ance standpoint. With health and tenn
perance in view, the increase Of the vol
tme through the addition Of water can
not do harm. But il is question if,
knowing that watered liquor was being
sold, the commissioners were not coun-
tenaneing a deception. If purchasers Of
liquor believe they are buying standard
grade liquor when really the dealers are
imposing upon them, why should not
the dealers be called to account for it,
MIX dealers who increase the volume
in their cans by the admixture Of water
are brought to time for it. Liquor deal
ers who pour water into their liquors
are no better than milk dealers who pour
water into their milk. From the eco
nomic standpoint they are both practic-
ing the same deception. Those who prae.
tice the deception do so from a motive
OF personal gain and not for the bene-
ft Of the health and morals OF their Gus.

SELLING wATEREp LIQUORS.

From the annual report Of the license
commissioners OF Burlington one CLEANS
the information that licensed liquor
dealers in that city are praeticing dceep-
tion on the thirsty souls by selling them
diluted liquors, The commissioners state
that they have had 50 samples Of var
lous liquors tested and they find that
many OF them did not conform to the
pharmaeopia standard, which was set up
by the Law for determining the quality
Of liquor sold in Vermont. The liquors
we're, according to the commissioners, Of
good commercial grade" but weak,
ieaffuily weak, through too much adj
mixture Of water. This deficiency was
considered not to serious to be brought
to specific notice. In fact, the commits

RUTLAND's GREAT LOSS.

The calamity which has befallen the
city Of Rutland is the most severe that
any Vermont community has been called
upon to meet for long time. To have
had a great slice Of the business inter
ests eaten out by fire is a setback which
viii take years to recover from. Yet
there is no idea that Rutland viii not
rise to the task and rebuild the burned
area. Let Rutland look TO the city Of
Baltimore for It's inspiration and its
example. The Maryland city, deyas.
tated only few years ago, il now al
r8ost entirely rebuilt. and the work Of
reconstruction is going Oh all The time.
Baltimore is better city intellectually
than before, its buildings are constructed
on more satisfactory lines and are Of
more fire proof materials. Even in the
very heavy loss Baltimore found some
gain. So Rutland, in loss proportion
ately as large, may find some gain. The
entire state extends sympathy to the
Marble City, with all the moral en-
enlargement to its citizens to 80 about
the work Of rebuilding as soon as pos
sible and make better Rutland as
there Is now a better Baltimore.
