A good deal of excitement is being
raised over the question, "Who shall
be Superintendent of Education for the
next two years Z" The present incum-
bent, Mr.. Palmer of Waterbury, is a
candidate for reelection but is opposed
by Prof. NJ. S. Stone of Westfield.
Rev. /. p. Booth of Mortified and
Senator ID. J. Foster of Burlington.
At present it Is impossible TO name the
winner. A careful canvass on Monday
afternoon revealed the fact that PROT.
Stone will have the support of almost
the entire delegations from Orleans and
Lamoille counties. He will also re-
ceive quite a strong backing from Ad-
olson county and some from Chit
tenden, Essex, Franklin, Caledonia and
Washington. No person is better
qualified to fill the position than Mr..
Stone. His work for the past ten
years as principal Of the academies at
Bristol and Morrisville, and later as
supervisor of Orleans county, where
he received much praise, has given
him the necessary drill that one should
have. who hopes to be a successful
superintendent. Mr.. Stones many
friends in Lamoille hope to see him
win the race.-Morrisville Citizen.

An effort will be made by the local
telegraph aud telephone companies TO
have the corporation tax law so amend
ed that they viii not have to pay as
much as the rich foreign companies,
The Legislature would better go slow in
this for the United States Courts have
held that taxation must be equal and
an amendment of the sort proposed
might imperil the whole corporation
tax law. Better give these small, weak
con. .panies bounty rather than do any
thing tina would kill this law, which
furnishes nearly enough money to pay
all the state expenses.

A bill to improve the highways has
been introduced by Senator Amsden,
which provides for the appointment Of
three road commissioners, who shall
have full control of all roads. They
shall appoint one man, who is an engi-
neer,to take charge Of the roads in each
county and expend the tax The bill
also provides for bonding the state for
81 100000, this sum to be used where
most needed in building permanent
highways. 1t will not pass but some
thing of the kind win in few years.
The state is spending about halfa mill
lion a year now, most of which is
thrown away, as the roads have to be
fixed each year instead of once in a
lifetime.

The Montpelier correspondent of the
Hardwick Gazette says, 81 am very
comfortably located on committee
which has, resting on its shoulders, the
welfare and general sanitary condition
of one of the states largest institutions,
and our committee will soon take day
off and the train and proceed to in
spect and report We have given the
superintendent notice of our coming SO
that we shall be sure to find the prem
ises in perfect condition throughout,
and he will meet us at the depot with
his staff and two or three barouches.
We shall be served with refreshments,
both transparent and Opaque; the small
boys will turn out en- masse cigars and
etcetery will be as free as the mountain
air, and it will be plug hat and low
necked occasion from the ground up.
This is what is known to the common
people as a legislative junket, and these
parties are now beginning to swarm.
Our committee has thus far had two
bills referred to it. We don't take the
trouble to read them but toss up cop
per to see if the report shall be favor
able or unfavorable. In these two cases
one goes and the other doesn't. | have
forgotten which is which, but the top
one will be reported with the recon-
menda.ion that it do pass, and the
other will lie. See? This saves lots
of time and is really fine system.
"Another thing that is forcibly inn
pressed on my mind by the corkidor
orators and lobbyists is change from
the district to the town system in school
education. Supt. Palmer is earnestly
working for the introduction of the
town system and is being ably support
ed. As against this, there is the OPP
position which always meets an innova-
ton, and also the fact that Senator
Foster has entered the field as candi-
date for the superintendency of the
states educational interests. Foster is
hustler and his advent in the arena,
with the previously mentioned preju-
dice, makes the ultimate result mighty
uncertain. Now something confden-
tial. Sometimes / quietly rap on my
