CURRENT OPINION,

Our Green Mountain State is not keep
ing up, much less keeping to the front,
in the matter of education of the masses.
The district schools are not holding their
own, much less improving. This is Il
mortifying fact, but it has got to be ac-
ged.-Brlingto Free Press.
That Spiritualism is spreading in Cath
olic countries is shown by the number of
journals devoted to its philosophy in
those countries. In Italy, within the
very shadow Of the Vatican, there are
four; in France, 10; in Spain, l6; seven
in Mexico, four in Austria, three in Bra
I'll, and two in Cuba.-LOndoa Light.
The three mistakes to be designated in
the first year of Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration are the changes in the civil SER
vice without legitimate cause, although
the number is much smaller than under
any administration; the continuance of
the encouragement in the cabinet; and
the refusal to make public the reasons
for removal.-Hdrper's Weekly.

CHARGED WITH POISONING A Horse

Our Bridport correspondent writes,
under date of Tuesday: Last Friday
night some York State officers passed
through here in chase of Patrick Holland
of Shoreham. who, after having. as is
charged, drugged horse belonging to
George Wissel of this place, suddenly
left the State. 1t appears Mr.. Wissel had
his horse there for the purpose of racing
him, and Holland, being desirous of hav-
ing another horse win, took the oppor-
tunity, it is alleged, of putting about
two ounces of crude opium into the oats
when Mr.. Wissel was out of the barn.
The horse died Saturday morning. No
trace has yet been found of Holland"
1t seems there was series of races at
Crown Point last week, beginning on
Wednesday and ending Friday. Mr..
Wissell's horse was entered in a race that
was to come off the last day. The pois-
oned animal was fine one, for which its
owner had recently refused $500. The
affair causes much talk in Bridport and
vicinity.

and circumstances relating to the execu-
ton of the laws, because if they did,
they might be able to comprehend the
motives or reasons of the President in
carrying out the laws? Why, such a
statement was shocking. Yet that was
the logic of this whole thing.
Other points involved were argued at
length. In conclusion Mr.. Edmunds cit
ed and commented on large number of
instances, gathered from the journals of
Congress, in which by resolution and
otherwise Congress had called on the
President or heads of departments for in
formation and papers respecting great
variety of topics and got what it called
for. The minority of the committee said
that no such spectacle as the judiciary
committee was now presenting to an as
tonished world and an astonished and
injured President and attorney-general,
had been presented in the Democratic
times. "Let us see." said Mr.. Edmunds !;
son the 5th of March, 1879, the Demo-
Gratis had majority of this body. Their
committee on judiciary was Mr.. Thur
man (chairman), Mr.. Mcdonald of In
diana, Mr.. Bayard of Delaware (the pre-
sent secretary of state), Mr.. Garland of
Arkansas (the present attorney-generaI, u,
Mr.. Lamar of Mississippi (the present
secretary of the interior), Judge Davis
of Illinois and Messrs. Edmunds, Conk-
ling and Carpenter" Mr. Edmunds then
read copy of letter from Mr.. Thur
man, as chairman of the committee, to
the attorney-general, dated March "a,
1879, calling for "Such information as
may be in the possession of your depart
ment concerning the following nomina-
ton, together with any suggestions you
may be pleased to note. And on the 7th
of April the following letter was written {;
The honorable attorney. General Of the United
StdteS:-
Sr:-Under the direction of the judiciary
committee of the Senate have the honor to
request that you will communicate to the com.
mittee any papers or information in your pos,
session touching the question of the proprety
of the remordi (emphasis by Mr.. Edmunds) of
Michael Schatfer, chief justice of the Supreme
court OF the territory of Utah, and the ap-
pointment of David r. Corbin to the office.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
ALLEN &. THURMAN, Chairman.
But that was not the only instance.
Mr. Edmunds said. The same chairman
on many occasions had called for that
same class of information and got it. The
CAB instances of obedience to that law,
643 nominations under it, and Mr.. Ed
munds therefore took it that the law was

WEDNESDAY EVENINGS CONCERT.

