It seems sad to reflect that, after AL
the brilliant oratory on the question OF
woman suffrage, the Senate will prob
ably pick out some quiet, cloudy fore
noon when business is not pressing and
then slaughter the bill without any need
less cruelty. Like Bacon'o taxation
remedy, the ladies' have all the best OF
the argument, theoretically. Practically
that is entirely another matter.-Mont'
pelier journal.
We should like to have the esteemed
contemporary enlarge upon It's last sen
tence above. 1t is one thing to oljec
with reasons, and quite another to trea
the matter as mdeserving of specific
objection by the use of that mucI
abused ''practically.'

The New School Law.

The passage of the act providing for
professional supervision of public schools
with special reference and adaptation to
the needs of schools in the rural COM
m mites may be set down not only as
one of the most creditable works OF the
present legislature but as the most i'm
portant step in the evolutionary develop
ment of it's educational system taken by
the state in recent years. The credit
for its accomplishment belongs primarily
to the broad gagged and progressive
policy aud interchangeable zeal of the Hon.
Mason 5. Stone. state superintendent OF
education, who has conceived and worked
out its details with great skill and
against many obstacles and discourage
ments, and to Gov. Fletcher ID. Proctor
who from the day of his speech of ac-
ceptauce of the Republican nomination
last June has declared himself in favor
of some such undertaking for the i'm
provement of rural schools and exerted
in every honorable way his personal
talents and influence to bring it about.
Nor shout! the earnest and effective
work of the members of the legislative
committees to whom the bill was COM
mitted be overlooked. These men have
recognized from the outset the i'm
portance of the measure and have them
selves contributed an abundant share OF
the influences that have finally resulted
in its unanimous passage.
The Messenger has already on various
recent occasions outlined the essential
features of this new law and indicated
the comprehensive benefits that are Ger.
tain to result from its adoption. 1t il
enough to say now that the people O
Vermont have in this one piece of legis
lation alone satisfying guarantee o
the good faith of the government they
were induced to choose last Septembe
after a political campaign memorable
for the almost unparalleled attempts OF
the opposition to shake the confidence o
the voters in the integrity and patriotism
of their public servants and leaders
This new law is distinctively an admin
istration measure. 1t is another forchle
meaningful expression of the "New Yer
mont idea that is becoming the recog
nized policy of the state. When W
shall have coupled with it that othe
measure now pending that will inSur,

Especial to the IIERALpD

Montpelier, Nov. l3.-With more
than 800 bills yet to be considered, with
some important committee bills yet to
come in, aud with the most important
matters for consideration yet untouched,
the legislature of Vermont reconveued
Monday afternoon with small prospect
of adjournihg at the customary time.
Good work has been done 10y individual
members and committees, but lpgisa-
ton cannot he hurried, aud the usual
term of Vermont legislature, when a
large part of the members are entirely
unknown to each other and must get
acquainted before they understand each
others desires and plans is too short
when matters Of more than usual i'm
portance come up. Speaker Cheney
called the chairmen of the various com
mittees together last week and urged on
them the necessity Of more haste. He
could not well criticise the committees,
for they have worked long and hard,
and in fairness to people interested IN
matters before them they have delayed
hearings that all might be heard who
desired it. 1t is the people who are in
ia tn1 81
lators themselves who are really respon-
sible for Legislative delays. The aver
age member desires to get home at the
usual time and he able to attend to his
business after Thanksgiving.
In point of ability and honest desire
for actual public service the present
Legislature is superior to that of the
average year. The Speaker, from long
familiarity with legislative matters, i,
one Of the most efficient men who ever
occupied the chair. He has the good
will Of all the members, tries to treat
every Que cOurteously and fairly, is
willing to give any man the benefit OF
his experience, and is therefore able, in
formally and unotficially, to do a great
deal toward expediting legislation
Lieut.. Gov. Prouty, having had expert
ence i'll the House and Senate, and be
ginning the session with a wide &C
quaintance and full knowledge of de
tails of Legislative work, has been abb
to keep the Senate moving at a NOR
) rapid pace than usual, and the nev
rules, under which the committees ar
appointed by the lieutenant governor
instead of being elected by Senator
5 themselves, enabled him to start busi
/ ness properly.

lays and postponements, was the subieC

After Many Years.

An interesting character
visited the University of
Kansas last week and was
unnoticed in the crowd of
other visitors. J. II. Schaef-
fer, the man who laid the
cornerstone of old Fraser hall
was the visitor. He had not
visited the university since
he took his tools down the
hill in 1872. He was accom-
panied by a man who had
lived in the vicinity of Law
renee for thirty-two years,
and had never visited the
university before.
