companies said Judge Gresham, and
this court is asked to aid that body in
obtaining evidence which it is claimed
will tend to support the charge. The
subject of the inquiry is not brought
here for adjudication, and this court
can exercise no discretion beyond de-
Gliding whether the evidence demanded
is pertinent to the charge and within
the general scope of the twelfth section
of the act. Congress cannot thus make
a judicial department the mere adjunct
or instrument of either of the depart
ments of government Concluding,
Judge Gresham says: Undoubtedly
congress may confer upon a non
judicial body authority to obtain infor-
nation necessary for legitimate govern
mental purposes and make refusal to
appear aud testify before it touching
matters pertinent to an authorized in
quiry an offense punishable by the
courts, subject, however, to the privi-
lege of witnesses to make no disclosures
which might tend to incriminate them
or subject them to penalties or forfeit
ures. The prosecution of any action
for violation of such a statute would
clearly be an original suit or contro-
versy between parties within the mean
ing of the constitution and not a mere
application like the present for the ex-
ercise of the judicial power in aid of
a non-judicial body So much of sec
ton twelve as authorizes or requires
the court to use their powers in aid of
inquiries before the interstate COM
merce commission is unconstitutional
and void, and the application is dis
missed for want of jurisdiction to en-
terrain it, District-Attorney Milchrst
at once gave notice that he would APP
ply for review of the case by the SUI
preme court. The railroad lawyers are
jubilant, feeling that they have now
virtually established the unconstitu-
tionality of the Interstate commerce
act"

WHAT could the people do, if they
should be aroused? The abolition of
senates should be the first thing. They
were designed by the monarchists of
the revolutionary times, of whom Ham
ilton was the chief, to promote the very
end now upon us. After that, we want
an election of the president by the di-
rect popular vote, to avoid the secret
conspiracies and combinations in ma
tional conventions. Then we want
the abolition of all business corpora
tons, and the control of railways as
public highways by the state and ma
tional governments. But the grip of
the combined millionaires is stronger
than that of any absolute monarch that
Europe ever saw; and we are not GO
ing to get any of these reforms without
strife. We might do so indeed, if we
had the sense in advance which we
shall have to acquire by conflict. We
could have settled the slavery question
easily, without war. God was settling
it for us, through the destruction Of
fertility under slave labor. But John
Brown could not wait for God; and
South and North went mad. No doubt
the Almighty could save us now, if We
would obey his laws and have regart
to his judgments.

HERE is something for the bright,
intelligent, ambitious boys to read and
think over-the boys who are to be our
future successful men: about sixty
years ago lame boy, named Erastus,
left humble home in New England,
and entered hardware store in Troy,
n. Y. Besides being lame he was
slender and sickly, and his prospects in
life seemed anything but promising.
| He knew little of the sports and pas
times that his companions enjoyed in
their childhood; his face, even in the
freshest years of life, bore marks of
suffering and care; and his friends
pitied him, and said that he was very
unfortunate. But he had quick, ac-
tive mind, full of right aspirations, and
a heart full of generous impulses. His
mind was at work, preparing for use
fulness in the future, aud fondly dream
ing of bright days to come, even in the
solitary hours of sickness and suffering.
He did the best he could, though his
lot was so circumscribed; and God had
life work full of honor for the poor
lame boy. When he first applied for
work in a store he was so small
that the proprietor looked into his earn
est face with some surprise and said:
Why, my boy, what can you do?' l
can do what | am bid, was the manly
answer. Well, my little fellow said
he, that is the kind of boy we want :;
you can have the place. That boy was
Erastus Corning, the millionaire. The
neglected, solitary, lame boy made him
self so useful to his employers by his
willingness to do what he was bid,
as to secure for himself the highest po-
sition of responsibility and trust. He
became bank president, railroad
president, canal company president,
was three times elected mayor of Al
: bany, was a member of the state legis-
lature, and for three terms member of
= congress. In 1863 he retired from bust.
/ ness with a fortune estimated at five
7 millions. The Bible says that he that
humbleth himself shall be exalted,
5 and the boy who would become sue
= cessful in life, must, like this man, be-
5 gin by showing willingness to do any
8 thing that he is bid. A conceited, hes.
! itating, over-nice clerk comes to moth
. ing; but the lad who is earnest and
q resolute, whose aims and purposes are
t his motive power, who is not to be
t turned aside from an object in life by
o false pride-in short, who, in any hon
e orable calling, is willing to do as hi
i is bid is almost certain, other thing'
o being equal, to rise in reputation, ant
It to be richly rewarded with success"