Harvard Quintet club, assisted by Miss

AN honorable and respected citizen of Mid
dlebury was arrested and sent to States prs.
on for a term of years not long ago solely on
the accusation and oath OF the notorious
Amanda Lamphear of Milton and the State at
large. This creature is at least one of the
most indecent, immoral and degraded speci-
mems of womankind that ever disgraced any
community, and her recent operations in st.
Albans and in this city last week place her
outside the pale of belief or liberation. All
this being admitted Governor Pingree should
pardon this Middlebury victim at once. 1t is
a disgrace and outrage on justice to keep him
in confinement another hour.-Burliagton
clipper.
The above is chiefly bosh and nom
sense. The writer of it is quite as ignor-
ant of the facts as he well could be.
First, Mcbride is not and never was
"honorable' and respected second,
he did not go to prison solely on the oath
of this woman; third, if Amanda Lam
phear is 'indecent," "immOral' and ''de-
graded" her victim was not much
better Why Gov. Pingree should par
don him is not clear. 1t may fairly be
questioned whether it would not be a
disgrace and outrage on justice" if he
were pardoned. 1t is not necessary to
enter at length into the details of young
McBrde's career This community
knows all it wants to about it. The cir
cumstances of his trial may have been
forgotten, however. The wOman's story
was corroborated, it should be remem-
bered, by the testimony of the other
witnesses, in so far as the other witness
ses said anything of consequence. Court,
jury and counsel were pretty well con-
vinced before the cause had been disposed
of that the complainant's character was
bad, and the court assumed that fact in
deciding upon the sentence. The woman
is said to have confessed that she per-
jured herself. Perhaps she did. But
she may be lying now, when she says she
lied then. Possibly Mcbride should be
pardoned; we do not say that he should
not; but the case ought to be carefully

8. 1t is not allowed to use fish with flesh

ThE BLAIR EDUCATIONAL BILL.


The Senate on Friday last passed the
Blair educational bill by vote of SO to
IL. The only New England Senators
who opposed it were those from Maine.
1t was amended to some extent, at the
suggestion of Senator Edmunds and
others. As passed, the bill provides that
for eight years after its passage there
will be annually appropriated from the
common school education in the States
and Territories and District of Columbia,
and Alaska, the first year s. 100000, the
second year Sl0,000,000, the third year
$4,000, 900, the fourth year Sl3,000,000
the fifth year 81 100000, the sixth year
S9,000,0 900, the seventh year $1,000, 900,
the eighth year $1,000, 900, making ST.
000, 900: besides which there is special
appropriation of $4,000 900 to aid in the
erection of school-houses in sparsely set
tied districts, making the total fund $79,-
100000. The money is given to the sew
eral States and Territories sin that pro-
portion which the whole number of per-
sons in each, who being of the age of
10 years and over. cannot write, bears to
the whole number of such persons in the
United States. according to the census
of 1880. until the census figures of 1890
shall be obtained. and then according to
the latter figures. In States having sep
arate schools for white and colored chill
dren the money shall be paid out in sup
port of such white and colored schools
respectively, in the proportion that the
white and colOred children between 10
each other by the census. No State is to
receive the benefit of the act until its
governor shall file with the secretary of
the interior statement giving full sta
tistics of the school system, attendance
of white and cOlored children, amount of
money expended, etc, number of schools
in operation, number and compensation
of teachers, etc. No State or Territory
shall receive in any year from this fund
more money than it has paid out the pre-
vious year from its own revenues for
common schools. If any State or terri
tory declines to take its share of the
national fund. such share is to be distrib-
uted among the States accepting the ben
efits of the fund. If any State or Terri
tory misapplies the fund, or fails to COM
ply with the conditions, it losses all sub
sequent apportionments. Samples of all
schOol-books in use in the common
schools of the States and Territories shall
be filed with the secretary of the inter
ior. Any State or Territory accepting the
provisions of the act, at the first session
of its Legislature after the passage of the
act shall receive its pro rata share of all
previous annual appropriations.
If the bill becomes law Vermont will
get the first year, Sl7 ,S39, and during the
eight years $l96,236.
There is one curious thing about this
legislation. The Democrats have talked
much about ''paternal government"
GENERALIZATION, etc, whenever the gem
eral government proposed to do any
thing for the States; but now that Dem
ocratic States are to receive the greater
benefits Democratic ''prnciples" appear
to be forgotten.
