Not in years II ever has a more radiant,
comprehensive, far-reaching, systematic
energetic and withal successful lobby oper-
ated in Montpelier during session of the
Legislature than in this year of especial
Grace, 1900 "Our leading citizens" from
every point OF the compass are in tito their
necks, and what gets by them IL exceeding
ly swift. They are not really lobbyis
probably, only an advisory committee of
private citizens" sacrificing time and OPP
portunities to acquire wealth in other chan
nels and throwing themselves into the
breach solely for love of the best interests
of the dear old State. OF course And al
most without exception they are jolly good
fellows who sever themselves from good
cigars freely and whom it is pleasure to
know. Montpelier without its lobby would
be the play OF Sapho with Sapho herself
detained at home by neuralgia.

exercise his admitted leadership often

Some wonderful figures are submitted by
the House committee on mileage and de-
bentures. According to these figures the
distance from Hyde Park to Montpelier is
73 miles, from Morrstown 30 and from VOL
cot 80, three adjoining towns on the same
line of railroad. From st. Adams it is 60
miles TO the House and SO miles to the SEN
ate. From Jericho it is "A miles and from
the next town beyond, Underhill, it is %.
From Westford, the next town beyond I'm
derhill, it is also 40, 1t is 80 miles from
Bradford to Montpelier, and sixty from
Chelsea. From Newbury it is only 38.
From Washington it is IA and from Will
JAMESTOWN IA. From Richford it is 81, and
from Troy 1872. From Bloomington il is 1903
miles to the Senate and 101 miles to the
House. From Swanton it is 68 miles to the
sergesnt-st-arms office, and 67 to the hall
of the House. Assistant Doorkeeper Wright
of Westminster has to travel 112 miles to
reach his job, while the member from West
minister travels only 105 miles to take his
seat. 1t is Ga miles to the State treasurer's
Office from Hartford, and 60 miles from that
town to the House. These are only few
of the wonders revealed by brief examina-
ton Of the report. IL it was carefully an
ally zed, it ould unquestionably bring some
amazing facts to light and considerably un-
settle the geography of Vermont.

The Free Press Mondsymorning condenses
the legislative situation into the following
correct statement:
"There is good reason to expect that the
L. gislature cannot possibly do justice to
the matters before it and make final adj
journment before Thanksgiving. The bills
remaining for action are the most important
of the session. Among them may be n en-.
toned bills bearing on caucus reform, prop
or system Of public records Of births, mar
riages and deaths, bills to increase State
revenues, equslize taxation, constitutional
amendments, temperance reform, valued
policy bill, and all changes recommended
by the tutgoing and incoming Governors
are still in their initial stages, and should
be given much more than nine days con-
sideration Up to date but little has been
accomplished except to grant railroads,
lighting companies, cemetery associations,
various hill town churches, ETC., the right
to do whatever they have asked for, and all
the acts of public interest have been shun-
ned as something too hard for the members
to think about. This is an entirely wrong
spirit in which to face he work. There
are few important changes that are seri-
ously needed and the Legislature is now
hardened to it's work and can give the State
more valuable service now than at any 9TH
or period OF its existence il it will be both
deligent and deliberative. Deliberation re-
quires q complete enforcement from the
idea that the Legislature must adjourn be-
fore Thanksgiving and the determination
TO give every important matter all the
attention that it deserves"

1t appears that water has made more
trouble and taken more time in the House
than rum thus far this session For in
stance the two committees on corporations
have given more time to deciding whether

streets OF Barre, than to practically all the
other matters they have had before them
for consideration.

1t is now said to be fact that the local
option bill cannot even pass the Senate in
its present form. 1t may be largely re-
modelled and then pass that body, but this
is doubtful, In the House it is now esti-
mated that 1t may possibly receive hum
dred votes. The committee has been ready
to report it for some time, but Senator
Clement has been anxious to secure the
presence OF DR.. Grinnell of Burlington to
address the committee. The doctor has not
showed up as yet, however, and the bill
will come right along now.
