Lanutry To.Night.

Tonight Langtry will open at the
Grand Opera House to large audi
ence and will play As IN a Looking
glass. A fine effect is produced in the
last act Of this piece when Jack tells
what Lena has been to the husband
who is ignorant of it all. Mrs. Lang
try stands as if she were frozen-she
cannot speak, she scarcely seems to
see-it is finer thar any expression OF
surprise or horror could be, for it is
what happens to a woman when the
most awful thing that can be possible
has come to her. Later on she is
prone at Algy's feet, with her face
on the ground, the old position OF
sinner who reports. All is over,
and the unhappy woman can do no
more than give her life for the man
she loves. There are tears in her
voice as she reads the letter, there is
a pitifulness in her call for her hus-
band when the death agony is upon
her, there is physical suffering in her
effort to get at the window to breathe
the air Of heaven, there is one fall,
and-"Lena" is dead. She has got
ten the rest, and the man she loved
is free to make a new life for himself.

| Nothing i'll the noticeable letter on the
degradation of the civil service in Yer
mont in the New York Nation, which
we copy in another column, can be set
down to partisan prejudice. The writer
of it avows himself as an unyieldng mug
wump and friend and supporter of
Cleveland. But he is acquainted with
Vermont politics and having witnessed
the decentralization of the civil service,
and especially of the postal service, in this
| State, under boss rule, he is moved to tell
what he knows. His description of the
democratic party in Vermont and of the
methods and results of democratic admin
istration of the postal service is as truth
full rs it is vigorous. His facts-with the
exception of the remark that Paul Dlling
ham was one of our war governors and
one or two other minor statements hay
ing little or nothing to do with the main
subject of hls letter-are correct. His
deductions are not all equally SO.
He is wrong for instance, in his belief that
the "vtiated mail service" accounts suf
ticiently for the overwhelming republican
victory in Vermont The vtiated service
and the Outrages upon every principle of
civil service reform, which have been prac-
ticed with perfect impunity in this State
under Mr.. Cleveland's administration, I'M
doubtedly contri buted materially, as they
ought to have done, to the grand result
But the people of Vermont are strongly
aroused on the tariff question; and had
that been the only issue there would still
have been a heavy republican gain and
serious democratic loss in the State.
''Nermonter's" greatest error, however
is the supposition that Mr.. Clevelands
skirts can be kept clear of responsibility
for this condition of things. Who installed
our democratic bosses in power? Grover
Cleveland; and he did it knowing
well their character as bitter par
tisans and INSCRIPTIONS politicians.
Who maintains them in power without
rebuke or admonition Grover Cleveland.
Who backed up Col. Villas in his demoral-
cation of the postal service in Vermont?
Grover Cleveland. The president knows
well the men and the material facts that
are described by the Nations cores
pendent. Honest democrats and indie
pendents have protested against these
things in vain. No excuse can be made
for Mr.. Cleveland. If there was a State
in the Union in which he could have kept
the pledges by which he secured
his election, it was Vermont for
the democratic party had nothing
to lose here under any possible con-
dition of things He could have done
as he chose here, without fear of injury to
his party or to his own chances. And the
fact that he deliberately handed over
Vermont to bosses and the spoils system,
and that he sustains both bosses and sys-
ten here with his eyes open, is enough to
stamp him as a sham reformer and a
fraud.

Governor Dillingham's Message.

