We didn't attend tue Hotel Champlsin
outing of the Fish and Game league last
week and are obliged to depend on press
and other reports for WI hat transpired in
ways political. This is always the initial
scoring-up time when candidates an
nounced make their showing and candi-
dates unannounced expose their bsrome-
tiers and read the signs. The next
governorship is usually the prize ahead
and commands first attention. SO much
does this outing count for, and so
anxious sre the candidates to be reported
back as "leading 10 the canvass" that it
has not been unusual for them to sum-
mon their supporters from different parts
of the state, expenses paid, for made-to-
order demonstration. There were few in
dications OF this last week. The Barrel
in sight, but apparently the spigot only
has been tickIed q little thus far. The
mere threat OF the coming food, It seems,
has not deferred all others from entering
the field, though one or two are yet
hanging back, unwilling to "loosen" as
they would have to il they went in. The
outing demonstrated one thing, however.
IL it did no more. The Barrel isn't like
ly to be the potent thing it has long been
in Vermont politics. Indeed, it seems
to be something OF a handicap to the
candidates depending on it. The ideV
that certain brand of wire workers
would spurn real good money is too good
to be true, however, and we await further
proof before extending fluctuations. The
millennium is not quite here.

onn Merrins Atituee Explained.

II IL foolish to accuse Col. Olin Merrill
OF having s'cold feet" in politics. Every
one conversant with political history
knows better. As chairman OF the Re
publican state committee the Colonel has
achieved Republican victories that were
worth while, even in such a strong hold of
Republication as Vermont. II is quite
possible that Col. Merrill hesitates to en-
ter the gubernatorial race and have the
tactics employed against him that are
likely to be used by man whose highest
recommendations for the place are the
size Of his pocket book and the fact that
be wants the Office. II is not only posi-
bic but altogether probable that Col.
Merrill has some regard for bis fellow cit
liens and therefore has had no desire to
thrust = political campaign onto them a
year or more before the next Republican
state convention. II is likewise pretty
certain that up to this time Col. Merriu's
political opponents have been more wor-
ried about his guberlatorial aspirations
tha3 he has himself. These humble OBJ
servations may also apply to other posi-
bic candidates. The time, however, now
seems to be nearing when aspirants for
the governorship will be warranted in de-
claring their intentions. -North field

1t wasn't the size OF the tax on tea that

the law, and they are being overcharged.
The trouble seems to be traeeahle right
to State Fish and Game Commissioner il.
G Thomas Of Stowe, who prepared the
license blanks and application blanks.
The law says that the hunter shall "sub-
scribe" to his application, but Mr..
Thomas fitted in legal form of oath, to
be taken before qualified officer. The
fee of this officer is twenty five cents and
town clerks who are notaries at once saw
/ a chance to get an extra stipend for the
process of issuing the licenses and some
of them have charged the full fee, while
Others asked only ten cents. The result
is the same as though the fee was seven
ty-five or sixty cents, and as the hunters
counted on paying but half a dollar every
one of them is mad, usually at the town
clerk. Who pleads that he is taking no ex

this whole hunters license business re
mains unchanged. 1t is a piece of rot

Reports state that last weeks Fish and
Game league outing was an orderly and
decorous assemblsge OF gentlemen, as con-
trasted with similar events in the past.
At the risk of calling down the maledic-
tions of Brother Ferguson and others Of
his stripe, we are going to ascribe this I'M
provement directly to the local option

ings were largely organized drunks

everything flowed freely and free. The

aching head vent back home next day.
For those who remember these times,
who were there aud saw, the change. &c
the present is marked. Now, something
besides a drink is thought Of; indeed
this feature is not much thought of. Th,

pointing them out, but here, we hold, i
