Stand by the Department.

1t is evident that determined effort
is to be made this winter to have Con
gress nullify or overrlle the measures
which the post Office department has
taken the past season to remedy the
abuses under the second-class mail
matter privilege This privilege. in
substance, gives TO legitimate and reg
nlarly published periodicals the right
OF carriage in the mails at one cent a
pound, prepaid by the publishers, and
OF free carriage IN the county of publi-
cation except for copies delivered at
free-delivery offices. This privilege
was extended upon the theory that it
is for the public good to make the
sources of Information and education
through the press as broad and free as
possible. Under this privilege, how
ever, there have been built up i'm
mense business interests dependent
entirely on the use of the mails at
price far below the cost of carrying
the matter. For years past the annual
deficit OF several millions of dollars in
the expenses of the post Office depart
ment has been due to this cause, and
every postmaster general has called
the attention of Congress to the fact
During the past summer. under the
lead OF Postmaster General Smith, de-
terminSd and effective regulations
have been adopted to put an end to the
abuses. a storm of protests from the
business interests affected has follow
ed, and it is evident, as has been said,
that no effort and no money will be
spared to induce Congress to override
these rulings.
II is to be hoped, by all means, that
these efforts will not succeed. They
are maSie mainly under a thin pretence
that ii will be prejudictal to the inter
est of newspaper publishers to have
these abuses corrected 1t is especial
ly urged that the country publishers
will be injured If the reforms are car
ried through. This is not true. No
legitimate newspaper publisher will be
injured ii the use Of the second-class
privilege is confined within its legiti-
mate bounds. All pretence to the CON
trary is false. and without foundation.
We hope snd believe that every mem
ber of the Vermont delegation in Con
gress will satisfy himself Of this fact
and stand squarely by the work which
the department officials have done
within the past few months.

When the British fleet mobilized at
raising the Dlockatie of the southern
ports in the civil war Russia said in
substance hands on" by assembling
her warships in the harbor OF New
York. Americans art inclined 10 look
upon Russians as sinister, cold, cruel,
their form Of government being so at
variance with the free institutions of
our own country, but we ought not to
forget that Russia's friendliness at a
time when England appeared to be
ready 10 step over the line Of neutral
ity to aid the oOnfederacy may have
changed the entire history and result
of the great conflict. NJ. HanotamX,
French minister OF foreign affairs in
1898 is authority for d statement
which is now attracting great atten-
ton, to the effect Lat Russia, and not
England, as has been generally sup
posed, blocked the plan for interven-
tivn when the Spanish-Amerlcan war
was imminent. Austria, bound to
Spain by ties of kinship. the queen re-
gent of Spain being an Austrian arch
duchess, proposed interposition be-
tween Spain and the United States un-
der the guise of mediation. France,
on being approached by Austria, was
willing to mediate if the other powers
agreed to such action. Then it was,
according to M. Hanotaux, that Count
Mouravieff, the czar's minister of for
eign affairs, siguified in the most en-
phatic terms to the Spanish ambassa-
dor at ST. Petersburg, Russia's abso-
lutte refusal to mix in any way in the
quarrel. This position made it i'm
possible for France to pursue a course
plainly discountenanced by her ally.

AS the Phoenix Sees 1t.

We have received abundant recog-
milton and approval by word of mouth
and by letter of the declaration in The
Ph9niX of last week on the question
of the sale of liquor, and of placing
the responsibility where it belongs.
sions no line has been drawn between
those who do and those who do not
believe prohibition to be the best way
to deal with the liquor evil. In every
instance the fact recognized is that
the whole question of obedience to
law is at stake, and that no man can
shirk his responsibility on to an
other. The significance which we at
tach to these expressions is what they
show of public sentiment.
To The Phoenix the conviction has
become irresistible, after the events Of
the last four months, that it is not
alone the persons who rent prop
erty and use it for the sale Of liquor
that should be held morally and
legally responsible, or come to the
public view. The endless chain of
prosecutions for first Offences" fol
lowed by a change of proprietors, and
then by more prosecutions, while those
who are primarily responsible escape,
has made farce of law enforcement
till the people are tired of it. The
men who own the real estate in which
or on which liquor is sold can stop it's
sale if they will This is equally true
of hotel property in either of the Brat
tleboro villages, or of the brewery on
the island. This is what is constantly
said in private, and it is time that it
was said in public. The owners OF all
this property are known. If there is
defiance of the law in future let the
English language be spoken, and the
responsibility be placed, in the public
mind and the public speech, and in
the enforcement Of the law, where it
belongs.

The American House. which was
closed Yesterday, is the oldest hosiery
in Southern Vermont. Mr.. Burnham
in his history of Brattleboro says it
was not used for hotel purposes until
after 1911. John Holbrook occupied

that time, when it passed to the own
ership Of one of the Hunt family of
Vernon and Joseph Goodhue, the first
proprietor 1t was next owned by
Francis Goodhue, who. between the
years 1888 and 1887 built the front
gable with veranda. This front is the
only familiar sight on Main street to
people who return here now after an
absence of half century. The hotel
received its present name when Mr..
Goodhue became proprietor. 1t had
been known previously some Is years
as Sikes's Hotel. being under the man
agement of Uriel Skies, who left it
about 1885. The house was in posses
sion of Wells Goodhue a long time, un-
til sold in 1860 to Charles Simonds.
1t was conveyed to Stearns & Ray in
1862 and to Ray & Boyden in 1865.

