Windsor County Court.

Court is now in recess, the civil docket
having come to its end. The presiding
Judge having other engagements, IL wa'
thought best to take recess during wnlci
the states attorney might prepare STATE
cases for trial. The date fixed upon wa'
Tuesday, July goth, at when time y
possible one civil case may be tried-thal
OF Smith Bagley, il it Is not settled
There is some talk OF an adjustment OF the
case by settlement though at present u
still stands for trial. A new lot OF jury
men who did not participate in the trial
that was commenced, nor hear any oil Inc
evidence then adduced, will be in attend
ance and as both parties are exceedingly
anxious to have the matter disposed OIL
there may yet be trial OF it at this term.
There are said 10 be IS inmates of the
county Jail, most Of whom want trial, so
when court does resssem bic it will be for
several weeks work.
The case OF ii iwkes Town OF Chester
resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff for
81 ,3Os 49, The plaintiff brought suit TO re-
cover damages for injury he sustained in
consequence OF the falling of bridge over
which he was travelling with load OF
logs. Ii was IN October last the accident
happened The plaintiff was injured to
the extent OF a broken rib and several mi
nor hurts, but all taken together we e SUI
ficient to prevent him from doing any
work since the time of the accident. The
plaintiff is sixJy-six years old and could
not rally as well as he might have done a
score OF years ago. II was shown that the
cause OF the bridge breaking down was
that one OF its three beers, the center
one, was rotten and gave way under the
burden OF the Plaintiffs load OF logs. The
evidence on the part of the town in de-
fence was that this rotten timber was de-
cayed inside where the decay could not be
seen; that the four sides OF the timber
were OF sound appearance. IL was urged
that inasmuch as the true condition OF the
timber could not have been seen, II was
an unavoidable accident and one for which
the defendant town ought not to be held
liable Il was further claimed that the
plaintiff was not hurt so badly as he rep
resented himself to be; that he was suffer-
ing from the nervous strain in conse-
quence OF the tendency of the law suit,
ard tnat when that was over he would be-
gin TO improve. This was the tendency
OF the medical evidence on the part OF the
town. The case was well argued by four
as good lawyers as could be gotten togeth-
err. For the plaintiff appeared Judge
Read OF Bellows Falls and w. L. johnson;
for the town, j. l.. Martin and +. l.. Wa
termsn OF Brattleboro.
The next case that was to have been tried
was also a Chester case-an appeal from
the allowance of the will of the late Chas.
Robbins. Before jury was called all the
parties in interest got together and set
tied the controversy without trial.

Bryan is an ingenious talker, but
hardly an honest one. He gets around
the point that free coinage at l6 to /
would bring a cheap money standard
by little tongue-trick that will hardly
bear analysis. He says that 50 cents
worth of silver would be worth dol
lar because nobody would be foolish
enough to sell it for 80 cents when the
government stood ready to give him a
dollar for it. Now let's study that a
little. The government does not. UNI
der free coinage. give the silver owner
anything for his metal. 1t simply
stamps 4l2 l-2 grains of it zone dol
lar and obliges creditors to accept it
as payment foraone dollar in debt The
silver owner takes his dollar from the
mint and purchases what he can with
it. If Bryan is a true bimetallist, he
believes that the silver dollar thus
brought forth would purchase as much
as the gold dollar. That he never
makes this claim is proof that he does
not think so. If the gold and silver
dollarwere to have different purchas-
ing powers. they could not circulate
together. The cheaper dollar would
drive the dearer out. In this case we
should have, not bimetallism, but
monometallism with deprecated dol
lar for the standard. This is what
BRYAN and most of his followers really
believe we ought to have-a cheaper
money standard. Their arguments all
tend to this direction, but always stop
short of the inevitable conclusion-that
we should have cheap money stand
ard instead of a gold one. Bimetal-
lism by this country alone at ratio of
16 TO is an absolute impossibility, for
the additional demand for silver that
would follow the opening of the minis
to silver could not restore the intrinsic
ratio ofthe metals. Bimetallism is a
pleasant word to coniure by. but wholly
irrelevant to the discussion.

"The greatest pageant that the

Victoria certainly enjoys the love and
veneration OF her people as few mon
archs ever have. One reason for this
may be that her rule has been easy.
She has never placed herself athwart
the desires of the people. Great
Britain is in many respects the most
democratic of governments. Through
her parliament and ministers the peo-
Pile rule. The sovereign is a mere FIG
ure-head, who serves as a magnet to
draw her subjects together. England,
since her experience with America,
has learned the wisdom of home rule
for her colonies. In consequence, they
are generally contented and prosper
ous, a source ofstrength to the empire
While Americas feelings toward the
mother country are not always of the
kindliest, and while we see much in
her policy that is Ieprehensible, it is
nevertheless true that a closer bond OF
sympathy exists between the two
countries of one speech and blood than
between any other two. England is
without doubt the greatest single
power on the planet. Anyone who
doubts this should read carefully the
story of the great events Of last week
in London.

Brookheld, Rochester, West Fairlee, West
Norwich, Norwich, Lebanon, N. H., and,
in fact, almost any place you would desire
to locate for home or profit.
People wishing to sell their farms will
do well to correspond with us. We are
