whlHi tilled the hall on this and other
Important ipiehtloii.-i. In dcnllng with tin
lieero question I'm. V.iiilain.m took a
view direct I v opposite to that usually
presented iu Vermont, but spoke as one
who knew and dealt with the matter In
an Intimate and frank manner.
Prof. M. D. Chittenden introduced tho
speaker n. the t.T-govcrnor and senator
of Mississippi saving tb.it he was four
years goxernor of the Stnte and had been
elected lo the Fnlted Slates Senate by a
popular file which cairled 78 of tho 7'J
counties In his district.
By far the inosl Interesting part of the
aililn-ss was that which had to do with
conditions In the South arising out of the
negro tumble. lie took up, howevir.
many other subjects, such ai. the recall
of bulges, and said that hi no coiintiy
was the Judicial bench allowed to exei else
such power us In the Fnlted States. He
feaied usurpation "f power h Judges ami
In fact said that the history of their
decisions during the past 40 years had
hem a story ,.f usurpation of power. Tin
constitution was iifver Intended to give
on- small uiterle of men the right to
oierthiow the will ot '.i'J,iiih,(iii ot people,
and If there was any body who ought to
be called and re-called and kicked off
the face of the rattli it was the bench of
tli- supreme court.
The purchase of the Philippine Islands
also came In for his criticism, as well as
I the expense of maintaining and lncreas
lug the army and navy. "Two-thirds of
the money appropriated by Congress Is
to pay for wars nlnadv fought or to pre
pare for another one," declared Clovcrnor
Vardanian.
H was on the negro question, however,
thnt th" speaker grew most eloquent and
he gave his views fi arlessly to what he
j-uppiisfd would he Inclined to be a bus
tile audience. He began at the time of
the war ami said that neither he nor any
other southerner hated the negro, and
that wiu n the war broko out every man
mid boy of any size left their homes and
their loved ones In the can- of the faith
ful slaves. Alter the war he had worked
side by ridu with them, during tho time
v leu his family was sintering from re
verses. He knew them In every phase of
their lives, it w.us not until several yearB
niter the war that any white woman was
assaulted by the negroes', and this was
the result of the training. At the present
t'me tin home was left unguarded for a
moment and no white woman was al
lowed to walk a block through the most
settled district In town without a white
e.-coit. A lelgn of terror hung nvir thi
entire soutlurn i oimtry, the re.-ult of
the freedom afforded the neg-o an 1 m
belief which has been Instilled Into hint
that he Is tile equal of the white man.
Senator Vardaman quoted Thomas Jef
ferson, who foresaw the troubles that
would ultimately arise trom the treedom
of tho slaves, which he knew would sm.ie
time come. lie i.-ad extracts which
showed that Jefferson believed the
qiuMioi. could never be solved by making
the negro the social and political equal of
the white man. Elr.'uts from Abraham
Lincoln expressing the same opinion weie
eiso read.
The speaker then went Into thu physi
cal dlfierences in the two races, referiitu;
to the difference In tin- shapes of the
skulls and to the matitn r In which the
m.-ii of both races developed. During
uirly childhood the mgio was fully n.-"
relf-ivllant as the white child and 'ro
gusiicd probably as rapidly until the ago
i.f puberty, and then- the. difference in -gan.
The white race went on and the
Unci: remained stationary or , von went
bad;.
The black laces In Africa weie using
chilis for wi-.ipiui-i and pursuing the canl
tnllsttc habits In the same nunicr thu'
they did live thoii'.anil yonv 'igo. The
would not pri'KtV-s and ever' !' they weie
liftid out of tin 'i.-i lvos for generation
they went ' nek.
Absorption was no solution of the ques
tion for tli.) reason that the pile of find
forbade il. As an Illustration he quoted
from history showing the i xtlnctlim of
tile wliltf races w hit h had mixed with
the black in the Eiist. -lust that hu-s
made the whlto race what it is to-day.
It has maintained II-. Intigritv and ha.-.
ruled the world.
He then went exhaustively into tlm
physical differences, "you have proba
bly noticed an aroma arising from a
colond gentleman In your vicinity and
thought perhap" that It was the result
of a draught," said the governor, "but
the mllre Mississippi river couldn't get
tlinr smell away. That keeps away the
poisonous mosquito which carries tho
tu'ihuia and yellow fever germ." H
linn wint on to say that It was not
until 1S7S that a colored man ever had
the yellow fever In Mississippi ainl that
in every case the negro had white blood
in his veins. Even medicine doei not af
fect the iifgro us It does the white
man.
The governor then compared th dif
ference In conditions in Vermont, where
thero were only S'J', negroes in lfV to
Mississippi whero they constituted E.H
pir cent, of the population. Whiskey
and cocaine have combined to make de
mons of them there. After painting with
realism the conditions arising from this,
the speaker went on to the remedies.
He thought the tlrst of these should be
the lepiallng of the 13th amendment to
the constitution, which had never been
Intended to apply to negroes. By shut
ting off from them tho right to vote
and to hold office. It would forever pre
cludo their liopo of social and political
equality.
