion in the st sions Of the ger
.rsl conference before they will be
pllced on the salute books of the
cnurch; in fact, opposition 10 several
o. the proposed ensctments was made

One of the subjects which is likely to
.Ir up str fe in The church at large is
he revision Of the canon on marriage
which forbids the marriage of either
party to a divorce during the life lime
Of the other. This is opposed TO tie
existing law of the church in this cOun-,
try, which permits the marriage of the
innocent parry in divorce for the
cause of adultery.
To the provisions of section three,
prohibiting any minister from marrying
divorced persons, Bishop Potter, Rev.
DIR Eccleston, William Liehtner, Frank
Miller and Rev. DE-. Huntington have
already entered their dissent and rec
ommend that the section shall be made
to prohibit the marriage OF any person
who has divorced husband or wife
living. This shall not apply to the in
nocent party in divorce suit on bis or

a mother and her baby can have lots of
fun together if they both are we'll and strong
and hearty. Health makes them good

motherhood are lost if the mother is weak

Mothers of young children are subject to
