A Question of Sincerity.

The Bennington Banner gives voice to
a suspicion entertained in some quarters
when it says that there will be a most
determined effort on the part Of the dem
ocrats and Clementites of the coming Legis-
lature to pass high license law without
submission to the people. is already very
apparent"
TO this the inimtable Vergennes Yer
monter replies that IF the license men in
Montpelier fail to get together on this
question it will be the greatest misfortune
Vermont has known for years. Be decent,
gentlemen
Is it not presumption of tho most in
excusable chara cter to even intimate that
Percival w. Clement, who SO abhorred
insincerity as to let it cause him to bolt
his partys nomination ana lndct the great
mass of the delegates to the State conven-
ton, could be induced to abandon the
platform of his own boiling convention
which declared expressly in favor of q
reference of a local option and high license
measure to the people to become law
only when it was approved by a majority
of the people?
Was it not the Rutland Herald which
tried to make the FREE PRESS out as
crawling" because we published a com
munication in which the writer thereof
raised the question whether a referendum
would be constitutional. and was it not
the same Rutland Herald which scorneG
the opposition on the part of some of oui
contemporaries to the referendum?
Oh. No! Percival W. Clement will moi
join in any movement that would mean the
boiling of his own local option plank
which he bolted to secure, for he is not
only an honorable man and the cham
rion Of honesty in politics, he is also the
embodiment of sincerity" Was not Glenn
ent the original referender, and having pre-
pared the dose will he now refuse to swal
low his own medicine?

Election Contests Galore,

Advlces from different parts of Vermont
disclose the fact that abundant opportuni-
ties for contests over the result of various
political contests exist and there is an in
creasing disposition on the part of de-
feated candidate to take advantage Of such
opportunities, the example of one SIDE
naturally suggesting the adoption of a
similar course by the others. The Clement
faction is not satisfied with the count OF
the votes for the State ticket, although In
discussing this point in connection with
the possibility of the election of u. S
stanton, the republican candidate fol-
lieutenant governor the Rutland Herald
distinctly says, There is certainly ne
question that the election of lieutenant
governor as well as governor will be with
the Legislature" In this connection the
Herald says:
The reports that have come to us OF the
rulings of the boards Of civil authority II
the different towns, in the counting OF
votes and reporting results, particularly
with reference to ballots thrown out as de
fective, indicate clearly that recount
with uniform ruling as to what consti
tutes defective ballot, would increase thu
vote Of the license-local option ticket from
3,OCc to 400 votes in the State.

Significant Telegram Sent from Rutland

Rutland, Vt, Sept. 22.-rhe Rutland Her.
aid, which is owned by Percival w. Glenn
ent, local option candidate for governor
of Vermont. admitted. edltoraily, to-day
that Gen. j. G.. Mccullough. the regular
republican candidate, has a clear majority
i'll the Legislature. which body will elect
a governor none of the candidates having
received a majority of the votes at the re-
cent State election. This admission is
generally regarded as meaning that Mr..
Clement has given up the fight for the
goVernorship.
Mr.. Clement has dismissed all of the IS
or more local men who have been actively
at work for him since early last spring,
and very little political activity is mani
fest on the part of the Clement people Mr.
Clement will. however, continue to work
in the interest of local option.

ions of the law proposed, and this means
that the matter must be fully and freely
discussed continuously and not put off
until after some sort of a measure has been
adopted by the Legislature. We have al
ready reprinted what the ST. Adams Mes
senger and the Rutland Herald have had
to say in relation to various features or
the situation that will present itself to the
Legislature in this connection. We note
the following interesting comment in tho
editorial columns of the Bellows Falls
Times:
The Brattleboro Reformer, a longtn
advocate of local option. says Amen to
what the Messenger says and adds that
Brattleboro does not want saloons but
does want her hotels licensed on the high
license basis. We wonder what they want
up in Rutland the Herald has not been
heard from.
If saloons are not wanted in st. Adams
and Rrattleboro. they certainly are not
wanted anywhere in Vermont II. after a
sober consideration OF the matter, 1t should
develop local optionists want only hotels
licensed, one of two things would probably
happen, the local option party will lose
some of its enthusiasm or there will be a
tremendous increase in the number of ho-
tells.
The advocates of local option will mani
festly desire the framing of a law, which
in their estimation will commend itself to
a majority of the people. Prohipitionists
Will desire to have fair test made, so
that if their cause wins, 1t will stay put
for n while. We therefore invite all class
es to freely send us communications for
different classes of people want in the way
of legislation on this important question.

