position to force an increase Of taxes by
making debts that must be paid. Doubt
less the present board of trustees will be
wary and considerable, will be careful not
to spend a dollar over the appropriation,
and will take pains to see that every item
of expenditure Is made for necessary pur-
poses and laid out in a proper manner.
When the people become satisfied of this
they will no doubt vote more when more
Is shown to be needed.
1t was not calculated to make people
stand on their heads to raise money when,
as Mr.. Simons said on Saturday night, the
last board, having been authorized to spend
$4,000, spent $4,000. Part of this is
known to have been improvidently expend-
ed, and the rest has not been investigated
thoroughly. The village may have got the
benefit of all this uninvestigated portion
and it may not. 1t is enough to say thai
the people were in the dark. The ARABS
were not those who objected to these mys
teries, but those who made them. We ex
pect better things from the present board

The trustees need tax of about twenty
five cents. This is different from saying
the village meeting ought to have voted so
much. There is such thing as stamping
the acts of public officers with reprobation.
Although we might say that the charges
made by Miner billiard in his destructive
speech, were partially irrelevant in their
application to the subject before the meet
ing as to whether this board of trustees
should have IS or 20 or 25 cents, yet it was
not wholly irrelevant. The question was
somewhat discussed previously to the last
election, and the substitution of four new
trustees for four of the last board might
have been regarded as trial and sentence
by the peoples court, to that extent, and
an acquittal of the remaining three. Yet
other causes may have contributed both tc
the changes and retentions and it is un
deniable that the three trustees holding
over had the apparently neglected oppor
tunity to protest against the Objectionable
measures of the last board. They might
have prevented them, and could AT leas
have cleared their own skirts.
There Is no doubt that retrenchment Il
needed. While the general plan of thu
village is economical while there is moth
ing to complain of justly in regard to thu
cost of gas or expense of lighting lamps o.
watching the streets, or the trihes allowed
the firemen, who do what everybody is no
willing to do-hold themselves in readi
ness to leave pleasant bed in any weather
to give their services freely to the genera
good and while the village felt willing t.
vote money and did vote 1t for JUS
these purposes on Saturday night
yet beyond and aside from these tn,
people were not willing to go till they
could see their way clearly; for In thu
matter of streets and highways and sewer

DishonOrable Human Nature.

A great catastophey may develop the dis
honorable as well as the honorable in hui
man nature. According to the Halifax
(N.S) Citizen, Edmund Ryan and sixteen
others of Prospect, have lbeled the cargo
of wrecked goods from the Atlantic on
board the schooner Annie c. Brown. The
circumstances are, that as the White Star
Company agreed to pay $40 each for all
the bodies recovered from the wreck, Ryan
and his associates hold that If dead bodies
are worth so much, living ones are worth
more and so they demand salvage on lives
saved. This is asking pecuniary remnu-
Grafton for an act of common humanity.
Money has been subscribed for the Pros
pect people in both England and the
United States, while the Dominion Parlia-
ment has voted large sum. There is also
to be considered the salvage already paid
on wrecked goods. And now the Prospect
people want to be paid for saving human
beings from drowning! Isn't this pushing
the business of wrecking to rather an ex-
treme?

A Suggestive Extract.

The Decoration day orator at Cincinnati
was Rev. DIR. Lilienthal, the well known
Jewish rabbi. Here is suggestive extract
from his peroration' No more illusions
about notification or dissolution. With the
best blood and lives of our country, the
old compact of '76 has been re-sealed and
resigned politically the Union is saved,
and will stand guided by Divine Provi-
dence for evermore. But the question,
the serious question, Scomes to us all : Will
it be morally saved? Will it continue to
shine forth in Republican purity and hon
esty ? Will the Democratic institutions
do not use these words in party spirit
but in the broad and noble sense of the
words-will the Democratic institutions of
our good country continue to be the mes
sengers of liberty, righteousness and self
government to the whole human race? Or
shall corruption, Credit Mobilier rings, po-
litical depravity and mean mammonism
eat away at the vitals of our land, until it
stand a leper, branded outcast before the
worlds emancipation and liberty? Oh, If
such an event would come to pass if poll
ticians and monopolies should be permitted
to continue their highway depredations on
the peoples labor and the peoples treasury;
II we shall have forgotten to shame and to
blush at any national disgrace, then the
days of our glorious Union will be sadly
numbered.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The New Regulations of the COm-
mission.

