BOTTLE DRINKING.

The ST. Adams Messenger in closing
an article entitled course of Bottle
Drinking' says: cit all comes down to
the old, old idea that whatever is for
bidden will certainly be INDUCED in,
and at any cost. Liquor drinking,
driven to last resort, becomes a vice
nourished all the more by it's own
secrecy. The bottle is running more
young men in Vermont to-day than
the bar ever did. The question comes
ious to put stop to intemperance.
Is a law whose enforcement causes
these conditions the proper law, after
all? Is there not some more
practical legislation that can take its
place?" The Messenger is antagonistic
to the present law and favors a Ii
cense law we believe because it sim
cerely believes that the license law
will be better for the state than
prohibition law which in some Sec
tions is but partly enforced. In this
section Of the state the law is better
enforced and is, we think, in strong
favor with the masses Of the people.
It is true that it is not enforced to the
extent that there is no rum drank
and no law ever can be as long as
rum is made. In the places where
the law is being condemned it is only
partly enforced for if the public
would take hold and enforce it as
thorough as possible there would be
less of the bottle drunkenness. We do
not believe that the enforcement of
the law causes people to use liquor
because Of their anxiety to do that
which is forbidden any more than
the enforcement of the law against
theft makes thieves. No law can en-
tirely do away with any vice as long
as there is any inclination to do
wrong and as there are many more
people with an appetite for rum than
there are with a disposition to do
wrong in other ways naturally the
prohibition law is broken oftener
than many others. We do not think |
that the prohibitorY law can be en-
forced in the larger villages and cities
as readily as in the smaller towns
and as it's popularity, like other laws,
depends on its being enforced it will
never give the satisfaction in the |
larger places that it gives where it
can be more readily. However if |
the law is enforced as strictly as pos
sible it will do away with the bottle
drinking to such an extent that there
will be but little call for change.

Another despatch has been re-
ceived from Minister Conger, who is
in Pekin, in which he states that the
Chinese troops are constantly firing
on them with small arms, but that the
artillery fire has ceased. He states
that the Chinese officials are urging
the ministers to leave the city but
that they feel there would be no
chance of reaching the coast alive,
and that if they are to be saved it can
only be done by the army cutting it's
way through to Pekin. The passage
of the allied army is being hotly con-
tested. A battle was fought short
distance from Tien-T Tsin last week, in
which the loss to the allies in killed
and wounded was about 1900. The
Americans failed to reach the front

VIM. j. Bryan a nd Adlai Stevenson
W ere notified Of their nomination by
the democratic party for president
and vice president last week. In re-
plying to the notification committee
Bryan spoke at some length and
strange as it may seem the great sill
yer champion did not touch in any
manner on this issue which he forced
the democratic convention to adopt
and without which he declared he
would not accept the nomination.
For four years Bryan has harped on
the silver issue only to drop it at this
time. In his speech he discussed
imperialism as the paramount issue
of the day and opposed the repubi-
can policy at every point. If elected
he would call an extra session of con-

regarding the Philippines. His policy
would be to give them self govern

CIRCUITS OLEO BILL.

Hon. T. NJ. Deal, manager of the
Franklin County Creamery associa-
ton. has received a letter from Chas.
Knight, secretary of the National
Dairy union of Chicago, in regard to
the Grout oleo bill now before con-
gress. Mr.. Deal is devoting consider
able aUtntion to the bill and is work
ing hard to stimulate a sentiment
favorable to its passage, as men inter-
ested in the creamery business all over
the country are doing.
Here is the text of the letter:
CHICAGO, ILL. July II, 1900.
T. NJ. Deal, Esq, st. Albans, VT:
My Dear Sir: Replying to your
favor of the 9th inst, would state
that the National Dairy union is at
work every day upon the Grout bill,
and is leaving no stone unturned in
an effort to hold what strength we
now have in congress, and to gain
more between now and the time that
the measure will come up for con-
sideration on December s.
You ask if it will pass the senate.
OF course this cannot be definitely
answered. However, we believe it
will, provided it is favirably reported
by the committee considering it, and
we believe that the agricultural COM
mittee will report it favorably. We
are in much better position in the
senate now than we would have been
had the bill passed the house and been
sent over there at the end Of the long
session, because the measure might
have been sent to some unfriendly
committee, and be smothered at the
short session, as we had done no edu-
cational work in the senate, not know
ing when the house bill would get
over. Now we have several months
in which to do this work before the
bill comes over, after which time that
body will be ready to receive and
treat it according to the interest
manifested by the farmers in its pass
age. It will certainly pass the house
when voted upon.
desire to say in this connection
that no other bill before congress has
had better direction in the house than
the Grout bill. Gen. Grout worked
on this day and night. No hour was
too late for him to go forth to do bat
tie for this cause, and no weather too
hot or too cold to keep him away from
his post of duty when the interests of
the dairymen were at stake. I never
saw man more dee ply interested in
anything, nor did ever know of any
representative of the people devoting |
so much time to any one measure as |
Mr.. Grout put in upon this bill, and |
only such able, wise and aggressive |
leadership could have brought matters |
to such successful conclusion in the |
house, as the bill is conceded to have |
been the fiercest fought of the session.
The officers of the National Dairy |
union will be on hand early in Decem-
Der to look after the interests of the
dairymen.
Respectfully yours.

Secretary National Daiay Union.

TALKED ON CHARITIES.
SECRETARY JACKSON RETURNS
FROM CEDAR RAPIDS.

Secretary jackson returned yesterday
from Cedar Rapids, To-. where he at
tended the state conference Of charities
and correction. A general discussion Of
penal and charitable methods brought
out one thing. Mr.. Jackson says. and
that Is, the utility Of state board OF
corrections and charities as q consulting
board for county commissioners and Of
ficials contemplating the contraction Of
jails and locks
Iowa has a state board Of control
which is covering the field, but Is young
in existence, and this fact is very mark
ed from the general diversion in all
the penal institutions. No two appear
to be alike and few examplify any very
we'll defined ideas of construction.
Former Secretary Of the Minnesota
Board Fl. Hart. now secretary of the
Illinois Child Saving society, addressed
the meeting on his work. Generally
speaking, the conference was very sue
cessfuI. Mr.. Jackson read a paper upon
charity organization In cities of from
1900 to 5000 population.