The governors message calls the atten-
ton of the Legislature, in clear and con
else manner, to various important mat
ters contained in the reports of the State
officers. He is able to report very favor
able condition of State finances The
State has no funded debt except the
State bonds in which the State invested
the Agricultural College fund, no floating
debt and hardly any other liabilities -
and its resources exceed its liabilities by
nearly $l70,0O0 The subject of education
occupies more space in the message than
any other topic. In regard to the common
schools the governor shows his deep real
ization of the need of wise legislation, and
endorses emphatically the plan recon
mended by the committee to revise the
law. He endorses also the appeal of the
trustees of the State University and Ag-
ricultural College for such liberal recog-
milton and assistance in the work of the
institution for the public, as is due to the
credit of the State and the welfare of
its citizens and expresses the hope that
the Legislature will place the State Uni.
versity upon plane of usefulness beft-
ting its character and aims
Gov. Dillingham; approves the PROPOSE
ton to give enlarged powers to the rail
road commission and as was to be eX-
pected he takes square ground in favor of
the prohibitory law. In regard to this he
makes the suggestion which will perhaps
take as much attention as any other in his
message, that 1t may be well to provide
penalty of imprisonment for the first Of
fence, The governors views on these and
the other subjects comprised in his mes

Legislature and of the citizens of Yer
mont, and we shall refer again to some of
them, when there is less pressure upon

persuaded to adopt the town system,
which is producing such good results in
other States.
They have endeavored to secure the
desired end, largely by means Of a system
of county supervision, exercised by officers,
one in each county, who shall be selected
with care and paid for their work. Bet
ter teachers are to be secured for the dis
tTict schools by means of more careful ey-
valuations, conducted by these officers
AID better work is to be secured from the
eachers through the influence, advice,
and watchful supervision OF these county
officers Other provisions are added de-
signed to improve the schools and
to secure better attendance upon
them. For instance, districts-and
there are such-which now eXpend
less than ten cents on the dollar of their
grand list, on their schools, can no longer,
if the bill becomes law, go on at any
such starvation rate; but every district
must expend school tax of at least eigh.
teen cents.
We await the full text of the bill-which
is not yet printed-before discussing its
various features, and only add to-day that
this system of county supervision is in
use, and working well, in some of the
States which are doing the NEST for com
mon school education. And we have
no doubt that great and speedy improve
ment in our public schools would result
from its adoption in this State.

Jacksonville show that the earliest re-
corded killing frost in that stricken
city was reported on November Is, 1880;
but Ia 1878 it had Eight frost" at tn
exceptionally early date of October 81
Although killing frost has been observed
at st. Augustine on November 30th, the
average date Is December oath, and one
year frost did not appear until February
9th. In the Louisiana epidemic of 1878
there were registered nearly 800 deaths
from yellow fever in the first twenty five
days of October-more than in the whole
of August-and no killing frosts took
place until December l6. AT Memphis in
October, 1879 there were over 200 cases
and eighty deaths from the disease
The table gives record of two places
in Vermont which will be of interest. At
Lunenburgh for twenty eight years, the
average date is September 20, the earliest
August and the latest November Is. AT
Charlotte for seventeen years the record
| is, average date October 81, the earliest
| October and the latest November 1. This
| difference of a month in the average date
| in the two places is doubtless due to the
| fact that Charlotte is situated on the lake
shore where Jack Frost is always slow
about putting in an appearance The
record for Charlotte was evidently made
up before the first killing frost this year,
which occurred over almost all of Yer
mont on the morning of September c.
our city of Burlington being one of
the few places that escaped serious
damage.

The School Bill.

An abstract of the more important fea-
lures of the bill proposed by the commits
sion to revise the school laws will be
found in another column. The commis-
sion consisted of Hon. Loveland Munson
of Manchester, President Ezra Brainerd
of Middlebury and Principal S, w. Ian
don of Burlington-three gentlemen of
high intelligence, large experience and
sound common sense, and for two years
past they have been giving unwearied
time, care and study to the subject com
mltted to them. The problem before
them was to provide an improved com
mon school system, for community
which az whole, wisely or unwisely, does
not approve, and apparently can not be

The March of the Frost Line.

