TuE indications multiply that Col. Red
fed Proctor, the present lieutenant COVER
nor, will be the Republican candidate for
governor at our September election. The
Standard has for long time regarded this
as the probat le results of the canvass and
limited as much l,st fall. lie will be gener-
ally accept able and there is but one criticism
that We coull make il We cared to say any
thing, which we do not. Tho Colonel is
a good man and probably as little liable TO
objections o. any one Woodstock Stand
ard
There il not much prospect OF n sharp
contest over the Republican nomination
for Governor the coming Summer The
Rutland Herald announces that Col.
Veaz5y will not be q candidate and the
FREE Pass says the Same of Chiei-J Justice
Pierpoint. These things being SO We do
not see where opposition to the promotion
of Lieut. Governor Proctor to the Cover
nors chair will come from. Col Proctor
has no enemies and a great many friends
and would make q Governor every way
satisfactory to the people Of the State -
Montpelier Freeman.
The GOVERNOR QUESTION seems to be al
ready settled. Since the name of Lieuten-
ant Governor Proctor was suggested there
has been spontaneous movement In his
favor. The people respect him as man OF
unimpeachabe integrity. lie will 90 into
the cow ention with the solid support OF
this part OF the State. He is a man who
will honor the Office and the State.-W.

FINALLY CLEARED.
TORONTO. March I9.-As was feared, a
bloody riot arose out of 0'Donovan Rossa's
visit here. At dusk mob collected and
shortly after midnight advanced up Queen
street and attacked Cosgrovs's tavern. The
crowd inside answered with reyOlvers. and
the rioters returned the fire. Hundreds of
shots were exchanged here and scores pour
ed into the hotel. The police, ninety strong,
charged the mob and four men we're shot,
one young Protestant, James Clegg, it Is
feared, fatally. In the meantime another
mob, one thousand strong. opened fire with
stones on Collins tavern, further up Queen
street, where Rosa was believed to be. Re
volvers were used here, but the police
cleared the street.

TIE BONANZA KINGS OUT In TEE COLD.
WASHINGTON, March Is. - The bonanza
kings are not pleased that the government
is ouying silver bullion in Europe. They
hoped to reap a harvest out of the gov
eminent yet in almost its first transaction
or purchase Of silver the treasury has
snubbed them. 1t is evident that the silver
kings of the Pacific slope are to encounter
opposition in this silver business The bill
had no sooner passed than one foreign
house in New York city offered the treasury
i've million dollars to te bought in
London or Germany and delivered there
from to the United States at
lower figure than the bonsnz, people
bad offered. That one million or there
abouts has been purchased in London for
the United States treasury account shows
that this offer. or some other foreign offer,
was accepted. At present there is not sill
Yer enough in our markets to compete
with the supply abroad.

WATERBURY-The graded school taught
by A. R. Dow OF Burlington, principal,
Miss Poland Of Waitsield and Miss Cresey OF
this place, closed last Friday. with an ex-
hibition in the evening that was equal if
not superior to any We have ever attended.
The compositions by Miss Lois Elliott,
EVERY one an Architect of his own For
tune" and Miss Ida Burleigh, Life is q
School," were especially fine. The declam-
atoms OF Walter Stransban, "Sslly my
Dsrter," Frank Knights "Webstsf's Ex-
ordium at Knapp's Trial" and Frank Hutch
eson were rendered in good style, as also
were those by Henry Brown, Charles Wade,
and Nathan Summerville. The duel with
swords BY Frank Brown and Warren Cof-
frain representing Roderick Dhue and Fitz
james was well executed. "Courting at
two O'Clock IN the morning" was played by
Arthur Baker with Electa Blodgett, meek
hiding" asleep on the sofa. and discovered
by the old lady Miss Gracia Picketf) and
the old man walter Stranahan) in their
night gear, who disturbed the sleepers with
emphasis. "A night of trouble" was read
BY Miss Alice Henry with such fine effect
as to bring down the house. Miss DENIS
Smith as Sarah Camp and Miss Electa
Blodgett as Betsy Pris. nursing their pa
tient John G1nis disputed titls with the
Trial OF onyl0cK anu bOD sawyer party
as the best piece of the evening. Miss Alice

Miss George Morse, Miss Jesse Morse, Miss
Emma Lease and Miss Anna Sheplee, all

We must not forget the recitation by

Northern Pacific.

WASHINGTON, August l5.-Attorney- Gen
Cral Youmans, of South Carolina, arrived
here to- day for the purpose of seeing Attorney
General Devens. He delivered a personal
message to the President from Governor
Hampton. Attorney General Youmans wishes
to lay before the department all the facts re-
lating to the conflict OF authority between
South Carolina and the United States gov
eminent. He said there is a mistaken I'M
preston altogether in the north in regard to
that case. The people Of South Carolina have
no intention or desire to resist the authority
of the general government. The controversy
Is purely Judicial, and one of jurisdiction
General Youmans says that if there is no law

Carolina and required to testify concerning
alleged frauds in that State. Youmans left
last night to see Attorney General Devens,
who is east.

HERNANDO, MISS.
The Cotton Crop is Suffering by the
DrOuth-Eruits-The Free schools
-Teachers' Salaries Cut
Down 70 Zero.
From an Occasional Correspondent of the Appeal

From an Occasional Cores pondent of the Appeal
HERNANDO, MISS, August 14.-The very
Hatterlug prospects for an unusually fine crop
were to a considerable extent impaired by
the drouth, which has extended over many
parts OF the country during the last month.
Within a few days, however, we have had
abundant rain, and believe, from general ap-
pearances, that both corn and cotton will be
far beyond the average yield. Cotton is bios
sonliDg protusely, and already weighted down
with bOlls. The fruit crop Is nearly COM
plete fa,lure-Yery few peaches, aud what
few there are are badly worm eaten or partly
rotten; the melon crop Is a failure also.
There has been good deal of excitement
over late act of the DeSoto county board
of supervisors, assessing a per diem tax of
twenty i've cents on the teachers of our
free-schools. This act operates severely on a
hard-working and generally faithful class of
officials. The poor teachers were by no
means too well paid before, receiving only six
cents per scholar per day. With five dollars
per month Topped off, they are now put on a
par with laurdresSes and cooks. And this is
done under a Democratic administration, not
withstandIng the earnest pledges of Demo-
Gratis to befriend and foster the cause of edu-
cation. | believe in the glorious old Democ-
racy, but am none the less In favor OF hold
ing our Democratic officials to a strIctaccouut.
Why not pay the teachers according to con-
is, the faithful and unfaIthful suffer alike.
The free school system Of the south would be
far more efficient were people required. under
penalty of fine, to send their children to
school, There are so many ignorant white
people who are Indifferent to the advantages
Of sending their children to school, or who
VIII keep their children at home under all
sorts OF frivolous and avoidable pretenses. So
the teacher suffers a dimInution of her poor
earnings fol -. of the number to make up
her average" ana children grow up into
stupid imbeclies, incapable OF earning an
honest living, and come to be tax on the
country IN the shape of a hanger-on at the
poorhouse. Thus 1t is for the ultimate good
and safety of the pubic veal to educate, by
law, all the children Of the country, and the
occupation of teaching shall be made re-
spectacle by paying teachers living rates.
Colonel Van Manning has won golden
opinions among his old constituency, and
nothing Is talked Of but his denomination and
reelection to congress as a man of sound
principles, distinguished ability, and true
representative of southern people. '"*
