A Reform Needed.

Hon. VIM. Chaplin of that county
will be the only member of the senate
of 'S4 who will sit in the senate of 'S6.
Ten members of the last house have
been reelected this year, viz: Rey-
nolds of Alburgh, Grout of Derby,
Randall of Glover, Howard of Tibet
ford, Rowland of POultney, Abel of
West Haven, Mayo (dem.) of North
field, Stanton of ROxbury, Benson of
AndOver, Piper of Cavendish and Eos
ter of Weston. Eight counties do not
re-elect a single member of the last
house. Now and then a member elect
has seen some previous legislative
service, either in the house or senate.
The loss to the state in thus refusing
to recognize the value of legislative
experience and in regularly discarding
each representative, as soon as he has
learned his business as a legislator, is
IA serious one Burlington Free Press.
A truer thing than this was never
said, and the evil and disadvantage to
the state from this source is so great
that it begins to attract the attention
and remark of all thoughtful men who
have had experience in our state af-
fairs. In the senatorial districts, as in
the two in Windham county, there
should be a rule of rotation which
would give each senator two terms if
he proved faithful and capable, and so
that only one new senator would be
sent from the county at each session.
In the election of representatives it
would be of the greatest possible adj
vantage to the state if a rule or law of
and election were de-
vised, as could easily be done, which

Shakespeare in a Hurry.

A little story concerning Edwin
Booth has just come under our notice,
saws the Buffalo Times. Once, during
the days of his early struggles, Booth
was "barn storming" down in Virgin
ia, at a place called Lees Landing.
The imprOvised theatre was a tobacco
warehouse, and it was crowded by the
planters for miles around. Booth and
his companions had arranged to take
the weekly steamer expected to call
late at night, and between the acts
were busy packing up. The play was
"The Merchant of Venice" and they
were just going on for the trial scene
manager came running in to say that
the steamer had arrived, and would
leave again in 10 minutes. AS that
was their only chance for week of
getting away they were in terrible
quandary.
"If we explain Matters" said the
ing cheated, and we shall have free
fight. The only thing is for you fell
lows to get up some sort of natural
like impromptu ending for the piece
and ring down the curtain. Go right

your cue from Ned here" and he hur-
ried away to get the luggage aboard.
"Ned, of course, was BassaniO, and
he resolved to rely on the ignorance
of the Virginians of those days to pull
him through all right. So, when old
George Ruggles-who was doing Shy
lock-began to sharpen his knife on
his boot, Booth walked straight up to
him and solemnly said:
"YOu are bound to have the flesh,
are you 2"
"You bet your life !" said Ruggles.
"Now, I'll make you one more Offer"
continued Booth Sin addition to this
big bag of ducats, III throw in two
kegs of niggerhead terback, a shotgun,
and two of the best coon dogs in the
state"
'I'm blarmed if don't do it |" re-
spOnded ShylOck, much to the appro-
baton of the audience, who were to-
baccO raisers and coon hunters to
man.
"And, to show that there is no ILL
feeling" put in Portia, "we'll wind up
with Virginny reel"
When they got on board the steam
er, the captain, who had witnessed the
conclusion of the play, remarked:
"I'd like to see the whole of that
play sometime, gentlemen. Pm blarm-
ed if | thought that fellow Shakes
peare had so much snap in him."

He Didn't Want to be Corrected.

Good Cheer.
The professor was showing n party of
ladies and gentlemen over some large
works at Birmingham, chiefly engaged
in the manufacture of complicated Op-
tical instruments. The party came to
a very ingenious instrument, the work
ing of which the professor proceeded
to explain.
In the midst of his exposition, a
roughly dressed young man, standing
near, struck in and civilly showed the
man of science that he was quite mis-
taken in his explanations of the in
strument.
The professor, whose weak point is
not an excess of humility, angrily
maintained his own view, but did not
succeed in convincing his opponent,
who finally shrugged his shoulders and
walked off.
"Who is that-that person ~ asked
the professor, Indignantly, of a work
man standing near.
"Oh, that is DR.. -" was the re-
ply; ''he invented that instrument YOU
have been looking at" Tableau.

Very Embarrassing.
PecE'S Sun.


