law, the railroad commissioner has made re-
port, and 1 invite your careful inspection of
1t for the ascertainment of many details
pertaining to one of the leading and import
ant-and in some respects, the most inn
portant-interest of the state. As part Of
his report the commissioner says, I'm my
Judgment some additional legislation is re-
quired in order to make the Office of the
railroad commissioner of practical use to
the public" implying, at least, that this
office, under existing laws, is of no practi-
cal service to the public. This conclusion
is doubtless in accord with the popular SEN
tment on the subject but ] am unable to
fully adopt the proposition. The report of
our able commissioner is in my opinion of
great value, and this office has secured it
to you. This much at least, has been
gained by and through the office. Under
existing laws prescribing the duty of the
commissioner he is required to report
what further legal provision should in his
opinion be adopted in relation to railroads"
In the performance of his duty in this be-
half, the commissioner makes several inn
portant suggestions, which may be prop
erly treated as recommendations, and in
view of their official source, they are en-
titled to great weight, and merit, and
doubt not will have, your earnest considera-
ton. In connection with, and as part of
this subject, l call your attention to the not
unvexed one of

CATARRH is very prevalent and ex-
ceedingly disagreeable disease, liable,
if neglected, to develop into serious
consumption. Being a constitutional
disease, it requires constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which,

To avoid repetition ask your indulgence
and request you to took to the retiring mes
sage of my predecessor for history of this
patriotic undertaking Looking to this
source, you will find, / assume, reasons
sufficient to prompt on your part any
proper action that will tend to forward the
work and hasten its completion. am in

ment has been agreed upon aud selected by
the association. 1t is also represented that
in order that the work may 90 on without
delay, further legislation Is necessary in
the direction OF securing to the association
or to the state a legal title to such land as
may be requited for site. trust that you
will give this matter such consideration as
is necessary,-and that you will have in
mind the fact, that the patriotism of the
state is somewhat involved in this SEEM
ingly sluggish enterprise.
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
1t will be your duty, and to which in
wife your attention, to elect United States
senator from this state to succeed the Hon.
George f. Edmunds, the present incum-
bent, whose term of Office will expire on
the 4th day of March, 1887. The laws of the
United States providing for the election of
senators require that this election should be
made on the second Tuesday of the session.
CONCLUSION.
Gentlemen In conclusion, / am moved
to again impress upon you the importance
of the duties that devolve upon you as the
chosen representatives of the people; and to
earnestly request you to bear in mind how
desirable and consequential it is that you
should as early as possible enter upon the
practical work of the session Heretofore
much complaint and many murmurings
have been heard because of frequent adj
journments. This practice should not be
encouraged. Intended measures of legisla-
tive action and consideration should be
matured and presented as early in the ses-
sion as possible, and be supplemented by as
much dispatch of business as is consistent
with that care and caution necessary to Sc
cure correct and wise results. This course
of action can be best secured by giving to
our business here the same industry, watch
fulness and faithful service and attention
that we give to important affairs at home.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

There has been much legislation in refer
ence to or connected with this subject of
railroads, mostly, however, / venture to
say, in aid or protection of them, yet in the
main, necessary, wholesome and just. The
idea that at this time there is occasion for
further legislation on the subject, and that,
too, in the interest of the public, prevails
very generally. And by consulting the re-
port of the commissioner, you will notice
that his suggestions or recommendations
are numerous and important. This report
did not come to me until very late, conse-
quently my opportunity for consideration
of it has been quite insufficient to enable
me to do more than call your attention to
it, and to impress upon you its Importance.
Should you so legislate as to meet the
recommendations of the commissioner, you
will, in my opinion, accomplish much
towards meeting the proper demands of the
public. These recommendations have my
approval. But it is said that further legis-
lation on this subject cannot be effective
save by creatinga

GETTYSBURG.