The following are extracts from the
Civil Service Commission report referred
to in our Geographic dispatches ON Saturday
morning.
The grouping heretofore made for the
executive departments at Washington is
modified by striking out the words "female
clerks, copyists and counters at $500
year" These places being below the
grade of clerkships of class one, selection
may be made by the appointing power at
discretion from those reported competent
being at liberty to give the preference to
such as may be justly regarded as having
the highest claim to public consideration,
by reason of the loss of property oc-
casioned by the death or disability of any
person in defense of the Union, in the
war, or in other public service of the gov
eminent.
Applicants for appointments as cashiers
of collectors of CUSTOMS cashiers of assist
ant treasurers, cashiers of postmasters, SUI
perintendents of money order divisions in
post offices, and other custodans for large
sums of public moneys, for whose fidelity
another officer has given official bonds, may
be appointed at discretion, but this rule
shall not apply to any appointment to
position grouped below the grade of assist
ant teller. In case of the defalcation or
embezzlement of public money, or any
other emergency calling forth immediate
action, where the public service would be
materially injured unless the vacancy is
promptly filled, without resorting to the
methods of selecting and appointment pre-
scribed by the rules and regulations, or
where a vacancy happens at place re-
mote and difficult of access, and the
methods prescribed for filling it cannot be
applied without causing delay injurious to
the public service, the appointment may
be made at discretion, but this rule should
not apply to any place which is provided
to be filled under the rules of competitive
examination.
For the purpose of bringing the exami-
nations for the civil service as near to the
residences of those desiring to be examined
as the appropriation at the command of
the president will warrant, and for the fur
ther purpose of facilitating, as far as pract-
icable, the making of selections for such
service equally from the several portions
of the Union, while at the same time pre-
serving the principle of promoting merit as
tested by fair competition, it is provided
that the states. shall be grouped into five
districts. The president will employ or
designate suitable person to be chief ex-
aminer, whose duty 1t will be, subject to

The village meeting did a very good
y. III. -. C..,,rlox, IL ,royidpd

The village meeting did very good
evenings work on Saturday. 1t provided
enough to pay current expenses for the pre-
sent, at least, arranged to meet $4OO inter-
est due from last year on water bonds, and
81 500 to come due in July; and also pro-
vided for re-imbursing to the village some
five thousand dollars heretofore paid to
meet interest on water bonds, and which
will now 90 towards the reduction OF the
village debt. As the highway tax is sufii-
Gent for the streets and sidewalks we shall
get along comfortably this year, compare
lively, though there are several matters OF
inheritance to the village that will have to

allow further tax. II the tax which was
voted for sewers, for instance, had been 80
expended as to make good system OF
sewerage, not much if any would he now
needed in that direction. But the fact that
it was injudiciously used is the very reason
more is wanted now--just as a man who
has had a new hat smashed has all the more
reason to buy another new one.

7I@8---I--------
MISS ANTHONY,s CASE.

