The New York Herald In an article
yesterday. attempts defence of prize
fighting. After asserting the claim that in
its columns would be found the most
graphic report of the brutal contest at
Jacksonville, contained in any paper in
the country. the Herald adds:
Apparently il is useless preaching ser
mons against such an exhibition as that
given yesterday In city In the State of
Florida. As long as grass grows and
water runs the very best OF men will take
an interest In combat between two
trained athletes, or not TO put too fine n
point upon IL, prze-fighters To pretend
otherwise Is 10 be hypocrltical.

pose performs an act more or less unjusti-
liable and war results, even clergymea

OF their fellows by their own countrymen.
When two Ten batter each other with
sioved fists for n selfish purpose--that is,
to gain money prize-it Is called brutal
and degrading exhibition"

Attorney General r. Taylor Scott was
seen in his Office yesterday, he having
returned to the city from visit 10

nection with the recent prize fight in THAI
county. As stated some days ago, i'm

it is very likely that the Attorney Gener-
al will assist in the prosecution if pos
sible for him to get away from Rich

When asked regarding the Florida fasco,
he replied:
"Wel, I am surprised. I had supposed
that people generally regarded such
affairs in the light Of violations Of law,
though. of course. ] am not familiar with
the statute laws of Florida" said the
Attorney General.
Mr.. Scott was very guarded IN his

Ultimately this matter of dealing
with tuberculosis must become one in
which the Vermont legislature, or the
officials designated to execute the laws,
or the farmers themselves, will have
small option. A rigid quarantine will
be establish ID on the other side of the
boundary lines, and Vermont bovine
products that do not bear the seal of
wholesomeness, or freedom from dis
ease or the germs of disease, will not be
suffered to pass. Massachusetts and
New York will subject Vermont to
as rigid exactions, at least, as they do
their own people in this matter of sup
pressing tuberculosis and in excluding
tuberculous dairy products from their
markets. Vermont must anticipate
this action, and place her dairy products
beyond the possibility of successful
challenge.

The Suffrage Question.

The Vermont legislature might enact
measure repeating natural law, and
permit water, without mechanical COM
pulsion, to run up hill, but, with willful
persistence, water would unquestion-
ably continue to run its natural course
to the ocean. The lawmakers might
insist by legal enactment that fire
should descend, but without doubt this
element of nature would continue,
when its free will is unrestrained, to
mount towards heaven in obedience to
its natural law. Legislatures may en-
act reforms " against nature, but ma
ture will assert her right to follow along
the pathway on which she started at
the beginning. And she will maintain
her right against the intermeddling of
men or women, OF states or nations.
The attempt to impose the duties and
responsibilities of the suffrage upon
women is like an attempt to interfere
with natural la vs.. DR.. Bushnell has
per inently described it as "reform
against nature" No theory, no ex-
preston of continent, on this subject
can destroy or weaken the conclusive
force of the physiological and pathology
ical reasons why women should abstain
from the labors and eXcitements of such
direct, active participation in politics as
is implied in the exercise of the suffrage.
In this sexual division there is drawn
by the hand of God, dividing line be-
tween the duties and responsibilities OF
the sexes which no amount of theory
or sentiment can efface or override. II
can be effaced or overridden only at {
fearful cost to coming generations. Or
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1894-11-21

one side of this line are the public
duties of citizenship, the bearing of
arms in defense of the country, and the
assumption of all the sterner response
bilities; on the other side, the domestic
duties, the responsibilities of mother
hood aud the tender offices of humanity.
There can be no happy or just inter-
mingling of these duties and RESPONSE
bilities. The placement of this sexual
dividing line in respect of the perform.
ance of the duties and responsibilities
of citizenship must bring social chaos
and ultimate physical aud moral de-
terioration.
Woman, notwlh standing the ambi-
ii m of certain of her sisters to assume
the public functions nature as well as
mortal law has assigned to man, instinc-
lively appreciates this fact, and rebels
at the idea of having heavier and graver
duties, which she feels and understan DIS
that nature intended she should not
perform, thrust upon her against her
desire. On these grounds, the effort, in
the recent revision of the constitution
of New York, to impose the suffrage
upon women signally failed, notwith-
standing the state was stirred through
out all its borders in the interest of this
unnatural reform. Massachusetts,, the
foremost state in the Union in the mat
ter of progressive reforms, has deferred
to the great silent majority of her
women 80 often as this question has
been thrust upon the legislature-and
hat has been in almost every year dur
ing the last generation.
In the states in which a partial suf-
frage has been given woman, her inner
eut aversion and opposition to the
alleged fright" has been displayed by
her conspicuous absence from the polls.
This has been the result in progressive
Massachusetts. 1t is the result here in
Vermont, where woman, having
property in her own name, NAV vote in
school meetings, the one point of con.
tact with public affairs at which hel
voting influence could be most bene.
ficially exercised. In school meetings
the voting woman, throughout the en-.
tire state, has been conspicuous by hel
absence. Here in Montpelier, with
some 800 women entitled to vote in
school meeting, constituting in num-
bers the voting power of many towns
the school meeting has been left in the
sole control of the man voter $50 will
it be if the municipal suffrage bill now
before the legislature becomes law
So where is the wisdom of enacting {
law for state of things that will no
materialize, and against the material
ization of which in any form-particu
larly in the form for which this pro
posed municipal suffrage law is onl,
the entering wedge-the great majorit,
of the women of the state have set thei
faces like flint?

