The State Prison.

The Annual Report of the Officers of the
State Prison is before u.s. The most notice
able item in the report is the large increase
in the number OF prisoners, which have grown
from eighty-fye in July, 1874, to one hun
bred and seventeen this year The cause of
this increase is variously attributed but TO
our mind, it is mainly caused by the depres-
sion Of business, and the large number of
unemployed people in the state. The di-
rectors make one sensible suggestion, to the
effect that the General Assembly change
the present law, SO as to place the appoint
nent OF the superintendent and the subor-
dinate officers Of the prison in the hands of
the directors, as is the case in the reform
school, One thing is very evident that
there should be a responsible head to the in-
stitution. II the state is to elect directors,
they should have the power of "directing,"
and not be hampered by superintendent,
deriving his power from the legislature,
with the privilege of obeying or disobeying,
as he sees fit, the behests of the directors.
The fight between the directors and the su-
perintendent, during the past two years, has
been anything but profitable to the state,
aud the responsibility should certainly be
devolyed upon one or the other Of these par
ties. The net income Of the prison over all
expenses amounts 10 four thousand seven
hundred and four dollars aud fifty-six cents,
heaides eiobf huudrad and forty dollars and

Take Care Of the people,s Money.

Messrs Editors''rh failure of another savings
bank in New York reminds us OF the great
necessity of having our own banks put upon such
a solid basis as shall be perfect protection to all
depositors. Too much Importance cannot be at
tached to the great evils arising from the practice
of voting by shares. No man should have but
one vote. The money is owned by the depositors
and not the shareholders. But as the law now
stands some designing man can buy up shares
here aud there, until he has complete control Of
the bank, Then how easy 1t is for that man to
vote himself good round salary as president of
the bank, say five thousand dollars, and also vote
himself dividends OF ten per cent. upon his shares
Aforesaid 1t does not require much argument to
show that such state Of things might exist
And we are confident that a thorough inyestiga-
ton will show that such a state of things does
exist already. The great benefits arising from
savings banks, when they are founded upon a
solid basis, commends this subject 10 the earnest
attention Of the legislature Of Vermont, Gro.

Dartmouth College Notes.

The torchlight procession and ilag-raising came
of Monday evening according To announcement
The procession set out about seven o. clock There
were about one hundred and fifty with torches aud
more than that number without, and as they
moved along with the torches glimmering through
the trees, it looked finely, ColburD's Cornet Band
furnished the music which was good and added
much to the success Of the undertaking. After
the parade, the torches formed In front Of the
stand which had been erected Oh the southwest
corner Of the Campus The Hayes and Wheeler
Glee Club sang, and the stars and stripes were
"unfurled to the breeze" followed by three rous-
ing "hurmhs" Mr. Brown, Of the Senior class,
then addressed the meeting, aud after another
song by the glee club, introduced the speaker OF
the evening, ex-senator Patterson, who spoke in
his usual eloquent aud interesting manner. On
the whole, it WAS a oreditable and satisfactory
occasion
ON Tuesday evening James Parton delivered
hislecture on "The Continental Congress. Owing
to the rain which continued during the after
noon and evening, the house was very small, not

Indiana.

Indiana is a democratic state. At the
biennial elections in October, for the last
twenty years, the democrats have triumphod
six times and the Republicans four times.
During the exciting Presidential struggle of
1865, the Republicans elected their candi-
date for Governor by the very narrow major
ity of nine hundred and sixty-one votes.
They have been uniformly beaten ever since.
At the next state election they were beaten
by two thousand five hundred and sixty
eight votes, and again at the state election
Of 1872 they were beaten after most des-
perate struggle by one thousand three hun
dred and thirty-seven votes and still later,
in lS7i-being the last state election-they
were defeated by seventeen thousand two
hundred and fifty-two votes. 1t is probable
that most of the sixteen thousand two hun
bred and thirty-three votes cast for the In
dependent candidate were drawn from the
Republican side; but if every one Of them
had been cast for the Republican ticket, il
would still have been beaten by one thou
sand votes.
Under these circumstances the lndiani
Republicans held their convention as lon,
ago as February %, and nominated Godlov
S. Orth. The hearts of the Republicans al
over the state went out with singular unan
unity to General Harrison, but he declined
to be a candidate, on the ground that h
was too poor to give up his lucrative Law
practice. Two other popular men also dc
clined TO let their names go before the cor
vention, so Orth was taken as last resort
His completely with the VENEZUELA claims
which he was either unable OF unwilling t
explain, compelled him to retire from tn
contest. General Harrison was then put i
the field, and is making vigorous can
paign. The result is uncertain, and if tn
Republicans win, there will be ample caus
for congratulation, and it will undoubtedl
insure Republican victory at the Presidel
tial election.

The Indian Question.

