The Extra Session.

The legislature met on Tuesday of
last week in extra session, and ADJOURN
ed on Thursday after having discharg-
ed the duties for which it was called
ed together. In the meantime ii was
visited by the President of the United
States,-an event which is entirely new
in our history. The direct tax was
accepted and turned into the state treas
ury, proceeding that viii probably
satisfy more people than any other dis
position of the money could have done.
The st. Albans public building matter
was disposed of. This was of local
rather than of general interest. The
amount appropriated to the Columbian
Exposition was raised to $1,000. 1t
was thought that Vermont could not
reasonably do less if she did anything
at all. The $4,000 appropriated at the
regular session seemed to be too small
to count. The State can now put up a
suitable building and Yermonters can
feel that they have at least a right to
attend the Fair. This amount will not
impose heavy burden. Various 9th
er matters Of local character were at
tempted and some were accomplished.
Ten bills were introduced into the SEN
ate and thirty.three into the House,on
" few Of which became laws. Most
of these bills were trifing amendments
to existing laws to make them more eff
ficient. The new ballot law was made
an object of attack when Judge Powers
told them it was all right. The results
of the session are generally satisfactory.

wide acquaintance Within and things
and OF mature Judgment. Such men
may be found among farmers, though
they are rare among those farmers who
are so poor that the necessities of their
situation keeps them continually grind
ing at the mill. We talk about select
ing man from the people, but we
want man who stands in range with
the highest and best of the people. 1t
is to such men we look for administra-
tive wisdom. We place confidence in
them. Not many of us are willing to
trust men of our own social and intel
leetual rank with great responsibilities.
We don't want cheap men for any office.
Give us the best that can be found.

Pres. Harrison's Visit.

President Harrison has completed
his trip through Vermont. The pro-
gram was carried out as arranged with
no accidents to force changes. He was
everywhere pleasantly and cordially re-
ceiyed. He made numerous short adj
dresses of character that has made
him popular with his party and silenced
all but the petty criticisms of his oppo-
nents. Some of the mugwnmps now
ask, what was he here for! They I'M
agiue some mysterious political signiii-
cance in these movements, as though
the Chief Executive could not indulge
in little recreation without mixing 1t
up with deep laid political schemes. We
may be blind, but we prefer to see no
dark plots. Mr.. Harrison was never
more popular than now. Many YER
moniers saw him who never saw
President before and very likely will
never see one again. If the republican
party sees fit to nominate him again for
President we shall vote for him Just as
readily as we did before. We do not
think it worth while to attempt TO force
any issues. When the proper time ar
rives the general sentiment of the par
ty will not go far wide of the mark IN
the choice to be made.

ALast Word.

The case of Almy has occupied much
attention. We have last word unless
there be new developments. During
the war soldier of Mass. regiment
came home on furlough. So Impress
ed had he become with the insolent and
rebellious spirit of Southern women,
that he observed that he had one more
thing to be thankful for, and that was
that the devil was not woman. There
is one thing that we can be thankful
for, aud that is, Almy was not born in
Vermont. While we are boasting of
our great men, fattening our pride in
the contemplation of their names and
their acts, we should not perhaps for
get that some OF the meanest men that
ever lived call Vermont their native
state. But Almy is not one of them.
He may have exhibited some of his de-
pravity in our towns and villages, some
Of his kith and kin may have dwelt up
on our soil. but he is not native. We
have not noticed any eagerness on the
part Of cities in pressing their claims to
be his birthplace. Let US keep right
on boasting of the men and women OF.
Vermont who have won honors the
country over, the shadow of this strange
moral abortion will not tall upon the
record. 1t brings light and peace INTO
our hearts to think Of it.
