Important Euactments.

Important Euactments.
Washington, March 5.-The num-
Der of bills introduced during the Fiji
ty-seventh congress aggregated 1880,
of which 3,9ls were reported and more
than 1000 passed. The house calendar
was clearer at the close of the con-
gress than it ever had been before,
only seventy-eight bills remaining TN
disposed of.
Important enactments were quite
numerous In the recent session, which
established department Of commerce
and labor with corporation pub
icity" bureau. authorized the construc-
ton of the Panama canal, passed the
Elkins anti-reDate act, provided for ex
pediting suits under the antitrust law,
sanctioned q general staff corps for
the army, passed the militia reorgan-
izati0n bill. enacted law to protect
the president from assassination, sus-
pended the tariff on coal, amended the
bankruptcy act, established a currency
system for the Philippines, provided
for the redemption Of Hawaiian silver
money, repealed the war taxes, pro-
vided civil government for our east
ern possessions and established con-
sular and diplomatic relations with
Cuba.
These important measures failed of
passing: The ship subsidy measure,
the statehood bill, the Aldr1ch fnan-
cial measure and the Philippines tar
III bill.

farmers In every instance. 1t il

President Smiths Address.

The following address at the meeting
of the Vermont Merino Sheep Breeders
association last week was crowded out
by other natter
Not being present at the meeting one
year ago when | was elected your presi-
dent, take this opportunity of thanking
you for such expression of your conf
dence and the honor conferred.
| shall take but very little of your
time in considering matters of interest
to our industry, feeling that each of you
are as well, or better informed than my
self, on all questions pertaining there
to.
In hasty review of the year just past
we find the reported condition of our
wool and wooden markets to be In a
very healthy state, the unprecedented
general prosperity in our country being
well shared by them, marked by slight
advance in our raw woods. This, SEEM
ingly, is not due to speculative trade,
but to the law of supply and demand,
and with no free trade accumulation in
sight, adverse national legislation I'M
likely, old stocks well worked off, there
is every prospect of prosperous new
year. The advance in foreign markets
has been greater than at home, with
marked shortage in reported produc-
ton.
While the home demand for our sheep
is not large, it is decidedly on the in
crease, and constantly enlarging
foreign demand.
With the restoration of peace in South
Africa comes the expected call from the
shepherds for stock to replenish their
flocks, and first in their choice is the
american Merino." We regret very
much the loss by fire of the last two
shipments to that country. not only for
the interest we have as breeders, but
also for the personal loss to those who
are willing to risk their property and
lives, upon whose success we in great
measure depend.
The adverse conditions in the Austral-
ian colonies remain materially I'M
changed, their long continued drought
being but slightly relieved by light local
rains. We would extend to the suffer-
ing pastoralists our sincere sympathy,
and trust they may soon receive their
full measure of the Divine promise, the
ralE, as well as the sunshine.

Did you notice that the Register car
ried 36 columns of advertising every
week in January? This is because bust
ness is good in Middlebury and also
because the business men, who are on
the ground, who can examine the sub
scription list and know what the actual
circulation of the Register is. find it pays
them to Increase their space even in as
dull month as January. The Register
is gaining rapidly in circulation in every
town in Addison county; the net gains
since June l, 1902, when the present
editor took charge of the paper being
over 600 copies. The actual average
paid circulation for January was 2,S20

SMALL POX.

Rochester Has n Veritabie Epidemic on
Its Hands.
The town of Rochester, Just across the
mountain, has a great epidemic Of small
pox in very light form, and practically
the whole town has been exposed Sat
urday there were Il well-developed cases
mainly in the western section of the
town and exposures without number had
been made throughout the whole town.
Great excitement prevails in Rochester
and in surrounding towns, because it is
not known how far the contagion has
spread. Everybody in the vicinity is
being vaccinated and the present cases
are being guarded, while most vlgilant
watch is being kept for new or suspl-
clous cases.
1t is in a light form so far and several
cases are already recovering while more
are Just coming down with the disease.
There have been no fatalities as yet.
1t is due to its light form that the dis
ease got such start before it was dis
covered. 1t has been in the western part
of the town for about month. 1t was
brought here by Faunce Greene, who
came here from Canada little over a
month ago, and went into the lumber
camp in that section to work. lie was
soon taken with the disease, but its
nature was not known, and it is now
well spread among the families of all
those employed at that camp.
A few days ago it WAS thought to be
small pox, and DR.. C. S. Caverly, of
Rutland, member of the state board of
health, was notified. He came to town
and made an investigation, pronounc-
ing the disease Enthusiastically small
pox.
So many houses had become infected
that it was deemed impractical to isolate
the disease in a pest house, so special
policemen have been appointed and are
now guarding each house where 1t has
developed. The cases are under the
supervision of Drs. Campbell and Hunt
ington, Or. Huntington being the health
officer Of the town.

Another of the great features which
are to distinguish Scrlbner's Magazine
during the current year begins in the
February number. "The Presidential
Office" by James Ford Rhodes, is the
opening article in the series by various
authors on the government of the United
States. 1t is the aim of these papers to
show our government actually in opera
ton; revertng to the past sufficiently to
trace the development of power and re-
sponsibility in each department; discuss
ing the present in order to show the
machinery of government as it now
works; and looking to the future with
its great. problems in view, all pressing
for solution. Mr.. Rhodes, the we'll
known historian, has had extraordinary
opportunities to acquires knowledge of
the manner in which presidents do their
work, and in this article he passes acute
comments, not only on the earlier presi-
dents. but upon Lincoln, Cleveland, Nc.
Kinley and Roosevelt. His paper is a
study of the office, and, in addition. of
the impression made upon the office by
the personality Of the great men who
have held it. Other articles in this
series will be written by such eminent
authorities as Justice Brewer, of the
Supreme Court, Senator Lodge, Captain
Mahan and Governor Taft.
