Coy. WOOdbury'S Libel Suit.

The OPINION while fully be-
1ieving in the liberty of the press
and the enforcement of law, cam
not feel in sympathy with the
character of the Journalism
adopted by the Rutland Herald.
We refer to the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon our Gov
ernor. The attempt to traduce
the character of one of our most
respected citizens, and to belittle
the state in the opinion of her
sister states, seems to us an un-
called for and desperate attempt
to gain notoriety at the expense
of decency and even patriotism,
while the means employed to
make an apparent substantiation
of the charges are better adapted
to the practices of a ward heeler
than to those of progressive
and fair minded journal.
Gov. Woodbury's splendid mil
itary and unselfish civic record
places him, personally, beyond
the reach of such malignant eX-
pressions, consequently the force
of such an attack falls upon the
dignity of our State, and we are
glad to know that the same spir-
it which impelled him to venture
his life in the defense of the
Union has led him to devote him
self to the defense of our State,
against the sweeping arraign-
ment of its law abiding and pat
riotic citizens coming from any
source.
We believe that the laws of
our State should be enforced, but
if ignorance and prejudice has
led to a construction of them
which will permit the fastening
of a criminal charge upon its
most prominent citizen wholly
innocent of any attempt to trans
gress them, and whose endeavor
to uphold them has ever been ac-
knowledged and conspicuous, is
to make a person responsible for
that which is beyond his knowl-
edge or the possibility of his
knowing, by any means not ex-
traordinary, then we say let us
have the laws amended before
we become by-word and laugh
ing-stock to the people and the
country.
In the $5O,OOO suit brought
against the Rutland Herald for
libel in charging him with being
a rumseller and criminal, the
Governor will have the support
and good wishes of the intelli
gent and law-abiding citizens ot
the entire State, whose apprecia
ton of his distinguished service:

Capt. F. H. Hardee is COM
mander of G troop of the Sd U.
S. Regular Cavalry. This troop
of about fifty men came in Sat-
urdayr about noon, after a three
days march from Fort Ethan
Allen. The first night they put
up shelter tents, and stayed on
the fair ground at Waterbury,
and tethered the horses on the
grounds. A supply wagon car
ried rations for the men, and
forage forage for the horses was
.sentsforward by rail. The Com
pany arrived at Barre about 10 a.

ternoon, then marched five miles

out and camped for the night,
and finished the journey Satur-
day forenoon.
The regular daily practice of
the troop at headquarters, is a
mounted drill of two hours in the
forenoon, and forty-five minutes
dismounted in the afternoon.
The horse are fed from twelve to
sixteen quarts of oats per day,
and are curried three times, and
the stable sergeant is response
BILE for their condition and care.
The horses must be of stand
ard size ana proportion, niust
stand about Is hands high and
weigh nearly half a ton. They
are looking finely and nearly all
of them will lay down at the or
der and remain on the ground as
breastworks while pistol shots
are fired over them. This Caval-
ry drill, about $50 P. m, is very
interesting.
The cavalry private on his first
enlistment, for a period of three
years, gets S15 per month, board,
clothes and medical attendance; a
Corporal $40, Sergeant SIS, First
Sergeant S25. The old term of
enlistment was for five years, but
to obviate frequent desertlons the
term was shortened, and the pr1-
vate gets an increase of one dol
lar per month for each term of
reenlistment. The service is
much easier than formerly, as the
Indians have practically disap-
peared, except within few res
ervations, and fatigue duty is
mostly performed by special ar
tiSanS.
The men are supplied with the
new Craig Jorgenson magazine
riGe, and with Colts double ac-
ton, self-cocking, 3S caliber re-
volver, also with carbine pistol
and sabre. The L Troop OF the
Sd Cavalry was composed of In
dians, but the troops were dis
banded, as no discipline can be
enforced, although some of the
Sioux and Cheyennes can be de-
Deuded on to ride a charge IN the
open.
Capt. Hardee is a son of the
Union General of that name, IS
very popular with his men, and a
rising officer in the service, Dur
ing the Cara rebellion, on the
frontier of Mexico early in 1898,
Troop G was stationed on the
border, and did some tremendous
campaigning, aggregating more
than 1000 miles.
The troop made SO miles in one
day, one of the longest marches
on record for an entire troop, and
in February 1898 covered 14lo
miles, more than fifty miles per
day. The detachment of infan-
try, sixty-fve strong, are COM
manded by Captain and Brevet
Lieut.. Col. Stone, a brave and
veteran officer, and they are a
band of athletes, with well de-
veloped chests and shoulders.
They are armed with the new
Craig Jorgenson magazine rifle,
lately adopted, and are easily
distinguished from the Guards
by their white caps as we'll as by
their manual. For about two
weeks they have drilled in the

