SENATE APPROVES
PROGRESSIVE BILL

per Cent. Loans on Real Els.
tate Mortgages.

Montpelier. Nov. 1.--Thoroughly pro-
Ercssivc was the action OF the Senate this
morning in passing the Rabbit bill, S. 81,
eSempting from taxation money loaned
on real estate mortgages at a rate of in
terost not exceeding five per cent. This
had been made special order. but the
vote was rcconsldercd and the bill came
up with an amendment pending extend
Ing the exemption to money loaned at a
similar rate on real or personal property
or a bond for a deed. This amendment.
which was offered by Mr.. Laird. was in
reality a move to substitute for the Bah
lit bill the bill introduced by him yes
terday. He Withdrew this amendment
and Mr.. Croft of Rutland moved that tha
rate be changed to four and a half per
cent. Mr.. Croft asked for yea and nav
vote, which was taken, and he voted alone
for the amendment. The bill was then
passed. 1t Is looked on By the senator's
as n very desirable measure. and as of
greater consequence from a party stand
point than the other Rabbit bill, s. l. re-
lating to trustee process, which was final
~ passed yesterday with House amend
ments that seriously affect It's desirable
ity.
The bill increasing the fees Of jurors to
80 per day was taken up as unfinished

ment making the fee $3.50 per day.

struction Of Mcdonough's fleet the first
American fleet, which defeated the Bril-
fish squadron at the battle Of Plattsburgh
The bill appropriates $1,000 for this pur-
pose. 1t has already had favorable no.
tice from the State press and many
members are in favor of It,

before the committee on appropriations
Of the House and Senate this afternoon
in support of the bill appropriating SIS,
100 annually for Middlcbury College, 81,
600 to be used in preparing teachers for
Vermont high schools and academies. DR..
Thomas disclaimed any opposition to any
educational institution in the state and
said that the strength of one is the
strength and stimulus of all. He ex-
planned the work Middlebury College has
done in the past and the need of broaden
ing it's work and employing more instruc-
tors for the work already in hand. The
Institution. he said. is neither rich mans
college nor a decadent institution. Its
buildings are valued at s4no.nO and its en-
dowmont Is $6o0,0Oo The institution is APP
pcalng for aid, not because it is decadent
but because il is prosperous and desires
| to be more prosperous. J. T.. Weeks of
Middlebury also spoke in favor of the APP
preparation.

THE HIDDEN FUTURE.

1.-The township of North is peculiar
in many respects. Lying as it does
at the south end of Lake Michigan
and indented as it is by this great
saltless sea, one would naturally sup
pose that it would have been thickly
settled before the central and south
ern parts of the county were settled
at all. In ancient times civilization
sought the sea. Settlements were
always made on the coast before peo-
since the iron horse began to speed
his chariot over the land, mans
dominion has not stopped at the
shore but has stretched inland to the
heart of the continent. With about
twenty-five miles of a coast line and
almost fifty miles of navigable lakes,
why should North township be today,
to great extent, an unimproved and
|sparsely populated region? The
answer comes from its numerous
marshes, sand hills and sterile SOIL =
This is what was printed in Lake
and Porter county history some thir-
ty years ago. At that time North
and Calumet townships were one and
civil division extended from the Illi-
nois line to the Porter county limits
Hammond then had 1000 people and
Clarke and Tolleston each had a doz-
en- families. Whiting a station and
Miller had few houses; Gary, East

THE LIGHT QUESTION.

The Lafayette Journal from way
down there on the banks of the
Tippecanoe is poking fun at aGry,
hut really slams Lafayette when it
says:
Gary has so many lightning bugs
that it has been found possible to do
away with the electric lights. 1t
might be concluded at first glance
that Gary is suffering from an over
supply of bug juice. But it is seri-
ously reported on the authority Of
trustworthy citizens that the bugs
are SO numerous thta they furnish
light. We are sorry that the story
has been given publicity 1t may
suggest to the city administration of
Lafayette another excuse for turning
off the electric lights. Already it is
apparent that the administration
made mistake in drawing up the
present contract. There should have
been a clause inserted to the effect
that when lightning bugs are work
ing the lights should be discontinued.
If this provision, in connection with
that concerning the moon had been
adopted, Lafayette would have a
really cheap lighting system. Re-
Gently a Lafayette man, while look
ing over the files of old magazines,
found Harper's, of the year 1857,
in which there was a serious article
on the Philadelphia lighting SEIZED
ule. The writer took the ground
that the Philadelphia schedule was
evidence of poor municipal manage
ment and he denounced the system
as behind the times. This. indicates
just how far behind the times the
Lafayette contract is There are
many nights under the system when
lightning bugs would be acceptable. .

In almost every instance the murd-
whiskey and women. There is a
tendency in Gary for lot of negro
bucks to set up an establishment
with woman. There is no mar
riage. The respectable negro does
not do this sort of thing and if the
Gary police run out of town every
negro buck and black woman living
cate they will be doing good work.
Gary can well stand to lose few
hundred of its criminal blacks and
the sooner they get out the better it
will be for the community.

THE GREELEY MOVEMENT.

In 1872 the republican party con-
fronted a more serious division than
threatens it today-and yet won the
biggest victory ever achieved by the
party at the polls in November. The
detection of the liberal republicans
diverted from the party some of the
strongest leaders-such men as
Greeley, Sumner and Schurz. Ten re-
publican United States senators left
the party, as we'll as many other dis
|tinguished leaders, including one Of
Governor Osborn's predecessors as
governor of Michigan. The union
party in opposition to Grant seemed
to render certain the defeat OF the
regular republican ticket. But after
"a few months reflection the people of
the United States realized that some
thing more than resentment over the
outcome of a national convention,
something more than antagonism to
an individual, was required to give
stability to political movement
Greeley was overwhelmed in Novem-
Der. The republicans who took part
in the movement were glad to come
back into the republican fold and ask
their political associates to forget
their 1872 foolishness. - Marion

This fact is recognized as pointing
the way of the wind. Jim Coffroth OF
