The case had been on trial In the

the Supreme Court
Sometime ago the street railway
gave up the use of the property which
had been secured under condemnation
proceedings, and DIR. Islcy purchased
tho site for $500. II was then con
tended that t1c corner lots would
revert To tho former owners and DR..
Isle" accepted special warranty
decd.
According to the attorneys this is
the first case of It's character ever
brought up In Virginia court and
there were few authorities for the has.

Brattleborlana.
Montpelier Journal.l

This is a lemon
1t Is offered to Brattleboro, this state
Brattleboro is the home Of fair women
and men renowned for wisdom.
It is the home Of legal acumen and Of
budding statesmen, with a choicely as
sorted bunch Of the finest brainwhorls in
Vermont
1t Is the factory plantation or incuba-
tor that produced and harbors our at
torney- general, a judge Of the United
States court judge OF the supreme
court and prospective judges and judicial
experts galore
And yet Brattleboros town meeting was
a continuous performance for something
like three days because nobody was able
to find out who had been elected
1t seems that no one had a majority on
the first, second and Nth ballots and the
powers that wisely watch over the smil-
ing plantation of ripening lemons and
budding legal intellects pottered about
amid the ruins and remnants Of a bewil-
dered town meeting, seeking vainly who
was who.
Majority! Great Suffering Caesars
Ceremonial Sarcophagus Don't those
brain tanned intellects grasp the notion
that plurality elects in town meetings?
Has Brattleboro leaped with such vast
and fervid bounds TO the top of the tum-
bril- that she must needs forget that when
she meets in town meeting, good, Old
New England style, she is governed by
the same rules as st. George Of Belvidere?'
AS Artemus Ward would so truthfully
remark, This is a goak" And, as a
choice and delicately ripened fruit of the
genus Citrus and the variety of Linn
onum, the Journal presents the home Of
blonde sopranos and brunette attorneys
with this brief but heartfelt goshereno.
1t doesn't take an alienist to diagnosis
this brain storm in Montpelier. The
frothings are a pretty sure sign Of in
cipient hydrophobia.
Under the common law all elections are
by majority unless constitutional or stat
uatory provision is made for plurality
election. There is no such provision for
town meetings, and elections Of town Of
fcers annually in Vermont have always
been by majority.

who pass from the official life of the

tors are Alice of Delaware, Blackburn Of

Idaho Dryden of New Jersey, Millard Of
Nebraska and Patterson of Colorado
Blackburn will become a Panama canal
commissioner at a salary of $4,000 AZ year.
Berry, who was an officer in the Confed-
crate army, has been in the Senate %
years. He will be succeeded by ex-Gov.
JEFF Davis, who has a reputation as some-
thing of a freeater. Dryden has the
presidency Of the Prudential Life Insur-
ance company to occupy his attention
and Clark is one Of the wealthiest men
in the world. Dubois has been a dead
duck" before, and he is an unfiinching
fighter OF the Mormon church, which is a
political power in Idaho. Gen. Grosvenor

The Promise Has Been Kept.

In our news columns today the facts
are given about the final determination Of
the diseased meat cases which were
flung into the state campaign last sum-
mer with such flourish Of trumpets In
the Chttcndcn county court at Burling-
ton Judge Alfred \. Han imposed fines
aggregating 5000 on the Consolidated
Rendering company for selling diseased
meat and for having in its possession
with intent to sell the meat of calves less
than four weeks old on the following
day Judge Hall imposed a fine of $500 on
Dr Rich. former cattle commissioner, for
neglect of official duty in connection with
the sale of condemned cattle. All these
fines were promptly paid.
When these cases were brought to pub
lie notice last August Attorney y-General
Fits promptly began an investigation and
the promise was made that II any person
was guilty of the offences charged he
should be prosecuted and punished. This
promise has been fulfilled, and by means
of the determined and effective action of
the attorney general, the courts and leg
islaturc Of Vermont have set the pace for
the enforcement of the pure food laws.
Not the least important outcome of these
suits is the establishment of the fact in
law that a state official may be punished
for neglect to perform his official duty as
in the case of Or. Rich.
