r1r, Small's Figures.

A large audience was more or less en-
tertaiued Friday evening by Rev. Sam
Small OF Georgia, and in the course of an
eloquent address he gave some statistics
where be contrasted the amount OF liquor
licenses in the two states of Georgia and
Vermont. His conclusions were greatly
to our states disadvantage and the
CALIFORNIAN is glad to be able to clear
the situation. Mr.. Small's figures were
undoubtedly correct for some year, but
he should have taken those from the
latest report. The books OF the internal
revenue collector at Portsmouth show
that there were $50 of these licenses in
1899, while this year. at the last report
only lis. The fiscal year closed June 80
and the number had increased to about
14O. On the basis Of 140, with a popu-
lation of 343, Sal, this would give one Ii
cense for every 2 asa inhabi ants, which
is very different conclusion from that
drawn by Mr., Small,
Again, when the Southern orator sta
ted there were IA Wholesale liquor deal
ers licenses in Vermont he gave the i'm
preston that there were IA places where
liquor was sold by the wholesale. In
point Of fact there is not one such place
in the state. The government secures a
license from the manufacturers OF two
per cent" beer, but these men are not
wholesale liquor dealers in the common
acceptance of the term.
Mr.. Small is sure of an audience when
ever he comes to St. Johnsbury, but We
hope next time be will avoid abusive
personalities and il he uses figures get
them from the latest report.

The Women In the Campaign.

Notwithstanding the legislature has
repeatedly refused municipal suffrage to
women they are taking an active part in
this campaign and doing what they can
to prevent the state becoming a high Ii
cense commonwealth At recent meet
ing of the ladies of Ludlow the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That we are in sympathy
with and in favor Of the present prohibit
tory law.
Resolved, That we do not believe that
a local option law would do away with
any evils that exist under the present
law, but instead would increase them;
nor is there any reason why our town
should be brought low by saloons.
Resolved, That with one voice we pro-
protest against high license law and
the evils that always go with the saloon,
and that we plead for strict enforce
ment of the present law.
By vote of the meeting, these resolu-
tons were to be presented at every
home in the town, and an executive COM
mittee was appointed to supervise the
canvass. The result has been that eight
ninths of the women of the town, over
81 years of age, have signed these reso-
lutions, thus signifying their earnest
desire that Vermont shall not become
guilty of bringing licensed saloons within
her borders.
The action of these Ludlow ladies
among whom appears the name of the
wife of the chief executive of the state, is
independent of any party or temperance
organization and is directed solely to thu
preservation of the home against thu
saloon. We trust that this movement O
the Woman's Home Temperance Leagu
of Ludlow may be widely extended.

The Genial Col. Hooker.

The death of Col. George W. Hooker
was received with deep regret throughout
the state and there are many men in St.
Johnsbury who will always remember his
genialty and cherish the memory of his
friendship. Among the many tributes to
his memory this from the Springfield
Republican is particularly true
The sudden death of Col. George w.
Hooker of Brattleboro, takes away one
oil the best known Vermonters, bright
and CHEEKY personality, full of ready
fellowship and wit, likable man whose
popularity went with him in the Union
army and in civil and in political lite.
Much Of the comradeship OF the army
life which first gave him prominence was
ALWAYS his. His wit was audacious,
sometimes sparkling, always of Irish
quickness. The nimble play OF it never
left him at loss. Examples in plenty will
be to. day in the mouths of those who
knew him. When travelling with his rel
alive, the late Col. James Fisk, whose
sister Hooker married, the late fnancier
of Erie tame called out, as carload of
hogs passed by: George, there 60 some
relatives of yours" Yes" responded
Colonel Hooker, quick as a flash, "rela-
tives by marriage" There was much
originality in his thinking, plenty of
rough friendliness in his life, and a
warmth of manner and of heart that en-
deared him to his fellows far beyond the
ordinary.

