Hepburn and Hoffman.

One of toe most satisfactory
meetings held by the Republicans
in Boomers Ferry during the cam
paign was held last Wednesday
evening, Judge Hey burn and
Hon. G. l.. Hoffman were the
speakers. Mr.. Hoffman spoke on
county issues and Mr.. Hepburn, on
national affairs.
The hall was nicely decorated
with flags, flowers and Autographs,
and two suggestive "full dinner
pals hung before the rOstrum.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Henry, county committee
man, who introduced Mr. Hoffman,
Chairman of the central committee
as the presiding officer. Mr.. Heit-
man spoke for three-quarters OF an
hour on county matters, but gave
way to Judge Hepburn before fin
ishing the subj 9ct, introducing the
Judge in most ulogistic words
Mr.. Hepburn made a powerful
address-as he always does. He
tore the mask of hypocrisy from
democracy on the trust question
He explained the intri cacies of the
question, and told how the evils
could be remedied, while fusion or
ators have only walled of the evils
without offering a satisfactory
solution. His treatment of foreign
affairs was statesmanlike and con-
vincing.
We shall not review Mr.. Hey
burns speech. 1t came 80 close
after the populist and silver repub-
lican speakers, and as nearly the
same audience was present at both
meetings, Republicans are content
to submit the merits of the address
es without comment.
The depressed air in Fusion cir
cles after Heitfeld was here, and the
buoyant feeling in Republican cir
cles after MIR. Hepburn and Mr.
Hoffman spoke, sums up the whole
matter.

IT is generally understood among
the politicians that Mr.. Dubois has
formed com bination with Senator
Heitfeld, whereby the Senator is to
assist Mr.. Dubois in his race for the
senate, in return for which Mr.
Dubois is to assist in the reelection
of Senator Heitfeld two years hence.
The fact that the two gentlemen are
cam paigning together and the
further fact that Mr.. Dubois is
throwing boquets at the Senator
seems to confirm this idea. This
fact seems to be we'll understood bv
both Governor Steunenberg and
Judge Hawley, neither of whom
have yet appeared upon the stump.
There are shy number of democrats,
besides MIR. Stennenberg and Mr..
Hawley, who will pause long
time before they will ratify such an
agreement.

JUDGE HEPBURN has a new
way of illustrating his side of the
Consent of the governed" contro-
versy. He says: 1--WE have con-
troled the democratic party for
nearly four years without it's con-
sent and we are going to control it
fvr four years more without it's
consent"

ONE by one the charges of the
Fusion mud battery have been
taken up, exploded and turned to
the favor of the Republican party.
The tack made upon Republican
attorneys is an instance. See COM
parsons from the records elsewhere.
Even the statement that a repub-
lican attorney drew pay from the
county while the county had regu-
lar legal adviser falls with other
Fusion attacks, because it is shown
that the legal adviser was disquali-
fled on account of having been en-
ployed as counsel against the county
previous to his appointment. Oh,
but the Fusionists are hard up for

Hon. G. L. HEITMAN, in his
speech here Wednesday evening,

Hoffman produced copies of the
bills in payment of which the war

by Johnny's own deputy, A. Cook.
The bills were shown 10 be duly

important Change Contemplated.

There is considerable serious talk
among the legal and some other mem
bers of the legislature in the line of
recognizing the present Grand jury
system. The present law contemplates
the sitting OF this body with county
court once year or every other term
and that they sit practically during the
term, whether there is anything to do
or not. The change would allow the
States Attorney to call them together
whenever actually needed, and not keep
them tOgetHer on expense when there is
nothing for them to do. A bill to ac-
complish this end will probably be in
troduced before long.-Montpelier Daily
Journal.
We do not quite agree with the
above. First because, we do not I'm.
derstand that the grand jury practically
sit during the term. The business of
the grand jury is done separate and
independent of the general court
business. There are certain things
which require to be looked after by the
grand jury which would be liable to he
neglected without stated sessions. And
to leave their assembling to the decision
of one man would be likely to practically
abolish the grand jury during certain
administrations.

