The bronze statue of Hon. William II.
Seward, erected 10y number of the citizens
of New York, on Madison Square, was I'M
yelled on Wednesday afternoon of last week,
with appropriate exercises. The Grafton
was by Hon. William NJ. Evarts, who spoke
of Mr. Stewards life in different epochs as
follows
"The lie Of Mr. Seward naturally divides itself
from the period Of his manhood to his death into
four divisions Of service to the country-seryice
always from the beginning to the end From
1924 to 1876 he was lawyer, then for an inter
val in the service of the Senate OF the state From
1896 to 1913 he filled a prominent part in the ser
vice of the state with intervals in which he re-
sumed again his place "a lawyer and citizen

Mr.. Eyarts closed by saying of Mr.. Sew
ard " His fame is our fame. Ii his fame
is not worth defending, no fame Of an Amer.
lean is worth defending If we cannot up
hold our greatest and best men, assuredly
we are scarcely worth unfolding ourselves.
| The statue was executed by Randolph
Rogers, of New York city, at an expense OF
twenty-five thousand dollars, contributed by
a hundred gentlemen in sums OF two hun
bred and fifty dollars each. The statue rep
resents Mr.. Seward sitting in his usual at.
titude, slightly turned in his chair toward
the left with his right leg thrown over the
left. In his hand he holds document as
if he had just been writing, and his right
hand in which he holds the pen has fallen ia
his side. The height OF the figure, while
sitting, is ten feet, and if standing would
be thirteen feet. The base of the pedestal
bears the following inscription William
II. Seward, Governor, Senator, Secretary OF

Both branches Of the legislature organized
very readily and very satisfactorily on We'd
nesday Of last week.
In the Senate, Mr.. Walton's molesty pre-
vented him from allowing his name to be
used as candidate for President pro tenn,
and we understand that, at a caucus Of the
senators held this morning, it was agreed TO
present the name of General Grout, of
Orleans. Senator Grout has hal q large
legislative experience, and will make a ready
and capable presiding officer. The contest
over the office of Secretary Of the Senate
was quadrangular one, and resulted in a
complomise-peihaps the best way Of set
Ting the matter-by re-elccting both Of the
old officers, Messrs. Baldwin aud Brownel,
to the respective offices Of Secretary and As
sistant Secretary of that body. Certainly
formed during the last session. aud we can
see little reason why with increased expe-
rience and added wisdom, these same officers
should not even do better this year than
then. The reelection Of Rev. y. y. Glazier,
of Montpelier, as Chaplain, was fitting rec
IGNITION Of the merits of one Of the bright
est and most deserving Of the younger cler-
gymen in the state. The Senate did itself
more honor in this selection than it did Mr.
Glazier.
In the House the selection OF Governor
Stewart for Speaker had been foregone
conclusion for some time, provided he would
accept the position. At late hour he re-
luctantly consented, aud the more than sub
stantial unanimity with which he was elected
reflects great honor upon the good sense and
intelligence of House composed mainly Of
new members, yet embracing among its
numbers so many men of marked ability,
and large legislative experience. The prompt
and efficient manner in which he entered upon
the duties of his office, and his ready and in
tellgent manner of facilitating legislation,
will, we are sure, most thoroughly commend
him TO those of the members who cast their
ballots for him solely upon his reputation as
an able and accomplished gentleman and
honest man, without personal acquaintance
with him. In the matter of an election of
n clerk of the House, the contest was be
tween two gentlemen of undoubted ability |
Mr. Camp, of Newport the old incum-
1ent, and Mr.. Chapman, of Vergennes. The !
election resulted in the choice of Mr.. Chap |
nan, upon the second ballot. No one ae-
Iuainted with Mr. Chapman or his qualif-
cations can doubt but what he will make
most efficient and courteous officer. His
long experience in similar pursuits has rem
dered him thoroughly conversant with the
duties of his position, and we predict for
him successful career in this position. Mr..
Camp retires with the thorough respect,
even of those who voted against him upon
the ground that he has held the office for a
long time. lie has been faithful and in
telligent officer. Mr.. Fulton, the new Chap.
lain, is comparatively new resident here
but during this brief time has made many
friends, and has proved himself worthy
and faithful Christian gentleman.

State Expenses.

The annual expenses Of the government
Of the state are a matter Of serious interest
to every citizen. Aud as the Rutland Globe
has fallen into grave errors in this natter
and made misstatements o. damaging
character we have deemed it wise to exam
inc the subject carefully, aud ascertain the
exact truth. II will be seen from the Treas
urer's report, il carefully analysed, that the
current expenses Of the state for the two
years ending August !, 1919, and August l.
1876. were six hundred and twenty-five
thousand eight hundred and sixty-onc dollars
and thirtv-fye cents, and not eight hundred
and thirty-two thousand three hundred and
thirty-eight dollars aud seventytwo cents,
according to the gross misstatement in the
GioJe. We have tabulated the expenses of
the state for these two years, and give them
as they are to be found in the admirable re-
port of the State Treasurer. OF course the
GioJc. having access TO the same sources Of
information that we have, can ascertain
from them the absolute iucorrectness Of its
wild Misrepresentation aud the falsity Of its
own comments and conclusions. II is mat.
ter of congratulation that the ordinary ex-
penses of the state have not increased in pro
portion 10 the universal increase Of the
private expenses Of our citizens, and that We
still have the most economical state govern
ment in the country.

The mastery manner in which Governor
Fairbanks in his message has ventilated
some of the abuses which have crept into
the administration of our state affairs, nd
the direct aud eifectua methods of reform
recommended, are deservedly attracting at.
tention in other states The Springfield
RepubiicW Of Saturday speaks as follows
"Gov Fairbanks message to the new Legis.
lature of Vermont is Unexpectedly remark.
able for its sharp and intelligent criticism
OF state administration, and we are pleased
to recognize in some of the reforms he adyo-
Gates shapes which we have often and labo-
riously beaten out on the Republicans anvil.
We don't say this TO claim the credit of orig
inality, but merely to note the interesting
fact that the tendencies of reform in neigh
boring states are somewhat the same which
fact is in itself a confirmatory evidence of
the value OF the reforms themselves. The
state of Vermont has been fortunately free
from great administrative abuses, aud her
Governors have had little to say in the way
of urging improvements, but Governor Fair
banks brings TO his office a more critical and
healthful spirit, and shows abundant need
of the eternal vigilance which is certainly
the price of good and economical govern
ment."
After quoting literally from the message
in respect to its treatment of our jury trials
and prison system, the Republican adds /.
