Politics and the Judgeship.

The allegation has appeared in this and
some other newspapers in the state that
Judge Powers is engaged in a canvass for
the nomination in the first congressional
district. The improperly of entering a po-
litical contest while holding the high posi-
ton Of judge in the supreme judicial tri-
bunal of the state has been criticised on the
assumption that what has been alleged is
true. If the facts sustained the statements
which have been made, no one could deny
that censure had been justly bestowed. We
have, however, reason for belief amounting
to conviction that Judge Powers is not ac-
lively or covertly, by any direct or indirect
means, engaged in the political contest in
the first district. His position with refer
ence TO that contest, we are not allowed TO
doubt, is as blameless and az honorable as
that of Judge Peck to the governorship in
1874. Judge Powers has great natural abil-
tiles, united with vigor and courage. 1t is
conceded on ali sides that he possesses in
herent fitness for the office of representative
in congress. 1t is not surprising that his
marked qualifications should attract atten-
ton or that his name should be conspicu-
ously mentioned in the canvass in the con
gressional district in which Lamolle county
is now situated, but because his name has
been so mentioned is neither oifense against
the dignity and purity Of the judgeship nor
reason why he should incontinently resign
his place on the bench. Whenever his per-
sonal relations to this or any other political
canvass become in the slightest degree in.

The Fish LAWS.

The elaborate legislation which the state
has devised for the protection of fish in the
lakes and large streams is noneffective be-
cause the legislature seems to have lacked
the courage, foresight or disposition to make
the laws effective by attaching to their viola
ton the only reasonable and sensible pen
atty, arrest, prosecution and punishment as
for theft. By means of seines, fyke nets,
and the various contrivances employed by
the mercenary fisherman for capturing fish
by shoals, pike and other varieties have been
taken from the mouth of the Missisquoi at
the rate of from thirty to forty barrels a
day. At this season these fish ascend the
river to their spawning ground and are an
easy prey to piratical assailants. These fish
were deposited in those waters by the fish
commissioners at the expense of the state.
1t is permitted to take them at the proper
time in proper way, such as will not defeat
the design to stock the waters OF the state
with foolish, but TO take them in this
murderous manner and at their spawning
season is an outrageous offence against nature
as well as the laws. For this unnatural pro-
cedure the laws demand fine of so for
each fish so caught or in the possession of a
person and the delivery of the nets to the
town treasurer living nearest the locality
where they were taken. As the fisherman
are usually impecunious individuals, the
penalty can rarely be enforced and the law
is practically of no avail against evil doors
There are varying penalties for specific VIC
lations. but they differ from the above in de-
gree rather than in kind. In other parts OF
the lake, and doubtless in other localities in
the state, similar depredations are being
committed. Fish are being taken out Of
the public waters more rapidly than the
commissioners can put them in. The fish
laws will require the addition of a penalty
sufficiently deterrent in its character to Sc
cure their reasonable observance and the
next legislature should be called upon tc
make the requisite amendment.

Railroad Appraisal.


Much scandal was caused year ago by
the ridiculously low figures at which the
listers appraised the road-bed, trestles and
bridges of the railways. Information CIV
ing the basis on which their appraisal was
made was not before the public, but the
conviction was general that the listers had
not done their duty that while the property
of farmers and other real estate owners had
been placed in the list as the law requires,
at its value in money, regardless of encum-
brances, the railways had been appraised
at merely nominal sum, grossly dispropor-
tionate to their value as investment as
Judged by their net earnings. This year
the public is not left in doubt in regard to
the basis of the appraisal. A minority re-
port by Mr.. Dwinell of Calais, member OF
the board, gives the people the information
from which an intelligent judgment can be
formed. A majority report is made by
Messrs. Gleason of Thetford and Colburn
of Manchester. The first column in the
following table shows the appraisal by the
minority, the second by the majority report

Unhappy ireland.

"There seems to be an unhappy destiny
presiding over Ireland which always comes
at the moment when there seems to be some
chance for the country to destroy the hopes
of her best friends So spoke Parnell when
news of the terrible crime in Dublin, Satur-
day evening, filled all England with horror.
Cancellation in Ireland by coercion had
failed, as American friends of Gladstone
and sympathizers with Ireland had predicted
it would fail. What the rack-rented Irish
needed was not castigation for discomfort
and deeds of discomfort provoked by the OPP
pressions of pernicious system Of landlord
ism. Still Gladstone deemed that the coer-
cion act should precede remedial legislation.
Coercion eliminated last summer in the ar
rest and Imprisonment of Psrnell, the arch
leader of the land agitation, and Kilmainhsm
prison was filled with Irishmen on whom the
suspicion even Of resistance to the land laws
had fallen. Before the house of commons
Gladstone had recently confessed in manly
speech that the policy of coercion had failed,
and announced policy of Cancellation. In
pursuance Of this policy Parnell and his fell

A snm. civ per cont interest upon which VIII
be equivalent to the net earnings of a
road, is the basis of Mr.. Dwinell's appraisal.
From this sum he deducts one-half for
equipment, and thus arrives at the valuation
of the road-bed, with its trestles aud bridges.
This basis is certainly an equitable one,
and the people of the state are under obi
cation TO Mr.. Dwinell for the fearless and
faithful discharge Of his duty. So far as
the people are informed, the appraisal OF
the majority is made on no fixed basis. Here
is subject for investigation and field for
tax reformatory work.

compatible with the sanctity Of the office OF
Judge, we believe that he can be relied upon
promptly and honorably to resign. He has
filled many public Offices not only with sig
nal ability but without reproach, and in no
position has he been so clear as in the high
office of Judge. Neither hasty criticism nor
political partisanship should be suffered to
cloud his name with unmerited imputations.

BRADFoRD.-Mrs. NJ. G. c. Leavitt OF Boston
addressed the reform club In Village hall last Fri
day evening. The men of this community are
such models OF purity and sobriety that they have
no need OF reformation; moreover, their business
affairs are 40 urgent and their good works 80
abundant, that they have not time for helping on
the temperance cause; consequently but few Of
them were out TO hear Mrs. Leavitt's address A
goodly number OF women were present and were
fully repaid for the time spent and dimes expended
by listening to practical, sensible and stirring
presentation Of the evils of intemperance and OF
the safeguards against its inroads. The second
number of Rev. Allen Clarks church paper,
Household Of Faith, is winning commentator on
every hand. The conference at Ludlow reap
pointed the pastor Of last year to the Methodist
ciety in this place-an act which the people seem
to have appreciated for upon his return from the
seat of conference they went in large numbers at
night and took the parsonage by storm The
house was filled, the pastor astonished, warm
welcomes spoken, heartfelt response made, and
when the company had dispersed it was discov-
cred that each pound in the pantry had in some
way gained ten pounds. The schOolhouse agi-
tation wanes. A meeting of the union district
Tuesday evening refused to adopt the report OF
the committee previously appointed to locate the
