Lawyers in the Legislature.

We do not quite sympathize with the
cutlery against lawyers in the legisla-
ture.. We trust, in the election of rep
resentatives, that some of the best
legal ability of the state, trammeled by
no retainer from corporations or indi-
vidual interests, will find its way into
the legislature. There is need and
work for such representatives. Among
other things, it must not be forgotten
that decisions of the United States
supreme court, since the enactment of
the corporation tax law in 1882, have
knocked out the legal underpinning of
that law so far as the statute relates to
the taxation of railroads. In respect
to the railways the law stands by suf-
ferance rather than by virtue of a valid
legal foundation. The revision of this
law will therefore devolve upon the
legislature to be elected in September
The questions involved are legal, and
the work must be performed by law
yers. So it is important that there
should be sound legal talent in the new
legislature. This is matter that
should be carefully looked after in the
election of representatives. Important
matters relating to taxation in general
will come up for consideration and
decision. 1t must be borne in mind
that amendments to the constitution
may be proposed to the next legisla-
ture, and this is matter in the con-
sideration of which legal ability and
experience will be especially needed.

Press Notes.

JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY was a man
OF heroic mold and nature: brave adj
venturous, patriotic, enthusiastic with
the per .fervidum ingeniu,n which be-
longs quite as much to the Irish as TO
the Scotch. We have been proud of
him as an adopted citizen. feeling
always that his native land could III
spare so noble son. His poems show
what he might have been had he de-
voted himself to letters. His HIGHER
claim is that he was true and courage
GUS lover of his country and of his
fellow-men.--Oliuer Wendell Holmes.
THAT was a significant utterance of
Department Commander Cogswell of
New Hampshire in his speech congratu-
latlng COMMANDMENT Veazey.
81 believe" he said, "that from this
moment the Grand Army of the Re-
public takes on a new phase. Com
mander Veazey is not candidate for
president Of the United States.' There
is good deal of meaning to this re-
mark, which those who have been
inclined to think that the Grand Army
was mixing up little too much in
politics will appreciate. boston Herald.
THE election of Colonel Wheelock
Graves Veazey-as the Dartmouth Col
lege catalogue of 1859 puts ito be
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army
will send a thrill of Joy through the
State of Vermont, which never loses
any honors for want of the asking.
The distinction was sought for Judge
Veazey before his appointment to the
interstate commission, and there are
men up North who could have been
persuaded to share this Vermonter's
abundance of favors had their number
been foreseen. But the old soldiers
have made choice of a man of modest
nature and solid worth, who will meet
the responsibilities of his office with
dignity and ability.-Sprinqfeld Re
publican.
WHAT is the occasion for the de-
mand for State Superintendent Palmer's
head, which we notice is being made
by two or three newspapers in the
state? If the charge that he is incom-
petent is correct let them show that
this is fact, and he will undoubtedly
step down and out. 1t is noticeable.
however, that these charges come from
newspapers which have never taken
any particular interest in educational
matters, while on the other hand some
of the best educators in the state highly
compliment the superintendent upon
his work thus far. The law under
which he has had to act is a new one.
and undoubtedly he has had TO take
most of the blame for its deficiencies
as well as for the minor mistakes for
which he may have been responsible in
his new position. The superintendent
as well as the new law will, we believe,
be given fair trial before sweeping
criticisms are offered by those who are
honestly interested in the advancement
of education. -Burlington Clipper.
