A curfew Law for st. Johnsbury.

Thew. c. T. U.and the Woman's Club
are agitating the matter of having cur
few law for St. Johnsbury and the idea
has been very favorably received by all
who have given it thought. In St.
Adams, Burlington and Rutland such an
ordinance is in force and reports from
those cities as to the workings of the law
are quite satisfactory. There is just as
much need for such law in ST. Tohns-
bury and it would very properly come
before the voters of the village at the
annual meeting in January. In keeping
our young children at home evenings a
great responsibility rests upon the par
ents which cannot be shifted to the
officers of the law who are always ready
to do their duty so far as they can. The
adoption of curfew law would be a
good thing, but it would lose good
deal of its value if the parents did not
give it their hearty support.

MONTPELIER Gossip.

Especial Correspondence of the CALEDoNIAN.l
Montpelier, Nov S.-If the legislature
is to finish up in business-like shape be-
fore Thanks giving all the work it had on
hand when it took the Friday Wednes-
day recess, it will have to move rapidly,
since there are but few days left. Caucus
reform, educational matters, and changes
in the liquor law will demand serious at
tention-to say nothing of scores of other
measures that will consume time even if
they are of minor importance. On Tues
day of last week 1877 bills were introduced
in the house-making the total there
400 to 100 in the senate. A great many
of these $50 measures will of necessity
get little or no attention in the short
time that remains to the customary clos
ing date. The intention is of course to
get through as usual, but it wouldn't
take much of "break' to interfere with
that intention and make return after
Thanksgiving necessary.
The slack Bill Reported.
The special committee appointed to
consider the several measures introduced
on the important subject Of caucus re-
presented by Senator Slack oftlns county,
with some amendments. AS we have al
ready given the CALIFORNIAN readers an
outline of the provisions of the original
measure, it is only needful to speak ofthe
amendments proposed by the committee.
These provide for the fling with the sec
rotary of state, on or before April first, of
a certificate under oath, containing the
names OF members of the state and dis
trict committees of the respective politi-
cal parties; for the filing with the
county clerks OF a sworn certificate con-
tanning names of members of the county
committees; and for the filing with the
town clerks certificates containing the
names of members of the town commit
tees of the respective parties; these COM
mittees are to be recognized as the prop
er parties to call the several state, dis
trict and county conventions end the
town caucuses. The ballots are to be oil
uniform size and color. and to be fur
nished by the committees above referred
TO. Caucuses of the respective parties are
all to be held on the same day. the date
to be fixed IN advance by the committees.
A penalty of 800 is imposed for the use
Of money to influence voters, and for at
tempting to vote at another caucus.
The other features of the bill-declaration
ofintention, preparation ofcl eek list. etc.,
-remain intact This bill came up in the
senate on Friday morning and was or
dered to lie and be printed. 1t will come
up for final disposition little later, and
the debate on it is bound to be interest
ing.
CONCERNING Salaries.
Two bills to increase members salaries
to four dollars a day were killed last
week, and one OF them reconsidered and
held over. A measure giving the assist
ant judges of county courts larger salary
was killed without murmer IN its favor,

J. L. Southwick, managing editor OF
the Burlington Free Press, is candidate
for collector of the port of Burlington.
Mr.. Southwick has labored in season and
out of season for the success of the party
in Vermont and has earned political pre-
ferment. Besides, he is an all round good
fellow who would fill the position with
credit to the state. The CALIFORNIAN
earnestly hopes he will be recommended
to this place by the Vermont delegation.

A Christmas Tree Truste
An Advertising Thought.

Advertising is seed sowing. A rabbit
was never known to walk into pie, and
customers are scarce into shop that
takes no pains to get them there. An out
ot-date advertisement is like blind cat
in barn full of mice. The world takes
man at his own valuation. A dumb
hawker sells but few curry puffs.

Current Press Comment.

A Good Word for Editor S0uthwiclk.
Southwick of the Free Press for collect
er of the port of Burlington? Why not
IF there is man on the press of the state
who has done careful, concentrated and
conscientious work for the republican
party, it's certainly Southwick. He has
never asked for thing, kept right on
plugging for the best things for Vermont
and has done respectable amount of
constructive writing that can well set
the rest of us to thinking. IF DIN Mer-
ril has been attached to the faucet long
enough and a change of receptacle is
needed, then by all means let it be South
wick. That's my opinion.-TH II. L. Hind
ley in the Brattleboro Reformer.
A Christmas Tree Truste
The slaughter of spruce trees for Christ
mas has already begun, But think of
the foolishness of Vermont farmers who
are willing to cut and haul them for a
paltry FIVE cents each. In the first place
many of them ought to be allowed to
grow and become worth more dollars
than they now bring cents. In the sec
ond place, even for the purposes for which
they are now sold, they are worth five
times five cents. And the farmers might
get that. much if they would club together
and demand It'll Barre Telegram.

The woman's suffrage bill came so near
passing the House that it's great pity
it failed of passage. The time is coming
when Vermont will have woman suffrage
and the legislature that passes the bill
will become famous for the fair treat
ment of the other sex.

that Senator Stephen b. Ekins is

the state. The seat of Senator Scott,
and not of Elkins, is at stake, and Mr.

So the word is being passed along
