TACT OF GENERAL PLUMER.

General Plumer is noted for his
tact in dealing with colonial troops"
says L. p. O'Connor, ''and recently
| heard of an incident during the
Boer war in which this quality was
severely tested.
"One day in camp a particularly
tough proposition of an Australian,
newly sent up from the base, got
hold of some liquor and speedily be-
came mad drunk. Raving and roar
ing about the camp, the Australian
came upon General Plumer standing
spick and span at the door of his
tent and, uttering some ribald
abuse, rushed at the general and
struck him heavy blow on the
chest before any one could inter
fere.
81 need hardly say that such an
offense was punishable by death, but
General Plumer merely said to the
onlookers who rushed up:
"'Oh, take him away. He's drunk
and doesn't know what he is doing
"And that was all the notice the
general took of the affair. But the
delinquent's comrades were not SC
lenient."

If the French republic should
ever be sick it will not be for want
of doctors to look after its health.
About one-third of the chamber OF
deputies and half the senate are
composed of practicers of the heal
ing art. The various ministries
have plenty of physicians. The re.
cent appointment of DR.. Gastinel
to the ministry Of public instruction
brings their number up to sixty.
The ministry of the interior has no
fewer than four physicians. The
ministry of public instruction has
two, the ministry of foreign affairs
has four, the ministry of finance has
six and the ministry Of public works
seven. But the record is held by
the department of posts and tele-
graphs, for Mr.. Berard, the under
secretary, has at the disposal of his
department no fewer than twenty
seven male doctors, two surgeons
and five women doctors.

LEGISLATURE

The legislature did considerable
routine business Monday afternoon,
after the Sunday recess, more men,
bers than usual being in their seats
on the opening Of the session.
The principal debate of the after
noon was in the House over the bill
introduced by Mr.. Aitken of Wood.
stock, regulating the importation of
cattle. The discussion was over
proposed amendments, all OF which
were finally rejected and the bill was
passed in its original form. The
amendment proposed by Mr.. Butter
field Of Weathersield," empowering
the state board of cattle commission
ers to 60 into any herd in the state
and inspect the cattle for tuberculo-
sis created the liveliest breeze and
the amendment was finally rejected
by 4 laundering "no." A similar
amendment was proposed when this
bill was before the committee on ag-
riculture, but the committee refused
to accept it.
"PoST NO BILLS"
Among the bills signed by the
governor Wednesday was one int, o.
duced by Representative Aitken of
Woodstock, an act forbidding the
posting Of signs or advertisements
on bridges or highway fences.
SUFFRAGE BILL KILLED.

We rmont and the Tariff.

The New England senators are not
rushing headlong into the work OF
tariff revision-not a bit of it-and
our own Vermont senators are as
cautious as the rest of them.
The New York Herald interviewed
Senators Proctor and Dillingham;,
smong others, on the subject.
Senator Proctor said "some sched-
ules might be changed to meet the
changed conditions, but the matter
should be undertaken with great
care. l don't believe there need be
any haste about it."
Senator Dillingham; was quoted as
follows: 81 am not in favor OF a
general tearing up of the schedules.
TI.;-e,s 40 obey are seem 10 suit
our senators fairly well, but the gath
ering sentiment against the special
extortions of the present tariff law
may touch them after awhile. A
freer trade has got to come before
long; there is demand for it and
It found expression in the election Of
Mr.. Douglas in Massachusetts. 1t is
natural enough to find the New Eng
land delegation in congress lined VI
on the side of the special tariff-fos
tered interests, and it might be
asked, what have New England sen.
ators ever done-and some of them
have held on to their seats for long
time-in behalf of the commercial in.
terests of the people they represent
in behalf of the extension of trade
and wider markets?

Among the recommendations

lowings
GAS to the Directors of the State

view Of the foregoing acts your COM
mittee is OF the opinion that their
usefulness is so impaired that their
continuation in office would be Diet
rimental to the interests Of the state.
GAS to the Superintendent Of the
State Prison-We are of the opinion
from the same facts that his contin-
uation in Office is detrimental both
to the state prison and the discipline
therein"
