The Reform School.

There was a feeling among consider
able portion of the members Of the legisla-
ture-which found expression in foolish
episode in the house, on Thursdsy-that
the proposed excursion to Vergennes to
visit the Reform school would be waste
of their time and of the public money. We
know that good many of them altered
their minds on that point before they had
finished their short stay at the school.
They found that they had been getting
ideas and information pretty rapidly. We
have no doubt that the day was far more
profitably spent. for the public welfare, by
our legislators, than 1t would have been If
they had renamed at Montpelier-most of
them doing nothing but wait tor some one
else to do something The Reform school
is the ward of the legislature. The men,
bers are IN duty bound to know something
about its arrangements, its work, its aims,
Its needs. They can learn these best upon
the spot, and the complaint we should
make in the case Is not at all that the legis-
lature took time to see the Reform school,
but that they did not take more time.
From ourIown impressions, and from
conversation with senators and representa-
tives, we judge that the majority reached
distinct conclusions on some points h,her-
to held In doubt by many. They could
not have been long in deciding that the
change from Waterbury to Vergennes,
however brought about, has not been a bad
thing for the school. The present spot Is a
delightful one for such an institution, and
it Is plainly healthy location. There was
not boy sick, or unable to take his part
actively in the drill and work. The visi-
tors saw clear evidence that the school Is
In good hands; and that 1t is q school and

to Orvil and received beautiful letter
in reply, saying he had been unfortu-

tune, and could do no better than to
remit the interest on the endorsed
note and note of his own for ninety
days. A second letter, a few weeks
later, brought no different response,
but when third came Orvll was
ready to meet the emergency. He
sent the friend 81, 900 of stock ia the
Bristol Franklinite Company, which
he said he was selling at par, but
which ought to pay a dividend of ten
per cent, aud there was no reason why
it should not pay 40 or SO per cent
after one or two years, adding: "You
need not sell the stock unless you
can get $500 for it." This letter dis
couraged the friend, and he gave up
the case as hopeless. Subsequently
the post leadership business gave
Orvil lit, aud he sent the friend
$500. The remainder of the note and
the interest still hangs fire. The

the case on contingent fee, and to this
it is replied that lawyers are usually
thus paid in prosecuting all claims

such fees must be large to compene ate
the attorney for risk of failures; 2,
that the pla ntifrs facts were untrue,

mes of the government attorney to de-
monstrate the falschood; 8, that the

The financial situation in this coun.
try is thus cleverly illustrated by the
New York Express: 1.-THE United
States owe several hundred millions in
debt which they will neither nav nor
pay interest upon, and hence their
notes are discredited for the same
reason that the notes of a merchant
would be under similar circumstances
The merchant may be solvent, but if
be refuses to meet certain of his obi
cations. on that class of debts his
credit is bad. So also the States.
counties, towns, and cities owe more
money than they can well pay, and
hence SO many local troubles from
local cluses. Still more is debt the
cause of failures. The people still
owe millions of dollars which they can
only extinguish by bankruptcy, and
this they are doing every day. 1t is
only when the government and peorle
can pay as they go that business will
be prosperous again. This time, we
trust, is not very far in the distance
