One of the advantage Of Ii.
|cense, say it's advocates, is that
you get control Of the business
and can mitigate it's evils. This
is the theory, but the fact is that
instead of municipalities getting
control Of the business, the busi-
ness almost universally controls
the municipality, and breeds one
corruption after another in the
body polite There is hardly a
city IN the country where this
truth has not again and again
been demonstrated, and where
the license laws are not openly
violated or secretly evaded. The
business is controlled only
when the controlling is satisfac-
tory to itself. The only way to
control it is to wipe it out and
give it no legal standing.

Union Temperance Meeting.
There will be union temper
ance meeting at the Congrega-
tional church on Sunday evening
April II, to be addressed by
Rev. O. Williams. All are cor
daily invited, regardless of
their individual views on prohi-
bition, license or temperance
matters.
The bald statement of license
advocates that under the license
system there has been less
drunkenness and disorder than
under the prohibitory system is
continually made, not only by
individuals but by the newspa-
pers in favor Of the liquor traffic.
The common sense and observa
tion Of all who h I'VE given the
matter any attention would cause
an unbiased person to reject the
position Us absurd, but we are
not left alone to common sense or
observation to show its utter fal.
,ity. The city police records
themselves bear testimony that
this we'll regulated saloon system
is mighty promoter of drunken
mess and disorder. For instance
an examination Of these records
in our own community shows
that during the twelve months
previous to the adoption OF tht
license system, or from May /
1896 to May /, 1897, the mum Der
OF arrests for dru lk and disor
derly conduct were limited x
NINE, while in the same months
OF the following year, or from
May /, 1897, to date, there We're
under the license system, THIRTY
arrests for the same ecause-mor,
than three times us many as III
the former year. These figures
can be verified by simple refer
ence to the police justice docket
and they give pain evidence t
all who are willing to accept facts
| But the figures themselves dc
not tell the whole story, for It is
well known that during year pre-
ceeding license Il determined
effort was made to discredit pro
hibition by starting blind pigs il
an attempt to prove that prohi bi
ton could not prohibit. So mucl
for the charge that this licens'
law is a promoter Of Temperance
)and good order. A reasonable
and honest investigation Of tn
financial side OF the question
} will show as conclusively that tn
revenue, to which our license
friends are apt to point with s.
much gusto, has just about a:
much to it as the other conten
tions. They will find that their lie
ensemoney is more than eaten u]
by additional expenses entaile'
upon the people by the increase'
crime and pauperism which al
ways follow IN the wake Of tn
saloon. When people wake up t
a thorough investigation of thi
liquor question they will find tha

they have been receiving as hus

HOW THEY CAN CORN.

something About the Growing Industry in
southern Vermont.
The corn canning factory of II. c. BaX-
ter Il Brother, which is situated on the
Vernon road about quarter of a mile
below the Boston & Maine engine house,
is very nearly completed and active oper-
atlons will be begun by the first of next
week. The buildings themselves are fin
ished and the machinery for canning the
corn is nearly all set up. The farmers
who are to supply the factory with corn
will begin to bring it in the last of this
week, as some of it is already fully grown.
About 100 people will be employed from
the first of next week until nearly the last
of september in husking the corn and
about 10 people will be employed in other
ways about the factory. Several can
makers have been at work for the past
few weeks and nearly 100000 cans have
been manufactured. In addition TO these
about 300 viii be bought making
total of 100000 cans, which is the amount
which Will he canned this season. The
process of canning is as follows After
the corn is husked it Is run through a
machine which cuts the kernels from the
cob 1t is then put through a sieve which
separate the silk from the corn which is
passed into a large tub where it is stirred
for some minutes. The corn is placed in
& machine which steams it, mikes It with
the syrup and puts it in cans. This ma
chine will fill about 5000 cans a day.
After the cans are filled they are sealed
by machine and placed on platform to
cool. When cooled the cans are placed in
retorts and the corn in them are cooked
for over an hour. The cans are tested
and piled in the storeroom. The factory
here, although not the lagest owned by
the BaXters, is one of the best equipped
ones, and should prove paying venture
to those who have invested money in it.

An Ola WATCHING place.

The oldest of Virginia watering

Indians in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin has at this late day about
5000 Indians of various tribes, all of
whom, with the exception of the Win
nebagos, wear practically the ordinary
clothing Of the white man. The Win
nebagos alone cling to the native mode
of living, occupying their wigwams in
even the coolest weather One-half of
the members of the other tribes, the
Milwaukee Sentinel says, speak enough
English for the purpose of ordinary
conversation, and more than one-half
read the English language, They are
fast learning to recognize the legality
of matrimonial relations. Eighty five
per cent. of them are engaged in pur-
suits of civilized life; ten per cent. in
hunting, fishing and root gathering
and the like; only five per cent. live ex-
clusively on government rations. Of
the $500 Oneidas, the 1900 Menomi-

London, Eng, Aug "a. - Great Britain,
Russia and Japan have entered the markets

inc PROVISIONS such as canned and
sailed meats, for use in their armies

NOR has been in circulation among the

is confirmed. What such an order as
probably will be placed by each coun.

the amount ordered by our Govern

PARADE OF THE FLEET.
a Dearening Welcome From the Narrows
to Grants Tomb aud Back.


New York, Aug 24-Never before
had the people Of New York seen
fleet like that which came in Satur-
day 1t comprised all the modern
ironclads of the United States Navy
except the monitors. The flags of two
Admrals and one Commodore were
flying from the trucks, and those three
flags were placed there directly as a
result of bravery i'm action in destroy
ing Cqrycrn's fleet and in conducting
the naval campaign against the enemy
in Cuban waters In 1893 when the
American part Of the combined feet Of
nations entered New York harbor,
there were two Admiral's flags flying
from the ships, but Saturday there was
Ia Commodore's flag in addition.
As they passed IN review-New York,
Iowa Indiana, Brooklyn, Mass8chu-
sets, Oregon and TeXas-they were
chcercd from the shores and the boats
10y more people than Spain has left
alive in Cuba. Not only did New York
turn out but for miles around people
conyerged upon the city to gather on
the shores Of the North River, and
that not for an event which had been
determined upon long before and pre-
pared for by excursions and special
trains, but a parade that at best was
dependent upon weather which might
well have delayed the expected fleet.
Not the least significant feature of the
day is that never before has such an
event heen so promptly begun and
completed. The navy was on time.
