lothian :. Rice was born in Westford,
Vermont, July 5, 1872, and died in West
ford, January IS, lSS6. He was the young
est child of Mr.. Samuel Rice of that town
who was strong man, Il sterling citizen
and patriarch in the community. The
mother of lothian was Il sister of Rev.
Martin Powell, SO long and favorably
known III northern New York and Yer
mont, and was every way Il proper and
hitting helpmeet for her husband. The
family consisted of four sons and six
daughters who lived to the average OF man

remaining member is still living near by
and in sight of the populous city of her
dead.
The subject of this sketch, lothian Rice,
was every way worthy of this noble
line. His nature was true, honest, kind,
genial and loving He was for many years
ii teacher in this region, and through life
was largely honored and trusted by his
fellow citizens. He represented the town
twice III the Legislature and held the
| Town clerkship for IA succession of years
He was leader of the choir through a large
part of his life and was always "A liberal

was the father of five children of whom
four died in childhood. One survives
him, daughter of his first wife, now Mrs
II. +. Partridge of Waukegan, Illinois.
This daughter ana her husband were with
her father during the last few months of
his sickness, helping TO care for him and
minister to his wants. Mr.. Rice's health,
never of a robust character, for the past
few years has been gradually and for sew
eral months rapidly failing. No skill of
physician nor care of nurse could arrest
its progress and its end was death The

THE REGISTRATION REPORTS.


where Is the Report for 1884?
10 the Editor of the Free Press:
The law of 1882 authorizes and directs
the secretary of State to contract for and
procure the printing and publication of
the registration Of births, marriages and
deaths of the State, annually on or before
the first day of October in each year. The
last publication Of the kind was for the
year 1888, was compiled by DR.. Nichols.
then secretary OF State. and presented to
the legislature of 1884. The next volume
comprising the statistics and other matter
for 1884 should have been published on or
before October, 1885, in compliance with
the law. The registration reports of Yer
mont have a value beyond our own iuris-
dlcton. They are sought after by people
of other States They have an increasing
value from year to year. They have been
published continuously for 81 years past,
Why should they be now discontinued d?
The state has generously provided for
their publication. Why has not the law
been complied with t? O.P.Q.

The Public Domain.

a bill has been reported in the Senate,
providing for the absolute repeal of the
preemption and timber culture acts, and
the amendment of the desert-land and
homestead acts. These acts were passed
when the impression prevailed that the
public domain was ineXhaustible, and
when it was the policy of the government
to get these unoccupied lands taken up
and settled on almost any terms. They
enable settlers to obtain deeds of portions
of the public domain for little or nothing,
and, in the present condition of affairs are
often productive of fraud The time has
passed when it is necessary for the United
States government to offer free farms to
pioneers. Government land is now worth
money, and there are plenty of honest men
willing to pay fair sums for homesteads in
what was once wilderness. But VIXEN
seeking to do so, they often find that the
land has been preempted in large tracts
by parties, whose only object is to hold
them until they can realize fortunes from
what has cost them next to nothing. The
department of the interior has recognized
the need of amended legislation to cor
rect these evils and hence the bill which is
before Congress-
Some startling revelations of frauds
practiced upon the government in the
taking up of public lands especially by
the MormOns in Utah, may be expected in
connection with the discussion of this bill.
ut has long been suspected" says an eX-
change, that the Mormons have acquired
their possession of thousands of acres of
Federal land in the few we'll watered parts
of Utah by means which were not honest
IN spirit, though they might appear to CON
form to the letter of the law" 1t is
said that the interior department
has in its possession evidence which will
constitute IA sufficient reason for the re-
appropriation of these lands by the United
States government. The surrender of
large tracts of land now in the Hands of
spectators and "land sharks" can, it is
thought, be secured in the same way The
bill is understood to have the approval of
the president, and is thought to have a
fair chance to become Il law.

Railway Construction

The american RdtlDdy Journal esti-
mates the number of miles of new railway
constructed in the United States during
the past year rs BIB. These figures refer
to the main track only exclusive of sec
ond tracks and sidings. The record
shows that the railway construction of
1885 fell below that of any pre-, ious year
since 1878. Beginning with 1879 the an
nual construction increased yearly up to
1892 in which year it reached the high
figure of 800 miles, and then steadily
decreased until the low-water mark was
touched last year. The journal, how
ever, thinks that the present year prom
Uses to show Il healthy increase in railway
construction, because the conditions.
which have for years been unfavorable to
enterprise in this direction, are appar-
emily changing. There has been an
over-production in railway construction of
late years, and the result has been precise
ly the same as when supply exceeds de-
mand i'll manufactures, or the products
of the soil. The time has now arrived
when 1t will be safe to again invest money
in railway construction, with the hope of
reasonably prompt and satisfactory re.
turns. 1t will probably, however, be a
long term of years before the country will
again see as extensive railroad building
as marked the period between 1879 and
1888.

The Bennington Battle Monument.

