placidly brings forward the excuse that
got too thin years ago, for the out,
rageous growth in our state expenses.
Here it is:
Ii the peoples representatives con
tinuo at each session Of the Legislature
to order unnecessary expenditures the
blame should be placed where it be
longs and not upon the states cxecu-
tive officers.
OF course the peoples representa-
tives have done it, and they have done
it simply because they knew that. po-
litically, they were safe whatever they
did. And they will continue to do it
until they understand that the party
responsible is in danger of being
tipped out of power for it--until in
other words the taxpayers of Vermont
learn that it is desirable to have the
parties evenly enough matched to
watch each other and act as checks up
on one another

A new high explosive was testec
Friday at the Sandy Hook proving
ground with remarkable results. II
was found that shells loaded with this
explosive which is said to be five pei
cent. moro powerful than No. dyna-
mite, could safely be fired from ordinary
rapid firing guns The new invention
bids fair to further revolutioniZc
methods of warfare. Heretofore high
explosives could not be used in pro
jectiles discharged from ordinary guns,
and this led to the invention of the
pneumatic gun for the projection of
dynamite shells. The latter gun, how
ever, is not absolutely accurate aud
will be quickly abandoned if the meth
cd of firing equally destructive shells
from ordinary cannon proves thorough
ly practicable.

The Leland Stanford estate. The action
was brought under the California con
stitution making stockholders liable to
the extent of their holdings, for the
debts of corporation, but although
the Central Pacific and other roads by
which the government has been so
enormously plundered were California
