Rumors of EStrangement Bet7ceen
Tzco Senators Unfounded.

Washington. April a.-The relations Of the junior
Senator from New York Mr.. Root and the senior
Senator from Rhode Island. Mr. Aldrch, have been
made the occasion of the widest sort of speculation
since MI Root entered the Senate Senator Root
has. from time to time. been reported as opposing
every policy for which Senator Aldrich has stood,
from the general policy of protection to the details
OF the maximum and minimum provision OF the
pending tariff measure. In view of the fact that
Mr Root. during his brief service in the upper
house of Congress has been in thorough sympathy
with the Senator from Rhode island. such specu-
lation occasions only amusement among those who
familiar with the facts. although they appre-
ciate that elsewhere a wholly erroneous inc-assion
may be created.
When the Payne bill was made public the maxi
mum and minimum clause met with the hearty
disapprovaI of the Senate leaders. was told in
these dispatches at the time and the opposition
OF Senator AldrCh, which he expressed at the
White House in uncertain terms, was the strong
er because it was heartily shared by Mr.. Root
with whom the chairman of the Finance Commit
tee had consulted on the subject.
Subsequently ;he policy suggested to the Presi-
dent by Mr.. Aldrich which contemplates the en-
forCement of the minimum rates for a specific
period of nine months year, after which the
maximum rates shall apply except in cases where
the President thinks that all proper concessions

but Mr.. Aldrich has invited Mr.. Root to meet with
the subcommittee when that subject Is taken up,
and there is no doubt that the Republican mem
bers will be largely guided by the former Secre-
tary of State. whose judgment in asi-diplomattc
matters IS highly respected. When, therefore. the

According to SHADES Vermont Pap
ers, which form the chief official rec
ord of the early history of Vermont;
it was customary when Vermont
first set up a government for herself
to enact laws for one year only
sort of try them on the dog as it
were. In those days the Legislature
met every year, and sometimes held
brief sessions in different parts of
the state twice in year Unless law
proved satisfactory enough so that it
was re-enacted the second year it
passed out of existence The plan
had many advantages along with
some apparent faults. It would
often be impossible to judge OF the
merits of any far reaching measure
in one or two years, but were the
period made long enough for a fair
test it might help in keeping the
state law book down TO reasonable
size.
