state Fish law Unconstitutional.

At county court at Chelsea yesterday a
decision was made that will be received
with dismay by every sportsman in Ver-
mont.
About year ago Francis A. Eaton OF
Barre was arrested for fishing in ThayeT
brook, which had been posted by the
state fish commissioners under Sec. 456S,
V. s., providing a fine OF $50. Eaton
fought the case, which was tried Tuesday
and Wednesday. file held that the stream
was not properly posted and raised the
point OF the unconstitutionality OF the
law itself. After the evidence had been
su omitted, Judge Thompson ordered a
verdict of acquittsl. lie held that the
statutes under which state waters are
closed against fishing for three years are
unconstitutional in so far as nom boatable
waters are concerned The state hiss no
authority in this respect over small
streams not navigable by boats. As the
state had taken no exceptions, the case
goes no further and the decision seems to
be final. This is the first case that has
been before the courts wherein the point
OF unconstitutionality has been raised.
This decision practically utilities the
value OF the state fish hatchery and the
work OF the commission as the boatabl,
waters OF Vermont are too inconsiderable
to warrant so much outlay.
Darling y Darling represented the State
and J. h. Watson and j. ID. Denison APP

The Modern Graduate.

Illuminating indeed is the entrance
upon ''real life" of the modern grad
uate compared with the prestige at
tending that of his forerunners. By
modern notions his "sheepskin" is a
diploma of disqualification; a certifi-
cate that its pOssessor knows nothing
of what alone is worth knowing-prac-
teal affairs and must begin their ac-
QUESTION by forgetting all that he has
hitherto willingly Cor unwillingly) ac-
quired during four years at college.
The three learned professions, like
the three RS" have lost their old
time distinctiOn-they are only other
ways of getting a living"
Of truth this is brought home to
the graduate by the changed character
of the very Commencement which
ushers Cor "hustles') him out of the
gates of Alma Mater. His part in it
is only minor one at best, an osten-
sible occasion, indeed, for observing
the day, but actually an opportunity
for the elevation of others at his ex-
pense. Commencement is still day
of graduates" but of graduates of
quite another sort-the real graduates,
those old old fellows who now domi-
nate the campus, and hold a feast
called the "alumni dinner'-the ap-
prOpriate climax of the whole affair.
In short, the coming graduate is
almost crowded off what is left to him
of the Commencement stage. "-Har-

All Hail, Hawaii!

The New York SIN Dem. } says:
''The treaty for the annexation of
Hawaii has been signed, and undoubt-
eddy will be ratified by the Senate.
The introduction of the Hawaiian IS
lands into our American political sys-
tenn is therefore assured.
THUS will be accomplished scheme
of annexation which was made con-
spicuous feature of Democratic policy
long ago, and would already have been
carried out if it had not been for the
obstruction of the un-Democratic
Cleveland Administration. Mr.. Cleve-
land, with a perversity and defiance
of Democratic tradition which exceed
ed even the bounds of impudence,
broke through the rule of continuity
in our diplomatic policy, and withdrew
from the Senate treaty for the annex
alton of Hawaii framed by his prede-
cessOr. He withdrew it in order to
bring about the overthrow of the Ha-
waiian republic and to restore to her
barberOus throne a monstrous Queen!
''It was an episode in our history
which would have been famous if
it had not also been ludicrous.
"Truer Americanism now dominates
the White House, and the day approch-
es when with joyful and proud acclaim
we shall welcome Hawaii as an outpost
of American power and civilization in

The ONO CAMPAIGN The political
contest in Ohio which will eliminate
at the November election is now rag
ing. 1t turns almost exclusively upon
the choice of federal Senator. It is
generally understood that in case of
republican success Mr.. Mark Hanna
will be the Senator, and if the demo-
Gratis have the Legislature thew will
elect Mr.. John R. Mclean, proprietor
of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Mr..
Hanna supports the gold standard, Mr..
Mclean is a free-silver advocate of the
most advanced tyre. The free coinage
of silver is to be the issue at the polls.
Mr.. McLean's paper declares that the
democratic candidate for Governor
should be firm believer and a known
advocate of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold of the United
States at the ratio of sixteen to one
without consulting any other nation"
The importance of the Ohio election
is manifest. Ohio is the Presidents
State, and a democratic victory there
would be equivalent to a vote of CEN
sure at home. Itwould also substitute
IN the Senate silver man for a gold
man. The election, therefore, is of
national Importance, and the repubi-
cans cannot conceal their alarm about
the present situation, and it is believed
that silver victory in that great
State would indicate such feeling as
would seriously impair confidence
throughout the whole land and react
upon values.

DECREASE IN THE New CASTLE
COUNTY ASSESSMENT. The New Castle
County Levy Court went over the as
sessment for the rural hundreds. The
total assessment for 1896 was $21 1915,
9S2, and the total for this year is $19,-
S12, 636, making a decrease of SO, 1884,
BAG. 1t is believed that the tax rate
will not be less than So cents on the
800, which is an increase of cents,
and the appropriations to the several
hundreds for internal improvements
will be reduced. For a number of
years the valuations of real estate in
the country have been much higher
than they should have been, and, al
though farm lands were steadily going
down in price, the assessment has re-
manned the same until this year. Prop
erty owners made such a general com
plant about the high assessment that
the Levy Court instructed the assess
ors to make an assessment on the pres
emit market value Of property. This
has caused the decrease.

A Coon WHEAT OUTLOOK. The
comparative estimates of wheat crop
for 1897 in Europe and in this country
show a most remarkable and stricking
balance in favor of the United States.
Indeed, unless all signs fail, we shall
be called upon in the fall to furnish,
in large measure, wheat for the whole
world. The Marx Lane Express. a
reliable crop weekly of London, pre-
sents a most discouraging view of the
wheat crop outlook in Europe. In
England a mediocre yield of twenty
seven to twenty-eight bushels per acre
is all that is looked for; in France the
prospect is that 5000, 900 quarters will
have to be imported to supply the aver
age need; the Prussian and Polish
wheat is promising, and the Russian
reports are equally encouraging; but in
Austria cold rains have ruined the
hopes of the wheatgrowers. On the
other hand, the outlooked in the
United States is most encouraging.
