partment Of the Review OF Reviews
The indictment for making false entries
in the be oks covers period OF little more
than year, and relates to the account Of
M. f. Allen About thirty false entries are
named iu the indictment the following of
which Is sample: In Ketchum's haudwrit-
ing on the journal under date OF June rs,

many things in regard to school manage

Most State papers devote certain

THE Mc6OVERN CASE

When Washington county court recon
vened at two o'clock on Monday jury
YVES promptly empsnelled in the cese OF
Daniel I. McGovern against Hays & Smith,
receivers OF the Central Vermont railroad
Unusual care ives taken on both sides in
polliEg the jurors, especially as TO their
CONNIE ction, in business way or otherwise,
with the Central Vermont railway.
The plaintiff is represented by f. L, Laird
and j. W. Gordon. j. H. SeDter, G. w.
Writer'S and Frank Plumley appear for the
railrC ad.
The history of the case is familiar to all
newspaper readers in Washington county.
On Sunday, January "a, 1881, while the
plaintiff was driving toward Burlington he
was struck by freight train at crossing
in the town OF B lton and sued to recover
damages. The case has been twice tried.
The first time the jury disagreed, and az the
second trial the plaintiff was awarded
$4,000. The case went to Supreme Court
on exceptions and YVES remanded for new
trial, the beginning Of which was reached
today. This ise will probably take the
time OF court four OF five days.

itative instances If transactions of this
kind of recent occurrence are cited.
1t is gratifying to know that the re-
testing of herds, SO far rs this has been
done, shows reasonable degree of
freedom from disease; that the work OF
the commission, once done, has a
reasonable degree of permanence. In
cases when the nature Of the test war
ranted doubt, the life of the animal
has been spared. These cases have
been taken up later and the action OF
the commission has been determined
by the developments.
1t is clear that the cattle commits
sion is doing its work with fidelity,
courage and good judgment, and the
general public will approve its course.

treaty Of peace, has been cited as pre-
senting the basis of further distinct
ion in the status of the Philip
pines and Porto Rico, but it is pointed
out that the resolution, though it pass
ed the Senate and House of Represen-
tative', was not signed by the Presi-
dent, is therefore of no more legal ef-
feet than any bill or joint resolution
that has failed, and is of no conse-
quence ae an expression of the judg-
ment of Congress. Authorityis sought
under the Spooner act for the imposi-
ton of tariff duties upon imports from
Manila or other Philippine ports, but
as this is distinctly the business
of Congress, the suggestion can hard
ly be seriously made or enter
tanned by the administration.
If there is doubt or perplexity 10 re-
pect of the Philippines, 1t pertains to
the period between the ratification of
the treaty with Spain and such time as
Congress shall exercise its declared
constitutional right to enact a Philip
pine tariff law. 1t is purely matter
of keeping or refunding certain duties
collected. The right of Congress tC
levy duties is established, and that ii
the main thing.
