The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-05-15

But our juvenile contemporary is un-
fortunate in its illustration only in its
ignorance of Vermont geography. Sub
stitute Baltimore, or any one OF many
other towns, and the violation of the
representative principle is the same in
kind, differing only in degree. The
Ne,ps makes fatal mistake when it
says, with an air of scorn, that it I" has
no use whatever for such towns"
When it sho VS. that there are 12S towns
with q population of less than 1000,
and that their representatives consti-
tute a majority in the lower branch OF
the legislature, it shows that the advo-
Gates of legislative reform, in the mat
ter of reconstituting the house of rep
resentatives on basis of population
instead of by towns, have the largest
possible use for the Baltimores, Somer-
sets, etc. They hold the decision of
this question in their grasp, and they
have powerful allies in some fifty towns
having population between 1000 and
1900 The Ne,os should see in
these facts also how difficult will be the
accomplishment of this reform. These
towns are not likely to yield up their
power without much persuasion, and
without strong conviction that change
will be for their own as well as the
general good. The demagogue will be
to the fore to array the small towns
against the large, to arouse prejudice
and jealousy and fan them into flame.
So the contemporary should address
itself dispassionately to the work of
convincing the small towns that the
proposed change is not only founded
on the basic principle of our govern
ment but will inure to the individual
and the general welfare. In this con-
nection the less said about throwing
in dogs with men, women and children
to make up the account of population in
the little towns, the better for the con-
Citation of the powers that hold the
votes, and the better for the progress of
much-d esired reform.

Convince the Small Towns.

The Burlington Ne,os is following
the WATCHMAN's advice and directing
it's fire in this matter of legislative re-
form against the manner of constitu-
ting the house of representatives.. True,
the powder it is burning has been
burned often before, nevertheless it
blazes away with zeal and impetu-
osity. But the blunderbuss it is using
is likely to kick its owner over if better
discretion is not employed in loading.
The contemporary AYERS that there
is little bit of town which knows
itself as Averill somewhere on the map
of Vermont, we don't know just where,
and we don't care, for we have no use
whatever for it beyond the purpose of
this argument" This little town Of
Averill, the NeDs sets forth at consider
able length, has forty-three inhabitants,
"with dog or two thrown in to make
up the account" and has precisely the
same representation in the legislature
as Burlington with 1900 inhabitants,
and, we assume, $500 dogs thrown in
to make up the account, as by the last
census the city had population OF
some 14,500. All wrong. Averill has
no representation whatever in the legis'
lature, nor has Ferdinand with its
seventy-tbree people. The proud Queen
City is ahead of both Averill and Ferdi'
nand. These are unorganized towns
in the woods of the extreme northeast
ern corner of Essex county. Deer-rais

sion of battle-ships through the canal
will be the great feature of the celebra-
ton. 1t will be a great day for imperial
Germany, and will mark the beginning
of new era for the peoples of the
earth who have dealings with the Faith
erland. What the national defense
and the national progress has demanded
of England and Germany on the lsthmus
of Suez and between the Baltic and the
North seas, the same considerations
exact from the United States at Mica
ragua. England and Germany tolerate
no partnership in their great water
ways, and the United States can admit
of none in Central America.

The Delaware Senatorial Contest.

