That Referendum.

The joint Committee on Temper
ance evidently did not understand
John Young, before the Bar Associ-
alton, in his able address on the
Referendum, as the press understood
him. 1t is true that the press had
construed Mr.. Young, that his re-
search on this important subject was
against the constitutionality of the
Referendum. To clear up this mat
ter the Temperance Committee in
vited Mr.. Young to appear before
them in open and public meeting
and once more rehearsc the all I'M
portant referendum question with
the understanding that he would an
swer or attempt to answer any ques-
ton propounded by the Committee.
The Evening Argus in it's steno-
graphic report gives the exact Ian
guage of Mr.. Xoung's conclusions
in the matter. Only one question
was propounded, and that by Mr..
Bailey. The question and answer,
both clear and concise, together
with Mr. Young's conclusions need
no comment by way of explanation.
We are glad to give our readers the
very language used in the subioined
transcript from the Evening Argus:
"My conclusion, continued Mr..
Young, sis this, a referendum law
properly framed which affects the
people of a whole state may just as
we'll be submitted to the vote of the
whole state as a town to say whether
it will have a license or not in tina
town, 1 say that no distinction of
principle can be drawn between the
two propositions. tits conceded by
all courts today that local option
law is constitutional whether it re-
lates to the sale of liquor or any
other question -
Mr. Bailey, of Newbury, interro-
gated Mr.. Young. Said he: "Mr.
President, would like to ask the
gentleman if he considers either
form of local option to which he has
the vote by towns for the |
acceptance of measure, or the sub
hitting of a question to the whole
people as to the adoption of law,
he considers either form constitu-
ional."
Mr.. Young replied: "Today the
lecided weight of authority by the
courts of last resort in this country
Ire in favor of the legality and con-
'titutionality of local option law;
hat is acts depending upon the &C
,eptance or rejection by the voters
If a section of the state. That class
If legislation today is held constitu-
ional by the majority of courts of
asst resort in this country"

Visitors to New Orleans often adj
nire the fine physical development
of the gigantic negroes at the water
front, engaged in loading the ships.
These men make from So to $40 a
day in busy times and are even able
by their skilled labor to force white
freight handlers to unite with them
But this negro organization is retro
gressive instead of progressive.
They demand the abolition of labor
saving machinery in loading ships,
fix the number of bales of cotton a
ship may load in a day at one-third
the customary number and ask full
control of the work of loading YES
sells. Naturally the ship owners pre-
fer to fight, and a strike may be
the result. No one could side with
the negroes in their attitude.

This land presents strange con.
trasts in its populations. If we
could be surprised at anything we
would certainly be surprised to hear
that there was an island in the Gulf
of California where the last of our
native aborigines live the same kind
of life as their ancestors have for
centuries. The island of Tiburon
is inhabite by Indians who for CEN
turtles have successfully resisted the
efforts of white men to land upon
their shores. 1t is hard to APP
proach in boats, and though the In
they have kept their foes at bay,
and no one knows much about them
except that at times they make raid
over stretch of desert on the main
land seventy miles long, and after
securing meat for food, return to
their island home. The SmithsO-
finest specimens of physical human
ity in the world and even the mount
ed cattle herders cannot catch them
as they run over the desert. Re
Gently band of white men, equip
ped with modern weapons, set out
for the island in launch with the
purpose of conquering them and Sc
curing their gold. They were
landed and the launch was to return
for them in given number of days.
1t was the gentlemen adventures
who died, and the Indians who got-I
the spoil. All that is known of the |
expedition is that when the launch |
returned for it's party, it found |
nothing but their bones bleaching |
upon the sand. They have kept |
their landing for long generations
brave1y and they should be left in
peace until kinder motives send to
them helps in the arts of peace and |
instructions make them understand |
that peaceful industry and trade
will bring them the best returns
when they go to the mainland for
food. But will it? Our history
with the red man is not one to be
proud of.

