useless. They would be utterly without
authorty--and even more ridiculous than
our railroad commissioner.
Now 1t is undeniable that all of the evils
Of which the governor complains exist to
greater or less extent. 1t is undeniable,
too, that remedy is nesded-but it must
be a remedy that does not violate the letter
or spirit of tho constitution or do violence
to the settled convictions Of the people. II
10 not our business to suggest the remedy,
any further than TO say that our whole sys-
TEN of laws, from the organic law down,
needs thorough, Systematic, intelligent
revision. As the governor saye, the ses-
sions of The Legislature are "Loo short to OIL
L" ginate, mature and perfect legislation"
The beet thing, therefore, that the present
general assembly can do is, TO set tho ma
chinery in motion by and through which
an intelligent revision Of our whole system
of laws can be obtaned-and then adjourn.

A Schaghticoke Farmer Kicked to
Death.

As Cortland Brewster of Brunswick was
driving from Easton about 8 $50 o'clock
Tuesday night he discovered a man lying
in the road at the foot of hill about two
and half miles beyond Harris Falls. He
aroused the inmates of house near by and
upon examining the person found, it was
ascertained to be a farmer named Michael
Baynes, living in the vicinity. His head
was badly injured and he was insenaible.
He was removed to his residence and DIR.
Beal summoned, but the poor man was past
help and died at o'clock a. M, Wednes-
Gay. Mr.. Baynes had been to HaIts Falls
with load of straw and was on his return
when injured. The team was found in his
door yard. Coroner Blackhall was notified
Wednesday, and after visiting the resi-
dence of the deceased, he teegraphed for
DR.. Burton to come and make post
moltem examination. This revealed the
fact that he had been kicked on the head
by one of the horses, breaking the temple
bone and forcing it directly back upon the
brain and fracturing his skull at the base.
One of the boards of the hay rigging had
slipped forward some three feet so az to
strike the horses, when going down the
hill at the bottom Of which Haynes was
found, and the theory is, that in attempt
ing to draw the board back, he was thrown
directly under the hores feet, when he re-
celved the kick that caused his death. The
report in the evening papers that he had
been murdered and robbed is without foun-
dation, as his pocket book and money were
found undistnred

The st. Adams SWindler.

Inquiries made in Boston tend to con-
firm the sucpicions entertained by the peo-
pie of st. Adams, Vt, that the young man
claiming to be A. b. Parker, IT,, of Bos-
ton, and who swindled the landlord of the
Weldon house out of several handred dol
lars by means of checks forged on his pre-
tended father, is not the son of wealthy
cattle drover and ex-alderman living On
Greenwich park. Mr.. A. b. Parker, pro-
vision dealer on Merchants row, has son
who attends SCHOOL, and is not old enough
to make the tour of the Canadian lakes
alone. He cannot recall any one who
would be likely to make use of his name,
unless it is a young man named Sawyer,
who was formerly employed about the mar
ket, and who, having forged the name of
L. NJ. Dyer to note, in which he was de-
tected, left town suddenly and has not been
seen here since. In the absence of de-
tailed description of the ST. Adams oper-
ator, those who are acquainted with Saw
yer cannot speak positively in reference to
his identity. The checks forged by Spar
Kerr and paid by the Faneuil Hall bank
were sent to MIR. A. b. Parker on the first
OF the month, when he Immediately detect
ed the forgery and returned them to the
bank. While he was comparing the forged
paper with genuine checks third check
came In from st. Albans, which was the
one sent back protested. -Boston Journal.