The victory at Bennington was won by
Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire troops, and it is now long since
recognized as fitting that these States
should unite in erecting Il battle monu-
ment at Bennington. Our own State, of
course, is willing to contribute the larger
share, and has appropriated for that pur-
pose the sum of $1,000. Massachusetts
made appropriation of s. 800 for the Ben
nn9tcn monument as long ago as 1877, but
the appropriation, not having been drawn.
the time has lapsed when the statute EN-
bodying the appropriations is binding
under he general laws of Massachusetts,
and new act of legislature is necessary if
Massachusetts is to do anything. Cover
aur Robinson has recommended renewal
OF the appropriation, and the Boston Ad-
GcriScr gracefully suggests that the pres
ent legislature should increase the sum
appropriated to $4,000. This would be Il
handsome thing to do, and we trust that
he suggestion will he followed. Should
Massachusetts appropriate so, 900 the fund
will aggregate some $50, OO0-which it is
estimated will build the tower or shaft 300
feet high, which is now agreed on for the
design. Unless however, the Battle Mon
ument association makes better progress
toward monument in the future than it
has in the past, there will be time enough
for the Massachusetts appropriation to
lapse again before the money is called for
In view of this contingency it is suggested
that the best way would be for the State
to create Il fund, for the purpose, which
can lie and be drawing interest, while the
Battle Monument association is getting
ready to do something The Boston JOur-
nal, AducrjScr, Springfield Republican,
and other leading journals favor the new
appropriation, and it will probably be
made

one after Che other, Mr.. Morrill, said that
he was not aware that any one questioned
the right of the Senate to ask for such in
formation rs was in the possession of the
government, and was needed to enable 1t
to act intelligently. There was marked
difference between the relations of the
Senate and the secretary of the treasury
and those it bore to the attorney general,
for under section 248 of the revised stat
utes the secretary was required to report
to the Senate in writing or in person when
desired, and could not, like the attorney
general, seek shelter under the preroga-
tives of the president. Mr.. Morrills reso-
luton was passed, the Democrats not vot-
ing and not taking part in the debate.

the fiscal year has been $50, 1901 $40, against
40, 600, 900 in the corresponding period of
the year before. The funded debt was not
affected last month, and the reduction was

and in the amount of silver certificates
outstanding, $3,400,000. The amount of
outstanding gold certificates increased

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.
Opinions of senators Edmunds and Nor

opinions OF senators Edmunds and Nor
rill and Congressman Grou.
The struggle in Massachusetts over the
biennial election question prompted the
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Record to obtain expressions of opinion
of the Congressman from the three north
ern New England States as to the work
ings and their personal opinion of the
biennial system since its introduction into
their respective States. OF the II Sena-
tors and Representatives from the section
named Congressman Stewart of Vermont
was out of town, Senator Hale of Maine
could not be found 1t will be seen that
the statements of the different members
vary widely. But the general opinion APP
pears to be that in none of these States is
there any real movement on the part of
the people to return to the annual plan.
In Vermont the new system was inau-
gurated III 1872, but Mr.. Edmunds is very
strongly opposed TO it, and so is Mr. Nor
rill, personally. They do not indicate that
the popular feeling, however, is hostile to
1t. They say briefly

Senator John Sherman has introduced II
big imitation bill 1t proposes, as a substi-
tute for compulsory silver coinage, that
the government shall receive and store
not less than 100000 nor more than 4,
100000 ounces of standard silver in bars
each month and pay for them in coin GER
tificates, which shall be.recelvable for all
public dues and be redeemable in coin
at the Office of the assistant treasurer
of the United States in New York.
This is palpable effort to carry water on
both shoulders. Mr. Sherman pro poses
to throw sop to the opponents of further
compulsory coinage, while he satisfies
the silver ring by keeping up the com
pulsory purchase of silver by the govern
ment The only difference is that it will
be kept in bars instead of in coin, while
the certificates will make an immense ad
dition to the paper currency. This may
be little better measure than the eX-
listing Bland act ; but it cannot be much
better. The result of either would be a
premium on gold.

Another arrangement of penalties not
quite so Anticipated in its nature as the one
proposed by Mr.. Kellogg to take the place
of those provided by the prohibitory law.
is suggested by correspondent. "Why
not" he asks, "fine the man who gets
drunk.Si0 or $50, and the leave the men
who sell it and make it alone ?" Our
correspondent Celebrates his "idea" as
follows: GAS our law stands, man goes
to one dealer and buys a pint, puts it in
his pocket, goes to another place and gets
few drinks. When the bartender tells
him that, he cannot have any more, he
usually gets angry, calls names, threatens
to have the dealer arrested, goes out,
drinks his pint, gets gloriously drunk and
is arrested. Then, rather than have an
offence against him, the man who sold
this man two or three drinks when he
was perfectly sober pays the culprit's fine
to swear to a lie. Now, if the buyer knew
that it was going to cost him $50 or a trip
to the Workhouse, the chances are ten to
one that he would have gone home sober"
Very ingenious, but very illogical Re
move the dread of the law from the liquor
seller, and you would remove the chief
safeguard which the community has.
You would throw the whole burden of re-
sistance to drunkenness upon the weak
will of the drunkard. He would newt
ably yield to the temptations placed in his
path by the INSCRIPTIONS dealer and in
creased penalties would not restrain him.
No. the law is right as ii is What is
needed is courage and fidelity to enforce it.
