Wherever there is a meeting Of eccle
siastcs there is sure TO be told some story
of the late Bishop Williams Of Connect
cut, who was one Of the brightest men OF
his day. At n recent conclave a the
General Theological seminary they told
this tale Of the good bishops wit
One summer day the bishop went out
fishing with a friend, and, MS the day
was warm. they swung a bottle of rare
old burgundy over the side of a rowboat
When luncheon time came, the bishop
essayed to pull the wine aboard. already
tasting in anticipation the cool, delicious
beverage. Through some mishap the
string slipped frm his fingers. and the
bottle sank TO the bottom Of the river.
Bishop Williams sat up with a sigh and
said, with his eyes sparkling:

was erected within the past year. and is
large enough to furnish all the power
needed for manufacturing purposes In

To be deducted from this

in the nature of taxes:
From state prison, 81, 1c74l

From County Clerks, 45O261S

Net Expenditures, $774 OPS 40
a true statement would make the
amount nearer 500 900 because the re-
Ccipts from courts all credited as income
lCCauso the court expenses are included IN
the auditors orders are very largely in the
nature of taxes, and so far as that Is true
are no more properly to be deducted from
expenses than corporation or any other
taxes. But the remaining balance Of
S.7Lo4S4o is bad enough and way beyond
what the state ever suffered before. A
few years ago when the state expenses got
up to $500 400 there was universal adms-
sion that it was all wrong totally unJusu-
fable and promises were profuse of reform
and reduction. Instead Il ey have been
growing worse as fast as the Republican
maioritlcs have increased. Within 90 years
they have considerably more than doubled.
NdH any human Delng tell what the people
OF the state are getting in return?
Probably it is a safe statement that no
state In the union, according to popula ton
aud resources has had its expenses sw IL
len so much as Vermont. Just after tho
war in 1861, $4,000 suficed for a year )
expenses, and that was so. too in the days
when Redfield I'roctCr's and John l.. Bars
/ tOW's administrations were doing pruning
work. The 1851 expenditure was in the IN
Mated currency and values at that time.
Measured by present values as the farm
er for instance, finds them, they were
hardly 81 then when they are 81 now
Again what is there to show for this enor-
nous difference.
Corporation taxes last year yield

Inheritance taxes, 50,1Is II
Licenses ana similar fees, 1875 70
Profit on liquor agency sales, 3,CIf r
/ or total OF 500 90 So
These are nearly all taxes that distri-
butte themselves and that the public pays
as surely as any other. They are enough
nearly twice ever. to pay every dollar OF
the states expenses on basis OF decent
economy like that OF 20 wears ago They
not only do not do 1t now, but the direc'
grand list taxes are IS high as ever. The
legislature keeps adding new taxes, like
that on collateral inheritances, but it does
no good. 1t means only so much more
money to be thrown away.
