Warning Factions In Kentucky's State
HOuae,

The Republicans in the Kentucky house
at Frankfort, Wednesday, attempted TO
break the senatorial deadlock by unseating
Kaufman, a Democratic member, in spite
of the fact that the contest in his case had
been withdrawn. The Democratic senate,
in great confusion, at once retaliated by
unseating two Republican senators, James
and Walton. The scene in the state house
was one of great confusion and threatened
violence, a mob guarding the doors TO pre-
vent James and Walton entering to take
part in the joint session. James managed
to get in, but made no attempt to Jte.
The Republicans refrained from vot' Z for
senator, and succeeded in breaking the
quorum.

the laymans point of view it would seem
that the provision of the Vermont consti-
tuition here in question was put into that
instrument for a definite purpose; it re-
lated to the waters Of the state as they
were and consisting as they do of many
small ponds and lakes, and of small rivers
and other streams, none of them naviga-
BILE in the English common law sense
These, 1t would appear, must have been in
the minds of the fathers as "boatable'
waters in the sense suggested by Judge
Thompson. The right to their use and
enjoyment has been counted as free as the
air or the sunshine, and that these waters
should become subject to private control to
any general extent is repugnant to the pop
ular sense of right and to the traditions of
more than century. Over these waters
the state has always claimed control by its
action, through many legislatures, in pro-
hibiting fishing in different ponds and
lakes for term of years, and in stock
ing these waters with fish at the public ex-
pense From the earliest times this right
vi iO6uaV'Oi h"o OOVh itCOSuiHou anu eN-
ercised.
We believe, however, that the effect of
the decision will be less sweeping than
Judge Thompson takes for granted. Study
of the opinion will show that it was the
intention of the court to define the law
with great care, and the way is left open
for broad and just Interpretation, by
court and jury, in any given case that may
arise, in determining what are "boatab!e'
waters, and for the protection of both pri-
vate and public rights in their use and en-
iOyment