Bishop Porter of New York has a
right to his opinion ttat prohibition is
AN impudent fraud and an impudent
Failure" anu that it has educated a
race of frauds and hypocrites" but
when he tells about a preparation, a
bltters, sold in Vermont, New IIamp-
shire and Maine which contains 61
per cent of alcohol he arouses
suspicion that his chemistry needs
brushing. His statement is simply
absurd The stiftest old American
whiskey that can be found contains 60
per cent of alcohol by volume and
% 2-l0ths per Gem by weight, Alco-
mol is too expensive to be USED to the
extent of 5l per cent in any patent
preparation. However, perhaps the
bishop knows more about prohibition
than he does about chemistry or about
the concoctions snld in proa ibitory
states.

The spirit OF populism Is not dead, On tn,

The spirit Of populism Is not dead. On the
other hand it permeates every nook and cram
ny OF the state. True, in many localities it
lacks leadership and organization, but it is
there nevertheless distinct, independent
force which cannot properly be said to be
either republican or democratic. In large Sec
lions of the state, however, populism is still an
organized force with vitality that is surpris-
ing, when the course taken by the party during
the last three campaigns is considered. Our
records. by no means complete, show that at
present there are in the state nominated and
elected purely as populists, the following off,
Gals: Three senators, eight representatives,
eight sherins, four county treasurers, four reg
listers OF deeds, six county attorneys, five audi
tors. five superintendent Of schools six judy
es Of probate, five clerks OF the court, and a
number OF minor officials. These officials are
scattered throughout twenty-six counties.

ANOTHER oFFlcE.hoLpER HEARD
FROM.

The republican steerers in this
county are striving earnestly to create
the impression that there is q perfec,
exodus OF populists and that they are
tumbling over each other in their
eagerness to get into the republican
party. But they are playing in hard
luck, as the only ones who have &c
far testified to their conversion are
holding office under the republican
administration. Swan Nelson had
the first vaudeville turn, but as his
''conversion" was a well-known fact
for years it fell stale and failed to
draw any uproarous applause.
The next man to take the center Of
the stage and sing his little song was
L. z. Thompson of Green Lake. His
song was published in the Gazette OF
last week. Mr.. Thompson is a quiet,
unobtrusive sort of q man and would
undoubtedly have preferred to be be.
hind the curtain, but the stage man
ayers gave him the cue, and rs he
could not afford to lose his position
he went on. In his nervousness hi
spoiled the thing by OVERRIDING it. HI
claims that there are only six popu'
lists left in Green Lake township, and
three of them are rather shaky. This
statement will cause considerable
mirth in that locality, but in othe,
parts of the county where the facts arr
not known there may be some people
that actually will believe it. This
was probably the reason why he was
told to say it.
Mr.. Thompson was an applicant fol
q position under Gov. Lind. AS hie
circumstances were such that he
needed it badly the committee would
have been glad TO help him, but there
were not places enough to go around.
He undoubtedly learned by this that
the early bird catches the worm, and
he was one of the first ones in this
county to draw q job under the Var
SAINT administration. We are glad tc
see him prosper, but we think it would
have been kindness to him If the re-
publicans had let him enjoy that jot
in quietness, instead of dragging hin

WOOD, nAvEMcyER 4 CO.

Light has at last been thrown on the
matter of the activity of the so-called
Exporters Association, which during
the past winter was flooding the news
paper Offices of the entire country with
ready-made arguments in favor Of a
reduction on Cuban sugar duties. 1t
was generally understood that the
Havemeyer sugar trust was behind the
association. But now it appears that
while this was true there was a still
stronger force backing the attempt to
manufacture sentiment in favor of the
sugar trust. F. B. Thurber, president
of association, testified before the SEN
ate committee on Cuban relations last
Wednesday that the military govern
ment of Cuba had paid him about
$1,000 to carry on the agitation. Gov.
Wood had approved the vouchers for
the money. Havemeyer had contrib
uted $500. This announcement,
backed by one of the vouchers, Great.
ed CONSERVATION in the camp of the
administration forces. That q
government headed by the most
intimate friend of the president should
thus have used money to Indirectly in.
huence legislation was something tina,
even the bitterest opponents of the
government could not have dreamed
OF. That Havemeyer should have 90
used money was something that every.
body expected, as he has never made
q secret OF such operations. The
Havemeyera have always been close
to the government, but this is the first
instance in which it has been shown
that the authorities have used money
to help them. Before this it has gen!
orally been understood that the Have.
meyers had to furnish liberal amounts
to the campaign funds in order to
get the protection they wanted. But
