The Doubtful Benefits of City Govern.
| Montpelier Journal.1

Some people are doubling the wis
dom of city government in this COM
munity. Large results, in one direc-
ton, have followed; expenses have
grown apace and the public debt has
grown with the growing cost of a
city administration. In these respects
and some others. the experiment of a
city government has been a success. a
somewhat appalling success-so great
that the example and experience of
Montpelier were a controlling influ-
ence in determining the people of St.
Johnsbury, recently, by a very en-
phatic vote, not to accept the city
charter provided for that community
by the legislature at its late session.
With wisdom they decided to keep on
with the old order of things till the
superior advantages of city govern.
ment are more apparent than at the
present stage of the demonstration.

The 10000 stay-at-homes who voted

opinion. who wouldn't cast ballot
that might be construed as an en-
dorsement of prohibition, but who
were displeased with the entire frame
work, or with certain provisions, of
the new act. We know of many such
voters. The "anti" side polled nearly
its entire available strength.
The four counties of Bennington,
Franklin, Rutland and Washington
gave a majority of 1891 for the new
liquor law. The four counties of
Caledonia. Lamoille, Orange and Or
leans gave a majority of 6152 against
it. To attempt the enforcement of
uniform system in counties where
sentiment varies so widely is an i'm
possible task. The local option fea-
ture of the new law is the real source
of its strength.

name good license commissioners.

hasty exits to the streets. The first

second was timed at 1:13 o'clock. Many
buildings swayed and in the Business
Mems Club the chandeliers were bro

buildings in the city the shocks were
especially noticeable and caused con-
sternation among the tenants.
Reports from surrounding towns tell
of earthquake shocks but no serious

The movement was from east to west.
