Orange County Court.

The case of State v. Mortimer W. Brooks
and Eva Nj. Sernton for adultery committed
at West Fairlee in May, 1896, came to sud-
den end Thursday morning as Mrs. Sernton
took the stand and testified that at Brooks
house, in West Fairlee, she did commit
adultery with him year ago as charged in
indictment. Respondent Brooks then re-
tracted his plea OF not guilty and pleaded
guilty. Special States Attorney Watson
entered a nolle proSeQui as to Mrs. Sernton
and the trial ended. This concluded the
jury trials for the term and the jurors were
discharged. Brooks was sentenced to five
years in States Prison. John Hartwell,
who had assaulted Homer d. Camp deputy
sheriff, was brought into court and SEN
fenced to eighteen months in States Prison
for impeding an officer. Ben. B. Walker
was sentenced to pay $500 and costs with
the alternate sentence to the House Of Cor
rection for entering Tilsons store in Ran
dolph last December and stealing money
from his safe. This ended the list OF sem
fences making a sum of nearly forty years
in prison and work house together. Twenty
two divorces were granted. The case of
William O. Clark apt. v. estate of Andrew
s. Ellis, Wallace s. Ellis admir- was heard
Thursday evening, the court rendering
judgment for defendant estate. Friday
morning at eleven o'clock court was adj
journed after twenty-one days of actual ses-
sion. No civil case was fully tried by jury.

The Queens Jubilee.

During the past week the sixty years
of benefcent rule under Queen Victo-
ria has been celebrated, and her name
has called forth expressions of admira-
ton and good will wherever the En-
glish language is spoken. While the
chief center of interest in this royal
jubilee was in London, where the
Queen appeared in person, the whole
civilized world has joined in felicita-
tons and congratulations. Every
where among the millions of mankind
has appeared unanimous sentiment of
enthusiastic regard for the queen and
all mankind has joined in the rejoic-
ings.
Queen Victoria's reign has been the
longest known in English history. 1t
has also been, in many respects, the
most eventful both in relation to the
government of the British Empire, and
also as viewed from the standpoint of
the worlds progress.
1t will be impossible in a newspaper
article to review the political events of
Queen Victoria's reign, or to mention
the reforms and changes that have
come, both to England and America,
since 1887. Among the notable re-
ligious changes which Victoria has seen
since she wore England's crown, are
the result of the Oxford movement
which was beginning just as she as
cended the throne. This left the
Church of England in very different
state from what it was in the Georgian
era. The disintegrating tendencies
were checked; the spirit of liberation
grew, and as result men differed with
less bitterness on religious questions
than they once displayed.
The Queens influence upon society
during her reign has been direct and
very great. The growth toward higher
aims and impulses has been marked.
She has proved herself noble woman,
pure, merciful and faithful to duty, as
sovereign, as wife and as q mother.
In no civilized world, outside of
England, is the feeling for this gracious
sovereign more kindly than it is in the
United States, and her sons and daugh-
tiers throughout this broad land Joined
during the past week in sounding her
praises, in celebrating the sixtieth an
niversary of her accession to the throne,
and in prayers that the blessings of the
Almighty might rest on her now and
foreyermore.

The Mortified Ne,os long ago
adopted the tactics of cheap John
lawyer, and when it has no case is al
ways ready to abuse any one who diff
fers with it. Three weeks ago the
News editorially championed the soiled
doves who were arrested in Montpelier,
and brought into city court on a charge
of keeping a house of ill-fame, and de-
manded an investigation of the con-
duct of the sheriff of Washington
county and one of his deputies, because
of evidence they gave in city court
when these women were brought to
trial. For this the WATCHMAN called
the Neps to account, showed conclu-
sively that the officers in question had
done their duty and no more, and urged
the Ne,os to start its proposed investi-
cation of the conduct of Sheriff Collins
and Deputy Sheriff Graves. The only
reply the NeWs makes to this is that
the WATCHMAN is like lightning bug,
and has it's headlight on behind. The
rays of the WATCHMAN's headlight,
whether it is buckled on behind or in
front, are not strong enough to pierce
to the depths of the hole into which the
editor of the Ne,os has crawled because
of his uncalled for slurs upon alert and
incorruptible county officials. The
people of Washington county are still
patiently waiting for the Ne,cs to start
that investigation"

LATE advices would indicate that the
Japanese government is very much in
earnest in its protest against the an
nexation of Hawaii by the United
States. Whether or not the Japs in
tend to back up this protest even to the
verge of war, inasmuch as it has always
been the policy of the American gov
eminent to deal justly with friendly
nation, it would seem that Japan is at
least in position to demand and gain
hearing. While the chances of war
between the United States and Japan
over this matter are slight, it would
seem that a pacific settlement by ar
bitration would be much better than
to be involved in even strained diplo-
matte relations with this people across
the Pacific,

THE fertility of editorial brains in
the boundless West is aptly illustrated
by paragraph that appeared last week
in the Gazette, published at Emporia,
Kansas. In speaking of the prosperity
that has already come TO Kansas farm
ers, this editor says: "The prosperity
wave has come. 1t is on the pigs which
are sousing in it; it caresses the tawny
coat of the wheat, while the COW and
the bull and the old red steer are knee
deep in the big wave. 1t is surging all
over the farm. Down in the orchard
where the cut worms have not damned
things up, the wave is tapping up the
trunks of the trees, and the raspberries
and strawberries and blackberries and
gooseberries have to be skinned of
the crest of the wave every morning
with a road scraper. Pretty soon the
peaches and the cherries will be on the
wave and then it will take tin roof tc
gather them in" With Kansas thus
submerged, the prosperity wave ough
to spread and cover this whole republic
before the year of 1897 shall end.

EX-SENATOR CoRBETT'S claim TO the
vacant Oregon seat in the Senate Will
not be acted upon until the regular
session, but the committee on privi-
leges and elections has had printed for
the convenience of Senators, the elab-

he expected the case to be settled at

The defeat of Governor Bushnell
by Mark Hanna at the Ohio State Re-

Republican politics of that state. Ohio

islature is to elect United States Sen
ator for the full term of six years, as o
successor to John Sherman. The silver

elect to the Senate John r. Mclean

tors of note to advocate deprecated

BUT little credence is given to the
"official information sent out from
the Court of Madrid that Spain intends
to put in operation political reforms in
reference to Cuba. Whatever promise
of reform the Canovas ministry may
make, the Cubans will pay to it not the
slightest attention. Through their au-
thorized leaders the Cubans have re-
peatedly informed the Spanish govern
ment that they will accept no reforms
offered. They are fighting for indie
pendence, not for home rule, and mas
much as their chances to ultimately
gain their desired ends are growing
brighter as the days and months go by,
they are more than likely to stand by
their original proposition. Under these
circumstances it would seem an i'm
pertinence on the part of the United
States to attempt in any way to in
huence the Cubans to accept Spain's
proposition.

subject on which he is thoroughly
posted-Ohio politics. He said: "The

nonsense. We are thoroughly united
and harmonious, and will win in Ohio
this year by heavy majority. There
is no sort of doubt about it, and away

1T is said that Hon. George F. Ed

ing an arbitration treaty with Great
Britain to take the place of the one
which was rejected by the senate DUR

and will be practicable. England APP

such treaty, and while it might not,

England and America would not enter

differences without resorting to the
