DOINGS AT MONTPELIER.

After continuous campaign lasting
practically since the first of January last,
John G. Mccullough of Bennington was
last week Wednesday afternoon elected
governor by vote even more decisive
than that claimed by his most sanguine
supporters.
The two houses of the legislature as
sembled Wednesday morning at 1890
for organization. In the Senate Hon.
c. w. Brownell of Chittenden county
was elected president pro tenn.
In the House John II. Merrifeld OF
Newfane was elected speaker on the
first ballot, defeating Eli II. Porter of
Wilmington, Democrat, and Zenas H.
Ellis of Fair Haven, license.
When the joint canvassing committee
reported to the joint assembly at 4.3O
Wednesday afternoon the balloting for a
governor was at once taken up, and at
4.47 o'clock the tellers were able to an
nounc- that General Mccullough had
been elected governor by majority OF
sixty votes. The election of Lieutenant.
Governor Stanton by vote of ISL to 81
for Elisha May, and 35 for Frank W.
Agan followed at once.
Friday morning at 1910, Gen. Nc
Cullough was escorted to the bar of the
house, where the joint assembly was in
session, and the oath of Office was ad-
ministered by Judge John H. Watson.
Gov. McCullough's message dealt at
length with the subject of liquor legisla-
ton, and urged that any measure sub
mitted to vote of the people he care
fully safeguarded. He also favored ex-
tending elections to political party eau
cuSes.
Two bills introduced cover two of the
important matters of discussion of the
past campaign, providing for a caucus
law and license law. Both came from
Chittenden county. The caucus meas
ure was introduced by Senator Brownell
and the license bill by Senator Russell.
Senator Brownells primary law is very
long and enters into every detail. 1t
provides for the regulation of caucuses
in cities and towns for state and county
officers, town representatives, and also
for holding caucuses to elect delegates to
state and county conventions.
The license bill introduced by Sena-
tor Russell is practically the Massachu-
sets law, with such variations as Sen a.
tor Russell thinks will adapt it to the
needs of Vermont. The selectmen of
towns and trustees of Incorporated vii
lagos are made a licensing board. There
are three classes of licenses first class,
hotels and dram shops for the purpose

March, 1908, if approved by a majority
of the freemen, and if not approved To
90 into effect on the first of December,

LETTER FROM MONTPELIER.
SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.
Tuesday, October 7, 100:

Tuesday, October7, 1902.
The noon and afternoon trains we're
crowded with members returning to
their legislative duties after the first va
cation.
A frequent topic of discussion is the
sudden and unexpected death of Gen.
WV. Grout, which occurred this morn
ing at 7 o'clock at his home in Kirby.
The tidings came as personal sorrow
to many who knew him as warm per-
sonal friend. A joint resolution of con-
dolence and regret and recognition of
his eminent public services will be
adopted tomorrow and the two houses
will take a recess at the hour of his
funeral. A committee of three senators
and five representatives will represent
the general assembly at his funeral at
the Grout farm Thursday afternoon.
An optimistic feeling is the prevail
Ing tone of the average member, a fixed
purpose to do prompt and effective work,
to sacrifice personal opinions and pref
erences in the interest of harmony and
effective legislation.
1t seems probable that several of the
leading committees will adopt the plan
OF holding joint sessions which will save
time and prevent Understandings 1t
Is unfortunate that DR.. Hubbard of Lyn-

Prospects.

Opens the Year Under Most Gratifying
Prospects.
The johnson State Normal School
opens its seth year with nearly 90 new
students and with an attendance much
larger than at any previous time in
many years. Extensive repairs and i'm
provements have been made in the
buildings, including complete equip
ment for laboratory work in the sciences,
built on model widely used in the
leading schools of the country. Hand
some tables, provided with long lead
sinks and with drawers and lockers for
individual use, give opportunity for
large classes to do experimental work in
science. A new room has also been fit
ted up for the use of the drawing classes.
The practice department is under the
charge of Miss Sarah T. Palmer, formerly
training teacher in the New Britain,
Conn.,, Normal School. Each member
of the senior class is expected to teach
two hours day for half a year, under
careful supervision. Other new mem
beers of the faculty are as follows: Miss
Eliza f. Gee, formerly teacher of Eng.
lsh at the Randolph Normal school
Miss Ruth b. Fisher, graduate of the
University of Vermont formerly teacher
of science in the schools of Minneapolis
The names of the new students from
this and adjoining counties are giver

don, chairman Of house committee is i'll
at his home.
The report of state superintendent
Ranger is highly commended, and his
suggestions will it is believed meet with
careful consideration and general APP
prevail.
Judge Ross has written a bill reorg-
AIMING the railroad commission on a
more practical and effective basis, the
board to consist of one lawyer, compe-
tent engineer and railroad specialist, and
practical business man. The bill con-
fers the general powers OF a court oil
chancery, and greatly enlarges the pow
ers and responsibilities of the board. 1t
is worked out with exhaustive thorough
ness of detail and bears the strong I'M
press of the legal mind.
Senator Russell of Chittenden intro
duced a bill in the senate greatly chang
ing the scope and modus operandi OF the
tuberculosis law. 1t places the testing
in a cattle commission composed OF
three practical veterinaries, makes test
ing permissible by the owners, aud pro-
vides for payment of full value of ami
mails slaughtered, the price to be fixed
by reference to disinterested parties
mutually selected by the owner and the
cattle commission.
Chittenden county is the storm center
of the opposition to the present law, and
it is presumed that Mr.. Russell's bill
embodies the prevalent opinion there.
Senator Brownell Immediately after
the organization was completed intro
duced very exhaustive bill regulating
caucuses.
Temperance legislation is really the
absorbing topic of the session. Two
bills have already been presented that
, express the Observation-Disclosures idea
one of which is the official expression OF
Mr.. Clements personal views. Tomor

