School Laws.

Out of all the talk concerning Yer
mOnt's educational affairs there seems
little likelihood that any radical
change will be made by this legisla-
ture. Mr.. Marsh of Woodstock has
introduced a bill providing for the APP
pOintment by the governor of a COM
mission to examine the school laws of
the state, and which shall make re-
port with recommendations to the
next legislature. This bill meets with
general favor as it insures a thought
full consideration of the question. That
something must be done is generally
admitted. 1t seems to us that the
adoption of the town system is one of
the steps that should be taken, but
the question is of such Importance that
Mr.. Marsh's bill may be and probably
is wise way out of the present diff

Temperance Legislation.

We shall be surprised if out of all
the temperance talk and all the pro-
posed temperance legislation at Mont
pelier any real good comes. What the
temperance people of the state de-
mand is that it be made more difficult
to sell and to buy intoxicants-that
both selling and buying be prohibited.
There is law enough already. Devise
some way to secure its faithful en-
fOrcement and then will be time
enough to take further steps.
We have already called attention to
Gov. Ormsbee's suggestion that the
prohibitOry law be so amended that
the penalty providing for a first con-
victiOn should include a short term of
imprisonment as well as a fine. Such
action, we are satisfied, would bring
about more practical good results than
anything that will come of the new
bills that have been presented. In
deed, we often incline to the opinion
that all this talk is only used as a

WATERFORD.

George Green was much surprised
by the unceremOniOus call of about Is
of his neighbOrs and friends Tuesday
evening, reminding him that it was the
twentieth anniversary of his marriage.
After very pleasant evening spent in
social chat they left with him some
$25 and many articles not Enumerated.
Mr. Green served three years in the
war, was in twenty one battles and
skirmishes, twice wounded and had
many other narrow escapes. At one
time ball went through his haversack.
If reports are correct he was true and
faithful soldier. The wounds and ex-
posture tells on his bodily health and is
worthy of more pay from the govern
ment.

Indeed, no man appears to enjoy the

whose blue swallOw-t tail coat and pol
ished brass buttons are the attraction
of the house, fact of which the wear
er does not always seem unmindful.

Death of Mrs. Woodward.


The death of Mrs. Woodward, noted
in this column last week, was under
particularly sad circumstances. About
a month previous to her death she
took gas to have some teeth extracted
which affected her in such way as to
cause blood poison and her body and
limbs to blOat to a great extent. I'm
til within few days of her death she
had been able to be about the house
and her death was not expected so
soon. For the past fortnight all the
rest she got was while sitting in a
chair as she could not breath lying
down. A few moments before her
death, however, she expressed a de-
sire to lie down and on doing so ex
pired. Mrs. Woodward was the oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Geo. Webster
of Danville and was 33 years old. Flu
neral services were held on Friday at

The debate was quite a spirited one,
considerable discussion arising on the
amendment of the committee "But
this act shall not include as voter
any woman who is not tax payer in
the city, town, village, school or fire
district where her vote is offered"
Senator Bunker said that he was not
opposed to women voting but was in
tensely opposed to the amendment.
He could see no justice in it and no
reason why discrimination should be
made. Senator Bates said that he ad-
vised the amendment and thought it
put women on the same basis as men,
"but without the amendment we do
not know upon what basis we are
pleasing the women" With it he was
in favor of the passage of the bill.
Senator Swain favored the bill with
out the amendment. Senators Pierce
and Baker followed in the same strain.
Senator Foster favored the amend
ment.
After further discussion the amend
ment was adopted, II to IL, Bates
voting yes and Bunker no. The final
vote on the bill as amended is given
above. Had there been some one in
the senate who took as deep an inter-
est in the bill as did Judge Poland in
the house it would probably have be-
come law. But the women can wait,
in fact they will have to.

The Argus never does things by
halves. In this weeks issue is given
a sketch of st. Johnsbury politics that
has decidedly chestnutty flavor to be-
gin with, and closes with an account of
how Col. II. G.. Fletcher defeated Gen.
Ide in the latter's contest for the quar-
ter-master generalship. Says the Ar
gus:
Mr.. Fletcher entered the field vigOr-
Ously in behalf of the election of Col.
Gilmore, and the colonel was elected.
We do not hesitate to say that Col.
Gilmore owes his election to Mr..
Fletcher. We think he could have re-
elected Gen. Ide, but he did not choose
to do SO, and under the circumstances
his action was entirely justifiable.
