two are on the best of terms. The 9th
er day, when Senator Beveridge of In
diana was delivering one of his ha-
rangues against Quay's statehood bill
and the Pennsylvania was trying hard
not to let it ruffle him, Cullom asked in
reminiscent mood:
"Quay, do you remember Mcdonald
of Indiana? He used to occupy the
seat you now have right beside me-"
Quay said that he did, with a show
of impotence which did not disturb
the Illinois senator in the least.
"Well. what l was going to tell you
about was that once, twenty years ago.
he told me he had an Office boy who in
sisted ON studying law in his Office and
who he believed had the material in
him to make one of the leaders in his
state and whose name would some time
become famous"
Quay showed still more Impotence
at the Illinois senator's "reminiscences
and the speech of Beveridge, and burst
out with, Suppose he did, what has
that got to do with statehood and the
present tangle l am in?''
"Oh, nothing" said Cullom, "only
that's his office boy speaking over there
now,' he said as he directed his index
finger toward Senator Beveridge.
In the course of an earnest and pa
thetic plea for a pension for one Of his
constituents Representative Shattuc of
Ohio said:

day he came and saw me-
Shattuc was for a time at loss to
understand why his colleagues We're

ter.
When Senator Depew was well IN
der way the other day with his anti
statehood speech, he encountered Sen
ator Bate, who went off on an extend
ed discussion of some topic suggested
by what the New Yorker had said. Mr.

The Political Situation.

In the present contest In Vermont,
politically, there are certain lines which
ought not to be crossed. There has been
dissension in the republican party caused
by boiling candidate, who bolted
simply and only because his rival got
the nomination for governor instead of
himself Had he bolted because of
principle there might be excuse, and
even possibly Justification; but no
principle was pretended. He had OBJ
tanned the platform he asked for, and
waited to accept the nomination; but
the slip took place 'twixt the cup and
the lip, and ne bolted. Asked after
wards, why, he said he thought he
would be elected.
Under these circumstances 1t should
be plain duty of all those who voted
the straight republican ticket, and
helped elect Gen. Mccullough gov
ernor, not to assist this boiling candi-
date, and we call upon our friends in
Bennington county, and all republicans
throughout the State, in the new con-
ditions which have arisen, to stand by
their friends instead of supporting their
enemies, and follow such course as will
heal party dissensions and result in har
moEy.
This can only be done by adopting a
compromise measure. Any other course
means continued dissension, nor is there
any intelligent republican in Vermont
but what knows it, The high license
advocates will never be satisfied with
prohibition, nor the prOhibltionists with
high license; but as long as the question
lies between these two extremes bitter
warfare will be continually waged.
Three-quarters of the republican party
are strongly in favor of temperance prin-
ciples, and therefore naturally strongly
against license system, or any system
that admits private gain in the sale of
liquors.
The democratic party is also divided.
Under these conditions division of both
republicans and democrats propose a
compromise measure upon which sub
stantially all can unite. This is state
control system, after the lines of TIE Bat
tell bill, which received So votes in the
House, as a substitute to the high license
bill.
Many leading prohibitionists now
openly advocate this system, as do also
many who have noe been satisfied with
prohibition. Republicans at this time GER
tainly should unite on this measure, and
men of all parties who desire to support
sound and sensible system for the regu-
lation of the liquor traffic.

troll, and such law as this it is that the
Register advocates for Vermont at the
present time. a government monopoly
for tine sale of liquors may be managed,
as in Russia, mainly for revenue, in
which case it would not be especially a
temperance law, though we believe In
no case has 1t ever been grossly abused
for the purpose Of making money, as a
license law, high or low, always is.
In any case the government monopoly,
whether that government be munich
pality, a state, or an empire, is the most
creditable system possible for the regu-
laton of this traffic. ana the only credit
able one possible where a revenue is
collected. except 1t be done by indivi-
duals from philanthropic motives, as in
the Norwegian system. And therefore
is it that he Register favors such a
system ar this time for Vermont; for
the State without difficulty can put the
machinery in operation and operate it
entirely with patriotic motives.
SO will we all have peace, and the
this can be accomplished. For by this
system, every legitimate want of the
community will be fairly consi iered, the
principles of temperance carefully
guarded, and the taxes of the people
very materially reduced.

The License System for Hegulat-
ing the Sale of Liquors.


We had occasion last week to refer to
the license system for regulating the sale
of liquors.
We showed that it was fatally defective
because first, 1t admitted the principle
of private gain; second. it failed to
guarantee the purity of the liquors, and
third, 1t failed to offer any permanent
solution of the problem, but bequeathed
struggle from year to year, whether to
have license or not, until the law could
be got rid of.
We showed that the only inducement
to adopt it was In the revenue that it
gave, which, when conditions were
favorable, as when there were large
cities and large number of licenses
granted, and the license fees were high
in fact AS well as theory, was consider
able. 1t is self evident that these cou-
ditions are entirely wanting in Vermont,
and that the profits of any possible
license law would hardly be sufficient to
pay tHe eAptuses VI It's tulOTCtmtHl.
And we said in conclusion that it would
be impossible to conceive of any worse
system for regulating the liquor traffic.
All of these charges are strictly true
and unans werable. We reiterate them
this week because it is very important
that the people-all the peope-should
fully understand them, In order that
they may keep clear of so worthless a
system.
la the license system the first attempt
was made to get revenue from the sale
of liquor; at first by low license and then
by high. And as this revenue at the diff
ferent great centres of population was
quite considerable, the system became
quite widely spread. But however con-
siderable it might be, the greatestlpart of
the profits remained with the saloon
keepers. Naturally the government
monopoly system followed, in which all
the profits of the trade are retained by
the state.
These are the conditions Of State con-
