EX-SENATOR EOMUNOS TO THE SU
PREME COlIRT

Mr.. Edmunds created something of a
sensation in the supreme court at Wash
|ington on Wednesday, when, arguing for
the State of Vermont in the celebrated
To- Neil case, he criticised the decision of
the court in the Iowa case, saying, ac-
|cording to the press reports:
The principle laid down in that case
was one dangerous to the peace and Sc
curity of the people of the individual
States. We were people who could
never live under consolidated form of
government any more than under a segre-
gated form of government, such as that
provided for by the old articles of con-
federation. He thought the court had
not in the Leisy case established the clear
and plain line of demarkatiOn to be drawn
between the rights of the State and of the
nation. The true line of what was sub
ject to the prohibitions of the constitu-
ton as respects limitations on Interstate
commerce lie submitted with all defer
ence to the court, was that when goods
have reached their final destination, when
I they are either to be consumed or remain
where they are, they are subject to the
law just AS though raised in the State, or
made in the State, or born in the State.
lie apologiZed 10 the court FOR crltlclZlng
its opinion, and urged it to restore the
| line of demarkation and to 90 back to the
true doctrine in this case while there was
| yet time.
The O'Neil case is one of the most
noted of recent years in this State. John
IO'Neil, liquor dealer of Whitehall, for
long time supplied thirsty residents of
Rutland with rum in packages to suit on
the c. o. ID. plan. He was fined large
sum, it being decided by the county court
and afterward by the State supreme court,
that the sale in this fashion was sale in
Vermont and that he was amenable to
Vermont law. He appealed to the United
States supreme court, where his counsel
|is ex-AttOrney-General Garland. The
cause promises to gain national notoriety.

WORKING UNDER DlFFloULslEs.

How little readers know of the difficult
ties, in many cases, under which the
books they so easily pcruse have been
written, says the Boston journal, Sew
eral instances come to mind of recently
written volumes which, in their construc-
tion, have caused unusual labor, because
of physical af1liction, and vet which
show, in their finished condition, no sign
of preliminary difficulty.
There is one book which Houghton,
Mifiln & Co. have in preparation that
will Illustrate this. 1t is an historical
work of a most thorough character, deal
ing with the political and social growth
of Vermont, and intended for the Ameri-
can Commonwealth Series.
The author is Mr.. Rowland S. Robinson,
whose name is well identified with the
town of Ferrisburgh, Vt. When he be-
gan his work upon this history, at the
request of the publishers, he had no idea
of the sudden difficulties that were to
spring up before him. The early pages
came quickly and easily from his pen,
but before many chapters had been writ
ten his eyesight began to fail, and for a
year or more past he has been obliged to
abandon reading entirely-and for such a
work researches are of course absolutely
neceSSafy-Wnlle,l IN attempting TO write,
if the ink failed him in the middle of a
word, he could not, after removing the
pen, see where to begin again. So when
he wrote pencil had to be employed.
But fortunately for Mr. Robinson he has
in his good wife most efficient help
mate. From the beginning she aided
him in his work. and as his vision grew
DINNER she was the one who sought out
the references and who placed his words
on paper.
Mr.. Robinson is certainly a genuine
son of the Green Mountain State. Ner-
mont had not been long in the Union be-
fore his grandfather settled there. Mr..
RobinsOns great aunts were the "Robin-
son sisters" who lived in Newport, Il. l.,
during revolutionary days, and whose
names have become famous there. On
his mothers side Mr.. Robinson is con-
nected with Col. Gilpin of Virginia, one
of General Washington's staff during the
Revolution and IA pallbearer at the tun-
eral of the first President. All his i'm
mediate ancestors were Quakers. In his
early days Mr.. Robinson was draghts-
man in New York, being connected with
illustrated papers, but of late the success
of his magazine articles has led him to
devote part of his time to literature. lie

THE ADJOURNED VILLAGE MEETING

The adjourned village meeting, held at
the town hall on Wednesday afternoon,
accomplished practically nothing and a
further adjournment was taken tt 2
o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday,
Feb. 3.
The attendance Wednesday did not ex-
ceed 40, counting the boys. Hon. Geo.
Hammond, the moderator, called to or
der and stated that the object of the gath
erng was to hear the report of the trus
tees on the reorganization of the fire de-
partment and on the matter of the high
way leading from Merchants Row to the
creek.
Mr.. Upper wanted to hear al out the
fire company, and Chairman Wilds made
remarks on the question. The board, he
said, had appointed public meeting to
hear all who wanted to be heard, but
through an oversight no general notice
of it was given and 50 no one came. The
trustees had therefore not been able to ar
rive at conclusion. His own idea was
that the companies should be allowed to
run themselves. The village had been in
the habit of paying about Sl2O year to
the tiremeI, and that compensation prob
ably should be continued. OF course it
was not full pay, in some years, for the
services rendered. but it was something.
He thought the membership should be to
IA certain extent in the hands of the trus-
tees, that is. that a list of the active
members who were to do the work in
time of fire should be submitted to the
trustees for their approval every year by
the foreman of each company, and all
candidates for admissi ion to the compa-
nies should be approved by the board.
The companies could have as many hon
Orary members as they chose. He sub
mitted for consideration a resolution en-
bodying this idea and another providing
that Sl20 year should be divided among
the companies, having regard to the SER
vice actually rendered by the members
of each during the year at fires. But,
inasmuch as the meeting was slimly at
tended, he doubted the eXpediency of
acting upon them. No action was taken.
Further remards were made by Mr..
Upper, Mr.. +. A. Bond and Mr.. Justus
Cobb.
As to the highway business Mr.. Wilds
said the charter placed the whole matter
of laying out, throwing up and changing
highways in the hands of the trustees
and he saw DO occasion for action by the
village.
Mr.. Upper moved, and it was voted,
that "this meeting be adjourned for two
weeks and that in the mean time pub
lie meeting of the trustees be called to
consider the subject of the reorganization
of the fire department" 1t was also
voted, on the suggestion of Mr.. Bond,
that notice of this public meeting of the
trustees he given IN the REGISTER and
that notice of it be posted by the clerk
in the post office.
