for redress of person. grievances. On
the other hand it habeen esteemed
mark of manhood, ofbold, manly cour-
age to take the law iso ones own hand
and avenge real orsupposed wrongs.
This has been the ashal plea of many
murderer, and enrts and juries have
been found veal apenough to step in and
countenance AM sustain the plea on the
flimsy pretens of sham insanity.
Back of this, 90 there has been and still
is a grave dificulty, which, unless rem
edied, willprove fatal. In our assumed
infallibilty, we decide for ourself what
laws are worthy of our respect and
obedience Only last week, at the meet
ing of the State Board of Mining and
Agriculture, it was stated, and the OBJ
servation of every person must convince
them of its truth, that linen who are
honest in ordinary business matters win
cheat in working on the highways"
This is not by any means an isolated
case, and we only refer to it because it
was so recently brought out in public
discussion. Any one at all familiar
with our laws can recall, almost without
reflection, long list of ordinances and
statutes that are daily and hourly openly
violated by men who call themselves
law-abiding citizens Aside from being
violation of law, the act may involve
no moral turpitude but who is to draw
the distinction Can any in fact be
drawn? If we once commence to make
the distinction, the end will be utter
lawlessness and crime What is and
must be the inevitable effect upon chill
dren and young men, except to teach
them that their judgment, not the law,
is to decide these matters When asked
why certain laws are not enforced, is
not the invariable answer, public senti-
ment does not demand it? This is no
adequate or even colorado excuse. All
laws should be enforced or repealed.
The public safety demands it, not only
for its own sake but as lesson and ex-
ample to the youth of the land The
must inevitably, sooner or later, lead to
a disregard of the binding force of all
laws This sentiment aud feeling, or
want of sentiment and feeling, can only
tend to more and more crime. 1t per-
haps involves the origin of Fosters
crime, which seems so inexpHcable to
his pastor and physician. We all know
its demoralizng tendency, and the rem
edy 50 far rests with the people alone.
The first step in the breaking down of
the hedges around society by the laws
of the land is necessarily the most diff
cult to be taken. This taken the others
follow naturally in order Let us, by |
due respect for and observance of all |
laws render that first step both difficult |
and dangerous, as well as unmanly and I
disreputable.

ExcELLENr APPOINTMENT

An EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT. -
Among the recent appointments by the
President and confrmations by the Sen
ate, we noticed that Of our friend, Hon.
Philip II. Emerson, now Of Michigan,
as Associate Justice of the United States
Court in the Territory of Utah. This is
al excellent appointment and we con-
gratulate Judge Emerson on his de-
served advancement. He will be re-
membered by many of our readers as a
student of law in the office of our
townsman, Hon. David E. Nicholson,
then a resident of Wallingford. He re-
moved to Michigan, entered upon sue
ctssful practice of his profession, and is
now serving his second term in the State
Senate, being President pro tem Of that
body. The Lansing Republican, in no.
ticing the appointment and his connec-
ton with the Senate, says: No man
in either body commands more respect
from his fellow legislators for judicial
fairness of mind, broad legal ability,
power of condensed statement, and
agreeable personal qualities. 1t would
be hard to select from the whole State a
gentleman better qualified for this posi-
ton, or one whose elevation viii be
more generally approved. We under
stand Mr.. Emerson will accept the
office"

CosT OF OPERATING RAILROADS In
the Vermont & Canada and Vermont
Central railroad hearing at St. Albans,
Tuesday, Gyles Merrill testified that he
had been Superintendent Of the Central
railroadf for fourteen years. He thought
that it cost a larger percentage to oper-
ate the road now than It did ten years
ago. The percentages vary from
seventy to eighty-five per cent. of the
gross earnings, or an average Of about
seyenty-seven and half. He was
somewhat familiar with other New
England roads. Thought from seventy
to eighty per cent. is the cost of operat-
ing. Our roads are free from taxation,
aud some of the other New England
roads are not.

/ A SECOND RIP VAN WINKLE. jose
phus Manley, who was born and has al
ways lived in Pittsford and who will be
sixty-four years of age next May, came
to Rutland yesterday for the first time in
forty years, He never rode on the cars
before in his life, except few rods on
gravel train once, at the time the Rut-
land and Burlington railroad was being
built. and he is of the opinion that car
riding is "a very smooth way of getting
over the ground" He was never out OF
the State but once when he staid over
night at cold Til" He lives now and
has always lived, on the farm in Pitts
ford where he was born, about six miles
from the railroad. He says he was
never in the village of Rutland but once
before, which was over forty years ago,
when, as he says, she was compelled
to come to muster or he wouldn't have
come them

Spring and Winter.
BY OWEN MEREDITH.

The world buds every year;
But the heart just once, and when
The blossom falls Off sere
No new blossom comes again.
All! the rose goes with the wind,
But the thOrns remain behind.
Was it well i'll him, if he
Felt notloye, to speak of love so:
If he still unmOVed must be,
Was it nobly sought to move so:
Pluck the flower and yet not wear it
Spurn, despise it, yet not spare it
Need he say that / was fair,
With such meaning in his tone.
just to speak of one whose hair
Had the same tfnge as my own:
Pluck my life up, root and bloom,
Just to plant it on her tomb
And she'd scarce SO fair face
so he used to say) as mine;
And her form had far less grace:
And her brow was far less fine;
But twas just that he loved then
More than he can love again
Why, if beauty could not bind him,
Need he praise me, speaking low;
Use my face just to remind him
How no face could please him now
Why, if loving could not move him
Did he teach me still to love him?
And he said my eyes were bright,
But his own lie sad, were ann
And my hand, he said, was white;
But what was that to him?
For" he said, ''in gazing at You,
| seem gazing at statue"
Yes" he said, she had grown wise now,
He had suffered much of yor6,
But fair grace to his eyes now,
Was q fair face and no more,
Yet the anguish and the bliss,
And the dream, too, had been his"
why, those words, thought too tender
For the commonplaces spoken?
Looks whose meaning seemed to render
Help TO words when speech came broke
Why SO late in July moonlight
Just to say what's said by moonlight?

COMMENTS By THE HERALD.

We would respectfully call the attention
of the proper authorities to the contents
of the above communication, and urge
upon them the necessity of doing their
whole duty in the premises at once, and,
if necessary, keep doing it. This is not
the first time our attention has been
called to the matter, or the first time
that we have urged the abatement of
this intolcrable nuisance. We have,
elsewhere, urged the necessity and i'm
portance of the prompt enforcement of
all laws. and we need not say more here
and now. Let the police do their whole
duty, and they will be sustained by pub
lie sentiment

CORNER LoAFERs. Editor Rutland
Herald Monday evening, as | was
passing through Merchants Row, | was
insulted by some "corner loafers at
either end of the street, who made indie

is not the first time that ] have. been in
suited by these degraded vagabonds who
infest the corners every evening in full
force, chew tobacco and spit on the
sidewalks, and sometimes on ladies'
dresses, and pass all sorts of indecent
remarks on passers-by and it seems to
be getting worse year after year. Now,
Mr.. Editor, is there not law to prevent
these leafers from congregating at the
corners of our public streets, blocking
up the sidewalks and compelling ladies
to pass as best they can? Would |
were a man, and had the authority of
police officer / can tell you that cor.
ner loafing would speedily come to an
end in Rutland. | don't believe that
there is another place in Vermont where
this nuisance is tolerated. hope that
there will be no further cause for CON-
plant, but that the proper authorities
viii take the matter in hand and enforce
the law in this respect, if any there be,
and thereby maintain good order in our
streets and protect ladies from being in
suited at every corner they come to.