Inc delaware legislature mas al
journed, leaving in dispute the election
of senator. On this question the
legislature had been deadlocked Fl om
the day the first ballot was taken.
Senator Higgins, who had served
one term with credit to himself and
honor to his state, was a candidate for
reelection. He is republican, and
that party had majority in the legis-
lature. Against Mr.. Higgins, on the
republican side, j. Edward Addicks APP
peared as a candidate. 1t was charged
that he had used money to secure the
election of legislature favorable to his
candidacy. Enough of republicans
voted steadily for him to prevent the
choice of any candidate. Mr.. Higgins
finally withdrew from the contest with
the hope that the republicans might
then concentr ate upon some new man.
"It will be Addicks or nobody" was
the answer of the brazen minority
candidate. AT the last moment there
was concentration of fifteen republic
can votes upon the name of Henry A.
Dupont. The joint assembly consisted
of twenty. nine members, and fifteen
votes would therefore elect Mr. Dupont.
At this juncture card was played
that was designed to defeat an election.
During the session the governor, a re-
publican, had died and the speaker of
the senate, democrat, by virtue of the
Delaware constitution became gov
ernor. When Mr.. Dupont's election
was impending, the governor entered
the senate and resumed the duties of
senator and presiding officer. His
presence made joint assembly of
thirty members, requiring sixteen votes
for majority. Mr.. Dupont received
fifteen votes, whereupon the governor,
acting as speaker of senate, declared
that there was no election, and, the hour
having arrived, adjourned the legisla-
ture sine die. The governors right,
under the state constitution, to re-enter
the legislature in the capacity of sen.
ator was stoutly denied, the republicans
ignored his vote and the speaker of the
assembly declared that Mr. Dupont
having received majority of all the
votes legally cast, was elected senator
for the ensuing term. The governor
will probably appoint c democrat, Mr.
Dupont will maintain his right to be
senator, and the United States senate
will have bitter contest over the case
thus presented. The right of the gov.
ernor to resume the Office of senator and
participate in the proceedings of the
legislature, his right to occupy both Of
fees, will be the question at issue, ano
this will be determined by the constitu
ton of Delaware. The populists hole
the balance of power in the senate.
The one thing in this melancholy
contest from which any satisfaction
can be gathered is the fact that Mr.
Addicks was defeated. The long con
tests in several legislatures over the
election of senator, and certain fea
lures of those contests, have raised
doubts as to the wisdom of the existing
method of cho osing these officials. Di
rect election by the people has man,
supporters, but in change of thi
kind there 10 the chance of exchangin!
one class of evils for another equal,
hurtful.

IT is currently reported that Justice
Jackson votes in favor of the income
tax, and its constitutionality is sus.
tanned. So the democracy must carry
the corpse of the law it enacted around
with it, since the supreme court denies
it the rite of burial, until, by its repeal,
a republican congress relieves the party
OF its CHASTITY appendage.

THE last act in the steal of gov
ernorship was performed at the Ten
nessee capital last week in the inaugu
ration of Peter Turney, the man who
was not elected, The success of this
conspiracy will be like some victories
in war, more disastrous to the victors
than to the vanquished. A fierce light
has been turned upon corrupt election
methods in southern states, and high

up for American interests instead of
Great Britain's or any other nations.

SPEAKING of the inroads made upon
the income tax law by the decision the
supreme court had made, and that
which he hoped will be made, Mr..
Choate, in his recent reargument of
the case, maintained that these in
vasions constitute an invalidation of
the whole act. "Does it follow" he
said, "because the act has been left in
its present mangled and mutilated con-
dition it should be buried? l submit
that it does necessarily follow that that
argument must be answered in the
affirmative. This mangled and mutt
lated corpse has too long remained I'M
buried. In its present condition it
shocks the sensibilities of the entire
people of the United States" This is
the able and brilliant Mr.. Choate' q
trenchant way of stating a great and
palpable truth. This quality blazed out
all along the line of his argument.

THE forensic honors in the recent
contests before the supreme court over
the constitutionality of the income tax,
by common assent, go to Joseph H.
Choate of New York city. He is not
only brilliant advocate but powerful
reasoner. At both hearings his argu-
ments won the ear of the court as we'll
as the large assemblage that was at
tracted to the supreme court chamber
by the fact that he was to speak. The
decision of the court on the reargument
is expected on the twentieth instant.

Justice Jackson, the member of the
court who did not sit on the bench at
the original hearing 1t was clear that
the arguments of counsel were ad-
dressed to him, with reference to con-
vincing his mind, and the eyes of
counsel, in making their most telling
points, dwelt directly upon the judge
whose judgment was to be won. 1t
was trying ordeal for Judge Jackson
in his enfeebled health. No linking
has been gained of the trend of his
views on the great question.

DIR. JOHN w. BYRON died in New
York last week, victim to his devotion
to science. While experimenting with
tubercle bacilli, year ago last winter,
he contracted consumption. He dis
covered his condition after he had been
infected a month. Familiarity with
dangerous bacteria, he said, had posi-
bly, made him careless, and he had
probably imbibed the bacilli from the
air of his laboratory. All efforts to
arrest the progress of the disease were
unavailing. The tubercle bacilli has
become familiar in print, in connection
with the current discussion of tuber-
culosis. DR.. Byron's fate is a striking
confirmation of the lurking dangers of
this disease. "Those who can, kill the
bacilli, however acquired; those who
can not, are killed by them"
