Brer Greene sees another elusive legisls'

"Without attempting to discuss the ques-
tioh of finance, the Messenger may say that,
in its opinion, the bill introduced by Mr..
Porter of Wilmington, red ucing the legal
rate Of interest from six TO five per cent pre-
sents all the charac teristics of needless leg
islation. 1t is only another manifestation
OF desire to tinker the statutes and upset
established business conditions, and 1t is
only another vain reaching after that elu-
sive phantom that has for so many, many
centuries promised to make the poor man
rich"

Another Dusty Rhodes made its appear
snce in the House yesterday afternoon, on
pestiferous friend, to make the amount
subject to trustees process S5 instead Of
$40. The trouble with this bill, and it is
enough, is that every employer OF labor in
the State would be bothered to distraction
by multitude Of small SUITS and every
body would be trusted every Saturday
night. Such condition would be simply
insufferable.

At some period OF its life, Il Q editor of
the Wilmington Times has been lost soul,
judging from the following:
ut would be blessing If Vermont towns
could be compelled to erect guide boards at
every cross roads and every point where
two roads come together. without the
friendly guide board the wayfaring stranger
cannot travel through Vermont and feel
sure Of his way. The armer OF whom he
inquiries knows the way thoroughly and is
willing to impart all the information he
can; but in giving directions to follow the
road and keep straight ahead the farmer
invariably overlooks the numerous forks OF
the road and the traveller is obliged to guess
the way time and again, especially in
thinly populated sections OF the State where
one travels several miles at time without
passing human habitation. II the farmers
Of the State had one-tenth the appreciation
OF guide boards which is felt by strangers
who seek to reach any special point by
travelling over the country roads OF Yer
mont there would be guide boards at every
logging road and every turn and State legis-
lation would not be necessary to bring
about this much-needed Improvement. The
selectmen OF Vermont towns ought to take
this matter up and see that guide boards
are put up in every place where they can be
Of any possible use to the wayfarer."
There is law enough on the subject OF
guide boards, II town officials would only
obey 1t.

"The senatorial contest has developed

to make Senator Percival w Clement. pres