The last number of the Monthly Weather
ReDielo, issued by the United States signal
service, contains an interesting table, ac-
companied by map, of the first killing
frost at 1872 stations. AS it is based on oh.
servatiOns carried on for many years,
farmers and planters may derive from il
valuable hints as to the time when their
late crops are in danger of freezing. The
data furnished are not only valuable as
records of American climatology but
they are especially interesting Just now
because they give some idea as to the time
when we may look for an end of the vel
low fever epidemic in the South.
An examination of the chart shows how
the frost wave, coming down from the
north, gradually creeps southwark with
sutumn's advance. As a rule killing
frosts are not experienced south
of line running from Bur
lington, southwesterly along the
shores of the great lakes to Toledo
and thence through Chicago toward Den
yer, until September Is. But by October
almost all of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are usually visited
Eastern Tennes zee. Northern Alabams
and Northern Georgia are included by
October Is, but the Atlantic seacoast anC
the Mississippi valley are likely to bt

SPORTS FOR THE WINTER.
Plans Members of the Coasting Club Have
Under deration.

Members of the Burlington Coasting
club are now agitating the question OF
sports for the coming winter, and it is
suggested by some that inasmuch as the
great objection to the Edmunds slide has
been that it is situated too far from the
business part of the city, that teams be
procured at the expense of the club to
| transport the members to the slide one or
two days and evenings in each week, and
also to adopt the same plan in coasting
down the Main street hill. 1t is also
suggested that the annual dues be low
cred from 50 to 81, which would undoubt-
edly increase the sum now in the treasury
$500 or 800, making sum amply suffi-
Gent to keep the slide and coast open one
or two days each week, besides the other
expenses already mentioned.
Many are also in favor of the club offer
ing prizes, not too expensive, for an ice
yacht regatta, open to craft from this city.
Another plan favored by many provides
for the construction of au ice skating rink
on the flat Just west of the Edmunds
slide, which can be done with very little
expense In these ways the members
would be able to obtain many days OF
sport in the course of the coming winter.

is plain and straightforward document
more occupied with a It of his stew
ardship than with advice for the future
which retiring governors too often deem
it courteous to leave to their successors
though the advice of a sensible man who
has held the office ought to be more valu.
able than the advice of a sensible new
conner to the duties. The chief sugges-
lions OF the message have regard to the
imminent need of improvement in our
common school system; to the State rail
road commission; to the matter of the
Gettysburg monument to care of the in
sane, and to the agricultural interests OF
the State. Gov. Ormsbee expresses his
approval of the school bill which has been
prepared by the commissioners appointed
by the last Legislature to revise and re-
draft our school law. The features of
that bill are not stated by either
the retiring or new governor,
doubtless because it was to be
Immediately presented to the Legislature.
Gov Ormsbee apparently thinks it would
be we'll to give the railroad commission
more power to correct las well as to call
attention to- grievances falling within
worthily complete the patriotic work OF
concentrating the valor of her sons on
the pivotal battlefield of the war for the
Union, He appreciates the value of the
work which the State board of agrcul.
ture, the State experiment station and
the State Agricultural college are engaged
in, for the promotion of the great agri
cultural interest OF the State; and he
| commends them to the attention and care
of the Legislature. He suggests pro
vision for new department for the care
of the incurable and idiotic insane, to be
established in con nection with the Brat
| tleboro asylum. The information OIL
these and other subjects, conveyed in the
message, is interesting and important
The list of pardons appended to the mes,
sage shows that Gov. Ormsbee has par
doned no criminal from the State prison
and but three offenders from the House OF
Correction one of whom was seriously
Ill and another in failing health. Ten
persons were canditionally discharged
| by him from the House of Correction
In these as in other matters his
course has been careful and conservative
In bidding farewell to the now retired
governor, we take occasion to congratu
late him on the success of his administra
ton. 1t not brilliant-and few of our
governors can be said to have made bril-
liant records-it has certainly been safe
honorable and efficient. Gov Ormsbee
have neglected no known duty. He has
given judcious care to the public inter
ests committed to him. His appointments
have been generally approved. He has de
servedly grown in the regard and con
tidence of the people during his term Of
Office and he will carry with him theil
sincere respect and esteem in his retire
ment from the chief magistracy OF tn,
