The Green Mountain Freeman thinks
that the next general assembly of Vermont
had better stay in session long enough
"allow the commonwealth to get along for
"the space of two years without session
being called to tinker some little mat
"ter' y; which is very good suggestion,
but we do not think it would require very
long session TO do it in We need shorter
sessions of the general assembly, and we
can obtain them without finding the ne.
cessty for special sessions, only by electing
legislators of ordinary intelligence enough
to understand what is going on in the world
around them; of sufficient intelligence to
know what legislation will be required for
two years to come and Of sufficient energy
and industry to go at work at once, and
keep working until all necessary business
Is completed. The several questions or
" little matters as the Freeman has it,
which have suggested the propriety, or ne
cessty, Of special session were as well
known and understood by the mass of the
people two years ago as now and only
the gentlemen that we select to represent
us seem to be profoundly ignorant in refe-
renee to these, as well as many other mat
tiers that demand legislation. Remedy the
matter in the primaries and at the ballot
box

The Whitehall Failure.

An adjourned meeting of the creditors
of Manville, Hall & Co., of Whitehall,
was held at the Office of the company Sat
urday, at which all the principal creditors
were present. The total liability of the
firm as presented was found to be $4,000,
while the assets, including everything, was
estimated at $25, 900 to S35, 900. A prop
ostion Of settlement was made by +. f..
Davis, the senior member of the firm, first,
to surrender the accounts and property of
the company to their creditors upon the
REIMBURSEMENT of their claims or, second,
to give the notes of the company at six,
twelve, eighteen and twenty -four months,
at the rate of thirty cents on the dollar,
with interest after six months, but offering
no security whatever for the payment of
such notes.

State Prison Troubles.

Superintendent Bailey and Warden Lull
of the Vermont State Prison, have had con.
siderable difficulty since the election of the
former last fall. These difficulties culmin.
ated in the preferment of charges by the
Superintendent to the directors against
Lull. The directors exonerated Lull, and
severely condemned the course of Bailey.
Bailey refused to resign, and Lull conse-
quently was forced to. Bailey has got Lull
indicted before the Windsor county grand
jury, for alleged i'll treatment Of prisoners.
The case comes on at the present term of
the court. The directors of the prison
sustain Lull, and if they had the power
would discharge Bailey. The people of
Windsor, too, generally support Lull. We
trust that such legislation will be taken
next fall as will make the directors respon.
sible for the administration OF affairs at the
prison, and give them power to remove
such officers as they deem necessary for
the good of the prison. The present wran-
gle is unseemly, and is subversive of good
discipline and good order 10 the prison =

VERMONT AND MAINE STATE PRISONS.

The annual report of the Maine state
state prison, for the year ending November
30, 1875, has just been published, and q
comparison Of the statistics therein con-
tanned with those of Vermont may be of in
terest. We take, for that purpose, the
biennial report Tor the two years ending
August /, 1874. the last published. The
population of Vermont, in 1870, was $780,
SOL that of Maine 626, 951, being nearly,
but not quite, double that of this state
November 80, 1915, there were one hun
dred and foriy-eight inmates in the Name
prison against eighty-tive in the Vermont
prison, July 81, 1S74--or about the same
number in proportion to population.
The income of the Maine prison for the
year was S24,354 expenses $50, 05s.G 60 ;
balance against the prison S5,7Q4 60. The
income of the Vermont prison for the two
years was 1928, 33l expenses S25, 0S0.9 81 !;
balance in .taror of the prison So, $50. 90, of
which S2,33l, SO was for the last year -
showing about the same ratio Of income for
number of convicts and population, but a
very decided advantage in the economical
management of the prison on the part of
Vermont. 1t may be proper to say that
this favorable showing for Vermont was
before the days when the superintendent
was at cross purposes with the keeper,
when convc,s were produced in court MS
witnesses against the keeper, and when
jurors convicted keepers of criminal as
saul for exacing obedience from the in
mates Of the prison, and at a time when
discipline was enforced. The financial
success Of the new regime remains to be
seen
The Maine state prison was opened July
2, 1924, and the whole number of prisoners
confined therein since that time has been
two thousand one hundred and fifty-three :;
of which one thousand three hundred and
ninety have been discharged by reason
OF the expiration of term of sentence four
hundred and ninety-five were pardoned
nineteen escaped, and were not recaptured,
aud four have been executed, two of whom
were during the last year.
The Vermont state prison, at Windsor,
was opuned in 1909, and the whole number
of prisoners confined there has been two
thousand one huudred.and fifty-nine-only
six more In sixty-six years than Maine in
ffty-one years; Of these, twelve hundred

Taking the statistics together, and con-
sidering the difference in population and
the number Of years that the prisons have
been established, remarkable agreement
will be found between the two states, ex-
cept, perhaps, in the item of net income.
And so far as income is concerned, 1t is
proper to say that the Vermont state prison
has been self sustaising only during six
years of its existence-namely, IN 1851,
