Town Liquor Agents.

States Attorney Robb OF Windham
county submits the following for the infor-
nation of the Legislative readers OF the
DAILY JOURNAL.
Under the present law town liquor
agents are simply required to conform to
such rules as the commissioner sprescribes.
The result is that the agent Is practically
under no restraint and sells to whomsoever
he pleases. Sometimes the purchaser of
liquor is required to sign small printed
slip upon which are the words, medicinal,
mechanical, chemical" He is told to draw
a line through two Of the words and leave
the third which is sup osed to contain all
the formation required.
Sometimes these slips are preserved and
sometimes not. They can easily be changed
and are more frequently lost. II complaint
is made under Section 4455 against person
for procuring liquor by false representa-
tions the prosecuting officer has no evidence
upon which to secure a conviction however
guilty the accused may be.
Under the proposed law eUery sale would
appear in the book required for that pur-
pose, together with the date OF sale, the
quantity and kind Of liquor purchased and
the specific purpose for which purchased.
1t can readily be seen that this record
would act as a restraint upon the agent and
furnish ample evidence upon which to con-
vct those guilty of obtaining liquor by
false presentations.
This record would also compel the agent
to account to the town for all the liquor
coming into his agency and would do away
with the wholesale treating and giving
away of town liquor which is now in vogue
throughout the State. 1t would in this way
save the towns hundreds of dollars each
year.
A careful reading Of the present and pre-
posed law will convince the unprejudiced
mind that the proposed amendment should
pass"

Some Notable VermOnters.

Hon. Edward S. Isham Of Chicago, the
orator of the Historical Society tonight, Hon.
Norman Williams, also of Chicago, and Hon.
B. F. Fifeld of Montpelier, we're Vermont
boys and young attorneys together, a genera
ton or more ago. All went to Chicago at
about the same time. Mr.. Isham and Mr.
Williams remained, and in the metropolis of
the prairie State achieved distinction in their
profession, in politics and society, and with
fame and honors came wealth. Mr.. Fifeld
returned to Vermont, and, pursuing the same
end reached the same goal among the hills and
valleys of his native State. Mr.. Williams will
be to-day the guest of Mr.. Fifeld, and both
will be interested listeners tonight to Mr..
Isham's address on Ethan Allen. Mr.. Will
lams is notable figure among the eminent
lawyers of Chicago, leader in politics and
society. He is son of Norman Williams of
Woodstock, Secretary of the Vermont Senate
two generations ago, and whose portrait now
hangs in the Senate chamber above the presi-
dont's chair. The country has been recently
interested in the marriage in London of Gen.
Wesley Merritt and Miss Williams of Chicago
The bride of the ommander-in-chief of the
American army in the Philippines is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. Williams who to-day revists the
State of his nativity. The reunion of this trio
of bright lawyers under the circumstances of
their careers, is an event of rare interest and
enjoyment to them personally.

tatives, Tonight, Subject-Ethan Allen.
Hon. Edward S. Isham will address the
Vermont Historical Society, in the hall of the
House of Representatives, this, Wednesday
evening, at half past seven o'clock. Mr. Ish-
am is a native of Vermont, a son of Judge
Isham, formerly of the Supreme Court of this
State. Ethan Allen, name ever dear to the
sons of the Green Mountains, at home and the
world over, is the subject of Mr.. Isham's adj
dress Many people have discoursed on this
subject, but none so competent to do it justice,
to treat it with eloquence and discrimination
as Mr.. Isham.
Ordinarily the announcement of an address
before the historical society excites hardly a
languid interest. The occasion is suggestive
of eep, of the torpor that overlook Rip Van
Wrinkle. The notice seems to presuppose that
the discourse will pertain to the discovery of
some fossil remains, like those of the inland
whale in the cabinet at the Capitol or to some
doings more or less mythical in the valley of
the Wnooski or the Otter Creek. The adj
dress of Mr.. Isham, however, is likely to be a
bugle note instinct with life and interest, sec
ond only to Mr.. Depew's famous address in
this city two years ago. Members of the Gen
eral Assembly, the people of Montpelier and
the State at large who attend and listen, will
hear one of those addresses that are the mem
DRY of lifetime, and they will have a quicken
ing of their patriotism and their admiration
for their States typical hero.