Msas Editors The views expressed ON this
subject by your leading article of last week, while
in antagonism to the existing situation OF affairs,
were sound in every respect while they repeated
the matured opinions Of eminent and thoughtful
men. Bishop Ames, OF the Methodist Episcopal
church, whom met in California In 1870 said to
me, that the idea that the Indians ever owned the
lands Of this country was an absurdity, They
were simply hunters, and pursued their game
without respect to the lands they trayersed. The
usual acts of possession under which ownership
of land is claimed, such as its cultivation, the
erection of permanent dwellings and fixed resi-
dences thereon, were repugnant to the Indians
thoughts and feelings. Hence, the absurdity of
the sympathy, charging injustice and dishonesty
ON those seeking to reduce border lands TO agricul-
tural uses, and the needs OF civilization
General Sherman, whom | met the same
journey, had an Indian policy very different from
that pursued by the government This policy IL
adopted, would annihilate the idea of nationality
as pertaining to Indian tribes; and would deny
their competency to enter into treaty stipulatons
at all "wel," said, General, what would
you then do with the INDIAN lie replied 81
'couid place them on reservations and compel them
10 obey tie lG,oS Of The land as other people are
governed"
am not advised, but presume the measure 10
fercely contested in Congress, Of placing India N
affairs under the control Of the war department,
looks towards the adoption OF the views of the
general OF the army. For myself, believe this
to be the only eifectual policy To secure peace on
the border The Indians made To feel that the
government bears with its arm an effective power,
will soon cease To draw inspiration for bloody
deeds from the romance Of their wild life, and
learn that treachery and cunning and cruelty are
neither safe nor beneficial. Whatever may be
thought of free-spirited manhood the Indian can
be more eiiectually taught the arts of civilized
life under such government, than when your re-
lgious teacher shall fancy himself, with his
moral adsioR, sufficient 10 "tame the savage
breast"
The religious sects have made their experiments
in Indian affairs, Where these have not proved
failures, they have been supported by the military
arm of the government. Elsewhere the agencies
have seemed the sources from which the Indians
have supplied themselves with weapons and am
munition for their aggressive, savage warfare.

The Insane asylum.

Dr. II. H. Atwater, of Burlington, Com
missioner of the Insane, is one Of the abest
physicians in the state, and is a gentleman
whose opinion in any matter Is OF great
value. We imagined when he was elected
to the official position which he now holds
that his annual report upon our state In
sane Asylum would be interesting reading
nor are we disappointed
Since his appointment, DIR. Atwater has
visited the asylum twenty-five times, and
has made visits to many other institutions
of a similar character in other states. lie
seems to have been impressed with the re-
sponsibility Of his position, and has taken
every means to thoroughly acquaint himself
with the wants and necessities Of those UNI
fortunate wards Of the state, whom public
safety requires should be deprived Of their
liberty.
lie condemns in vigorous terms the co-part-
nership between the state and private cor
poration in the matter Of taking care Of our
insane, and reveals several peculiar financial
transactions between the state and She cor
poration which have--to say the least--not
been profitable to the former.
BY series of statistics Dr. Atwater shows
that, while the percentage Of recoyeries dur
ing the first two years Of the institution was
thirty.two and sixty-three one.hundredths, II
has been only eight and eight one-hundredths
during the last two years that is when four
patients recovered then-only one does now.
On the other hand the percentage Of deaths
has increased two and one-half times during
this period.
The general principles which he lays
down for the treatment Of the insane, seems
TO be based upon correct principles, and
very widely from those now preached al
Brattleboro The whole subject is on,
which should engage the attention of th'
legislature, and we thank DIR. Atwater fol
his vigorous and timely report.

A Mammoth Farm.

4 .eutleman lust from the North Pacific
country gives the following description of a
monster wheat farm, some account OF which
has heretofore been published. 1t is owned
by Mr.. Dalrymple, and is located eighteen
miles west Of Moorhead, Minnesota, in the
proposed new territory of Pembina. lie
says the amount Of ground sown TO wheat
this spring was one thousand three hundred
acres. Harvesting commenced on Monday
week, with nine self-binders. The machines
are run fifteen hours without rest, except the
ordinary stops for oiling, lunch and dinner,
and the result per day is one hundred and
eighty acres. One man is employed to each
team, and twelve men follow the machines,
shocking the wheat as soon as it is cut The
entire one thousand three hundred acres
were to be cut and shocked during the
week stacking and threshing will Of course
follow. Dalrymple is harvesting his crop
for about one-fifth Of the cost required under
the system in vogue ten years ago. At the
time harvesting commenced, IT was estimated
the yield per acre from the entire tract
would not be less than twenty bushels to the
acre. Grasshoppers had done but little
damage, the excessive hot weather came too
late to blast the crop, and everybody who
saw the waving grain, pronounced big wheat
farming on the North Pacific a success. The
farm on which this crop was grown consists
Of thirty thousand acres, on which next sea
wheat, the sod of it having been broken this
season. During the breaking season Mr..
Dalrymple had as high as one hundred teams
at work The burrows turned were six miles
long, aud the teams make but two trips a
day, travelling with each pillow, to make the
four burrows. twenty-four miles.

A WESTERN OPINION" Long" John
Wentworth, of Chicago has an original way
of taking the stump. He hired hall re-
Gently and supplied band OF music at his
own expense, aud invited the public TO hear
his views on the political questions of the
day lie had a large audience and summed
up his argument for the election of Hayes
and Wheeler as follows; 1T is calamity
TO have another bloody shirt compaign, and
the democrats are responsible for it in not
nominating pronounced sympathizer with
the late war; and with the universal enamel
ton that resulted from it. Any attempt
to restore the democratic party as it existed
before the war will make the results of that
war primal issue in any campaign and
consequently delay the discussion OF other
measures necessary to the revival of our in
dustry and reform of existing abuses. The
election of the brain power Of all railroad
consultations to the Presidency, would
everywhere encourage the enemies of rail-
road competition and cheap transportation.
1t is the duty of every honest man and every
opponent Of monopolies TO support General
Hayes as patriot, soldier and statesman; a
sincere reformer, an anti-monopolist and an
outspoken opponent of the Congressional
rings"
