satisfaction of knowing that Mr.. Tyler
fought the removal inch by inch, and even
after bis head had rolled into the basket,
he almost refused to attend the "funeral,"
hoping TO have a resurrection of his hopes
In some form. He is certainly entitled to
great credit for his advocacy of forlorn
hope.
We suspect none ever saw SO much
lodging or running the house as took
place on these two county bills. Several
who had escaped to avoid voting, were
captured and brought back by the friends
or opponents of the measure and compelled
to vote, each soemnly affirming that he
was within the bar of the house when the
question was stated, whether there or not.
it was disgraccfu sight to see so tlmid
lodging out to avoid perhaps q pledge al
ready given. We say it was disgracefal
for men to run away" dodge" or fail
TO vote Men who are elected to represent
people should be careful how they make
pledges, but having made them should have
the manincss to fulfill them, and not play
the sneak or show craven cowardice.
The work of the session will probably be
as much in a confusion the last night of
the session as it would have been on Thurs
day night, although some important meas
ures may be perfected which otherwise
would have failed.
The governors nomination for members
of the board of agriculture provoke much
comment for several reasons. The first is
that no representative of the manufacture
ing or mining interest Is put in the list, as
the law provides, or at least which the
spirit of the law contemplates. Another
objection made to the nominations is that
it gives to the Dalrymcns association two
members of the board, o. S. Bliss and 4.
d. Mason, while it recognizes the State
Agricultural society but one member, G.
Horace Hubbard, for if specific interest
are to be recognized at all they should be
recognized alike, 50 as to harmonic the
two interests, rather than widening the
breach that now separates them. The
question is asked who is r. L. Sheldon, the
Bennington county member? lie is an
unknown man, and tits rumored here that
he was urged upon the governor by a rep
resentative who has shown considerable
oilicousness in certain directions, and if his
movements were fully understood would
make an interesting chapter in the history
of the present legislature the shiftings
and operations of this suddenly great man
are amusing, and to some quite ludicrous.
The question is being seriously coIsd-
cred swhither this, like the Board of
Education, should not be abolished 1t is
questioned by some whether it is really as
at present constituted, of any benefit to
the state, and yet bills are already pending
for increasing the appropriation to support
it.
The bill to abolish travelling liquor
agents. received some amusing hits during
its discussion in the house, but after all
attempts to defeat it by ridicule, it passed
by strong majority. The senate will
probably hesitate somewhat over its enact
ment into law.
The bill to tax savings banks failed to
pass mainly because it would make spicific
tax payable directly into the state treasury,
rather than allowing it to take the usual
method by giving the towns the benefit of
it.
The legislature would be in about as bad
a fix in reference to the adjournment as
they were on Thursday, when they put off
the day of final adjournment. INCoG.
