The Refere nd u m.

We copy In another column an editorial
from the Montpelier Journal which pre-
sents very fairly the Specification of the
vote on the referendum. Among other
things it we'll says:
"The claim that Vermont is for license has
been utterly discredted. 1t is made clear that
the voters of Vermont are opposed to license;
it is clear that had a reasonable time been
allowed for discussion and delberation the Ii
cense act would have been held up; it is as
clear as the MONDAY sun on an unclouded
summer day that the people of Vermont, in
an overwhelming majority, are stoutly opposed
to license This truth is indisputable."
1t is indeed evident, fist, that large
majority of the voters of the State are
opposed, and we think we may say
unalterably opposed to license; and sec
ond, that they are in. favor of sys-
TEN of state control, such as now large
and constantly increasing number of the
most influential papers of the State are
advocating.
For not only do all those, who voted
" No" in the referendum, prefer such a
system, but large number of those who
voted "Yes,' as well as nearly all of the
more than 10000 voters who did not vote.
And it is further evident that this great
majority are determined that such a
law shall be passed by the next legis-
lature
High license is discredited by all com
munities that have tried it, And it is
as impossible for license to change its
character as for the leopard to change
its spots. As this paper has shown high
license is in every respect the very worst
conceivable system for regulating the
liquor traffic.

journal says above, that had rea-
sonable time been allowed for discus
sion and deliberation the license act
would have been held up. The license
men understood this and that is why they
refused to allow the vote to be taken in
May or June, or even at the annual town
meetings in March.
Indeed we are satisfied that in this
county in few more days every town,
with the possible exception of Vergennes,
would have given mo" majority. The

There seems to be landing
among the State papers generally, as to
the number of voters in the State. They
refer to 10000 not having voted at the
referendum; the number that did not
vote is nearer 10000, and may be consid-
erably above that.

For Seaside Visitors.

The human body weighs a pound in the water. and a single chair will carry two grown persons-that is, 1t will keep the head above water, which is all that Is necessary when it is a question of life and death.
 One hand placed upon stool or chair or a small box or piece of board will keep the head above water, while the two feet and the other hand may be used as paddles to propel the body toward the shore.
 A person unfamiliar with the buoyant power of water will naturally try to climb to the top of the floating object on which he tries to save himself.
 This often happens when pleasure boats capsize.
 All immediately want to get out of the water on to the top of the overturned or half filled boat, and all are drowned ex- cept those whom the wrecked craft will wholly bear up. If they would simply trust the water to sustain ninety nine hundredths of the weight of their bodies and the disabled boat the other hurd- redth they might be saved under most circumstances.

Marion, June 5.-(Special. )LThe salary of the postmaster at Marion has been raised to $1.00O per year. The raise is due to the increase of over $500 in the post office receipts over that of the previous year. There Is no better evidence of busi- ness improvement than indicated by the Marion office shows an increase of over $500 marks a progres ahead of that of many years past Although this county has had virtually two crop failures in succession, Marion Is enjoying a healthy growth, and her future was never brighter.
