THE O'NEll CASE AGAIN.
4 Concise Resume of the Issue Which Has
Attracted National Attention.


The now famous case of State VS.. John
O'Neil will again come before the Supreme
Court at the coming January term. O'Neii.
it will be remembered is the Whitehall \.
v, liquor dealer, who sent jugs of liquor TO
Rutland by express, G. q. D., and was con
victed of between 300 and 400 violations of
the prohihitory law, involving fine of over
$1,000, with the alternate sentence to the House
of Correction for something over 80 years.
After the afIirmatons of the Judgment by our
State Supreme Court, the case was taken TO
the United States Supreme Court 10y writ OF
error and there presented by O'Neil's Coun-
sci, Hon. Joel G. Baker of Rutland, ON the
ground that the decision was repugnant to
the national law respecting interstate com
merce. The court held otherwise by ma
jority of six to three, and the case was sent
back, and now comes before the supreme
Court on motion in arrest of judgment.
In powerful dissenting opinion by Judge
Field of the United States Supreme Court,
that eminent iuriSt claimed that inasmuch as
the law puts man on trial for a multi
tude of crimes on a single complaint,
it is unconstitutional as not giving the
respondent notice of the nature and
cause of the accusation against
him The constitutional objections to the
law thus suggested were presented to our
supreme court at the last general
term by Mr.. W. II. Bliss of
Middlebury in State VS.. Hodgson,
Decision in this last case is yet reserved and
Mr. Baker adopts the brief of MI Bliss in
behalf of O'Neil upon that branch of his
case. As these cases involve the validity of
the present liquor law they are looked for

The Sauntever notices in various State
papers that at some recent auctions of farm
property, cattle have sold at high prices
while horses and sheep have seemingly been
declining in value, Farmers just now seem
very anxious to stock their farms with COWS.
Only a few years ago they wanted horses
aud colts, and this kind of property sold at
very high prices. \ little later, farmers
wanted sheep, and they sold well. If they
had sold some of their horses and sheep
when they We're selling for big prices, and

Not much is heard these days about wide
tires and road improvement. For the past
few weeks the attention of Burlngtonians
has been directed more particularly to the
need of sidewalk improvement The Saun-
terer does not remember winter
when for so many days in sue
ce>sion the sidewalks in the city were
so unsafe for pedestrians as they have been
during the present month. In too many
cases. lack of public spirit or sheer laziness
on the part of residents has permitted the
snow to remain ON the sidewalks just as it
fell. After it has been packed down the
snow pillow comes along and, of course, can
not get down to the Tagging or concrete, as
the case may be. \ thaw is followed by a
freeze and the sidewalks become dangerous
ly slippery, with the result that everybody
walks in the road where constant look
out has to be kept for electric cars or
teams without bells, in violation of
section of chapter of the revised ord-
nances of the city. That ordinance, which
by the way is continually being violated
with impunity. reads as follows: Nor shall
any person drive with or in any sled sledge
or sleigh of any description, whether of
burden, or Of pleasure, faster than n walk
in or through any public street, lane or al
ley in this city. unless there shall be three
or more bells attached to the thill or pole
thereof or the harness of the horse or
horses drawing the same" This is certain
~ sufficiently explicit and exhaustive and if
II few examples We're made of offenders good
results would undoubtedly follow.

ter gives the City Council power ''to compel

But if the snow cannot be removed from the

sprinkle sand over the ice, as suggested by a

TRAINING THE CHILD.

knowledge Necessary to the Education
OF Future Generations.
The daily life of the family, with its
manners, conversa tions, occupations
and interests, is now the main teacher;
and as this is, so will the world and
life of the child be. Though nothing
can replace this, nevertheless it may
be supplemented by the employment
of French and German governesses, who
shall make their respective languages
native to the child from the first.
Such governesses ought always to be
trained teachers, and, when employed,
trusted friends of the family. II is a
great misfortune for child who is to
move in the higher walks of life not to
have complete command of the three
world-languages, The lack of any of
them greatly limits that free and easy
contact with men which is essential to
practical knowledge of them. More
over, each language represents dis
tinct form of consciousness, and the
more of these forms one has the freer
and more sympathetic he is. The nat
urally bilingual man belongs spiritu-
ally to two nationalities. But other
things besides languages may be I'M
parted unconsciously at this stage.
Important among these are right SYM
pathies and self-control. In any edu-
cation whose aim is moral autonomy
nothing is more essential than cor
rect distribution of sympathy or affcc-
tion, or, to use the ancient phrase, than
loving and hating well. And nothing
is SO much neglected in American edu-
cation. The stupidity sentimental no.
tion that the child must under any
circumstances, have good time" las
the vulgar phrase is) causes many par
ents to allow children to follow their
natural caprices, wasting their interest
and affection upon trivial or even hurt
ful things, and disregarding those that
are worthy and beneficial. There is
nothing that the child is so thankful
for in the long run as the careful and
kindly training of his affections; there
is nothing that contributes SO much to
his moral worth and happiness. Close
ly connected with the result of this
| training is that self-control which is
the essential element in moral auton-
omy. In the child this takes the form
of sustained attention, and courage to
carry out his wishes in defiance of
difficulties and instructive shrinkings
forms both Of which will be found OF
the utmost value in the subsequent
course of education

HUNGER IN CHILDREN.
eometimes Arises From an Unhealthy Con.
ditiou.

ditior.
Normal hunger is tho natural de.
mand Of the system for necessary food
II has been aptly lillened to the de.
mand for fuel which steam boiler
makes In order that it may produce
power in the shape of steam.
But hunger Is not infrequeiitlt tile
symptom of disordered state Of the
stomach.
Adults often suffer in this way. Sem
sations OF hunger come on at short
intervals during the day. often at
times when it is impossible to crafty
them. When the proper time for eat
ing arrives the person is unable to cat
for lack of appetite.
Sedentary habits, close confinement,
lack of exercise of of out-of-door air
are likely to produce this form of indi-
gestion. In adults the symptom is
usually recognized rs form of dyspep-
sia, and physician is consulted.
In childhood q constant craving for
food is too often looked upon as a nat
ural accompaniment of the growing
age. Children affected in this way
commonly complain of an inability to
eat at the regular mealtime, but be-
tween meals they become very hungry.
Too often, in such cases, they are al
lowed to satisfy themselves with cakes,
candies or other available sweetmeats-
Such articles, which properly may be
eaten at suitable times, serve then only
to destroy the appetite for the next
meal.
1t is not to be denied that young
children should be fed oftener than
adults. Four meals a day may be given
with propriety to children, as we'll as
to the sick and aged; but they should
be given with regularity and with
proper attention to the cha racter of
the food. A wholesome, substantial
luncheon put upat home is better than
the food which child is likely to buy
with money given to him for the pur-
pose.
The feeding of children at all hours
is radically improper, since it directly
favors digestive disturbances; and n
child improperly feed rarely grows
into large and well-formed adult.
Some babies are always ravenously
hungry, and yet are thin and poorly
nourished. They should not be fed
oftener than healthy babies. The di-
gestive tract is weak and needs inter-
walls Of repose in order to perform its
functions properly.-Youth's Com
pnnion.
