In response to a request from the Hon.
G. p. Smith, of Burlington, for public
expression of his views on the proposed
license law, the Rt. Rev. John S. Mi
chaud, Bishop of Burlington, wrote:
DEAR SIR:-ln answer to your de-
mand on me for an expression of my
views on the great question to be ans
wered on February 3, 1903, yes or no,
let me say There has been so mu CHI
said in favor of the new law by its
friends through the press and on the
public platform, and as strongly depre-
Gated and opposed by its many oppon-
ents through the same mediums, that
there is no need of my going to any
length In giving you an EXPIRE ssion of
my convictions. You would prefer to
know where stand personally.
| frankly answer you, as | would any
other inquiring friend
am NOT in favor of the new law.
do not believe that it will be for the
best interests of Vermont, to license the
open bar for the sale of distilled liquors
as a beverage.
Many of my friends of New York and
Massachusetts have advised me, keep
the saloon out of Vermont as long as
you can"
If have any knowledge of Vermont
and Nermonters, | may fairly predict,
that the vote No will be so large that
the next Legislature will be obliged to
take middle course, and give us a law
more in accord with modern Vermont
ideas.
Mr.. Clement deserves great credit for
his grand contest in forcing the question
before the public, awakening the people
to more practical and serious study of
the temperance movement.
The people were DESTROYS and anxious
to have a say on the question, and they
have had It to their hearts content-even
/ 10 calling names and saying fool b
things about each other.
Here is what | once wrote to =. w.
Clement, Esq: "The thought often
comes to me, why not give the people
who wish to take stmulant, an oppor-
tunity of buying a small bottle of pure
wine or glass of lager beer, instead of
obliging them to 20 into hidden places to
fill up with poisonous whiskey?n This
is my stand today.
Better for us to endure for a time the
present law, than to make jump in the
dark, by going to the other extreme.
Truly yours,

The Register this week presents a
view of the Glastonbury club house and
the summer hotel which were located
at the terminus of the old Bennington
and Glastonbury railroad in the heart of
the Green Mountains. 2G00 feet above
the level of the sea. The road was built
in 1872 by the Bennington and Giasten-
bury railway and lumber company, of
which Il. W. Park was the principal
owner. The road was nine miles in
length and one of the most picturesque
in New England. In some places the
grade was 250 feet to the mile.
The club house was well arranged for
parties and excursions and for a couple
of years was literally patronized. 1t

you would think that the damp air
would never reach them. Perhaps it
doesn't, but have always noticed that
all the reptiles are active and cheerful,
when it. rains. The deer family, the
bears, the various sorts of wild goats,
and the like, don't seem to mind the

Afro-American, it is worth while to
consider. It is from the white man
that the Afro-American has learned
to steal and to lie. The AfrO-Ameri-
cans teachers have been white. It was
just as bad for the white man to steal
the Afro-American from his native
country two centuries ago as it is for
the Afro-American to steal a chicken
to-day. If you wish to know who
taught the Afro-American licentious-
ness, you have only to look into the
faces of the thousands of mulatto peo-
PIE and get your answer.
There should be no prejudice based
on color. The majority of the human
race are colored. Two-thirds of the
population of the world are not white,
and scientists have agreed that the
FIRST man was not white. The great
tulers of the East, upon whose works
and institutions our present civlliza,,-
Tion is founded, were cOlored men.
Christ taught all to pray Our Father
If, then, God is the white, the black,
and the yellow mans Father, we are
all brethren. ,sI%a5 SzS$, #
White Man was Once Slave.
I'm some cases the prejudice*is due
to the fact that the Afro-American was
once slave. If this be so, then the
white man, who made the AfrO-Amerl-
can a slave, has more to atone for than
the black man. Moreover, the white
man was slave long before the black
man was. The Jews held white men
slaves, as did the Greeks. The Ro-
mans held the Germans and the Sax
ons slaves. Slavery was introduced
in this country by men who held it
contemplate to work. Yet these per-
sons were bounded out of England for
debt They desired to have others do
the work that they should reap the
profit, and yet for the reason that the
slaves did the real work the latter are
held beneath their masters.
DR.. Bristol insisted that Jefferson, in
writing the Declaration of Independ-
ence, meant that both white and black
should be equal before God. He said
that he could not countenance the
movement to deprive the Afro-Ameri-
can of their rights under the fifteenth
amendment.
Furthermore by lynchings, the
American people are depriving the
Afro-American of the great rights OF
Magma Charta," he said, ''the right to
trial by jury and to writ of habeas
corpus"
DR.. Bristol concluded with the state
ment that if any attempt is made to
rescind the fifteenth amendment to
the Constitution, the Afro-American
will be justified in taking up a gun.

I'M. A. p" ON "LABBY."
Tells of His Slavish Regard for the
Ciqarette.

