THE APPoRrIoNMENT BILL.

Congressman Taylor Thinks Congress Has
the Power to Pass it.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Congresslnan
J. d. Taylor, Of Ohio, who is a member
of the house committee on the eleventh
census says that he believes congress has
power to aid clause to the apportion-
ment bill to prevent gerrymandering of
election districts by state legislatures.
Il believe that congress has full con-
troll over the states in the matter of
Federal elections, said Mr. Talyor to a
reporter, "and as we already have a law
that says districts shall be continuous
and shall be compact, we certainly car
provide that district shall not have
more than 5000 or 1900 majority either
way. These shoestIing districts, by
which one man is sent to congress with
u IL, 900 or $4,000 majority, in order that
in another district man may be chosen
by select few, is disgrace, and be-
lieve congress can prevent it.

THE FINANCIAL FURRY.

The past week has seen a lively
furry in the financial world, started
not by specializing Americans, but
by the greatest banking house with
one exception in the world, Barring
Brothers of London. 1t has trans
pired that the Earrings have been
dealing largely in South American
securities of highly speculative char
acter and that this has brought them
to the verge of ruin. The fact has
also come to be realized that, with
all that is said against American
speculation, the financial business of
this country is on a more solid and
conservative basis than that of Eng
land. The British investor, losing
patience with low rates of interest,
has been reaching out into specula-
tive fields with more rashnesS than
the American, who has acquired
better knowledge of the laws which
govern even so lawless a thing as
specula ton. 1t has been inevita BILE
that many firms should go down in
such feverish excitement as that of
the past few days, but the financial
sky seems to be gradually clearing
and the danger of panic is for the
present averted.

A USEFUL MANUAL.

In his Legislative Handbook re-
lating to the Preparation of Stat
utes," just published by Houghton,
Miff1in & Co. of Boston, Ashton r.
Willard has met a great need of
legislators in all our states. The
book is a compilation of provisions
relating to the preparation ofstatutes
in every state in the Union and in the
national congress. 1t is remarkably
compact and comprehensive and con-
siders the title, preamble and enact
ing clause of statutes constitutional
provisions affecting the body of
statutes; the repeating clause and
clause of taking effect; the amend
ment of bills and statutes; law-mak-
ing by resolution; language of stat
utes and details of form; the COM
mon statutory expedients; special
legisla ton and substitutes for special
laws; and chapter on the publica-
ton of statutes. Such a work as
this should be of great service in
checking the errors resulting from
ignorance OF the technical require
ments in regard to statutes. Such
errors have frequently resulted in
abortive legisla alton for which this
handy manual of reference should be
a remedy. The book shows in it's
less than 800 pages the evidence of
painstaking and exhaustive study of
constitutions and statutory enact
ments bearing on the subject. A
book which every legislator ought
to have and which every citizen who
has occasion to be interested in
legislation, as most Americans have
sooner or later, will find useful for
reference. Mr.. Willard does not
need to be introduced to Caledonian
readers. People up here take espe-
cial pride in all the admirable work
he is doing

Word comes from Montpelier that
the important measures of the ses-
sion, having been held back until
the last days of the session are now
rushed in when there is not
time for sufficient elaboration. Gov.
Page should scrutinize carefully every
bill that is sent in to him at this
stage and veto reckless and i'll
considered legislation, not in the in
terests of the people.
The corporation tax law ought to
have been undergoing the careful at
tention of the legislature long since.

Plea YUNE ECONOMICS.

Will the legislature adjourn with
out remedving its blunder in defeat
ing the worlds fair appropriation
bill That is a question people to
whom the picayune economics of the
states lawmakers are subject of
amazement are asking. This body
of men who leave their work undone
and waste their time, at an expense
of hundreds of dollars to the state,
by adjourning from Friday to Mon
day afternoon each week; who fur
ther waste the states time by going
on a junket to Barre with no earthly
object of use to the state; who are
fruitful of schemes to cut down every
official salary but their own and
refuse to give Vermont that full rep
resentation at the Columbian expo
sition, which would be worth in
advertising the resources of Vermont
far more than thirty thousand
dollars.
The Legislature had better recon-
slider its decision for the people of
Vermont are fast reaching the con-
clusion that the most expensive lux
ury the state has had for many a
day is this same Legislature of 1890.
The people want economy in state
expenditures but they are tired of
picayune economics; tired of that
kind of economy which consists in
storing ones gold in a stocking and
burying it in the back yard, instead
of in pruning useless expenditures
and putting out money wherever it
will bring a good return. There is
no extravaganza in fair appropria-
tiOns to represent the state at a
great worlds exposition, or to found
practical agricultural college
There is great extravaganza in
unnecessary legislative recesses and
Iunkets.

THE NAGEE INTER VIEW.

The comments of Christopher l..
Magee on the result of the elections,
especially in Pennsylvania, printed
elsewhere in this paper, rise above
the expressions of a mere politician.
Magee has been looked upon up this
way more as one of the latter class
and as the astute rival of Quay than
as a patriot and a statesman. Per
haps injustice has been done him.
Certainly his quoted words make it
appear so. His opinion of the lesson
of the republican defeat and of the
possibilities of the party are so fully
in line with the position taken by
the Ca1edonian last week that we
take special pleasure in quoting his
words.
There is especial truth in what Mr..
Mage has to say of the impossibility
under present conditions of nominal
ing for the presidency a real leader
The leaders demolish each other and
the party falls back, of necessity,
upon mediocrity. Then mediocrity
becomes the tool of designing politi-
clans instead of a party and national
leader. This in brief is the history of
Harrison's nomination and election,
Quay's domination, and the result
ing party defeat.
Mr.. Magee is right again when he
names the antidote for 1892 to cure
the party ills-"a strong man of in
dividuality and power upon a plat
form liberal enough to satisfy the
whole organization"
