The House of Representatives
promptly passed the bill appropriate
ing $4,000 for the Anthracite Coal
Strike Commission and doubtless
the same action will be taken by the
Senate. To that extent, therefore,
the Commission will be recognized
as an official body, though appointed
under no enactment. The Presidents
course was virtually approved, the
bill having passed without a division,
although there were several dissent
ing voices on the Democratic side.

The House has passed the license
local-option bill with the Senate
amendments, as given in our Mont
pelier letter. There was a spirited
debate over the proportionate divi-
sion of the license fees and fines be-
tween town and state-some of the
members wanting the towns to have
three-fourths of the receipts. On a
vote, however, of III to 90, the
funds were equally divided. Lamoille
county voted for three-fourths as
follows: Randall of Wolcott, Tillot-
son of Belvidere, and Woodward of
Wateryille; for one-half, Harrington
of Cambridge, Lilley of Hyde Park
Pearl of Johnson, Stafford of Morris

WEEKLY PAYMENTS DEAD.
The legislature of 19O2-at least
the upper branch of it-has done
what several of its predecessors have
done with the weekly payment bill
namely, refused its passage. The
Senate talked the thing over for most
sof a forenoon, and then decided
against the bill, 81 to 9. Attempts
were made to amend it, with a view
to improving its prospects, but they
were useless, since the measure as it
came from the House hadn't friends
enough "at court" to. give it the
ghost of a chance of passing. The
majority of Senators regarded it as
class legislation and so not entitled
to their support. Mr.. Lawrence of
Rutland city, the father of the bill,
wasn't pleased with its fate in the
Senate after getting through the
House with only eight recorded nay
votes, but there was no help for it.

Mr.. Benjamin of Woodbury. and
Mr.. Hammer of Lincoln were the only
two members who lifted up their
voices against sustaining the Gov
ernor's veto of the bill authorizing
Woodbury. to appropriate $4,000 in
the aid of the Fletcher Granite Com
pany. The measure was vetoed on
the ground that such action would
be unconstitutional; the executive
cited several cases in support of his
view of the matter, and the House
stood by him almost to man.

prove his loyalty to his towns de-

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

Agitation of the question Of
good roads in Cobb county should
continue. The work is one of the
most important in which any COM
munity, county or state can en-
gage, and interest in the matter
should not be permitted to wane.
In recent message from the gov
ernor of South Carolina to the leg
islature of that state, he touched
upon the question of good roads,
and what he said is worthy of con-
sideration because Of the general
interest upon the subject and the
broad application of his remarks.
1t is estimated, says the govern
or, that in forty counties in Indi-
ana, "a broad basis for computa-
tion-the average increase in the
selling price of land, due to exist
ing improved roads, is almost
$3.50 per acre ($6.48 to be exact).
The estimated average cost of con-
verting common public roads into
improved roads is 81 lac per mile.
The estimated annual average loss
per hundred acres from poor roads
due to added expense of hauling
only half loads over them, break
age and wear and tear of vehicles,
loss of time, etc. lis $40. 76 per
acre. 1t is seen that the loss from
poor roads would soon pay for the
building of good roads, and after
replacing the amount paid for
their construction, the good roads
will continue to pay.
These facts are very clearly and
forcibly presented and should APP
peal to the good business judgment
of every farmer and landowner;
but the Charleston News and Cour-
Ter, commenting upon the govern
or's remarks, varies the calcula-
ton little. "a good road" says
the paper, will steadily and eff
fectively serve tract of country
for a mile on each side of it; and,
as there are $40 acres to the square
mile, it follows that one mile of
good road will serve 1890 acres
within the mile limit. 1t follows,
again, that an expenditure of ST.
per acre for each acre SO to be ben
Gifted will more than pay the cost
ISL, 146) of improving bad road
into so expensive good one as the
kind constructed in Indiana. 1t
is also to be noted that IS cents of
the dollar SO expended is offset by
the saving of the loss for one year
on account of bad roads condi-
tlons, leaving the net cost of the
Improvement to the landowners
only 20 cents IN acre in fact. This
expenditure is practically made
but once, the annual cost of MAIN
tainance being relatively very
small. Wherefore, the improved
road will nearly pay the whole cost
OF It's construction in one year and
thereafter will continue to return
70 cents per acre annually in the
single item of saving the loss re-
sulting from bad roads. To which
gain is to be added all the conven-
fences of good road service, and the
increase Of $3.50 i'll the value of
every acre tributary to the road

ing price, Four per cent. interest

1t was brought to Mr.. Carnegie's
attention recently that nearly all
of the free libraries reported the
majority of the books taken from
them were Of the class of light fic-
tion--novels and certain ephem-
eral works the value Of which was
questionable. Discussing the mat
tor before the Authors Club in
New York the other evening, Mr..
Carnegie gave it as his opinion that
it might be we'll for public librar-
les to buy no works of fiction that
were not at least one year old.
Within that time, he said, public
opinion would have determined
which were good works and which
were worthless. Herbert Putnam,
Librarian of the Congressional Lii
brary, agrees with Mr.. Carnegie
that no work of fiction less than a
year of age should find It's way into
a public library. Several other IL
brarians who were seen by the
New York Tribune with respect to
the matter. said they had noted a
failing off in the demand for nov
els during the past year.

Sunlight in Orchards.

1t is not sufficiently appreciated that
in order to secure healthy trees and
wholesome fruit the influence Of the
suns rays must be brought into full
operation. Trees are placed too near
together in the orchard, and trimming
does not sufficiently aim to open the
growth to the sun and air. Half of our
orchards stand more like groves, with in
terlocked limbs, than as orchards should
stand, without intruding one tree upon
another. Some varieties, of course,
need more room than others; so it is
that we must consider varieties instead
of laying down the rule that orchard
trees should stand just SO many feet
apart. Cherry trees should stand par
ticularly well open, and out Of shade of
other trees. Otherwise they will be at

The Value of Hog Wallows.

The hog is n native Of hot climates,
where his thick skin served as protec-
ton against poisonous snakes and other
enemies. In the state Of his present
higher civilization his thick skin is in
some respects detriment to his best
welfare. When closel confined in filthy
quarters it provides harboring place
for mites and vcrmin, from which they
are with difficulty dislodged. The ex-
treme thickness Of his skin also tends to
retain the body heat too closely when
he is penned up in hot weather, out