Senator Viirdaman's spcecli was full

At the Hotel Vermont last evening was I
held the annual meeting and banquet of
the Chittenden County Par iissocl itlon,
with an attendance of 25 members. FI
lowing the dinner, served nt 0:30, tiie law
yers retired to the roof garden shortly
before nine o'clock, where President Max
L. Powell acted as toasttua.itcr. The fol
lowing olflcers were elected for the nom
ine year; President, Senator L. C Mow
er; vice-president, Mu.ior Robert Rob
erts; secretary, Jo.'-epii T. St'iirns. treas
urer, ClRiidu D. (Iraton; so, rotary ot gov
erning boord, C. P. Cowlcs; members of
governing hoard for three y, ars, Mayor
Roberts and Judge J. 11. Macomber. fni
ted Slates Senator Vaiilamnn. v.'ho wus
In thu city, was expect"! lo be present
If hn finished his lecture at tho high
school In time, but was still speaking
there when the lawyers adjourned.
Charles E. Allen was the llrst speaker
of tho evening, and paid a full and high
tribute to the late Judge A. A. Hull, em
phasizing his clear, impartial and Inde
pendent qualities on the bench, and cit
ing the Sllns case, wherein Judge Hall
differed with the majority of the suprrnn
court, lint rrcflved -i general opinion con
curring with his own.
Mr. Powell delivered the president's
address, discussing tin- practice of tho
law yesterday and to-day. Describing
the methods of trial in voguo
years ago, when suits wire con
tested with th" utmost ardor, he depre
catiil needles'! rcort to legal ptoeess
nnd romnunded that type ot lawyer
that adjusts a client's affairs out of
court and saves needless expense. In
conclusion, he pleaded for fees com
mensurate with tlie brains of tho pro-
fe.ssicn. Fees, he mid, remain much tho
same in sections of Vermont ns they
were !u years past, nnd while engineers,
for example, receive due financial re
ward for their services, the legal pro
fession. In respect of tho character of
the men in its ranks, Is perhaps the
poorest paid of any Iln of effott.
Judge Taylor, now presiding in Chit
tenden rounly court, said that the pres
ent time Is one of unrest in court af
f.iiis. The spirit of reform Is abroad.
Much of this Is due to agitation, hut
for It there must lie some real ground,
some wrong tn bo righted, even If but
an Imaginary one.
"It occurs to Hi"," he observed, "that
legislation as ,1 mcms of nieetlnp these
ncc.is Is fraught with danger. Changes
should come from bar and bench. It
seems to me, if conditions are not cor
rect' il, they are liable to be sublected
to legislation, with possible attendant
disadvantages."
No preliminary injunction or restrain
ing older, he said, should be issued
without notice, exiepl when Immediate
and In ep.irable harm would bo likely to
result, lie also recommended allol.itlon
of the delays now cxpnienecl In secur
ing Justice
"Collet th el . ' ill- lOllliuiled, "the
meml'Ois of tlie bar want to expedite'
justice, but indlvliiu.illv they seek to de
lay Ir. U'e should tak- Individually the
attitude mi- ciilleitivolv take.
Mr. Pow til touched upon the New
England railroad situation In his intro
duction of Chairman John W. Redmond
of tlie State public t-orvico commNsInn
and delivered hm"if of ,1 pun worthy
of li petition,
"Railio.nl presidents,' said Mr. Pow
ell, "may In futiiie trust in Providence,
but Providence will never again trim
In lallioad pr. sldenis."
There was a time, said Conimis.'doner
Redmond, when such men as Edmund
iitield and Phelps, anv of them able to
lopre.-ent the L'nlted States with credit
nt Tlie Hague, were all practicing simul
taneously In Vermont.
"The lawyer's profession," said he, "is
not. to be practiced for the fake of mak
ing money alone. But It one's object l
to make the mint of himself mentally,
morally and spiritually, lot him enter the
law. The doctor and the minister, never
contradicted, become In a few years in
tolerant. But the lawyer gets licked
many times, all bis life, and he acquires
a henlthv respect for the opinion of the
other fellow.
"Much time is lost in tile trial of law
.sult", and In debating th admissibility of
1 vldence. Time Is wasted also by th
court, under existing methods."
Commissioner Redmond spoke phly for
rome time upon the fundamental princi
ples of American government, emphasiz
ing tho need at the present day of n
thorough tindi rstandlm; "f economic
I rohlenis, so Important a phase of the
civilization of to-day.
"Talk these over with all sorts of
men," said he. "They are reading and
studying, Just as you are, and from
st.urres tho most unexpected you can
li arn something. Mnke known what 1011
learn."
The evening was concluded with the
business meeting, at which the associa
tion went on tecoril as favoring the bill
now before the nenernl Assembly, advo
cating an additional county tax, not to
exceed one per cent, of the grand list, to
provide for alterations and tepalrs upon
the county court house, including tho ad
dition of a number of rooms for purposes
of consultation.
