The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1890-10-30

The state legislature is supposed
to be abont half through its biennial
work, and matters are fairly well adj
vanced. The Senate developes no
antagonisms and has yet shown very
little animation, but that body will
keep up with the House easily and is
likely to have its controversies before
the session ends. There have been
introduced in both houses nearly 17C
bills, and reports are being made with
good speed. Uuder the new rule the
time for introducing bills ends this
week, and there will of course be 6
large number put in before Friday:
adjournment. They will include
moreover, large proportion of thos'
about which controversy is likely t,
arise.
The House had its first serious
controversy last week over Mr.
| Thmopson's law in regard to liquo
prosecutions, and has shown goo'
working disposition. Especially no
ticeable is the fact that private an,
local bills of little Importance are re
ported and got out of the way. Th
danger is that delay will bring a rus
of importent matters at the last mo
ment, but it is not yet possible t
guess how it will be in regard to that

it is so generally connected. If my

the argument that woman was deprlv-
ed Of her rights by an arbitrary edict
was played out in the garden of e.
den, when the old fellow came along
and found our mother trimming her
plants and told her that that kind of
business was all "taffy ad libitum ad
nauseam," and that she would never
amount to anything as long as that
edict covered single tree; now l
presume the old lady didn't under
stand latin any better than l do and
she thought trimming plants was dis
graceful and would lower her stand
ing in the set, so she trampled the E.
dict underfoot and ate and went to
work at fashionable dress making.
Paul says she was deceived, and |
am fool enough to believe it, J. S. L.
or not, for she was excused from the
dirty work Of the political fields that
many christian men turn from with
disgust. She is excused from the ne
cessity of digging hole through a
'stiff beard to get food to her mouth,
and she is excused from carrying a
sword and an old musket, all of which
is put upon the shoulders of man be-
cause he sined willfully.

An Admirable CycIopedia,

We are pleased to note the appearance
of the nineteenth volnme of the admira-
BILE Alden's Manifold Cyclopedia 1t was
apparent from the first that this was to be
the Cyclopedia for "the people, and each
succeeding volume emphasizes the great
superiority of the work for popular use
over its far more costly competitors. 1t
is remarkably comprehensive. The fields
of literature, science, art, and of all
knowledge are thoroughly CLEANED. The
topics are ably treated, many Illustrations
are given, and vast amount of informa-
ton is condensed into small space. The
articles are written by experts in their
various lines and are carefully and skill
fully edited. The results of the latest
discoveries and inventions appear, many
of the subjects being brought down al
most to the date of issue of the volume.
Among the important topics treated in
| this volume we notice Home Rule in Ire
land; Homestead Entry, and the Home
stead Laws for all the States; HomGo-
pathy, nearly pages; Hops Horology
Horse. Horse Racing, Horse Shoeing and
Horse Tanning; Hospitals, pages; How
ard University; Hydropathy, over six
pages; Hypnotism, pages; Hysteria
Ice; immigration, with valuable stats
tics; Imports and Exports, with figures
for the United States covering l0) years
Indians, pages; Induction of Electric
Currents. pages. In the line of biogra
phv we find articles on Homer, Hood
Horace, Howard, Howells, Hugo, Hum
boldt, Hume, and Hunt; while among tn,
countries and states noted are Honduras
Hungary, Iceland, Idaho, Illinois, Indi,
35 pages, Indiana, s pages, and Indian
Territory, including the opening of Okla

NermontlF FISHERIES.

The commissioners strongly urge
that the state should be provided with
hatchery for trout and other fish.
Under present conditions it is not
practicable to meet all the growing
demends for brook and lake trout and
land-locked salmon, BY the plovis-
ion of suitable Matching establish
ment the output could readily be
made to fill all requirements and at
reduced expenses. The anglers of
the state and others who visit Ver-
mont for the fishing are organizing
movement to supplement this rec
ommendation of the commissioners
by further appeal to the Legislature,
and there is little doubt that Vermont
will shortly be as well equipped as
are her sister states in this respect.

Vermont has always been noted for
magnificent scenery, but at no time of the
year does it present more lovely appear
ance than during the month of October.
The English language is inadequate to
describe the beauty of the autumn garb
of variegated hues. The mountain cloth
ed in all the grandeur imaginable are un-
surpassed in their loveliness, presenting
to the human eye panoramic view which
the scenic brush of the most gifted artist
cannot initiate, and which no other coun-
try can excel in point of splendor. Spir.

1t is true that the House rejected
free coinage by vote OF al to

with the majority felt themselves
bound by the Republican caucus
action to support the bill which
passed. The bill will now go TO
the Senate, and if that body shall
change it SC H.. 70 provide for free
coinage it will Ieturn to the House,
and the question will be whether
the House will agree to the Senate
substitute. Upon that question
there has been, and probably will
be, no caucus action TO embarrass

win the day. The roll call demon

THE CENSUS AND CITY POPULATIONS

Representative WILLIAM M. SPRINGER
points out in the December Forum that the
population of the United States has in
creased between 1880 ana 1890 from so, 000,-
600 to O., 5000 or about 26 per cent. De-
Quoting the urban population, the increase
of rural population is found to be only per
cent, while the increase of the urban popu-
lation is more than IS per cent. This clas-
sifcation OF urban population includes only
cities of 5000 inhabitants and upward. If
the classification should embrace cities of
1900 inhabitants and upward, it would I'M
doubtedly appear that the rural population
had decreased during the decade while the
total increase would be in the cities. This
general result has been brought about not.
withstanding the immense increase in pop
ulation in the rural districts in extreme
western states, such as the Dakotas, Min
nescta, Nebraska. Kansas, Arkansas, and
Texas
Table showing the increase of the total
population of several states and the in
crease of the city population:
