Our Probstioners.

The State commission on proba
ton, composed of Judges Taylor and
stanton and Gen. Tillotson of st
Adams. has made its biennial report
to the legislature and it wiz be
found of interest to all students OF
criminal reform.
The commission, it seems, had ~
cases brought before it for action,
including almost every offence short
of capital crimes, OF the respondents
1873 were paroled by county court.
256 by municipal and justice courts,
and 2SS by the governor. II is not
to be thought for a moment that our
chief executive investigated 2SS
criminal cases and decided to place
the respondents on probation. Far
from IT, II is the practice of the
superintendent of our penal instltu-
lions to recommend to the governor
the release of all prisoners at the eX-
piration of their minimum terms
provided they have observed the rules
of the institution during such terms.
and the governor usually grants such
prisoners what is termed a "condi-
tional pardon" requiring them to
observe such conditions as he sees
tit TO impose until the expiration OF
the time covered by the maximum
sentence In this way approximately
half the cases now in hands OF
the probation officers have arisen.
As to the court cases. the law pro
vides that "any court in the county
before he is committed to a penal
secuted for a crime" may in its dis
erection. after conviction and sen
tence place such person lin the
care ana custody Of the probation
officer for such time and upon such
conditions as IL may prescribe. Tn
der this law, any person, convicted
of any crime. may be placed on pro
baton by the court which tried him,
before he is committed to a penal
institution or otherwise compelled TO
satisfy the sentence of The law. and
if he mlfns the conditions of his re-
lease. he may eventually be dis
charged absolutely. It should be I'M
derstoOd. however. that the admiss-
ion to probation is entirely in the
discretion of the court and is pri-
pending and II are delinquent. The
report is confined to statistics, We
may add. and has nothing to say Of
the practical working of the law on
the moral side though it says: The
system. even in its present undo
veloped condition, has resulted in a
great deal OF good, Individual cases
which have come to the attention of
the Commission might be cited in
support of this statement The Com
mission firmly believes that with
proper laws ana management the
probation system is a great force
tending to the betterment OF moral
conditions among that class Of PEG
pie. both men and women, boys aud
girls. who are easily Influenced, aud

LACK OF MONEY
Appropriation Bills Many and Large
In Present Legislature.


Under the heading Pork Barrel
has a limit the Montpelier cores
pondent of the Rutland Herald writes
as follows in Mondays issue:
MONTPELIER, Nov. 17-That the
time has arrived for the Legislature
to take heed of the demand for econ
omy was brought to the attention OF
the House recently and more than
one member had shivers of apprehen-
sion when he thought of some pet
scheme introduced by himself calling
for an appropriation. AS referred to
several times in the Herald's legisla-
tive reports there has apparently
been but little thought given to the
proposition of where the money is to
come from to meet the demands
made by the various measures call
ing for appropriations. For a week
past it has been a current topic OF
conversation that unless some phil
anthropist makes his appearance
with his purse strings open 1t VIII be
necessary to levy a direct state
tax This condition of affairs was
very forcibly illustrated when Mr..
Weeks of Middlebury read the ap-
pended statement for the committee
on ways and means and stated that
there was a possibility that state
tax would be necessary. The follow
ing is the statement from the commit
tee on ways and means:

FABRIC GLOVES ARE BOOMING
Long Gloves, Mostly in White, the
Strongest In Demand.


Strongest In Demand.
A good spring business has been re-
ported in fabric gloves this year. One
of the largest manufacturers in the
country declared he had received the
best orders in the history of the
house. Fully 60 per cent of this bust
ness was booked on long gloves.
Most of the demand was for whites,
with blacks fairly well represented.
Colored gloves were slow. The early
Easter next year is expected to give
the fabric houses a chance to do more
business than usual, as that day is
generally accepted as the dividing
line between the kid and fabric sea-
sons.
