CHEAP ENOUGH,

The Vermont state building at the
Worlds Fair has been sold by Com
missioner Mcintyre to a Chicago
plumber for ninety-sevcn dollars and
fifty cents. Just why the fifty cents
was thus thrown in is not quite
clear, unless it is an expression OF
liberality on the plumbers part.
The building, if we remember
tightly, cost something more than
that-in fact, cost ten thousand dol
lars or more. There is a great dis
crepancy between the first cost and
the selling price; but possibly after
the glory had departed from the
structure, by reason of the close OF
the fair, ninety-seven fifty was all it
was worth.
We are afraid that Vermonters in
general have taken very little glory
in their state building, after all; and
the meagre sum obtained for it at
the CLOSING out sale" may possibly
emphasize, to the average Vermont.
er's mind, the insigni6cance of this
architectural gem-this sample Of
the "Pompey' style, as one admirer
from Swanton saw fit to call it.
The building very appropriately
falls into the hands of plumber
for it is claimed by good judges that
it sadly needed attention by that
kind of an artist. Here's luck to
the buyer this time. But next time
when Vermont is to be represented
by a so-called state building, let it
be in every way an honor to the
commonwealth.

THE SPECIAL SESSION.

The special session of congress
which came to an end on Friday
last has been conspicuous mainly
for two things-the large amount
of time wasted in getting down to
business, and the small amount OF
business finally transacted. The re-
peal of the silver-purchasing clause
and the amendment OF the Chinese
exclusion act stand out as the only
two things of any real Importance
accomplished during the three
months since the congressman were
called together in the interests of a
country in deep financial distress.
A great many wild schemes for 6nan-
cial relief were Observation-Disclosures
looked upon by their projectors as
the only means of salvation for the
nation-but fortunately, they all
failed. Congress did, to be sure,
just what was expected of it as to
the silver matter; but the vexatious
delays and the protracted debate,
especially in the senate, included GER
tain revelations that disagreeably
surprised the people and, we doubt
not, materially marred the effect of
the vote when finally taken.
The special session partook, to
large degree, of the character of a
farce, and may be regarded as an
example Of how little can be done in
the way OF national legislation when
a minority is built that way.

INTERCHANGEABLE MILEAGE.

What would have been an excel
lent arrangement-for the public
mas been set aside by a recent deci-
sion of the Massachusetts supreme
court. The legislature of that state
passed an act providing for inter-
changeable mileages on the roads
running within its territories-that
is, mileages sold the traveller by one
road must be accepted by other
roads IN payment of fare. The ST.
preme court has now decided that
such a law is unconstitutional, and
the Old Colony road, against which
test suit was brought wins its case.
This decision, while of considera-
BILE interest to the general public, is
no surprise, and some OF the points
set forth by the court will be regard
ed as fairly well taken. The decision
holds, at the outset, that "if the leg
islature cannot constitutionally re-
quire railroad company to trans
port passenger unless the fare is
paid in advance, we have no doubt

President Peixoto has recently put
about three million dollars into a
navy for Brazil, having purchased
eleven vessels. The names of some
OF these proposed war ships are ex-
tremely formidable, but the ships
themselves, having been built for
peaceful pursuits rather than for
the havoc of war, are not likely to
prove OF material use to Peixto in
quelling the revolution against him.
1t looks as though the president of
the uneasy republic would not get
three million dollars worth of fight
out Of his new ships.
