The Messages.


GERS is among the things of the
past. Vermont is loft with the
old and on with the new" There
is little in the messages that is
new. They show a careful and
studied treatment of the practi-
cal things with the views of the
incoming and outgoing COVER
nor as each sees the situation
from his standpoint. There
seems to be reason for hope that
whatever is done with the Nor
NAL Schools the people will find
out something about how the
State stands in respect to them.
The eyes of the people will also
be opened with reference to the
subject of prison reform. Allwill
be better satisfied with the eff
cheney and humanity of the asy-
lum. We hope also that the leg
islature will divorce the State
from some notions that have
been tenaciously hung to SEEM
ingly because and only because
they have been adopted. Two
things have been said in the
messages that it would have
been more perilous than would
have been the commission of
high treason to have said
a short time since. 1t is now
daringly suggested that the pres
ent abominable system of taxa
ton is not faultless. The truth
is the time has come when the
people are waking up with refer
ence to certain conditions and it
is time that motives of policy
yield to a popular sentiment
which cannot be forever re-
strained. Two other daring dec
1arations in the messages are
that ''it must be admitted that
some friends of temperance be-
lieve that unless the law can be
better enforced in some of the
larger towns that it ought to be
modified or displaced by one that
can be enforced" and the other
calls for "a better enforcement OF
this law or public expectation
will be disappointed"
1t is a good indication to see
all the subjects, which have been
half hidden by shadows of men
who desire to be in the current,
Or who have more or less cranky
theories, coming to the top so
that the people can see how they
are to be disposed of and judge
as to whether they are being
treated as they ought to be.
Whether the people will deal more
wisely with State matters than
they have been dealt with in the
past or not may be a question
but that they will have more tc
do with them than they have hac
is quite certain from present indi
cations.

Her Appeal.

A capital story is told of the way in
which a New England senator was once
aroused to make a stirring speech AT
the outset of his political career he had
been known as n remarkably clever
orator of the stump" and later on, in
the lower house of the legislature, he
made 4 brilliant name for himself. But
when he became a senator he ceased
talking, much to the regret of his
friends and admirers. Finally the
liquor law came up for discussion, and
the wife of friend of the senator, who
was much interested in its passage, was
greatly disappointed to see that the
brilliant man had no apparent intention
of joining in the discussion. She sat
down and wrote few words on sheet
of paper, which she inclosed IN an en-
velope and sent by messenger to the
senator. do speak! Even Balaam's

ator to his feet, and elected one of the
best speeches he ever made.-Youth's

lIL-SONTINUED.
With the death of John Bynum the
feud smoldered for several years. His
only brother, Jed, who was absent at
the time of the lynching, moved to
Texas a short time afterwards, and
there were left only the widow and her
four children on the small farm in the
cove. 1t is to be supposed that the
woman, who was a Bynum by blood as
well as by marriage, did not fail to
teach her children the catechism of
vengeance; but, however this may be,
hostilities were renewed as soon as the
boys were old enough to follow in the
footsteps of their elders.
Col. Latimer, the squire's son and
heir, inherited little of the peace-loving
temper of his father. The first time he
found his fences thrown down and the
cattle in his fields, he armed himself
with a heavy riding whip and went
about nursing his wrath till his oppor-
tunity should arrive. Meeting jeff
Bynum in the street of Tregarthen, the
indignant colonel proceeded to mete
out to the younger man such measure
Of chastisement as he thought the case
demanded, paying for his satisfaction
a few days later with broken arm,
shattered by the bullet of an ambushed
enemy. This incident was conducive
to another interval of peace, for two
reasons-it taught the colonel that I'M
less he were willing to adopt the I'M
scrupulous tactics of his antagonists he
was likely to lose his life in an unequal
contest; and the Bynums were re-
strained from further immediate ag-
gressions by fear of some such conse-
quences as had overtaken their father.
Col. Latimer was quite as popular in
his way as had been the squire; and
there had been ominous threats of an
other outburst of public indignation
after the breaking of the colonels arm
threats which were loud enough to
cause the elder Bynum to disappear for
{: time, rumor said in Texas.
The fire of enmity, however, was
never suffered to die. There were fit
full bursts of flame from time to time,

THE metric system, the Philadelphia
Ledger says, will not be adopted at
the present session of congress, but
the agitation for it is progressing
6mong the business associations of the
country. Public sentiment in its favor
is growing, and the house committee
on coinage, which has the subject in
charge, is preparing to make an effort
to have suitable bill passed next
winter. Meanwhile it may be we'll for
verybody to become familiar with the
system, if only for the sake of being
able to understand the weights and
measures which are used by the rest Of
the world.

and fresh. fuel was added when the
morning to find itself the headquarters
of the Tregarthen Coal & Iron COM
pany. All of the coal and iron land on
the mountain belonged originally to
the Latimer estate, but the Bynums had
disputed with the colonel the owner
ship to one of the coal veins which
cropped out near the boundary of Nc
Nabb's cove. They were defeated in the
litigation that followed, and the old
feud lost none of it's rancor by the de-
cision of the courts. When its right to
the McNabb vein had been established
the company had endeavored to open it,
but the overhanging stratum of sand
stone proved to be singularly intracta-
able, and the further development of
the vein was postponed until such time
ds the depth of the other workings
would make it less costly to timber the
Nc Nabb tunnel. Opinions varied as
to the cause of the difficulty in the
McNabb. Expert mining engineers
had declared that the sandstone form
ing the roof of the tunnel was as
tenacious as that everything the other
veins, and that there was no apparent
reason why it should require timber
ing; but the indubitable fact remained.
While the work of development was in
progress, the miners frequently found
the labor of week undone in a single
night by n caving of the roof which
filed the tunnel with broken rock.
Ludlow had its own theory about these
mysterious accidents, but he kept it to
himself. 1t was suggested by the smell
of black powder which he detected
one morning when he was examining
the debris that had fallen during the
previous night. 1t struck him as be-
ing curious, because he knew that the
miners were using dynamite; and it led
to a series of casual inquiries among
the dwellers in Harmony Valley near
est to the entrance to McNabb's Cove.
The replies were not entirely conyinc-
ing, because the nocturnal noises heard
by the valley folk might have been
nothing more than the conclusion of
the falling rock; but Ludlow heard
enough to make him believe that when
it became necessary to take coal from
the McNabb vein night-guard at the
tunnel would possibly avert disaster
more efficiently than the most elaborate
system of timbering.
1t was during the progress of the
lawsuit that JEFF Bynum returned to
the farm in McNabb's Cove; and the
rumor which had pointed to Texas as
the objective of his migration was con-
firmcd by his own story of his wander
ings. Not contented, however, with
this tribute to it's veracity, gossip again
busted itself with his affairs, and there
were vague hints of lawless sojourn
in the Lone Star state, coupled with
still more indefinite intimation that his
career in the west had terminated in
open crime.
One other element of discord had
been added by thu passing years to the
Latimer side of the feud, in the person
of the colopers son Henry. The boys

THE supreme court of Indiana has
affirmed the law which makes it o
criminal offense for an officer of q
bank to receive deposits when he
knows the bank to be insolvent. The
failure of the bank within 80 DAYS
after the receipt of such deposits is
prima facie evidence of such knowI.
edge and intent to defraud.
