The troubles Of the state treasurer
have begun, il seems. A prospective
heavy shortage in the department Of
Justice is reported, resulting from an
unexpectedly heavy increase in court
expenses ana Jail maintenance. The lat-
ter comes about principally from the
changes in the Law requiring commit
ment to county iails, instead Of the
house Of correction, for minor offences,
such a. intovication, breach Of the peace
and Taeraney The purpose Of the
change was to save the state expenses
in commitment fees and prevent the

economically and the easy life has had
its attractions to the lazy and shiftless,
as compared with the hard grind at Rut-
land. The house Of correction reports
plenty Of room and Is being filled as fast
as practicable, for the jail deliveries, but
the cost Of transfer Is considerable and
the saving Of doubtful extent

ARERpEEN BusINEss ouIET.

In spite Of the fact that the granite
cutting industry in the eastern states
at least is not rushed at the present
time, we may expect considerable adj
dition Of granite cutters from Scotland
because Of the fact that the business
there is the worst it has been for a
long time. "The Quarry a paper which
is devoted to the stone interests in the
British Isles, says that seldom if ever,
has the granite manufacturing trade in
Aberdeen been in a more depressed con
dition than at the present time, and the
prospects for its picking mp are far
from bright Probably the bulk Of Che
granite cutting about Aberdeen Is for
building work, and since building opera
tions on the large scale are at low ebb,
the present dull times are easily ex.
planned. Granite monuments, according
to some authority, are considered az lux.
uries over there and there can, therefore,
be little in that department Of the bust
ness to give promise Of resumption Of
work The conditions as regards the
building trade are summed up by the
same journal as quoted above in the
following sentences; Although granite
manufacturers arc receiving good many
inquiries, there are few orders coming
this way. II goes without saying that
many Of the inquiries do not count for
much, as they do not materiaIize nor
produce any fruit. Granite merchants
are often asked to quote for Jobs that
they never hear Of again and are not
even afforded the satisfaction Of know
ing II the order has been placed any
where"
Such being the state Of affairs about
Aberdeen, which is one Of the great
feeders for the granite cutting industry
in Barre and other places in the United
states, there viii Be a tendency to drive
many cutters to cross the ocean in the
hope that the outlook viii be more fay.
orable for steady work here. The pres
emit outlook in the eastern states is not,
however, sufficiently roseate to warrant
holding out any great inducements; but
business IS bound to pick up as the
conditions in general are settled. Per-
haps By that time there win be work
enough for ali those who wish to cast
their lot with us. Let US hope 80, At

CURRENT COMMENT
The Granite Trade outlook.

More or less conflicting reports from
prominent concerns in various localities,
make it dificult 70 sum up the condition
81 trade Ia the monument industry at
the present time. While many report
favorably others do not, yet all OF our
information is very optimistic in discuss
ing the near future In the majority
Of cases the reports give a much better
business showing for the first few
months Of this wear than for the curre-
spending period Of 1908, nor do they
place tie blame for whatever depression
exists upon the tariff agitation and un-
certainty. but rather upon the backward
season. On the whole while trade does
not inspire an the confidence which ac-
knowledged prosperity makes positive
we have no information which does not
impart a full belief in rapidly improving
conditions to the end Of making 1909
far ahead Of its predecessor. From ev-
cry source there appears to be q full
knowledge Of lots Of work in sight which
only awaits The particularly favorable
time for its distribution Collections,
too, have been improving generally

the monument business situation IL

died as the volume 81 work increases,
and the standard Of trade ethics i inn

throughout all the leading avenues OF
manufacture and commerce, there are
decided gains ii the volume Of business
and in the increase Of orders and when
fha etariH tinkerinvH u done and that
vexed question disposed Of for time,
conditions are ripe for prosperity again.

nothing short Of the best Of professional
base ball and consequently went in be-
yond its depth. And the same thing is
pretty much true Of the other cities in