Cigarette.
"Though enormously rich, Labou-
chere enjoys few of the ordinary
pleasures that are supposed to go with
riches" writes T. P. O'Connor. HE
eats the simplest fare; he never
touches wine except when he is bullied
into taking a glass or two of mild
claret by medical advice, and then he
swallows it as though it were medi-
cine. He has two weaknesses. One
is his love of cigarette smoking, the
other mania for changing houses and
redecoration and rebuilding. He is
rarely without a cigarette in his
mouth; indeed, this love of smoking
amounts to something like passion.
Almost every half hour, even in the
midst of a fierce debate or of great
speech, Labby may be seen rising from
his seat in his lazy, indolent manner;
he is going to one of the smokerooms
of the house to have his cigarette. It
is characteristic of him that he smokes
very inferior cigarettes. asked him
once what kind he smoked AS long
as there is quantity said Labby, with
his usual sardonic smile. Il really

gator has been hated and hunted and
despised; but after it was discovered
that the hide of the, creature was
worthy of a place in the economy of
civilization, and after the adaptability
of its skin was shown In artistic hand
bags, valises and suit ceases, alligator
hunting became business and it has
continued a business until already the
alligator is becoming extinct. Nearly
81 000, 600 skins Of eatssFesswere
taken in Florida between the years
1880 and 1894, and even now in some
sections of the state pot hunter may
bring in score of skins from nights
hunt.
But gradually these skins are be-
coming smaller and fewer. A skin
that is two feet long must have come
from an animal that was at least Is
years old, while one that is twelve feet
long is supposed to have come from
a saurian seventy-five years after 1t
first broke the shell Of the mother
egg. It is believed now that the allf-
gator is one Of the longest lived of
all creatures, not excepting the ele-
plant, and it seems that the creature
grows from the time Of it's Matching
to the end Of its life. A big ALL
gator for museum purposes may be
worth $40; alive, for a menagerie, he
may bring his captor double this
amount of money. But for the skin
of the ordinary gator the hunter gets
about IS cents. Recently baby ALI
gators have come into demand as
curios. and in the taking of them,
hunters have. dug up the. nests of the
creatures and have put the eggs into
incubators of hot sand, thus insuring
the market supply, but making the
fate of the saurian more certain. AS
soon as the alligator has broken the
shell it is killed and mounted.
In the rattlesnake Of the several
varieties the skin of the diamond back
is most valuable, and likewise this
species grows to greater lengths. In
the desert regions of the great south

west they grow to enormous lengths.
San Antonio, Tex, has long been
market for the skin of the rattlesnake,
and hides seven feet long and nine
inches wide at the widest part have
been brought in there. Purses and
curios are made of these skins in the
main, but from the larger skins hand
bags are made, finished in the luster-
less hues of the snake as it was in
life. The python of South America
and other snakes of the constructor
family are sought for their hides I'M
til their kinds also are threatened
with extinction.
Various members of the tortoise
family have been victims of fashion
and wealth for years. Nothing in the
cleverest limitations of the shell has
ever approached the projections OF
the tortoise shell comb in it's various
shapes and styles, and as for terraRln
served upon the table, it holds it's own
with the rarest of wines and the cost
Hest of other delicacies of the world.
Aside from the suffering of the sadr-
1ans because of their valuable skins,
and shell, and teeth, the table OF the
pioneer in many sections Of the Unit
ed States and it's possessions makes
demand upon certain species. In Death
Valley, in California, one of the most
repulsive looking of the lizard tribe
is considered a delicacy of first rank.
|, This is the chuckwalla, a chunky crea-
lstures of-mottled black, Ching about
a pound, and feeding wholly upon the
vegetable creations of the scanty soil
in which it makes home.
The iguana is the other edible lizard
and many of them are found in the
Philippines, as we'll as in Cuba and in
South America. It is most revolving
creature in form and color, and it fire.
quently is found measuring three feet
in length. It's delicacy of flavor and
it's unexceptional diet, however, have
long made it an unquestioned luxury
for the table of the pioneer.
The horned toad of the southwest
is passing. Really he is of the lizard
family, and has the characteristics OF
the lizard family in that he takes on
the general monotonous shade of the
soil upon which he lives. If he be
found in the black earth of Texas his
general tone will be black; if in the
yellow sand he will have yellow
tone. But he is at all times harmless
and silent, and though denied trans
portation in the United States mails
he may be found in the breaches peck
cts of thousands of school boys in the
great southwest country.
The lizard family is going, steadily
and surely without the consideration
that was shown the bird when fashion
| fixed upon him as one of it's martyrs.
Superstitious fear of saurian and of
reptile will hasten their going, in spite
| of the fact that few saurians are men
aces to man and in the face Of the fact
| that the rattlesnake. the water moe.
| casin, and the copperhead are the only
poisonous snakes in North America.
