Coronation Possibilities.

While most people are bewailing the sad
fate which made it necessary to postpone
the coronation of King Edward of Eng
land, London correspondent VINO must
be gifted with a peculiarly sanguine tenn
permanent, finds ground for genuine thans-
giving in that connection. He shows that
the lives of scores of people have thus
been spared who otherwise would probably
have been crushed to death in the great
tempts to soothe the disappointment Of
visitors by saying that they had two fine
holidays and saw all the decorations which
in most cases were gorgeous enough to
satisfy the ordinary taste. Talk of this
character may be soothing, but it could not
satisfy, even in a case of necessity like
that which confronted London's coronation
visitors.
In the meantime it must he evident on a
moments reflection that the great
possibilities attending the coronation
event, are not likely to be duplicated, no
matter under what favorable conditions at
some future date the solemn ceremony
may be carried out. Superstition is a
matter of laughter with most people, but
it seems to have entered thoroughly into
the mind of the British public in connec-
ton with the proposed coronation of the
King, and the thousands who have suffered
severe financial loss through the post
ponement of the great spectacle set for
last week will hardly venture on so grand
q %
ticulary as there was ground for appre-
hension that the coronation crowd might
not be as profitable as had been anticl
pated However, if the life of King Ed
ward is spared, the British people and
their visitors will find compensation for
their own disappointment and loss.

Bailey's Assault on Beveridge.

Senator Joseph w. Bailey Of Texas, who
has gained some added notoriety by throt-
Ting Senator Beveridge and trying to
youngest members Of the Senate, being
only thirty eight years old. He was born
in Mississippi; practiced law In Gaines
vile, Texas was elected to Congress be-
fore he was thirty; had five elections to
the House. was the democratic candidate
for speaker in 1897 and passed from the
House to the Senate year ago last March
He has generally been courteous In debate;
and that he should have been in such a
condition of body or mind rs to permit
himself to make such a disgraceful and
inexcusable assault upon brother sena-
tor, in the Senate chambers, must be a
notifying surprise to his friends. Less
cause for a resort to physical violence,
never occasioned one before in either
branch Of Congress. Bailey had attacked
Solicitor Penfeld. OF the state department,
a gentleman and lawyer of high personal
and professional standing. He Is from
Indiana, and when he was unjustifably at
tackled by Senator Bailey Mr.. Beveridge
of that state defended his brother In
dianian, by pronouncing the attack TO be
"unwarranted. Called to account by the
Texan he disclaimcd any intention to in
suit him, and denied that he had used any
language that could be considered often
sive. Having nothing to retract, no de-
clined to retract anything Whcrcupon
Mr.. Bailey. a much more powerful man,
physically, flew at him and II other sena-
tors had not nterferred would have done
him serious injury. Mr.. Bailey has thus
placed himself in the class with Senator
Tillman, and other hot-headed Southern
ers, who have disgraced themselves and
the bodies Of which they have been mem
bers by making their fists take the place
Of arguments in debate. He that ruleth

than he that taketh a city" Perhaps If

he would have let Beveridge alone. There
can be no other palliation for his action.

Senator Dillingham's Strength.

One of the duties incumbent upon the
legislature to be elected In September will
be the choice of United States senator for
the seat now held by the Hon. William p.
Dillingham;. The manner in which Sena-
tor Dillingham; has discharged the duties
of his responsible position and the respect
and influence he has won at Washington
during the comparatively short time he has
been a member of the upper branch of
Congress, have combined to prove that
Vermont made no mistake when he was
chosen as successor to tho lamentcd Sena-
tor Morrill,. Senator Dillingham's modesty
and good sense saved him at the outset
from some of the mistakes made by new
senators in violating time-honored ira
ditons of that body, while his work in the
committee room as well as on the floor
of the Senate in the discussion of various
measures stamped him as a useful and
creditable legislator and won for him the
respect and the esteem of his senatorial
colleagues.
The press of Vermont has voiced the
popular sentiment in favor of Senator Dill
lingham's reelection with degree OF
unanimity that is as gratifying to his host
Of friends as 1t is credtabe to him. and
the course of various republican county
conventions in recognizing his service as a
legislator and his worth as a man is UNI
questionably in harmony with the senti-
ments of the great body of his constituents.

nounced credit on Vermont, and she will
honor herself in honoring him with re-

A Campaign OF Education.

