The Investigation of the alleged crooked
deal in Barre. whereby an illegal dealer in
liquor was said to have been warned of an
approaching raid, did not result in an V action
by the board of alderman. After hearing the
case the aldermen decided that there was no
wroDgdoing on the part of the officials, and
they concluded, further that the report that
a Tip" had been given was founded on ru-
NOR alone. 1t is stated that nothing further
will be done with the matter. The policemen
were censured fornot reporting to the police
committee of the board of aldermen what
ever charge or allegation is made against
any member of the force.
The file kept in the Office of the state sinner.
intendent of education at Montpelier of the
names of clerks in the various towns and
cities OF Vermont, brings out an interesting
fact. In the 246 cities aud towns of the sta tie
only seventeen changes were made at the
March elections, of town and city clerks.
Since that election j. H. Carpenter. who was
re elected Town Clerk Of Richford. has died
and II. H. Rounds has been elected in his
place. This makes total of eighteen changes
out of GAG officers. A further interesting fact
shown is that ex-Gov. Samuel E. Pipgree has
been town clerk of the town of Hartford for
Al years.

Honesty Paws.

Jacob A. Riis in a recent discussion
OF the slums of American cities said
that it was dishonest for rich men to
draw huge rents frOmsqualid and un-
wholesome tenements. "These men, "
he said, "claim to be honest, but their
honesty reminds me Of a theft whom
l knew in my police reporting days.
This thief, a humorist in his way,
was joking me one night in the Bow
cry. Il tell you,' he said, honesty is
the best policy after ALL well, said
l, I'm glad you've found that out at
last. How did you come to discover
it p DO you remember that little
pug dog you saw me with the other
day Well, said the thief, L stole
that dog from an old lady. | tried
to sell it everyw here, but there wasn't
a dealer who would offer more'n 50
for it. So like an honest chap, | re-
turned it to the old lady l had took
fit from and she gave me $40 re-

lynchlng Defended.

A Southern member of Congress
rises in his place and defends lynchiug
His advocacy is not credtabIe to the
administration of justice in his neigh
bOrhOod. Or perhaps the people OF
his locality believe in two kinds OF
Justice. one for the white man accused
of crime, who is to be tried in an or
derby way, with the right to make
out the best case he can in bis own
defense, and the other for the black
man accused of crime, who is to be
strung up or burned at the stake
without any of the court and jury
formalities usually observed in law
abiding region. Sometimes an limo.
cent person is strangled or roasted
alive, and the guilty escapes, but that
is no concern of the mob, which de-
mands a victim and when it has stated
it's vengence loses interest in the case.
Possibly, however, this Representa-
tive does not fairly represent the SEN
timent of his district in this matter.
There is a growing repugnance in the
south to the practice of lynching. The
feeling becomes stonger that in a civ
ilized community the ordinary ma
chinery of justice is sufficient to en-.
sure the proper punishment of male
factors. Statistics show there has
been a material decrease in the num-
Der of lynchings during the past ten
years, and it is hoped that In spite OF
the reactionary views of this Con-
gresham and his like, the mob spirit
will fade away, leaving TO the consti-
tuted authorities the duty of punish
ing criminals.

vERM0NT'S STONE INDUSTRY.
The State Takes First Rank in ProduC-
ton of Monumental Work.

According to report of 1902, just
issued, made by David T. Day, chief
of division of mining and mineral re-
sources, of the United States, YER
mont takes first rank among the
states in monumental work. Yer
mont ranks fourth place in granite
productions. The printed report
contains 80 pages of carefully com
piled statistics of the stone industries
of the United States. The previous
mining census was made in 1889 90.
The report of 1902 states that the
stone industry Of '02, though show
ing a large increase in value of pro-
duction, has not exhibited an unusual
state of activity, not nearly so much
so AS in the previous year.
Under the head of granite. Vermont
shows an increase of 1884 595 in 'O2
over that of 'O1. The greater part
of the stone produced is used for
monumental work.
Slate product in the United States
showed an increase of nearly 81 ,00O,-
900. This increase was principally in
SuDE,y lNohi1 dhu fSIL DOuI. oI-
mont ranks second in this product;
producing 26 per cent of the total for
the United States. The valuation of
the increase during the year was
1854 800 in roofing slate and a loss
of $51,173 in milled stock. The re-
port further states that "the demand
for Vermont slate for this year was
greatly in excess of the supply and
still greater output is predicted for
1903" The production of marble
for that year fell off slightly in this
state. THE value of the marble in
Vermont in 1902 was So 62S,164 ;
In 1901 was $2,753,5S3. There
we're, however, toward the latter part
of the year, several new quarries
opened, or old quarries reopened, and
the output for 1908 will probably be
Increased"

DEVASTATING THE FOREST

If there is one evil now in the
South greater than another, it is
that of the destruction of our once
magnificent forest. Aside from the
effect that the clearing of our lands
has upon the rain fall and tie
streams, the waste committed in
the magnificent and valuable woods
OF the country, is incalculable.
Some few years ago u number Of
saw mill men passed through this
country and bought the growing
timber at their own prices and for
Il minimum part of its value.
Our people were uninformed as
to the value Of the magnificent
pine, oak and hickory that grew
i'll abundance in the low lands and
upon the nills, and in nearly every
case the contract of purchase and
sale gave the right to cut all timber
OF every kind, ten inches and above
at the stumpagc. Not satisfied
with simply cutting and saving in
to lumber, pine trees ofevcry kind,
they demanded and HOW claim the
righ: Of tenudinG the forest Of pop
lar, oak, hickory and walnut.
We understand that there are
now pending in the supreme Court
several cases in reference to these
purchases, and that there are a
number of additional cases ready
for trial in this, Marion and other
Counties, involving Il construction
of the options Of purchase and con
tracts Of sale. What the result
will be, of course, no one can tell,
but the questions involved, i'll the
interest OF right, justice, and pub
lie policy, demand the closest scru-
tiny and investigation by an able,
unprcjudiccd and conscicntiousjud-
iciary. While the dctcnccs i'll tho
different eases are not exactly sim
liar, certain principles "i' equity
ty and justice, so we are informed
arc involved, and the decision OF
the eases now pending by the Sup
RENE Court, may affect materially
those pending on Circuit "Lct
justice be done though the Heavens
fall"
