enough in 1t to unlock the evidence of
poaching, especially when to natural
disinclination to become an informer
is added the fear of personal violence
or destruction Of property, which, re-
ports say, is held over the heads OF the
men who may have in their possession
knowledge of violations of the fish and
game laws.
We referred last week to the efficient
service performed by Frank H. Ather-
ton of Waterbury, few years ago, in
suppressing, under circumstances of
peculiar difficulty, illegal fishing in the
waters of Lake Champlain. The fact
that he was not resident of the lake
county, or of any of the town, on or
near the lake, did not impair the eff
cheney of his services. This fact added
to his efficiency, and, in connection
with his exceptionally fine qualifications
for the difficult duty, determined his
choice. Commissioner Titco NIB is prob
dDly ldullhT VIII Iut luClueuto duu Eo-
suits of Mr.. Atherton's campaigns. If
the fish and game commissioners will
find man like Mr.. Atherton, appoint
him warden and give him carte blanche
as to enforcing the laws in Essex
county, the laws relating to fishing as
we'll as hunting, New Hampshire poach-
ers will become imbued with very
wholesome respect for Vermont laws,
and will keep the Connecticut between
themselves and the warden and his
assistants. This manner of dealing
with the violations of law in Essex
county may cost little more money,
but it will do the business, whereas the
commissioners offer of $50 reward,
though posted on every tree and stump
in Essex county, would amount to little
or nothing. The hunters would simply
use the paper for wsdding.

A Special Warden for Essex County.

Horace w. Bailey, for the fish and
game commission, and John w. Tit
comb, for the fish and game league,
offer reward of $50 "for information
of the evidence which will secure the
first conviction for deer-killing in Essex
county, under No. 80 of the laws of
1892, between January l, 1895, and
January 1, 1896" If no other measure
than the foregoing is taken to enforce
the game laws in Essex county, deer
killing over there is likely to go on with
out much restraint. The offer is not
an exceedingly tempting one. Men have
a sort OF Unborn repugnance to becom.
ing informers in offences not recognized
as heinous. The schoolboy or the
gamin in the streets will Withstand the
terrors of the rod rather than "tell on"
his comrades in the escapades of youth.
And then the conditions render the
prospect of the final payment OF the re-
ward somewhat shadowy. There is not

The people must keep their profane
hands off the shekinah of their liber-
ties" SO that instrument was hustled
back into the tabernacle, the doors
slammed upon it, the bolts turned, and
the chronometer set for another ten
years run. The hopes of those who
would like to see the government of the
state republican in all its branches
were deferred till 1900. A similar, but
much less bigoted and arbitrary, course
was pursued by the senate of 1880.
We trust that the solemnizing influ-
ences attending the death of the nine
teenth century will conduce to the
choice of legislature that is willing to
bring the constitution out into the light
for inspection by the people. The one
amendment, above all others, which
should be proposed and carried through
all its stages to final adoption is the
power to propose changes at any regu-
lar session of the legislature, the checks
upon the dnal acceptance of an amend.
ment remaining the same as at the
present time. This power, possessed
by nearly every, if not every, state
and by the United States, has never
been abused and has never resulted
injuriously to the permanence or
quality of the organic law of any state
or of the nation. The existing ten
years limitation is an impeachment of
the intelligence and sobriety of judy
ment of the people of Vermont. 1t is
an unrepublican restraint upon their
freedom of action and check upon
their political and material progress.
Perhaps it is not too early to begin the
agitation of matter of 80 much i'm
portance, but it is a far cry to 1900.
Men may come and men may go before
that time arrives. Better, possibly, to
remember Putnam's caution to the yeo-
men at Bunker Hill and wait till the
eventful year is nearer at hand.

AN esteemed correspondent asks for
light in the matter of the right of the
legislature to put the towns in posses
sion of school property belonging to
the districts. This ground has all been
gone over at various times, and the de-
cision of the supreme court seems to
have cleared up what was unsettled.
In change from the district to the
town system, some inequalities and
hardships must necessarily be endured.

AN echo from the fight for the cleo
ton of superintendent of education,
last fall, comes up from Bennington.
The issue at the annual school meeting
was the retention of Mr.. Davis as su-
perintendent, and the anti-Davis party
carried the day by vote of 300 to 100.
Excitement ran high and the matter
was the leading subject of discussion in
the local newspapers. Mr.. Stillson,
editor of the Banner, is going to Bos-
ton, and Mr.. Davis, report says, may
succeed him. The Banner was the
champion of Mr.. Davis in the fight last
fall for state superintendent and in the
local contest this spring, which, it APP.
pears, is the elimination of a pre-
existing difference of opinion as to the
superintendent. Bennington seems to
have been anxious to settle local dis
turbance by unloading the central
cause upon the state.

If the Burlington NeDs favors mi
nority representation, that is proper
enough, but it exhibits some confusion
of ideas, to put it mildly, when it con-
tends that " one-third of the voters of
Vermont are practically DISTINGUISHED,
so far as our state senate is c)ncerned. I"
A similar Acknowledgement" differ
ing only in some small degree, exists in
the house. In all the executive offices,
from the governorship downward, and
in the congressional delegation, the
" Acknowledgement " is as complete as
in the senate. "The just and equitable
reorganization of that body, which
should give the democrats " the repre-
sentation to which they are entitled"
according to the idea of the NepS,
would involve the adoption of a new
principle in government. Under the
existing principle, that the majority
shall elect, doubling the number of sena-
tors, for which the Ne,oS is contending,
would simply produce senate of sixty
republicans instead of thirty. The
democrats would still be conspicuous
by their absence. Minority representa-
ton, which seems to be the fad of the
NeaoS, is one of the frills reformers and
theorists have been seeking to attach to
the government ordained by the faith
ers, but we believe the fashion has
never been adopted, in this country at
least. The majority principle, pure
and simple, is good enough for this
people. -
HON. HOMER W. VAIL of the board
of agriculture has signiied his faith in
tuberculin by submitting his fine herd
of thoroughbred Jerseys to an examina-
ton. The herd was found to be free
from the disease, as Mr.. Vail believed
and has always thought would be the
result of any test that could be applied.
He has not bought an animal from the
outside for from ten to fifteen years,
but has sold many. He had never de-
tected any symptoms of the existence
of tuberculosis among his cattle, and it
is a great satisfaction to him to have his
personal judgment confirmed by sci
entific test. Here is another herd OF
thoroughbred Jerseys, a " fancy" herd
pampered" herd, which popular
prejudice or ignorance has marked as
the elected victims of tuberculosis, but
which has come through the fires Of
both physical and scientific examina'
ton unscalhed. Mr.. Spear, another
member of the board, was among the
first to have his herd examined. Al

Bishop Whittle has just finished a visi.
tat.on TO the Gloucester parishes. HC
preached In Abingdon church on Sat
urday TO a large and attentive congre-
cation. The word wonderful will only
describe this sermon. and numbers OF
persons said that they had never before
heard the gospel so forcibly presented
and many said. NO one who was in
this church to-day can say that they
have not heard the gospel" While
this sermon delighted the intellects OF
thoughtful men. it was understood by
the small children in the church, and
so we say again, il was wonderful.
The sermons which followed. at the
old Ware church on Sunday and at the
new chapel OF the Holy innocents on
Monday, were again wonderful.
Bishop White Is much beloved in these
parishes and the people crowded TO hear
him and TO speak TO him after the
