which 10 divided equally among the districts
and the other half according to aggregate
attendance. The rule for distribution is
the same as before, for these 157 towns;
only the amount of public money is in
creased one-haf. The second class OF towns
are those whose grandlist is over $4,000
and less than $4,000 and embraces
fifty-sx towns. The public money ranges
from 81 200 to $1,000, and of this por-
ton ranging from $500 to $500 is dis
trbuted in equal shares to the districts;
the remainder according to attendance.
The Mird class of towns are those whose
list is over $4,000 and less than $4,000,
and whose public money ranges from $40
to $4,000. There are eleven towns in this
class. That portion of the public money
distributed in equal shares varies from $500
to 5000, the remainder is apportioned ac-
cording to attendance. The fourth class OF
towns, of which there are sixteen embraces
those whose grand list exceeds $4,000 and
whose public money exceeds $1,000. Of this
sum $500 in each case is distributed in equal
shares and the remainder according to
attendance. On the present rule sum
varying from 81 200 to $4,000 would be dis
tributed in these towns in equal shares. CIV

is equitable and often far beyond its needs.

Resolutions of the Montpelier WOman's
Christian Temperance Union.

Whereas, at the last convention the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union did
reafirm its loyalty to the prohibition party,
which action we regard as but an open door
to political strife, inasmuch as its members
are of all political parties; and, whereas,
we deplore any act by which we as a Union
of Christian workers should become bound
by policy which may bring discord into
our otherwise harmonious ranks, and thus
deprive us of the sympathy and cordial sup
port of all good men from every church and
party; and whereas, while we do not con-
denim the opinions of any who favor
woman's suffrage, nor the honest efforts of
those who cast their votes with the third
party, we do claim for ourselves freedom of
thought and purpose, with a right to our
opinions and modes of action, refusing to
be coerced into an allegiance with any po-
litical party under the guse of temperance;
Therefore, Resolued, That we stand as in
the beginning non-sectarian in religion and
non-partisan in politics, desiring to labor
with earnest hearts and willing hands in
our different departments of work, seeking
the education of children the higher physi-
cal and mental culture of woman, and the
enlightenment of public opinion, that we
may secure the enforcement of the grand
prohibitory laws of our state.
ReSOiUed, That as local organization we
feel ourselves impelled to an Independent
course of action, but to continue allegiance
to the principles first devised and espoused
by the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
Resolved, That as the result of most care
full and panstaking deliberation, we find
ourselves unable to make any concession to
the partisan resolutions adopted at the last
convention, whereby others with ourselves
may be diverted from the old paths into
those untried and new, leading we know
not whittier.

The Jury System.

EditOr Of WdtchmdR Il notice that you
always uplift your voice in favor of econ
omy in legislation. The object is a worthy
one. In particular instances | don't always
agree with you. Sometimes | have thought
your utterances were justly within the
proverb, Penny wise and pound foolish"
But there is one subject, never before agi-
tated in this state, by which, if a reform
were effected a very great expense could
be saved to the state. The jury SYSTEM
of what use is it nowadays? 1t is one of
those ancient institutions, idolized by all
English-speaking people, the usefulness of
which has passed away. In its inception
it was devised to stand between the crown
and the subject, and it served at that time
a useful purpose. Although England may
well be proud OF her courts in all ages, even
in those half barbarous, yet it was true that
in early times her judges were liable to be
Influenced by the crown when questions
arose in civil or criminal cases in which the
government was interested. The jury then
was protection to the subject. Now all
is changed. Even in England the cause no
longer exists and in this country it never
existed. In early times in England the
jury was ordered to be drawn from the
"vicinage," for the avowed reason that
the jury might know something about
the case on trial, and give their verdict, not,
as now, upon evidence "given in court"
but on their supposed knowledge of the case
obtained out of court as neighbors. This
was, no doubt, protection to the subject,
when witnesses, under the influences of the
crown, gave evidence not contradicted in
court, but which jurors of their own knowl-
edge knew as neighbors to be untrust-
worthy. Those days have happily passed
away even in England. What good pur-
pose do juries now subserve2 ! know of
none. 1t has been my business for thirty
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-10-31

years and more to sit in court and listen TO
the trial of cases by the court and by jury.
Juries usually decide rightly, at least in the
county where reside, and presumably in
all Others but the court would have decided
in the same way; and in the small percent
age of cases wherein the jury, through misap-
pretending the evidence, or possibly by
being influenced unduly by the advocates
eloquence, have failed to render the verdict
which the law and evidence called for, the
court would have done justice between the
parties. 1t is true, as the law now stands,
parties may put the issue to the court, but |
have noticed that the party who has msgiv-
ings about his case will never consent to do
do so. lie would rather try his chances
OF misleading a jury than submit him
self to the Judgment OF a court fitted by
every experience and judicial training to
weigh testimony and give to each witness
and piece of testimony of every kind its due
and just consideration. The first step must
be an amendment of the constitution giving
power on this subject to the Legislature.
Now here is chance for reformer and
economist to distinguish himself, not by a
picayune pairing down of the fees and
salaries of Woodworking and poory-paid
officers, useful and beneficial of itself and
saving to the state large and useless out.
lay. ] have now made careful eXamina-
ton, for statistics are tasteless to me, but |
hazard nothing i'm expressing my belief
that fully one-half of the expense of sup
porting the judicial department of the
government is the jury fees. And they
can't be diminished without gross injustice.
No juror, after paying his board and ex-
penses at court and paying the help he was
obliged to hire to do his work at home, ever
had dollar of his fees left Much more
might he said in favor of the proposition
herein suggested and something no doubt
against it. / leave it here, not intending to

