Vermont's Mineral Riches.

1t is reported that an inexhaustible
supply Of mica has been discovered on
the farm of Alonzo Esterbrook in Sher-
burne c. l.. Stewart of Rutland
made the discovery, and the deposit is
claimed to be one of the most valuable
in the United States. Il is in such
finds as this that Vermont's future lies.

There have been many advances
during the past century in the practice
of law, calculated to safeguard the
interests of persons accused of crime.
1t used to be the case that accusation
was but a precedent to conviction
almost. The accused had almost no
rights, except that of trial by jury OF
his peers, and that won after a long
and bitter struggle Then came the
grand jury idea, the purpose OF which
was to prevent persons from being put
to the expense and trouble OF trial
without cause. Only recently have
the rules been relaxed so that the
accused is permitted to testify in his
own behalf, and to have counsel
assigned for his defence. # he is too
poor to employ it, the same being paid
for by the state All this is strictly in
line with modern ideas of right and
Justice. There is still one thing re-
naming to be done that it seems 70 us
cannot be done too soon. That is, the
removal of the prohibition against a
husband or wife testifying in behalf of
the other in criminal cause. IL is
altogether unreasonable and works in
justice many times. The only reason
assigned is that the marital relation is
supposed to be 50 strong that either
party to it would pervert truth to aid
the other. But just see the inconsis-
tency! A man may tell his own story
to the jury, his parents and his chill
dren and all his relatives and friends
may testify in his behalf. but his wife
is estopped because she is supposed to
have more interest in securing his
acquittal than all his other relatives or
even the man HIMSELF 1t often hap
\ pens that the husband or wife would
be very important witness, were it
possible to use them. From the very
fact of the family relation, they are
likely to have knowledge unknown to
others. II the object and purpose of
rules governing testimony is to lay the
truth bare, why not let the husband or
wife testify for each other and let the
court and jury weigh their evidence
for what it is worth, as it appears to
them, even as they weigh other evil
dence?

San Francisco elected the leader of
an orchestra as mayor, and Bridge
port. Conn, has an engine stoker as
its first official. Although these are
unusual occurrences, there is nothing
in them to cause alarm. Safe to say,
the voters of these large and progress
sive cities knew what they were about.
The humble employment of these two
men may, under certain conditions.
have been an element OF strength. 1t
is too generally believed that none but
soft-handed aristocrats are fitted to
administer our government. True,
men of wealth and culture are usually
best fitted by education and training
for high positions, but not always.
With their many qualifications, come
some defects. Quite often they are
out of touch and sympathy with. and
in fact densely ignorant of the condi-
tons surrounding. the masses whose
Interests must be safeguarded, if gov
eminent is to do its whole duty. A
man may be uncultured and uncouth
and vet his training may be of the very

It is very unfortunate that a number
of cases of lockjaw, terminating
fatally, have followed vaccination, in
various parts of the country, two, we
believe, occurring in Burlington.
Many persons already entertained a
strong prejudice against vaccination,
due to a variety Of causes, and this
will certainly intensity it to the point
of most strenuous opposition. Cases
have come under the observation of
nearly everyone wherein vaccination
is held responsible for physical ills
that have followed. Some contend
that vaccination has actually done
more harm than smallpox itself.
These aver that more deaths have re-
suited from lockjaw following vacci-
nation and more misery and suffering
have ensued IN other ways than have
been produced from the disease it was
intended to guard against. This may
be true, and yet it Is well, before vac
cinatioD is condemned, TO consider the
good it has done, as well as the evil.
II il has prevented a general epidemic
of smallpox. its value is incalculable.
No doubt it has greatly checked the
disease. Because a very few deaths
have resulted out of the hundreds of
thousands of ihoculations is not sufli-
Gent reason for condemning the only
known preventive of the greatest
scourge known to humanity, one that
has stood the test of years, and to
whose discoverer the world is indebted
for one of its priceless boons. No one
would think of abolishing our railroads
because fatalities sometimes occur on
them. Strike a balance between the
debit and credit accounts of vaccina-
ton, and do it fairly. and the scales
will tip decisively in favor of yaccina-

Horace Greeley's offspring, which has
been read almost as a Bible for sixty
years. has wound up its career. In
its place two publications are issued
by the Tribune people. One OF them
is called the New York Tribune
Farmer, being a newspaper for farm
and home reading, catering especially
to the agricultural classes. Its price
in club with this paper is SOC. a year.
The other publication is the New York
Tribune Weekly Review, especially
devoted to news, politics and literary
matter. Its price in club with this
paper is 75c. In each case the price
is exactly what we are required TO pay
the Tribune-there is no profit for us
in handling the subscriptions. Those
who were taking the old Weekly
Tribune are now receiving the Tribune
Farmer. They can have the Weekly
Review instead, We understand, by
dropping a card to the Tribune pub
fishers asking Tor the change. The
old Tribune rate in club was only 25c.,
at which. it seems. the circulation was
not profitable. We do not think the
increase in price will be received with
favor. and many readers will miss the
old familiar form of the Weekly
Tribune. We shall try clubbing with
the new publications for the present,
but unless more business results than
now seems likely shall drop it as soon
as this is demonstrated.

VAST FORESTS UNTOUCHED.
Large Tracts OF Land in Philippines Cow
cred by Magnificent Trees Untold
Wealth Awaits Pioneers Ak.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Through the
courtesy of an army Officer access was
secured to a report from Capt. G. p.
Ahern on forestry in the Philippine
islands. 1t is the first definite and
officil statement as to timber lands
in the far eastern possessions of this
country. 1t indicates IN measure
the possibilities of development in the
islands. Samples of 1core than 10
Philippine woods are in the possession
of leading furniture manufacturers
of the United States and they are
known to be making extensive plans
for securing control of large areas of
timber lands. Capt. Ahern says near.
~ one-haf of the area of the Philip
pine islands-2O, 100000 to 10000, OOc
acres-is covered with virgin forests
In trip to the southern islands, he
saw tracts where more than 10000
cubic feet of timber per acre was
standing; trees $50 feet high, with
trunks clear of branches for so feet
There are many millions of cubic
feet of timber in these forests that
should be cut in order to properly
thin out dense growth; for instance
where there are three or four trees
growing on a space required by one,
thatSone SO freed would put on more
good wood each year than the four
together. There are nearly 500 spec.
linens of native trees on the islands.
