1t seems almost as if our legislator
/ had a notion that ''the state had al
Aladdin's lamp which only needed rub
bling to produce treasure. Unfortu
nately. this is not the case. as thous-
ands OF our taxpayers will testify
1.-The state has no mysterious source
of income Every cent that is Sc
lightly voted for this scheme and that
has to come from the pockets of our
people. This fact, though gener-
ally known, is quite generally
overlooked. The result of the con-
slant additions in expenditures has
been an equally constant rise in state
taxes. 4 few years ago the corpora
ton revenues paid practically the
whole expense of our state administra-
ton. By degrees the direct tax has
mounted until now it is 20c., and 25c.
is the prospect for the next two years.
IL costs double and treble to run the
states affairs that it did few years
since and do we as citizens get the
added returns that we have a right to
expect? Hardly.
"The state is resigned to its fate.
1t hears without culver from the lips
Of its retiring governor the statement
that in all probability expenses of adj
ministration will continue to increase.
1t Is so easy to pull ''the states leg.
Everybody is at it, and failure begets
no shame. Nobody. it almost seems,
is protecting "the state" from leeches.

After that, all attempt TO
cast il off is useless. The question is
not, would it not be better for the
greater number of our people to leave
this money in their pockets, rather
than to wrench it from them to pay
for these needless, but rather alluring,
schemes
Once IN a great while "the state
has a nightmare and wonders where IL
will all end and how the freight will
be paid, but it is quickly soothed TO

charges in order TO escape a sllgh'
increase in taxes. If this were
possible. it would be practieed now
more generally. in the case of personal
debts. And then if a person borrows
he gets something and on that he must
nav taxes. if it can be found, so that
the inducement to run in debt for the
purpose of evading taxes is not, and is
not likely to be, alluring.
Judge Ross writes a letter to the
Brattleboro Phoenix which displays
natural disappointment over the out
come of the senatorial contest, and
also betrays a measure OF asceticism
that would better have been concealed.
Politics is game of "get there The
time has passed, if it ever existed,
when a man can gam official prefer
ment by simply saying that he hopes
he fills the bill and would esteem il
high honor, etc. All candidates say
that, and then most of them get out
and hustle. 1t may be undigniied, but
It has to be done. Perhaps it has its
compensations, too. The candidates
learn how dependent they are on the
common citizen, and any grain of
conceit they have is speedily knocked
out when they get down to close COM
petition for popular favor with their
rivals. 1t is the recurrence of these
periods which makes the oftice-holding
class servants, and not masters. We
cannot bring ourselves to think that it
is unworthy Of a candidate for office to
solicit support in all fair and honorable
ways. Judge Ross's fling at the s.pur-
chasable press is hardly in keeping
with the high standard he himself sets
up. There is no 'purchasable press
in Vermont worth purchasing. There
is not a publisher in the state, we
believe, who is not the poorer in
pocket on account Of the late senatorial
contest. Not one of them has realized
or win realize enough to pay for the
work he has done and the expense
incurred in behalf of his candidate, TO
say nothing Of the clientage he has
and other indirect losses
sustained. Almost or quite all of the
papers treated Judge Ross with espe-
cial courtesy and gentleness. Against !
any unfair treatment from them or
from any of the candidates he has a
right to enter protest, but we fear his
cuticle is too thin for active political !
life. The transition from the bench to |
the political arena was too abrupt for |
him. The legislature, elected on the |
square issue, chose the senator that il |
was commissioned to do, and last of
all should we expect a man Of Judge |
Ross breadth of mind to complain |
publicly over the result and bemoan |
the degradation OF modern politics

Ii the double taxation problem
should be settled by allowing offsets
for mortgage Indebtedness against real
estate, the same as is now allowed
against personal estate, we are told
that the result would be such a serious
shrinkage in the grand lists of many
towns as would result in their virtual
extinction, leaving nothing upon
which TO base taxation. Taxes would
mount so high, it is said. that all who
could would move elsewhere. Will,
those who could not would take on
mortgages in order 10 avoid taxation.
We doubt the accuracy OF this dire
prediction. No statistics AT hand
show any such conditions as likely q
arise. A large portion Of the indebted.

If the fish hatchery appropriation Of
SO, 600 for 1901 and $4,000 annually
thereafter goes through in the form
that it passed the House, that institu-
ton will have a chance to demonstrate
its right TO liye-the first fair chance it
has ever had. It has been squeezed
and pinched in respect to funds all its
life, and even now there will be
nothing to waste, but the amount is
fairly adequate, and what is better
still, can be depended on. The COM
missioners claim that the reason they
have not been more successful in
stocking from the hatchery product is
that, for lack Of funds, they have been
compelled to put out the young fish as
fry, instead OF keeping them until they
had matured into iingerlings As fry,
they have been mostly food for the
native fish OF the waters into which
they were introduced, but rs fingerlings
it is expected they will be able to care
tor themselves and a larger number
will grow to lawful size. The work OF
the hatchery for the next two years
will be watched with great interest.
1t is viewed now with skepticism by
many, and but for the large sum
already invested by the state, which
would be a total loss were the hatchery
given up, it would doubtless have been
abolished years ago. Many thousands
Of dollars have been expended in the
propagation and distribution Of fish by
Vermont and we cannot blame we'll
informed and unparalleled persons
who hold that nothing like adequate
returns have been called This
opinion may be altered by different
system which the proposed appropria-
ton will enable the commissioners to
follow. Vermont is far from being a
gamester's paradise and seems to be
deteriorating. rather than improving.

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.

Blanchard Opera House was veritable
musical art gallery Friday evening. and the
visitors numbered hundreds. There were
students of art, asrirants for distinction in
this particular realm, and lovers of the art
for the diversion 1t affords.
1t was charming group Of pictures that
MOntpelier's talented young musician, Mr..
George III. Wilder, had arranged. Only
nine were in the catalogue, but the evident
delight and appreciation OF the guests led
him to disclose many OF the yelled ones, and
the nu mber was nearly doubled.
Light and shade were first most strongly
portray ed in the overture which followed
Meyerbeer's grand march, "Coronation. !"
After this overture-"M Merry Wives of
Windsor"--Mr. Wilder's newest march,
brass Buttons", gave delight as its mas
terly construction became disclosed. Tone
portrayal was perhaps most strongly ex-
emplified in the "Singing Girl" by Victor
Herbert, while the "Day in Venice" re-
vealed all the coloeings of an italian sun
set, most harmoniously blended Nothing,
brought out than the "Andante" and
"The Mill, string quintettes presented in
manner quite beyond criticism, and very
str ngly reminding the older portion of the
audience OF the visits Of the old Beethoven
and Mendelssohn Quinette clubs. Mr..
Walter 4. Loud, violin, and Mr.. George Fl.
Jones, cello, fairly divided the honors as
instrumental soloists, each making his num-
Der source of pleasure unalloyed, and
each being required to give still furtht
exhibition OF his control of his favorite ill.,
strnment.
No picture delighted the audience more
than the work OF Master Stockbrdge, the
boy soprano, whose almost marvellous rem
dering of "The Angel at the Window" held
them well nigh spell bound. The inter
pretation was that of mature years and
thought, the voice revelation of purity,
resonance and power, the manner most un-
assuming.
The solos were all given with piano &C
compartment by Miss Nash in the same
sympathetic and faultless manner which has
marked all OF her work before Montpelier
audiences.
The orchestra was ably guided by Mr.
Loud in all it's wanderings through the in
tricate mazes wrought by American and
foreign composers, and the final work OF
conductor and orchestra was a splendid
/ rendition OF that grand symphony-Schu
berts (unfinished) in minor.
