Politics begin to become lively
in most of the States. A peculiar
feature of the present campaign is
that many OF the old war horses
will be given a rest, whilst new
men are being brought to the front
1t may be better for the country.
There are many men who can not
leave their old roads, and keep
alongside Of the progressive spirit
of the times. And it IS natural
that young men coming into action
seek men of their own age tor their
leaders in political contests.
That is simply human nature. 1t
has always been so. 1t will ever be
so.
As a new generation approaches
the elder ones must yield place to
them.

DEATH OF Hon. E. S. DANA.

As the paper is going to press intelli-
gence comes of the death of Hon. Ed
ward S. Dana, Wednesday night, at his
home in New Haven.
Mr.. Dana was born in the town of
Cornwall, April ~, 1894, and was the son
of Austin Dana. late of that town. After
his school days were over. during which
he was employed in the department of
the sergeant-at-arms for one or more of
the sessions of the Vermont legislature,
he obtained an az pointment at Washing
ton and was several years in the service
of the government-tirst,as clerk and eX
aminer-in-chief in the pension office and
then as assistant clerk of the House of
Representatives from 1866 to 1871. After
he left Washington, his father having
died about that time, he gave his atten-
ton to farming, a few years in Cornwall,
but of late in New Haven. He repre-
sented Cornwall in the Legislature of
1874, and was senator from the north
part of this county in 1880. Mr.. Dana
was n man of excellent clerical ability,
and from his large experience in parlia-
mentary affairs and natural adaptation
superior presiding officer in public meet
ings. Until failing health prevented, ,
from boyhood he had been prominent in
the political affairs of the State. He was
leading member of the Masonic frater-
nifty. and pleasant, genial man to meet.
He married daughter of the late Dea.
Calvin Squer of New Haven. who. with
two sons. survives him. For nearly two
years Mr.. Dana had been in poor
health, much of the time confined to the
house. During the last season. however,
he was able to be about. and was clerk of
the town of New Haven at the time of
his death. Mr.. Dana was a man of
literary tastes. having well-selected IL

/ thoroughly familiar; and was of the men
in active life in this county one of the

man of great purity of private character,
and took a deep interest in educational
and religious affairs. He had lately unit

THE SECRET OUT.

Hiram Atkins of Montpelier let the
whole thing out in an interview with the
Boston Records correspondent at Wash
ington the other day. He said:
do not think that senator Edmunds will
get one vote in four of the Republicans in our
legislature. | have come to this conclusion
within week, from reports which have
reached me from all over the state from Re
publican sources The Blaine Republicans in
Vermont are organizing against his re.elcc-
tion. The fight will be Edmunds and anti
Edmunds, and it will be savage. do not say
that Governor smith will be the candidate
against him. All the latter's friends say that
he is not n candidate. But ii is determined to
make the fight against Edmunds. Some of
the leading Republicans in the State have de-
cared against him. Franklin, Windham and
Caledonia counties are the only ones in which
he is sure of II majority. Some of the counties
will hardly return an Edmunds man to the
legislature. The Democrats will vote for their
own candidate, but in towns where they are
in Il hopeless minority the Democrats will
very likely take sides where the contest is be
tween an Edmunds and anti.Edmunds ca ndi-
date for the Legislature.
That there was thorough understand
ing between the anti-Edmunds crowd and
the Democrats has long been known to
those who are familiar with the ''inside'
of Vermont politics. But while it was
morally certain that this was the fact it
would have been hard to prove it. The
friends of Mr.. Edmunds should send Il
leather medal to the lrQuS man. 1t l.
remarkable that he should have been 50
confidential. Perhaps he had been out
to dinner with the boys" The authen-
ticity of the interview will probably he
denied: but people will believe it all thc
same.

HlNEsBURGH's EXPERIENCE.
From the Burlington Free Press.

