Montpelier will welcome the
American Federation OF Labor today
most heartily. This city believes in
union labor and knows that such or
ganizat!onR as We have in Montpe-
lier and in Vermont are wisely con-
ducted and beneficial.-Montpelier
Journal.
Vermont has been fortunate in
that the misfortuwes which have
characterized the ever-ending strug-
gle between capital and labor in
other States have not been inflicted
upon the people of this common
wealth. The few unions that are
thoroughly organized on a scale
large enough to make their existence
factor have been governed by
officials who were wise enough to
carefully consider existing conditions
when important moves were to be
made, To this feature is largely
due the freedom from labor troubles
that has characterized the conduct
of our different manufacturing in
dustries.

Shall Law, Order and Decency \
Prevail?


Editor of the Banner---In your LAST
weekly issue, you refer to my com
pliment against States Attorney w.
j. Meagher as making a mountain
out of a mole hill" hereby send an
exact statement of facts, emitting
cumbrous dates which can be fur
nished and everything can be backed
up by regular record
During his three terms of office he
has been called here but once, which
was about three years ago when an
offence, severely griey Gus of its class
took place of such a kind that the
prosecuting officer was obliged by
express statute to enter complaint
TO the States attorney Sec. 5464, a
party having left a dead horse, I'M
buried, in the very ditch of the road
side, killed through extreme cruelty,
as charged in the complaint.
The, States attorney appeared,
found due. cause of action and had
the party arrested. The trial being
deferred a week in order to give the
respondent opportunity for counsel.
After the justice and all parties con
ceTpeds Including witnesses, appear
ed and time for trial arrived, des'
ipatch was received from Mr.. Meagh-
er that the case must be adjourned
as he was busy elsewhere. When
time arrived and parties appeared for
trial again like despatch was re-
ceived. and thus, the case was de-
ferred for weeks and months seven
times until at the eighth hearing the
\ States attorney not even sending
any request for continuance the de
mand OF the respondents lawyer
from Bennington that the. case be
dropped was necessarily complied
with.
venture to say that such remiss.
ness OF bounden duty cannot be
found duplicated in the whole his
tory OF the state. The case neces
sarily became of wide notoriety in
our parts, and a remonstrance was
duly made against his denomination
| III our equity COuNtilNlOn WV etdi
ago, the declaration being made that
if law is to be thus administered in
our parts We are at the mercy o. the
lawless. Since then lawlessness has
been rampant, many houses have
been broken into, and property In
general insecure, and a fire consid
cred incendary has destroyed thou
sands of dollars worth of property
And yet, with these facts beyond al
dispute brought plainly before it. the
Bennington County Republican Con
vention renominates! With one Of
its leaders, as ! understand, openly
stating in the convention that per
haps there was areason for setting
the fire.
The enforcement of the law may
be fairly attended to in the town Of
Bennington where the States attor
ney resides; but the fact that he i:
upon a stated salary and a trip e
the back towns causes him unusua
trouble and time has no bearing in
the matter from true point of view
Upon the contrary he should Civ,
close attention to the remote places
even If it should interfere with hi,
} regular law practice. And ! have n,
sDosition TO withdraw the assertion
which ] made in the convention Mon
dsy that ! have as much respect TO
} the one who lii the match at the SUI
posed incendiary fire as | have 10

mated for the second time as its car
