Cider and Hush Money.

Last weeks RefOrmer published a
North Bennington affair which came be-
fore the Municipal court recently, and in
doing so, the editor, as usual, got the
matter of hush money and cider sadly
mixed. Commenting upon the affair the
Reformer said: "In the course of the
testimony it crept out that he (the wit.
ness, had already received $50 from the
boys as hush money, and promise of
$40 more to be paid later. In other
words, he had threatened them with
criminal proceedings to extort the $50.
The judge thought this an excellent op-
portunity to administer rebuke to such
methods, ,Uhich seem to be quite common
In practice in this locality, and imposed
a fine of $50 with costs"
Just so. We have heard that "such
methods seem TO be quite common in
practice in this locality" and we are
glad the editor of the Reformer is put
ting his mind upon such matters. We
expect soon to publish the circumstances
of most flagrant attempt at blackmail,
with some remarks and comments of an
instructive character.

DR.. pepew in Evidence.

The Tribune of April 9th, says: In the
the opinion of Chauncey NJ. Depew not
one of the reform bills now pending be-
fore the Legislature at Albany will be
passed. Mr.. Dope v was in Albany on
Wednesday. He remained there for vis-
it on his way from Chicago, where he de-
livered an address at the commencement
exercises of the Chicago University.
During his brief stay in Albany Mr..
Depew, through talks with legislators,
his knowledge of state affairs and other
information brought to him, secured a
clear insight into the tangled up situation
at the state capital and he came to the
conclusion that the reform bills were
dead, as far as this Legislature was cor
cerned. Speaking of the conditions AT
Albany he said yesterday:
Like every other citizen, have taken
deep interest in these bills. On my re-
turn from Chicago l decided to stop off
at Albany and look over the ground. In
the time that was there talked to per-
haps fifty men. The men with whom ]
talked were not the outside element, but
the men whose hands and heads control
and dominate the Legislature. When 1
got on my car that night it was with a
heavy heart. 1 am sorry to say it, and l
wish that l could delude myself into

Mrs. Col. Potter Sues Gen. Buffers
Estate,

The New York Herald of Friday last
had the following which will be of some
local interest to our readers from the
fact that Mrs. Col. Potter is a native of
Bennington:
One of the heaviest suits ever institut-
ed in Berkshire county Mass, was enter
ed this week by attorneys for Mrs. Sarah
McDaniels Potter, of North Adams.
against the estate of the late BENJAMIN
f. butler, the amount involved being
more than 100000
Mrs. Potter held, in March, 1890, $780,
600 worth of real estate mortgages in Illi-
nOls, and between that time and Septem-
Der OF the same year, acting on the ad-
vice of Mr.. Butler, she liquidated these
securities, realizing the full amount i'll
cash. The declaration states that she
was inviegled into investing S07,994 of
this amount in stocks in the San Miguel
Gold Placer Company of Colorado, of
which General Butler was the president.
Shortly after the investment the company
went into insolvency, and when the prop
erty was disposed of it was brought in by
the original company, through Butler.
The entire amount to be recovered is,
with interest, now nearly SIPS, 900. When
the case comes to trial some very promi-
nent men will figure in it as witnesses,
among them being ex-United States
Treasurer Giltillan, Frank D. Sherwin of
Boston, who was secretary of the Gold
Placer Company; T. H. Pierce of Lowell,
whose law Office joined Buffers, and who
acted as agent in the transactions, anG
who is now in Europe, and Judge A. NJ,
Card of New York, formerly Judge of
Probate in Sharon, Conn.
All of these persons have been at times
officers in the defunct Placer company.
Frank L. Wash burn of Boston, one of the
best known attorneys in the State, is
counsel for the administrators of the But
Ter estate. The estate is valued at more
than S5,O00,0O0, and it may be interesting
to note that at the present time suits have
been instituted against the executors in
various sums aggregating more than ST.
100000,

