ahc Kansas supreme court declares
the search and seizure section of
prohibitory law of 1889 in that state
to be unconstitutional. This section
empowered officers to enter any place
where it was thought liquor was being
sold and make arrest without war
rant. worry much like the Vermont law
that directs officers to search anybody,
even woman, whom they suspect"
to have liquor about them illegally.
The Kansas court takes impregnablc
ground when it holds that arrest with
out a warrant for misdemeanors not
committed in the view of the officer is
violativc of the Fundamental principle

The meetings of the county cohmis
sioncrs in Indiana last week indicate
that the new local option law in that
state regarding liquor selling is to he
a great success. The law applies inc
local option principle by petition IN
stead of ballot and while legalizing
the sale of liquor under general ana
severe restrictions requires the county
commissioners to refuse licenses in
any town or ward of a city where a
majority of the qualified voters peti-
tion the commissioners against IL
censing. When the commissioners
met they found petitions enough be
fore them to close up more than half
the saloons in the state. Every town
in some of the counties presented pc
titions signed by majority OF the vo-
ters against saloons. The liquor dealers
admit that the effect is going to be
the losing of three fourths of the sd
looms in the smaller towns and cities
and are therefore organizing to con-
test the constitutionally of the law at
every point. The effect of the leglsla-
ton will be watched with interest
by students of this most difficult OF
practical problems in local govern
ment. The great merit OF it is its ten
dency to take the saloon out of politics
and elections where its work is confes-
sedly most demoralizing. The doubt
full point, beyond that about local
option itself, is whether petitions are
50 good test of public sentiment as
votes. The first view idea is that they
are not but the Indiana experience
seems TO indicate otherwise.

\ curious publication is being
privately circulated in limited mum
boz of copies at London, entitled My
Mission to the United States by Lord
Sackvilc- West. the British minister
who was summary given his passports
in 1855 for writing in reply to decoy

Cleveland for reelection. The pamph-
let appears 10 have been published

nation at the popularity of Mr.. Bayard

upon American men and American
politics, it accuses Bayari of duplicity

was written to him in pursuance of
that policy. This is all true of course
and very likely the Democratic national

Hon Joseph Battel has a letter IN
the Middlebury Register openly advoca-
ting free coinage of silver and arguing
that the Republican party must adopt
this policy or be beaten at the next
election. The practical situation. in
his view. is that there are ID states
west of the Mississippi casting 81
electoral votes, all normally Republi
can and all necessary TO Republican
success, that will not support any tick
ct opposed to free coinage Besides
south that must be counted friendly
! to silver and the two together make
II more than majority of the cleo
toral college. The y votes from
Illinois. Indiana and Michigan he
counts doubtful on this issue. and he
gives 10 the anti silver column only lG3
votes from New England, the Middle
States and Ohio and Wisconsin in the
west. and of these he figures IS Repub
Z
not believe there is any possible COM
bination by which the Republicans
can win on the gold standard side Of
the question but that it would result
in the certain loss of from l. to II
Republican states. which means the
absolute inability of the party to ever
Al. a o.,
or be able to formulate and carry out
any policy of national Significance,
and he warns the Republicans of this
state that they cannot speak too
publicly or too strongly against . Mr..
Cleveland's single gold standard. or
international bimetalism, which is
practically the same thing He de
cares:
Nine tenths, at least. of the Repub
lican voters do not believe in regulat
ing our affairs, and especially our
finances for the benefit of other
nations. In this respect they do not
agree with Mr.. Cleveland. They be
lievc most thoroughly in the ability of
the American nation to take care of
its own interests independently IN
every direction. They believe in the
Importance of plenty of money.
Mr.. Battell's view is somewhat ex-
aggerated, but there is good deal of
truth in what he says and the next
presidential campaign is liable TO take
1 direction which few have figured on.
He is right in believing. providing

The committee on legal reform, con
sisting of G. NJ Wilds, joel c. Baker
and l.. M. Read, submitted an impor
tant report to the Bar Association al
Montpclicr this week, providing for
the adoption. substantially, of the
Field code, like that in operation in
Massachusetts,, for practise in our
courts. 1t does away with most OF
the Common Law, and aims to prevent
the throwing of cases out of court
on technicalities. On motion of Mr.
Martin the report was ordered to be
printed and circulated among members
of the Association, to be brought up
for action at the January term of the
supreme court
The reform if adopted will be a far
reaching one, in consonance with the
progress of civilization, relieving law
practise from iron clamps that were plac
ed back in days of barbarism and have
been too long tolerated in the natural
subscrvience of lawyers to ''prcce-
dents.
The subject matter of the report
is of course one that cannot adequately
dealt with here. 1t recommends three
divisions for personal action: LIST
those of contract, including assumpsit,
covenant and debt except those that
bear the penalties of action of tort
I'd actions of tort, trespass,
trcspass on the ease, trover,
and all actions for penal ties; Sd ac
tion for rcplevins II also recommends
that in declarations no avermcnt need
be made which the law does not re
qure to be framed. that the facts
upon which action is based shall be
stated without unnecessary verbiagc,
that any number of breaches may he
assigned for the cause of action and
that any number of counts for differ
ent causes of action belonging to the
same division may be inserted in one
'tttiui utipii' III 'tpbpiihI CdstS tllt
count in contract may be joined with
count in tort. if both arise from the
same cause of action. In AN action on
the declaration may refer
to the contract without setting il out
in hoe verba, or if the contract is lost |
it may be so asserted and then set out |
rs near as may be, and the gist of the /
action shall be the setting out of the /
breaches relied on.
The report recommends the abolition ,
If general demurrers; the question Of .
he sutiiciency of declaration may be
aised by an answer setting forth the
points relied on. Perhaps most i'm
Iortant of all. it recommends that at
my time before final judgment amend
ncnts to the declaration may be
llowed introducing new parties. or
llscontinuing as 10 sOme that the
orm of action may be changed either
n form or substance, or an action of
aw be changed into suit of equity
r vice versa.
Finally. il proposes to relieve the
agal tender right of its oppressivcness
y providing that the dcfcndent may :
n writing offer judgment for any
iven amount of damages and if the
laintitf refuse he must thereafter re
over more than offered or the costs !
hall be taxed against him.

grows DINNER. Platt finally consented
to union ticket but insisted on so
large share of the places that the
Good Government clubs have repudiated
it. The Republicans and state Demo
