UNDER ADJUSTMENT.
Pro and Cons Argued in the Hanna Con-
tempt Case.


tempt Case.
The Hanna contempt case had a further
hearing before Judge Morrow yesterday
afternoon.
Attorney Riordan made an exhaustive
argument for the accused newspaper re-
porter, claiming that the court could not
punish Hanna for contempt because the
act was not committed in the presence of
the court, nor in such manner as to inter-
ruDt or interfere with the proceedings Of
the court, nor during the tendency of the
proceedings criticized
Attorney Pilsbury admitted that the law
was not clear that the court had the power
TO punish for contempt in such a case. but
he maintained that Hanna's act was COM
United during the tendency Of case and
was calculated TO interfere with the admin
istretioD of justice toward his client.
Attorney Riordan pointed out that it was
a common thing for newspapers to criticize
the actions of court officials even during
the tendency OF cases-which he would not
admit was true in this case-and that il the
Judges undertook to take cOgnizance of
these publications the courts would have
no time Tor other business.
He als0 pointed out that not only the re-
porter who wrote the article, but the editor
who passed 1t. as well as the publisher
responsible for its printing. should also. In
strict justice, be cited for contempt
Judge Morrow took the case under ad-
yiSement.

that of DR.. Bunker, resident physician OF

AN UNNECESSARY MEASURE.

That amiable and good-looking official,
Adjutant-General Il. S. Peck of Burling-
ton, has made his annual report to the
people of Vermont for the current year.
In it he expresses his opinion that, in
view of the original object of the estab-
lishment of the national guard of the
State and also of our exposed position on
the frontier, our forces should be in
creased by at least one battalion of in
fantry and one company of cavalry.
From Gen. Peck's standpoint, this is of
course true. The magnitication of the
national guard would increase the nomi-
nal consequence of its officers and would
be cheerful performance all around-for
them. But not every one, and, in
deed, very few persons look at the ma
tional guard through the eyes of its Of
ficers. TO most of them it appears to be
a means to the end that a small number
of persons may 60 on dress-parade at the
public expense and that the braves who
compose the rank and file may have a
good time and have it paid for out of the
State treasury. This is about all the
national guard amounts to, practically,
although it has incidentally inspired the
muse of poetry and had the effect of ele-
waiting to office some individuals who had
no fitness for it. The training of citizens
to military duties is of value but there
is an easily ascertanable limit to the
number who, in State like ours, require
such training, and to the amount of mon
ey which the State can afford to eXpend
in that direction. 1t is very generally
agreed among those not personally en-
gagged in fighting the annual parade
ground battles of the national guard
that the limit of expense has been reach
ed, if not exceeded, and that whatever
move is made should be in the direction
of lessening rather than increasing it.
schools, more manufactures and more
general prosperity we can safely trust
the present guard to keep our frontier
clear of invaders. If the national guard
were largely increased, the State might
soon become so impoverished that nobody
would think of invading it. At any
rate, it migh1be just as well for the mill
tary spirit to exercise itself ON the ma
terial already provided, instead of seek
ing to make the material more abundant,
or the good people may decide to try and
scraDe along with still less warriors
maintained at their cost.

NOT A GREAT DISCOVERY.

An alleged important discovery made
by Hon. B. B. Smalley, late candidate for
the governorshfp of Vermont on the Dem
ocratic ticket, was heralded from New
Y FORK on Monday through the medium of
an Associated Press dispatch. 1t was, in
substance, that Governor-elect Fuller and
Mr.. Stranahan, the acknowledgements
elect. were directors of national banks
and therefore not eligible, under the con-
sttution of Vermont for the offices to
which they had been chosen. But 1t
turns out that Mr.. Smalley was "otf :"
both as to the facts and the constitution.
The constitution, as originally adopted,
contained this clause:
"Nor shall any person holding any Of
flee of profit or trust under the authority
of Congress be eligible to any appoint
ment in the legislature or of holding any
executive or judiciary office under this
State"
Later it was amended by adding:
"The words office of profit or trust
under the authority of Congress shall be
construed to mean any office created di-
rectly or indirectly by Congress, and for
which emolument is provided from the
United States treasury"
National bank directors are not paid
out of the United States treasury. 1t
appears, then, to be of no consequence
whether MIR. Fuller and Mr.. Stranahan
are or are not national bank directors.
Mr.. Fuller saws he is not such an official !:
Mr.. Stranahan may be, but it does not
matter If he is, so far as his eligibility to
the office to which he has been elected is
concerned. There is is, therefore, alb
solutely nothing Of Mr.. Smalley's con-
tentiOn.

sort.

SOMETHING FOR 1T NOT To BE.

A contributor to the Railway and
prporation Law journal, in discussing
be status of certain law, speaks of the
Pnfuslon regarding it which has arisen
|om the action of incompetent legisla-
|rs, and pays his respects to legisla-
Tres in general after this fashion,:
State legislatures that merely repre-
mt the concrete drivel of every intel
|ctual eunuch that can purchase his
|ection; that are made up of zooiogi-
II job-lot of chattering buffoons, that
I've passed into hopeless atrophy of
|e thinking ganglia, and who are
| epts in nothing but the arts of the
|rty thieves, subtraction, division and
(ence," are not likely to impress upon
e character of the legislation they
hit the constituent elements of either
|mmon sense or common honesty, and
|e only marvel is that such collusive
ulteries with ignorance do not display
u cir effects in more extended welters
lurid fool-frenzy than they do.

The law of the State relating to the
|aking of trout is in somewhat uncer-
lain shape, owing to botch-work in
Intending it at the last session, and its
amendment, in the direction of clearness
| nd certainty, ought to be one of the
| rst Jobs undertaken by the legislature.
nd the law relative to the bird ordi-
|arily called partridge is not much bet
|er. The revised laws of 1880 speak of
as the "ruffed grouse; but all the
amendments to the game laws since

The following circular-copies of
which have been sent to the sheep breed
ers-explalns itself:
BRANDON, VT, Sept. 26, 1892.
Dear Sir The managers of the Worlds
Columbian exposition, to be held at Chic
ago next year, offer SLIGO in premiums
in each of the three classes of Merino
sheep. There are eight or ten classes of
the mutton breeds and the premiums in
each of these are the same as for the
Merinoes.
Our legislature has made appropria-
tons, about $1,000 of which may be used
in making a State exhibit of sheep. The
time for making the exhibition is from
Sept. 25 to Oct. IA, 1898.
The time to consider the matter and be-
gin preparations for an exhibit worthy
of Vermont and to make application for
room in the show building is at hand. 1t
seems best and necessary that the breed
ers of stud flocks of all breeds should
consult together and devise some plan of
organization whereby we may avail our
selves of the financial aid extended by
the State. Therefore | assume to call a
meeting of the breeders of Merinoes and
of the various mutton breeds to be held
at the Addison House in Middlebury,
Thursday, Oct. 6, at half-past ten o'clock
IN the forenoon.
You are earnestly requested to attend
and bring your neighbor if he is inter-
es led in the matter. Hon. II. II. McIn-
tyre, chairman of the Vermont commits
sion, will be present.
IT is unnecessary to urge upon you the
Importance of the interests at stake or to
ask you to consider the benefits that will
surely follow if you take the matter in
hand and make such an exhibit as Ver-
mont is capable of. Give the subject
immediate. careful consideration. Come
