The Slate Industry.

In this section of the country much
dependence is put upon the slate bust
ness. In this town, Fair Haven and
Casteton, in Granville, n. Y, and
Pawlet, VT, it may be rightfuly claimed
the chief industry next to farming, and
in some of the towns mentioned it may
take first place. From present indica-
tions this industry is not so prosperous
as it was last year. Last December.
what are known as Sea Green quar-
ries" had their product all sold, hardly
carload of one size could be found at
one quarry. Now it is reported that
the slate trust, which embraces about
ninety per cent of all the sea-green
slate, have about "A 900 squares on
hand and have notified the public that
on and after September LIST, the quarries
will be worked but four days in the
week. This will affect only those of
the sea-green line, as the other colors
are limited in their supply. The time
that this cut will continue will depend
upon the demand, which at present
seems much depressed. The reason
given for this is, that the freight rates
are so much higher from the Vermont
quarres to the great West than are OBJ
tanned for the Pennsylvania quarries
Whether there is any more difference
than in the past we are not informed,
but it seems that the railroads inter-
ested in the transportation of this
freight would do nothing to injure
themselves as it must if such is the
case. -POultney Journal.

More Artful DOdging.

While wooden mills are failing and the
trade is catching at straws in various di-
rections, the Vermont Waterman is still
numbling over the figures thrown out over
year ago by the Republican, relating to
the decline of tlocks in certain states under
the high wool tariff. After once admitting
and twice denying its many errors, it is
now in hopeless state of confusion. We
suggest that the Watchmdn next tussle with
this problem Why has the number of sheep
increased in Great Britain under free wool
and on lands of high cost? BY the time
that is solved this country will have free
wool"
Thus does the Springfield Republican
console itself for its discontinue in its
efforts to defend its figures relating to

The woman suffrage agitators
swarmed to the woody West last
month and besieged the constitutional
conventions of the new states, in
the hope of converting the untutored
legislators of the frontier to their cher
ished theories of government. They
failed to secure the incorporation of a
woman suffrage clause in the constitu-
ton of any one of the four new states.
Montana rejected the proposition by a
close vote, Washington and North Da-
kota decided to submit the question to
popular vote in November, 1890. In
South Dakota the issue was left to be
settled by the legislature, but if that
body votes in favor of extending the
suffrage to women the action must be
ratified by popular vote. The west
ern Solons are evidently disinclined to
take the lead in an innovation which
has thus far failed to commend itself to
their brethren in the East.

PENNSYLVANIA claims the distinction
of having been the most profusely irri-
gated state in the Union during the
present season. The state weather
service has calculated that, if gathered
in one place, the rainfall in the state
this year would form lake | 200 miles
square and thirty-fve feet in depth.

THE constitution of the state of Mon
tana provides that the senate shall con-
sist of sixteen members, one from each
county. There are five counties which
at the last election polled "a ISL votes,
while the other eleven polled only
1913 votes. Three-eighths of the
voting population, therefore, are given
more than twice as many senators as
the remaining five-eighths. A senate
thus constituted can hardly be called a
representative body.

The Muster.

Rather more of 1.-the pomp and cir
presented on the picturesque field
chosen for this years meeting at West
Randolph. The troops and the Fuller
battery went into camp on Tuesday.
Routine duty, drill and practice occu-
pied the time through the week till
Friday afternoon. Life in camp was
enlivened on Wednesday by the arrival
of Governor Dillingham;, in whose
honor the camp was named. Colonel
Robert j. Kimbal of New York, who
has his summer residence at West Ran
dolph, was mindful of the social obliga-
tions of the time and gave the governor
reception Wednesday evening. Thurs
day was governors day, and, for the
people at large, the great day of the
muster. Trains heavily laden came
from the north and south, and the
country round about contributed its full
quota of spectators. Some eight thou
oduu pcOplc, IL was cStlindlcu. WcIc
present, compliment both to Governor
Dillingham; and, in a large measure, to
such distinguished personages as Gen
eral Schofeld, the military head of the
army of the United States, and Redfield
Proctor, President Harrison's secretary
of war. In their train were Vermont's
delegation in congress-Senators Nor
rill and Edmunds and Representatives
Stewart and Grout-Lieutenant-g
ernor Woodbury., battalion of the
eX-governors of the state, Generals
Wells and Henry, Colonel A. p. Blunt,
formerly of the Twelfth Vermont, now
of the regular army and stationed at
Boston, with many others distinguished
in the civil or military history of the
state. So great an aggregation of stars,
supplemented by a day of rare bril-
liancy, could hardly fail to attract a
large concourse. The occasion was
further marked by the presence of some
five hundred veterans of the late war
The review, Thursday afternoon, was
an attractive spectacle. Colonel Full
ler's battery of new ried breech load
ing guns, its evolutions and firing, was
great attraction. The pieces are
comely dogs of war;" and when " let
slip" walked laundering echoes among
the environing hills. Six shots min
ute, with a range of several miles
gives one an idea of the destructive
capacity of these engines in the hands
of practiced artillerymen. Governor
day closed with reception to General
Scholield in the evening, at the resi-.
dence of Hon. w. II. Dubois, the state
treasurer.