OuS VI lHS DCSl law y CHS III AhOh l,
last week delivered an address be-
fore the Vermont bar association
in which he stated that in his opin.
ion referendum in this state is UNI
constitutional. While Mr.. Young
may be mistaken, it is just as well
to guard against the probability OF
his being correct as regards the Ii
cense law. If the Legislature still.
thinks there ought to be another ref
erendum of the matter, let the date
for the vote on the matter be fixed
for, say the first Monday in Deem
Der and then instead of adjourning
at Thanksgiving the Legislature
should take a recess to sometime
about the middle of December and
then re-assemble and re-enact the Ii
cense law if it is approved by popu-
lar vote. This will provide for an
actual referendum and the re-assem-
bling of the legislature would cost
less than to fight the case as to con-
stitutiona1ity through the courts,
though the Reformer's personal
opinion is that it would be better to
enact Mr.. Battell's dispensary bill,
with perhaps a few changes. and
put 1t into effect without any turth

What is all this about the man
who is compelled to buy his liquor
by the bottle and take it home, be-
ing more likely to get drunk than
the man who can go into a saloon
and get glass of liquor and drink
it there when he p1eases?
In the beginning of the temper
cruSada MANY wars the
current of complaint ran in exactly
the opposite direction. Many and
vehement were the phillippics di-
rected against the open saloon with
it's privileges of selling liquors by
the glass and of inveigling custom
ers by various means to drink it, be-
cause it greatly increased drunken
ness. And those who have had ex-
perience or observation on both
sides of the question know that it
did.
1t was the plea in those days that
the one. practice of treating" at
those bars where liquor was sold by
the glass made more drunkards than
any other thing connected with tfc
business; and that, the man who
carried his liquor home and drank it
was more apt to be moderate drink
err, while the drunkards were mostly
those who drank by the glass at the
public bar. Human nature hash t
changed much.

Public opinion sustains the action
of the state senate in killing off the
house bill extending the open sea-
son for deer hunting. The present
limit is about right. 1t has taken
many years to increase the number
of deer to respectable figure and
there is no reason for permitting
their slaughter to continue each
year for a longer period than that
now fixed by law.

The elections of Tuesday bring
no comfort to the Democrats. With
free silver and anti-imperialism bur
led in the political graveyard they
were expected to present united
front, and the tendency of public
sentiment for years to sway like
pendulum from one side to the other
led to general expectation of large
Democratic gains. In the New
England and Eastern states the Re
publican majorities have been re-
duced, but the Democrats have fail
ed to win control except in Rhode
Island. In some of the western
states the Republican ma jorities are
larger than in the presidential year.
The Republicans retain control of
the House of Representatives by
good working majority, although
somewhat smaller than in the pres
ent Congress, and in the Senate
they have made a slight gain.
Looked al as mid-e1ection endorses
ment of the administration it is APP
parent that the country has given
stronger approval to President
Roosevelt than to any President
since the days of Grant in 1870.
President Roosevelt has grown
steadily in the estimation of the
American people during the past
year. Less criticism and be1itt1e-
ment of him is heard in converse
tion and in print from his political
opponents than of any other Presi-
dent within the memory of the pres
ent generation. He seems to be the
logical Republican presidential cam
didate in 1904.

Arbitration is slowly but surely
becoming the accepted way of set
thing difficulties. A plan formulated
by the National Association of Mas
ter Builders, which has Just ended
its session in Washington, embodies
a judicious scheme to prevent strikes
and enforce the arbitration of wage
scales and labor disputes. They
are in favor of an arbitration board
which will equitably represent both
employers and employees, In order
that the plan may be effective, it is
promised to form strong unions of
employees representing the different
trades. A committee of the employ
ers will form one part of the tribu-
nal, the other part will be composed
of the committee named especially
from the union of workmen which
has a grievance to settle. Mr.. John
Stevens of Philadelphia, who has
just been reelected president of the
National Association of Master
Builders, emphatically says that
this is not a movement for stronger
employers organization, but is sim.
ply intended to provide the proper
machinery for arbitration when such
is required to avoid the great losses
now entailed upon both laborers and
contractors during cessation of la
Dor, caused by a strike. 1t is ex-
pected that this plan will be in op-
Grafton by the end of the year.

The coal question is now regarded
by many as a thing of the past, but
this is only true in a degree. The
Coal Commission has been very
thorough in their investigations
and the impression produced by
their course has apparently not been
marred by any lack of tact or judge
ment. This Commission evidently
realize that they are engaged in
settling one of the most important
cases that has been brought before
any court in the nation in recent
years and are observing a becoming
reserve in their conduct, thus no
one can say how they have been i'm

STEALING AN IRONCLAD.
How a Gillian Mnn-Of-War Was Dis

Piecemeal.