A very laughable thing occurred on
train on the Northern division of the
st. Paul railroad couple of weeks
ago that has not appeared in print. A
party of chamber of commerce boys
had been to Winneconne for few
days fishing, and they had been hav-
ing more fun than the Indians. Any
joke that wasn't played on each other
natured and took the practical jokes
well, and they kept it up until they
got nearly to Milwaukee. There was
one commission man in the crowd, a
small man with piercing black eyes,
dark complexion and hair, trim fig
ure that looked ministerial in black
Prince Albert coat. He was a young
man that stranger at first glance
would say was either a young minister,
or a sharp politician, or may be a three
card monte man. His face was so
childlike and bland that he might be
anything, including mighty good
fellow. At Ripon the dark young man
shook his companions and went to the
smoking car and remained until Wau-
pun was reached. The passengers
were all talking about the state pris-
at every person who got ON at Wan
pun. At this junction the dark young
man threw away his cigar and came
when one of the .jOkers who can put
on a grave face got up and went for
ward to meet the dark man, taking
him by the hand and shaking it and
saying in a voice filled with emotion
w I fr
be the first to welcome you to the
world after your incarceration and at
the expiration of a sentence which |
learn you have considerably shortened
by good behavior"
The passengers all looked at the
poor young man with pity, while he
tried to diseugage his hand, and he
smiled a sickly smile, but his friend
looked him in the eye and continued
"In welcoming you again to the busy
world let me impress upon you the
importance of trying to lead different
stand by you, and while in the minds
of some there will be sort of preju-
dice against you because you have
served time in a penal institution,
that feeling will wear off, and if your
punishment shall have convinced you
that when you want a horseshoe for
luck it is not necessary to steal horse
with four shoes on, you can redeem
yourself and hold your head up. Sit
down with me and let us converse on
your future more quietly" And the
dark young man, his eyes flashing fire
and birthstone, was hauled down into
the seat, while the passengers remark
ed with sorrow on what wicked face
he had. The dark young man whis-
pered to his friend: Condemn you,
will get even with you if 1 have to lay
for you year." And the cars rolled
on to Milwaukee, occasionally a curl
GUS passenger looking around to see if
the bad man from Waupun was still
there.

THE CHICAGO RESOLUTIONS.

First. That the liquor traffic as il
exists to-day in the United States is
the enemy of society, a fruitful source
of corruption in politics, the ally OF
anarchy, a school of crime, and, with
its avowed purpose of seeking to cor
ruptly control elections and legisla-
ton, is a menace to the public welfare,
and deserves the condemnation of all
good men.
Second. That we declare war against
preme duty of the government to
adopt s1ch measures as shall restrict
it, and control it's influence, and at the
earliest possible moment eXtinguish ii
altogether.
Third. We believe the national
government should absolutely prohibit
the manufacture and sale of intOxicat-
ing liquors in the District of Columbia
and in all the territories of the United
States.
Fourth. We believe the best prac-
tical method of dealing with the liquor
traffic in the several states is to let the
people decide whether it shall be pro-
hibited by the submission of cOnstitu-
tiOnal amendments and until such
amendments are adopted by the pas
sage of local option laws.
Fifth That inasmuch as the saloon
business creates special burden of
taxation upon the people to support
courts, jails and almshOuses, therefore
large annual tax should be levied
upon the SALOONS as long as they con-
tinue to exist and that they should
be made responsible for all public and
private injury resulting from the traffic.
Sixth. That the republican party,
wherever and whenever in power, will
faithfully enforce whatsoever Ordi-
nances, statutes or constitutional
amendments may be enacted for the
restriction or suppression of the liquor
traffic.
Seventh. That we approve the ac-
ton of congress and of those states
that have done so, in providing for
teaching the physiological effects of
intOxicants in our public schools and
that we earnestly recommend to every
state Legislature the enactment of such
laws as shall provide for the thorough
teaching of such effects to our chill
dren.
Eighth. We demand that the re-
publican party, to which we belong
and whose welfare we cherish, shall
take firm and decided stand, as the
friend of the home and the enemy of
the saloon, in favor of this policy and
those measures. We pledge ourselves
to do our utmost to cause the party
to take such a stand. And we call up
on all temperance men and all friends
of humanity, of whatever party or
name, to join with us in securing these
objects and in support of the republic
can party, so far as it shall adopt them.
