Proposed Cannery The object Of the
meeting called by Mr., Wills st CoX's Station
of parties, interested in the proposed cannery,
which is published in this issue Of the INDIE
PENDENT, is 10 ascertain the number Of acres
each farmer is willing to plast, in crops suit
liable for canning purposes. We commend
the energy which is being displayed by Mr..
Wills in this new enterprise at that 60 ahead
business place. The only difficulty that our
people labor under in this county is and has
been, lack of enterprise, every succeeding
year, however more clearly demonstrates tn
we are gradually being pulled out OF the deep
worn ruts by such business men as Mr.. Wills
The time is not far distant when our people will
lie as prosperous as any section ofour grand

A SENSIBLE OFFICIAL.

Mavor Hewitt of New York has much
hard sense and the courage to act out his
convictions. His recent refusal to accede
to a request that the flag of Ireland
should be allowed to fly from the city
hall on St. Patrick's day is an example.
He has published a long letter on the
subject, in which he goes into the ethics
as we'll as the law of the matter and
holds that the danger line is reached,
"where we must decide if native or for
eign ideas are to rule this city," He
says that as it is a part of the Irish
demand for home rule that the Irish
should rule Ireland, so they should con-
cede the right Of Americans to rule Am
erica. He calls attention to the fact that
all foreign-born citizens have equal rights
before the law with native-born Ameri-
cans. and it would be manifestly wrong
for a public officer to officially recognize
one foreign nationality more than anoth-
er. If there were more officials like
Mayor Hewitt, who appears to prize prin-
ciple above the chance for reelection, the
dangers and difficulties of one sort and
another growing out of the mixed char
acter of our population. especially in the
great cities. might be avoided, or even
turned into means for popular education,
as in this instance.

NOTE AND COMMENT,

South Hero is another town which
threw up the town system of schools at
its March meeting.
S. V. White of Brooklyn and Wall
street finds that the opportunities for
work in Congress are boundless, but
those of achievement small, and so de-
clines reelection to the House.
Two women up in North Fayston
wanted the place of postmistress and the
war of words that ensued was so bitter
that one of them has felt called upon to
sue the other for defamation Of character
The president and cashier of bursted
North Carolina bank had fine sense of
the eternal fitness of things. They stole
and went to Canada with $4,000 cash,
including $4,000 in gold. to bear which
the absconders took along the colored
porter of the bank.
The Springfield Republican recently
said that "with the exception of a few
Southwestern ranchmen, wool-growing
with us is mere incident of farming :"
but the Rural Vermonter doesn't believe
it and proceeds to show that five sheep
on the farm to one on the ranches is the
correct ratio. 1t also demonstrates for
the edification of the free-trade Republi-
can that from 1850 to 1860, under a low
tariff, the increase in sheep was l-2 per
cent; in the next decade, under a pro-
tective tariff, ~ per cent, and in the fol-
lowing ten years. A per cent, while from
1884 to 1887, under the operation of the
reduced tariff of 1888, there was falling
of of 6,0O0,0 900 in the number of sheep,
and that the importations of wool rose
from 7s,0O0,0OO pounds in 1884 to l14,-
OO,O00 pounds in 1887.

DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE.

Hon. Morrison r. Waite, chief Justice
of the supreme court of the United States,
died at Washington on Friday last, after
a brief illness. He was the son of Con-
necticut chief justice and was born at
Lyme, that State, in 1876 After his grad
uation from Harvard he went to Ohio.
In 1874 Mr.. Waite was appointed chief
Justice by President Grant to succeed
Chief Justice Chase, who died in May,
1873. The Springfield Republican very
Justly says of him: "He was not great
or brilliant. But possessed of much COM
mon-sense and a well-balanced judgment,
with firm grasp of facts and clear con-
ception of questions of law, he perform
ed his duties faithfully and well and with
an eye single to the welfare of the pub
lie
Speculation is busy, of course, over his
successor. Hon. E. J. Phelps is men
toned, but those best informed do not ex-
pect his appointment. 1t is rather curious,
though, to see in staunch Republican
Journal like the Boston Traveller such an
expression as this: "Minister Phelps is
coming home from Great Britain. His
high character and his eminent legal
abilities very naturally suggest his name
in connection with the now vacant chief
justiceship. A much less fitting appoint
ment could certainly be made"

