TOO SNAIL A CUSTOM HOTSE.

When Congress appropriated only $4,000 900
for the NewYOrk Custom House II was surely
in no generous mood and had scant regard for
the future. Through this port comes the great
bulk OF the imports of the United States. and
the customs revenues collected here so far sur
pass those taken ut any other American city
that comparisons would be ridiculous.
The new custom house in this metropolis
should be constructed on so spacious a scale
that IL would not become too small In a century
for the requirements OF the service Larger
amounts than S3.0O0O00 have been approprl-
ated by Congress for federal buildings in a
number OF American cities in which the ma
tional revenues are meagre when set over
against those gathered IN this capital
New-York commerce, no matter what mis-
takes may have been made In the past or may
be made hereafter, Is certain to develop and
expand rapidly. and we ought to have custom
house big enough for the growth which cannot
fall to come One grievous embarrassment
from which this port has suffered Is that the
majority of It's representatives in the lower
house OF Congress- in which appropra tions
have their beginnings, has been as a rule made
up OF small minded Tammany men of little In
fuence force or ability. Such men are not
truly metropolitan, and such men can accom-
pish no great things for a metropolis

The ''unterrfed Democracy In several Of our

When all the great steamships are fully
equipped with the wireless telegraph apparatus
and can send messages over scores of miles of
ocean. what a gratifying decrease of marine
disasters there will be! When one vessel can
summon help from another over long stretches
of storm tossed leagues. travel by sea Will be-
come almost as secure as Journeys by land.
New-York tribune., 1902-01-16
Is it certain that the Croker mantle Will not
be too loose and large for the Nixon shoulders?

Does Police Captain Chapman bear a charmed
life, or is he merely especial favortte OF
Fortune? Twice have rebellous patrolmen
sought to end his career with deadly weapons.
and twice has he escaped without scratch.
Can it be that destiny holds him in reserve for
higher duties and larger responsibilities? Has
the captain of the famous whskers and the
celebrated axe a greater mission to perform?

British Ship Combine.

Apparently a distnctvely British ship
combination is to be realized The latest
reports respecting it say that it is as
sured under the subsidy patronage of the
British and Canadian governments. The
Cunard line is included and a capital of
100000. 900 has been underwritten. Six
new 26-knot vessels of great size and the
finest appointments for passenger service
are TO be built at once, and a number of
slower freight steamers will be added
The combination will operate its vessels
in connection with the Canadian Pacific,
which is the only transcontinental line i'm
North America not allied in some meas
ure with the Morgan ship combination.
Great Britain's imperial necessities com
pei the maintenance of a strictly British
transportation service, not only across
the Atlantic, but the Pacific and Indian
oceans, and the Canadian Pacific rail-
road is likely to become more than ever
the great land highway connecting Brit
ish subsidized ocean lines encircling the
earth and touching at all important
points in the vast dominion of that en-
ire-GSpringfield Republican.

Consumption of Liquor Increasing.
burlington News.l

The report of the manufacture of alco-
holic liquors during the year ended May
81, 1900, which has just been made ptblic
by the census bureau, is rather depress-
ing. The report shows that the value
of the land, machinery, tools and live
stock used in the manufacture of liquor
aggregates Si57674,0S7 and that there are
1850 establishments all making money
turning out alcoholic stimulants. Dur
ing the census year the report says,
there were 1880 ,104 gallons of malt
liquor, 1O3,3 1880, 423 gallons of spirits and
q, 325, 657 gallons of wines of various kinds,
making a total of 1895, 1855, 09 gallons of
all kinds of alcoholic liquors which were
manufactured in the United States dur
ing that year. According to Admiral
Bowles of the Bureau of Construction
of the Navy Department this amount of
liquor would make a lake in which a bat
tleship not only could float but in which it
could be manoeuvred The total con-
sumption for this country it estimated at
1922, 166 6S5 gallons per capita for every
man, woman and child found by the
census enumerators. Illinois led the list
in the manufacture of spirituous liquors
with 32,5OS, 435 gallons. Kentucky ranked
second with 21,7O9S73 gallons. Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland follow
in the order named.

IN OUR OWN STATE.
Strikers Won from Howe Scale Com
panv

After 81 days of idleness the strike at
the Howe Scale company's works in
Rutland by which 425 men were affected
was settled Friday. BY the terms of
the agreement the men returned to work
on a nine hour day basis at o'clock
Monday morning. The effect of the set
Element is to give a backeye to the com
bine of important employers who had an
organization for the alleged purpose Of
breaking up the labor union The men
are jubilant over the outcome of the
strike and confident prediction is that
now the combine is broken the Lincoln
and Patch strikes will soon be adjusted.
The Howe Scale strike just settled was
the largest and hardest fought labor
battle in Rutland for years. From the
day they went out May 10 the men have
shown no sign of waverng and have con-
fidently maintained that they would
never return unless granted the nine
hour day.
Strenuous efforts have been made to
adjust the trouble. The Federation of
Labor men Friday tried without success
to refer it to a board of Cancellation or
arbitration. Until Friday however the
company had refused to grant the nine
hour day. According to the terms of
the settlement this basis is to be in force
at the shops for not less than a year.