No Backward Step.

Fourteen COWS were killed at Biller-
lea, Mass, Saturday last, by order of
the state inspector and all were found
to be affected by tuberculosis. The
cattle were the property, in part, of the
town farm.
Twenty-eight COWS in one herd in
Burlington, whose milk had been sold
in that city, were suspected and re-
Gently tested. Twenty-six responded
to the test. 1t seems to be generally
conceded that the herds around the
Queen City, which furnish that COM
munity with milk, are badly affected
with the disease. AT the time the
state herd was killed last winter,
butcher who was present at the exam
ination, remarking upon the evidence
of disease in the organs and flesh of the
animals, said he. dressed worse looking
beef than that every day. An intelli-
gent and conscientious dairyman had
his cows tested and promptly removed
the diseased ones. He is able to show
clean bill of health for his herd, in
answer to all inquiries. Very naturally,
his customers are standing by him, and
his cry is, "Still they come"
If the individual farmer only knew it,
and if the farmers of the state collect
lively realized the fact, the course of this
Burlington farmer, and of farmers who,
like Mr.. L. G. Fisher of Cabot, have
purged their diaries of this menace to
human health and life, is the best adj
vertisement they could make of their
dairy products. Nothing will be gained
by policy of concealment, on the part
of the individual or the state. That
will be in the end the most disastrous
policy to pursue. A suspicion of the
existence of tuberculosis to a danger
GUS extent, in this state, and of a dis.
position to deny or suppress the fact,
or of neglect to make and execute
laws for its effective control, will be
more damaging to the farmers, individ-
ually or collectively, than the largest
publicity given by honest investigation
and the employment of the means of
control and extinction.
This thing cannot be hidden under a
bushel. 1t will not be allowed to be
hidden. Legislative or official derelic-
ton, or mistaken lenency, in this mat
ter ofsupreme Importance to health aud
life itself, will be advertised and pub
licly denounced. More than this: Is
it at all probable that the states along
the Vermont border, in with Vermont
finds its largest, If not its sole, market
for its surplus beef and dairy products
and which are employing heroic meas
ures for the stamping out OF tuberculo'
sis, are going to lie supinely down anc

1t Kills Fifteen Cattle.

Fifteen cattle were killed on Wards
VIII arr last evening. They had been sub.
jected to the tuber julin test and condemned.
The result of the inquest was summed up
by large owner of the slaughtered cattle
as follows: Perhaps thirty per cent of one
of my herds has been wiped out of existence
to day. But I'd rather have had the test
made If 1t took every COW l owned, pro-
vided the results were as conclusive az 1
have seen to-day, tn IN to have had the
number of injected animals L have seen to-
day among my stock" The speaker
couldn't bear to see one of his cattle killed,
but pointed out bull to Globe reporter,
with the remark 81 paid $500 for him
when he was only six months old" After
the result of the autopsy had been told him
by his own medical representative, the
cattle owner said; 81 want to go on record
with the statement that the commissioners
ara on the right track, and the state of
Massachusetts has got to back them up.
Every COW | own will be tested just as
quick as it is possible to make the test Do
| think the test is conclusive? Yes, think
from my own experience to-day it is infalli-
BILE. / do not want to talk until every head
of stock own is branded free from tuber.
culosis. Then you can use my name il you
want an interview. / am with the move
ment heart and soul" The commissioners
had no rouble with owners whose cattle
were killed yesterday. This, in conjunc-
ton with the above stateme ats, tells the
story best. I will be of interest to owners
and prospective purchasers of cattle to
know that every head which passes the
tubercuin test will be branded with the
seal OF the cattle commissioners. DR.. Os-
good believes in a seal or capsule to be
affixed to cans and bottles containing milk
from cows that have passed through the
test. This was suggested by farmer and will
probably follow the purging of the state
from tuberCulOuS Cattle. Cattla shiDD adj
into Brighton, Somervile and Watertown
will undergo the test next week, and sys-
tematic work will be begun on Cape Cod
Boston Globe.
