DIR. U-ta-wa.un-.-His Defense.

Editor Vermont Wdtchmdn:-Your Barre
correspondent of June 80, in speaking of
the Indian doctor, says he struck his wife
in the face and knocked her down with a
grip containing steel forceps. That is a lie ;
and it was not claimed in her evidence
that she was hit in the face or knocked
down. Her evidence was: " He was trying
to run away from me, and ran and caught
him. He tried to get away from me, and in
the struggle he hit me on the ear with the
satchel | let go of him and he walked
away" The correspondent says /" bail was
fixed at S1O0 Not being able to find bail,
the officer too him to Montpelier" Now
sir, he did not attempt to find bail; for if he
had wanted bail he would only have had to
put his hand in his pocket and take it out
Had the people known the truth, am salts
fed, they would have said nothing. To be
slandered and not reply would be more
than free-born and heightened American
could stand at this time OF the moon. This
much-abnsed wife Of the Indian doctor was
wholly the cause of all her trouble. She has
a temper, combined with jealousy, that
is uncomfortable. Her three-months-old
baby cried, and she flew into one of her fits
of rage and held it to her breast to stop it
from crying until it was smothered. | have
lived for days with her at time when she
would not speak to me nor eat with me
She drove me out of her room while in
Barre with revolver. 1t was time we
separated, before any blood was spilled. She
has left the state. l am now pursuing
my business without fear. In short
U-ta-wa-un is himself again. Thank heaven
for the deliverance. DIR. U-TA-wA-UN.

Cause of Our Railway Problem.

When legislative inducements were
made to investors for the construction
of new railroads capitalists were pleased
to be relieved of ordinary prudence in
making their investments, and upon
the strength of such legislation con-
tinued to build railroads in excess of
commercial wants, expecting to so adj
just the traffic rates as to insure to them
good profits; but this was never the
purpose of the shippers or of the legis-
lators who represented them, for, by
the construction of numerous lines,
they expected to arouse a spirit of
competition among the railroads which
would lead to cut rates and reduced
cost of service. Thus the original laws
which stimulated the organization and
construction of railroads polarized the
interests of the investors and the ship
pers, and made mutually repellent
forces which should have mutually at
tracted. Each was deluded by false
hopes, for neither considered the rights
or interests of the other, and all subse-
quent legislation which has aimed to
preserve the benefits of unwise and
premature railroad construction to the
public has shifted all the evils and con-
sequent losses upon the railroad COM
panies, while the efforts of railway
companies to avoid all competition by
division of revenues would throw the
entire burden of supporting useless
roads upon the public; and it is this
unbalanced condition of affairs which
has led to aggressions upon the part of
railroads, adverse verdicts by juries
and hostile legislation by the states,
all of which are in the nature of reac-
tions due to the disturbance caused by
the original laws.-Benjamin Reece, in
Popular Science MOnthly.

Why the Commission was
Handicapped.

Editor Vermont Watchmon In recent
comment of yours on the work OF the com
missioner of statistics created by the last
legislature, you say that the legislature
handicapped the commission in reducing
the number to one instead OF three or more,
as the original bill contemplated. Friends
Of agriculture in the legislature advocated
the reduction of the number of the com
missoners on the ground Of lessening ex-
pense In what was and is, an experiment
The greatest kindness the legislature Of
1888 could have done the state and the
cause OF agriculture would have been to
lessen the rate of taxation rather than in
crease 1t. Appropriations were made, SEEM
ingly, without thought of the burdens to be
borne by the people. These commissioners
of statistics would have drawn their salaries
and been paid expenses the same as one,
and 1t is assuming good deal to say that
the printed questions of these men would
have found more ready responses than
were given to those of one. In view of our
corporation tax and the income derived
from 1t, the present state tax of twenty per
cent Is an unnecessary imposition upon the
taxpayers. 1t is the outcome of the lavish
ideas of the day. The stagnation of Yer
mont's agricultural industries is due to
causes that " statistical information " will
not reach. We are in competition with
the inexhaustibe West. This is the whole
of it. Our lands can be bought as cheap, or
cheaper, IMAM improved western farms; hut
here there is no prospect of an advance in
price. In the West land tends upward in
value; here the tendency is downward.
Our population is decreasing. The young
men are leaving us for the greater POSSIBLE
tiles of newer sections. Oklahoma the
Cherokee and Sioux reservations about to
be opened to settlement, present millions of
acres of virgin soil, sure to rise in value, be-
cause the population is increasing. These
are the things that depopulate our hill
farms and our valley farms, too, for that
matter. All the statistical information -
this side of Mason and Dxon's line will not
change the inevitable workings of this law
of gravitation. The tide of American prog
ress is simply seeking its natural level
when IL flows over the great praires of the
West To combat this, Vermont farmers OF
to-day must inaugurate the economies that
characterize the new settler of Oklahoma
This done and Vermont farming will pay
despite the croakers and fault-fnders. We
pay out too much to correspond with ouI
incomes. | offer this as a suggestion, rather
than criticism on your editorial, for the
editor of the WATCHMAN is recognized as &
firm friend of Vermont farmers. FARMER

