THE BENNINGTON BANNER, FKIDAY, APRIL 20, 1894. I would ank ono sorious miostion. and ask for a eerious answov. FirSt, Wborein doos tlio forcfolnB statomont vary from the trutli? Heoonu, if in commou war, tboy wlio trado with tho onomios of thoir country, and Supply thom with storos, aro punished as Tories, why aro not tUoso raore so, who at this prcscnt timo of universal struggle throughout tho clvilizcd world. trado in ardent siririts? I Iiodo tbat no ono will trado in ardeut spirits until lio cau clcar himsolf by an honest, satisfactory answor. All that are not for us aro aeainst us, and aro our cneuiies. (Writton bv an old Revolutionary sol dior in 1834. when tho writor was 84 vcars old. Tho stvle shows old aco. but the subjeot and facts belong to tho pres- cnt ago as woll.) Ono of tho Dauchters of the Revolu tion found tho documeut among old papers. Some of Bennlngton's Trotters. Tho announcomont of the coming racos on tho North Bennington Driving Track, Juno Oth and 7th, has alroady awakened rauoh intorost among tho local horsemon. who havo alroady begun jog- trinir their horses in antioipation of tbat v event. Among tboso whioh tho Banneb scribe has nottccd on tno streota are uio fdlowintr from tho stable of Goorgo P, Lvonard, prosidont of tho association, and who broucht out tho fast maro Joan.Hast scason: Alicia by Aloyono (his youngcat daughter), dam Mercedes a.yu: siio uy uooawin's cnampion. Alicia will bo enterod for the flrst timo this soason in somo of the slowcr classes, Sabloson, 3 years old, by Lcs Wilkes, own brothor to Sablo Wilkos, out of producing dam by Bollfounder, has win tered in line shapo and should go fast this season. As a two-ycar-old, he showed botter than a 2.38 olip last sa son, when he was not fully acclimated. To-day ho is in fino shape, has all tho qualitics of a raco horse, and is safe for anvnnn r.n drivn. Goodstock. bv Com- Btook, 8,340, dam by Polonious, is an- otner tnreo yoar om tnat wui oe cnioroa for the flrst time tlus soason. Jio prorn isos well, and it will bo surprising if ho does not win somo of tho raccs in whioh bo will oe entered. C. E. Galusha's b. m. Blanoho Peaco- maker, 2.34, is boing bandlod by a vet- eran trainer in Cambridgo, N. Y. Sho is one of tho bandsomcst pieocs of borso ilesu in town. as woll as ono ot tne sat cst drivers. It would not surpriso any- ono if iho should got insido the list this season. Foggy, who holds tho obampionsbip of the State, 2.13, and owncd by W. H. Bradford of this villane, has wintered with A. P. Mo Donald at Island Tark. Troy. He has oomo out in good shape and it is confidently oxpectcd tbat ho will rcdcem his record this soason. Frank Burcess has the favorito pacer. Frank Burcess. 2.22, well known on all tho raco tracks in this section. Ho is iu fino shapo for tho season's work, and bis friends oxpeet that he will reduco his record soveral seconds beforo tho season closes. Anothor ono is Lindale, 2.371, a direct dcscendant of Rydsyks' Hambletonian 10. Others aro Tnll, a 4- ycar-old llliy, wlio as a 3-jear-oia, gained a record of 2.39, and Erama B., 2.37. Amonc thoso of his stable who will raako their dobut on tho turf this year aro, Beulah B., a threo-year-old, and Lindune. botn promisincr coits. At North Bennington, H. C. White has in training Sydnoy Vonur, 4 years old, by Sydney. Ho has no record but will probably be enterod in tho 2.40 class.

Roberts is driyinc tho b g., Wesloy, 2.35, sired by Electric, ho by Electioner, and who, judgmg from his actions, will materially reduco his rec ord this summor. MOVING AGAINST FAST DAY. It looks as though tho next legislaturo will bo asked to abolish Fast Day in Vor- mont, as tho desiro for its abolishmcnt is lindtng abundat oxpression through tho prcss and tho peoplo. It is said tbat tho GoTernor in his messago to tho next leg islature is willing to recommend aboli tion, as tho day has almost ceased to be observed in a rcligious spirit. Tho puns ter now oalls it a "Farco" day, and tho majority of the peoplo scom to regard the namo as proper as any. Tbe St. Johns bury Calcdonian insists tbat tho legis laturo shall abolish Fast Day and mako a holiday of August 10th, the annivorsary of the Battlo of Bennington, as tho oc casion would then havo a historical sig nificance and could be observed with a patriotic spirit. It suggests that tho new holiday bo callcd "The sixteenth of August," or, as has been proposcd by one or two promlnent men of tne State, "Bennington" day. Tho Battlo of Ben nington is gonorally conceded by histori ans, to bo the pivotal battle of tbe Revo lution, and its annivorsary comes at a time ot the year whon outdoor festivi- RaRliusp.ttn h.is rpnnntlr sihnlinVind Vsiat. av nn thn nrrniinn rhit:rliorn waa n tntnl abfaicnco of eyory proper obscrvanco of tho cUay, and a new holiday, named aftor a famtons RoTolutionary battlo, bas beon establiuMied.

Ever sinco tho case of John O'Ncil was decided in tho Snpremo Court, and he was taken to the Work Houso in Rut land for conflnomont, an effort has been going on to sccure his rolease. Ten days ago a petition asking for tho rcmitting of bis fino, ovcr $600, was prcsented to tho governor. This tho govornor do clincd to do, or pardon bim for the un oxpircd term that be has got to servo. His answer to tho potitioners is quito ex plicit. Tho governor takos tho ground that O'Nell moved from Rutland to Whltehall, N. Y., for the oxpross pur poso of interforing with and brcaking down tho nxciso laws of Vermont, and that hi acted as ho dld with tho full knowledgo of what awaited him. The adTortislng agoncy- of N.