new tactics adapted to the new
rifles.
The Guards will be supplied
with these rifles as soon as they
can be manufactured. The Gov
ernlnent has purchased the patent
and is turning them out rapidly
at Springfield.
A school for instruction in the
hospital corps is a new feature of
this years encampment. Every
night at 5 o'clock there are lee
lures on the transportation of the
wounded and sick, bandaging,
hemorrhages and quick aid to the
disabled, and exercises on the
following day on the above men-
toned branches.
Religious services are held by
Chaplain Day assisted by others
at 7.3O every evening before the
tent of the Y. M. c. A.
Band concert at $50.
Tuesday afternoon the first
Battalion First Regiment, Maj.
c. w. Evans, was heard from.
Companies A, C, M and K were
engaged in target practice under
the supervision of Lieut.. Col.
Charles E. Nelson of Derby Line.
They use the Springfield rifle at
distance of 200 yards. There
are four targets each with bulls
eve and with three circles and
scores are made on the basis of
5, 4, 5, ? and 1. Each man fixes
his own sights and two meu fire
at each of the four stands at a
given signal from the bugle.
The skill depends largely on
previous practice and a consider
able number of new men in a
company lowers the average.
WEDNESDAY.
Wednesday forenoon Second
Battalion l. F. c. and H. Major
O. D. Clark practiced at the
range and in the afternoon Third
Battalion, Major ]. H. Mimms,
occupied the range.
Wednesday morning Troop G
of the cavalry took an exercise
ride on trot around the north end
and west side of Lake Morey.
During the afternoon the usuul
drill of trained horses took place.
In the forenoon Wednesday the
First and Third Battalion en-
gagged in Battalion and later in
Regimental drill in extended or
der, forming a skirmish line and
advancing by rushes. In the af-
ternoon the First and Second re-
ceived the same exercise. 1t is
lively work for warm weather.
The cool breezes from Lake
Morey sweep down across the
parade ground and the boys stand
UP to the work handsomely.
Fuller's Battery musters eighty
men, four rifled cannon, 32-1O
calibre and fifty-one horses. AT
one time three-fourths of the men
were employees of the Estey Or
gan Co., and ten or more years
ago there were no less than for
ty-five veterans of the late war,
now there are only four. F>uller's
Battery was organized in 1874 as
an independent battery largely
by the personal efforts of Gov.
Fuller. In 1877 it was reorgan-
lied as a State battery in accor-

During the coming week John j. Ken.

shoe lscings at the mill in the rear OF Sc
East avenue, who is also agent for the

erection ofa large factory on Pleasant
View. The location Is familiarly termed
"the plains" and the location OF Mr..
Kenyon'a mill Is already staked out and
he will have new street presented to the
tyCouncil for acceptance which will
probably be called Kenyon street. The
mill will be 280x50 feet and four stories in
height. Mr.. Kenyon has been in business
here about thirty-two years and now has
four shops under his control.
He employs OYER $50 hands and they
will all be transferred to the new factory

Mr.. Kenyon is one OF the best known
business men III the city, and one reason
for making the change Is that the build
ing he now occupies In the rear OF East
avenue Is to be torn down. His many
friends wish him success in his new ven-
ture.
