given Chicago the opportunity to get con-

Cleveland's tariff measure was his platform

The discussion of the school question
is sure to bring two opinions to the sur
face, whether it be their religious tend
ency or the sytem advocated. Having
knowledge Of the advantages as well as
the disadvantages of both the graded
and old academic sytems, there are not
a,few who incline to the belief that the
graded idea, emanating from Ohio in Its
incipient stages, was not an improve
ment over the New England theory Of
the public school and academy Of earlier
years.
When it comes TO teaching in either,
there are found to be two sides to that
question also. In commenting upon
this the Boston Journal says:

TcIegraphing In the Country.

There has grown up among the
farmers of county in Michigan a tele-
graph system which might be generally
extended throughout the rural districts
everywhere, The system began by two
farmers connecting their houses with a
wire for their own convenience and
operating their line with the ordinary
Morse instrument. Gradually other
farmers extended the line to their
houses, and after time the wire was
run into the neighbOring village. Seven
years ago the combined farmers and Il
few village merchants organized them
selves into a company, and it has since
been extended until now it has sixty
1--WE miles of wire and ninety offices, two
thirds OF the latter being in farm houses
and nearly all Of the rest IN stores
where these farmers do their trading.
One or two newspaper offices, as many
more railroad freight offices, the county
telephone exchange and the larger post
Offices are all connected. Every farmer
is his own operator, battery man and
line repairer. OF course any quantity
OF private communication is kept up be-
tween the stockholders of this independ-
ent SYSTEM Chicago Times
In the northern part of Bennington
county similar line has been in sue
cessful operation for number of years,
and is called the Green Mountain tele-
graph. 1t not only extends from Man
chester south to Sunderland, but north
through Manchester Center, Manchester
Depot to Barnumville and from thence
over the mountains to Peru and Land
grove, and is of great convenience to
the many patrons along the way.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

For the benefit of those who claim
that farming does not pay IN Vermont ]
will give few facts which have recent.
ly come to my notice. Uriah Coburn OF
Vershire has hill farm of warm, early
soil and carries it on mostly with but
one hired man. For the last two or
three years he has made onions special
crop and sells readily all he raises at a
dollar bushel. Five hundred bushels is
the largest crop he has raised in one
year. He grows enough Of other crops
for his own use and also has cattle and
sheep. Of maple sugar he made this
year 1860 pounds. His sugar has the
reputation Of being first class, and he
has no trouble in finding a market at
good prices. He put in a few beans to
fill out, and the past season sold eigh-
teen bushels Of beans, almost at the door
at two dollars bushel. Mr.. Worthley.

pounds Of sugar and sold it for from

A case of peculiar interest has just
been decided in the Chancery Court OF
New Jersey. A year or more ago man
by the name OF Hutchings, a wealthy
resident of Gloucester county. died leav.
ing will containing bequest to Henry
George for the purpose of aiding him in
the circulation OF his land theory, The
heirs determined to contest the will and
application was made to the Court OF
Chancery for a construction OF the in.
strument. The Court held that Mr..
George advocated practices in respect OF
real estate in violation of the laws of the
land and that the dissemination OF his
sentiments could not be sanctioned. The
clause making the bequest to George
was declared void. This is, we believe,
the first judicial decision upon the sub
ject in this country. Fortunately it is
in favor of the preservation of the long
established and equitable rules govern
ing private ownership of lands. Had
this bequest been held valid it would
have been heralded by the disciples OF
George as the foI erunner OF decisions OF
the same nature, but Of much broader
scope, certain to be made il once they
could have a day in court. The decision
was given by Vice Chancellor Bird, one
OF the most eminent chancery lawyers
in this country and there is no chance
that it will ever be reviewed. Tele =

teaching was an art, involving the study
of the nature of the mind and the pecu-
liarities of character. One well known
and successful teacher of private
school adhered to the belief that a
teacher was born and not made, and
that many of the deficiencies in schools
result from the unfitness Of teachers for
their positions. The belief of this party
of thinkers was probably shared by the
New York critic who said recently OF
the schools in that city: THE most
wonderful result of all our $4,000, OOO
and of our whole array OF complicated
machinery at present consists in school.
houses in which there is no teaching"
That the two opposing views lead often
to misunderstanding is natural and
much to be regretted, since they can be
brought into harmony by proper ad-
iustment of their values. Only persons
who have natural taste and aptitude
for teaching should adopt the profession
but these require proper training, as
physicians or lawyers feel a course OF
instruction necessary for their pursuits
All educators are beginning to realize
that teaching is a trade as well as an
art, and many colleges have introduced
a course in pedagogics in their curricu-
lum. In the midst of much discour
aging grumbling from the public it is
evident that teachers are energetic in
striving to solve the educational prob

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The sillicst of all things was the pre-.
sentation a few days ago Of silver
crown to Jefferson Davis by some of his
Southern admirers. But, after all, il
was not inappropriate. Monarchism
never ceased to impress the Southern
people, and the Confederacy was only a
sort of tuft on the tail of the British lion.

Carolina, as in other States, free rum is

the Bourbons have played sharp trick

1t is fortunate that there is now a
good prospect that the suit against the

The Democratic indor-ement of the
Mills bill in Pennsylvania is worth
good many thousand votes to the Re-
publicans. They are not greatly needed
in the Keystone State, but they will give
the Republican majority plump and
attractive look.

the Methodist Conference on the seventh
ballot for Bishops reported two fraudu-
lent ballots. Ten to one they were cast
by absent-minded Democrats or Third

they were not in a political convention.

Final Collapse orthe Great C. Ii, & q,
strike,

The Chicago Tribune Thursday morn.
ing says: At conference recently held
between Chief Arthur of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers. Grand
Master Sargent of the firemen, II. d.
Kennedy. j. Hoge and other representa-
tives Of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy strikers, an arrangement was
made ny which the great strike was vir
tually declared off. 1t was decided to
make the question OF a surrender or a
continuance OF the fight a matter of
local option. In other words, the sepa-
rate divisions OF the two brotherhOOds
OIL the line of the 90 were authorized
to take the matter in their own hands.
In consequence OF this move, the strike
is already declared off at Lincoln, Neb.,
McCook, Neb., Creston, Iowa and sever
al other western points. The strikers at
Galesburg, Aurora, Kansas City and
several of the eastern divisions resolved
to continue the fight, but it only ques
ton of short time when they will be
forced to surrender. This step was
forced upon the strikers by reason Of
depleted treasury, with DO possibility Of
raising the money necessary to meet the
immense monthly expenses incident to
paying 1000 men $40 apiece, 1t is not
claimed that any special arrangement
was made with the company, but the
strikers are confident that large per
centAge will regain their former places.
Thus ends the great 20" strike. The
struggle was protracted to time when
a graceful surrender was impossible and
the men simply accept the inevita-
BILE.
An Exchange commenting on this,
says: 1T would have been much bet
ter for their brotherhood if the striking
Burlington engineers had formally sur
rendered some time ago. Their foolish
obstinacy in keeping up show Of con-
testing has won them no credit, while it
has given the road good excuse for
evaporation. The Burlington strike
will be remembered as one Of the great
est labor fiascos on record, and one Of
