Gov. Page is said to be considering the
advisability of calling the legislature to-
gether in extra session in order that they
may accept the States share of the direct
tax which was refunded to the several
States by Congress recently. Nermonts
portion is between $4,000 and SlS0,000,
and the interest on this from now until
the next meeting of the general assem-
bly, would pay for the extra session and
something more. There seems to be a
fear in certain quarters that if the legis-
lature were convened it might tackle
other things-possibly the agricultural
college matter-and from no direction
comes Il very loud call for the special
session. The amount saved would be
small at best.

WHAT OF IT.

The Democratic newspapers OF the
country are in terrible state of mind
because of the alleged extravaganza of
the 5lst Congress. a statement prepared
bv the chairmen of the Senate and House
committees on appropriations and printed
in the Congressional Record shows that
the total sum appropriated was $685.
410,l20, or $40, ,446, ,269 more than the
appropriations of the 50th Congress.
By far the greatest increase was in
pensions-Sll3,3l ,35l SO; another big
item was the post office, over twenty
two million dollars, and still another,
of the navy. 1t is all very well to howl
for economy and to charge extravaganza
and all that, but in the face of these
figures such war-cries will not avail un-
less it is made manifest that the country
as Il whole disapproves of the large pen
sions, doesn't want the post office faciii'
ties increased and is not in favor of build
ing up the navy. If the people are salts
fled that they get the worth of theil
money, the newspapers might a-
well keep quiet. Nor is to be assumed
that because the expenses of the govern
ment are increasing from year to year
the men who hold the country's purse
strings are becoming reckless. 1t nee
essarily costs more to run big country
than a small one, and the nation is get
ting bigger every year.
The size of the appropriations, if they
are not wasteful, should be matter o.
pride rather than of sorrOwiEg to patrio
tic citizens, who may well feel prouC
that the country is able so literally t.
reward those who aided to preserve it
that it can afford the best of postal facili
ties and navy to defend its coasts.

There are, in Mr.. Phelps opinion,
three ways in which the depredations
may be stopped, and one or the other
must be followed soon: "First, by put
ting a stop, without further debate, to
the depredations of individual foreigners
upon the breeding seals. Second, by
conceding to these foreigners the right to
destroy the fishery and withdrawing fur
ther remonstrance. Third, by contiun-
ing the discussion with Great Britain of
the abstract questions supposed to be in
volved until the determination of the
seal is completed, and the subject of the
dispute thereby exhausted, for which we
shall not have long to wait"
Mr.. Phelps doesn't say in so many
words which method he would pursue,
were a settlement left to him, but his no.
ton about it is not hard to guess from
this paragraph:
If the case of the Alaskan seal fishery
was reversed; if Great Britain was the
proprietor of it, and American poachers
were attempting its determination. as Il
pretended incident to the freedom of the
sea; if a remonstrance addressed to our
government had elected the admission
that the acts complained of ought to be
restrained, but that the government for
political reasons was unable to effect it.,
it is perfectly certain that the subject
would pass very speedily out of the do
main of speculations in abstract interna-
tional law, and our government would
be apprised that if unable to restrain its
citizens from an outrage upon British
rights which it did not assume to defend,
the necessary measures would be taken
by the injured party to protect itself.

THE BsHRINo SEA QUESTION.

The noteworthy feature of the current
Harper's Magazine is the article by Hon.
f. j. Phelps of Burlington on the above
topic. He speaks, first, of the value of
the seal fisheries and of the habits of the
animals, which, while having IA fixed
habitation on the shore of Alaska, mi
CRATE yearly to the Pribyloff islands,
where their young are produced and
reared. If they cannot 20 INTO seclu-
sion to bree |, the race will speedily die
out. But in making the passage from
the mainland to the islands the seals
necessarily go through Il part of the sea
that is more than three miles from the
shore, and here it is that the Canadian
vessels fitted out for the purpose cap
ture and destroy them. As showing the
damage that has already been done Mr..
Phelps quotes from recent commune
cation of Secretary Blaine to the British
government, in which the secretary
says: "From 1870 to 1890 the seal
fisheries, carefully guarded and preserv-
ed, yielded 100000 skins each year. The
Canadian intrusions began in 1886, and
so great has been the damage resulting
from their destruction of seal life in the
open sea surrounding the Pribylofi is
lands, that in 1890 the government of
the United States limited the Alaska
company to 10000 skins, but the COM
pany was able TO secure only 2l,OOO
seals"
"The simple question presented" Mr.,
Phelps continues" is whether the United
States government has a right to protect
its property and the business of its peo-
pie from this wanton and barbarous de-
struction by foreigners, which it has
made criminal by act of Congress; OF
whether the fact that it takes place upon
waters that are claimed to be part OF
/ the open sea affords an immunity to the
parties engaged in it which the govern
ment is bound to respect. To the ordi
nary mind this question would not ap
pear to be attended with much difficulty

Town officials lereabouts are troubled
over newly-(iscovered hole in the
pre- sent school Law. 1t provides that the
selectmen of tie several towns shall
divide the pullicmoney among the dis
tricts on the Friday next preceding the
last Tuesday in Iarch." But it also pro-
vides that the eapIortionmento of the money
shall be made on the basis of the returns
of the district clerks. and the clerks are
given till the 3d day of April to make
those returns. Unless method of max
ing time turn backward in his flight, or
of backing up without turning. can be
devised, the law will need amendment.

A disposition is manifested by some of
the State papers to start in right of on
the campaign for governor in 1892. Col.
Hooker has already been suggested by
one of them, and the st. Johnsbury Re-
publican loudly hints that its town has a
man. The people as whole do not ap-
business yet. and they are entitled to Il
few months of peace and quietness after
the Typewriter assaults of the last cam
paign.

The Springfield Republican is con-
WINGED that the suggestion of this paper,
that before the Australian ballot law is
so extended aS to cover all elections in the
State the friends of tae new law should
make clear wherein the new is better than
the old means that 1.-THE Repu lican party
in northern New England has fallen into
pretty bad hands" We are sorry the
Republican should take our expression
of opinion so much to heart, and we beg
to assure it that the Republican party is
not in bad hands. But there are few
people up here who do not go wildly in
pursuit of every new scheme that is label
ed reform; they desire to learn in what
particular new schemes are better than
old before adopting them, Vermonters
have voted for hundred years in sub
stantially the same way, and no one has
questioned the honesty of the votes so
cast, with the exception of a cranky cor
respondent of the Argus up in Lincoln

The report comes from Washington
that Senator Edmunds will resign as SEN
ator before the next meeting OF Congress
and that he is to go upon the bench of
the supreme court. The State papers
are inclined to look upon the story as
without foundation, but there are we'll
informed people who believe that Mr..
Edmunds' resignation is not altogether
improbable. Should he take that step,
there would be IA lively scramble among
his would-be successors. 1t is even hint
ed that Secretary Proctor has an eye on
the place.

in all those year.. so far as we know.
But, nevertheless, to please few who
are enamored of reform, in whatever
guise it comes, tie demand is made that
a new plan be adopted. If it is an i'm
provement, it shduld be adopted, but we

1854, and the annual production of gold
in the territory is about 500, 900.
