HOENIX BRATTLEBORO FRIDAY, AUGUST II, 1900.
The Late Lord Chl,rJusrlcs OF England.

The Late Lord ChiefJustIce OF England.
Baron Russell of Killowen, lord chief
Justice of England, who died Friday, leaves
a record as one of the most honored and
distinguished of English jurists. He was
the only Roman Catholic who ever held
the Office of chief justice of England. He
was born in County Down, Ulster, Ireland,
in 1888 He was not conspicuous as a
scholar when in college at Trinity, Dub
lin, and his first years of law practice in
Ulster and Belfast brought him no fame.
He went to London in 1856 and slowly
but surely advanced in his profession until
he was acknowledged to be the leading
advocate of Great Britain. BY sheer force
Of ability he won his way step by step to
the lord CHARACTERISTIC, was made peer
by the Queen, and advanced to the highes.
judicial position in England. It is said
that he gave up a law practice Of $4,000
a year to take place on the bench.
Perhaps no other lawyer has won such
an enormous individual prestige from
single case as accrued to Sir Charles at the
close Of the Parnel tIial, which resulted
in the complete discrediting of the charges
brought by the London Times. Here his
extraordinary success in managing trial
was most clearly shown, and his fame as
the most skillful cross-examiner at the
English bar was established beyond all
doubt.
He had distinct dislike Of hereditary
distinctions, and insisted upon having his
peerage limited to himself for his own life,
as a protest against an institution that he
honestly hated. While a great stickler for
the dignity Of his profession, and a good
deal of an autocra. on the bench, he took
little stock in formalty when off the bench,
and was noted for his wit and his great
sense of humor.
No decision of his was ever reversed,
and many of them stand out in strong re-
lief as notable additions to the sum of au
thority to which dispensers of justice in
the future must appeal.
His address before the American Bar as
ISOLATION at Saratoga four years ago this
month, on International Law was the
feature Of that occasion His note was one
of friendliness, especially significant at
that time, as it was before events had
drawn England and America into their
present more intimate relations. His his
tory of the development of the principles
of international law was lucid, and his con-
illusions just and logical. at is substan-
italy true" he said, ''that while to earlier
writers is mainly due the formation of
rules relating to the state of war, to the
United States-to its judges, writers and
statesmen-we largely owe the existence
of rules which relate to a state of peace"

A Farmers Reply.

rine Bill was Presented, Snya the
Grout Organs Are Mud Singing.


Editor Of Wdtclmdn and JouHal:-C Ger
tain papers and persons seem to be trying
to create a prejudice among the farmers
of Vermont against Hon. W. p. Dilling-
ham, on account of his voting against a
certain oleomargarine bill in the legisla-
ture of 1884.
The farmers of this state are too bright
and sensible 20 be caught with any such
old and mouldy chat, If the facts Of the
case are known. The accusation is not
only unfair and unjust, but decidedly silly,
for there is no ground for even the sus-
picion of Mr.. Dillingham's being in oppo-
sltion to the farming and dairy interests
of Vermont.
Two bills were introduced in the house
of representatives at that session regulat-
ing oleomargarine matters in the state.
One of these Mr.. Dillingham; voted against
and the other he voted for. Both passed
the house. The senate concurred in the
one Mr. Dillingham; voted for and refused
to pass the one he voted against, all for
good and sufficient reasons, and according
TO the oath of the senators ''to be faithful
and true to the state of Vermont" Mr..
Dillingham; had no responsibility for the
action of the honorable senate. That
body simply sought TO make the best law
at that time. Trying to throw mud at a
patriot statesman and a Christian gentle
man will not work WELL The mud is de-
cidedly too thin, and will only dirty the
hands and faces OF the throwers.
The high and honorable office of United
States senator should be sought only by
fair and honest means. The farmers and
all other true Vermonters want no fraud
or 'foolshing' about it. Give us the
best. WILLIAM CHAPLIN,
Senator in 1884.