An Exclamation,

Mr.. EDITOR:-In the last issue of the
Reformer the editor, in referring to our
last Graded school meeting, says: "It
was member of the clergy who rose and
said there was serious objection to
Davis occupying the time of the meet.
ing" This was after Notion had been
made and seconded that Prof. Davis have
the floor, upon which motion there was
warm discussion. Judge Darling
claiming that as five or six years had
passed in which Davis could have an
swered to the charges made against him,
and in all that time he had not opened
his mouth in self-defence, the time for
vindication had passed; he was sustain
ed by Judge Mason and the clergy re-
ferred to- but the opposition was so
eager to apply the gag rule, they oyer
reached the mark, and it was soon evil
dent the motion would be carried; then
it was that the clergy referred to again
arose and asked the Moderator eff there
was a motion before the house," on be-
ing answered in the affirmative he then
asked: what is the motion?' The
Moderator repeated it: the Rev. Gentle
man then said: ~ second the notion"
ther in answer to calls of question, the
motion was put and carried by large
majority. Thereupon Prof. Davis took
the floor and vigorously refuted every
charge made against him by rumors and
inuendoes, and defied any one or all of
his opponents to meet him face to face
and even make an attempt to substan-
tiate them.
In answer to Judge Darling Mr.. Davis
said for two or three years after he came
to Bennington he counseled with Judge
Darling as to the vile ISLANDERS that were
from time to time published in the Re-
former, and invariably followed his ad-
vice, which was to pay no attention to
what appeared in the Reformer, for it
was so vile and disreputable a sheet that
no one would believe a word it said to
his Davis detriment.
1t would be interesting reading if all
the Professors speech could be laid be-
fore the people, but lack of space forbids
printing it at this time, suffice it to say,
neither Judge Darling, Judge Mason,
''the member of the clergy referred to,
or any one else had the courage to stand
up and deny a single statement made by
Prof. Davis
Now, no fair minded journalist will
place a man before the public in a false
position although he may have used him
for an evil purpose. This Livingston
does when he leaves "the member of the
clergy" referred to in a position of ad-
herring to the gag rule; how he voted is
immaterial. He certainly seconded the
motion for the right of speech.
Whether or not the Rev. Gentleman's
change of front on that question was the
result of a sudden spasm of Christian
charity or otherwise, Livingston clearly
owes him an apology for placing him in
the light of favoring gag-rule on that oc-
casion, which is not fair and honorable.
His change of front was commendable,
for it goes without saying, it is a proof
of Christian character that when one
finds himself in the wrong to get on the
right as soon as possible. ~

There is more trouble for Cleveland
and the Democracy. The Supreme court,
after quite delay, during which time
there was a good deal of speculation and
uncertainty, has finally decided that a
considerable portion of the income. tax
law is unconstitutional. The decision is
quite an exhaustive document, and it
goes into the powers of the states and
general government relating to direct
taxes. The first conclusion we find is
that the direct taxes cannot be levied by
the National Government, except under
pressure of extraordinary necessity, like
the Rebellion. This cuts off the idea of
recovering the war incOme-tax The
money received as income from rents or
income from real estate without appor-
tionment is invalid. This throws out es-
tates, properties held in common, etc.
The next statement of the court is that
income from state and municipal bonds
cannot be taxed as proposed. Just what
is left of the law, with these exceptions
noted, or how many people will possess
an income above $4,000 is a problem that
will soon have to be figured out. The
Democracy are surely "in the tolls"

NEWS AND NOTES.

The King of Spain has just reached
what has been called "the age of discre-
tion," seven years. 1t is to be hoped
that, with Henry w., he may deem dis
cretion the better part of valor.
That Democratic statesman who sol
emnly delared that 1.-THE carpenter and
bncklayer are not protected" had better
apply himself to the rudiments of politi-
cal econamy. The carpenter aud brick
layer are absolutely protected by the pos
sbility of bringing frame houses and
brick blocks across 5000 miles of bolster

some other belief, but as look at it now
there does not appear to me to be the
slightest chance for single one of the
reform bills to pass. This is not a hap
hazard statement based on superficial
study of the situation, but conclusion
arrived at against my will and based up
on indisputable facts.
perhaps if the Republican strength
that is in favor of the bills was concen-
trated on any one of the measures it
might be passed. l am told, however,
that enough Republican votes can be Sc.
cured by those opposed to these meas
to insure the defeat each one individual
ly. The people are watching the trend
of affairs in Albany and they will decide
who is in the right and who is in the
wrong, and they will act as their own
ideas indicate, without instruction. l
made up my mind long time ago who
was wrong and who was right. am not
now in politics and do not care to come
out and take sides in a factional fight.
Therefore do not care to discuss that
phase of the matter.'
Mr.. Depew when asked what he be-
lieved would be the result should the
Legislature, as he predicted, fail to pass
the reform bills, said he believed that the
voters would not uphold those reponsi-
bic for the defeat of the bills.
The Troy Times comments on the
abOYe as follows: 1.-The declaration of
Mr.. Depew, one of the ablest, purest,
wisest and most influential of Republi-
cans comes at right time as warning
and suggestion to those who stand in
the way of true reform. Whatever their
mOtive-whether they sell out to pOliti-
cal enemies, sacrifice the party welfare
to personal interests, or in any other
manner betray their trust-these men
will be dealt with as they deserve. They
will dig their political graves, and be re-
garded only with contempt and aversion
by those who hOnorably stand by the
party pledges and seek to bring about
the reforms which the people demand"

President cIeveIand's View OF 1t

The president of the United States said
yesterday, in the New York Press: "The
elements or factors of the most approved
outfit for placing a false and scandalous
accusation against man before the pub
lie, appear to be, first, someone with
baseness and motive sufficient to invent
it; second, community with more gul-
libility and love of notoriety than piety,
greedily willing to listen to it and gable
it, and third, a newspaper anxiously will
ing to publish it." Mr.. Cleveland is to
be commended for his clear view of the
way in which outrageous assaults upon
personal character originate in this place.
