Senator Emery of Orange was the
only senator to cast vote against the
majority license bill when it came up
for the last time in the senate. We
admire the courage of the man in vot-
ing for what he believed to be right.
Why did not the senators from Orleans
county place themselves on record at
this time?

The Russell cattle commission bill
was ordered to third reading in the
house last week by vote of 152 to 73.
This bill was the work of those who
are opposed to the work of the cattle
commissioners and who would have
been glad to do away with the COM
mission if they bad been able. The
bill should have been killed.

The tuberculosis question was con-
sidered by the legislature last week
and considerable time was spent in
discussing the Russell bill Several
who opposed giving the commission
ers sufficient power to enable them to
perform efficient work based their
argument on the fact that DIR. Koch
has stated that he was not sure it was
possible to contract tuberculosis by
drinking the milk or eating the meat
of diseased COW. Laying aside all
Question of whether tuberculosis can
be contracted in this manner or not,
can it be possible that there exists in
Vermont to-day a man who would
knowingly allow his family to partake
of the milk or meat of diseased COW?
We believe not. This argument
should not and we believe did not
carry any weight whatever with it.

Remember the HOur 9:3O.

Chariemagne once caught his secretary kissing the Emperors daughter at mid night. The lady, that her lovers foot steps might not be traced In the snow, carried him home on her back. The Elm peror heard of 1t and made her take the secretary for the rest of her life, as she was not at all unwilling to do.
 When Cardinal John of Lorraine was presented to the Duchess of Savoy, she gave him her hand to kiss, greatly to the indignation of the irate churchman. How. madam" exclaimed he. "am I Queen. my mistress. who Is the greatest Queen in the whole world. and shall l not kiss you, a dirty httie Duchess? 1 would have you know I kissed as hand some ladies and of as great or greater family than yours" Without more ado. he made for the lips of the naughty Portuguese Princess and. despite her re- sistance, kissed her three times on the mouth before he released her with an exultant laugh.
 But in some quarters of the globe the practice is not favored, if. indeed, 1t is known. New Zealanders, TahitianS, Pa puans and Esquimaux are still to be civilized in this respect and Africa is the largest non-kissing area on the fact of the earth. John Buyan denounced it in no measured terms and the Puritans looked upon 1t with extreme disfavor. no woman was allowed to kiss even her Nchild on the Sabbath or fasting day, under heavv penalties.
 A few years ago when the King of Sweden visited the Pone. instead of talk ing His Holiness hand and kissing it. he kissed him on both cheeks. The last infraction of paoal etiquette occurred when General Grant went to see PiuS TX and shook hands with him, saying. "Very glad to see you, sir

prisoners often confined therein. We find the court house building IS In a very dirty and unkept condition, and recom- mend that the sheriff be required in future to remedy the same. The poor house is kept as we'll as we could ex- pect. and the inmates have no complaint of their treatment. We recommend that the payment of sums of money from time to time to indigent persons who are unwilling to become inmates of that i'm stitution be discontinued and they be re- quired to go to the poor house or cease to receive aid. We have examined all the official bonds now in force and effec- tive and find them good and sufficient, as far as we were able to ascertain. The committee on books and records of the county officials report them neatly and correctly kept We find that there is no place in the court house to keep the records of the county safely in the event of fire. The chief of police furnished us with list of supposed gambling houses and of persons who supposedly frequent the same and we have done what we conceived to be our duty in Investigating this lawlessness. Our in vestigations have demonstrated that such institutions can be suppressed by an active, constant and perpetual system of police raiding. We believe that such an establishment be put in condition that q raid may be expected at any time. such establishment must go out of Business for want of custom, We are gratlfed to find that as to serious crimes there ap- pears to be a diminution when compared to findings of former grand juries, at this time of the year. We have examined all the road superintendents whose duty 1t is to report to the grand jury at this term of the court, and we are satisfied that the present system of road supervis- ion but entails a large expense upon the county without bringing corresponding benefit. and would recommend that it be abolished. These reports are required to be made in" October and February of each year, and when as 1t has occurred at this term. a new superintendent is ap- pointed in January. his reports amounts to nothing, and often in case of an old one we find he depends almost entirely upon what the overser tells him for his report to the grand jury.
 The report of license by the Probate Judge shows that most, if not all, of the license have been paid for the current year. The license imposed by. the City Council for buying witness certificates, works a hardship, and is an imposition

Why did YOU quit Coffee?

Not Up in Lingerie.

Rear Admiral Schley was visiting in Nashville last week. says The New York Commercial. The Committee in charge of his reception. wanting to do the right thing by their guest. telegraphed last ley Gaines. to know what salute or other honors should be accorded MT. Gaines at once made inquiry of the Navy De- pertinent and wired back the informa- ton:
 "A salute of thirteen guns, with two ruffles and fuorfsihes."
 Of couree this meant the ruffles of the drums and the fiourishes of the trumpets. The Nashville people. however, were at a loss to understand.
 'PIease tell us'' wired the chairman of the committee. what you mean by ruffles and fourshes? Wc are not up on lingerie"

The grand jury of Montgomery County, which has been In session for nearly two weeks, filed its, report last night at 6.3o. The jury finds that the financial condi- ton. Of the county Is deplorable- This he jury said WAS mainly due to the fail- ure of the bank in which the county funds had been deposited ea. ,e.
 The county is now borrower and Will be for some time. .-.--.,-- rst..t.
 The jury a csrtained that the bonds Of the county officials we're good. The jury calls attention to the proneness of the bond companies to take advantage or technicallties. and recommends that the county withdraw this power from them.
 The jury found that the county jail was inadequate to meet the demands made upon it, and declares that the county court house is in a filthy cofdi- tion. The jury's report recommends the constant raiding of gambling houses as the proper remedy for the evil. The Jury found the present system of road super vision faulty and expensive, and recom- mends it's abolishment. The jury report to Judge Thomas Is altogether interest ing reading. and 1t is here given in full: To the Honorable. William H. Thomas.

 me SLdHo JhTy ndfiHB peeH III Sesslon for nearly two weeks has completed it's laborsy and instructed me to submit it's final report We regret to have to say that we find the financial condition of the county to be deplorable, because of the failure of the bank of Josiah Morris & Go. The county instead of having d large sum in its treasury, is now ber- rower and must continue so or some time to come. The proneness of the surety companies now allowed by law to make official bonds, to contest their liability in the courts. suggest that per haps 1t was an unwise movement to give them such capacity.

correspondent is reminded by the death of Sir William MacCOrmac of som of the eccentricities of the distinguished surgeons father. says The London Ex- press.
 A tasseled walking stick. besides being the inseparable companion of Dr. Mac Cormae played an important part in his prescriptions, and Is still remembered In Belfast.
 Whenever the doctor was called in o attend a patient in the slums of the city the first thing he did was to poke his stick through the window of the sick chamber. He was keen believer in fresh air. but not too much, and the cIrcum inference of the stick in his opinion. just offered the measure of ventilation that he thought requisite.
 This way the walking stick was not confined to- the windows of the poor man dwelling. but was extended to the win dow of the mansion house or the palace itself. After a glance at the patient, Dr. MacCormac would cross the room and poke a hole through pane of glass.
