Marsh o. Perkins of Windsor was an &C
tive member of the committee on education
in 1882, and is the man Of all men for chair
man OF the ways and means committee, Mr..
Dillingham's eminent qualification, for the
chalrmanship are universally conceded.
His position as tax commissioner during the
past biennial term has given him an ac-
quaintance with the practical workings of
the tax law possessed by no other. General
A. B. Franklin of Newfane is an expe-
rienced legislator, and is favorably spoken
of for the chairmanship of the committee on
military affairs or the committee on agricul-
ture. Mr. Abells knowledge of law and
legislative precedents make him promi-
nent candidate of the chairmanship of the
committee on claims. 1t will be hard work
to do the state injury under his watchfui
guardianship Mr.. Robertson of Rocking

wood Barrett of Rutland are good men for

ufactures. Few members of the house are
better acquainted with the practical opera
ton of the listing laws than Mr.. Brock of
Montpelier, and the grand list committee
would be worthily headed by him.
The Craftsmanship of the committee on
public buildings will be more important
than usual this session, for the reason that
something must be done for the better ac-
commodation of the state library. We sug-
gest Major Josiah Grout for the position.
He is a gentleman of good Judgment, who
knows by culture and experience what the
state needs, and he will be economical in
securing the proper accommodations. Either
Colonel Dean of Cornwall, Mr.. Douglass of
Whiting, or Mr.. Lewis Of Vergennes would
make competent chairman of the joint
committee on the reform school. In the
chairmanship of the committee on corpora
tons, if Mr.. Barrett of Rutland is not made
chairman of the committee on manufactures,
what better name can be brought forward2
The committee on elections is liable to have
some important cases brought before it, If
our democratic friends are in earnest in their
manifestations. One of the fairest members
of the house, with a good knowledge of the
law of elections, is Hugh Henry of Chester.
He will see that justice is done without fear
or favor. If Mr.. Stranahan of st. Adams
should be made the chairman of the general
committee, the "state would suffer no harm. y
The present legislature possesses good
material for committees, and the speaker
even If he does not follow our suggestions,
cannot fail of making good selections.

Montpelier Daily Journal.

In pursuance of custom the MONTPELIER
DAILY JOURNAL. the publication of which

Of 1884. 1t will contain full and accurate
reports of the proceedings of the general as
sembly, of the doings and reports OF COM
mittees and of all matters of local or gen
eral interest transpiring in connection with
the legislative proceedings. During the ses-
sions Of 1880 and 1882 special attention was
given to this matter, and the DAILY JOUR
NAL became the recognized authority in all
matters pertaining to the Legislature. Its
circulation among members and throughout
the state was greatly increased at each of
those sessions. For the session of 1884 the
JOURNAL will he materially enlarged, and
it will be printed on new type, increasing
the amount of reading matter furnished
and greatly enhancing its legibiity 1t will
be inferior to no other daily in the state in
the general characteristics of a wide-a-wake
newspaper and in its editorial discussion.
while in its speciality, state dRd Legislature
1elrS, il will have a decided superiority. The
publisher proposes to furnish a larger paper,
with greater amount of valuable and in
teresting matter, special and miscellaneous,
printed in better shape than at any former
session, and at the OLD PRICE of S150 per
SINGLE COPY for the session For five copies,
to one address, S1.25 each for ten copies, to
one address, 81 each.
THE VERMONT wATCHMAN.
Since the legislative session of 1882 THE
VERMONT WATCHMAN (weekly) has been
greatly enlarged changed to the quarto
form, pasted at the back and its pages cut
1t contains a large amount of well-digested
and carefully-edited reading matter on a
great variety of topics. Its news columns,
local and general, its miscellaneous matter,
its agricultural and editorial departments,
are all conducted in a manner that make it
easily the leading newspaper of the state.
THE WATCHMAN is published every Wednes-
day morning, and will contain full reports
Of legislative proceedings for the week end
ing Tuesday night making it a very desira-
BILE medium of information for those who
wish to keep fully posted on both state and
general matters. but who may not wish to
take the DAILY JOURNAL. Price for the ses-
sion, forty cents.
EB~ The reports Of legislative proceed
ings in the DAILY JOURNAL and THE
WATCHMAN are of an official character, be-
ing made up by persons appointed for that
purpose by the presiding officer of each
branch of the Legislature.