Increase of Salaries---Militia
Matters.

Editor Of Waterman - You take right
grounds, as it seems TO me, in the matter of
unnecessary state expenses. We all favor
liberal support of the militia, but the sys-
TEN is already heady" enough, If it has
taken an increase of over $4,000 in expen-
dtures in 1887 and 'SS over that of 1879 and
80. If state expenses for military matters
are to pile up in this way in ordinary times,
when there is not even a "Vershre cam
pagn to call the sword from its idle scab-
bard, what can the average taxpayer expect
when we are called upon to revise and revo-
lutionize the entire militia system at a
probable cost of many thousand dollars in
addition? One would suppose we were in
daily peril of foreign invasion And speak
ing of invasion leads to the remark that the
old soldiers can doubtless get along without
too much of Ely-Goddard style. New
York " is all right" but it seems that YER
mont has got soldier citizens enough to
maintain the dignity of the state as COVER
nors aids. AS to the increase of salaries,
| do not understand that General Gilmore
asks an increase, but he would probably
accept it if forced upon him. In addition to
four years have been over 5000 In addition
to General Peck's salary of $3.50 per year,
his average expenses for the last four years
have been over S400 Now General Peck
and General Gilmore are both fine men,
fully capable of doing the work. But there
are plenty of men, just as capable, who
would perhaps do that work for the present
salary. There is Colonel Mansur and Colo
mel Lucia, both OF them one-armed soldiers.
III invited they might consent to serve the
state. Neither General Peck nor General
Gilmore give their entire time to this bust
ness. The bulk Of the work is done in the
office and at home and takes no outlay but
time. 1t is no time to call for such an in
crease 1t ought not to be granted.

Our Highways and By.Ways.

Editor of Waterman AS all well know,
our own roads are in very bad condition.
There is money enough spent upon them to
make them good, if it was properly used;
but where doctors disagree who shall de-
cide?" Inasmuch as all object to prison la
Dor coming in competition with other labor,
cannot our shrewd Legislators and lawyers
devise some plan whereby prison labor can
be used on the roads either by putting them
upon the quarries to break stone for the
roads, or breaking stone in the prisons and
then have it drawn to the roads? All will
admit that if we had six or eight inches Of
crushed stone on our roads, we should not
have so much complaint. We ought to
have at least one road running the length
of the state, and one from one town to
another In my opinion, prison labor could
not be better utilized than in building good
roads. Will not our lawmakers look this
matter up and see if something cannot be
done, and thus merit the blessing of all
horse-owners? II. g. WEBSTER.

The Cheap Worth of the High Priced
Wheeling Team-OtIler Ball News
What little confidence was left in the
Wheeling ball team is being rapidly dis
PEELED by the work OF the team on its
third trip. They lost another game
Saturday, Toledo defeating them by a
score Of TO 9. Flanagan's poor work
had much to do with the defeat; he
gave five men their bases on balls and
made, in addition, two rank fielding err
rors. The other contributing cause OF
defeat was the inability Of the Wheeling
players to bat at opportune times.
There is no longer any doubt
that there is something radically wrong
with the team when it is away from
home. Compared with the work they
do at home, that done away from home
is simply abominable, and it is growing
worse all the time. The men have been
encouraged in every possible way, both
by the management and the people TO
do good work, but they evidently find it
more profitable to play the management
and their patrons for "chumps." Just
IlOH lOuS LuG1 ShAl SOublAuC W W. thI9
rests with the management, which has
dealt very leniently with them. While
at home they are known to violate with
impunity the rule relative to going into
saloons, but sufficiently close watch is
kept over them SO that they show up on
the field all right and play good enough
ball. Away from home they do not ap-
pear on the field all right, judging from
the error column.
The game Saturday was played before
about $50 people. The game was lost in
the third inning on two bases on balls,
a passed ball, two hits and Flanagan's
wild throw to third. After that Flana-
gan pitched fair game. GAINESVILLE won
from Kalamazoo Saturday and thereby
evened up with Wheeling for second
place, with a percentage OF .6lS-each
IS games won and "a lost. Lima's per-
centage is .8Sl-62 games won, 90 lost.
To-day Wheeling plays at Jackson. An
other defeat is probable.
The score OF Saturdays game was as
follows;
