MAY NOT BE OPEN.

There are those who argue that be-
cause of the more than abundant rains
during the past three months the winter
is bound to be an open one. But Mr.. IL.
r. Barrows of New Haven, speaking of
the prospect the other day, said that 26
years ago this fall it rained incessantly,
and yet during the winter the snowfall
was extraordinarily heavy. So that it
doesn't appear to be safe to rely upon
good wheeling from now till April.

A CHANCE FOR REFORMERS.

There are in the country number of
Job lots of reformers who are without
business. They aim at civil-servce and
other nonsensical reforms. and no one
will listen to them. But they might pro-
fitably turn their attention to matters
outside of politics, secure hearing and
perhaps do some good. Here, for in
stance, is this English language, the
spelling of which is sadly in need of
reformation according to Prof. March,
who has suggestive article on the sub
ject in the current Forum. Investigations
made in England show, he says, that 720
hours at least are lost to each scholar
and that an Italian child of nine years
will read and spell as correctly as Eng
lish children at thirteen, though the ltal-
ian began his lessons two years later.
The Germans and Swedes, too, are al
most as we'll off as the Italians, and give
the time gained to the study of econom-
les. The professor attributes the illiteracy
of English-speakingp people to this difficult
ty in learning to spell. There were in the
United States 5,65S, IA persons of ten
years and over who reported themselves
illiterate at our census of 1870, 6,239,9
at the census of 1880. In England the
state of things is as bad; while in the
other Protestant countries of Europe
there are almost none who cannot read
and write. The professor concludes that
" the reform of spelling is patriotic
and philanthropc reform There is
much to be said in support of his view of
the case and little to be urged for the
maintenance of the absurdities our writ
ten language now presents.

THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

The biennial session of the State legis-
lature came to an end on Wednesday
morning of last week. 1t had continued
the number of days usual in recent years,
81 The bills which became laws num-
bered something less than $50; the num-
Der introduced was GAS. OF these, many
were of no great consequence except to
individuals or towns. The important
measures of the session were the school
bill and that Incorporating the Maritime
Canal company of Nicaragua. The school
bill was amended to considerable ex-
tent, and it is to be feared that the bill as
originally drawn was not improved upon.
The Nicaragua canal is likely to be the
only waterway across the isthmus, the
French scheme having failed; and to
have incorporated the company which
Joins the two oceans will be a lasting hon
or to Vermont.
The temperance legislation, too, was
noteworthy. The strongest provision of
the new laws is that empowering chan
cellors to close as nuisances places where
liquor is sold at any time, whether court
is sitting or not, upon proper complaint
being made. The first offence of selling
is now punishable by Imprisonment as
well as fine; the possession of a United
States license is to be taken as primd-tdcie
evidence that the proprietor is selling il
legally, and nolle-prosequis are not to
be allowed by the court without good
reason. If the prohibitory law as now
constructed wont prohibit, it is doubtful
if it can be fixed so that will do the busi-
ness.
The appropriations of the session were
large, but none of them appears to have
been needless or wasteful. The State tax
was made 20 per cent, in place of II per
cent two years ago, in order to meet the
increased demands upon the treasury.
The law providing for commission to
investigate the manufacturing and agri-
cultural interests of the State and suggest
means for bringing about improvement
ought to bear good fruit. There were,
of course, other measures passed which
will deserve attention.; but inasmuch as
we shall print-probably next week-a
supplement containing all the public acts
of the session, 1t 10 not worth the space
to enter now upon further details. 1t
may be said, however, that in general

the work of the session was well and u-
dicously done; and, while, with the pos
sible exception of the school law, no very
sweeping changes were made, there were
manifestations of progress and no law
was enacted which will be source of
regret to its promoters.
