ISLAND PoxD. VT. NovEMBER 6.

The Fish and Game Commits
sioners in their report recommend
"a short open season for killing
deer in Essex county under prop
err restrictions, and without the
use of dogs, and special provi-
sions for enforcing the law, and
provisions for damage done to
crops by deer" The wisdom of
this recommendation, except the
provision for damages, must be
evident to anybody who knows
the situation of the county. We
have little expectation, however,
that this will be adopted. We
hope. however. that the legisla-
ture will be informed and not
make the laws so as to conform
to the condition of the State gen.
orally, overlooking entirely the
conditions of the county which
are unlike those in the State gen.
orally. Large amount OF dam
age is being done to crops here,
however lightlyit may be looked
upon in other parts of the State.
The suggestion thatprovision be
made for the payment of those
damages will undoubtedly be
met by the objection that a large
amount of damage not imputa,
BILE to deer will be claimed, and
thus the door will be opened fol-
fraudulent claims. Concerning
this we make no suggestion
There are two sides to that ques
ton. But concerning the neces
sity and justice of an open sea
son no man who knows the stu
alton can have serious doubts.

We have just received copy of
the report of the Commissioners
of Fisheries and Game, and are
much interested in it. 1t is not
in one particular highly compli-
mentary to Essex county, but IN
that respect it is just, except 1T
says in reference 20 the matter of
protecting deer in the county
that 1.-THE citizens of Essex county
would not assist the Commis-
sioners, etc, instead of saying
Citizens" or "some citizens
would not. 1t is true that the
people of Essex county did feel
that the rest of the State did not
understand its peculiar situation
with reference to its exposure to
hunters from New Hampshire
and Canada, and that the legis-
lature did not deal justly by the
county. 1t is not exactly correct,
however, to say that the citizens
of Essex county would not up
hold a statute law because OF
any such reason as is suggested.
There are citizens in all counties
to which that remark might ap-
ply, but it has no application to
the citizens of this county gener-
ally.
/ The report of the Commission
ers is peculiar in some respects
for it tells the people in detail
just what has been done with
the public money as though they
had a right to know. 1t tells
them in plain terms what they
are getting for their money, just
as though they were interested
in that also. 1t tells them in
equally plain terms what the
prospect and probable results OF
: the enterprise will be. 1t even
condescends to answer the much
! condemned question in thesefash-
ionable times, "Does it pay?' A
careful statement of it's cost, its
: running expenses and its results
e ought to satisfy anybody. That
to abandon it now or withhold

VICTORY!
MCKINLEY & HOBART!
Sound Money, Protection
and Prosperity.
and Prosperity.

The republicans achieved a great vic.
tory last Tuesday, not only electing Nc
Kinley and Hobart, aud keeping up its
present strength in the House, but have
gained control of the Senate. The gen.
eral details of the election are given else
where. 1t will be seen that Vermont has
kept closely up to its big record of Sep
TENDER, also Maine. New Hampshire
falls into line with bigger majority than
ever before, and in the neghborins county
of Coos all the county officers are repub-
licans, and the town OF Stratford sends a
republican to the General Assembly. In
Massachusetts the republicans make phe-
nomenal gains, especially in the cities.
Connecticut, usually democratic state
in presidential elections is hand in hand
with Vermont this year. The Middle
States and the Central West are also in
line with New England. Better than all
the solid South has been broken. I he re-
publicans have Kentucky, West Virginia
and Maryland, and perhaps Others. OF
course the returns are necessarily incom-
plete, but the only thing in doubt is the
exact size of the majority. The cause OF
free silver as an issue in American politics
is for the present at any rate, dead, and
the policy of the maintenance of the gold
standard as advocated by the republi,
cans is triumphant, achieved by the aid
of patriotic democrats who placed the
country's honor above party. All honor
to them. One of the hottest and most
exciting campaigns in the history of the
country is over, and its results will be
far reaching. Confidence will take the
place of distrust, prosperity the place O
panic, and business will revive.

