The State of Maine Is now having it's
upheaval over the prohibitory law. The
sheriffs in some of the counties have al
lowed the law to become almost a dead let
ter the dealers being unmolested as
long as thoy closed their shops at eleven
and paid each 4 fine of $l5o and costs once
a year All this is to be changed. 1t is
reported that Governor Hill has
given explicit instructions to all
the newly elected sheriffs that they
must thoroughly and impartially enforce
the liquor law as soon as they assume Of
fee on January !. -Four of the sixteen sher-
iffs-elsct are democrats, two of whom
were elected because they pledged them
selves TO enforce the prohibitory law. Five
of the twelve sheriffs elect are former in
cumbents. who have permitted the sale of
liquor within their jurisdiction under the
arran cement described Some Of these
sherifs have been enforcing the law in
their counties since the election. All of
the seven republicans who are to take Of
flee for tho first time on January / say
republican State convention, which de-
clared that the law must and shall be en-
forced. OF course it is freely asserted that
II the law is enforced to the letter, 1t will
be repealed, though constitutional
amendment must be repealed in order to
permit the enactment of license law.
How all that will be remains 10 be seen.

Memorial of Col. Joseph Wait.

Judge Horatio LOOMS Wait of Chicago,
formerly of the United States navy, has
prepared an exceedingly interesting men,
OR Of his ancestor. Colonel Joseph Wait,
from whom Waits river, which runs
through Orange county VT, took its name,
and who had a notable career as a soldier
in the French and Indian war and the
War of the Revolution. He was born in
Brookiield, Mass, enlisted at twenty-one
in provincial company raised for the de-
Tense of the Massachusetts frontier
against tho Indians; was member Of Col,
Ephraim Williams regiment, which re-
sisted the French invasion under Dieskau,
by way of Lake Champlain and Lake
George; was captain of a company OF
Rogers rangers in Amhersts invasion Of
Canada in 1860; and in the expedition
against Detroit: was the captain of a COM
pany of Green Mountain Boys in I'M; was
with Ethan Allen in the capture of Ticon-
Ideroga; served under Seth Warner In the
capture of St. Johns and Montreal In 1775;
and was lieutenant colonel Of a regiment,
raised to reinforce Benedict Arnold in his
disastrous campaign against Quebec. In
uy, 1776 he was stationed with battalion
of 200 men on Onion river (now the WI
nooskD to guard the Vermont frontier,
and to cut lumber to be RATED to Crown
Point for Arnold's fleet in process of con-
struction at Whitehall. on September l
of that year he was stationed with a COM
pany at Jericho in this county; moved
thence with his command to accompany
Arnoldss naval expedition to the head
of Lake Champlain; was wounded in a
sharp skrmish north of Cumberland Head
just before tho naval battle of Valcour ISL
and; was sent back and on his way to his
homo died from his wound in Clarendon,
VT. September 2S, 1776. He was buried
there; and a monument to his memory
erected by his brother officers is still stand
ing by the road side about two miles from
Clarendon Springs. He was brave, pa
triotic and efficient soldier in times of
great trial and of great Importance; and
Judge Wait has done a public servicec in
preparing this record of his career. MI
merous citations from orders and contem-
poraneous reports and from various his
tories are embodied in the sketch and It
is illustrated with neat manuscript plans
of Iiconderoga and Crown Point and sew
eral maps. Judge Wait has not printed
this memoir; but has sent handsomely
bound typewriter copies of it to the Yer
mont Historical society, and to the Yer
mont commandery of the Loyal Legion,
which will preserve them as documents Of
distinct historical value.

The Taxation of Deposits in Savings
Banks.

II has seemed for some time to people
VINO have given the matter attention, that
the State might increase its revenue very
much by pursuing different course with
reference to taxation of deposits in saw
ings banks. The Legislature at it's last
session took very important step in the
right direction by increasing the amount
that savings banks can take and pay the
tax upon, from 800 to 5000, which will
40 doubt have the effect Of increasing the
revenue of the State within the next two
it Is hoped will lead to a policy which
will encourage the deposit of money in
the savings banks where the State can
reach it and so receive revenue from IT,
Every one who has had experience in
connection with the taxation of money
in this or other States realizes that il Is
extremely difficult to find ready cash in
sight on the first day of April or when the
assessor comes around. Money has a.
way of lodging out of sight on every CON
ceivable pretext. and inasmuch as an off
set Is allowed with respect to personal
property 1t Is a comparatively easy mat
ter for those so disposed to dodge taxa
ton Of money.
The savings banks not only attract
money from our own State but from 9th
ors as well thus increasing our income. We
believe our people will more and more ap-
preciate the fact that it is good policy to
reach through the savings banks not a
little of the money which now ESCAPES
taxation altogether.
