The people of the state are becoming
greatly aroused over the railroad land
taxation bill now pending in the senate.
Fear is expressed that it may be killed

that some senators entertain that it will

would SO operate. Otherwise he did not

Senator Eaton is very earnest in sup.

constitution to limit sessions to go days
biennially, holding that 60 days is plen-

work of session. He calls attention
to the fact that Sundays and holidays
are not counted as sitting days, and that
at present it is possible to remain in
session los or ITO days, and receive pay
for that time.

DISTRICT FUNDS.

Some of the school districts in the
country round about are 50 fortunate as
to find themselves with money on hand
at the close of the current school year,
and the question arises, What shall be
done with it? The law establishing the
town system of schools is not specific
upon this point. The section Governing
the ground is as follows:
Sec. 2. The several towns shall take
charge of the school houses and proper
ty belonging thereto, within their respec-
tive limits, and all debts outstanding
that shall have accrued for the purchase
of land, erection of school houses and re-
pairs on school houses, shall be audited
and paid by the respective towns.
The obvious intention of the legisla-
ture wa, to include in the phrase, land
all property belonging thereto" every
thing belonging to the districts; and GER
tainly money is property if anything is.
If the legislature had contemplated any
other disposition of surplus funds, they
would have made provision therefor in
definite terms Middlebury Register.

A WARNING TO BARRIERS.

He carried a basket of shaving mugs
and raZors upon one arm and his right
hand tightly clutched big mirror. His
face was sad and pensive. He stood on
the deck of the ShackawaxOn, and look
ed moodily at the dark waters which rose
and fell about the prov of the stately
vessel. The man was Isaac Goldman,
the exiled barber of Ellis Island. His
schedule of prices was higher than most
immigrants cared to pay, and he was
banished. The last man he shaved did
not object to Goldman's prices. 1t was
all owing to the in difference of Col.
Weber. A Swedish immigrant came to
Goldman yesterday for a shave.
Hair cut?'' interrogated Goldman.
yah" said the Swede and he was
soon shorn of his tOusly locks.
Nice dry shampoo?" asked the bar
Der.
yah" said the Swede.
TRY some hair tonic?'
"Yah."
"Open a nice bottle of violet water for
you?>
yah"
Have your hair singed?"
yah"
Extra close shaver"
"Yah."
"Moustache waxed?"
yah"
''How about uncorking a fresh bottle
of brilliantine?"
yah"
The Swede cheerfully paid his check
for $3.50, yet the authorities forbade the
barber ever to apply his trade or his per-
suasive tongue ON the island again.-NOw

he said, 81 came here with several thou

The educational situation in the EN-
pire state is very lamentable one. The
superintendent of Instruction reports
that 772, 425 children of school age did
not attend school last year, being about
40 per cent of the entire number in the
State. In the cities the percentage of
attendance was as high as 80 per cent
while in the country it was as low as y.
Such condition of affairs ought to
arouse every friend of good morals and
gooG government, for it bodies ill to the
general welfare of the community. The
great multitude of children growing up
without education will certainly con-
tribute many recruits to the idle and
vicious. Without education scores of
them must fail to earn living and they
will drift into idleness and crime.
-Bradstreet announces the startling
fact that the lack of capital is the chief
cause of failure, and adds that in nine
tenths of the failures during 1892 the cap
ital In each instance was not more than
$1,000. This announcement carries its
own moral.
The Philadelphia Telegraph predicts

ENGLISH AND GERMAN EXHIBITS.

There is striking contrast between
the number of hosiery exhibitors for the
Worlds Fair from England and Germany,
the two important factors in the import
ing trade. 1t would seem from this that
the English manufacturers are either in
different TO the value of such an exhibit
ton for their trade, or are taking this
method of showing their antipathy for
things American, condition growing
out of the serious blow given the in
dustry by the Mckinley tariff. What,
eyer the cause, such an exhibit as pro-
posed cannot but reflect on the enter
prise and standing Of the English in
dustry. The Germans have never lost
sight of the Importance of the American
market, and while hampered with adj
verse tariff conditions, always watched
with interest the progress of affairs on
this side of the water. They see in the
Columbian Exhibition an opportunity to
demonstrate to the American people aud
the world the standing of the German
hosiery industry and the high quality of
its production. They have put forth
their best efforts and the exhibit will be
one OF the most complete and interesting
in the knit goods line.-Hosery and Knit
Goods Journal.