BUT perhaps some sharp reader will
say: you are a democrat, and your
party is in power. What are you afraid
Off" AS parties now stand, and are
organized, no party of the people can
control legislation, state or national.
The principles of the democratic party,
if they could be rightly applied, would
make us safe; but with the best will
they cannot be, hampered by the Ham
iltonian principles introduced into the
constitution by compromise. Hamil-
ton wanted to reproduce the English
constitution upon American soil. He
did not succeed; but he got enough of
the aristocratic virus into our institu-
tions to poison them through and
through. Instead of an aristocracy of
men we have an aristocracy of cor
porations-worse than that of men, be.
cause men die and their plans fail; but
corporations, though they have nc
bodies to be kicked, and no souls to be
damned" are yet immortal, under the
laws as they exist, so far as the people
are concerned. The majority of both
parties must work together for this re-
form.
THAT there is general and wide
spread discomfort among our people ir
regard to our institutions, and the way
they are made to work, no intelligent
citizen can doubt. 1t looks to us al
though the republican party had full
filled its mission, and solved the issues

NEVERTHELESS, we believe that our
friends of the grange may well take
hint from this complaint. Love begets
love; GOODNESS begets GOODNESS. That
is the principal obstacle to the success
of any society of which secrecy is an
element. Secrecy excites suspicion
often very unjustly; and the best way
to escape it is steady display of public
spirit, without regard to the limits of
the organization. This public spirit
has certainly been plainly evinced by
the grange in Vermont, in many ways.
As it has been conducted, under the
wise leadership of Brother Messer, it
has worked for the interest of farmers
in general. 1t is for this reason that we
felt so free in calling upon him to give
the public his views in regard to the
best way to put stop to the swindling
of farmers by dishonest buyers and
commission men. We know Brother
Messer has been called away to the
meeting or the Natlonal orange; ana
we have therefore not felt any surprise
that he has not yet responded to our re-
quest. The recent session of the legis-
lature passed by without any effort
being made to revive the plan of an in
dependent agricultural college; leaving
it to be understood that so far as the
grange is concerned that matter has
been laid aside, if not abandoned. But
living and practical question, like the
one above referred to, is just the one
we would be glad to see the grange
grapple with. In doing so it would
bring itself before the whole community
and prove that its usefulness is nowist
narrowed by its peculiar organic alton.

Mr.. BowKER, of fertilizer fame, has
recently sent out for publication in the
agricultural papers an interesting essay
in regard to the proposed governmental
interference with the free pursuit of
the fish generally known as porgies.
These fish belong to the herring fam
lily, but are of no value for food, on
account of their excessive develop
ment of the bony system, which marks

ward, but reaches its climax in the
porgy. 1t is, however, valuable for its
oil; while the "churn," or pomace left
after pressing, is extensively used to
supply both nitrogen and phosphoric
acid to commercial fertilizers.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-12-21

THE motive of fishery protection by
law is the fear of DISCRIMINATING, or
driving away from our coast and rivers,
various food fishes. Mr.. Bowker
thinks it impossible to exterminate the
porgy-though it is often driven away
from our shores for several years at a
time by excessive fishing. AS the
porgy is certainly not food fish, so far
as man is concerned, Mr.. Bowker's
argument holds good on that side; and
as to driving it away for while, that
would seem to regulate itself The
strongest argument against him is that
while the porgy is not food fish fol
man, it is 80 for other very valuable
fishes; and when the porgy goes they
go, too. Mr.. Bowker labors to minim
ize that objection. We should pre-
fer to have this part of the question
treated by more impartial authority.

state legislatures and in congress, ha-
bitually emasculate laws nominally for
the benefit of the people as against
corporations. We send our ablest law
yers to these bodies, and ignorance of
the effect of the laws they pass can
not be successfully pleaded. They are
in conspiracy with the corporations to
nullify and destroy our free institu-
tons. And they will do it, too. The
people are not able to hinder them.
Insufliciently educated, and blinded by
party passions, the people are prac-
tically helpless, and there are not
enough honest men among our leaders

Is it a sin to "despair OF the repub-
lic?" We have been told by great pa
triots that it is. But it is a sin we are
overwhelmingly tempted to commit.
We have watched the progress of legis-
lation for forty years; and year by
year we have seen the apparent safe
guards of constitutional law nulified by
the sharp attorneys of monopoly, whom
the people blindly take, and elect to
represent them in their most sacred
rights. Unless the people can be
speedily and fully aroused to the dan
ger which surrounds them, "the jig is

A Little Girl shoots Her Mother.

Some weeks ago Mrs. William Reeves,
who resided near Drakestown, Ga, was
working in her yard and her little
5-year-old girl was in the house alone.
The girl had seen a boy, some time be-
fore, go to a chest and get out a pistol,
and she did the same. The child was
handling the weapon and it was dis
charged. The ball hit the mother, who
was out in the yard. The mother lin
gered until the other night, when she
died.
