CURRENT OPINION.
A FISII-BLIND EDITOR.

Nearly one-tenth of all the acts passed
by the last legislature relate to fish, and
we do not believe there are fish enough in
the State, if they were sold for a dollar II
pound, to pay one-half the cost of manu-
featuring the laws to protect them. We
never saw but few fish in the State

POLITICS AND ROAD-MAKING.
Too many political considerations enter
into the election of officers to look after
road building in Vermont, and there is
TOO little work and too much loatinG when
the roads are being built. Another trouble
is that the average man does not seem to
understand the importance of thorough
drainage, which would in every case do
away with the ntolerable nuisance of
mirey roads, Montpelier Argus.
A POOR EXCHANGE.
1t strikes us that it is matter of deep
regret lrather than of congratulation
that five Nermonters represent other
States in the national Senate The very
fact that they haye been elected to the
Senate shows that they are superior to
the average of mankind in some respects
in ability, or influence, or legal lore, OF
what not; and consequently they are ex-
actlv the men whom we ought to keep IN
Vermont and whose departure is loss to
the State. They have left US; and theil
places have been taken by five foreigner,
of alien habits, morals and religion. The
exchange is wofully poor one for Yer
mont, and we see no reason why Yer
monters should rejoice over it st

Sir Edwin Arnold is said to pride himself
upon his ability to read poetry, for in one
interview he describes a visit which he paid
to Lord TenDysoD, to whom he read some
portions of MAUD" in manner to win the
appreciation of the author himself.
Hiram Maxim, the scientist and electrician
says it is mistake to suppose that the dis
charge of life loaded with smokeless pow
der is noiseless. There is. says he, no such
thing as noiseless gunpowder. The report
from discharge Of smokeless powder is
much sharper and higher pitched than that
from black or ordinary gunpowder; 1t can
not, however, be heard anything like SO lar
away. The recoil of the piece is much less,
also, with smokeless powder.
Why trees or other plants grow erect has
never yet been definitely determined. 1t has
been supposed to have some relation to the

cases In an English coal mine 1000 feet deep,

darkness, they were erect. They were per :

In all probability the election returns from
most or the States will be late coming in to-
night OF the great. important eastern
States all but Pennsylvania vote by the Aus
tralian ballot. Under this system the count.
ing 10 usually slow process. In addition,
in Massachusetts, there has been an amend.
ment of the law, which cannot fail to make
the count still slower. The ballots must be
counted at least twice-frst by two canvass.
Ing officers of one party under the inspection
OF one of the opposite party. and then by two
OF the latter under the inspection of one of
the former. Each result is reported indie
pendently to the presiding election officer,
and II the two agree the count of this block
of ballots is finished; If the results do not
agree, the ballots are counted over In the
same way until they do. In Ohio the law is
having its first trial, and the elections Off
GERS will probably be slow in counting the
unaccustomed ballots. In New York the
system ha: been lsnger under trial, SO that
returns from that State ought to be as early
at least, as they were after the elections last
November.

The suspension of the Maverick bank of
Boston, though doubtless anticipated among
Boston fnaDciers, was great surprise to
the general public. The causes OF the banks
failure are not yet clearly explained, but no
doubt speculative investments are at the
bottom of it. The Maverick bank was one
of the best known In New England, and its
reputation generally was good, though it is
apparent now that conservative financiers
had been suspicious of 1t for long time
How much the depositors will
lose remains to be seen. The
stockholders are held TO make up any de.
fciency to double the par value of their
stock, and as more than half the stock is
held by Mr.. Asa Potter and Col. Jonas H.
French these gentlemen will very likely be
rendered insolvent. OF course failure of
this magnitude cannot take place without
weakening public confidence, and its indi-
rect effect, therefore. may be to break down
some weak firms. But there appears to be
be good reason for believing that no wide
spread disaster will follow. and that no other
banking institution will be seriously af-
ected by it,

A prominent Ohio farmer, Mr.. I. b. Terry

MIR. EUsTIs' COACHMAN,
Washington Authorities to Decide His Status
Under the Law.

washington authorities to Decide His Status
Under the Law.
Mr.. W. c. Eustis of this city, whose English
coachman, Francis John Hewlett was detained
under the contract labor law in New York as
detailed in The STAR, went down to the barge
Office yesterday and was told that his servant
could go. In fact Mr.. -Eustis was accompanied
by Hewlett, who had been allowed to quit the
barge Office pending a settlement of his case,
and both master and man seemed glad when
Col. Weber informed them that the papers in
the case would be sent to Washington and that
as Mr.. Eustis lived here he would be in easy
reach of the authorities if they wanted him.
Col. Weber said that he should have rendered
a decision in the case himself had it not been
that Hewlett had landed before any suspicion
had arisen as to his liability to the contract
labor law. When a man has once landed
Col Weber thinks the is beyond his
jurisdiction, and he accordingly prepares
statement of the case and forwards it to Wash
ington. Sometimes a recommendation accom-
panies the statement, but this is not absolutely
necessary.
When asked if he thought that the present
case that was covered by the contract
labor law the colonel said that it was an opcn
question, but he rather leaned to the opinion
that it was not. There is a clause in the law
exempting personal servants, lecturers, minis
tiers, singers and others whose labor does not
affect trade. Whether coachman is a personal
arisen before now. and the decision Of the au-
thorities in this city will be precedent As
Mr.. Eustis and his coachman are amenable to
the law for one year. there is no need to hurry
the case. Col. Weber thinks that the spirit Of
the law is not intended for cases Of this kind.
