A raid directed by Frank Moss, ex-
police commissioner, and Capt. F.
Norton Goddard, Republican district
leader in New York last week result
ed in the arrest of the West Side
Policy King" and the seizure of a
quantity of papers, documents and let
ters, which show the extent of the
business and the amount Of the profits.
The letters involve several prominent
Tammany politicians. Mr.. Moss says
the policy king has cleared 100000
in few years from this form of gam
bling. The New York World says
that receipts from the gamblers S
chain of policy shops amounted to
$4,000 a week. or $S,64O,OOO year.
1t is estimated that the foolish dupes
who play policy received 100000 in
prizes, or 20 per cent of what they
paid, that $1,S2O,OOO, or one-half the
receipts went for expenses, salaries
and profits, and that $1,OOO,OOO was
devoted to protection or blackmail
paid to politicians and bosses.

officer for the glorious victory which
resulted in the destruction of the
Spanish ships.". The question as to
who was in command at Santiago was
not considered by the court, and tes-
timony in regard to it was repeatedly
excluded. Schley was the senior Off
Ger of the feet some four and one-half
hours, during which time the Spanish
fleet was destroyed, but he gave no
orders which were noticed by the
other officers, with the possible excep-
tion of those of the Oregon, and the
Oregon was already following the
course indicated by Schley's signals
when the signals appeared. The
court of claims had already settled
the question of who was commander
at Santiago, and it's decision is op-
posed to this gratuitous opinion which
Dewey gives.
A casual reading of the report may
give the impression that Schley has
gained something by the inquiry but
closer examination will show there
is but little comfort or consolation
for him in it. Admiral Schley has
presented to Secretary Long his pro
test against the approval Of the ma
jority report of the court of inquiry
and his counsel has requested to be
allowed to make answer to Admiral
SIMPSONS protest against the minor
ity finding of Admiral Dewey.

Justice Takes an Inning.

It's a long lane that has no turning.
After years of fragrant defiance of
public sentiment. and of infliction of
untold injury on the Brattleboro COM
munity, with three or four deaths
within the past twelvemonth trace
able, as is believed, to rum sold there,
the Island brewery" is placed under
the ban of injunction proceedings. No
similar action has ever been the occa-
sion of so much rejoicing in this vii
lage as has this.
1t is not to be taken for granted,
however, that this is the end of the
whole matter. and that the brewery
nuisance is done away with for good.
If the injunction is violated, the guilty
men can be imprisoned for contempt
of court-and they will be-but it will
require constant vigilance for the per
manent protection of our people
against this pest-hole, for it cannot be
foretold what new tatics its promoters
may devise.
But there is this suggestion: Under
this action. and under the action of
our Windham county court at it's re-
cent term, the liquor selling evil in
Brattleboro and it's environs has re-
ceived such a setback and been put
under such a ban as has not been the
case before in many years. The ser.
pent's head has been scotched, and ii
now depends on the vigorous and &C
lively expressed sentiment of the town
to see that it is not allowed to be rails
ed again. So far the burden of work
and expense has been born by few
individuals. There ought now to be
organized action to see that the work
is continued. A suitable number OF
our representative men ought to
pledge themselves openly and firmly

There are, happily, very few editors
who will sell their columns to a poll
tician for a money consideration, and
fewer still who, having done so, will ad-
vertise their venality as this Vermont
man did when he went into court.
But the ethical standards in the poll
tics and journalism of Vermont are
notoriously low. 1t must be remem-
bered that it is the banner Republi-
can state. indianapolis Sentinel,
Dem.
The Sentinel knows more about the
canals of Mars than it does about the
ethical standards in the politics and
journalism of Vermont The Sentinel
apparently sought to make a little
political capital, but did not realize
it was monkeying with boomerang.
The venal publisher who proclaimed
his shame in court happens to be one
of the Sentinel's political bed fellows,
and not Republican.

to see that the present status is main
tanned. There need be in this no per-
sonal element-no expression of vim
dictiveness toward any Individual.
The movement ought to be simply and
only for the public good-for the pro-
lection of the public morals. of our
boys, of defenceless women and chill
dren.
The evil that has been done by the
Island brewery in the last ten years,
and by the liquor business in this vii
lage as a natural and inevitable Sc
quence, cannot be undone, but we
can, if we will. prevent its continu-
ance. Let an aroused and individual
ly expressed public sentiment do the
work. The work is for every RESPONSE
BILE man. 1t is your work and mine.
1t does not devolve upon some one else
to do it all. Take a mans share of it
in thought and in speech and in act.

