Commencement Exercises at Goddard
Seminary.

Tuesday was specially devoted to the
alumni. At the business meeting, in the
morning, Ira A. Priest was elected presi-
dent of the association for the ensuing year,
and Miss Lena j. Moorcroft, secretary and
treasurer A large number of classes are to
hold reunions at the next commencement,
and it was voted to have an alumni banquet
at that time. There were present at some
time during the commencement over seventy
graduates of the school. In the afternoon, j.
NJ. Comstock of Burlington delivered an
able Grafton on "The Privileges, Duties
and Dangers of the Educated Men and
Women of the Country" a bright and en-
tertaining essay was given by Miss Blanche
j. Tilden of Barre Music was given by Miss
Sara Gilman, Miss Florence Powers and Mr..
o. X. Hollister. The Goddard orchestra,
composed entirely of Goddard scholars, on
this as on other occasions, pleased all with
an excellent selection.
CLAss-DAY EXERCISES.
Class-tree or cass-day exercises, were
novelty in the commencement exercises.
Owing to the high wind and showers, they
took place in the hall Immediately after the
alumni exercises They We're among the
best enjoyed of all the exercises of the
week and we trust that they will be con-
tinued, for they added brightness and
sparkle to the week and furnished a change
in the common line of orations and essays.
The class-tree, a large and shapely elm, had
been planted in the early spring and gives
promise of good growth. The exercises
were presided over by Mr. Coolidge, the
president OF the class, and opened with
male quartette, beginning with the follow
ing verse and chorus:
Education is like feasting,
Sweetest when the meal begins
Graduation Is the toothpick,
Dear EARLE old oadsrSE aia shs EraSSatSh aSrsh wins
Alma Mater, live for aye.
Classmates, let us sing together
On our graduation day"
The grafton, given by Wade Keyes of Read
ing, followed. 1t was certainly a remark
able production, for a young man, in its ora
torical and rhetorical form. In excelently-
chosen and eloquent words he discussed the
trite theme of " Vermont and Vermonters."
Comparing Vermont with her sister states,
he sketched her past and present, her
achievements and failures and her present
standing, making graceful allusion to the
presence of Senator Edmunds and Mr..
Phelps in London. He then examined the
signs of the future and closed with an earn
est appeal to Vermont 10 keep abreast with
the times in education and training The
Grafton occupied about twenty-five minutes
in delivery and was loudly applauded The
poem was delivered by Charles A, Richard
son of West Corinth, who, in humorous
rhyme, introduced the class and its men,
bers with witty illusions to their foibles or
virtues. IL pleased the audience very much.
Singing followed, and then Charles S.
Wheelock of Barre made the presentation
to the class, which kept the audience in a
roar and gave great satisfaction, both on ac-
count of its wit and diction. Representing
them as coming from the trustees, he pre-
sented each member of the class with some

The Silver Gisy Enterprise publishes . communication from NJ. Coonsy, a re5ident of socorro county, who pro. claims bis intention of organizing and equipping a company of 100 men to march against tho San Carlos (Whte Mbuntain) reservation and extermi- nate the 1ndians. And ho calls upon citizens of Arizona and New Mexico to organize five other such companies to join him.
 If our recollection serves us aright ar Cooney had brother killed by Indians years ago, which naturally iu- cresscs his hatred of Apaches, He vditeg the sentiment of very maNy citizens of Arizona and New Mexico who arc not cogaizant of the fact that the raidiug Indians, the Chiricahuas, have not been under the charge ot an Agent since September 80, 1881 When last there they were brought by Gen Crook 1T, the face of yigor. ous protest from the Ageutaiid peace able Indians, whp regarded the Chiri- eahuas as breeders 6t trouble,
 Mir, Cooney in .'perfeoting m organ ization and agreeing upon ( proper time to strike, should also take into consideration the peaoeablo and indus. trious class of Inaians he proposes to strike, They arAquite as inimieul to the Chirlcahuas are the whites, and would be as hiek kly gratifed as MT. cooney to know hat the entire breed of ohiricahaas bro rottiug beneath the sod, The Ch ricahuas, by reason of thelr murderor raids, have become ipsupportable and it is therefore not a matter of wonder that persons living at a distance from the reservation, who take incorporate statements of uninformed persons concerning the Agency Indians os facts, should feel outraged al their retention on the res. ervation. Instead of attacking these Agency Indians, now largely engaged in industrial pursuits, would 1t not be Che better part of prudence and good judgment to engage them to assist lu eEterminatiug the Chigieahuas whom they regard as anAaies? Agency In- dians that can be slied on as against the chirioahuas, a the Toutos, Yu- mas and MohavF's. They number about 1850, while the Ghigicahuas do not aggregate over 240 all told, in men, women and children,
 Cooney and his followers, besides having the Indians to fight, would have the Government against them, and tho expedition instead ot solving the Indian difficulty would add new complications and result in further detrimeut to tho territories of Arizona and Nsw Mexico.

