The reciprocity bill was passed by
the House of Representative Friday
by a vote of 265 to SO. Both the Yer
mont congressman, Messrs. Foster
and Plumley, voted against the bill.
Probably each of them voted their
personal conviction on the question,
as the canvass has shown that Yer
mont is pretty evenly divided on the
subject, with a majority Of the far
mers opposing, and a majority OF
other people in favor This line OF
division is however only approximate
" correct in this section of the state
at least for a surprising number of
the farmers are in favor of reciproc-
ity, while the number of village peo-
pie who are opposed is larger than
would at first be suspected. Except
for the dyed-in-the-wool Democrats,
workingmen voters who can remem-
Der back to the great depression Of
1884, are in favor of being mighty
careful in monkeying with the protec-
tive system. theoretically they are
in favor of reciprocity and of lower
tariff duties but having seen the work
ingmen of the country starve for two
years and suffer for two more under
tariff reform" they want the chan
ges, to be made with great care and
by easy stages.

Speaker Howe and Attorney Gen
eral Sargent will have to compare
notes. The Attorney General says
that no armories can be built because
the Legislature made no appropria-
ton for that purpose. The speaker
says armories can be built-Bellows
Falls Times.
The speaker has never said any
thing of the kind or anything that by
any fair sort of Interpretation can
possibly be twisted to mean that.
The speaker has said that the back
ers of the armory proposition declar-
ed repeatedly that no special appro-
priation would be asked and that the
regular appropriation for the military
department was enough to enable the
building of one armory a year. That
WIS the argument, we believe, which
passed the bill. The situation now Is
that the military department has the
same amount of money to spend as
usual. The speaker has never ex-
pressed an opinion as to whether
this money or any of it can be devot-
ed to armory building. Legal techni-
calities and hair splitting lawyers and
judges stand in the way of many good
and desirable things. Possibly this
is one of them. We have never
claimed to know

The Waterbury Record issued a
most creditable daily issue during the
session of the Vermont Methodist
Conference at Waterbury last week.
The Record is one OF the most sue
cessful OF Vermont weekly papers due
to the fact that its editor, Mr.. Harry
c. Whitehill, is always full of energy,
hustle and public spirit.

Vermont was lucky that its legisla-
tors raised their salaries from three
dollars per day to only four. two years
ago, for we note that the Illinois leg
islature has just voted a raise from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year, almost dou-
bled.-Barre Times.
Little by little it leaks out that the
Vermont legislature was very modest
and even timid in it's salary raising,
as compared with what it might have
done.
