Town Schools.

The freemen of the several towns
that have not yet adopted the town sys-
tenn of schools will have another
opportunity to vote upon the question
at the coming March meeting. 1t will
be interesting to see how much progress
the new system has made in public fa-
vor since year ago. We have found
no reason for repudiating the views
heretofore expressed on this subject in
these columns; but we believe that if
the new system could have fair trial
it would secure better schools, more
efficient and economical administration
of school interests, and more equal dis
tribution of school burdens and school
privileges. Much OF the opposition to
the change is probably due to prejudice
against innovations of any kind, some
of it to sentimental regard for the old
system, and very much to the fact that
where the town system has been
adopted it has had to contend with the
efforts of obstructionists to neutralize
its possible good results. The general
argument in favor of the town system
is that it abolishes superfiuous districts
gives as many schools as the com
munity actually requires, and no more
dispenses with large number of school,
officers; establishes uniform taxation;
Il I.
their interests will be best conserved
prevents strife about district lines; di
minishes aggregate school expenses
secures more efficient inspection ano
permanent supervision, better school
houses and more uniform methods OF
teaching; prevents waste of public
money, and insures the employment OF
a more competent class of teachers

NEXT Tuesday occurs the annual town
meetings for the choice of town officers
and the transaction of other town bust
ness for the year. These meetings de-
serve the careful attention of all citi-
zens, as important questions relating to
finance, schools, highways, etc., will
come before many of them. 1t behooves
every voter who is called on to pay
taxes to look well after the public, as af-
terhis private, interests. The judicious
direction and management of town af-
fairs depend very largely upon the cleo
ton of competent officers. In good
many towns in the state party lines are
not much regarded in the choice of town
officials. This policy is well enough to
a certain extent; but it should not be
carried so far as to give the minority
the control in the boards of civil author
ity. This is of much consequence in a
political year. In towns where there is
a democratic majority the republicans
cannot expect to secure this advantage.
The democrats will be just to themselves
before they are generous to their OPP
ponents. The republicans should be
equally solicitous for the interests of
their party.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-02-24

OF course the opponents of the town
system do not admit that it has all the
merits claimed for it. Some assert that
while the town system is best for some
towns the district system is better for
others. But the reports from other
states that have long since substituted
the town system for the district system
are to the effect that the change has
worked uniformly well in respect to i'm
proving the character and condition of
the schools, in securing more uniformity
in methods of instruction, and equal
izing and tightening the burdens of tax
alton for the support of schools. Why
should it not work equally well in Yer
mont?

THE caucus of republican senators
on Wednesday last considerably modi-
fed the original programme suggested
by some of them for conducting their
contest with the President over his
nominations. The points finally agreed
upon are: l. That the senate does not
endorse the answer of the attorney
general in refusing to give information
as to suspensions. 2. That the senate
cannot confirm persons nominated to
succeed suspended officials where the
reasons for suspension are not given.
3. That the senate does not approve
the removal of ex-Union soldiers
without cause. Resolutions embodying
these points were reported to the sem
ate, accompanied by long report sub
mitted by the republican members of
the judiciary committee. The demo-
Gratis of this committee will present a
minority report, when the matter will
be discussed in open session. 1t is not
yet known whether the policy decided
upon by the twenty-six republican SEN
ators who participated in the caucus
action will be concurred in by their
political associates. We note that lead
ing republican journals are not fully
agreed as to the wisdom of the course
the republican senators have marked
out. Assuming that they will refuse
to confirm all officials appointed to sue
coed suspended officers, unless papers
and information relating to such sus.
pensions are furnished by the Presi
dent, the Boston Advertiser thinks this
position is of doubtful expediency, in
either general or party point of view
and that they ought to be satisfied witt
demonstrating the weakness of the ad
ministration on the civil service ques
ton. The mugwump papers, which
have been taxing their ingenuity tt
reconcile the Presidents removals will
his reform professions, are not pleased
with the attitude of the republican
senators. The Springfield Republican
charges the republican majority will
seeking a quarrel with the President
and says the country never sympathize
with an attempt to "put the Presidep
in a hole.' The situation is gettin!
interesting.

The Eight-HOur Movement.

1t is stated in Washington that a
great movement, the object of which is
to limit days work to eight hours, is
to begin next May. That the improved
condition and resulting happiness of
workingmen are matters of the highest
concern, all persons of intelligence and
right feeling will readily concede.
Nevertheless, as contemporary well
remarks, this desired betterment must
be accomplished, if at all, in conformity
with the laws of social organization
development and progress. A poor
man, toiling with his hands, can no
more override the order of nature, hui

man or material, than can rich man.
"The prime condition of the prosper
GUS advance of labor is perfect liberty
to make contracts" says the Brooklyn
Eoqle "It may be doubted that the
injury resulting from all the unjust
bargains ever entered into is worth
considering for moment in COMPARE
son with what would flow from the i'm
pairment of this contract-making right.
Yet il must be to degree destroyed if
this eight-hour movement is to succeed.
If this continental movement attains
the professed object of its leaders de-
sire, it must first suppress the liberty
of contract. Not only is the end inn
practicable, not only would it be vastly
injurious if it were practicable, but the
details of the movement disclose Gu
rious disregard of social conditions and
of common sense. The rights of work
ingmen are substantially two: the right
to free competition in the labor market
for all the work, be it little or much,
which they desire to do for their own
and their families support; and the
right to get, and to combine for the pur-
pose of getting, as much pay for their
work as possible" Movements beyond
this are likely to impose upon the
workingmen themselves a greater tyr
amy than that of capital.