IN our remarks, last week, upon the
meeting of the supervisors we very in
advertently omitted to mention the fact
that Mr.. A, w. Edison, formerly prin-
cipal of the Randolph Normal School
and an efficient educational worker in
this state, was present, by invitation of
Superintendent Palmer, and gave the
supervisors many valuable hints and
suggestions respecting their work. Mr..
Edison is now a state inspector of
schools for Massachusetts, with head
quarters at Worcester. His experience
since he left Vermont has amply quail
fed him to render valuable assistance
to his former co-workers here. He
cheerfully responds to their call, and
will doubtless be heard in the future at
educational meetings in the state. Mr..
Edison has not outgrown his interest in
Vermont's schools.

and notices many things which he re-
veals to his readers for their edifica-
ton, amusement or correction. Here is
something he has to say about the over
head check-rein for horses The
other night the Listener had call from
friend who drove his own horse to
the door, and remained seated in his
buggy while engaged in conversation.
The Listener noticed that the horse
from time to time tossed his head in the
air, throwing his nose upward as he
did so. 1t was possibly, the Listener
thought at first, a mere movement of
Impotence on the part of spirited
horse, but presently, as the gentleman
drove on, he noticed that the horse re-
peated the movement, with sort of
desperation, after he had started into
trot. 1t was simply case of the cruel
overhead check-rein. The unfortunate
animal, wearied almost beyond endur-
ance by the ceaseless strain on his neck,
continually threw his head upward in
vain attempt to ease the pressure. The
gentleman who drove and owned this
horse is by no means hard-hearted
man. He is, on the contrary, well
known among his friends to have to his
credit many quiet acts of benevolence
and genuine humanity. Since the mer-
ciful man is merciful to his beast, how
can humane man torture horse that
he is proud of and very likely fond of?
Probably from sheer inattention to the
matter. When friend of the Listen
er's ventured to loosen the overhead
check-rein of horse on the street, the
other day, the animal stretched out its
neck with groan of relief and touched
his benefactor's face with his nose, as if
to express his gratitude. The owner of
the animal witnessed the movement,
and, instead of finding fault, he ac-
knowledged that it had never occurred
to him that the overhead check-rein
was painful to a horse. But the
Listener advises any one who thinks it
is not painful to tip his own head as far
back as he can, carry it there for the
space of fifteen minutes, and then see
how he feels. How it actually does
affect horse has been shown by the
verdict of the English veterinary sur
geons who looked into the matter.
About five hundred of these experts in
Great Britain have signed paper con-
demning the check-rein as painful to
horses and productive of disease among
them, and it has now been abolished
by law. The overhead check, besides
being cruel in the extreme, causes dis
tortion of the windpipe to such a de-
gree as to impede the respiration for.
ever afterward, and brings about vari
Gus other diseases which shorten the
life of the horse, such as excoriation o.

