eur or ornatoness, but its perfect symmetry
and graceful outlines please and satisfy the
eye. In short the building its the state and
is a source Of pride to every vermonter who
looks at it. We sincerely hope the commits
sion have not consented 10 plan which will
destroy this effect but we we do not see
how II can be otherwise.
We suspect the event will prove that this
is another instance Of penny wisdom and
pound foolishness. Fifty thousand dollars
was asked for TO build a state library build
ing The APPROPRIATION was finally cut to
$50 900, and those most interested in the
matter finally said they could get along
with this reduced sum. 1t probably proved,
on going into details, that $3.50, 900 would not
erect suitable independent building, and
this annex is the resulting make-shift COM
promise. The facts OF the matter are that q
state library building was imperatively need
ed $50 600 was not too much for a build
ing TO cost, and that sum or nothing should
have been provided for it.
Rather than allow something TO be done
which must always be unsatisfactory, and a
mongrel monument OF offence alike TO natural
instinct and cultivated taste, the commission
would much better have let the whole matter
go by default, and report to the next legislature
that the sum appropriated was too small for
the purpose intended. The case is not SO
vital or urgent that a further delay of two
years would be disastrous, and it is not yet
too late to retrace false step.

adopted by the commission by a majority

munda,

from the Burlington Free Press, 9Th instl
The name of Hon. John W. Stewart, NJ. c.,
has been mentioned in recent publications as
in the field, or about to be in it, as a candi-
date for the United States senate. 81 have
noticed such statements" said Mr.. Stewart to

two since, land authorize you to say that
am not nursing any senatorial boom and
that l sm not and will not be candidate for
the senate against Mr.. Edmunds The pub.
lie welfare, in my opinion, demands the re-
tention of Mr.. Edmunds. He is the most
influential man in Congress-the longest
headed, the most industrious, the most trust
ed. His long experience, intimate acquain.
lance with the legislation Of the last 10 years,
practical wisdom, acknowledged honesty, and
his strength as q counsellor and debater
make him power at Washington. How in
Auential he is there can hardly be understood
by those who do not visit Washington. Those
who do, know the truth of what say 1t
would be regarded as public calamity there,
and among intelligent men all over the coun-
try, il the people of Vermont should fail to
return him to the senate, and do not be-
lieve they will fail to return him. We have
no man who can fill his shoes, and he would
be a bold man who should present himself as
Mr.. Edmunds's successor, il he should be de-
feated. Be he who he may, he would be sub
jected to most unfavorable comparisons. The
opinion of the value of Mr.. Edmunds's ser
vices to the public, and especially to the Re-
publican party, to which allude, is not CON
fined to personal or even political friends. 1t
is shared by men of our party who do not like
Mr.. Edmunds personally, and I have heard
intelligent and influential Democrats say that
Mr.. Edmunds could not be spared from the
senate. 1t is not time when the Republican
party can afford to dispense with leader and
supporter such as Mr.. Edmunds is and if
there are Republicans in Vermont who do not
care about retaining the position and H. flu
ence which our state now possesses in Con-
gress, they should regard the interests of the
party at Washington and at large, and be care
full about taking any false steps, in matter
of such Importance"

So far as can be learned from private
sources of information we judge that the
weight OF individual and public opinion in
the state is decidedly adverse to the decision
of the state library commission to build the
new state library building at Montpelier as
an annex Of the state house instead of an
Independent building by itself The mem
bers of the legislature, who voted for the bill
making the appropriation, understood almost
to man that the measure specifically con.
templated an independent building. The
subject was thoroughly canvassed among the
Legislators and their opinion was almost unan.
imously opposed to the erection of the build
ing az a wing or annex of the state house.
But the commission by a majority of one
have decided differently. The plan which
has been adopted eontemplates a building
standing eight feet in the rear Of the west
wing of the state house, which brings it in
close proximity TO the boiler and engine
house and directly under or against the high
steep hill which rises abruptly only few feet
in the rear of the state house. This annex
will be "A by As feet in size of this "A feet
of length % feet will be behind the west
wing and the remaining 81 feet will project
beyond it toward the west and in full view
from Main street.
The chief objections urged against sthis
plan by the legislators were three in num-
Der first, that such an annex cannot be built
without marring the present admirable and
very perfect architectural proportions of the
capitol second, that the lighting of libra
ry building 80 located must inevitably be bad
on account of its proximity to the state
house and the high hill already mentioned
and third, that building in such location
will be very damp in spite of every preeau-
ton, exposing the books to serious injury
from this source.
All these objections would seem to be we'll
taken and unanswerable. With regard 10
the lighting it is well known that it is almost
impossible to see in representatives hall in
the capitol after o'clock in the afternoon.
without artificial light, because of the emf
nenoe In the rear, which shuts off the sun
lights what the result will be in building
standing still nearer the hill and partially
shaded by the state house on the opposite
side it is not difficult to imagine. But to us,
and at this distance, the most apparent OBJ
lection would seem to lie in the ruinous eff
feet which must be produced on the Archi-
tectural proportions of the capitol by putting
what will practically be an extension of Afty
feet on 10 one wing. The state house as il
now stands is a simple, dignifed, massive
structure. II makes no pretensiOn to grand.

