WITHOUT WARRANT.
Senator Villas Makes a Mastery
Plea in the Suit Against
the Treasurer.
Treasurers Have No Warrant to
Deposit State Funds for Their
Own Benefit.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 10.-The feat
ure in the treasury suit today was the
argument Of Senator Villas. The court
was crowded. Tha senator spoke con-
stantly until the court adjourned at 500,
and summed up for the prosecution.
He argued that the law gave treas
urers no warrant to deposit state funds
III banks for their individual bene-
mt. although it did not prohibit such in
vestmentS for tine benefit of the state.
He called attention to the secrecy with
which the deposits had been made
through financial agents and trusted
relatives, as evidence of intent to de-
fraud the state of the interest upon the
public funds, and said:
IF the transactions by which these
interests were gained are illegal, the
lllegality is entirely the act of the
treasurers themselves and a breach
OF their official duties, but it does not
lie III their mouths, therefore,
to say that the state has no
title to the money they ! have.
two who Jointly undertake an illegal
transaction it does not permit an agent
solely chargeable with illegality to re-
tort on his innocent principal his own
violation of law. 1t cannot require
much examination of the evidence to
disclose to the court that every meas
ure of care was taken by these treas
nrers to conceal knowledge of their
interest transactions. and that they
were i'll a large measure successful.
For years the state has been victimized
in a manner which, when it comes to be
known, awakens genuine condemua-
tion."
1t is impossible to foreSee when a de-
clsion will be made, but it is not looked
for before the middle of October.

the material is at hand in the state of
New York to secure lis electoral

this cannot be done without

CROP CONDITIONS.
Corn Shows a Decline of Three
Points From the August
Reports.
September Average OF Winter and
Spring Wheat Also Shows a
Falling Off.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The statis-
tician of the department of agriculture
reports decline in the September con-
dftion of corn to 79.5 from S25 in Au-
gust. The change is slight in the sur
plus corn states except in Kansas.
Present condition is 70 in Ohio, IS in
Indiana, 20 in Illinois. rs in Iowa, 81 in
Missouri. 70 in Kansas and 7S in Ne
braska. In other states the average of
condition is everywhere higher than the
net average eXcepta in Michigan and
Wisconsin. In comparison with Sep
tember reports of the past ten years
only three were lower-70.l in 1890, 72.3
in 1887, 76.6 in 1856. The present fig
ures are between five and six points
below the average of ten previous
years.
The crop is well grown, and maturing
rapidly. without frost as yet in the East
ern states. Corn has improved in Cen
tral Ohio and declined from drought in
Michigan, Illinois and Kansas, and in a
less degree in Missouri and Iowa. The
crop is late throughout the Northwest.
No injury from frost is reported.
The September average for spring
WilCdI d> Ildl fcSltu iS OO.O. lie August
average for spring wheat was
S7.3 and the July condition of
winter wheat was 500. The average
decline since previous reports there
tore exceeds three points. In the pre-
ceding ten years the condition was lower
in 1888, 1885, 1887, 1888 and 1890. The
average Of ten years is Sc. In the
Middle states the quality is me-
dium. Rust is reported to some extent.
The yield of Illinois wheat has gener-
ally met the expectation. and is good in
Southern Indiana, but disappointing in
some districts of that state and Ohio.
The yield in Southern and Western Mis-
souri, was somewhat better than was eX-
pected. though it was disappointing in
other sections. Quality is excellent in
Kansas and the quantity exceeds expec-
tatiOns.
In the spring wheat region the crop is
light in Wisconsin and barely an aver
age one in Minnesota. From Is TO rs
per cent of the South Dakota crop was
harvested the 1st of September, relative
ly small in yield, with a somewhat
shrivelled berry. A medium crop has
been gathered Oh the Pacific coast. In
Washington there was some improve
ment.
The condition of the other crops is as
follows: Oats, 79.6; rye, SS.5; buck
wheat, SO: potatoes, 74.S; tobacco, T9.9:
rice, 80. This is a heavy reduction in
everything except rice and barley.

The st. Albans Messenger, which has
been basking in the air for some weeks ON
the matter of candidate, has got to the
earth finally, and lights upon Lieut., GOV.
Fletcher as a suitable "farmer candidate"
for Governor. This is just where we ex-
nected The Messenger would gravitate
when it dropped. Now let us hear from
tne Rutland Herald.-Barton Monitor
The above, from the Barton Monitor of
the DIST. SO far as the assertion that The
Messenger finds in Henry A. Fletcher OF
Cavendish a suitable "farmeI candidate"
for Governor, is entirely correct.
Apart from its intuitive knowledge, how
ever. the Monitor has no present warrant
IN intimatipg that The Messenger FINALLY
lights upon Mr.. tletcher as It's cailuluaee
for the Governorship.
Among the names then suggested were
those II Victor /. Spear OF Braintree and
Henry A. Fletcher of Cavendish. The Mes

