Thcro aro 21,000 cases on file In the patent office In Washington which have not been examined, and tho office la falling behind at the rate of 250 to 300 cases a week. Tho pension office was In similar condition several years ngo until tho system Introduced by Col. (now Gen.) Alnsworth of Vermont, relieved the congestion. Wliat tho patent ofllco evi dently needs Is another Alnsworth. Tho legislature wisely disregarded precedent In not adjourning previous to Thnnksglvlng. Tho custom of finishing the work of tho session In tho last week In November camo Into voguo years ago, when there was not n quarter of th'o do- mnnd on the legislature for work that thero Is today. It Is sometimes necessary to put a time limit on a race to hurry' up tho pace, but a legislative session Is not a raco; It is a business proposition. It Is tho duty of the legislators to do their work as expeditiously as possible, but. they should avoid the mistake o neglec ting or killing Important and needful measures on tho excuse that they haven't time. The. report of the.-secretary of com merce and labor shows that the foreign commerce of this country during tho last fiscal year was greater In both Imports and exports than during any preceding year. Imports, which had never reached the bllllon-dollnr mark until 1903, amount ed to Jl. 226,6(52, 460. The exports, which first touched the bllllon-dollar mark in 1892, were during tho last year 1, 743, 861,- 600. Tho Imports Increased about $109,- 000,000 over tho year previous, and tho exports increased about $225,000,000. Relief (?) from Double Taxation. In connection with the announcement that the joint special committee, on dou ble taxation aro unablo to agree upon a remedy, word comes from Montpellcr that there Is a strong sentiment there In favor of doing awny with all exemptions, thus taxing every species of visible prop erty. This plan has been often suggested. It would undoubtedly largely Incrcaso the grand list. At whose expense? The real estate holder really owning only a portion of his farm or homo would have taken from him the partial relief that ho now has through his exemptions. Tho merchant doing' business on borrowed capital would be handicapped. The manu facturer or quarry owner having to pay taxes on all of his Btock In process of manufacture, regardless of Its real own ership, would bo burdened to an extent that certainly would not aid In the de velopment of tho prospective Greater Vcr mont. Who would be the gainer under the proposod plan unless It be the man whose stocks and mortgages would be taxed less In consequence of the lower rate of taxation that would result from tho larger grand list? Why Bhould we not stop talking about our sympathy with the overtaxed class If we ore not willing to give them a law that will take from, rather than add to, their burden? What was one of the things wo espec ially promised to do when we were In the stress of last summer's campaign? Affairs In Congress. In Congress tho House has passed the bill permitting national banks to make loans on real estate socurlty to a certain limit. Tho measure was generally favpred by Western members. The House, 164 to 110, killed Llttlefleld's bill removing dis criminations against American sailing vessels in the coasting trade Its defeat Is charged to the labor Interests. Tho House repealed that portion of the Wil son lntcr-stato commerce bill relating to cpnvlct-made goods and permitting tho several states to legislate for themselves as to their competition with "free labor" made goods. The Houso passed an ap propriation' bill with a provision that will prevent use of President s Roosevelt a 'simplified spelling." Tho senate has passed tio Penrose resolution asking for tho facts regarding the dismissal or negro troops at Brownsville, Texas. Tho Presi dent's cabinet nominations ore hung up. Vermont has the smallest number of paupers In almshouses according to pop ulation, of any of the New England states, which is a pretty good record. But the fact that should give the greatest satisfaction is that the number is 44 per cent less than it was IS years ago. Montpeller Argus. Farmer Backln "I want ten cents' wuth o stamps." Alec Bjnart (tho new clerk) "What denomination?" Farmer Backlp "I'm a Baptist, but I don't know aa lrs enny v your business," Judge. The Storer Episode. Mr. nnd Mm Bellamy Storer of Cin cinnati havo occupied a big place In tho public cyo this week bigger probably than they will ever hold again. Mr. Stor er ,was summarily dismissed from tho post of ambassador to Austria-Hungary last March by President Roosevelt. Tho trouble camo from tho activity of Mr, nnd Mrs. Storer In attempting to promote tho appointment of Archbishop Ireland to tho cardlnalate, Mr. Storcr's refusal to answer tho President's letters and the publication of vnrlous private letters. Mr. Storer recently prepared nn extended brief In defense of himself In which ho reviews tho circumstances leading up to his dis missal. In tho paper ho Introduces va rious prlvato letters written to Mr. and Mrs. Storer by the. President. The Stor-- er statement, which lq said to havo been prepared for prlvato circulation, In somo way was spread broadcast In tho news papers nnd Presldcht Roosevelt replied to It at length. This brought out a re- Jolner from Mr. Storer nnd tho three communications have filled yards of good newspaper space all over tho country. Historically, the Storer affair will soon be an episode, although It is likely to re main the main event In tho lives, of the statesman from Cincinnati and his wife. Mr. Storer was formerly a congressman and became Intimately acquainted with Mr. Roosevelt when the latter was a civil service commissioner In Washington. Storer was appointed minister to Belgi um by tho lato President McKlnley, after ward minister to Spain, nnd was pro moted by President Roosevelt to the am bassadorship nt Berlin. It is not difficult tb rend between tho lines that Storer owes his downfall to his officious and ambitious wife and to her failure to draw tho line between tho President officially and Theodore Roosevelt, the individual. The Situation In France. The separation law went Into effect In FVanco Tuesday. It provides that church properties. Including the sacred edifices, archbishops' palaces, archbishops' resi dences, seminaries and presbyteries shall become the property of the state, of the department of the commune, unless pub lic worship associations have been consti tuted to claim them: It also provides that a ministerial decree shall sufllce for the transfer of the property to charitable In stitutions. Tho law means, virtually, that after an uninterrupted union of a thousand years church and state In Franco separate and public Catholic worship comes to an end. The situation was rendered critical by the action of -the Pope In ordering1 the French clergy not to make the declara tions required by law In order that their congregations might continue to use the church buildings. By Instructing the French Catholics to continue to use the sequestered churches for public worship, ho put their duty to Rome above obedi ence to their government. The secretary of the papal nunclaturo, who' represented tho Vatican in -Paris, was arrested and conducted to the frontier on Tuesday. The premier made a last appeal to the Pope, asking him to yield in time. Owing to the refusal of the church to recognize the law, thero was fear of bloody riots. If not nctual religious warfare, but, although tho thousands of priests will defy the state In continuing to conduct services in the churches, the government will avoid violence, will not Invade the edifices, but will take measures to prosecute the clergy. Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris, sent a message to American Cath olics, declaring that the French Catholics were united In a policy of passive resist ance to the law. BRATTLEBORO PERSONAL.