Bond and II. L. Sheldon, who had been
nominated for the office, had withdrawn.
B. S. Beckwith moved that $1,000 of the
$1,000 funded Indebtedness of the district
be paid the coming year. John w. Mar
tin moved to amend by making the
amount $4,000. The amendment was car
ried and the original motion as amended
prevailed.
per cent had been voted by the adoption
of the auditors report. 1t was voted
that the committee lay such additional
tax as was necessary to pay the $4,000
of Indebtedness.
1t was voted, on motion of Rev. Mr..
Palmer, that the chair appoint commit
tee of three to attend the examinations in
the High school at the close of the year and
report on the work therein to the pruden-
tial committee. The chair named as such
committee Rev. Mr.. Palmer, Chas. NJ.
Wilds, Esq, and Rev. DR.. Z. II. Archi-
bald.
The customary deduction of per cent
on all taxes paid to the collector on or
before Sept. l was voted. Ii. L. Sheldon
moved that the collector be instructed to
add ) per cent to all taxes not paid
on or before Sept. 30. The motion was
discussed by Messrs. Tupper and Mcleod
and was laid on the table. The collector
was instructed, on motion of Mr.. Tup-
per, to pay taxes into the treasury as fast
as collected. A motion by II. l.. Shell
don, that no commission be paid the col
lector on taxes which had been in his
hands over one year, was lost.
Rev. Mr.. Palmer said the auditors re-
port showed that over $3.50 had been ex-
pended the past year for the teaching of
music, and wanted to know why that was
done when the district voted but S75 for
the purpose. Rev. Mr.. Carpenter said
that after getting a teacher here to in
struct the teachers how to teach music it
was found that some of the teachers were
not able to give instruction in that branch,
so Miss Higley had been employed.
George Hammond thought the district S
vote of a year ago might be construed as
permisson to eXpend at least S75 for mu-
steal instruction, but need not necessarily
be taken as limiting the expenditure to
that amount.
Mr.. Upper moved, and it was voted
after somewhat extended discussion,
that interest be added to all taxes not paid
by Sept. l.
Rev. Mr.. Carpenter offered these reso-
lutions, which were adopted, and the
meeting adjourned:
Resolved, That the long and efficient
services of Mr.. G. ID. Mead as principal
of the Middlebury Graded school entitle
him to hearty vote of thanks from the
district. For sixteen years past he has
had under his influence the minds of hun
dreds of our boys and girls to form ana
mould at the most formative and suscep-
tible period of their development, and his
influence has been stimulating and salu-
tary. We hereby testify our appreciation
of the faithfulness with which he has
served the community in his responsible
position; and we further
Resolre, That the clerk be instructed to

WHAT IS THE REASON?

! Why is it that when any one city of
the Hills advertises its resources and
tries to inform the outside world as to its
surroundings, some other town will con-
tradiot the statements made and ridicule
its efforts to secure recognition? Tt is,a,
notorious fact that certain cities Of the
Black Hills are always waging, war upon,
each other. One cannot make move
in any direction but the other becomes
instantly engaged in tearing down what
the first is trying strenuously to up
build, and vice versa. This should be
stopped; it must be, stopped. If the
Black Hills has not room. enough for
half dozen large Cities. il has not for
one. If the Black Hills, cannot support
a half dozen cities, it cannot one. IF
they can support SO many towns, there
is surely no danger Of any one Of those
corporations suffering in population,
wealth or influence by the upbuilding of
another. The influences increasing one,
work 10 the advantage of all, and those
people engaged in performing the dog in
the manager act will please take notice
that the quicker they stop their idiotic
work the sooner their services to the peo-
pie will be appreciated.

A POINTER TO sTURGIs VOTERS.

Our newly elected city council has is
sued call for an election on the matter
of the incorporation of our town as a
city under the general laws of the terri
tory.
If this proposition carries at the polls,
as it ought and undoubtedly will,
another election will be necessary for
the purpose of electing a mayor, six
aldermen-two from each ward-a city
attorney, police JUSTICE. and other city
officers with the exception Of q marshal
It is essential that every citizen should
carefully consider who is fit for the posi-
tions of mayor and aldermen, as under
the new organization vast amount of
work will have to be done that is of i'm
mense Importance to the city. AS it, at
present, is hard to tell who is in the
field for these offices, and as conse-
quence the majority of the voters are at
sea concerning the future candidates,
The ADVERTISER would suggest to the
citizens that they be not too fast in
supporting candidate who may ask for
their favors before they know who is
likely to be in the field. In great
many instances voter might promise to
support, or vote, for candidate now,
when later on more available and sat-
isfactory man might be mentioned for
the same office. OF course, after having
promised support, one would be in
honor bound to give it, however dis
tasteful it might be to the voter there
after. Let the voters remember this and
govern themselves accordingly.