privileges which only few availed tlem-
selves OF, it will not stand, for all the peo-
pie would use them il placed within their
reach. 1t is also urged that the number
of government employees would be great
ly increased. But this need not be, if the
telephone is used for short distances and
simply put in each postoffce. few tele-
graph centers could be established in each
state, to which long distance messages
could be sent and from there despatched.
There would be no expense in delivering
messages, as they would simply be sent to
the postofiices, and the increasing number
of private telephones would of course also
be availed Of. The only considerable OPP
position comes from the Western Union
which has absorbed nearly all it's rivals
and looks with jealous eyes upon any such
entertainments. The cry is raised that
this will lead to governmental control of
railroads. But the two cases have moth
ing TO do with each other. The railroads
are already servants OF the government as
far as carrying the mail goes and VINO will
say that it is not better and cheaper done
than II by private corporations. 1t is easy
to see good reasons for opposition from
company which has paid over 100 per cent
dividends yearly aud whose net profits in
twenty-five years are s1OO,OOO,OOO. This
monopoly isthe largest and most power
full of any in this country. Is il not about
time that the people interfered? Why
should we expend time and strength and
money to save an hour or two in the
transmission Of mats, when Congress, by
a single enactment could arrange to de-
liver messages almost simultaneously, and
at minimum cost? Why should there
be delay in answering the above questions?

portion of the State press has been
making and unmaking governors during
couple of months past. Not content
with discussing possible candidates, there
have been instances where they have fell
to belaboring one another. The unwritten
lax makes il imperative that an EAST
sidon man be elected to the Chief Execu
tive, and he attitude of the "West side''
papers have been TO let the war on the
other side go on until some decision should
be reached. The exceptions are the Mes
senger, which advocates representative
farmer and the Rutland Herald, general
guerilla. We trust our brethren of the
agoose quil,r will arrive at an amicable
understanding for their own peace OF
mind, but We are inclined to think that
the canvass points to the representative
farmer candidate. In this line three
names are prominently mentioned: Hem
ry A. Fletcher OF Cavendish, the present
Lieut. -Governor, Hons. Victor l. Spear
and Josiah GroUt. Farmer Chaplin OF Mid
diesex has also been mentioned. The Brat
tieboro papers advocate Levi X. Fuller,and
the st. Jobnsbury brethren cordially sup
port Col fairbanks. We think the Mes
senger's position is sound. 1t says: ats
candidate Is that Republican who, com
petent and qualified to discharge the re-
sponsible duties Of the position, can com
mand the largeat vote. Ii is content TO
leave the selection to the convention

The governor question is interesting
tho people hereabout just now. Victor l.
Spear would be more acceptable candi-
date than Col Fuller. Other farmers
have been named as candidates besides
Mr.. Spear but he would be more accepta-
BILE to the republicans in this section than
any of the others, excepting perhaps
Lieut.. Gov. Fletcher and the promotion
rule will exclude him. Then there is
Farmer Chaplin OF MIddlebuTy but he has
said too much about taxation, Savings
banks, agricultural colleges and railroads
to suit even tine farmers. Farmer Grout
who is a prominent man in Orleans coun-
ty declines being a candidate. Taking
all these things into consideration it looks
as though Mr.. Spear would be the most
available. Amy way the best man should
be selected, no matter wheth-r he is a
farmer, lawyer or a mechanic.

lfnclc Snm,s servants.

Ii is well known that there is much dis
cussion in regard TO making the telegraph
and telephone parts of the Postofiice sys-
tenn. bnt perhaps few people have clear
ideas as to how this is to be brought a
bout. A very few words will suffice to
show the advantages to be gained by such
step. Indeed there seems hardly any
thing to be said on that score. In regard
to whether it is constitutional or not, Art.
/. Sec. s, of the Constitution says, Con
gress shall have power to establish post
Offices and post roads, Under that sim
ple provision what vast changes and inn
provements have been made, not dreamed
of by the founders of that document.
When steam came into use, Congress
speedily adopted its service, and now that
we have a swifter servant, electricity, why
not avail ourselves of that, alsog Every
other civilized country has already done
so. In Great Britain and Ireland the tele-
graph has long been part OF the postal
service, and the rates are, like postage,
uniform for all distances. One cent word
for kilograms and in Germany, Austria,
France and relgium, still less. 1t seems
as If we might easily adopt the same meth
cd and charge, say, five cents a message.
At first this seems such reduction from
present rates that people are almost
frightened at the idea. But think OF the
comparatively small cost of telegraph
poles. wire and apparatus. This is not a
money making scheme, and nostockhoid-
ers are to be made rich by it. The govern
meut can afford to pay freight to railroads,
steamboats,, and Star routes, and send a
letter for two cents in this country and
all around the world for five cents. Why
not send telegrams for five cents, when
the outlay is proportionately 50 muen
less? The telephone patent expires next
Nav. and now would be the best time %
secure it, before any private corporation
stems in. Think of the convenience IN
the country districts especially. Inc
preseut cost and Inconvenience make II
improbable that the people at large VIII
ever avail themselves Of the use ot the
telegraph and telephone to any great eH-
tent. But when the objection IS maoe
that all the people would have to pay ior