The most audaciC Us piecemeal rob-
berry on record was that effected by
some Peruvian irregulars during the
war with Chill, in the summer of 1879.
For fear of the Huascar, which was
cruising along the Gillian seaboard,
and which for power and weight of
metal was infinitely superior to any
thing the latte rnation had then afioat-
The CHILEAN man-of-war Pareja was tenn
porarily hidden away in a creek some
so miles south of Valparaiso; and, as
fighting men were urgently needed
elsewhere, her crew was taken off, and
she was left in charge of corporaps
guard of marines.
These were overpowered one dark
night, and the bodies tumbled over
board; after which the adventures
proceeded to carry away the whole Of
the internal fittings of the ship. And
this apparently impossible task they
actually accomplished, relates Stray
Stories.
The Pareja's guns, her stores and am
munition, 1,200 stands of small arms,
even her machinery and boilers, were
lowered into a number of fruit boats
which had been chartered for the pur-
pose, and safely carried northward
into Peruvian waters where they were
afterward used to outfit another YES
sci.
And when, some months later, the
Huascar having been sunk by the Chilli
an fleet, the lawful owners of the
Pareja came to look for her, and bring
her out to sea again, they found only
the empty shell of a ship, silent and
deserted, and without SO much port
able property aboard as would have
sufiiced to fill decent-sized portman-

AMERICANS IN CANADA.
Many Are Making Homes on the Fer

There Is at this time considerable
American migration to the Canadian
northwest. The fertile and compare
lively cheap lands Of Manitoba, Assini-
Jia and Saskatchewan are attracting
many settlers, now that they can be
reached with ease and facilities exist
for shipping their products to market.
Last year, reports the Chicago Trib-
une, $4,000, 900 bushels Of wheat was
raised in n region which was once
looked on as part Of the frozen north,
valuable only for the fur-bearing ami
mails it produced. There are millions
OF acres OF land not under cultivation
which can be made as fruitful as those
now being titled.
A majority Of the men who are now
making homes for themselves in the
Canadian northwest are Americans.
This does not alarm the Dominion au-
thorities. They have no fear that the
newcomers will be disturbing pOlit-
teal element, or that they will at some
future day agitate for the annexation

which they may be In the ma iority.

MOUNT ETNA STILL SAUNDERS
The Great SiciIIan Volcano Has Re-

1900 Eruption.

The height of Mount Etna, the IA
nous volcano of Sicily, has long been
fixed ut 1O,S66 feet. It's height has re-
Gently been more accurately measured
by trigonometrical processes and the
exact elevation il found to be 10,775.
The difference is not important, but the
more exact determination will, of
course, be given on the maps hereafter
published. The main crater mas n
width of 1,72S feet and n depth of 500
feet. Mount Etna has periods of al
most complete quioscence. Six years
had elapsed after the eruption of 1892,
when in the autumn of 1898 blue flames
began to emerge from the mouth Of the
largest crater and n great deal Of vapor
was emitted from the lesser oritices.
II was then announced that Etna
seemed to be preparing for an effusion
OF lava, probably on the south or
southwest slopes. The expected erup-
tion, however, did not begin till the
morning Of July 10, 1899, when great
volumes OF smoke and lava began to
issue from the main crater. but after
several days the activity gradually
subsidized, and Etna soon resumed its
peaceful aspect and has since seemed
% be in slumberous condition.

A HUMMING BIRDS TREE.
Scores Of the Tiny Creatures visit a
RockIand (MeD Cherry Tree
Each Spring.

An interesting sight now daily to be
this city, is a large cherry tree that is
steadily visited from early morning
to sunset by large flock of humming
birds, says a Rockland (Me) report.
Fully 100 of these dainty little crea-
lures are to be seen ceaselessly DART
ing among the branches Of the tree,
or posing themselves on wing before
the fruit into which they reach for
honey. The constant tiutter Of so
many pairs Of wings creates a whirr-
ing noise like the distant hum OF ma
chinery.
According to Chapman, but one va
riety Of the humming bird is found
here in the east, the ruby-throated,
which breeds from Labradorto Florida.
It's upper parts are bright, shining
green; wings and tail fuscous with
purplish reflections; throat beautiful
metallic ruby-red, whence the name.
The ruby-throat has no song, its only
note being n squeak, expressive of dis
trust or excitement. There is belief
among some that the humming bird
never alights when absent from its
nest but this is easily disproyed, the
littlecolony Of them here alluded to ex-
hibiting many rcfutations Of this err
roncous impression. The humming
bird is as fearless as beautiful. Each
spring while this cherry tree remains
in blossom this visit Of the humming
birds recurs.
