LOCAL OPTION IN VERMONT

The fact that Vermont has just de-
c:ded in favor of local option, in a
special election on the liquor question,
after years of prohibition, convinces
us that we made no mistake in the
last gubernatorial campaign in oppos-
ing prohibition. Vermont found that
as much, if not more, intoxicating IL
quors were being drunk with prohib-
itory laws as without them. Indeed
there were facts showing a worse
condition of affairs under prohibition
than there had been before prohibitory
laws were enacted for the reason that
stimulants of very injurious charac-
ter had come into common use There
fore the people decided to go to local
option, believing that if there were a
sentiment created against the sale OF
intoxicants by local option methods it
would be possible to enforce prohibi-
tory laws. The theory is right and 1t
will be found to work right in. prac-
tice. In all probability Vermont will
be much nearer a prohibition state
within ten years than she ever was
when the prohibition law was in force
We have always held the opinion,
and we hold that opinion now, that
the enactment of a prohibitory law in
this state would be a step backward
on the liquor question. If Vermont
found it impossible to enforce a pro-
hibitory law what probability would
there be of enforcing such law in
this state? Vermont has a thickly set
tied territory. In Georgia many of the
counties are but sparsely settled. 1t
would be an easy matter therefore in
most parts of this state to evade a
prohibitory law.
There is no doubt that not only in
this state, but in every other one of
the states of the Union there is less
drinking of intoxicating liquors than
there was fifty, or even twenty, years
ago. The movement is in the direc-
ton of temperance. Local option helps
TO educate the people against the drink
habit. and if Georgia sticks to local
option she will be practically a prohi-
bition state in the very near future.
There will be some consumption of
malt and spirituous liquors, but there
will be so little drunkenness that 1t
will not be particularly noticeable.
Let us stick to local option. The pro-
hibitionists mean all right, but exper-
fence shows that in practice their
| theory does not produce the best re-
suits.

A Moral That Was Lost.

do you see that man on the other
side of the street," asked the Prohibi-
ZIONIST, according to the Chicago Post.
1.-The one in rags and tatters?"
Eyes. 1 tell you there's moral in
his life.''
You know him?"
IL used to go to college with him,
and he was one of the brightest fell
lows there; but he drank. He had a
friend there who was clever fellow,
too, and who never touched a drop.
There was considerable good natured
rivalry between them as to which
should be at the head of the class.
During the first term it was a pretty
even thing, but the habits of the fell
low who drank were too much for
him, and he began to go down hill.
In the second year he dropped off a
little, and in the third little more,
and finally graduated at the foot of
his class. Oh it is a pitiful thing!
All the time he was going down his
abstemious friend was going up. He
graduated with honors. Now the
brighter of the two is doing jobs for
a living, while the friend"
The good man paused suddenly as if
he had recollected something.

"Why-why-um- believe he's

a great hurry"
And the good man walked hastily
away.

ALntin-American Joke.

Ordinarily the Latin American states
man is not plentifully endowed with
humor, says the Baltimore Sun. Pres
ident Castro of Venezuela, seems to be
an exception. The witticism attributed
to him in a Caracas dispatch published
in the Sun yesterday is worthy of Mr.
Dooley. Commenting on the demands
of the allies for a share of Venezuela
revenues, President Castro said: THE
situation reminds me of what happen
ed once in my Andes home. A rich
man died without leaving a will, to the
disappointment of his eXpectant heirs,
who conspired with a notary A string
was tied about the dead mans neck, so
that when it was pulled an affirmative
nod was given. You leave your cattle
to Maxine. your house to Maria, your
coffee to JOSEF" In answer to each of
these questions the string was pulled
and an affirmative nod was given
Then came the notary, when the person
holding the string forgot to pull II.
OH said the notary. threatening to
tear up the paper, the string must be
pulled for everybody or there will be
no WILL An executive who can get
off as good a joke as this deserves some
consideration from the nations which
are trying to appropriate his revenues
and reduce him to a state of poverty.
1t is hoped that they will see the point
and conclude a settlement without re-
course to sharp practices.