BONDVlLLE.
William Mason Escaped from House
of Correction.

William Mason, of Winhall. a trusted
prisoner, escaped from the house of cor
rection at Illtland, about 10 o'clock Sat
urday night
Mason was sentenced about 3Ia months
ago to serve not less than 10 nor more
than y months for selling intoxicating
liquors. He had served a term at the
institution once before and had made
such good record that he was appointed
fireman. Mason had filed through an
iron bar and was thus enabled to swing
open a pair of iron doors and escape,
probably towards the Pine hill woods
only a few feet distant. 1t is likely that
he had filed the bar a little at a time for
several days and completed his task Sat
urday night.
Mason owns property at Manchester
and a Winhall and the prison officials ex-
pect him to turn up in Bennington county.
He is well known in that county and all
the officers of that section of the state
are on the lookout for him. Mason is
said to be a man who is much accustomed
to live in the woods and he could at this
season of the year exist in the mountains
with little difficulty. Four of the officers
at the house of correction were in Dorset
and other places in Bennington county
Sunday. but they did not obtain any clews
of the man. Mason is AZ years old but
looks 10 years older.

THE VERMONT PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRID

who were staying at the Park hotel in
Woodstock, were identified as Wifred
Hassam, merchant hNNGaysvllle, and
Mrs. Mabel Rice, wife oi'& section hand
on the Rochester railroad a warrant
was issued for their arrest but they
took warning and fed. Officers who fol-
lowed found their team in the barn adj
joining an unoccupied house in Barnard.
The officers waited until morning be
fore searching the house, only to find
that the couple had dropped from rear
window and escaped again, their tracks
in the wet grass being plainly visible.
The woman was finally captured in Ran
dolph, where she was hiding under the
hay in a barn. She had walked in the
rain from Gaysville during the night,
distance of nearly 20 miles, and was in
an exhausted condition. She was taken
to Woodstock, and pleading guilty to the
charge of adultery was sentenced to not
less than two nor more than two and one
half years in the house of correction.
She has three small children. Hassam
is still at large, but the officers expect
to capture him.

Eugene Field, Journalist and Man.

1t was a part of Fields humor to tell
other journalists that he never pretended
to be anything more than a newspaper
man himself one reads him i'll who
does not see abundant evidence of the
pride he took in his more deliberate work.
l have heard him lay great stress upon
his affection for his newspaper work.
He wrote little or nothing for the maya
zines. the demand upon his time for daily
copy forbidding 1t. Nearly everything
he wrote was first published in his
"Sharps and Flats" column, and this
consisting at first of short paragraphs
of the humorous. satirical type. gradu-
ally gave way to literary comment. bibi-
omaniacal matter, fairy-tales songs of
childhood. poems, prose tales. and chap
tiers of books afterward issued in their
entirety. What he said. and especially
the way he said It, soon attracted atten-
ton. 1t was recognized that the man
and the matter were unusual, and Field s
growing reputation has justified that
recognition.
To take a mans mental and moral bear
ings. we have only to find out what his
ideals are that is, what he most loves
and detests, what is his religion. what
view he takes of his profession and its
aims, and. finally, how he thinks and
speaks about women. Measured by
even so severe a test as this. Eugene
Field challenges our respect and admira-
ton.
Field loved all things that are beauti-
full He had a wonderful tenderness
toward childhood and motherhood He
detested sham and pretense He lost
no opportunity to assail these vices. He
lay about him with a two-edged sword
of satire and ridicule. like a knight of
old, sans peur, but with much reproche
His feeling for sweetness and truth is
shown in many of his writings. but II is
best seen in his exduisitely written short
stories, such rs THE First Christmas
Tree than which nothing could be more
tenderly devout.-[From n paper by Fran
els Wilson, the Comedian, in the July
Century.

Small eruptions in Nicaragua, Alaska
and Hawaii occurring about the time
of the terrible explosions in the West
indies give evidence of volcanic activ-
ity extending over half a continent. On
the hypothesis that these movements
have some connection. the scientists have
an important task before them, to trace
the connection and ascertain why the
eruptions occurred when and as they did.
They seem to upset most of the current
theories respecting volcanoes.
The triumph of the woman suffragists
in the new national Parliament of the
Australian commonwealth is their great
est achievement yet. 1t confers the
right to vote for it's members on all the
women of Australia. There are 1000,
600 inhabitants in this commonwealth.
and this act enfranchises about 800 600
women. When those of New Zealand
are added. who have been voting nine
years, and those of our own four states,
a total is furnished of not less than a
million and quarter English-speaking
women who are now exercising full po-
litical suffrage.
