GOVERNOR ALEXANDER AND
THE LAWYERS.

The Recorder hears that the high
minded lawyers Of salmon, who hon
or their good name and that Of their
calling, took ofTense at the eXcoria-
tiOn administed the other day by
Governor Alexander when he told
the shaddy doings OF lawyers. The
Governor certainly did take on the
skin where he struck and perhaps he
was too general in his remarks. Not
all lawyers by any means are Of the
kind he described. But there are
lawyers that dishonor the bar just a.
there are wolves that beset every
flock. The Governor was divesting
these lawyer vol YES OF their false
clothing when he peeled their skin
the way no did,
lie encounters them at every turn.
The other day one OF the kind un-
dertook 10 enforce demand Of Sl250O
upon the state for professional ser
vices against a bonding company AS
su5ety on ond Of default x official,
Gu the company was ready to con
(, - judgment for tine full amount
o! is liability. IL was because Of the
NatchtulneSS OF the Governor that
the bald scheme was frustrated. In
the recent political history and be-
fore the days OF Alexander the lawyer
would have got away with the s~ag.
Bat the peoples Governor is watch
ing tile gIaiters and las discovered
numbers Of grating lawyers In the
horde OF other looterS Of the state
treasury. They have infested the
state house for many years. The Gov
SrDor probably had them In mind
when he unlntentionaIly offended
lawyers of another kind who are
proud Of their professional reputa.
tions and have right 10 be.
livery possible misstatement of fact
IL made use OF by predatory press
TO ridicule the efforts Of the present
chief executive to Introduce approved
business methods In the state govern
ment. The Statesman, which has
pretensions to deoency and character
Us a newspaper, is strangely prosti-
tuled to lead the pack OF jackalS and
political tricksters who.long for re-
turn Of the good cid days before the
advent OF Alexander.
His efforts should he appreciated
by decent men and women OF all par.
ties, for there is no politics to divide
right from wrong, The hooters are
all dead against him, but all law
yers are not by any means hooters

executive Offices and attend to public
business. A suite OF rooms has been

At Uncertainty Surrounding Stay at
Fort Ethan Allen.

Burlington, Sept. Officers of the lst
Vermont infantry and army officers at
Fort Ethan Allen are disgusted with the
uncertainty that has prevailed at Wash
ington during the last few months.
An army officer of high rank, who
should know, says that half the officers
at the fort are waiting for the promo
tions to take effect that were scheduled
on July /, They are among 1000 off
Icers in the regular army, he said, whose
promotion had been delayed. To hold
up a promotion more than two weeks
was unprecedented before this. he de.
clared As for the militia, he asserted
that recommendation had been made in
the proper quarters that the remaining
companies and unsigned recruits in the
state be either sent to the border oI
discharged from active service. Asked
by whom and to whom tine recommends
tion was made, he refused to say.