A FORGOTTEN STATUTE.

The Louisville Courier Journal
prints a dispatch from Muncie, Ind,
containing the statement that stat
ute has been discovered by one of the
bookworm lawyers of that place which
will enable the commonwealth of Ken
lucky to get possession of former Gov.
Taylor, who is wanted in that state on
the charge of completely in the muir
der of Gov-elect Goebel.
1t is generally known of course that
Taylor has been indicted in connection
with others for the assassination of
Goebel, and that the Governor of In
diana refuses to honor the requisition
papers of the Governor of Kentucky
for him. In other words, the Governor
of Indiana is protecting Taylor, who
before he was indicted, sought refuge
in that state.
Recently Henry Youtsey, who is
serving a life sentence for his connec-
ton with the Goebel crime, made a
confession, in which he implicated
Taylor. OF course Taylor's friends de-
clare that Youtsey was bribed, but it
is but natural they should say that
Taylor refuses to return and stand his
trial because he says, he cannot have
a fair trial. That is of course an ex-
cuse that is easy to make. He has
plenty of friends in Kentucky and in
the county in which he would be tried.
They would see to it that he had a
fair trial.
If the story about the forgotten stat
ute is true it may be no longer in the
power of the Indiana Governor to re-
fuse to give him up on the request of
the Governor of Kentucky. 1t will
soon be known of course whether or
not the story is well founded.

CURRENT COMMENT

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal

tions that imagine they are attack
ing American cotton by putting a
tariff on it are afflicted with pigeon
toed intellects. The Europeans are
bound to have cotton, and they will
pay whatever duty is placed upon it"
The Charleston Post Oem.) says:
"The worm is turning very vigorously.
The Columbia State rises to present a

ligned beast. This is the season of the

it is delight to see the brethren US
ing their mantles of charity so freely"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
That the sentiment in regard to
lynching is not very different in the
North and South under similar provo
cation is indicated by the scenes
which have been enacted in the west
ern part of this state. If the police
arrangements had been no better than
in the South the newspapers of yes
leruay morning would nave recorded
a lynching in Pennsylvania. As it
Is, the life of a brute, fortunately or
unfortunately, was spared to await
the judgment of the law, which, for
the honor of the system we are wont
to regard as sufficient in the South
must be forcibly expressed and exc
cuted with promptitude."
The Washington Post Qnd.) says:

Morgan and the Newspaper Man.

During his stay in Washington Pier
pont Morgan seemed to thoroughly
enjoy himself, says a Washington dis
patch in the Chicago Record Herald.
He attended the Gridiron dinner last
night and showed that he could APP
preciate a joke at his own expense,
although he was numerically roast
ed. A group of interviewers vainly
sought yesterday to extract from Mr..
Morgan his thoughts on the business
problems confronting Wall street.
Gentlemen" said he, your bust
ness is getting and printing news, isn't
it? And mine is trying to do things,
isn't it?"
Yes" assented the interviewers.
well, suppose 1 gave you the news
in advance to print about the things
1 may try to do. You would win and
would lose" he said, and you would
think me a Ounce for letting you win"
Senator Hanna met Mr.. Morgan in
the lobby of the Arlington Hotel this
afternoon. Naturally they discussed
the Gridiron Club dinner.
These newspaper boys are a jolly
lot of fellows" said Mr.. Morgan.
Good fellows exclaimed Senator
Hanna, enthusiastically; "why Nor
gan, you make the mistake of your
life by playing the indifferent with
them. They thump me occasionally
and I thump them in return. l give
them a story every time 1 can do so
consistently, and they never abuse my

