THE SUBTERFUGES OF THE PEOPLE. Devious Ways Through Which the Nimrod Must Pass Betore “Wet Bait" is S red—A Trio of Isnak Waltons, n, Vt., Juno 20.—[Special to Tk enator Mauderson is on his first visit to Vermont and some of his experiences with prohivition will afford him useful infor- mation to be avplied to the situation in Ne- braska. He is accompaniea by Mrs. Mander- son, and bofére coming here they were at Northampton, Mass., where the senator ap- peared in a new role and one with which ho is s0 well satistied, that he is likely to tey it again. The cause of the senator's visit to Northampton wus a commencement at Smith college, whore Mrs, Manderson had a cousin among the graduates this year, and it re- sulted in tho senator being called on to de- liver an extamporancous address to a class of seventy-five sweet college graduates, The girls were churmed, iv is said, and tho sena- tor has discovercd that ho has a talent hith- orto unsuspected. Since arrivi tertained by Edmuy v in Rutland he has been en. rotary Proctor and Senator eral Anson McCook with his family is with the tenator. MeCool is a rare portsman, 50 is tho senator, and in Edmunds thoy find & kindred spirit. 'During tho weelk the trio have beeu bass fishing up_on Lake Champlain whero tho fish bit faster than the mosquitoes and were no small fry eithe ~Among ull the experiences of Ma 1s likely ho will longest rememby counter with (ireen Mountain prohibition. McCoolk of the fighting MeCooks nnd secro- tary of the honorable senato of the United States arrived here about two weeks ago and when the time drew near for Manderson's 1t happened hesaw the propriety of securing somo refreshments. Now, the landlady is the widow of a former overnor at that and an_arrant prohibition- fik: 80 1t was with grlof sho siw MeCook sail in with a scal suited to liquid refresh- ments and heard him ask if there was any- thing in the bouse. No, there wasn't, not a drop, and the only place she knew of was the “Agenc, Now, the **Ageucy’ is an institution that flourishes ko a bay tree in Rutlend. Its supposed that no spirituous drinks are dis- pensed vxcept at the “Agency,” and that all thus sold are for legitimate uses and not for rofreshmont as & bevorage. That's oue of those beliefs that makes good people happy and doosn't interfere seriously with anybody else, McCook found the *Agency without any trouble. It is not at allan ostentatious bui'd- ing, being about as large s & good-sized dug out’ with a meek looking piuzza, wher the snake club meet to swap stovies calculated to make a Jan swear he hus bec inside tho Ageney.' There is oue chair and deal table inside, and in tuefroar a small room where tho stock in wado is kept. The town hives the whito whiskerod agont, furnishes the stock and ikes the profits, and you can count on thers oolng plenty of those: McCook confidentially banded sver und with placid’ assurance whiskers to “fill ber up.’ But tho law was curious. o~ want it forl Medicine " ‘Dirink, of course.

Noone trusted him. No onc would break the law, und the gencral began to think he'd have a fine example of prohibition prohibiting to hold up to the Nebraskan's eves. When just ahead he spied a inan with a gait that nover would be taken for a bee line, As he walked slowly and despondently alouj the gait wound into a side door and thero was a glimpso of an interior that was better than ico water in a desert. There was a bar—a reui bar; make-believe, but with all the furn even to # dozén wen pouring Kentucks down their Rutlana gull Of course the snd journey was over, but it wasn't muny days before Senator 'Mauderson, who had meantime arrived, found himself taking a first lesson in Rutland liquor laws. In the Manderson's traveling trimmings is a small spirit lamp that was yawning when they reached Rutland, and before it could be used a two-ounce vial had to be filled with alcohol. Now alcohol is a favor- ite beveruge up here. Half water and half alcohol will thaw twenty dogrees of frost out of any Vermonter and the unsuspecting senator had a delicate job ahead., With a two-ounce vial in his pocket and McCook by his side he attacked the first apothecary’s, as innocent of probibition as a three-year-old, But the drugeist was ob- durate. No two-ounce vial would he fll with alcoliol, not even for a spirit lamp, and he wasn't quite sure the lamp was in it at all, and directed mildly surprised senator to the “Agency,” the same old “Agency” that MeCook hud met and surrendered to. Nothing daunted by the recollection of the general's fate, the lected his sur- casm and bracoed up to the bowhiskered agent with “Will you tell me what is the process of securing that two-ounce vial full of alcohol ! otany money in your pawkitt?” drawled Muanderson looked positive the tty well covered “Then that's all you need,” This was 80 simple the senator was stag- gored. “Do you meun you sell liquor under a li cense for your own selft” “No; U'm an awent of the corporation and the selectmen pick out all the liquors,” Manderson's mind grasped the situation and gasped. Suppose Omaha ran an sgency and tho city council had a chance to samplo its supph Probably there wouldn’t be enough voters to furiish a vote all around for the canaidates. “pere tho stock s, and he ushered the now appreciative senator iuto a little back rcom. 'Thero was revealed jugs, hogsheads and burrels marked “eluret,” “port,” Swhis- ky,” “brandy,” and s0 ou, making about as 0od an assortment as any first class bar could provide. I sell these,” said the agent with & generous wave of his hand, *for med- feinal, mechauical sad chewioal purposes only.'t “Now, my good man," rotus son, persunsively, ‘‘aron’t you perfe aware that uine-tenths of ull the liquor selt hore s for use as o beverage!” No, I don't."! “But don't you reaily think sot" o, I dow'i think s V't you keep other liquors Yes, all knds of wines,” and another door was opened, “Beer, 1 suppose s, aud champague, 0o, npagne, heyl What brand do you his surprise, but was ng of his pocket was wen Mande Extra Dry v good, too.

The letter says: As soon as Grand Secretary Vincil's ad- dress had been begun I entered the opera house, but did not take a reserved seat, or indeed any <eat, as I iutended to stay but short while, and was thers at all wholly to show respect toward my fellow-citizens, and especinlly my own townsmen and neighbor As soon s Grand Secretary Vineil had ar- rived at that point in his address whero he wais to explain the word “free’ in the order’s title of ‘‘Ancient, Irce awd Accopted Masonry,” he took oceasion to refer very forcivly to “another institution” that was and is,according to a conservative recalling of his lunguage, anything but freedom-loving, froedom-producing or freedom-preserving; an institution that he did not heritato to designate with fierco emphasis as “damna- bie” and “up to its neck in blood,” ete.; an “institution plotting now aeainst and u mining or seexing to undermine American free institutions ;" an “institution that only three weeks ago sought toprovent our order from luying the corner-stono of the new city nall in St. Louis.” At this Juncture, and speaking simply as a citizen, I said: ‘**Fhat must be contradictod, sir,” meaning that T could not see my way to shirk what scemed to me the duty of & con- tradiction of the entire passage of impas- sioned oratory., Aftera notable pause, dur- ing which nothing was said in reply, 1 added slowly: “I will take my leave,” or words to that effect, but_before reaching the foot of the stairs and tho door leading to the street [ heard Grand_Secretary Vineli comment Chat's he!
