LEGISLATIVE WARNINGS

The New Hampshire legislature is to
convene next week, Just when the Yer
mont Legislature is returning to its work
after the holiday vacation; and the Con-
rord Monitor expresses the hops that
the members OF the New Hampshire
assembly win get down to work imme.
diately, that Democrats will be given
due recognition on the important com
mittees and that the party promises on
which the members were elected, will be
respected. There was time last fail
when the Vermont newspapers were
wishing for the same things as the con.
temporary, but they have long since got
past that period of anticipation as they
saw the chances for realization OF the
hopes slipping. OF the three hopes ex.
pressed by the New Hampshire paper,
The second was the only one realized;

minority. Nevertheless, the general fail.
ure Of the realization in Vermont does
not preclude the contemplation of New
Hampshire's hopes for its legislature,
and if the legislators in the neighboring
state are wise, they will be guided some,
what by the failures in Vermont. At
any rate, we in Vermont urge, with the
Concord contemporary diligence and
fidelity in work, as expressed in the
following paragraph:
"A short session, but one entirely sat
isfsctory in its accomplishments, can
result from the united action of all
those in the general court, whatever
their party designation, who believe in
the principles OF progress in state and
nation"
Just now the Vermont legislature is
being quite severely blamed by the news.

TO party platforms, but there is still
opportunity to reconsider action that
was taken before the holiday recess.
which leads to the hope that the general
assembly Of 1901 may yet get back
into the good graees Of the public.

The liquor saloons in Bennington took
their own course as regards closing on
last Monday, which day was generally
recognized as a legal holiday, inasmuch
as Christmas fell on the Sunday gust
preceding. Probably it would have been
held that Monday was legal holiday
had the matter come to a test; and in
that case the Bennington saloon keepers
would have been compelled to close their
places Of business. As It was, thew
seem TO have taken advantage Of pos
sible loophole without due warrant. The

punishment OF death shall be executed
previous to the first day Of January
after the close Of the session Of the

II am reedy to post a forfeit of 81 900

it must be agreed that the winner take

The holiday rush OF business in the
Barre post Office illustrates anew the
necessity for more ample accommoda-
tons for the federal department in this
city. A single room, though large as the
post Offices present location in the city
hall, is far from adequate to meet the
needs of the work. Even under normal
conditions, the present location is far
too cluttered for the number of workers
required. just now that new federal
building looks long way off, too, al
though the appropriation has gone
through.