cruelty with obedience, gentleness ant

horses always try to do what is right
but how can we wonder that, with on,

WHAT our esteemed correspond
ent, Farmer" has to say about the
" economy" of the legislature in
amending the bill creating an industrial
commission may be true, but it does
not matter. The commission was ham,
strung by the amendment. The work
intended for the commission was not
simply to collect statistics. Its duties,
in the nature of the case, could not be
strictly defined. Its powers must be
somewhat elastic. Its function was TO
find out what is the matter with Yer
mont farming-what causes have con-
tributed to depress the price of farm
lands and farm products-and, having
made diagnosis of the patients case,
to prescribe for her. Ways and means
of meeting competition from the West,
or any other quarter, the expediency of
inviting immigration, of advertising
the advantages of the state, how to do
the things it might be considered best
to do, to do them and report results
these things were within the scope of
the commissions proposed power, and
three commissioners of varying abilities
and experience could attend to them
vastly better than one. 1t was the part
of good legislation to show these
facts to the benefciaries of the pro-
posed measure. 1t is noticeable that
the bill as it passed the house, a body
made up chiefly of farmers, provided
for three commissioners, but that the
amendment, cutting the number down
to one, was made in the senate, body
containing four farmers, actual and al
legged. An economical grippe always
seizes the Legislature when the plain
farmer, the interests of the great body
of farmers, come to be considered. The
taxes are piled on for the benefit of
everything but the productive indus.
tries, those which must be depended
on to pay the taxes. When it comes
to appropriating money to be expended
on measures to develop the resources
of the state and increase its revenues
parsimony is practiced where liberia
expenditure, judiciously made, woult
be real economy. In the former, not il
the latter spirit, we apprehend, the
change in the house bill was made, ant
in the pressure of the last days of thu
session there was neither time nor fore
thought to set the matter right.

THE Connecticut legislature rushed
through and sent to the governor, last
week, another ballot reform measure.
The bill, which is an improvement on
the present free and easy practice, pro-
vides for a secret ballot and the use of
sealed envelope. The state furnishes
blanks at cost to the two parties. Each
party prints its own ticket in type
named by the secretary of state.
Booths are provided by the town select
men, and each voter is allowed to re-
main alone for three minutes in which
to place his ballot in an envelope fur
nished by the state. He then passes
unattended to the ballot-box and votes
in the presence of the inspectors of
election only. No ticket-peddlers or
runners are allowed within one hun
dred feet of the polls. Each envelope

with which New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island have, within few weeks, sue
cessively rejected this method of con-
trolling the liquor traffic is matter for
very grave consideration by the friends
of temperance. 1t can not be regarded
as evidence of diminutioD of hostility
to the saloon and of every other agency
of intemperance. There is no lower
ing of the temperance sentiment. The
majorities against constitutional pro-
hibition are sweled by the names of
men of all ranks and professions who
are distinguished for their intelligence,
for their unhnching opposition to all
forms of evil, and particularly for their
advocacy and practice of temperance.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago so re-
markable series of decisive MAORI
ties would have been impossible. The
defeat of prohibition in so many states,
representing different sections of the
country, after long period of trial, is
evidence rather of growing convic-
ton that it is not in a reasonable meas
ure supplying for all localities the
means for an efficient control of the
liuuor traffic. 1t is undoubtedly true
that high license and local option pre-
sent combination that is for the time
being, at least, more popular, since it
permits prohibition in localities where
that system of control has public senti-
ment in its favor and at the same time
permits the cities and the rural centers
of business and population TO adopt re-
strictive measures that have worked, so
far as tried, more successfully than
ra-prohibitory statutes. Such seems
to be the first fruits of the iron-clad re-
strictive legislation that is now on trial
and has been preferred to unqualified
prohibition. If it shall stand the test
of time and shall appear to be, as its
advocates claim that it is, step in the
march toward ultimate, practical pro.
hibition, good temperance people can
not afford to stand apart and quarre
over the name that shall be given to
effective methods for controlling anC
finally suppressing the liquor curse
Meantime the friends of temperance
must not put their trust solely in rock
ribbed statutes. AT the Preside, on the
platform, in the pulpit, in the press, thu
practical lessons of purity and temper
ance in all things must be taught anC
enforced. These be chiefest. Tn,
law is but supplementary. Yet certain
ardent reformers seem to put law frs
and moral suasion last.
