BY the Governor.

Our readers and the people of the state
are to be congratulated upon the fact that
the Legislature of Vermont has accom-
plished its labors (2) after certain WY,
and that the several members thereof are
on their way home. If they have accom-
plished no particular good or committed
very mar grievous errors in their collec-
tive capacity, they, certainly. will be more
harmless in the respect; towns Of their

stituents OF the majority will carry their

SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS AND
LAWS

The clergy of New York and Brooklyn
have been thrown into a frenzy of excite
ment on account of the opening of some
half dozen theatres, or "paces of amuse-
ment" on Sunday night. From the cur
rent of their remarks and it was general
topic of pulpit oratory-it would seem that
they had, heretofore, been in ignorance of
the fact that it was no uncommon thing
for 'places of amusement" to be in full
blast on Sunday evening as well as on
other evenings of the week. We appre-
bend, moreover, that some of these same
clergymen, with many of the most devout
members of their congregations, are inca
surably responsible for the present innova-
ton. Years ago, Sunday was observed as
such throughout the Countrywide vice and
immortality practiced upon that day being
hidden from the public eye So it should
always have been observed, having due re-
gard for the right of conscience and the
freedom to worship God In accordance
with the dictates thereof. Unfortunately,
as we are entering upon the last quarter of
the nineteenth century all is changed ex-
cept in few portions Of the country. Not
that Il secret violation of the laws of God
is any better for its cloak, or
any the less to be avoided than open
and fragrant exhibitions of immortality
and vice, DO not misunderstood Us. We
do not propose, now and here, to condemn
or approve of the opening of ''places of
amusement" on the evening of Sunday.
There is much to be said on both sides of
the question, many considerations TO be
borne in mind, and much may depend up
on the character of the particular "amuse-
ment. Furthermore, 1t is to be considered
whether the whole question does not be-
long and should not properly be reunited to
the court of conscience, each man deter
mining the matter for himself according to
the best light he can obtain. This would
seem to be the American view, reasoning
from analogy, as we are all very much in
the habit of determining moral and reli-
gious questions, each man for himself,
without regard to bulls, dogmas, creeds OF
catechisms. But, as we have said, great
change has come over the country, relative
TO the observance of Sunday, during the
last half or quarter of century. Whether
the innovation was first made by the church
or the "world's people" we will not pre-
tend to say. Whichever may have been
the first in the field, the other was not fai
in the rear, The cause of the innovation
is more easily found in the growth of llbe.

The Bounty on hears.

In the house, on Friday, the question be-
ing on proposition to increase the bounty
for killing bears, and to pay Sl5 for the
first, SIT to the second, $40 for the third,
1921 for the fourth, $23 for the fifth, and
S25 for the sixth killed, Mr.. Danforth, of
Barnard, showed himself worthy sue
cessor to the irrepressibe Moses e. Cheney.
He spoke substantially as follows:
81 have the honor to represent a town
somewhat distracted by bears, and shall ask
of this house the passage of this bill. From
those members who have never seen q bear
we shall expect no sympathy; but from
those who have, we expect aid One of
my constituents, who is man of SOME
note and a sheep owner to some extent,
kept his sheep upon one of our mountain
pastures, as described in the bill before us.
He had heard rumors that bears were in the
neighborhood, and OF the great destruction
they were making; 81 he started out one
morning, tolook after his favorite flock, and
went up the steep side-hil until he ar

not the bears-but they were followed by
a bear. To stem the torrent of those sheep,
Mr.. Speaker, was impossible, and my
friend soon lost his feet and over he went,
and over the man went the Sheppard
over the man went the bear. hope the
House will bear with me moment longer,
Mr.. Speaker When my friend had col
lected himself and got upon his feet, he
made tracks up the hill, and the bear,
when he found who he had run over, went
the other way with all the speed he could
muster. And, Mr.. Speaker, that bear IS
still at large and hope will come within
the six that this bill proposes to catch. The
bear idea of the state of Vermont barely
paying nominal bounty for the destruc-
tiLn of bears looks to me, Mr.. Speaker,
bearish."
| And the bear idea of such speech upon
such subject took the House by surprise,
and Mr.. Danforth's remarks were greeted
with hearty applause throughout.
