Referring to the subis of the Kindergarten
system of education for young children, the
Boston Pilot says:
) 1t is precisely in this system of teaching that
tCatholic Sisters can excel, for they have all
athe advantages. The kindergarten is, by all
odds, the best system for an infant or primary
school. 1t develops the ohild's mind in prac
tical knowledge, which is easier learned than
literary, or "book knowledge" and is never
forgotten. Any one who examines the system
will perceive its superiority. The seolnsion of
the Kindergarten science: it is blessing for
both teacher and pupil. The Catholic schools
that adopt this system will lead all other
schools. or this we are convinced. We feel
We may take the liberty of saying that Miss
Peabody, of Cambridge, Mass, would give in
formation on this system, which she has done
go much to establish in America. The best

The GREAT WALK.-Mr. Henry schmehl, the
celebrated pedestrian, who commenced his
great walk of 500 miles in l43 hours last Mon.
day evening at O'Clock, in Sc. Patriok's Hall
had completed 400 at 1890 O'Clock Saturday
morning. He had thirty-four hours in which
to walk the remaining hundred miles, his
time expiring at eight O'Clock Sunday evening.
The excitement has gradually been increasing
since he commenced his arduous task, and will
be at fever heat Sunday evening, when the
Hall will no doubt be crowded. A gratifying
feature to Mr.. sohmehl has been the large

The Constitutional Amendments.

s This performance of the Legislature re-
the mountain in labor which brought forth
mouse. Our Solons have played the
barber instead of the Hercules. lnstI
of Staying the lion they have merely pared
his nails. The monster which has within
a few years deyoured the substance of this
people to the extent of fifty millions in
value, gets off with an odd clipping here
i and there from some official salary. The
vast field of stealage and extortion is left
untouched, while hard working officers
without an opportunity for plunder have
been made to bear the brunt of the econo-
mic storm. The abolition of Parish Courts
sand the biennial feature of Legislative
sessions are certainly good moves and
deserve creditable mention apart from
that there is nothing noticeable. The
Governors salary and two or three othera
sare slightly curtaied, not enough to coun-
aterbalance the plunder of fourth class
tax-collectorship, and feint is made at the
district Judges Legislature may reduceI
their pay and may not.
On the other hand, what has not BEEN
ldone3
The amendments do not touch, even by
implication, the one great, all-ebsorbing,
overshadowing evil of the sge, the curse
of this generation, the nightmare which,
frightens away all prosperity and stagnatesI
the life blood of enterprise. We mean

Taxation.

s In report from the Senate judiciary
HCommittee, upon reference to it of a Sun
Aday labor bill and petition, we find the
following language: "We believe that one
Iof the inalienable rights of man is the God
given right to labor"
This is excellent theoretically why not
i make it practical We admire the whole
report from which we Gull the foregoing sen.
timent. Itdisposes efectually of the over
godly zeal of certain Christians who would
punish Jews and Gentiles for not keeping
Sunday holy. These are certainly not
! bound in conscience to do 80, and why
force them to it by highly penal etatutes
when they are invited to this country
with the assurance of perfect religious
Afreedom7
And we especially admire the fine and
very just sentiment above quoted as to the
a'God-given" right to labor. It is based
lon the right to lire viewed in connection
with the law which says SIN the sweat of
thy brow thou shalt eat bread" Eating is
necessary to life, and by the law of our
present state labor is prerequisite to eat
ling. Therefore if man has q right to
live, he hasa right to labor, as the neces-
|sary condition of living.
Then comes the graver question Can|
labor be justly taxed 2 1t appears to usI
that whatever is necessary to life ought to|
be free from taxation. The air that vel
breathe is necessary to life-would it bel
right to tax the use of air 2 or water 7 al
qulbbler would answer: Yes, if the water
is brought in an adequate, or the air isI
artiHcially heated. But we speak of the
air and water as God gives them-the air
as it blows and the water as it falls from
the clouds. We speak of them not where.
in they are subject to the dominion of
special proprietorship, but wherein they
are free from such dominion and subject to
universal use. And we class the abstract
right to labor in the same rank. That is,
no man can properly be made to-Pay fez
the right to labor, though he may be made
to pay for using another's land on which toF
exert his labor.
But we firi this principle totally ig-
nored in the legislation of Louisiana
Every profession, trade, occupation and
business, is ruthlessly taxed. The mer-
chant, the doctor, the lawyer, the broker,
the manufacturer, even the carpenter, the
painter, the blacksmith, the shoemaker, is
prohibited from laboring for his bread IN
less he shall fret pay license to do 80
Some of these are prohibited directly and
by title others indirectly only, as where
their employers are obliged to pay the tax
before carrying on the work.
What would be thought of law which
should provide: You shall not breathe
until you have paid your license for breath
ing. Every one would say at once: So
ciety has no such power. The right to
breath is inalienable. And whyf Be
cause it is necessary to life. What, then,
Of a law which says: You shall not labor
for bread until you have paid money to the
government for a license to do so9 The
answer ought to be the same. Society has
no such power. The right to labor is
necessary to life. 1t is inalienable. 1t is
God given"