The town system of schools was adopted in
Hinesburgh in 1871 and has steadily worked
its way upward in public favor. At the time
of its adoption the town was nearly divided,
but now after trial of 10 years, few, if any,
would wish to return to the old way. Seven
new school houses have been built, which for
convenience and adaptability to school pur-
poses are a great improvement on the old.
1t is safe to say that few country towns have
better school houses than Hinesburgh. The
number of schools under the district system
was IA; the number maintained under the
town system is l3; the average number of
weeks of school in n year under the old sys
TEN was %, under the new ii is 30. The aver
age cost per week of the schools in 1870 was
S6.G6. The average cost per week in 1855
was SG.G}. OF course these figures do not in
clude repairs If we compare the efficiency
of the schools under the two systems the re
suits are decidedly in favor of the town svs-
TEN. District quarrels are entirely eliminat-
ed. Uniformity of school work is secured
and II wise administration of the schools is
maintained from year to year, with scarcely
any friction. The burden of school support
in some districts, under the old system, was
Oncrous, often from 30 to 100 per cent of the
| grand list. Now that ii is borne equally by all
| il rarely exceeds p percent. For the last five
years the town has raised but - per cent
| school tax, and this has maintained the thir.
/ teen primary schools and II high school of
! twenty-five weeks each year. The Hines.
| hurgh school board numbers six, elected for
/ three years, and with the exception of the
chairman, who acts as town superintendent,
they receive no pay. school supervision, al.
though under the direction of the whole board,

THE reports of town officers made
each year would be materially improved
if, to the bare figures now given, We're
added full report by the selectmen.
Their statement should, in part. be eX-
planatory of the expenditures of the year,
if explanation is needed-which is often
the case; but devoted more especially to
the needs of the towns for the wear to
come. They acquire familiarity with
affairs that no one else possesses. and
ought to give the voters of the towns the
benefit of it. They can tell what roads
need repairs and scores of other things
which voters will be glad to know. And
then their successors will have something
to guide them, provided the board is en-
tirely changed in any year. But that is
poor policy and cannot profitably be
followed in any town. 1t costs too much
to educate selectmen under such sys-
tenn. No sooner has one set found out
what they ought and ought not to do than
they are superseded and new board tries
it, with the same result. \ judicious
person managing Il large and complicated
private business would not change his
employees yearly land the same principles
that hold in private are equally worthy of
consideration in public business.

THE STEAM SAW Mill, VERGENNES

One of the first industries in Il new
town is saw mill. and the history of the
saw mill includes the history of the set
tlement. \ saw mill was built on the
west side of the creek in 1865 by Pang-
born. and he was given the water power
and fifty acres of land for this improve
mcnt. Large stories are told of the pines
then growing where the business part of
the city now stands. The Pangborn gift
was transferred by him, in July, l11G, to
his property was subsequently contisca-
ted and it came into the possession of
Gideon Spencer, whOmOved To Nergennes
in l1S6. The town of Panton induced
John Strong to build saw mill about
this time. At one time there were five
saw mills running in this place. Gen.
Samuel Strong came to Nergcnnes from
Addison in 1884. His patriotism at
Plattsburg, afterwards. made him the
pride of the State. \ saw mill was es-
tablished by him on the island, where the
pump house now stands. This mill and
island was owned by DR.. Hopkins. latter

works. Green Il Roberts carried on Il
saw mill for many years in rear of build

WHY SENATOR EoMuNos DIDN'T SPEAK
FOR BLAINE.

All sorts of motives-good,b bad and in
|difierent-have been imputed to Sena tor
|Edmunds for his silence during the last
campaign. The truth has at last come
|out. 1t is now clear, as his friends al
|ways believed it would be some time,
that he had the best of reasons for say
ling nothing. The cause of his action is
! thus set forth in Washington letter to
the Boston Daily AdrertiSer:
am able to contradict the report which has
been so industriously circulated in Vermont
to tMr. Edmund's injury, that he refused to
speak for the Republican ticket during the
asst presidential campaign. The truth is that
ne offered his services as IA speaker to the
Republican national committee, unasked, at
he same time frankly telling them OF the ex-
stence of certain written statements made by
lim in the spring of lssO. He left il for them
% say whether, in view of the probability
hat those statements would be made public,
Il was prudeut for him to make any addresses.
the committee decided il was not and that
the reason, and the sole reason, why Mr.,
Idmunds did not take "A more active part in
he campaign. Mr.. Edmunds did not "sulk in
is tent" as has been alleged. He was earn
st for the success Of the Republican ticket

xpedient that he should speak, on account
his unfavorabe opinion of Mr.. Blaine,