Warner WrIsley, who Disappeared

Warner Wrlsley, the Nottingham far
mer, who disappeared July 16 and for
whose alleged murder William and Eliza
beth Odell and Della Colson were arrested
last Wednesday, was found Friday at West
Deerfield where he has been at work since
his disappearance. Wrisley left his home
in Nottingham on the night of July 16
and from then until last Friday his where
abouts we're a mystery. 1t was known by
many people in Nottingham, however,
that there had been trouble between Wris-
ley and Odell, who lives on Wrisley's
farm, and suspicion was aroused by the
conflicting stories told by the Odells and
the Coson girl regarding Wrisley's depart
ure. Accordingly States Attorney Bar
Der took up the matter last Wednesday and
his investigation resulted in the arrests the
same day of the three persons. The hear
ing was to have been held in the early part
of September.
1t seems that Wrisley went from Whit.
ingham to Greenfield, where he stayed
over night at the Elm House, and at that
time signified his intention of going to
West Deerfeld to work. The news that
Wrisley is alive came to Deputy Sheriff
Kdder at Wilmington Friday.
Mr. Wrisley, who is a brother of Luke
Wrisley of West BrattlebOrO, came to this
section from North Dakota several years
ago. He had lived in Nottingham since
last February.

The Only Consistent Policy.
From the Boston Transcript

The Republican party will not evade the
issue of imperialism which Mr.. Bryan
has chosen for exclusive consideration in
his opening speech Its leaders will conf
IDENTIFY welcome his challenge to debate.
The policy of the administration in the
Philippines involves no menace to Repub-
lican institutions. Nor does it mean the
holding of other peoples in the "thck
darkness of perpetual vassalage." The as
sertion of Mr.. Bryan that we dare not edu-
cate the people of the Philippines is alb
surd. "If we are to govern them without
their consent" he says, land give them no
voice in determining the taxes which they
must pay, we dare not educate them, lest
they learn 10 read the Declaration of In
dependence and the constitution of the
United States, and mock us for our in
consistency" The sufficient answer to
this is that We have already begun to edu-
cate them. The Republican policy is the
only one consistent with just regard for
the political welfare Of the Philippines, and
with the treaty obligations of the United
States toward other nations.

Plans for the Fair at Greenfield.

Already the prospects for the Greenfield
fair seem very bright when the managers
tell us they have engaged the famous herds
of Jerseys and swine from the Hood farm
and the herd of Jerseys from the Briarclifi
farms on the Hudson. Each claims to own
the finest animals of the breed in the
world and it will be very instructive to
compare the two exhibits, each of which is
to be in large and snowy tent upon the
grounds. They have also engaged the
herds of Ayrshires of L. S. Drew of Bur
liDgton, VT, and G. NJ. Winslow IL Son of
Brandon, Vt, than which no herds of Ayr
shires exceed, in excellence and beauty.
The people of Greenfield are already look
ing forward in the expectation of getting
up coaching parade which shall be up TO
the standard usually furnished in that
town.

The war in South Africa has been in
progress 10 months. The death column
contains the names of 479 officers and
SOOS enlisted men, or total of S4S7. To
this grim total must be added 221S for the
missing and prisoners, deducting the pris-
oners who were released after the fall of
Pretoria. Then there is a fearfully large
addition for the soldiers sent home as in
valids, who numbered at the date of the
return no fewer than 20, 655 men. The
drain upon the strength of the British
army through these various losses amount
ed to "a 800 men. 1t was further estimat-

numbered 1900 in round figures. This
addition bringsthe aggregate of the losses

w. a. Davenport May Re Candidate for

congress-
The Greenfield correspondent of the
Springfield Republican has this interesting
story of a native of Wilmington, who lived
in West Brattleboro and attended the acad.
envy there before he began the study of
law:
The friends of w. A. Davenport are
suggesting his name in a quiet way for the
Democratic nomination for Congress. 1t
is believed here that Mr.. Davenport would
poll heavy vote in this vicinity. Coming
from the small end of the district, he
would have elements of weakness and 9th
er elements of strength in his candidacy
which candidates from other sections
would not have. The record of Mr.. Dav-
export in the legislature is an especially
good one. He introduced the two-cent
fare bill and succeeded in carrying it
through the house, but it was killed in
the senate. His amendment to the Fitch
burg lease providing for a two-cent fare on
that division was killed on re considera-
ton. Mr. Davenport also succeeded in
having bill passed providing for the
amendment of the naturalization laws Of
the state. Under the old law the court
would only hear naturalization on stated
days, and a man who was legally entitled
to be naturalized might be robbed of his
vote, because the dates upon which the
courts would hear the motion did not come
until after election. Mr.. Davenport in
troduced bill, which has since become A
law, that naturalization cases shall be
heard by the courts at any time He has
been called the speaking member of the
Franklin delegation, and occupied con-
spicuous place in the debates during the
last legislative term. When the matter Of
becoming a candidate is mentioned to Mr..
Davenport, however, he is pretty certain
to remark that the nomination has no at
fractions for him.
