AN ALLEGED DEBT.


In letter to the secretary of the
treasury, the third auditor states
that at the settlement of accounts
with Vermont at the close of the
war, there was a suspended balance
of $66,s90 in favor of the state, the
payment of which is now asked.
The auditor explains that the war
department furnished to Vermont
arms and equipments to the amount
of $64O,G44; that certain credits
to which the state was entitled re-
duced this debt in the ordnance
department to $549, $50; that under
a joint resolution of congress au-
thorizing the treasurer to pay any
balance found to he due to the
state, the sum of $l6,464 was so
found and paid, as the full amount
of all claims.
1t is now claimed that this sum
was paid to the state when the latter
was actually owing the ordnance
department of the government over
half a million of dollars. The au-
ditor adds that the state sold $780,
600 worth of stores, and deposited
that sum in the state treasury. The
time is deemed opportune to call
these facts to the attention of the
Legislature, and meantime any bal.
ance claimed to be due the state re-
mains in suspense.
Briefly stated, the answer to
this showing of the war department
is, that at the time of the st. Adams
raid the government could not send
troops to protect the frontier, but
sent arms and equipments with
which the people organized to pro-
tect themselves; that in furnishing
them arms the government antici-
pated some fifty years acquisitions
the state could lawfully make upon
the general government; that the
arms furnished cannot be Justly
regarded as debt against the state
or considered as an offset to any
claims the state may have upon the
government " ermonter.
Apropos of the above, a Wash
ington special says, "There is reason
to believe that the State of Vermont
will contest the material allegations
Of auditor Williams" but in the
meantime the State officials should
make an immediate investigation,
and present the facts to the legis.

Tho Standard Time.

What is known as the "new standard
time" was adopted by agreement by all
the principal railroads of the United States
at IL o'clock noon on Nov. 10, 1888. The
system divides the continent into five lon
gitudinal belts and fixes meridian of
time for each belt. These meridians are
fifteen degrees of longitude, corresponding
time standards used by the railroads from
fifty-threo to five, g eat convenience to
the railroads and the travelling public.
The suggestion lending to the adoption of
this new system originated with Professor
Able, of the Signal Bureau at Washing
ton, and was elaborated by DIR. f. A. p.
Barnard, of Columbia College, New York
The scheme was proposed in SIS, but was
not adopted until it bad been submitted to
number Of scientific association ut homo
and abroad and received their approval,

TEACHING NEWS OF THE DAY.

To make good citizens, an intelli-
gent understanding of the history Of
our own country in all its phases, a
clear idea of its form of govern
ment, its institutions and it's laws,
should be had by both men and
women, and this can be obtained in
its best form only by having it be-
come part of the education. Not
only this, but there should also be a
knowledge of the past and present
Of other countries and their civiliza-
ton, that better judgment may be
formed of the advantages and dis
advantages of the vast influx Of for
eigners into the United States, and
the individual influence be properly
directed thereafter.
1t is because of this necessity
vital one in Republic like this
that not history alone, but the cur
rent events Of the day all over the
world, should be taught in the pub
lie schools. This can easily be done
by means of the telegraphic columns
in the daily newspapers, which, like
mirrors, reflect the happenings in
different countries so that it is posi-
bic to keep daily pace with the
march Of events on the opposite
side of the earth, as well as upon
our own. 1t is no longer necessary
to wait for months to learn what is
passing in Central Asia. The rail
road and telegraph have penetrated
even there, and swept away the
heavy cobwebs which the centuries
have woven over the ancient civil.
cation of those nations.
BY having children's attention
called from day to day to the social
and political changes chronicled by
the papers, scholars will obtain a
wonderful fund of information
which will make them more intelli.
gent and practical men and women
than they can otherwise be. They
will acquire taste for general in.
formation, that will not be likely to
be lost even when the cares of later
life crowd thick and fast upon
them.
That the teaching of the news of
the day is entirely practicable has
been sufficiently demonstrated to
take it out of the domain of an ex.
pertinent, but it ought to be made a
part of the every day work in all of
the schools, beginning in the lower
grades with important events in
this country, and progressing, as
pupils grow older and more capable
of understanding and remembering
TO those of other countries. The
boys and girls will leave school with
a broader intelligence and bette,
education every way, than they
will with this branch of study omit
