Vermont Liquor Election.

Burlington, VT, March IA decided
change in sentiment on the license
question was shown to-day at the an
nual local elections held throughout
the state. Only forty-eight cities and
towns, according to returns received at
a late hour, voted in favor of liquor
selling, as compared with ninety-two
last year, when the prohibition law of
half century was annulled. Where
license won, it was with a greatly re-
duced majority.

USE OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKS.
Conclusions of Fifty Scientists After
a study of Ten Years.
From Harper's Weekly.

rIOn 1aFperS weekly.
The committee of fifty scientists
which has for ten years been studying
the liquor question has issued it's
fourth preliminary report in two vol
umes. The following are the main con-
illusions drawn: Effects of moderate
or occasional use of alcoholic drinks
differ with individuals, age, occupa-
ton and climate. With the majority
Of occasional moderate drinkers no
special effect upon health seems to be
observed by themselves or their ply
sicians. In some such cases drinking
H. harmful; in a few it is thought to
be beneficial. Eighty per cent. of the
leading brain-workers of the United
States. use alcoholic drinks OCCASION
ally or regularly or in moderation. The
use of such drinks to stimulate mem
tai effort gives, on the whole, bad re-
suits. Even occasional or moderate
use is likely to be harmful to young
persons, mainly because of the danger
of its leading to excess. Among dis
eased or infirm persons over so years
of age, alcoholic beverages, while
sometimes useful, should be taken, if
at all, with the last meal Of the day.
Fine old WHISTLES" and fine old bran
dies" are nearly as likely to produce
injurious effects as are the cheaper
sorts, If taken in the same quantities.
In moderate quantities, beer. wine
and diluted whisky have a certain food
value, but they are seldom used for
food purposes-rather for their effect
on the BRAIN In large quantities, and
for some persons even in moderate
quantities, they are poison. Alcoholic
drinks in moderate quantities may be
useful as restoratives in fatigue after
work is done, but they often produce
depression and harmful results when
used just before and duriny labor,

CUBAN ELECTION RETURNS.
How the Several Parties Will show
Up in strength.

Havana, March 1.-More complete
election returns indicate that the Lib
eral nationalists elected fifteen con-
gressmen, the Conservative Republic
cans eleven and the Moderate Nation
alists, a party peculiar to Santiago,
five.
OF the six provinces in the island,
the Republicans won only in Matan-
zas and Santa Clara. Moderate Lib
eral candidates, however were elected
in the provinces of Santiago, Puerto
Principe and Pinar Del Rio.
While twenty of the thirty-one con-
gressmen elected are so-called Liber-
ais, half of this number are opposed
TO the principles declared by the Ha-
vana Nationalists and the result of
the elections is therefore generally re-
garded as a victory for the Moderate
element In politics.

Issue Is sauareIy Presented.

Clint Luce, editor of The Albert Lea
Tribune, has his ear to the ground, and
he hears the rumbling that is passing
over the second congressional district.
In The Tribune Mr.. Luce says:
Judging from the reception of his
candidacy by the newspapers one is led
to believe that Hon. H. j. Miller
will give Congressman McCleary close
call for the republican nomination this
year. His platform seems to be more in
harmony with the interests of his con-
stituents than the expressions of the
sitting member and that should have
some weight but those things do not
count as often as one would expect. One
fact remains and that is the people of
the second district will have an opportu-
nifty to show by their votes how they
feel upon certain phases of the tariff
question. Mr.. Miller is an able man and
he would certainly be able to accomplish
as much in congress as has Mr. Nc
Cleary. The result of the canvas will
be watched with more than the usual in
terest"
| The question of who shall represent
| this district in congress for two years,
following March next, will soon be up
to the voters. 1t is conceded that a
nomination for the position on the re-
publican ticket is equivalent to an cleo
ton. Mr. McCleary has been in con-
gress for number of years, and it is
for the republicans to say whether he
shall remain there. If the republicans
are satisfied with his stand on the tariff
lquestion he will be returned. If the
Republicans are not pleased with this
position there is an opportunity present
ed them to vote for Herbert j. Miller
whose views on this important subject
are so well known that it is unneces-
|sary to repeat them now. The issue is
|squarely presented. There is no equivo'
Ivation on either side. 1t is a question
Iof revision of the tariff upward, OIL
whether the tariff shall be revised in q
manner that will prove beneficial to the
ipeople.

Smash the Machine.

Our namesake in st. Peter says the
contest in the second district is attract
ing much attention outside the district,
and declares that Mr., Miller shouldawin
out because he is in favor of revision
of the tariff in the right direction. The
st. Peter paper remarks that "MH, Nc
Cleary is in favor of tariff revision up@
ward while Mr.. Miller favors revision
downward. McCleary has gained promi-
nence as an uncompromising legislator
for the gold standard and Miller has dis
tinguished himself against the trusts
and for equitable tax laws. Both are
equally well known to the voters in the
district. The question of success would
,, therefore seem to be purely matter of
public sentiment concerning the position
taken by the two men upon the tariff.
But it only seems>so. If it were really
a fact MHer would be several lengths
ahead ofzhis opponent, as it is well
known hat the people of the district
favorA revision downward by a large
maf0fity. But there are other things
to be considered that may possibly de-
, eide the contest. A good organiza ton
and methodical campaign, for instance,
often prove more effective than the enun-
citation and support of measures favored
by the voters and McCleary has both.
His organization is almost perfect and
his method of keeping in, touch with
, the individual voters is one of the finest
ever invented Under the circlimsta nces
, the. odds are against Miller. It is a
contest of strategy, regardless of princi-
pies and of what the voters believe in
and it would be almost miracle should
the editor of Luverne win out against
these obstacles"
There is such a thing as smashing an
organization. The Free Press is of the
opinion that therepublicans will rise to
the occasion in spite of the manipula-
lions of the so-called machine and nomi-
nate MIR. Miller for, congressman upon
the issue of tariff revision.

Railroad Freight Rates.

The Cannon Falls Beacon this week
discusses the railroad rate discrimination
in vigorous style, and calls attention
to the resolution, adopted at the meet
ing during last winter, of the Mime
sofa Municipal and Commercial league,
which reads as follows:
'Be it resolved, that the Minnesota
Municipal and Commercial league, in
state convention assembled, hereby rec
ommend the passage of law by the
next legislature of this state which SHALL
give to the Minnesota railroad and
warehouse commission the authority and
power, after hearing and investigation,
to fix what shall be a reasonable maxi
mum rate of freight charges upon all
lines of railroad in the state of Min
nesota; said rate to be prima facie rea-
sonable and just until decided otherwise
by court of competent jurisdiction, and
that pending any litigation that may
arise the railroad companies shall charge
the rate established by said commission"
The Beacon goes on to say that ''in a
suit brought before the interstate COM
mission last year by the Cannon Falls
Farmers Elevator company against the
Chicago Great Western Railway ROM
pa1ly involving a case of rate discriln;na-
ton the law was found to be inadequate
to cover the situation 1t is but week
Or two since The Mortified News con-
tanned an editorial on the subject, and
