HoUsE-AFTERNooN.
The discussion on II. 1S9 was continued.

mtted and it was so ordered. Ii. 66, atl-
thorzing the compilation of the probate

Pdssed.-H $50, relating to the appoint
ment by the governor of a state geoogist;
II. IS, TO pay Charles Stiles SS6.67; II, 10,
to pay George d. Human the sum named;
Ii. 277, making an allowance of $500 to the
widow and family of deceased, when the
property does not exceed said sum. s. As,
appropriating $4,000 for the soldiers home
of Vermont
Mr.. Abel said: st hardly seems to me
advisable for asolder to receive a bounty
from the state in addition to the one he re-
ceives from the United States. If we es-
tablish this home it will be langushing, be-
cause the soldiers whole do not desire
it. 1t is simply scheme for parties who
want to be officers of the inittution."
Mr.. Mansur 81 deny the charge that
the bill was drawn for private purposes.
The receipt of pensions is not that of
bounties, as minated. There is great need
of a home, the construction of which has
not been delayed by negligence on the part
of the commission, but to enable the trust
ees to obtain valuable piece of property in
Bennington, where they voted to locate it."
Mr.. Flagg of Braintree moved that the
bill be ordered to lie, and the house refused.
Mr.. Smith of Vershire said " that the rea-
son why the commission appeared to have
delayed was because they could not
get possession of the desired property at an
earlier date. Still they had not been idle.
The $4,000 appropriated by the legislature
of 1884 had been invested with good secur-
ity at four per cent"
Mr.. Barney thought that it was disgrace
to know that soldiers of this state were in
the poor-house.
