THE LEGISLATURE.
OPENING OF THE EXTRA SESSION AT
MONTPELIER YESTERDAY.

An Extensive beginning in the Way of
General Legislation-A Number of Bills
Introduced in Both Branches Large
Attendance of Members
MONTPELIER, Aug. 25.--The night and
morning trains swelled the number or legis-
lators so that there were only 10 representa-
tives and one senator absent when the two
bodies wero called to order this morning
There was liberal sprinkling OF visitors at
the State House and the half hour before
10 O'Clock was occupied with an interchange
of greetings.
Spenker Mann called the House to order
at 10 O'Clock The chaplain, Rov. a. d.
Hough of Montpelier, conducted devotional
exercises. In his prayer the chaplain re-
ferred fittingly to the members WHO nave
died since the last session. Clerk Stlckhey
called the roll and out OF the 230 members
22l answered to their names. After the
usual preliminary business, outlined below,
tie first breeze Of the session came, as was
predicted in this correspondence yesterday,
over a resolution offered by MIR. Proctor OF
Proctor that nothing except matters re-
ferred to in the governor proclamation be
considered al this session. Messrs. Billiard
of Underhill ard Peck of Hnesburgh
thought that there might lie other import
mt matters which it would be we'll to con-
slider. For instance, the former thought the
House might want to pass vote OF thanks
TO the express companies for the manner in
which they had paid their tax under the
corporation tax law. On motion of Mr.
Peck the resolution laid on the table
with no opposing votes.
The Senate too voted down n resolution
against any general legislation, but did re-
solve that it would be we'll to adjourn sine
die next Thursday. Subsequently bill to
incorporate a railroad was introduced and
referred.
The hood-gates, which admitted general
legislation, were opened after dinner and a
number of bills were introduced. None of
them. however, need require any extended
discusotsp.

ScOft's Sub-'Treasury.

The new book of lecturers, Scott
on the sub-treasury plan as endorsed
in the platform Of the Peoples party
at Cincinnati, is a complete and
wonderfully clear and comprehen-
sive statement and argument. 1t is
certain to become the standard
work on that subject. Henceforth
no speaker or editor can afford to
discuss this question without first
giving this book careful perusal.
Bro. Scott is the best qualified man
in the states to present this subject.
He has studied it in all it's phases,
and he writes honestly, calmly,
graphically and convihcingly.
1t is a book for the multitude as
we'll as for the philosopher. 1t is
book that every one should read.
No one can afford not to read it.
The fact that as it's pages went to
press they passed under the eagle
eve of j. G. Hubbard adds immense
ly to it's value and will place it's
utter reliability as to facts and
figures absolutely beyond a ques-
ton. 1t is the most valuable book
of the decade.
Well printed on good paper, over
one hundred pages, with diagrams
showing how to build, etc.

Some lime ago, we spoke of the
peddlers of ranges who are doing
this county. We advised our read.
ers to patronize our home dealers,
who live here, pay tax and help to
maintain our county government,
and who, besides, sell as good, or
better, goods for much less money
than is asked by the peddlers. The
AGIrAroR is the only paper in the
city that refused to publish the adj
vertisement of the "wrought-iron"
ranges, for reasons given above.
Notwithstanding our advice, the
people Of this section have pur-
chased five carloads of these ped
dlers' goods, paying for wrought
IRON ranges Just twice as much as is
asked by the home dealers for
wrought-srEEL ranges. You will,
almost invariably, save money by
dealing with the home merchant, be-
sides keeping your money at home.
About two weeks ago, when

Cherokee country, viewing the

them but, upon learning their bus
mess, the gentlemen were released,
and they Immediately left the Strip.
Immediately, the papers all over the
country published the news of the
arrest, adding that among other
things, the company was charged
with using the mails for fraudulent
purposes. We have made inquiry
into the matter, and find that the
latter charge is utterly groundless.
The company have consulted the
highest authorities, and find that
they have violated no postal law,
nor any other law. The whole
thing appears to be a scheme OF a
Wichita company, who were trying
to "head OFF, the Garnett and Chi
