THE LEGISLATURE.
Especial to the News and Citizen ]

Especial to the News and Citizen]
The makeup of the committees as
announced has given quite general
satisfaction, all concurring in the be
lief that Speaker Start handled the
difficult and delicate subject impair
TALLY and well.
Among the important bills intro
duced last week we find several in the
interest of securing relief from double
taxation; also a bill to exempt from
taxation, either State, county, town
or school, the so-called abandoned
farms and their occupants for pc
Rod of ten years, to encourage immi-
grafton; another asking for the sup
preston of all lotteries or distribu-
lions of prizes, made applicable to
church fairs and kindred organiza-
tions, fixing a fine for its violation.
Perhaps no one bill has attracted
more attention than that providing
for limiting the deposit of individuals
in savings banks and trust cOmpa-
MES to $500 instead of $500, as
now.
The school and highway laws are
receiving a fair amount OF attention,
so far as discussion among members
goes, and there is no question but
that both will be changed.
A petition with several hundred
names attached thereto was intro
duced from West Rutland praying
for the adoption of the weekly pay
ment bill. This has revived interest
in that direction, and the matter is
| likely to receive its full share of atten-
ton before it is decided.
The first bill to pass to its third
reading which is fixed for next Tues
| day morning, was that providing, for
the payment of all wages to the en-
| ploye by the employer where con
| tract exists, and is broken, in excess
of the amount of damage which the
employer may suffer in consequence
of such breach of contract.
Without doubt the most lengthy
bill of the session thus far is the one
introduced by Enright of Windsor.
bearing on theschool law. Owing to
its great length it will be difficult to
Judge of its merits until time is taken
to study its many sections and pro-
visions.
james of Waterbury introduced a
bill providing for the election of a
chief engineer to have charge of the
highways of the State, and to have
power to appoint deputies. The OBJ
ject of the office is claimed to be the
instruction of the people in the art OF
road making by the said Engineer
and his assistants
1t is hardly possible to estimate the
number of bills already in bearing on
the highway and bridge question.
That many of them are faulty is be-
yond doubt, and unless amended will
not receive much consideration.
The desire to excel in the introduce
ton of bills causes undue haste and
consequent loss all around.
The Senate, not to be OutdOne on
the highway question, has brought
out bill containing forty-two sec
tions, and is said to be complete
change or rather return to the old
highway system. If so it will receive
liberal support. L

The following provision, relating
to the final division of the estate, is
Of peculiar interest to the people OF
Woodstock and we give it entire:
'When the division comes it is my desire
that the Woodstock estate, less any portions
that may have been or may be sold, which
have so cherished and developed, and where
the family have had so many happy years,
with sOrrO Wful experiences. too, may be kept
in some way for many years, perhaps genera
lions to come, in the family and that all the
while it may be improved by additional pur-
chases of lands. by new roads, new planta-
tions of trees and new buildings, if they
should be needed, or will add to its attract
iveness. And as to such continued and pro-
gressive improvements. my executors and
trustees are instructed to keep them up
while the estate is in their hands"
When the estate is divided the chill
dren are to share equally, but if none
are living and leave no heirs. the es-
tate is to 90 one-half to the Universe
ty of Vermont and the other half
equally to the four Missionary Socie-
ties above named.

named, one in Woodstock, Franklin

Death of Justice Miller.

Justice Miller of the L. S. Supreme
Court was stricken with paralysis at
Washington last Friday, while on
his way home from court. He lin
gered until Monday night when death
ensued. By his death is removed
from the Supreme court of the United
States one who for nearly three de-
cades has held aleading place among
the occupants of that bench.
Justice Miller was born in Rich
mond, KY, April 3, 1916. was grad
mated from the University of Tran
sylvania and for time practiced as
a physician. He then studied law
and soon rose to eminence in that
profession. His anti-slavery ideas
led him to leave the South, and in
1850 he settled in Iowa, becoming
one of its Republican leaders, though
he refused all offers of political office.
In 1862 Lincoln appointed him an
associate justice of the Supreme
court, and for many years he has
been the senior Justice, Justice Field
coming next with one year less to his
credit Twice Justice Miller was select
ed for chief justice, but each time
considerations other than eminent
fitness prevailed. The last time was
when President Cleveland appointed
Melville W Fuller in obedience to
the wishes of his party In consti
tutional law Justice Miller has long
been regarded as unquestionablt
authority, and during the whole peri
cd of his service upon the Supreme
bench few if any important cases
and they have been many, have been
passed upon without the aid of his
experience and judicial ability. He
passed the time limit of seventy
years in 1886, but never manifested
a desire to take advantage of that
opportunity for retiring from active
duty. Until the blow came he had
rivaled his strongest associates in
vigor. In social life Justice Miller
has always been popular, and rich
and poor alike bear witness to his
unfailing kindness and courtesy. His
is a place in life which will be filled
with difficulty.

The SWedeS in Vermont

Reports from the Swedish colony in
the town of Peru, Vt, are very en-
couraging. The cOlonists seem salts
fed with their land and with what
they are doing. They have found
that they were not wrong when they
refused to trust the agents of some oil
the Western states, who represented
the land in Vermont as so poor that
ga rabbit had to take his luncheon
with him if he was going to cross a
field" That the Swedes are accounted
desirable settlers may be inferred from
the efforts which the Western people
are making to divert them from the
Eastern farms offered to them for al
most nothing by the states of Yer.
mont and New Hampshire. This
Peru colony, which, however, spreads
into other towns adjacent, brought
with them their Lutheran pastor and
have their services every Sunday as il
they were at home. The pastor farms
like the rest during the week, and con-
ducts the worship on Sundays. The
people seem exceptionally intelligent
and easily adapt themselves to their
surroundings.
