Sons Of the Revolution,

We called attention short time ago
to this society and urged that lite pro-
posed meeting here be met with prompt
response from the fifty or more eligible
to membership. But by the following
it appears that Burlington has borne off
the prize this year. the call explains
the proposed annual meeting:
ST. ALBANs, VT, Aug, l. 1889. The
first annual meeting of the Vermont 60
ciety CT the Sons OF the Revolution
Green Mountain Boys" will be held at
the Van Ness House, Burlington, W.,
Aug, 10, 1889, at o'clock p. M, the
eve of the anniversary of the battle of
Bennington. This being the first annu-
al meeting, q full attendance is especi-
ally desired, as officers for the ensuing
year are to be elected, the organization
perfected and other important business
transacted. The annual banquet OF the
society will take place at the Van Ness
House Immediately after the business
meeting. The purpose OF the society IS
to keep alive among ourselves and our
descendants the patriotic spirit OF the
men who in military, naval or civil SER
vice, by their acts or counsel achieved
American independence, to collect and
secure for preservation the manuscript
rolls, records and other documents relat-
ing to the war of the revolution, and to
promote social intercourse and good
feeling among its members now and
hereafter. The Vermont society was
formed at the State house, Montpelier,
April 2. 1889, aud already has a good
membership. Similar societies have
siuce been formed 10 a number of other
states and in France. A national 80
ciety has also recently been organized.
Believing that the spirit which animated
the Green Mountain Boys of rs inspires
their descendants today, we conf
dent that it is only necessary TO issue
call for a meeting OF this char cter to
secure a large attendance OF those de-
scendants from ancestors, who, either
as military or naval offices, soldiers, or
sailors, or as officials in the service OF
any one of the 10 original colonies or
states, or Of the independent site OF
Vermont, assisted ia establishing Anleri-
can independence during the war OF the
revolution"
The Central Vermont aud Bennington
& Rutland railroads will transport
members attending this meeting for fare

Wages and Labor.

The ST.. Paul Pioneer Press thinks the
apprentice question will not wait much
longer for hearing. The right to earn
a living by honest labor is as funda-
mental as sny right can be. But when
the trades are hedged about with rules
which limit the number of apprentices
when the lists are complete and when
the ranks of unskilled labor are full,
then the surplus boys are ordered of
the earth. There is no place for them
and their only possible chance for ex-
istence is in begging or crime. When
the trades unions set up their rules
limiting the number of apprentices to
be taught their trades in any shop, they
did it for the purpose of preventing the
market from being overstocked with
skilled labor and the consequent re-
duction of wages from an oversupply.
But the rule had no such effects. Il has
notl lessened whit the number Of
skilled workingmen. What it has done
and all it has done has been to prevent
the sons of Americans, native and adopt
ed, from learning their fathers trades.
II has been the inevitable result OF fore
ing our men, who might be earning
from SIS to $50 per week as skilled ar
tisans, to accept salaries of from IS to
$40 as clerks, statesmen or book-keepers
or, worse than that, to compel them to
live hand-to-mouth sort Of life, doing
anything or nothing, as their lack Of
training TO any sort of work rendered
imperative. Our workshops have not
fewer mechanics in them than If there
never had been a rule against APP
prentices. There was the demand for
skilled workmen, and there being not q
sufficient supply here, our employers
readily got it from abroad. They are
constantly getting skilled workmen
from over the sea, who come here and
take the place which the sons of our
workmen should be permitted to take
should, indeed, be welcomed 10. That
our streets are so full Of idle, vicious
young and middle-aged men is chiefly
due to the extinction Of the apprentices
in our workshops. -Scientif Ameri-

outcome of the last special meeting. vot-
ing TO dismiss and adjourn without try
ing the question as to whether they
would procure their children taught in
the graded schools. The growing sentI-
ment in favor of the graded system of
schools, with the low price offered, will
compel them to do better by their child
rem than they have been doing, as the
oppos;tion to the plan Of sending to the
Graded schools was engineer ed by par
ties not having educ -tional interests at
heart. And as some of whom acknowl
edge to parties in the district, they
worked to defeat it as personal matte,
to spite certain Individuals, it gives good
ground for the p opIe on the "dtts" Of
that district to apply to The Legislature
for annexation to The Graded school dis
trict. Nearly every family having child
rem to send to school were, and are in
favor of the change, and it is probable
that they will be quite uneasy under the
yoke put on them-for they will both be
called upon for taxes to support the
school in the district, and to pay tuition
to schools where the children will be
properly instructed. The outcome of
this probably will result in a movement
at the next legislature 10 annex the
wealthiest part of school district No. 7
to the Bennington Graded school district.

Reference to another item and to the
large bills show that for the coming Six.
teenth of August, the local branch OF
this well known temperance society, has
arranged very fine programme. Especi.
ally is this true OF the plan for the spar
ring contest for 800, between William

Western Massachusetts, and Charles
Kroning of this town, champion of Yer
mont. Also, the wrestling match for
800 and the feather weight champion

mike" Caslin of our village. Both wrest.
lers have fine Record, which we give
10 this connection Thomas F. Telling
has had an experience OF five years. He
has won in contests with Grant Lane of
Barre, and Martin Dempsey of New
York, wrestled a draw with Tom.
Sweeney of Malboro Mass, and another
draw with Ralph Lord Of Boston. He
says he is ready to meet any man in
America under 1G0 pouns for $500. The
fret and only defeat he has met was a
contest at Nashua, N. H., with John
Ralph Of Franklin Falls in that state and
he weighed las pounds. feeling only
had one fall, however, and broke his
ankle after wrestling three hours. This
we should call a good record. Our
townsman (Caslin) has also fine show
ing. He has won in contests with the
following, some of whom are noted
enough to be called experts: Termien Of
Pittsford, Ben, Morris and Jim Sheridan
of Rutland, William Dooley, New Hamp-
shire. Joe. Cunning of Montreal, Pat
Develin, Thos. Sullivan, SteTe Myers of
Troy, N. Y. John Cronan of Hoosick
Falls, and Jimmie Carroll of Chicago.
Caslin has never been thrown. With
these two records before the mind, and
the fact that each champion puts up $50,
aside from the Father Matthew society
prize, there cannot fail to be great inter.
est felt in the contest. For full particu-
lars of the whole event the reader is re-
ferred to the large and small bills.