AN ADDIcks FIGHT IN THE SENATE

The refusal of the Senate judiciary
! Committee to report favorably the
! nomination of William Michael Byrne
to be United States district attorney
( for Delaware means that there is an
Addicks fight on in the Senate. The
I minority Of the. committee also made
a report, and its report was of course
in favor of the confirmation of Byrne's
nomination.
The committee turned Bryne down
because in its opinion he had been
guilty of political treachery. II is well
understood that there are two factions
in the Republican party of Delaware,
namely, the Addicks faction and the
Dupont faction. The Dupont faction is
the regular party. The Addicks fac
ton is made up of Republicans whom
Addicks has succeeded in drawing to
himself by the skillful use of his wealth
in his efforts to get into the United
States Senate.
Bryne was appointed as a regular
Republican to the position of United
States district attorney. He resigned
that position to accept the nomination
of the Addicks faction for Congress,
knowing of course, that he had but
little chance of being elected, but GER
tain that he would defeat the other
Republican candidate, the regular Re
publican candidate. Apparently the
reason he ran for Congress was to de-
feat the regular Republican nominee.
A Democrat was elected to Congress,
though there was quite large Repub-
lican majority for the Republican state
ticket. The dividing of the Republi-
can vote let in the Democrat. AS soon
as the election was over the President
reappointed Bryne, though why he did
so has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned. The impression is that he
had promised Bryne that if he were
defeated he would reappoint him. If
the President made such a promise he
did not take into account the Senate's
power to defeat nominations not agree
able to it.
The Republican senator's, at least the
great majority of them think Bryne
was guilty of political treachery. Be
lieving that, they will never permit his
nomination to be confirmed if they can
help it. There are a few Republicans
on his side, however among them Sem
ator Hanna. That fact alone justifies
the conclusion that there was some
sort of a bargain or understanding that
Bryne should have the district attor-
neyship again in the event of his de-
feat for Congress.
There is going to be a pretty fight
in the Senate when the two reports on
Bryne's nomination come up for con-
sideration. 1t will be behind closed
doors, however, and thus the public
will be deprived of the details of what
is doubtless a spicy political scandal.

Cause for CongrutuIation.

Lord Charles Beresford tells an
amusing anecdote about Sir Frederick
Treves. the Kings physician, says the
Boston Post.
Lord Charles fell i'll, and Sir Fred
erick was called to his bedside. Tell
me-" said Sir Frederick, your symp-
toms"
The other said he had a pain here,
an ache there and a stiffness some
where else. And to each of these an
nouncements the physician exclaimed,
chuckling delightedly:
Excellent
"Charming!"
Splendid"
When Lord Charles had concluded
the enumeration of his troubles, Sir
Frederick slapped him heartily upon
the back and cried in a bold, gay
voice:
My dear fellow, let me congratu-
late you. You have the rarest dis
ease of the century. You have, you
lucky dog. a disease that heretofore
was thought to be extinct"

CLEVELAND A CANDIDATE.

In an interview in New York on last
Saturday Mr. Watterson editor of the
Louisville Courier Journal, expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Cleveland was
seeking the presidential nomination of
the Democratic party. He pointed to
several things which confirmed him in
this view He expressed the opinion,
however, that there was little or no
probability that he would be success
full, and that if he were successful he
could not be elected for the reason
that his nomination would split the
party wide open.
Mr.. Watterson, as is we'll known, has
no love for Mr.. Cleveland, and he sell
dom or never takes a kindly view of
his acts. He no doubt believes
that Mr.. Cleveland is aiming at
the nomination. AS a matter of fact
however, it is extremely doubtful if
Mr.. Cleveland has any such ambition.
He knows very we'll that he
isn't the man to lead his party. He is
bitterly hated by the faction of the
party that controlled it in the cam
paigns of 1886 and 1900. That faction
wouldn't support him. He isn't going
to be nominated, however, and hence
there is no occasion for discussing his
chances for being elected.

The members of the New York Leg
islature who travel on railway passes
which includes pretty nearly the
whole membership, are a mad lot. The
Attorney General has given it as his
opinion that any and all members rid
ing on free passes are violators of the
constitution of the state. The matter
was brought to the attention of the
Attorney General by Representative
Landon, of Duchess county, and it is
the outspoken opinion that "Landon's
bills will travel by freight this year
and there will be a boulder on the
track at every turn"