tanning this regiment and battery. A
feeling exists, and not without cause
that the state has become eXtravagant
has gone into excuses, in its provision
for the militia. The cost has more
than doubled since 1880. A year age
the quartermaster's estimate of the ex
penses of the muster was $40 900. The
estimated cost of the muster just ended
was S12,925. Vermont can not afforc
what her militia has been costing her
The sum is excessive. The excess, il

of industry, would enable him t.
speedily repeople Vermont's quarter o
million of deserted acres.

OAHU STEAM RAILROAD.

Yesterday afternoon Messrs. B.
F. Dillingham; and Tom May drove
out in double team to note the
progress of the grading for the Oahu
Steam Railroad to Pearl River har-
Dor. They were accompanied by
BULLETIN representative who took
few notes. The work of grading
commenced on March 9th, and in
the two weeks, about mile and a
quarter of grading has been COM
pleted, and in the most thorough
manner. The right of way, which
in some instances is through thick
bushes has been cleared for two or
three miles. The gang of men
working nearest to town are remov-
ing huge stones from the right of
way, which are used in other places
for filling in. In all there are four
gangs at work with total of $50
men. Another gang of fifty will be
put on next week. The way the
contractor for grading is working
leaves no doubt that he will have his
contract completed at the time speci-
fed. Mr.. Dillingham; proposes to
have the line running by the 4th of
September.

A DANGEROUS PLAYTHING.

Yesterday noon little Portuguese
girl at tending the Kauluwela school,
had blasting cap given her by a
schooImate who told her that if she
lit it with match and threw it on
the ground it would make a big
noise. The little girl lit the cap,
but instead of throwing it on the
ground, held it in her hand. The
consequence was that it exploded
and blew off the tops of her fingers,
The affair happened in the yard OF
the little girls home, and other chill
dren who were near by were slightly
injured on their faces.

THE PROPOSED ACADEMY.

Last evening meeting in regard
to the proposed Royal Hawaiian
Academy of Music was held at the
Hawaiian Hotel. Those present
we're: His Majesty the King, III. r.
H. Princess Liliuokalani, Hon. j. o.
Dominis, Mrs. j. l. Dowsett, Signor
and Mrs. Campobello, Bandmaster
Berger, Messrs. j. w. Robertson,C.
II. White, E. b. Thomas, and Wray
Taylor. The meeting was organized
by the appointment of Bandmaster
Berger, chairman, and Wray Taylor
as Secretary.
The chairman stated briefly the
object of the meeting.
Slgnor Campobello then read an
interesting paper, outlining the OBJ
jects of the proposed Academy.
The chairman said he was sorry
there was not more present at the
meeting. The amount to carry on
the Academy (S3.00 per month was
not large. He did not know what
to do to get people out. They
should either come to some conclu-
sion or give it up.
The King did not think there was
sufficient material at the meeting to
form an organization. He thought
committees ought to be formed.
The secretary, at the request of
the meeting read the prospectus.
Signor Campobello asked, with the
permission of His Majesty, to with
draw the scheme.
The chairman-So you think you
will give the whole thing up.
Mr.. Robertson moved and MIR.
White seconded that Signor Campo
bells's paper be printed in the local
newspapers, so as to get it before
the public.
Signor Campobello stated that
four gentlemen had contributed SlOC
each, and many others had pro-
missed support.
After further discussion the meet
ing adjourned, subject to call.

Our Jury System.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 19.-Ex-Pres-
ident Hayes delivered the annual address
before the national prison congress in
this city on Saturday. A feature OF his
address was his reference to the inefii-
cient jury system which prevails in most
of the states. He said the lack of pop
ular confidence in the fairness and just
ice of criminal trials begets crime, and
delays criminal proceedings in these days
when wealth has such power, offers
temptation to bribe giving and bribe TAX
ing. He referred to the Cronin case as a
recent and notorious example.
Referring to the jury system, MIR.
Hayes spoke particularly of the techni-
cality that no man can sit on jury who
reads newspapers. Already this has
been expunged in some states and the
rational rule has taken its place. 1t
would be far more reasonable, he said, to
exclude from juries men who do not form
or express opinions from what they read.
Ignorance, and not intelligence, should be
shut out from the jury box. Another ex-
ample of the unreasonableness in our
Jury system is the unanimous" jury. Ii
fiye-sixths or three-fourths of jury agee
on verdict Of guilty, and if the presiding
Judge approves the verdict, why shall 1t
not stand? Under our Republican sys-
tenn thegravest questions are decided fin
ally by majority vote of the citizens,
and these reforms depend on the popular
judgment and popular will.