Thereport of Mr Nimmo, latc Chiet
 of tho Bureau of Statistics, which has
 just been published treats the cattle
 industry comprsbensibly The range
 area devoted 10 cattle-grazing is shown to embrace 44 per cent of the entire
 territory oftbe United State, equal to all that portion of the United States ] lying east of the Mississippi river, with
 Minnesota, Town, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana added.
 Mr, Nimmo tavory, strongly, the cs. tablishment of national tgail. A strip of m average width of three miles, extending from the northern
 boundary of 'rexas to the northern
 limit of the United States would De
 sufficient and would be less than 10 per cent of tho lands given by tho Government to tho Pacific railroads. The driving of young cattle from Tex
 as to the ranges of the north is com
 nercial movement of great importance
 and its suppression would in high degree operate to the detrimeut of the
 enormous cattle interest of Texas
 which is estimated to be 2s percent of the total value Of tho cattle of tho United States.
 The danRersto be apprehendsd from the Texas fever have been very much
 exaggerated, Mr. Nimmo claims, and
 the Texas cattle trail might safely be
 continued under proper sanitary regu-
 lations. Tue quarantine embargo im-
 posed by Kansas and Colorado has already worked serious detriment to the state of Texas. The value of all
 property in that state has been in- Iiuriously affected and it is asserted
 that many of the Texas herdsmen are threatened with bankruptcy in conse- Quence of the stringent quarantine laws of contiguous states.
 Considerable space in the report is devoted to the subject of land laasing. to which Mir Gimmo is strongly op. posed The effect of leasing an the ! ayaiiable range lands to certain per.
 sons would be to prevent others from engaging in the stock business, which would, of course, be to sbut cut com I.petition in . business that has already l yielded enormous profits, No class of
 men, he says, much less tenants by
 suferance upon the pubic laRds, have reason to expect such protection Of their business against competition. The report also touches on tho in.
 yestment of foreign capital and shcws
 the enormous possessions iu the range
 country of foreign individuals and corporations, The total number of
 acres acquired by foreigners is esti- 1 mated at 2oa4l ,665. Mr. Nimmo
 says, in conclusion: 1t seems to co
 without saying that public sentiment
 in tho United states ls opposed to al- lowing unnaturah2ed foreigners on gagged in the cattle business to obtain, by the leasing of public lands, more
 permanent foothold than they have
 already been able to secure tn this
 country under our land laws now in
 force"

rRrrLE INTERVIEWED


 The San Francisco Examiner, of tae Sd inst, contains an account of an in. terview with Governor F X Tritle, of Arizona, which If he is correctly re- ported) for peryerticA of truth exeels anything that Anauias or Sapphra was charged with and for which they forfeited their lives. His effort to ex. eulpate Gen, Crook and hold hm guiltless and place tue blame upon the Agent, for the last Chirieahua out break, was a wicked and inexcusable trifling with tho incontrovertablo fact that the Chirieahuas were n charge of Gen. Crook and not in charge of an agent. Tritle said to the reporter,
 During these contentious tbetween the Agent and Crook IwsNt to Wash iugton and strongly advised Secretary Teller to let the ChiricahuaS remain under the supervision of the army. l believed that no other authority could restrain them. My impressions were correct as results have shown, Bnt the Agent wanted the control, and be got it,and this raid is the consequence.
 "Then General Crook has not been 50 blame at all?'
 "Why, of course not. In no possi- ble way. The Indians were taken out of his charge six months ago, So long as he managed them they were obe- dient. He got them to work. They built ditches and planted crops. They showed every disposition to behave for tbe year and 8 half that the military controlled them. They knew then that there was no possibility of their escaping, and that they would bepun- ished if they attempted it. He also suppressed the manufacture of their dangerous liquor, tiswin, and they thoretOre entered upon no debauches, All mutinies were rigidly and sterply suppressed, and these savages for the first time in their lives recognized a master, Had they renamed in Gan. Crooks charge this outbreak would not have occurred It could not have succeeded"
 Then you think th9 maehinations of tue agency people were at the bet tom of it?"
 T think they got the military re- straint removed and that done tho h. dians dld as they pleased The Agent has no power to control them. They are the stronger, and wbea they got ready to go of, tbey went eff
 What ought to be done aow?"
 "The first thing to do is to capture them, and then keep them under mil. itary control; that, or exterainate them--thare is nc other course. Ar Indian Agent cannot keep these saw ages in subiection. It is folly to try Ii. More than that, it is murderous, since it leads to just such ca!amlies as VIC are now suffering"
