EDUCATED FARMERs.-The time is coming
when the sons of farmers who are sent to
institutions of learning to obtain respecta-
bio education will pay less attention to
learning the Greek and Latin languages and
the higher mathematics, and more attention
to studying such authors as Liebig, johnson,
Silliman, and Agassiz. The learned profess
sious arc all filled to overlooking, 1t is
the case in this part Of the country, at least.
Half the members cannot make a living.
What is wanted is education to fit men for
farmiug-to make the profession of farming
as honorable, as reputable as any other. If
the members of the agricultural profession
are as well educated and as well qualified,
there is no reason why they should not fill
important positions, which are now almost
completely absorbed by the learned profess
sions, as they are termed. 1t is true there
is not much progress in this direction, but
there is some. Let there be more. Let
farmers be as well educated for their pro-
fession as other men are for their special
professions. Farming will then become
more profitable. Brain farming is increas-
ing yearly. by and by we hope there
will be no other, and that it will be edu-
Gated brain, at that.

AFTER ALL THAT WE have said 10 con.
domination of President Grants course,-and
We have not hing to retract as yet-we say
very cheeriully and gladly, too, that his
persistence in refusing to prop up the dis
reputable Packard crew in Louisiana is an
act deserving of the highest commentator.
We know full well that if the administra-
tion had always kept its hands out of state
politics, we should only say Grant was doing
right, but it is virtue SO far beyond what
we expected, that we accord him the highest
praise for it.

hope, the proper authorities in New York

stringent against dueling, and the present

to enforce them. To put the belligerents

The Springfield Republican is disappointed
that the press of the country has not come
to the front more vigorously in demanding
honesty and fairness in dealing with the

have you forgotten that their eyes are more

the good of the country2 Really honest,

Nor has the farmer only to fear moneyed

feored by the farmer is the monopoly Of
brains by other professions, While the
farmers number some millions in this coun.
try, there are only about fl thousand law
yers, yet one Of our best writers on political
economy says that he can select 100 lawyers
who exert more influence 10 public affairs
than all the farmers together The same is
true to Ouly slightly less degree of manu-.

Yes, they have a monopoly Of the brains.

it, but confess it We must. Who control the

We HOPE THE PAPERS which have been re-
porting Gov. Fairbanks health will throw
that old state item into the waste basket and
report him as improving so that he rode out
a few days since, and if not more than two
hundred incompetent men besiege him for an
appointment to that vacant place on the
board of agriculture, we think he stands a
fair chance of recovery. We don't very
often, even in Vermont, have u man in the
gubernatorial chair whom the office sought,
instead Of the man seeking the office, and it
would add to the grief of this community,
of his friends here and all over the state to
have his death brought about by excessive
official duties, in position which he did not
seek. Wont the incompetent Office seekers
let him alone?

The REPUBLICAN CHURcH.-The strict
republican view of the situation, as far as it
can be obtained from the party organs, is
entirely hostile to any settlement in the ma
ture OF compromise, or to any admission
that Hayes's position is such as TO impose
any duty on his followers in the matter Of
satisfying the democrats or making his &C.
cession to the presidency seem fair. They
wish their man, it is true, Ito pass unchal-
lenged to the chair" but, if he is challenged,
they think the fault will lie with those
who challenge him, and not with him or his
friends. They have, they say, the law on
their side, and tkey are in possession of the
public force, and it is therefore their solemn
duty to see that the man whom they think
fairly elected gets the place. We have not
yet seen in any thoroughgoing Hayes paper,
or heard from any Hayes orator, the slight
est admission that they owe anything to
those who doubt his Legitimacy. In fact,
they are keeping up the ecclesiastical char.
acter Of the party organization to the last.
