GEN. NC CuLLorGn,s MESSAGE.

Not a few compliments have been
given Governor McCollough's message as
IA short, business-like document, the read
ing of which isl genuine pleasure. How
ever one may differ from the governor in
relation to the various matters discussed,
it must be conceded that his views are
presented in concise, yet comprehensive
manner, betokening the man accustomed
to deal with broad affairs. He goes still
further than Governor Stickney went in
urging a reduction in expenses, by
expressing the opinion that all the ex-
penses of the state government can be
met by indirect taxation. This has Just
been practically accomplished in the
state of New York, and the success at
tending the labors of Tax Commissioner
Cushman would seem to Justify the hope
that the time may soon come when
no direct tax will be necessary in Yer
mont.-Free Press.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES.
APPROPRIATIONS.

The st. Adams Messenger is advocat-
ing general appropriation bill, that is
to have all the appropriations presented
in one bill. believing that it would be in
the interests of both justice and econ
omy. The News can not look at the
matter in this way and believes that
such a measure would be exactly oppo-
site to the end desired by the Messenger.
In punching appropriations legislator
would be obliged to vote for expendi-
lures which in his judgment were I'M
warranted in order to sustain others
which he deemed worthy. The Messen-
gers scheme gives grand opportunity
to tack OH unwarranted riders which it
would be necessary to recognize in order
to pass the appropriation bill. 1t works
that way in national legislation and the
same would he true In state matters. In
Congress it is necessary to have a gen
eral appropriation bill in order to save
time, but such economy in Vermont leg
isation is altogether unnecessary.
Every bill for expenditures should stand
or fall upon its own merits, and worthy
objects are likely to suffer less in this
way than If there was an aggregate Of
appropriations in which useless eXpendi-
lures had to be favorably considered in
order to get through the bill; and the
total appropriations through bills taken
up singly would probably be less. The
News hardly expects that such an I'M
warranted innovation as advocated by
the Messenger will be seriously con-
sidered by the Legislature. Mortified

his attentions to the interests and de-

a powerful following in the state. He
never posed as great statesman, but he
made IA more useful lawmaker for his

Vermont veteransin Parade.

The Vermont veterans had $50 men in
line at the grand parade which was the
climax of the thirty-sixth annual en-
campment of the G. A. r. held in Wash
ington. The men marched as body
and not by posts.
A meeting of the Vermont veterans
was held at which resolutions on the
death of Gen. Grout were passed. The
resolutions praise the public services of
Gen. Grout in behalf of the soldiers.
Many delegations from other depart
ments visited the Vermont veterans at
their hotel, giving evidence that the
veterans of the Green Mountain state
are popular abroad as well as at home.