WHERE STRIKES HAVE BEEN MOST
FREQUENT.
The spirit of unrest and dissatisfaction
would appear to be strongest with the
workmen of New York, judging from the
table showing the record of labor disturb
ances ~ States for the past % years. New
York heads the list with a total of $50
strikes. or q per cent of the whole number
for that period, The strikes that have oc-
CURED in Pennsylvania have been of more
serious consequences than those in New
York as proved by the fact that 2s4j
strikes in Pennsylvania since 1881 served to
throw out Of employment 10000 men.
whereas New York's 500 and more strikes
cost employment to 10000 men. The
great hulk of strikes in New York State
in the past 20 years has occurred in New
frok city which has record of 500 dur
ing that period Chicago comes next, with
1871.
The coal miners have not been as sue
cessfu in their strikes as workmen in
other industries. The average of success
full strikes when ordered by organizations
was about 20 per cent for all trades. But
only in about % per cent of the coal
strikes ordered by labor unions in the
past ~ years have the men been success
full There was utter failure in Just about
half the cases. The percentages wer-
about the same for the coal strikes not or
dered ny organizations.
One fourth of the total strikes in all in
dustries since 1881 have been for increase
of wages. and of this proportion 80 PEI
cent have been successful.
II Is a significant fact that employers
have fought harder against recognition OF
labor unions than any other contention
that has been raised, and Is one of tbs
chief causes of trouble in the present Goa
strikes. OF all the strikes of the past
90 years founded on this principle 81 pei
cent failed There were strikes in $50 es
adjustments for increase of wages ant
against the use of material from nonunor
establishments, and all Of them failed
Sixty-nire per cent of the strikes for bet
ter wages and recognition of unions have
failed. Strikes have been more successful
in their efforts to keep out non-union men
G. per cent of their strikes for this cause

VERMONT BUSINESS SITUATION
Encouraging Trade Conditions as View
ed by Bradstreet's Representative.

Encouraging Trade Conditions as View
ed by Bradstreet's Represe ntative.
AdviCes received from various sections
of the state are OF an encouraging nature
and indicate that business is good in most
lines. The manufactures are nearly all
busy and orders at hand are in sufficient
amounts to warrant an active business for
some time Retail trade has been stimu-
lated by the good weather of the past
week and fall trade is opening well and
the creamery interests are flourishing.
The situation as regards crops Is practical
ly the same as last week. The two strikes
at Rutland are still unsettled but the ma
chine shops are being operated to a limited
extent and labor Is in good demand. Bur-
lington reports business normal: the lum-
Der interests are reasonably active and
manufacturers in different lines are mod
erately busy johbers find the demand
good for groceries, tobacco, hardware and
confectionery and retail trade is improv-
ing, collections satisfactory. Business In
Rutland is satisfactory as a whole, al
though the local strike has had an I'M
favorable influence; the manufacturing
concerns which are not affected are busy
and retail trade fair. The electric railway
to Fair Haven is still in process OF con-
struction West Pawlet reports the slate
business good and there is an excellent
demand for roofing slate with prospects
favorable Business in Chester is good
the manufacturing concerns are doing
we'll and the retail trade is satisfactory
Bellows Falls reports paper mills active
and business good IN all lines, In Essex
junction the large brick concern is very
busy and the demand is good for its prod
ucts. The canning factory recently built
will probably be unable to secure a largo
stock as the corn crop is a partial failure.
Winooski reports business improving right
along More activity is noted in the large
manufacturing plants and a better feeling
pervades the business community than
existed a year ago. Business in Barton IL
reported to he vcry good. The manufac-
turing industries employed to fullest ca
pacity. One large plant is making quite
an extensive addition to its factory. Re-
tail trade Is good and collections are fair.
Brattleboro reports retail trade quiet and
collections somewhat slow, the past sea-
son not having been particularly favor
able for business Manufacturers quote
conditions as fair. although some concerns
report considerable activity. Manufac-
turing interests reported well employed
at Pennington; collections fair
