The idea suggested in the report Of the
committee of agriculture, that young men
dislike TO take an agricultursi course in
the Agricultural college 10 connection with
students who are pursuing a classical
course, could hardly have been based upon
any inquiries among the young lnen them
selves. No distinctions OF standing rank or
caste are made in the University between
the classical, scientific, industrial and az
ricultural students. All are on common
footing. The majority Of students are
sons OF farmers, and they are not wont to
despise or discrtdit the calling of their
fathers. If 1t were true that our young
men, who want to study agriculture, want
to do it by themselves, we should see
them seeking the agricultural college
Of New Hampshire, just across the Con
necticut, which ls purely agricultural
school without any classical department.
But in fact there are only fec Nermonters
IN the New Hampshire agricultural school
all of them from the two towns OF No.
wich aud Hartford. The truth is, it is an
advantage to the agricultural students to
be associated with those in the other de-
partments.

mis- is pretty small quihbling. We are
well aware hat Mr. Carroll Pitkin is n
good republican, good business man and
good citizen. We also know that Clar.
ence II. Pitkin, esq, who was the leading
advocate of the license bill before the
committee, IS Mr. Cleveland's district
attorney for Vermont and prominent
member of the party which in its national
and State platforms declares against
"sumptuary legislation meaning all
legislation for the effective restriction of
the liquor tra1ic-and which has the IN
divided support Of the saloons. OF course
he and other good democrats, who went
before the committee, favored the bill. 1t
would help make democratic votes in
Vermont If it could become a law. OF
that, however, there is no prospect.

meeting. All of this is by way oil
preface to the remark that the klnu
of men who should henceforth ana
forever be sent to the Legislature arc
men who have enough business al
home TO know the value of time ana
men of sufficient sagacity to discern
what is truly important in state ano
local affairs. We need more OF the
kind who get up at sun rise, eat DIN
ner at u o'clock and go to bed al
candle light, and fewer of the fellows
who dine ON truflled grouse at p m
and discuss oysters on toast at mid
night. With such men as represen'
tatives business will be speedily
transacted, the general public will be
freed of iobbers and lobbyist, and the
Legislature will be converted from
political incubator and pleasure re-
sort into an honorable law-making
department of state.