We notice that there probably
will be 600 bills introduced in
the present legislature. This is
stated as showing the immense
amount of work that is being
done. Ofcourse nobody can tell
until thelegislature adjourns and
the wheat is separated from the
chaff what and how much is be-
ing done. An indiscriminate
shower of hundreds of bills is
likely unless great care is taken
to produce results very undesir-
able. To devote the time of the
legislature to the consideration
of a large number of purposeless
and inconsiderate bills is a great
misfortune to the State. I'M
provements can be made. All
laws can be perfected in their de-
tails, better adapted to varying
conditions, and made more effect
i've by the light of experience. So
that in order to have effective
legislation, what the provisions
of law now are, and how they
can be improved by amendment
or substitution, should be care
fully and intelligently considered
before bills are introduced. The
legislature is no place for the ex-
hibition of individual ideas, but
every bill should be directed with
reference to the theory and effici-
ency of the law as it now is and
as it may be made by some pro-
posed amendment. When a the
DRY of legislation is adopted let
it have fair trial. Theless med
ding with legislati the better,
unless some apparent mistake
has been made. To adopt a sys-
tenn and then Immediately begin
by obstructing and embarrassing
its execution and constantly war
ring with itgives no opportunity
to fairly test it's merits. What a
blessing it would be to the State
if the whole people, both friends
and foes of the prohibitory law,
should desire and take hold OF
its execution as they pretend to
want to! In two years time the
law would be damned or vindi-
Gated as it ought to be. Hypoc-
risy in reference to and warning
with and obstructlng the execu-
ton of laws does more to destroy
their efficiency than all things
else combined. When all persons
who are opposed to the provi-
sions of a law are constantly op-
posing and conspiring against
its execution, and getting ready
to destroy it at the next session
of the Legislature they destroy
the provisions of the best legis.
lation that ever was had. When
a system of statutel laws becomes
fixed, its provisions explained
and made to be understood BY
the people by repeated decisions
OF the supreme court, to disturb
it by ignorant proposals OF
amendment almost always Gre
ates uncertainty and confusion.
A man may think that he is
making something certain by
amendment while he is breeding
a nest of lawsuits which grow
out of the uncertainty or ambi-
guilty OF his own work. So we
say the mere fact that the legis.
lature is in a congested condition
by reason of a large number OF
bills with which it is stuffed has.
tily and without proper consid,
Grafton does not of itself indicate
that great good is being done tc

sense. He would say, in fact, that it
would be a good thing If all the hats
were voluntarily removed. Undoubted-
ly the big theater hats are nuisance.
It Is difficult to successfully dictate
what a lady shall do In this matter, but
he hoped that the day Is not far dis
tant when all ladies will think as he
does No rules have been made at the
Columbia, and probably none will be,
referring to the wearing Of hats.
Oliver Morosco said at the Grand OPP
era-house that no rule would be made
there. The Grand Opera-house is fam
lily theater distinctively. and it would be
unwise to ask the ladies to come hat
less or to remove their hats and sit bare
headed during the play. It would be
we'll If the hats were not worn.
Mr.. Walter of the Orpheum said that
nothing had been done at his place OF
amusement concerning the wearing OF
ladies' hats. If the ladies will agree
to sit without their hats during the
performance that would surely be a
good thing, but 1t all rests with the
ladies to do what they desire.
No rule has been made at the Tivoli
nor at the Alcazar, nor is there any i'm
mediate prospect that one will be de-
vised to curtal or in any way Interfere
with the hats ladies may wear in their
precincts. The regulation Of the circum-
ference Of such appendages will de-
pend entirely upon the wearers thereof
The developments of the season which
has opened are sure to be watched at
home and elsewhere with interest, for
the conditions are reversed, and the
wearing Of big theater hats less con-
Germs the ladies than it does down
trodden man, who can dodge a runaway
trolley car easier than he can keep bob
bing around to catch the view shut of

There is a little story that drawing

generally as an encore to the French
version Of Eve and NJ. lie Serpent. 1t is
a converse ton held in the pit of a Lon
don theater about widespreading hat

annuendoes, threats, pass unnoticed, but
finally after a sharp battle, the struct-

tablished all through shrewd remark
as to how much handsomer the lady

remark to the neat little notice on the
