The Turk and His Lost Provinces" by William EFery Curtis, is announced for immediate publication by Revells- Mir. Curtis is best known as the cores pondent of the Chicago Record Herald, in the interest of which paper he last year spent several months in the Bal kan provinces. From what he then Ob- served as to the feeling among the Bull garians and their cousins across the line in Macedonia. MT. Curtis drew conclusions and made predictions that the events of the last few weeks have strikingly verified. Things have hap pened possibly little sooner than he expected, and so unintentionally, this book comes just in the nick of time.

 William Edward Norris, author of Lord Leonard the Luckless," lately published by Henry Holt & Company, is one ot those authors who have a fondness for globe trotting. His home is at Underbank, Torquay, England, but he is seldom. to be found there. Mir Norris is not to be pinned down in his Wanderings within such restricted limits. He was last heard of, however, as being somewhere between Tasmania and Japan. Like many English novel; ists, such as Charles Reade and Antho- ny Hope, for example, he was educated at Eton and studied for the bar. He became barrister of the Inner Temple in 1874, but has never practised. His father, the late Sir William Norris. was at one time Chief Justice of Ceylon. Among Mr. Norris earlier novels are "Matrimony" and No New Thing"

The St. Adams Messenger asks: -
How can Battell man quote compare

and no license towns as an argument
against the saloon, when he himself adj
vocates putting the whole state of YER
mont into the liquor business and deal
ing out the stuff, not in saloons" of
course, but in estate stores 2" What's
the difference? Can not a man get Just
as drunk on estate store" rum as he can
on "saloon rum? Isn't he more likely
to get drunk on estate store" rum be-
cause he has to buy bottlefull in order
To get glassful, than he would be if he
could slip into 'saloon" and get a
drink The ungodly saloon keeper
knows that if he sells drinks to man
when he already shows the effects of
liquor it is cause for forfeiture of his
license, but the estate store" goody-
goody can sell whole "druuk," yes,
several "drunks," at time, all put up

Mr.. EDITOR: l fully agree with the
terse statement in your recent editorial.
IN which you said: "The question is
not how great are the evils growing out
OF the sale of liquor, but how to best
regulate or diminish them"
There are two methods of determining
the question; first, by fair comparison
OF the effects of license and prohibition
where the two systems have been in OBJ
Grafton in the same cities and towns, as
evidenced by statistics showing the ac-
tual number of arrests for intoxication
and the crime statistics under each svs-
tenn. There is no better object lesson
than that afforded by comparison of
this kind in the large towns and cities

DOES LICENSE PAY
ADV T.

Vermont and Maine are thoroughly
anti-license. Ohio and Illinois are ex-
amples Of license States, filled with dis
tilleries, breweries and myriads of sa-
looms.
Vermont and Maine challenge COM
parison Of the prosperity of their COM
mon people with that Of the common
people of Ohio and Illinois. In popu-
lation, indeed, the latter States far out
strip them.
Thus, though less than one-fifth in
number, the people of Maine have more
than half again as much laid up in the
savings banks as the people in Ohio /;
and though little more than one-sixth in
number, they have far exceeded twice
the deposits of the people of Illinois.
The people of Vermont, though in popu-
lation only one-tenth the size of Ohio,
have 100000 more in savings banks
than Ohio and almost twice the amount
Illinois has. Or, to put the same facts
in different form, were the amount de-
posted in the savings banks of Illinois
divided equally among all the people of
the State, each person would have but
s6.l4; by a similar division of the saw
ings of Ohio among her people, each
person would receive s9.42. But each
inhabitant of the State of Maine would
carry away ss0.77 were each to receive
an equal share of her deposits; while in
Vermont every man, woman and child
would receive STA.
Think these things over aud then de-
eide whether the licensed saloon is
friendly or opposed to the financial
prosperity of those who work for their
living.

