THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
A Worthy Governor.
J | T must, indeed, be satisfying to a public
^
man such as the Hon. I,evl K. Fuller,
who recently vacated the Gubernatorial chair of
the " Green Mountain State, " to know that his
efforts to serve the best interests of the state
during his term of office have been so highly
appreciated by his fellow citizens and acknowl-
edged in such complimentary terms by the
newspapers in all parts of Vermont. This, how-
ever, is hardly surprising to those who know
what a clear-headed, broad-minded and talented
gentleman is Hon. Levl K. Fuller.
Among the numerous kind comments that we
came across in our exchanges, we quote the
following from a lengthly editorial in the Mont-
pelier Daily Journal, of October 4th: " T h e
chief executive who retired from office to-day
has been for two very busy years the state's
faithful and zealous servant. It needed not the
exhibit he makes in his valedictory message of
duties discharged and labors performed to assure
the people of Vermont that he has been a very
faithful steward. His message tells chiefly of
those technical administrative acts which the
law and constitution require of the state's chief
magistrate. The document shows that Governor
Fuller has been a close student of the workings
of the state institutions, that he has a practical
idea of what those institutions are designed for
and by what specific ways and means their pur-
pose can be best accomplished. In all the in-
terests of Vermont, In stock and farm products,
in its manufacturing and educational affairs, in
his careful oversight of the state institutions, in
his courteous and patient attention to all the
numberless—and many senseless—demands
upon his time, in his firmness in all matters in
which the rights of the state or the cause of in-
dividual justice were concerned, he has been a
wise, faithful, energetic, painstaking execu-
tive. . . . Governor Fuller ends to-day a
very busy and a very useful term in the execu-
tive chair. The state will long remember his
administration, and the best of good wishes will
go with him into his retirement.''
In this connection we cannot refrain from giv-
ing the following excerpt from Kx-Governor
Fuller's valedictory message. It conveys a sen-
timent—a patriotic, healthy one—which perhaps
furnishes more than anything else the key to
Mr. Fuller's popularity with his fellow citizens:
" One of the most pleasant features of the
official term has been the numerous opportuni-
ties of meeting with the Vermont Societies in
various parts of the country. Into these socie-
ties is gathered the sturdy manhood and high
souled womanhood which has been flowing from
our highlands everywhere into the life of the na-
tion and which has been one of the most benefi-
cent agencies in the development of the political,
social, and religious life of our nation. Into the
gatherings of these societies come, from time to
time, these loyal sons and daughters of Vermont,
and, under the enchantment of memory they for-
get their years and their burdens, their cares and
their bustling activities, and while thinking
reverently of the dead and lovingly of the living,
they rekindle their patriotic zeal, as they recall
the scenes of the old Green Mou atain State, and
the hallowed memory and teachings of the
fathers.
'' These sons and daughters of Vermont who
have gone forth and are scattered through our
broad continent, as they look lovingly back to
"TKe Hi
Type."

their mother commonwealth, realize that the real
strength and grandeur of a State does not de-
pend upon the evidences it can show of vast and
material prosperity or wealth of population, but
that these elements reside rather in the spirit of
the people, that prevents its communities from
being demoralized by corruption, and keep from
it that spirit of speculation that works havoc in
its business relations, and drives away the unbe-
lief that undermines the faith of its people, and
preserves, equally and well, the rights of all."
RECENT LEGAL
DECISIONS.
[PKEl'ARKD roR THE MUSIC TXADE REVIEW.]
PIANOS
MANUFACTURED BY
SURETY—RELEASE AND DISCHARGE.
Where the payee of a note, though volun-
tarily, and without the maker's knowledge,
writes thereon that he extends payment until a
certain time, the surety is discharged, it being
immaterial that the extension may not
prejudice him. Sloan v. Latimer, in appeal be-
fore the Supreme Court of South Carolina, cited
in The American Lawyer.
MORTGAGE—NOTE—SURETYSHIP.
M 171 and 173 South Canal Street,
CHICAGO.
THE
Sterling Company,
The Supreme Court of Georgia held, in the re-
cent case of Flanagan vs. Forest et al., that a
mortgage made by a principal in a promissory
note to his surety to indemnify the latter against
loss on account of his suretyship may be fore-
closed after maturity of the note and payment
thereof by the surety to the creditor, though the
payment be made not in money or property but
by executing a several promissory note which
the creditor accepts in full payment of the joint
note, and that although the surety, if he so
elected, might under Georgia code, sections
2176, 2177, have the right to ba subrogated to
the creditor's status on the joint note, yet a fore-
closure by him of the mortgage is a renunciation
of that right, and the joint note is thus wholly
extinguished, not only as to the surety but as to
his principal.
CRIMINAL LIABILITY OF BANK FOR RECEIVING
DEPOSITS WHEN INSOLVENT.
MANUFACTURERS OF
Pianos and Organs,
FACTORY:
DERBY, CONN.
If a bank receive deposits of money, drafts or
checks, after knowledge of its insolvency is ac-
quired by the officers or agents in charge, it is,
in a legal sense, guilty of fraud, says The Court
Journal. While the effect of a deposit in a sol-
vent bank is to vest the title of the thing de-
posited in the bank upon an implied contract
that it shall repay the amount upon the checks
of the depositor, yet if the bank be chargeable
with fraud in receiving it, the depositor may, on
discovering that fact, rescind the contract and
reclaim the property, unless it has in the mean-
time passed into the possession of a dona Jide
holder. Cragie v. Hadley, 29 N. Y., 131 ; I. &
T. N. Bank v. Peters, 123 N. Y., 272.