Speaking of interest on money loaned
recalls the rule for computing it. The
rule itself may he we'll enough. but it is
so complicated, or of such IA nature that
common folks to whom it is the most
important to understand the rule cannot
work it. The old rule that preceded
the one now in use gave the lender in-
terest on his money, and where partial
payments We're made it gave interest to
the payor Tor just the time his payments
were employed. So that the rule was
absolutely just But the present one got
on to the statute books and can't he got
off. AS soon as a proposition is made to
change the rule half dozen or more
different rules will be proposed for sub.

will grow mora aud more egotiStical and

The proposition To reduce the rate OF
interest to five per cent. is doubtless con
ceiyed in the interest of borrowers, and
there may he very rare instances in
which money may he procured at that
rate. This bill would affect men who
borrow money on real estate Secur-
ity as much probably as any class of
men in Vermont; and rs We look at
it 1t would he the most detrimental To
that class. According to our ohserva-
ton those old usurious rates which pre-
vailed so largely in former times have
been abandoned, and money is running
now evenly at rate of six per cent
Now if the rate was reduced 10y law
to five per cent. and the lenders money
taxed at one and a half per cent it
would leave him three and a half per
cent. for his money How long can it
reasonably he supposed that money
would lie at that rate? And where
would farmers owing money on their
farms he if driven to borrow money where
the legal rate was higher? For no man
with sagacity enough to earn money
would let it remain at such low rate.
Especially will this come hard ON the
| borrower if there should be an increased
demand for money growing out Of the
wars and other conditions pointing in
that direction. The folly of reducing
the rate of interest so that it will net
the lender one-haf per cent. less than he
can get by depoSitimg it in a bank where
he will have no trouble in caring for il

Change of Supreme Court.


From l77S until the present time
there have been several changes III the |
number of Judges aud in our supreme
court system. After experimenting Tor
nearly a century. and after much dis
cussion. system like that proposed
was abolished ami the present syS-
tenn substituted. The system like the
one now proposed was abolished
among the other reasons because the
work under it was done 10y two separate
courts (the supreme and the circuiD
and the relations OF the members OF the
two courts were not as advantageous as
they could be made by having onl Y one
court. Besides it was said of that syS-
tenn which is attempted to he reSurected
that iealousieS between the two courts
had crept in and that in transferring
eases from one court to the other they
we've So isolated the one from the other
that a correct history of the case, and
especially its details, did not get to the
Inv court On the other hand it was
suggested that having the Judge who
tried the case below member of the
court which would review his rulings
he would be likely to exert an undue in.
nueucp ON the court. But experience has
shown that that last suggestion is ell
tirelv mfomded. But the main ill.,
ducempnt (as we understand iO to
change TO our present system was that il
would give five or six Judges to the de
termination of law questions instead of
two or three. Now we have court
composed of seven Judges all working
tremendously, and have been for nearly
half century, under system with
which the people have been content I'M
til it is suddenly proposed to restore the
old discarded system for the purpose of
excusing some of the Judges from parti-
chatting in the disposition Of law QueS-
tions. We are to have the same Judges
but only two on three OF them are to act
in the most important and final decisions.
What would be thought OF retaining the
present system and eXcusing three or
four members Of the court from attend
ance upon the supreme court? And
that is practically what this proposed
legislation will do if adopted. But this
is not the worst of it, in the ordinary
course of legislation law is enacted.
1t Goes into effect and the people OBJ
serve It's workings and it grows into fa-
vor or disrepute and if condemned on
complaints against it it is changed or
repealed. Such is not the case in this
instance. Here is law which has
created judiciary system which has
continued to the satisfaction of the
people much longer than any other and
the first thing we hear about it is that
more candidates for position on the
bench have applied than can be accom-
modated, or rather that some leader has
corralled the democratic members and
proposes to hold them firmly together
to accomplish some thing. This is
