WILL GET OFFICES.

Burlington, March cat what was
probably the most largely attended
city meeting ever held in Burlington
the voters last night voted to issue
bonds to the sum of $50, 600 to secure
the removal of the head offices of the
Rutland railroad to this city from
Rutland. A resolution favorable to
the plan was presented by City Attor-
ney r. e. Brown, who said that the
resolution had been submitted to Dr.
Seward W. Webb president of the
Rutland road, and he had declared it
to be satisfactory to him.
j. e. Burke followed Mr.. Brown
with rousing speech in favor of the
resolution. He said he had given the
matter careful consideration and could
see many future advantages to be
gained by the city aside from the es-
adjustment of the offices alone. lie
said that the laboring men would be
the ones who would be most benefited
and that if they voted against the
proposition they would be their own
enemies. The resolution was adopted
by practically a unanimous vote.

A MURDERER'S BRAND.

Considering tat his famous father
wrote "The Scarlet Letter" there is
q peculiar interest attached to Julian
!, Hawthorne suggestion that murder
ers should be branded This punish
ment is proposed by Mr.. Hawthorne
in an article on capital punishment in
the North American Review. The
writer advises that the death penalty
be eliminated and that some other
punishment, which would be equally
or even more deterrent, be substituted
for it, In his opinion the murderer
convicted for the first time need not
be subjected to the disgrace of wear
ing the mark of his crime where it
could be seen by the public, but
where it would be to him a constant
reminder of the fact that he had de-
prived fellow creature of his life.
But in the case of a repetition Of the
crime Mr.. Hawthorne would brand
the convicted criminal where the
mark would be visible to all. Con-
tinuing the argument against capital
punishment, Mr.. Hawthorne says:
1t may seem to us. no doubt, that
the injury which his "a murderer's)
continued existence threatens TO the
community is more to be considered
than any injury Or justice which the
legal act of the community may inflict
upon him; and that the greatest good
of the greatest number is the thing to
be looked to. But this is a mere infer
ence or hypothesis on our part; we
can never adduce any proof of it. For
the law and the community both as
soul What becomes of the immortal
soul of an executed murderer? No
body can tell. All we know is that
his body is no more; and, as we sup
pose that his evil acts can be rendered
effective only through his body, we
infer that we are, at any late, freed
from any further danger from him.
But are we? Is it not true that the
evil which men do lives after them
Does not the legal execution of a
criminal concentrate public attention
upon him and upon his crime? And
are there not innumerable morbid
minds more apt to derive corruption
from dwelling upon the latter than
good from rejecting upon his punish
ment? There is an old superstition
that murderers haunt the scenes of
their crimes after their own death
is it not reasonable, rather than sup
erstitions, to suppose that their evil
spiritual influence may haunt the
minds of those similarly predisposed,
and influence them to commit the
crime which otherwise, they might
have had strength to avoid?"

LICENSE AND NO LICENSE.

AS means of regulating the liquor
traffic license is bound to have trial
sufficiently extensive to test the vaunt-
ed merits, or the equally vaunted de-
merits, of the system. The number,
character, locality and combination of
towns which voted on Tuesday seem
to present the elements for a satisfac-
tory test, or interesting study of the
vexed question, so far as two years
of time can present opportnni ties for
drawing conclusions.
A large proportion of the towns
have voted to try a change. In this
county the license towns are Barre
city. Barre town, Calais, East Mont
pelier, Middlesex, Montpelier, North
field, Roxbury and Worcester, nine
towns and cities out of twenty. The
dry towns are Berlin, Cabot Dux-
bury, Fayston, Marshfield, Moretown,
Plainfield, Waitsfeld, Warren Water
bury and Woodbury.. The opportuni-
ties for the thirsty to quench their
thirst are enough to.prevent drought
in the county.
Caledonia county has raised high
the barriers against flood. ST. Johns.
bury. the leading business center and
town of largest population in north
eastern Vermont, is dry and every
town in Caledonia county has voted
no license, and in Orleans county
Troy is the only "wet" town. Sc
that northeastern Vermont will be
under n law more rigidly prohititory
than it's predecessor. Bradford is the
only watering place between Derby
Line and White River Junction,
On the west side, always bibulou
in it's tendencies, license has prevailed
to an extent that will practically sub
merge the whole district from Canadl
line to Massachusetts. So, at the en'
of two years, an inventory of results
in the moist and the arid regions viii
afford data for estimating the relative
virtue of license and prohibition un
der the new law
If the results under license shall b
found to be more beneficial to societ
than those under no license, it will b
quite surprising, and such an outcom

THE FOSTER MONUMENT.

The memorial to Mr. Foster, for
which the city provided at the late
annual meeting, will be incomplete if
provision is not made for an erection
at the reservoir that shall connect his
name visibly with the water works
at the place where the association
shall be most appropriate and impress
sive. The water works may be his
out the name and record of the sub
iect of commemoration inscribed
thereon tells no tale to strangers
and none to generations beyond his
ken. A massive block of granite fin
ished to exemplify the rugged char
acter of the old superintendent and
guardian of the locality, suitably in.
scribed, would be a fitting memorial
reared on the spot directly associated
with twenty years of his life and his
most important service to the com.
memorators. The honors there would
be all his own, individual and dis
tinctive, as was his personality in life.
HIS body is in the city of the dead,

dead, but his spirit is where it was il

THE GRANITE SITUATION.

In exempting the granite manu-
featuring firm of E. E. Craven d Co.,
from taxation for period of five
years, the city of Montpelier simply
continued in force a generous and adj
mirable policy, The granite business
in this city is grounded firmly, but,
if prospects be not .deceiving, it is yet
in the childhood stage. The five year
agreement just entered into has re-
moved any apprehension of labor
troubles that may have existed, and to
all appearances an immediate future
of steady growth and development in
this industry is assured. 1t is pre-
dicted by some careful observers of
the granite business in Montpelier,
that inside of five year; the number Of
men employed in it will be doubled,
and the hi story of the past would seem
to indicate that the prediction is not
a wild one.
The story of the firm mentioned
above is an example of what is posi-
BILE in the business. Starting on March
l of last year with total force Of
one man. and occupying but eight feet
of space in the Cotton d Morse shed, il
has steadily grown until now twenty
men are employed and one third OF
the shed is occupied. During the
year orders TO the amount Of SIG, 00(
have been handled. This instance il
merely cited because it is a repetition
of the experience of every successful
firm in the business here today. an(
what has been done so frequently il
the past is altogether likely to Occur
in the future and the granite industr!
in Montpelier is bound to grow.
