Windsor County Court.
June Term. 1907.

For a week past the court has been oe-
eupied with the trial OF Giovanni bar-
BATH vs.. the Town OF Grafton, a negii-
genee case, based upon an alleged defect
in certain eulyert ON highway in said
town near the hamlet of Houghtonviile.
The plaintiff, native Of sunny Italy,
who has lived in Vermont some sixteen
years, is by occupation pulp-wood chop
per. April 20, 1908, he was returning
from looking over a contract job, and was
riding in buggy wagon In company
with his son, Sullivan, and Mr.. Holt,
both interested with the plaintiff in the
ohopping job. Barbatti sat ON the knees
Of his companions, and just as the team
was about TO enter ON the bridge or eul-
vert, one OF the horses forefeet went
down hole In the road and the plain
tin was thrown forward, one hand came
In contact with the dasher, the other
touching the ground, his breast striking
ON the wheel. As result, the plaintin
claimed to have split the ensiform carti-
laee OF the breast bone or sternum; the
ulna process OF the right arm was frae-
tured so that the hand cannot be rotated
and the seventh rib was fractured. All
these affairs caused him so much anxiety
that he has suffered from series of COM
plants; and he told all about 'em, for his
tongue knew no restraints, and his
tongue being Italian was translated TO the
jury through the medium OF an inter
prefer. The hole through which the
horses hoof went was claimed to have
been the result OF rotten planking.
This condition was denied by the town,
whose evidence tended to show that the
accident occurred from the stumbling OF
the horse driven by the plaintiff. More
over, the plaintiff had magnitied his NAL
aides, the defendant claimed, and was not
so badly hurt as he represented. The de-
PENDANT also introduced evidence OF al
legged declarations by plaintiff in which
he stated the breast bone ailment was the
result of some injury received in Italy be-
fore he came TO this country.
When court took its recess over sun
day, the plaintiff had completed his case
and rested and the defence improved a
few witnesses. The trial was resumed on
Monday with the defence's witnesses.
Homer l.. Skeels and John G. Sargent
for plaintiff; A. +. Cudworth and w. Ii.
c. Stickney for defendant.

The Progressive party in Japan, which
means the anti-administration crowd, are
making some noise over the alleged in
dignities offered to japanese residents of
California, and certain American news
papers Of yellowish hue are eagerly catch
ing up the promise of a sensation, and
talking possible war. This is about all
there is to it. The two governments are
in accord. There has been some careless
ness in California regarding treatment OF
Japanese, and those responsible must be
brought to accounts and such things pre-
vented in future. The senseless race pref
udice there must subside or something
may occur to cause real trouble. At pres
emit Japan is not disposed to magnify TIE
small incidents, and the attempt of the
Progress.vists will be disappointed in
seeking to make political capital by jingc
hurrah. japan does not want war with
America; America does not want wal
with Japan. 1t takes two to make 9

Special Taxation Commission,

Nobody knows better than the COM
missioners themselves what they are up
against in this matter, how they must
strive with some reservations of conserva-
tive craftsmanship to reconcile bewilder-
ing mass of confusing theories with some
definite determined state policy that in
the fair trial promises to effect the great
est practical good to the greatest number
Whatever they do recommend must be
largely by way of experiment and conse-
quently cannot well be anything alto
gether radical. Worse than all, they are
not likely to hit upon any magic process
whereby taxes may be assessed without
actually taking money out of peoples
pockets. And in this latter solemnity lies
nine hundred and ninety-nine thou
sandths Of the objections that will be
raised to any law they may propose. st.

WATER FOR STATEN ISLAND.

The announcement that the municipal au-
fhorities have at last seriously and energet-
ically taken in hand the work of securing an
adequate water supply for Staten Island must
be most welcome 10 the long suffering people
of that much neglected borough In Manhat
tan and Brooklyn there are not infrequent COM
plants of scantiness and impurity of the water
supply. but these are nothing in comparison
with the just complaints which daily arise in
Richmond. There schools have had 10 be closed
for lack Of water in the buildings, water has
been hawked about by the bucketful, and dan
ger of fire or pestilence has been imminent
The causes Of that abominable state Of af-
fairs are several One is probably TO be found
IN the unsatisfactory management of the pri-
vate corporations which have been serving-or
failing to serye-the island with water Some
startling stories are told of those companies
or of one of them. which may or may not be
entirely true, but Of the fact that private en-
ferprise has failed to give the island communi-
ties a decent supply there can be no question.
Another cause has been the city's delay in TAX
ing action. The municipal government ought
years ago TO have done something for Rich
mond's relief in a radical manner, instead OF
fwiddling along with hopes which were vain and
with promises which were intTinsically incapa-
bic Of fulhlment.
II is quite probable that small as is the fresh
water area of Staten Island, a supply can be
developed there adequate to the present needs
Of the people. The ponds and streams-Silver
Lake Glove Lake, Willow Brook and others
are not large, but some of them are capable of
furnishing considerable supply, while there
IS a great possibility in wells which may be
sunk in the billy region between Stapieton and
Fresh Kills. Moreover, it is to be borne in
mind that the population of the urban part of
the island is still small, though it is growing
and would grow much more rapidly If only de-
cent water, lighting and transportation facilities
were provided, instead Of the very worst In any
part Of this city, and perhaps the worst In any
civilized city OF respectable standing
In addition to the action which is now being
taken for development ana utilization OF the
local supply, the city will do well to have re-
gard for the future and to lay plans for sup
ply from elsewhere. The empty dream of get
ting water from New Jersey has already been
too mischievous. It should never have been
cherished, and IL should certainly now be for
ever abandoned. Richmond's future supply
must come from the same general sources as
that OF the rest of the city, through an auue-
duct carried across from Brooklyn and connect
ing with either the Long Island or the Croton-
Catskill system. OF course 1t must be mu-
niclpal supply. and the sooner it is made so
the better. Whatever may be thought of mu-
nicpaI ownership and operation Of other pub
lie utilities, It is generally conceded that the
ss4er supply Of a city should be thus provided,