A bill has been advanced to a third reading in the House "to grant additional powers to the prudential committee of incorporated school district No. a or Brat tleboro." Perhaps this is a bill to allow those under 21 to hold office. Investigation has shown that the num ber of Japanese pupils in the Ban Fran' clsco public schools, before the board, of education Issued its famous order separ ating them from tho whtto children, was 93, The board of education admits this figure is accurate. There are about 70 primary and grammar schools lnnhe city, Forty-seven bad no Japanese scholars. 0 ADJOURN DEC. 18 Resolution Provides for Finishing Legislative Work Next Week Brattleboro Water Question Not Taken Up Yesterday Owing to Illness of Rep resentative Gibson. Montpeller, Dec. 13. A strong effort was mado Thursday morning to securo the establishment of a school for manual training and Instruc tion In the Industrial arts. Among those who strongly favored It was Dr. J. A. Mead of Rutland, president of the Howe scale works. Ho pointed out that many the best places in tho shops of the company were held by men from other states and sometimes by foreigners be cause Vermont did not produce tho young men capable of filling them. The bill carried an Immediate aDDroDrlatlon of $10,000 and a continuing yearly appropria tion or $7500. and as the aDDroDriatlons already made are expected to consume the entire Income of the state for tho next biennial term, it was voted down, not as undesirable, but as Inexpedient. Mr, Latbam or Milton, by permission of tho committee. Introduced a bill to reme dy the evil of double taxation. It pro vides that there shall be no exemDtlon for debts owing unless the amount of the debt is stated in the Inventory and evi denced by a written Interest bearing ob ligation secured by a mortgage on proper ty taxable in tms state and uncondltlon- Hy due. Another tax bill, to exempt new elec tric railroads from taxation, was or dered to a third reading by the House after a lively debate. The bill imposing a license on non residents who come here to hunt was ordered to a third reading after it had been amended so that unnaturalized alien residents are not Included In its pro- Islon. The bill to regulate telephone rates was the subject of a long discussion Thursday afternoon. Both those who had favored It and those who had opposed It seemed willing to allow it to have a quiet death. but the discussion covered such a range and brought out such matters of preju dice that the bill was finally ordered to a third reading. A joint resolution was Introduced In the Senate Thursday morning by Senator Col lins Instructing the Vermont Congression al delegation to support President Roose velt in the position he has taken regard ing an Income tax. The Senate bill making an appropria tion of $500 for a nursery for seedlings at the Vermont experiment station was fa vored by the House. The Brattleboro water question has not yet been taken up. Mr. Gibson of Brattle boro has been 111 for two days and only appeared at the state house a few min utes Thursday afternoon. Two hearings have been held before tho committee this week and It was expected that the bill would come to the Houso Thursday morn ing, but this was Impossible. A delega tion of half a dozen Brattleboro citizens are here and announce their Intention of remaining until the bill has been disposed .of. When the Thursday morning session ended there were SO bills In the hands of the House committees and 15 in the Ben- ate committees, but most of those wore measures that cannot be rusned through. The joint committee on final adjournment had a meeting before the afternoon ses sion and reported a resolution providing for final adjournment on Tuesday morn ing at 8 o'clock. Estey Team Won Again. The Estey bowling team beat the sen- tors in the Y. M. C. A. last night by a score of 2344 to 2151. Phelps was high man for the winners with 497 to his credit.

There was an impressive response In Paris yesterday morning to the clergy's appeal to their parishioners to attend the first masses ceieDratea outsiae tno paie of the law. The churches were filled. No disorder was shown and no attempt to Interfere with tho services was made. Policemen in plain clothes took the names of the officiating priests with the object of reporting them to tho Justices. Formal charges were entered wherever mass was celebrated except at two churches whose parishioners applied yesterday evening to hold services under the law of 1881.