The proposed license law is not in

notwithstanding the efforts Of the "pro-

of the voters can introduce the licensed
drug store, which may signify = good
deal, Notwithstanding penalties. The
farmer can sell a barrel Of new cider,
but the sale of ten gallon keg to a
single customer incurs the penalty Of the
law.
II the proposed law is ratified by the
people what law will obtain, and what
will be the legal status so far as rum
selling is concerned in towns that vote
no license? Liquor can be imported for
personal use just the same under high
license as at present. The high license
law will enforce itself just about as eff
fectually at first as the prohibitory law
enforces itself, but not after public opin-
ion becomes familiar with that vice
which 1--WE first endure, then pity, then
embrace" Shall We better restrain and
regulate the sale and consumption of
liquor by adding the greed of gain of
the seller to the appetite of the drinker 7
Do we wish for an indefinite multiplied
ton of summer hotels, dispensaries of
liquid refreshments, road houses, etc,
and will this new dispensation promote
public morals?
0. NJ. Barber says the present law in
vites perjury and an attendant train of
evils, and Sam Small tells us that we are
a race of liars, perjurers and drunkards.
Will the section which requires police
officers, sheriffs and constables to make
oath whether they have observed any in
dication or received any information
tending to show any violations Of this
law be always responded to with abso-
lutte TRUTH Will human nature change
when enforcing high license? There is
no occupation which more surely and in
sidiously debauches personal honor than
selling liquor for private gain. Yet the
state grants monopoly to do that thing
by this proposed law, and the higher the
license, if not so high as to be prohibit
i've, the stronger the motive to push the
sales to the utmost extent, even to the |
of the law, and former convic-
tons for illegal sales do not disqualify
for receiving license. Do the mothers
and daughters of Vermont want this
law, this so called regulative measure
adopted? Almost without exception
hey oppose it as dangerous foe to the
comfort and happiness of the home and
honor of the state.

Report.
SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.

SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.
There continues to be sufficient snow
for practical purposes and the lumber.
men are improving the situation. There
is still good demand for wood for fuel
and prices are firm. While there is a
moderate supply of coal in few towns
nothing has developed to relieve the
scarcity of coal in general, and the fuel
question is still serious. This is the
only drawback in the business conditions.
The granite dealers are doing well for
the season of the year and prospects are
encouraging; marble interests all active
and there is an increasing demand for
marble products. Operations in the
slate quarries are affected somewhat by
snow and extreme cold wehther Con-
ditions this season have been reasonably
favorable for the production of slate and
the demand has been very good. Other
lines of manufacture throughout the
State are generally well employed The
retail trade is good, seasonable articles
are in good demand and the merchants
are encouraged at the situation and
prospects.
In Burlington the lumber interests are
fairly well employed, although just at
this season of the year it is possible that
strength is more apparent in prices than
demand. The cotton mills and other
manufacturing concerns are busy and
there is a good demand for groceries.
hardware, tobacco, etc, of the iobbers
the retail stores are doing a large bust
ness and the dry goods houses are hav-
ing special sales and are disposing of
large amounts of goods. Business in
Hardwick is good among the retail
trade. The granite business is quiet at
present but the prospects are good for
much activity in this branch at this
place. Swanton reports business to be
reasonably good, conditions remaining
practically unchanged. In St. Adams
the garment factory is busy and retail
business is good. The new street rail.
road is fairly well patronized and is a
great convenience locally. Business in
Rutland is of the usual volume; the la
Dor trouble is still unsettled. The Rut-
land Florence Marble Co. which has oc
cupled offices here has moved to Fowler
the new station near their new mill.
This mill which is now in operation is
probably the best equipped mill of it's
kind in the world. Poultney reports
good demand for slate and prices are
firm. The winter weather interferes
somewhat in the production of slate.
Retail trade satisfactory. Fare reports
the granite business very good for the
time of year, retail trade about the
average, collections fair. Bennington
reports the manufacturing interests ac.
tive in all respects, retail trade a little
quiet as is usual after the holidays, col
lections good. Business is reported to
be good in all departments at Bellows
Falls, collections are good. In St.
Johnsbury the scale works are busy and
other lines Of manufacture are well EN-
ployed, retail trade good for the season
of year, collections fair. The strike
among the employees of the Montpelier
& Barre Street Railway has been settled
and the business which was interrupted
for some ten days has been restored
upon an amicable arrangement.
