An Appeal TO All Fair-Aainded
People.

IN those cities where the Protestants are
awakening and the Romanists are in a
minority, they are publishing pleas for peace
and fraternity, using the above headline to
disarm prejudice.
But in those cities where Protestants are
asleep and Romanism in the majority, the
brutal intolerance of Catholicism is Just as
aggressive as it was On the day the knights
of Columbus murdered William Black.

to lynch was the act, of Roman Catholics

Trainor Fails to Answer BatcheIder.

Wallace Batchelder of Bethel ad-
dressed letter recently to Raymond
TrainOr, secretary of the Local Option
league, asking some questions of him
concerning the law and the saloon
The meat of the communication is as
follows:
In Volume 3, paragraph l, sixth
edition of the great authoritative
book on law by Simon Greenleaf, l.
L, D., emeritus professor of law in
Harvard university, we read:
"a crime is defined to be an act,
committed or omitted in violation of a
public law. either forbidding or com
manding it. In the common law,
crimes are divided into three classes
treasons, felonles and misdemeanors
All public wrongs below the degree of
felony, are cIassed as misdemeanors,
and may be the subject of Indictment.
either at common law or by statute
Misdemeanors. again, are divided into
two classes: mala in Sc, and mala pro
hibita. In the former class is COM
prised whatever mischieviously affects
the person or property of another. or
openly OutrageS decency or, disturbs
public order. or is injurious to public
morals, or is breach of official public
duty, when done wiIlfully ard corrupt
iy. The latter comprises the doing of
any matter of public grievance. forbid
den by statute, or the emitting any
matter of public convenience commend
ed by statute. but not otherwise
Iy made indictable, or visited with al y
specific penalty. by the statute.'
Mr. Batchelder then says:
IF tho hi n
order, or is injurious TO public morals,
or mischievousIy affects the person or
property of another it is a wrong in
itself, nahum In Sc If wrong in itself,
| then you and | will agree that neither
the state nor any other governmental
instrumentatity. nor any Individual has
any right to permit that wrong to be
committed, even for a sum of money

Ambitious Newport.

Following the advice of the Express
and Standard the village of Newport
has purchased the so-called "Brady
lott between that place and West
Derby, with the expectation that a
fine hotel will soon be erected there
upon. The Express and Standard
hopes for the time when the villages of
Newport and West Derby. which are
practically one already, will be legally
consolidated. and that the citizens of
the combined municipality will work
together to make it one Of the largest
villages in the entire state. Well,
why not? Newport has scenic advan-
tages such as are possessed by no other
place in the state, save Burlington,
and there are forests in its vicinity
that will afford perpetual material for
manufacturing, f rightly husbanded,
while the adjacent region is one of the
finest fruit and agricultural sections of
the entire state. The Newport of the
future ought to have a population of
10000, going on to $1,000 with aspira-
tons for city form of government

Endowed Churches.
The Barton Monitor and the Rutland
Herald, IN discussion concerning the
condition of rural churches in the state,
note that the Congregational church at
Westfie)d has an endowment of $14, 900,
which yields, at five per cent. the sum
of $500 per year for maintenance. If
this sum were supplemented by ade-
quate gifts by the people of that Sec
ton the church would certainly be
enabled to splendidly serve the field by
all kinds of modern rural service, as
we'll as by the direct preaching of the
gospel. And the Herald rightly lays
strong stress upon the fact that the
modern minister who succeeds in
rural parish must enter into the every
day life of the people, and prove him
self worthy leader in earthly as we'll
as in heavenly affairs: And large
endowment, rightly used and supple
mented, could nightly aid in this
direction. However, it is often the
case that the existence of such an
endowment tends to dry up the springs
of generosity upon the part of church
members, and leads them to rely upon
their vested funds rather than upon
their own gifts and so narrows their
sympathies and lessons their activities.
Endowed churches have not been
uniform success in Vermont, or else
where. 1t would be better to bestow
gifts upon some domestic missionary
organization, so that the income could
be administered in proportion as the
local churches proved themselves
worth of such largess. -Springfeld Re-
porter.