STATE POLITICS.
Sketch of the Prohibition Candidate.


lnasmuch as Vermont's prohibition
candidate for governor this year is a res
ident of st. Johnsbury our readers Will
be interested in sketch of his lite which
appears in the August number OF the
Vermont Home Guards:
7. o. Sherburn was born on small
farm in Plain6eld, Nov. 21st, lo45, OF
poor, though reputable and pious par
ents. On this farm he spent over nine
teen years of his life with only such adj
vantages as the country school OF the
back district furnished forty years ago.
Twelve weeks in winter was all the time
allowed after his tenth year. In the
winter of 1864-5, encouraged by parents
and friends, be pushed out for an educa-
ton. entering Newbury Seminary under
Principal George Crosby Smith. The
next eight years were spent in the night
tor culture; and in the summer OF 1878
he was graduated with Academic honors
at Wesleyan University, Middletown,
Conn. During all these years be had
boarded himself when in actual school
work, save the last term at college, and
had never missed a days work save
when overtaken by small pox in 1871.
Being singularly Indifferent to all prefer
ment, and careless of rank or place, he
never secured the highest grade in his
class, but was always in the first third
at least. No place in the gift of his class
mates or college friends was ever denied
him. The first Offices in his society, the
class presidency, and the honor OF wei
coming home the college president, who
had been absent A year in Europe, all
came to him unsought.
Before graduating, he was assigned
work in the Vermont Conference, and tor
almost thirty years has not failed of
church services single week, and has
almost every Sunday preached from
one to four times. In 1882, while pastor
at Rochester, VT, he received almost
unanimous vote from his fellow citizens
to represent them in the state legislature.
At that tine he was acting with the re-
publican party.
In 1892 and again in 1896 he repre-
scented the Vermont Conference in the
General Conference of Methodism, hav.
ing as associate ministerial delegates,
Rev. R. L. Bruce, and in 1896, Rev. A. ].

ers in Brattleboro as well as in other
portions of the state, and without the
leaders he cannot hope for success. Here
in Brattleboro were he carried the town
and got his original boom, he will not
get 200 votes for the simple reason that
the people had no particular desire to
see Mr.. Clement governor. 1t was the
issue be represented and not the man
that carried this town as well as others;
aud since the regular republican plat
form grants all the people ask, they will
stick 10 the regular nominee. The repuo-
licans of Vermont have followed the
leaders too long to kick over the traces
at this time and Mr.. Clement as well as
Others will learn this at the election in
September. Here's big red apple that

S. Page, one of the best and most con-

down the rule that no money should be

in Vermont. To-day there is only one

A Historic Church.

The French Protestant church in
Charleston, S. G., is the only Huguenot
church in the United States. 1t was
founded in 1851 and has preserved its
organization without a break ever
since. 1t was the first Huguenot
church established in America, and it
is singular indeed that it should out
last all those which followed it, but
were gradually merged into other or
CARNATIONS. Its founders were those
who were driven from France by the
revocation Of the edict Of Nantes, and
their descendants are prominent
among the leading families of the
north and south today.

Campaign speech of Mr.. Percival W.
Clement, who, after turning out an un.
successful candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor of Vermont.
has boIted to run independent in behalf
of local option. The speech as we get it
in various New England Arrangements is
devoted almost wholly to charges of
bribery and corruption and suppress
sion at the election of delegates to the
Republican state convention and in the
convention itself. Mr.. Clements candi-
dacvis plainly one of personal disappoint-
ment and crankiness, and consequently
cannot be likely to disturb seriously the
Republican party in Vermont"

August Magazines.

The August Vermonter has its value as
a campaign text book as all four of the
parties in this campaign are represented
by full page portraits of their candidates
for governor and complete texts of their
platforms.
Another notable feature of the seventh
anniversary number of this state maya
zine is an article on President Chester A.
Arthur, his birthplace, and the monu-
ment to be erected by the state to his
memory in Fairfield. A full page por-
trait of President Arthur and views of
his Vermont home illustrate this article.
Hon. John Barrett contributes an inter-
esting article on Siam, profusely illus
trated, and Warren L. Fisher tells
the story of the Old Constitution House,
in Windsor.
The Century covers the West Indian
disaster with as complete an account as
has yet been published and its enterprise
would do credit to any metropolitan
daily. The journal Of the Vicar. General
during that awful period and the St.
Pierre papers account are unique and
valuable contributions to the history OF
the sad affair. Besides muchgood fiction
and clever poems by Joel Chandler Har-
ris and Thomas Bailey Aldrch, there is a
most interesting paper on P. T. Barnum
and the concluding article on the south.
