NEW HEALTH OFFICER.

Since the visit of the state board
of health the selectmen have APP
pointed DR.. Henry c. Newell health
officer for the town of St. Johnsbury.
1t will be his duty to look up all
nuisances and report them to the
selectmen, to investigate any con-
tagious diseases and recommend
means of preventing the spreading
of the same, and to preserve as far
as possible the healthfulness of this
community. St. Johnsbury has been
comparatively free from contagious
diseases in the past, but there is
plenty for a health officer to attend
to and his recommendations ought
to be followed out.

BASE BALL GOSSIP.

The most interesting and exciting
game of the season was played on
the campus Saturday between the
Newports and St. Johnsburys. AL
though the weather was threatening
there was a good attendance. The
battery for the home team was
Shufelt and Gauthier, and Shufelt
pitched good ball during the whole
game and was we'll supported. The
excitement reached its highest pitch
when Meigs was at the bat and two
on bases. The catcher threw the
ball to third, but it was not caught.
This gave killiher chance to pass it,
and he was nearing the home plate
when third basenan returned wild
ball to catcher which passed through
long enough to allow both Kelliher
and Blodgett to score. 1t was a
hard fought game from beginning to
end, and the home team we'll earned
their victory by a score of to 4.
The summarized score:

The Thomson-Houston Electrics of
Lynn play the St. Johnsburys to-
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
This team is one of the strongest
amateur mines in New England and
can play ball in fine shape. 1t will
be contest which every lover of the
national game will want to see.
Manager Blodgett is constantly
receiving offers from leading New
England clubs who want to come up
here and cross bats with the ST.
Johnsburys. There is a possibility
that the Holyokes will play here
next Thursday, July 80.
Tomorrow game with the Elec-
tries promises to be one of the best
of the season. The celebrated Ban
nan brothers will constitute the bat
terry for the visitors, while the ST.
Johnsburys will have Smalley and
Clark. Kelliher and Joyce of the
Dartmouth Varsity team will play
with the nine this summer. Kelliher
takes Ernest Blodgett's place at sec
Ond base, and will also serve as cap
tain of the team, as Mr.. Blodgett has
decided to stop playing ball for the
present.

THEY WANT A NEW CAPITOL.

There are some newspapers and
quite number of people who do not
agree with the Capital Building Com
mission for the erection of new State
Library and the improvement of the
old Capitol. They want new capitol
out and out 1t is not likely their
desire will be grathed, nor should it
be. With the erection of the new
State Librarya and the Abandonment of
the present quarters used for that pur-
pose, which can then be utilized for
the purposes of the Legislature, and
the improvement and renovation
of the old Capitol building, there will
be room enough and to spare for many
years to come. There is no prettier
or better organized Capitol building in
the country than that Of Pennsylvania.
There is only one inference to be
drawn as to the conduct Of the advo-
Gates of new Capitol. That is, they
desire to get their hands into the State
Treasury, and there would be lots of
fellows living off the fat of the land
for years to come. No, the taxpayers
of this tax-ridden and over-burdened
Commonwealth are content with the
present commodious and substantial
buildings, and there will many suns
rise and set, many moons wax and
wane, and many stars twinkle and dis
appear before the present historic State
buildings will be razed to the gaound.
WHEN WILL IT ADJOURN?
Some people say the Legislature
will adjourn about the 10th of May.
others again predict not before the Ist
of June. There is a vast deal of work
yet to do--for instance: The bill for
the calling of constitutional conven.
ton on the question of ballot reform;
the Apportionment bills, in which are
included the Congressional, Legislative
and Judicial; the bill for the equaliza-
ization Of taxation, and the General
Appropriation bill. Under the Con
stitution of 1873, there can never be
more than fifty Senators, and there
has been no change in the Senatorial
districts since 1874. There are those
who think that the time has come for
rearranging of these districts; that
during the past seventeen years many
things have occurred which make a
rearrangement desirable. But it is
questionable whether they will be re-
arranged, and it is even questionable
whether there will be any apportion-
ment. The Republicans in the Legis-
lature are not anxious for it, At all
events, it looks now as if the roses of
June will be in bloom when the day of
final adjournment takes place.

According to the corrected returns
from the Rhode Island election Gov
ernor Davis the democratic candidate
has plurality of 1873. Last year he
lacked I,oa5 of having majority over
all and this year 9S9. The state is so
districted as to insure majority Of re-
publicans in the senate and legislature,
and as the Constitution requires that
governor must have a majority over
all, and failing in this, the governor is
chosen by the legislature, a republican
governor will be chosen who will be
over $500 in the minority.

AN OBNOXIOUS LAW.

A careful examination of the pro-
posed new tax law leads to the belief
that if the farmers fully understood
the full import Of all its provisions,
they would arise as one man and de-
mand that it shall not pass the Senate
in its present shape. 1t has already
been endorsed by the House.
This law makes the duties of the
assessor SO inquisitorial that he has no
choice but to act as part of prying
machine, which throws open ones en-
tire life and business to public gaze.
Under its provisions every taxpayer
is required to state the value of every
thing he owns, which must be, in the
language OF the act, the "exact price