The battle of Gettysburg was fought on
the LIST, I'd and Sd days of July, 1868, and
it has come to be considered as the pivotal
battle of the war. Its field was, as it were,
in front of and at the very portals of the
nations capital and of the gates of the large
cities of the North. The results of this
battle were more than glorious to the Union
cause. The Army of Northern Virginia I'M
der Lee was then and there turned back,
routed and defeated, never again to make
or undertake an aggressive campaign. And,
in the results of that battle was buried the
last hope of the Confederates of foreign in
tervention; and in the possible realization
of that hope lay the greatest danger to the
Union. Thence on to Appomatox there
was scarcely a doubt as to the final result.
The intrepidity, the valor and the blood of
the Union army at Gettysburg Went very
far towards placing the seal of ultimate
success and safety upon the national ban
ner; and of all that noble Union army of
about eighty thousand men, none bore
more valiant or significant part than our
own brave boys-the three regiments that
were in action, of what was best known as
"Stannard's Brigade" My words are en-
tirely inadequate to fifty portray their valor
then and there displayed, and | need not
here undertake to tell you further of the
potency and importance of their action. 1t
will suffice for me to say that historians
! and accredited writer's give great promi-
/
by " STANDARDS Brigade" Many of our
sister states have erected on this field of
blood monuments to mark the spot or place
and to commemorate the valor of their sons.
/ am incredibly informed that there are
now on this field nearly or quite hundred
monuments and tablets. In April last the
state of Ohio by an act of its general as
sembly authorized and made provision for
the 4" erection of suitable memorials and
monuments commemorative of the deeds Of
the soldiers from Ohio who fought on this
| battlefield" at an expense of about $1,000
An inquiry has been made from within and
without the state why Vermont has not
and does not there erect such monuments.
The noble Stannard who there won inn
perishable honors as the commander of the
organization, and two of the three regi-
mental commanders, Colonies Randall and
Nichols, have, as you know, been fully mus
tered out, and only Colonel w. G. Veazey
remains of the commanding officers To point
out the spot and tell the story. | recon-
mend that liberal provision be made for the
early erection of a suitable monument on
the battlefield of Gettysburg, to mark the
spot where the soldiers of Vermont rendered
such signal service to state and nation, that
| it may not become matter of doubt, and
to commemorate and perpetuate their pat
! riotism and valor

and investing it with enlarged powers and
authority over railroad affairs, even to the
extent of fixing and regulating the toll or
rate of transportation. And believe that
the object and ends of further desirable leg
slation can be best secured through com
mission, and that the existence of a com
mission invested with such powers and
authority as are given to like boards in sew
eral of the states, Massachusetts and New
York for instance, would go far towards
curing or removing all real or fanced griev-
ances. And experience in other states has
demonstrated that where competent com
missoners, properly empowered, have made
examination as to alleged grievances, and
upon finding them real and well founded,
have made such recommendations to the
railroads complained of as the board deemed
called for, there has been, with rare excep-
tons, prompt and ready compliance with
the recommendations of the board, and this,
too, where the board is powerless to enforce
it's recommendations The commission, if
one should be created by our legislative
action, should doubtless be empowered and
required to report to future legislatures as
to all complaints received, examinations
and recommendations by it made, and also
what, if any, further legislation is required.
Another question about which there is some
diversity of opinion is, should the commits
sion have power given it to apply to the
courts for the enforcement of its recommen-
dations In my opinion such power should
not be given without providing that the
court applied to shall not enforce such rec
concentrations, unless, or only so far as it
(the court shall find them just and reasona-
BILE. That the legislature has power in the
premises to the extent suggested have no
doubt, but this alone is no reason for exer-
cising it, While / believe that the interests
of the public require Legislative action in the
direction above suggested, / feel certain
that many of the honestly entertained
grievances of the people against our rail-
roads and their management are not well
founded, and that some of the most impor-
tant of their complaints cannot be success
fully reached short Of or without national
| legislation, such as was sought through the
interstate commerce bill. In confirmation,
quote with pleasure from the message of
my accomplished predecessor, Ex-Governor
! Barstow He said upon this subject: " M
! board or legislature can reach outside the
! state, and much that is wrong in these mat
tiers is the result of the great national and
continental system, controlled by immense
and consolidated wealth, system in which
Vermont roads are as drop in bucket a
link in chain. tits power so great that
are forced to Join or strengthen it, or
perish. - Legislation on this subject by
you will be, | am sure, entered upon and
considered without any feeling of antaga-
onism. Our railroads are managed and
controlled, perhaps without exception, by
some of our most public spirited citizens

promises to be for the good of the state, as
any, and who are thoroughly loyal to hei
every interest.