The Court of Inqulry's Decision

The Court of Inquiry's Decision.
The verdict of the Schley court of
inquiry settles nothing. 1t simply
adds to a controversy already bitter,
Popular judgment on it runs from con-
demnation to vindication, warm ap-
proval, with all conceivable varia-
tions; but turned in any light the
finding is unsatisfactory. 1t has
shown conclusively that Schley was
brave in battle. Few have ever ques-
toned this. 1t is easier to be brave
than to maintain poise and judgment
under the stress of directing large and
momentous undertakings. 1t was in
this latter particular that many, in
Guiding the heads of the navy de-
partment, believed Schley failed, and
Admirals Benham and Ramsey con-
cur in the opinion by censuring
Schley on II points. Admiral Dewey,
as president of the board, signs this
report, and then files an addendum, in
which he endorses Schley on four Of
the counts. This apparently makes
Dewey agree to the findings of fact
and to concur with Benham and Ram
sey on seven counts-including the
most serious ones, which pronounced
Schley's conduct to be characterized
by "vaccillation, dilatoriness and lack
of enterprise" and with forwarding
inaccurate and misleading reports" I"
The most remarkable thing about
the report is Dewey's play to the gal
leries in saying that Schley was in
absolute command and entitled to
the credit due to such commanding

The Christmas Tree Vandalism.

The Phoenix wishes to call attention
editorially to this paragraph sent last
week by it's South Windham corre-
spondent:
There is one factor in cutting evergreen
trees for the New York market that has
been overlooked in all discussions that I
have seen, and that is that those who
cut them cut only the top of the trees,
cutting from one to ten feet from the
ground leaving the limbs below where
the tree is cut off to grow, covering the
ground and preventing anything else to
grow, which is positive damage. If those
owning trees will observe in how short
time these little trees will produce tim
ber through 5udicious trimming 1t would
do more than anything else to correct
the evil. The practice of selling them as
shrubs is like killing the goose that laid
the golden egg, for on very much of the
land that grows spruces nothing else will
grow.
This correspondent is a man of in
telligence, who knows what he is
talking about. He was born and rails
ed among our Vermont hills. His
statement shows that there is moth
ing whatever to the claim that the
JSNAo SRA USS0 anu III . orc oOlu DO-
cause the farmers want to get rid of
them to clear and restore their pas
lures. The trees are sold, with no
knowledge of their actual value. be-
cause there is a present paltry dollar
in them, without regard to their
future worth and possibilities. The
vandalism is worse than we supposed,
or at first charged. It gives one the
| shudders to think of the old hills and
pastures covered with the desolation
of these sawed-off skeletons.

You are guessing about something

be construed, twisted or distorted into
the statement made by the Age.

him. The neighbors are highly indignant
at the conduct of the fool.

which he tore to pieces. Two men are

WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

True to each trust and best when trusted most,
For country first, though facing peace or war,
Making, in peace, its greatness greater still,
While yet in war his young but manly breast
On many blood soaked, death-strewn battlefield
Was barred to shield nations heart from harm.
This man of God, born fit to lead the way
And lift mankind to nobler, lofier heights,
Alas, by anarch'S poisoned fang lies slain!
And when he fell, 10, in remotest lands
Were mingled tears and solemn, tolling bells
Proclaiming anguish equal to own.
That bameless life, that apt, sagacious tongue,
Though hushed on earth, forevermore yet speak
As with angels trumpet and declare
The better life is lingering with still.
