Judge Ross Opinion Criticized.

The st. Adams Messenger takes ex-
ception to Jonathan Ross opinion that
certain Vermont fidelity and guaranty
company can legally furnish bonds for
licensees. 1t says;
This paper is informed by one who
helped to draught the law, and who took
prominent part in all the discussion Of
its features, line by line, in the commit
tee room and on the floor of the house,
that it was the manifest intention of the
trainers of the law to limit sureties to
persons, excluding corporations. The
purpose of this was to throw an addi-
tiOnal moral restraint if possible, around
the traffic and those engaged in it. 1t
was argued that if the would-be liquor
dealer was obliged to present the bond
of two men who knew him so we'll and
trusted him so confidently that they
were willing to risk $4,000 on his good
behavior, the instant effect would natur-
ally be to restrict the number of applica-
tiOns for license in the first place, and to
contine them to men of good repute in
their own neighborhoods where any man
is known most intimately. Another eff
feet that was hoped for by this lmita-
BS'Soh'p1
corporations, was that the two sureties,
probably living within easy reach of the
place of business of the licensee and hav-
ing large sum of money risked upon
his compliance with the law, might keep
the business under a closer surveillance
than foreign company could hope to do,
even with the aid of expert agents, and,
not only that, but that they would them
selves exert strong personal influence
upon the l:censee to keep within the
statute. The licensee who violated the
law would cause heavy loss of money
to men who were such good friends as to
be willing to become sureties on his
bond, and it is but natural to look for a
powerful moral restraint arising out of
this intimate relationship and the obli-
cations it imposes. In short the idea
was to make the matter of suretyShip
one of personal confidence and trust
arising from intimate acquaintance and
personal friendship, and not cold mat
ter of commercial risk by disinterested
foreign corporation for a profit.

VICTORY FOR THE MINERS,
Report OF Commission So Considered =
An Increase of 10 Per Cent in Wages.

The report of the commission appoint
ed by the president last October to in
vestigate the anthracite coal strike was
made public Saturday The report is
dated March IS and is signed by all the
members of the commission who are
Judge George Gray of Delaware, Labor
Commission Carroll d. Wright and Brig.
Gen. John NJ. Wilson, both of Washing
ton, Bishop John L. Spalding of Illinois;
Thomas Ii. Watkins of Pennsylvania, E.
E. Clark of Cedar Rapids, Ia, and Ed
ward w. Parker of Washington. The
report will be illustrated and it will be
accompanied by the testimony taken by
the commission, but thus far only the
report proper has been printed. This
alone covers 81 pages of printed matter
In brief the commission recommends a
general increase of wages amounting in
most instances to 10 per cent; some de-
crease of time; the settlement of all dis
putes by arbitration; fixes a minimum
wage and sliding scale;provides against
discrimination of persons by either the
mine owners or the miners on account of
membership or nonmemberShip in a labor
union, and provides that the awards
made shall continue in force until March
81, 1906. The commission discussed to
some extent the matter of recognition or
nonrecognition of the miners union, but
declined to make any award on this mat
ter.
For the first time the country learns
from official sources the tremendous cost
of the strike.
The loss occasioned by decrease in pro-
duction is $40, 100, 900, the loss in wages
$50 900, 900, the decrease in freight re-
ceipts $2S, 200, 900, and relief funds used
up 81, 100000, making total of $780,
100000.

shrunk from taking up the work OF en-
forcing the new law, in SO far as they
have been approached by the selectmen
of Ludlow. The noticeable instance OF
this is in the case of Frank W.Agan, presi-
dent of the Vermont local option league,
who has been urgently requested by the
selectmen to accept position on the
board of license commissioners, but who
has persistently refused, giving lack of
of time as an excuse. The Tribune has
urged Mr.. Agan's appointment from the
first. He is the logical chairman of the
board, and having been the leader in the
movement which has brought about the
present law should be the first to accept
the responsibility of enforcing it. His
refusal has been a source of annoyance
and regret to the selectmen."

Hurrah for Old Ireland.

Ireland's day is truly dawning. The
long heralded Irish land purchase bill
according to program was to have been
presented in the English house of com
mons yesterday. Irishmen the world
over are deeply interested in the terms
of this bill Its presentation in the
house is considered one of the momen-
tous events in the history of the country.
The bill provides for gradual transfer
of the land now owned by alien landlords
to the Irish themselves. 1t is thought
that it Will require $500, 100000 to
make a complete transfer; but the
entire transfer will not be made at
one time. This vast sum will
be allotted as needed from time to time.
The Irish think that the purchase price
of land should be ca basis of II or IS
years rental valpA and the landlords
think the basis saf9Nrbe 27 10 years.
This means that compromise will have
to be arranged, and it is expected that
the British government will step in with
some good advice and few million dol
lars and settle the differences.
With the presentation of this bill and
its favorable consideration by the British
parliament begins the brightest era in
the history of Ireland. The devoted
sons of Erin both at home and abroad
will not rejoice alone Lovers of liberty
and fair play everywhere will join in the
glad refrain.
The thousands of devoted, patriotic
Irishmen in America ought to be par
ticularly we'll pleased over the outcome
of a long, determined contest. The
United Irish League, to which a very
large percentage of the Irish in America
belong, has been an important factor II
compelling England to turn reluctant
ear to Ireland's cry of distress. Eng.
land has discovered that she has more
than the little island across the Irish sea
to reckon with. This discovery has had
a salutary effect on England, and is
proving the salvation of Ireland.

Reports from all over Vermont and
New Hampshire indicate that the maple
sugar crop is almost an entire failure. If
it is true that whatever is is for the best,
we must take it for granted that it would
not be good for the farmer to havea good
sugar season follow on the heels of a
good wood season. Too much prosperi
ty might make him grasping and avari-
ciouS.

The Barre license commissioners are
trying to decide what church is as the
term is used in the new license law.
Churches in Barre it seems are not con-
fined to church edifices. Several bodies
meet in business blocks for worship. If
these organizations are considered
churches in the sense that the law
speakes of churches, it will raise Ned
with numerous applicants for licenses.
Barre ought to call public meeting and
decide whether the church or the saloon
is the greater public benefit and instruct
its commissioners to govern their de-
cision accordingly.

said that the average pay throughout

she receives only S27.16. If the Yer,

just as much pay we would like to have
the school directors arise and tell us
why.

The Rutland News is able to extract
sunshine from cucumbers after this
fashion: "While the hospital projects at
Rutland and Montpelier are not yet on
firm foundation of financial support, they
cannot be called failures. Far from that,
they are eminent successes. Some day
they will be sufficiently endowed to put
them beyond the worriments of making
ends meet. Meanwhile the public
spirited directors will find way. Barre,
which is thinking of building hospital,
should not hesitate in entering upon
such splendid and needful public work
because the way cannot be seen clear to
permanent support. Such institutions
are seldom established if community
waits to see the end before start is
made. Make start and work out the
end later"
