Road Lecislation i'm Vermont.

1t is felt in Vermont that the good
roads cause has received setback,
but efforts are being made to revive it
and secure favorable action from the
next Legislature. The State highway
commission which existed for several
wears possessed little authority, but
served good purpose as a bureau Of
information. In 1894 their powers
we're enlarged, public meetings were
held in each county, road officials and
citizens were interested in the work,
improved methods of maintenance
were adopted, and the roads werekepi
in better condition without increase Of
expense. The legislature Of 1896,
however, abolished the commission,
thus leaving the movement without 9
head and causing Generalization. In
the fall, sample road under govern
ment supervision is to be constructed
at Vergennes, and it is hoped that i
will be followed by revival of activity
in highway improvement.

THE GOVERNMENT OF HAWAII

Judging by the bill reported by
Senator Cullom to the senate pro-
viding form of government for
the Hawaiian islands, that archi-
pelago will be erected into terri
tory resembling in most import
ant particulars those already es-
tablished in this country.
Few persons will dispute that
this is the proper course to take in
reference to Hawaii. The people
of those islands are fairly well
qualified for the degree OF self
government which is granted to a
territory. The provision requir-
ing voting qualification that a
voter shall be able to read and
write the English or Hawaiian
language will guard against the
introduction at elections of influ-
ences alien alike to the islands and
the United States. In this way
most of the Chinese and japanese