EX-GOV. Hall on the Bennington Battle
Monument.

Ex Gov Hiand Hall, who will be 90 next
month, has addressed letter to his fellow
members Of the Bennington battle monument
association, advocating the erection OF mon
ument of magnitude and grandeur, in Opposi-
ton to that recommended by the committee
OF design, which was to be composed mainly
of bronze statusry. The venerable vce-pres-
ident is able. at his advanced age, to make
an argument so clear and pertinent, temper
ate in tone and vigorous in its English, that
il would have done credit TO him when he
was quarter of a century younger. He pre-.
sents the argument perfectly against Wer's
design in pointing out its close resemb lance
to many OF the soldiers monuments through
out the country, which by bronze figures at
their four corners properly signify the gener-
al characteristics Of the war; but the propri-
ETY. of such plan vanshes when it is applied
to commemorate an isolated important event
like the battle OF Bennington. The commit
tee, says Mr.. Hall, 'have failed to mark the
battle as a distinguished event. worthy of
special remembrance, and have thereby rem
dered the alleged story telling power of their
structure of no value. story without listen
ers would be valueless. Standing among
the hills bordering on the Green mountains
away from populous cities and towns, and
without any conspicuous object TO call atten.
ton to 1t, the voice of any small soulptural
structure, however artistic 1t might be, would
be sounded in vain for the want of an audi.
ence to hear it," This is unAnswerable. Ex-
Gov Hall is sure that the directors will find il
80, and will come TO the conclusion, with the
people of bennington, that the only suitable
monument to the event of the battle must be
one OF conspicuous Dimensions. He mentions
as the right place for such a monument the
northern brow Of Bennington hill where stood
the old Continental store-house, which il was
the object of Burgoyne's expedition to cap
ture. Gov. HallsOpinions have special weight,
for various reasons, and not the least OF these
are the facts that he was born within 20 years
after the battle, near its field and grew up
among men who were engaged in II thGt he
has been student and historian of those times,
and has always looked forward to its fitting
commemoration.

Galignani's Messenger of May 10 contains
an account of a brilliant farewell banquet
given in honor of Hon. l.. P. Morton, late
United States Minister to France by his fell
low-countrymen at the Hotel Continental,
Paris, on the l4th ult., on his retirement
from Office. The assembly is said to have in
cluded almost everybody who, on the other
side of the Atlantic, might be considered as
representative men of this country, while
the presence Of the lineal descendants of
such heroes as Lafayette and De Rochambeau,
and the additional circumstance that the
guests comprised some of the foremost poit-
ical personages in the France of to. day, i'm
parted an international character to the gath
ering which must have been highly crafty
ing to its organizers, as tending, above all,
to cement the amicable relations uniting the
democracies Of the Old and the New Worlds.
MIR. Morton is a gentleman of great wealth,
highly cultivated and accomplished in mind
and manners, and has represented our gov
eminent with great honor to himself and
his country and enjoyed universal popularity
in the French Republic during his entire
ministry. Vermonters are proud of his dis
tinction, for he was born in Shoreham and
has always had genuine pride in and afTec-
ton for his native state
The Paris Morning News in its issue of the
day following the banquet said
1.-The honors paid to Mr.. Morton yesterday were
hitting conclusion to perhaps the most successful
reign ever enjoyed by an American minister to
France 1t must not be supposed that the tribute Of
fered to the departing minister last night was the
consequence OF precedent. 1t was, in fact, novel;
ty. Mr.. Morton has endeared himself to the Ameri-
cans IN Paris as few ministers have. His relations
with the French people and with French ministers
have been undoubtedly most cordial but it is his SER
vices to his countrymen his encouragement to every
American enterprise, his hospitality, and his fidelity
TO every American interest-charitable, diplomatic
and commercial-which aroused the outhurst of feel
ing last night Mr.. Morton will carry with him to
his American home the grateful remembrance of his
tellow-etlzens in France, and no future honors will
be considered by them too lofty too well deserved