We were in error on Friday in treating
Miss Anthony's case as having been tried in
a State court. She might have been prose-
cutcd in such court, and one of the
grounds of her attorneys exception to
Judge Hunts decision was that il was not
tried in State court, his position being
that upon the construction given to the
law by the decision there had been only a
violation of the State law, and that the
United States court had no jurisdiction.
We do not agree with Judge Seldom in
this. Miss Anthony was indicted under
the act of Congress of 1870, for having
voted for representatives in Congress in
November, 1872. That act makes voting
an offence where the person voting has no
right to vote. AS that right, 80 Judge
Hunt avcrred, is derived from the consti-
tuition of the State, and not from the con-
stitution of the United States, there must
necessarily be an infraction of State law,
and consequently concurrent jurisdiction
Judge Hunt assumed that If a
State should prohibit any person
from voting who was over
fifty, or had gray hair, or had not all his
limbs perfect, it would not be violation
of the United States constitution. If the
fifteenth amendment had inhibited State
legislatures from abridging the right of any
person to vote on account of race, color,
yea or previous condition of servitude,
Miss Anthonys case would have been sus-
tanned, but the omission of the word 'sex''
was fatal to her claimed right to vote.
OF course, the case being in the United
States Circuit Court it can he taken direct
" by writ of error to the United States Su-
preme Court. But if it had been in State
court, what would have beenits course ? AS
"a Layman" in the Rutland Herald seems
uniformed on that point, and even law
yer might overlook it unless his attention
happened to be called to it, we quote the
provision of the United States law enacted
September "a, 1889:
A final judgment or decree in any suit,
in the highest court of law or equity of q
State in which a decision in the suit could
be had, where is drawn in question
the validity of statute of, or an authority
exercised under any State, on the ground
of their being repugnant to the constitu
ton, treaties or laws of the United States
and the decision is In favor of such theil
validity may Ike re-examined ant
reversed OF affirmed in the Supreme Cour
of the United States upon writ of error.
1t is thus apparent that Miss Anthony
might have been tried in either court, tina
if prosecuted in State court she woult
have to pass through the highest court il
the State, called in some States Supreme
Court and in others Court of Appeals
and that If such highest court should de
eide in favor of the validity of the Stat
law, then she might climb up to the Su
preme Court of the United States.

JULIUS T.. HIGGINS.

Inc removal by ueatn from tne cOHllnu-
nifty of one who has held prominent posi-
tions in the society in which he moved,
and was especially active In the promotion
of public, educational and religious enter
priscs demands more than ordinary men,
ton in the columns of public journal.
The individual whose name stands at the
head of this article, was a representative
man of the State and County, and his pro-
minence in public affairs, and useful life,
make his sudden death, a positive loss to
the State he loved so well and the commu-
nifty in which he SO long dwclt, and of
which he endeavored to promote the up
building and prosperity. In all the rela-
tions of life, the family-the Church-the
school-the business world will the men,
DRY of julius f. Higgins he honored and
his presence sadly missed.
Julius f. Higgins was born in Bridport,
Vermont, April 90, 1917, where he spent
most of his earlier years. When quite a
young man he entered the employ of Paris
Fletcher, Esq, of Bridport, under whose
tuition and guidance he received his first
business training. His early opportunities
for education were limited, but being nat
urally possessed of an undaunted perse-
verance and determination of purpose, by
reading and observation he made up many
of the lacks of an early educational training
and may be said to have acquired more of
an education than large majority of men
with whom he was called upon to mingle
in the relations of life. After leaving the
employ of Mr.. Fletcher he was engaged in
mercantile pursuits at Salisbury for three
or four years previous to his removal to
Brandon in 1874, where ne, for several
years was successful merchant. He was
identified largely with the manufacturing
and financial interests of the town during his
business experience. He became connect
ed with the Brandon bank as a director In
1852, retiring from 1t on the commence
ment of his financial embarrassments, He
afterwards succeeded the late John Simonds
as director of the Brandon National
Bank in 1869, which relation he sustained
until his death. He was appointed post
master by President Lincoln in 1852, sue
ceeding Edward jackson, retiring in Janu
AIRY 1872 to give place to the present post
master George w. Parmenter, Esq. Ii
1851, In connection with the late Hon
John Howe and L. Bixby he commenc
ed the first manufacture of fire brick IL
Brandon, which was carried OH success
fully under the supervision of Hiram Rob
erts for several years. He was first select
man of Brandon, from 1870 to 1871, ant
held many other minor offices, during hi
residence in town.
Mr.. Higgins in connection with Lyman
p. White, organized the Brandon Lin,
and Marble Company. Purchasing lane
and erecting buildings for the burning O.
lime near the depot at Leicester, (what wa
then known as Whiting Station. This enter
prise has been successful In every respec
and the business has constantly increased