The St. Adams Messenger remarks that
there is no reason why a clean, straight
forward campaign Of education coupled
with honest and tactful political manage
merit conducted with unyielding courage,
frmness and vigor should not result in
the election Of a large majority Of repre-
sentatives pledged to give the people Of
Vermont liquor law that will be accepted
by the great body Of thoughtful citizens"
Such campaign ought certainly to be
inauEurated. and to be carried on to such
a result. And 1t is pretty safe to predict
that the law which will be so accepted will
not be the law which the liquor dealers
want. but a law embodying the essential
features of our present law.
The Messenger adds:
The now law should he framed by conser-
vative sober minded, level headed men Of
moderate views on this question. men who
are conspicuously identified with the best
side of Vermont life and whose probity and
sound judgment is acknowledged by all
classes. 1t is not too much to say that no
thoughtful Vcrmonter will vote for new
law that gives promise even remotely OF
planting open saloons on every street cor
ner or OF In any way encoura ging the sale
Of liquor. The purpose of the new law
should be to recognize. what the prohibit
tory law now recognizes. the right Of every
citizen to obtain pure liquor for legitimate
uses, but to remedy the evils now exist
Ing under the present law by making 1t
possible to obtain such liquor within the
State of Vermont without resort to per
Jury, fraud. or aiding and abetting in the
| commission of statutory crime. And It
follows, clearly enough. that the new law
should only permit sales Of such liquor
within the state under such restrictions
public morals.
which the Messenger has hitherto uttered
upon this subject. and II It really means
what It says. it indicates an attitude on
the question with which we are in entire
accord. AS the Messenger says. the pres
ent law recognizes the right OF every citi-
zen to obtain pure liquor for legitimate
uses. and if the new law only permits sales
Of liquor under such restrictions as will
best conduce to public morals, it will not
differ much from the existing statute.
| A voluntary commission OF representa-
tive citizens, possessing the respect and
confidence Of the people, who shall give
careful study to the subject, and suggest
any desirable changes in the law, in the
interest of temperance and good morals
might do good service to the State. Ger
tainly. all good citizens should welcome oil
candid counsel upon the subject presented
from the side of the public good. as dis
tinguished from the interest of the liquor

The GOvernOrship Situation.

As the late State republican convention
recedes into the past and the intense fac
tonal feeling then prevailing subsidies 1t
is possible to sec the various features of
that event in their true proportion and
measure their comparative Importance.
The spectacular incident of that gather
ing which overshadowed all others was
the withdrawal OF a part OF the delegates
who supported Mr.. Clement. and very nat
urally that move has been discussed more
generally than any other feature of the
convention. When seeding delegates re-
ported to Mr.. Clement. their version of the
AFFAIR. given under the influence of Intense
passion, WAS accepted by him. but when he
lied that a mistake had been made; and
now that opportunity has been afforded
for all the developments in the case, 1t Is
conceded by many Of those who went out
that the lieutenants who called upon the
Clement delegates to leave the convcn-
ton hall were guilty Of 4 tactical blundsr
as we'll as OF political fau pas.
Mr.. Clement had stated over and over
again that It made little difference who
might be governor, the issue was that Of
license and local option against prohibi-
tion. The delegates elected In his interest
went into the convention and the resolu-
ton asking that the coming Legislature

Repeal of War Taxes.

July include the tax of $50 on each bank
ing concern and of 50 on each $1,000 of It's
