The Duty of Listers.

Attention should be called to pro-
vision of the laws of Vermont which
is often disregarded, or violated 10y
the listers. Section of the laws re-
lating TO the grand list says that the
taxpayer, in filling out the inventory,
sshall take and subscribe the oath
contained therein - and the listers
are authorized to $50 administer the
OATH" 1t is, we know, the practice
of some listers, to omit that part of
the requirement known as "the taking
of the oath" on the part of the tax
payer, merely requiring the latter to
sign his name to the inventory.
Sometimes the question is asked, ''Do
you swear to this ?" But this cannot
properly be construed as "adminis-
tering" the oath. The question arises,
does not lister, by such neglect to
confirm to the requirements of the law,
render himself liable to the penalty
prescribed in sections 20 and 80 of
the laws relating to the grand list?
c. w. Porter, Secretary of State, in
a recent letter says: 'sThe words
take and subscribe the oath In the
listing law require two distinct acts
the taking of the oath prescribed by
law before the listers, or any person
authorized to administer oaths, and
the subscribing of the oath by the Off
cial upon the inventory made by him.
The law, in my opinion, contemplates
and intends that the oath should be
administered and taken with as much
solemnity as in judicial proceedings,
and that it should be administered in
substantially the form prescribed by
law."-Free Press.

A Republican member facetiously
remarked that the fervid manner in
which the blind chaplain of the House
of Representatives offers daily invoca-
tions indicates that he sees what ap-
pears to be invisible to the majority
the imperitive necessity for earnest
prayer in 8 Democratic House. DR..
Milburn seems to have made an i'm
preston on the rather unusual con-
gregation over which he is called to
preside. Formerly no attention was
paid to the chaplain's utterances, but
now members rise to their feet, and
listen attentively to the morning
praery, which is always brief, simple
and direct. DIR. Milburn visits the
members of the House as other pas
tors visit their congregations. Quite
a number of the Congressman are
Catholics, with whom the chaplain is
as popular as with the Protestants.
Forty years ago DR.. Milburn first Of
fciated as Chaplain of the House.
Ten years later he was appointed for
the second time, and another interval
of thirty years finds him in the office
again, commanding the respect of
that body to an extent that is consid-
cred remarkable.

when himself, now thought that the
need of Good Samaritan was actually
necessary, he repaired to the Court room

mercy to this one who had fallen into

Deen wisely adhered to by the then
guilty man. 1t was ON his return home
from this errand of mercy that his
morse became unmanageable and Mr..
Burr was thrown from his carriage and
badly injured: Under the skillful treat
ment OF the Dr., Mr.. Burr was made
quite, comfortable, but it was long
time before he could attend to business.
we then wondered whether or not we
should hear the whistle of his steam
mill summonlng the workmen to their
respective posts of duty, but that won
derment was done away on the third
morning after the accident. Mr.. Burr's
son Byron, feeling he could safely en-
trust the care of his father to others,
repaired to the mill and with his accus-
toned energy and skill took the place of
father and son and pushed the business
with such rapidity as to cause the father
to eXclaim - Well done ~ Why Provi-
dence suffers accidents to befall those
who are out on errands of mercy, we
cannot tell, and are compelled to resort
to the words of another for comfort, and
say
"Why should sinful mortals try
To question wisdom from on hIgh?"

Mr.. Edmunds made very broad

explore at any and all times every
nook and Granny of the executive
offices and acts. The liberties of the

THE STRIKERs.-The crop of strikers
never seemed so abundant as at the
present time. There seems to have been
a preconcerted action among those who
are at the head of what is termed 1.-The
Labor Movement" Railroads seem to
be suffering most, which, in many
places, leave their freight trains side
tracked, laden in many instances, with
decayable freight. What is to be the
end of this suspension of business it is
impossible to say. In a few instances
concessions have been made by employ
ers but these are comparatively few.
Generally these strikes have reacted on
the strikers but this concert OF action
throughout the country presages some
thing more serious than has yet occur
red. For the good of all concerned 1T is
to be hoped that harmony between the
employers and the employed may be
soon restored.
