The cabinet today discussed various

States. Senior Moret read a dispatch
from Gen. Blanco containing unfavor-
able news with regard to the attitude
of the Cuban rebels. 1t seems that

the discussion of and voted In favor of
the recognition of Cuban independence.
the rebels abandoned their intention
of yielding to Spain in return for a
broader measure of autonomy. and

News of fresh encounters in the pro-

The fantastic stories published In the
American papers have ELECTED much
ridicule in Spain. One of them nc-

Fish Law Constitutional.

Thursday the supreme court judges
rendered decision in the case OF
State VS.. William Theriault which
will be of interest to fishermen all
over the state. To test the constitu-
tionality of section 4,56S OF the Ver-
mont statutes, which specifics that the
fish and game commissioners have the
right to stock brook and prohibit
fishing therein for period OF three
years, the suit was brought.
A question being raised as to the
constitutionality of the law, William
Theriault, then a student in the office
OF Dillingham;, Huse & Howland, bu:
now a private at Chickamauga, fished
in brook which mad been stocked
and posted by the state fish and game
commissioners, and was taken into
city court, where the law was decided
to be valid. The case was then taken
to the supreme court and the decis-
ion rendered sustains the decision of
the lower court, and orders the cause
The court holds that it was not the
taking Of private property for public
use without compensation, but that
it was the constitutional exercise of a
public right to prevent the destruc-
ton of common property.
Judge Thompson dissented from
this decision.

You're off. Bro. Hays. We do not
believe in faith cure. laying on of
hands or anything of that sort. We
have never patronized any but regu-
lar physicians of the established
schools. But we do not look with IA
vor on attempts mt legislation calcu-
lated to make other people accept our
medical faith, more than we would our
religious or political faith. The bill
that failed at the last session might
have had that effect. 1t locked the
door to admission to the practice of
medicine in this state and placed the
key in the hands of those whose inter-
ests were to limit the number and es-
pecially the kind of practitioners in
the state. So far as this might operate
to keep out of practice those not quail
flied, it had our sympathy, but it was
more potential than that. There is,
as everyone knows, much rivalry and
jealousy between the so-called
"schools" of physicians. Each new
school that has arisen has had to fight
its way against bitter opposition from
those already entrenched in power
and favor. 1t is quite possible that
new schools may arise in the future
that will be worthy of trial Their
practitioners will be called '.quacksm
at first, the same as some eminent
physicians have been in the past. If
any such do arise it would be well to
be in position to take advantage of
them. The bill in question appeared
to be more of bar to anything of this
sort than a protection for the people
against knaves. Anyone who aspires
to practice medicine has to 90 through
a period of trial in the community that
usually determines his fitness. This
weeding-out process quickly disposes
of the pretenders. There is no evil
dence that this state is going to phys
ical decay because of the ravages of !
"quack" doctors.

is doubtless true that banking concerns
have managed to secure much of the

Admiral Dewey, in his relations with
the hostile Spaniards, the treacherous
natives and the meddlesomc Germans,
is proving to be no less a diplomat
than naval genius of the very high
est order. He is likely to emerge from
this war the one great hero. The San
tiago campaign. while eminently sue
cessful, has not brought to the front
any leader to compare with Dewey.
Only the expected has happened down
there. The Manila victory was so
cleverly conceived, so daringly and
successfully executed, and is so likely
to open unthought of possibilities that
its hero will forever live in the MEM

action was taken to secure better re-
Enumeration from the state for publish

decides to pay fairly for this service it
will probably have to find some other
agency than the newspapers to inform

morning, the party took train for Lake
George, through which most delight
full trip was made. supplemented by a
sail on Lake Champlain as far as
Westport. At the neat and tidy Inn at
that place the excursionists stopped
over night. In the evening, members
of the party furnished nice literary
entertainment. On the boat to Bur-
lington next morning Speaker Reed
had the very great honor of brushing
against royalty as personified by rep
resentatives of the press from the state
that so disappointed his expectations
once upon time. Most of the route
was new to a majority of the pilgrims
and it proved a happy occasion
throughout. The party was limited to
members of the craft. their families
and immediate friends, and conse-
was less formal, but none the
less enjoyable.

The decision rendered by the SUI
preme Court, Judge Thompson dis
sentine. upholding the constitutional
j ity of the fish law as it relates to
waters posted by the state, has spe-
cial interest to those who CHANGED a
different outcome and fished to what
is likely to be their sorrow. Public
opinion, though divided, seems to be
largely favorable to Judge Thompson's
position. When mans right to fish
in waters on his own land is taken
away from him without his consent
and without compensation. it almost
seems as if the individual has no
rights that the state is bound to re-
spect. However, Judge Thompson
comes in for censure for the course he
took. Instead ofletting the first case that
came before him 90 to the full bench
for final decision, he declared the law
unconstitutional on his own response
bility and discharged the respondent.
This settled nothing except his own
position. 1t led people to the belief
that the law was insecure and en-
couraged many to violate it. Few
posted brooks there are that have not
been skinned since the decision of
last year at Chelsea. Ii was incvita-
BILE that sooner or later the law must
be passed on by the whole bench and
it seems Judge Thompson had no rca-
son to believe that his opinion was
shared by his associates. Had the
final decision been rendered conclu-
sively last year as it ought to have
been, a great deal of trouble and in
jury to the fishing interests would
have been saved.