The public is naturally sorely disap-
pointed at the result of the conference
between the President and the mine op-
orators. 1t was hoped that enough con-
alteration would be shown by the coal
barons to yield point or two for the
benefit of public interest, but they have
put up bold front and refused to give
in one iota.

among the things of the past. Vermont
is "off with the old and on with the
new" and the time has come when it is
in order to discuss matters which will
be likely to come before the present
legislature. The messages of the out
going and incoming governors show
careful and studied treatment OF things
practical. One or two things have been
said in the messages that it would have
been more perilous than would have
been the commission of high treason to
have said a short time since. We refer
chiefly to the liquor question. The
truth is the time has come when the
people are waking up with reference to
certain conditions, and when motives OF
policy must yield to popular sentiment
which cannot be forever restrained. The
bill which has already been introduced,
or some other looking to the same ends,
will be passed, else we mistake the tent
per of the legislature as well as the
general public sentiment throughout
the state. Our present system of taxa
ton is not faultless, we had almost said
is abominable. Each man determines
for himself how much he shall be taxed
and his statement is very seldom ques
toned, so that how much each shall be
assessed depends upon the avarice ano
the veracity of each taxpayer. The con
scientious man may put into the list al
he has, while another puts in half of his
thus imposing penalty for veracity anc
offering a reward for falsehood. Their
is another subject that will be agitated
regulating the holding of caucuses o
political parties. Take the situation il
Brighton in the last campaign. At tn

the republican state convention 210 pre-
fessedly republicans, many of whom ha
signed a statement that they would SUI
port the regular republican nominees
participated in the caucus and yet at tn
election less than lao ballots were cas-
for the republican candidates, so it
fitting that the safeguards of election
should surround primaries. We hea

which have been half hidden by sha
Ows of men who desire to be in the Gu

the people will deal more wisely wit

breaches Annual Sermon.
DELIVERED FINE ADDRESS
Many Messengers From Over
the State Present.

The Kansas Baptist Ministers associ-
alton had its introductory meeting at
last evening.
The exercises opened with a song SER
vice, which was followed by an address
by Miss Austin, home secretary Of the
Womens Baptist Foreign Missionary So
ciety. She gave a fine discourse on news
from the field, and her effort was duly
appreciated by the interested audience
gathered. She spoke very feelingly Of
letters received from foreign missionar-
les and Of their Work-its hardships
and trials, and she made a touching ap-
peal TO the young people TO join in some
kind Of a missionary work if they wished
to enter a worthy service.
Professor Manly Wareham rendered
a vocal solo with fine effect. after which
the Rev. w. A. Elliott Of the First Bap-
fist church of Newton delivered the an
nual sermon. His subject was The
Twofold Functions of the Gospel Minis
try The sermon was rich in thought.
and was intently listened to by a large
audience. He began by saying that 4
minister must be both prophet and priest
and he sought to impress his hearers
with the fact that manliness was the
first attribute of the priesthood, and
that the minister should interpret the
truth to his charge in the language of
his day. He spoke of the tenderness of
the priest. and how it was necessary TO
the saving Of his charge.
Tomorrow the Ministerial association
will hold its meeting in the First church,
exercises beginning at 9 o'clock a. m.
and the Womans Missionary societies
will at the same hour occupy the First
Presbyterian church, corner Of First and

ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY
Two Boys in JaIl on a Seriou $
Charge.


Ira Jason, and John Irwin, two Wich-
I tia boys, aged respectively 10 and Is
years. broke into the county jail yester-
day on warrants sworn out by Brakeman
Brothers, the fish dealers, of No. 800 East
Douglas avenue. 1t is alleged that the
boys on last Sunday night feloniously
entered the premises of the Brakeman
Brothers and did take, steal and carry
away certain property to wit: Two revolt
vers, calibre IS and four boxes of cart
ridges There was an abundance Of other
portable property in the store, but the
iucipient "peteumen" had eyes and pock-
cts only for firearms.
The entrance to the building was Sc
cured by breaking a board in the rear,
and crawling through the break.
The boys were arrested yesterday af-
ternoon and one of the guns secured by
the despoiled. The other is in the hands
Of the police. II is believed that the
boys viii have a laborious time in prov
ing their innocense and as this is about
the sixth time the Blakeulan's have been
touched by burglars, they feel that the
system is becoming tiresome and will
undoubtedly prosecute the alleged male
factors with vigor. 1t must be admit

creptitude. yet they are singularly in
