The article from the New York Times,

Sackville West contains the following
passage.
from The New York Times, August a.
There Is this further consid Grafton in
favor of supporting the administration on
this issue. 1t will leave the question still
open for friendly means of settlement of
some Kind, while support of the Senate's
position would close all avenues of future
negotiations, and bring upon the country
the disastrous consequences of retaliation,
hostility, and possible war 1t would put
an end to all prospect of improving the
commercial relations of the United States
and Canada. This is one of the questions
which the people should keep in mind in
casting their votes next November,

The Common SchOols-WilI The
School Bill Meet the Case

Will the bill reported by the School
Commission reach the sources of weakness
in our present public school system We
think it will reach some of them and not
others. The narrowness and parsimony,
from which the schools suffer so seriously
In many districts, cannot be cured by
legislation Yet something can be DONE
and will be done, if the bill becomes a
law, to secure better support Of the
schools in the poorer and neglected dis
tricts. Under the requirement that no
town shall raise school tax of less than
Is per cent, with the provisions for enforc
ing 1t, cases, such as we are informed
now exist, where tax of less than ten
cents is raised for school purposes will not
occur. The new method of apportioning
the public money will also be to some eX-
tent for the benefit of the poorer districts.
10 this method the commissioners gave
careful study, and on examination it will,
we think, be found to be less complicated
than 1t seems, at first sight, to be and to
be decided improvement upon the
present method.
The crying evil of multiplicity of
little districts, we fear will not
be very soon or very extensively
abated by this bill. The town system is
the proper cure for that. But under the
influence of the supervisors, if the bill be-
comes law, some towns which refuse to
adopt the town system, may be induced
to rearrange and consolidate their dis
tricts, to the advantage of the schools.
The substitution of county supervision
by officers whose sole business is the care of
the schools, in place of the existing meth
Cd of town superintendent, is the main
feature of the bill, and its most valuable
one. If the supervisors are wisely selected
this change must work a speedy and i'm
portant change for the better in the
schools. Teachers will be selected with
greater care, and will work under closer
| and more helpful oversight. The county
supervisors, would sometimes meet
as a body, for mutual counsel, under
the lead of the State superintendent
and the existence of such body of
judicious and competent officers would do
much to repair the injury effected by the
adjustment of the State Board of Educa.
ton.
AS the committee on education have de-
cided to eliminate the subject of the
normal schools from the bill, and take up
that subject as separate matter, we re
serve remarks upon that and other feat
ures of House bill No. 3, for a future issue.
On the whole the changes contemplated
by the bill seem TO us to be in
the right line; to contain some vau-
able features and to be likely to
work an improvement in the schools
worth many times over the slightly IN
creased cost of the new system. The ad.
ditional outlay of $4,000 or $1,000 a year by
the State upon its common schools is moth
ing in comparison with the advantages to
be gained by the measure, and Il will all

The speech OF Lieut.-Col. Pingree
at the Fourth Vermont reunion in
regard to deserters has called forth
considerable comment in the state
press. The colonel was technically
correct, but his statement should be &C
companied by the explanation that no
considerable portion Of the men actually
with any of the old regiments In the Yer
mont brigade deserted. The desertion list
was swelled, toward the close OF the war,
by the names of men who are assigned to
those regiments but never reached them.
large portion deserted befor leaving the
State.-MOntpcliCr journal.
II Lieut.. Col. Pingree said what he was
reported to have said-viz. that there were
fewer deserters from the Fourth Vermont
than from any other Vermont regiment, he
was not technically correct. When matters
of this sort are under discussion 1t is well to
be as nearly accurate as possible, and the
records are sometimes more accurate than
recollections-after lapse Of twenty odd
years. The records Of the Fourth show
that eighty-two of its men deserted during
the first three years Of the war, thirty
! seven of whom were members Of the regi-
ment when 1t was first mustered In,
and most of whom deserted after they had
been from one to two years in the ranks.
Some companies lost comparatively few
men by desertion. Thus Co. f., of which
Lieut.. Col. S. NJ. Pingree was originally a
member, had but half dozen deserters.
| In other mpanies desertion seemed to be
epidemic, Co. c., for instance, losing nc
less than tmenty men in this way About

WEAKNESS with the service, dishonesty OF

The New Voters

One of the most important elements to
be taken into consideration in specializing
on the probable result of the coming cleo.
ton is the number Of young men who will
this year for he first time cast ballot for
president of the United States. According
to the census of 1880 the voting population
born in the United States was in that year
S.270,5lS: and of this no less than 1871
703, or nearly nineteen per cent. were 81,
%, % and "a years of age. 1t is fair to es-
innate the native voting population in
this year, 1855, as not less than 10000, OOO
and Of these nearly 100000 will for the
first time have an opportunity of voting
for president. From one point of view
these new voters will determine the result
Of this years election, since the
increase in population has been the
largest in the Northern States it is
fair to assume that majority of
these 100000 new voters will cast their
ballots in these States. Aside from the
fact that the republican party has espec-
ial claim upon the young man because it
is the party Of progress, there is another
element which is likely to prove deter
mining factor with large number. 1t is

$50, 900 are. sons Of Union veterans. The
great majority.of the veterans of the Union
armies are republicans. Their sons take
pride in the achievements of their fathers.
They cannot conscientiously cast their
first vote for a man who has shown dis.
respect and hostility to these veterans for
the last four years, and who is the repre-
sentative of the party that declared the
war failure. They. will rather vote as
their fathers fought and their votes alone
will suffice to give the electoral voters of
the so called doubtful Northern States to
Harrison and Morton. 1t is difficult to
see what claim the democratic party can
have on the wide-awake young man who
has the best interest Of his native coun-
try at heart.

The attitude of Senator Edmunds to
ward the republican ticket has been per-
fectly understood by his fellow-citizens of
Vermont, and by all persons who cared to
inform themselves on the subject. No
man in this country gave more cordial
welcome to the nominations of Harrison
and Morton than he did. His refusals to
take the stump have been based solely on
the condition of his health, his lack of
voice to address large assemblages and
his public duties and engagements, and
have been invariably accompanied by ex-
pressons Of the liveliest interest in the
success of the party and of the strongest
personal desire for the success of its can
didates. II anybody has remained in
doubt, in regard to the matter, however,
he will remain so no longer after reading
Mr.. Edmunds's vigorous reply to the edi.
tor of the New York sun. The latter +
criticism has really done piece of good
service to the republican cause for it has
called out one of the clearest and strong
est statements of the public reasons which
demand the defeat OF Cleveland and the
election of Gen. Harrison that has appear
ed during the campaign.
