1t is, to say the least, open to
doubt whether the efforts OF this
people to govern themselves arr
sufficiently frequent to be of much
consequence; whether there is much
basis for strength and development
in the system in vogue for the last
two decades. The trouble with the
last Legislature was not lack either
of ability or Of honest purpose; ii
was almost wholly lack of training
for the business Of legislation
Coupled with this was want of &C
qaaintance and Of trust in leaders
Now if government is worth any
thing at all, it deserves the. utmost
care on the part of those who live
under it, and the business of gov
eminent should be conducted by
those who know what they are
about. The fact that the State is
small does not alter the case; it is
just as important that a third Of a
million people should he able to al
minister their governmental affairs
wisely as that FIVE millions should
The Register takes the most
charitable view possible of the re-
cent Legislature when it says that
it was a lack of experience and not
of ability that led to many of the
blunders perpetrated and mistakes,
and the conclusion the Register fl
nally reaches represents feeling IN
the State that is increasing. Here
il is:
TO put the thing briefly, the de-
fects in Vermont legislation are due
primarily to the biennial system
and there will not be the best gov
eminent of which the people arc
capable in Vermont till yearly scs
sions are restored.

contempt ated-The short Jobs
in the Blu. inrss Per,ian.

Considerable inquiry has been made as
to the meaning of the Aid. Knox resolu.
ton adopted at Monday nights council
meeting dividing the contract for paving
Taird avenue and Nineteenth street and
Commercial alley into paving districts.
There is two-fold purpose in the reso-
luton. First it is to enable the contrsc.
tors who shall be awarded the contract to
draw pay for work completed at stated
Intervals when a portion of the work is
done, instead of being obliged to wait as
heretofore until the entire contract is
fulfilled. Another object is to facilitate
the work. as giving the council the
opportunity to let the undertaking 10
sections to d different firms if it shall be
deemed fit. ard thus pushing the work
simultaneously.
The propos ton to pave Seventh ave-
nue. as suggested at the meeting Monday
night, meets With much favor, and if the
council carries out the id ca held by many
of the aldermen now. the improvement
will extend from as far down as Ninth
street through to E m street, aud perhaps
TO the Moline line. 1t would be splendid
plan. and not only afford a substantial
street for driving in the resident portion,
but encourage building in localities where
houses are nov scarce.
Many of The aldermen lave taken
kindly to the suggestion of paving East
and West Seventeenth from First to Sec-
ond. and of FIT enth and Sixteenth
from FIRST to Third, and an ordinance is
likely to be presented or asked for at q
meeting in the near future. The improve.
ment can be made without the city bear.

The death Of this well known and de-

all the more sad from the fact that a few
years ago an older brother died of the
same dread disesse at about the age of
Louis at the time of his death. And for
three or four years it has been growing
more and more apparent that the same
disease was sappiDg the life of this, the
only remaining son. Everything that
medical skill, money and loving care
could do was in vain to stay the progress
OF the destroyer, and after months of the
most intense suffering, borne with a
patience, cheerfulness and bravery that
has been the constant wonder of all his
friends, ceath came to his relief, and
truly it was relief although it casts over
the parents the gloom of childless old
age, aud over the whole community that
sorrow which attends the removal from

cheerful, honest. yet Interpretations life.
will cause him to be sorely missed.
