'Rah for Vermont I

Vermont in maple sugar stands first
in the Union, making nearly 100000
pounds annually. More butter per
COW is made in Vermont than in any
other state-more pounds OF wool per
sheep are clipped than in any other
state and more bushels of potatoes are
raised per acre than in any other state

No law can force the people to sup
port the proposition that 1.-THE saloon
must GO Education alone can teach
them that the saloon is an unnecessary
evil and can be dispensed with. In
temperate, however, not the saloon, is
the great evil, and this, too, can be
conquered only by education, never by
law; suitable laws may help, but his
tory has not shown, the Vermont law
TO be a suitable law Ludlow Tribune.
We cannot fully agree with the above
While education in its broad sense has
done and is doing a great deal to ban
ish intemperance, it is right and prop
er that it should not be left to do it
alone. The trouble is not wholly that
people do not know the evils of intern
perance and that education only is nee
essary to reveal this to them, when
they will voluntarily let liquor alone.
A greater danger is that, knowing
it full well, they are unable to avoid it,
being in the midst of temptation. The
law that will permit the least tempta-
ton of this kind is the best law, to 90
hand in hand with temperance educa-
ton, lest the effect of the latter be al
most wholly lost. Even license recog-
nizes this, for it limits the number of
open saloons that may be established.
The saloon and intemperance are pref
ty closely united, and the suppression
of the one has a very similar effect on
the other.

TO STOP IMMORAL SHOWS.
Christian Workers Of the City Con
fer with City Officials.

A committee from the Christian En-.
deavor city union. consisting of A. r.
Dunning and Attorneys J. w. Brown
ing and Charles Daniels, and Attor-
ney F. +. Beers. representing the
Mems Union, of Green Ridge. waited
upon Mayor Moir yesterday for the
purpose of having him close the Gaiety
theater on account Of alleged inde-
cent and immoral performances given
there.
The mayor referred the gentlemen
to City Solicitor Vosburg for the pur-
pose of getting his views on the legal
aspect Of the case The committee
was in favor Of having the mayor or
der the chief Of police to take sum-
mary action in the matter by ringing
down the curtain the first time any
immoral act was given.
Mr.. Vosburg advised them, how
ever. that the surer and better way
to do would be to proceed through
the regular legal channels by hav-
ing a warrant sworn out for the pro-
prietor or by obtaining an injunction
from court restraining the presenta-
tion of any productions there what
ever.
The committee finally decided that
this was the best plan and are de-
termincd that the next lewd perfor-
nance that is given at the house will
be stopped Immediately.
Manager Walsh's lease expires on
April and as he has made no ef-
fort to renew 1t, the theatre will be
closed at that time.

Attorney John T. Martin was yes-
terday awarded a verdict of S55,500 by
the jury before which his trespass suit
against the Delaware and Hudson
Canal company was tried. Martin
sued for 100000.
When court opened at o'clock Judge

noon came into court and reported a
verdict Of $55.500 for the plaintiff. Aft.
er the jury went out ex-Judge Jessup.
one of the attorneys for the defense,
got from the court permission to file
reasons for a new trial within twenty

by the jury in reaching verdict. On
the first ballot after they retired the
jurors favored various amounts Of
damages, ranging from 100000 to
$4,000.
In case Judge Burlington refuses to
grant a new trial the defendants have
the privilege of taking an appeal to the

this court are George Shiras, the Unit
ed States supreme court and the dis

can go to the .nited States supreme
court. provided the court of appeals
permits an appeal to the higher tri.
bunal.
Reasons for new trial were filed
yesterday with Judge Burlington in the
case of Calvin Bruce Walker, of New