Important Hearing.

The chauceTy suits of Joseph J. Bicknell and
Thomas Pollard against the Vermont Copper Min
ing Company and others, are now on trial before
Chancellor Powers, at the Pavilion, and the hear
ing will last several days. The orators claim IN
own valuable mining lands adjoining those owned
and worked by the Vermont Copper Mining Com
pany in vefshre In Orange county and that the
Vermont Copper Mining Company has worked
over the line and removed from their property a
great many Thousand tons OF copper ore, valued
at more than 1925 O0O
Soon after their suits were commenced-for
there are two original suits with cross bills in
each-the orators got an order from the chancel-
lor allowing a survey Of the Vermont Copper Min
ing Compenys works, in order to ascertain
whether the excavation extended beyond the line
between the properties. The survey disclosed
the fact that the works did extend beyond the
line claimed by the orators, but the defendants do
not admit that to be the true line.
The line claimed by the orators is a certain
"brush fence" line, while the defendants rely
upon n line which they say was run at the time
of the original survey Of the town, and which is
the true line of the lots. To settle this question
of the lines has taken great deal OF testimony,
covering nearly one thousand printed pages
1t is still further claimed by the defendants
that the orators have no title to tho minerals
on the land they claim to own, but that their
grantors, more than forty years ago, parted with
the title, and that the orators hold title to the
face only. Upon these points there is additional
testimony and numerous and volunnous exhib-
its, town records, plans and original surveys.
Many of the law questions raised in the cases are
very interesting and important We have no
time to state them now.
Hon. J. W. Rowell, S NJ. Gleason, Esq, and
Governor Peck are counsel for the orators, and
Hon Roswell Farnham and c. w. Clarke, Esq +,
for the defendants.

Of DIR. II. NJ. Field, of Newton, Mass, Pro-
lessor Of Therapeutics in Dartmouth Medical
College on Quinia designed to enbody
and illustrate the more lately acquired knowl-
edge OF the profession respecting this powerful
remedy. The D1 tor believes that it expends its
chief action upon the sympathetic nervous sys-
tenn, and only subordnaely affects the brain
and spinal cord. Upon the heart its influence is
that of a direct, sustained and powerful tonic,
like that OF Dgitalis and not that of adepressant
as so many authors have taught, and as medical
opinion so generally holds 1t diminishes the
amount of blood sent into the brain, and does
not increase 1t, as Hammond, Fothergill and
Others have taught These important positions were
variousy illustrated aud their practical results
forced. The paper closed with a consideration OF
the Bromide OF Quinia, and particularly as re-
spects its hypodermic use This subject, which
is one of great value and many practical issues
has been developed by the French in various

Dairymen's Association.

Messrs. Editors:-I have noticed in your paper
a card from the Secretary of the Association,
changing the place Of its business meeting from
this pace to Milton, while Mr.. Morrilrs address
is 10 remain as at first advertised In absence of
any other reason, this action seems to me a bare
faced attempt on the part OF whoever Is respon-
sible for 1t, to prevent a full attendance OF the
members at this meeting and the more so as the
Secretary's card makes no mention OF free return
checks for those attending the meeting, from
which we must infer that he has not secured
them thus In addition to the taking OF that part
OF the meeting from this central location, those
attending are to be deprived OF the benefit OF fire
one way, which they would have received had it
been held at Montpelier, as the railroad extends
that courtesy To all who visit here during the
session. So the reasons which make 1t desirable
to remove the meeting for the election OF officers
to Milton do not extend to the hearing of Mr..
Morrls address. There can be no graver crime
toward a republic Of government or association
than to seek to deprive it Of a free and full ex-
preston of its choice In the election OF its officers
and such an attempt when made should be met
in way which would be likely to prevent its
repetition. DAiRYMAN
