NIGG4RDLY.

In another part of this paper is an
article taken from the Bellows Falls
Times which discusses intelligently
the attitude of the Vermont press
towards this state. 1t touches, by
implication at least, upon one of the
most niggardly traits of the COM
mOnwealth We refer to its treat
ment of the local papers. When
some politician wants an office and
there is no office for him, the Legisla-
ture creates one for his special benefit.
If there is a brace or trio of these
hungry fellows, as is apt to be the
case, then commission" is formed
with pay from five to eight dollars a
day and found" But when a ser
vice is wanted of the newspapers
they are expected to do it gratis; or
what is next thing to it, such mig
gardly sum as is appropriated for
publishing the laws, which in the
case of the Caledonian last year was
the magnificent sum of 81 cents a
column for solid nonpareil!
AS the Caledonian has intimated
more than once, it is about time that
both state and national Legislatures
were run by business men on bust
ness principles. The state and coun-
ty have been in the hands of the
practical politicians long enough.
The voters should bear this fact in
mind when they vote for senators
and representatives next fall

WHAT TO READ NEXT YEAR.

The prospectus of the Boston Jour
nal in another column will be read
with interest by the many readers of
that paper in this vicinity. Its
Washington news is the best in New
England, its supplements are filled
with interesting letters from all parts
of the world and its politics, as is
well known, are straight republican.
Scribner's magazine has made
hosts of new readers the past year by
its popular electrical and railroad
articles and its prospectus for 1890,
published on our third page, shows
that its publishers have outlined a
monthly banquet of choice reading.
1t is a magazine for all, entertaining,
enterprising and instructive.

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Congress met Monday with clear
republican majority in both branch
es, and practically for the first time
in Is years that party finds itself in
sure control of all departments of the
government. Congressman Reed of
Maine had been nominated in the
caucus Saturday for speaker and was
elected Monday, receiving 166 votes
to Carlisle's 1874 and Amos !. Cum
mings' 1. Only three representatives
were absent including Mr.. Randall.
The blind chaplain of the past two
Congresses, Mr.. Milburn, was re-
elected by a majority of four votes
after a vain attempt of the republic
can leaders to whip all their men in
to line for the republican candidate
Vice-President Morton presided over
the Senate and the new senator's
from South Dakota and Washington
sworn in.
The Presidents message followed
on Tuesday and our columns allow
but a brief summary of it.
President Harrison recommends a
revision of the tariff and additions to
the free list; pensions for honorably
discharged Union soldiers, now de-
pendent upon their own labor for a
maintenance, and by disease or casu-
atty incapacitated from earning it ;
national bankrupt law; national
grants for education.
OF special interest is the presidents
attitude in regard to civil service re-
FORM at will be my pleasure, as it
is my duty, to see that the law is ex-
ecuted with firmness and impartiali-
ty," says Mr.. Harrison. During the
year 1883, 1000 railroad employees
were killed and 10000 injured, Con
gress should require the use of all
railroads of safety appliances. At
tention of Congress is earnestly in
voked to the consideration of such
measures as will secure to all our
people, black as we'll as white, a free
exercise of the right of suffrage. In
regard to the surplus, he holds that
the matter should have the immedi-
ate attention of Congress, with a
view to reducing the receipts of the
treasury to the needs of the govern
ment as closely as may be. Secretary
Proctor's scheme of encamping sol
diers on the coast and practicing
them in artillery is good. River and
harbor improvements should be
pushed, but with discrimination
against works not of public welfare
Let us protect federal officials and
judges much better; vide the Terry
Field case; also protect witnesses
against intimidation The crowded
docket of the supreme court calls
loudly for more intermediate courts
Raise the salaries of the district
Judges. Congress should certainly
legislate concerning trusts.
He recommends marking of the
boundary between our country and
Canada; appropriations for mail ser
vice in American steamers for South
America, China and Japan; more
rapid work on our new navy; make
the Indian self-supporting and re-
sponsible citizen. School attendance
should be promoted by every moral
agency, and those failing should be
compelled"

LIBERAL WITH OTHER PEOPLES
MONEY.

Whatever the reader may think of
the criticism printed elsewhere on the
repairs of the court house III this
place, a good many will agree that
the writer hits the nail a square
blow when he discusses legislative
and corporate extravaganza. Ex-
cessive taxation, and the general and
protracted depression of Vermont's
great industry, agriculture, give
emphasis to this warning cry. AS
a rule people are much more lavish
with other peoples money than with
their own, and the rapid growth of
extravaganza in our state legislature
demands immediate attention from
the voters and taxpayers.