IN the house, last week, after many
notable speeches on the Fitz John Por-
ter bill, it was passed by vote of one
hundred seventy-one TO one hundred
thirteen. The democrats voted solidly
for Porter, and the following sixteen
republicans: Baker, Burleigh, James,
Swinburne and Weber of New York I;
Ely, Hayden and Rockwell of Massa-
chusetts; Bayne and Harmer of Penn
sylvania; Phelps of New Jersey; Haynes
of New Hampshire; Laird of Nebraska;
Hahn of Louisiana; Wadsworth of Ken
lucky, and O'Hara, the colored repre-
sentative of North Carolina. All the
nay votes were republicans. The ma
tional education bill was discussed in
the senate by Messrs. Evarts, Hoar, In
gals and others. Friends of the meas
ure are not hopeful of its passage
through both houses. In the house
the silver question was discussed by
Scott of Pennsylvania and Geddes of

ported in the senate appropriating

IhOf ESSOh IL. w. SIRlNG Oh lne Slale
University of Kansas has accepted an
election to the Professorship of English
Literature in Williams College. This
will probably enable the college to avail
formerly of Burlington, in the depart
ment of philosophy, for which he is
well qualified. Professor Spring is a
graduate of Williams in the class of
1868, a native of Grafton, Vermont, go
ing to college from Manchester He
preached year in Castleton and Mid
dlebury. Professor Spring is the author
of the volume on Kansas, in the Com
monwealth Series. This has attracted a
great deal of attention and provoked crit
icism. But much of this has come from
old-time partisans, whose views have
been quite at variance with those of the
author. But the book has also won the
highest praise from others quite as
competent for an opinion, among them
gentleman of high literary and histori-
cal attachments who stood in the closest
relations with Charles Sumner. Many
will regret his removal from Kansas,
which is due to imperative domestic
reasons, if this should turn Professor
Spring from his studies in Kansas his
tory, of which the little volume lately
published is among the first fruits
For this graphic sketch, which the
author has given us, evidently for this
very purpose, shows that there is great
work to be done by some one who was
not direct participant in the strifes at
the time and who has had access to the
material hitherto out of the reach of
every one who has written on the sub
ject up to this time.

A Boycott On Gould.

wise the local organizations not to

viding their forces between the

The manner in which Jay Gould
became the owner of the railroad
property called by his name was as
great violation of morals, of right
and justice, as if the strikers should
take possession of it bodily by
violence for their own uses. He
first wrecked" the separate lines
composing his present system, then
''reorganized' them so as to wipe
out and cancel every previous right
of ownership, then issued new
stock in almost limitless quantities,
which cost nothing except for the
paper and printing, then declared
and paid two or three fictitious div
idends, which gave his stock a
price and boom in the market,
pocketing millions by the opera
ton without paying out cent of
his own money in the transaction.
He is obviously not the proper in
dividual to interfere in TIE present
strike, either out of regard to de-
cent appearances or for the moral
effect which his declarations and
his services may have on those in
yolyed In the uprising.

Trying to Get the Runaway Al
dermen Back.

New YORK, April 14.-The Mail
and Express says: 1t is said the
cable company is using both money
and influence to get either Moloney
or keenan, back from Canada to
give the history of the whole bribery
business. A special Commissioner
has been sent on to Montreal, who
will point out to Moloney that he
is politically dead, however he may
act. All his friends and relatives
are here, and as affairs stand now
he will have to keep away forever.
The Cable Railroad Company will
give Moloney $4,000 and guaran-
tee him immunity from arrest and
conviction if he will come and tes-
tify. The offer is tempting and 1t
will be interesting to watch the
progress Of the scheme. If Moio-
ney comes back to New York the
developments that will follow will
be highly sensational.

4 SAFETY COMMITTEE.

The APPEAL has called attention
from time to time to the fact that
the Anti-Chinese League con-
tanned a small element who were
disposed to pay little regard to the
recognized authorities of the
League, and who are constantly
growing because the movement is
not fast enough to suit them and
because the devil generally is not
being kicked up.
The movement Of the League Is
sow but certain and resistless, and
it is not now, nor has ever been 60
ing too slow to ensure good work
and success.
The parties who think that the
change can be made IN day should
stop to think little and not keep
clamoring for something of ul-
ira nature, which would be certain
to bring about trouble.
There are a few men in the
League who would like to see prop
ertv burned and something smashed
up. The League has borne good
name since its organization, and it
should see that its reputation for
peaceful and lawful conduct be
maintained.
The APPEAL would suggest the
organization Of a Committee Of
Safety consisting of sufficient mem
bers to preserve the peace and
check the first symptoms of de-
sire on the part of anyone to Gre
ate trouble.
1t may be argued that every hon
est. law abiding member Of the
League will see that things are
kept within bonnds; but what is
everybody's business is nobodys
business, and Committee clothed
with authority would be felt and
respected.

on the shoulders of the women, and
they don't work three months out of the
twelve. When the people are not off
to beer drinking they are stretched
out in the sun, idling their time away.
They don't, it seems, like to go to
church any better than they like to
work. Sometimes the impatient
missionary will have to wait for his
congregation more than an hour, even
after messenger has been sent for
