SOLDIERS HOME BILLS.

received attention in two bills intro
duc"d by Mr.. Howe Of that town. one
nppropriating $4,000 annually for the
coming biennial term for the support
of that institution. and the other APP
proGiating $4,000 toward payment Of
extraordinary expenses that have been
incurred at the home during the past
year.
The present statute regarding VICAR

introduced to-day by Mir DeBoer OF
Montpelier which prohibits anyone
not member Of that organization
from wearing the badge Of the Ladies'
Of tho Grand Army OF the Republic
Mr.. Barber OF Brattleboro intro
duced bin making the number Of
Judges Of the supreme court five in
stead of four as at present consti
tutcd. The fact that the Joint assem-
bly, to-day elected judges Of the SUI
prone and superior courts for the
coming biennial term and the strong
sentiment In both branches OF tho
Legislature against increasing the
number of supreme court Judges will
make the passage Of Mr.. riarber's bill
doubtful. Members Of the judiciary

who are supposed to know most about
these matters, are of the opinion that
the supreme court Judges are, to say

The republican papers are unit
ed on the proposition that Bryan
is the weakest man the democrats
could nominate. This, evidently,
is the reason why they are using
their columns so freely to influence
the nomination of some other per-
son. 1t will be remembered that
four years ago these same papers
were all clamoring for Judge Park
er's nomination, and we still re-
member the result. Is anybody so
stupid that he can not recognize
the fact that the reason the repub.
lican trust-owned press doesn't
want to see Bryan nominated, is
because they know he is the strong
est and best man the party could
put forward?

"Uncle Joe" Cannon seems to
have about the same opinion of his
presidential boom that the rest of
the country has, Judging by the
following story related by the Chi
cago Post: Speaker Cannon one
evening stood in the receiving line
at the Washington residence of
Vice President Fairbanks, passing
kindly word and grip with friends
as they came along. At length his
own daughter approached, and
drawing up his spare frame, he
grasped her hand in formal fashion
and inquired with well-assumed
disinterestedness: Your name,
please?' Lydia Pinkham, replied
Miss Cannon, amiably. Well,
Lydia, my dear, we are well met,
the speaker responded, for l guess
there's just about as much good in
your remedies as there is in my
presidential BOOM "
