We rezently had short article
from Ccnnty Supt. Stone relative to
the attempt of certain agent, who
was selling a chart in this county,
to force the sale under the pre-
tended recommend of State Supt.
Palmer and other school officials.
Supt. Palmer is out with an article
similar to the one published from
Mr.. Stone. Look out for all agents
who are using fraudulent means to
introduce their books, charts, OF any
thing else.

than most of his contemporaries
among the native Southerners. To
be sure his progress as compared
with that of Mr.. George w. Cable
seems slow, bnt the circumstances
surrounding Mr.. Cable were more
favorable to the abandonment of
effete ideas.
In all estimates of Mr.. Grady it
should be borne in mind that he was
sincere and high-minded.-Iete-

New York has raised her quadren-
NAL fair fund to something over five
and quarter millions and is now
rather resting for the state legislature
and congress to act. This fund far
exceeds the amount raised in Chicago
or elsewhere but there is no use in
guessing even where the fair, if one
is to be held, will be located. Inas-
much as 1892 is presidential year,
and the fair would furnish a grand
opportunity for missionary work and
patronage, the question will become
largely political before it is settled.

The present congress is to be a
working one, as far as the republican
majority are able to make it such.
An evidence of this is shown in the
fact that the Ways and Means Com
mittee began to give hearings to
interests likely to be affected by a
ia If bill on the 26th inst, the day
after Christmas, the time which pub
lie officials generally take to COM
plete the digestion of their Christmas
turkey. The first day will be given
to metals, ores and coal. Sugar,
chemicals, earthen and glass ware,
wool, manufacturers of wool, flax,
hemp, jute and cotton goods. silk
tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes,
provisions and farm products, sund-
ries and wooden ware, books and
paper will follow in their order
This is radical change from that
followed by the Free Trade promot-
ers of the Mills bill, who refused to
hear the representatives of the great
interests of the country which were
to be affected by the proposed tariff
change.

What a great and far-reaching in
fiuence is exercised by the weather,
especially if it departs from its usual
course for protracted period. Who,
for instance, has for a moment real
lied that the mild, warm air of the
past few weeks, the calm, almost
summer days that have so charming
ly Wooed smile from the frowning
face of bleak December this year, are
nevertheless fraught with suffering
for thousands and constitute great
calamity. In the anthracite regions
of Pennsylvania, work is SO scarce
and business is so dull because of
the slight demand for coal caused by
the mild winter, that the poor miners,

President Harrison has transmit
ted to the senate the new extradition
treaty with England, negotiated by
Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian
Pauncefort, the British minister. By
its terms the number of extraditable
offences is largely increased, the
most important addition being that
of embezzlement, so that if the
treaty be ratified, Canada and the
United States will cease to exchange
a class of undesirable residents, who
have hitherto secured immunity from
punishment.

How TO BEGIN THE New YEAR
The prompt payment Of small debts
is a text from which many a sermon
has been preached by laymen, and
not infrequently the pulpit elaborate
ly touches upon this evil. The sea-
son of the year has come when there
is settling of accounts. Bills which
are long overdue rise up to many like
so many ghosts. 1t is twice as hard
to see your money going out for a
luxury which you have almost for
gotten as to pay for a debt recently
incurred. The best way to avoid
this unpleasant feeling is to pay
promptly. The habit of allowing
small bills to remain unpaid is, in too
many cases, to be attributed to a
habit of postponing the day of set
tlement; and some of the wealthiest
in every community have the bad
reputation of making their creditors
earn their money twice before they
will draw a check. The best way to
close the year is to get ready to meet
your obligations promptly the first
week in January, 1S90.-Journdl.

Secretary of War Proctor was
hanged in effigy at Aberdeen, Missis-
sippi, because he took no official
action in recognition of the death of
Jefferson Davis. A young man from
Indiana, who cut the effigy down was
publicly hOrsewhipped for so doing.
This will offset the very foolish criti-
cism of the sectetary's action made
by a republican paper. The fact of
it is there has hardly been an act by
any official of the present administra-
ton that has been more heartily ap-
proved by press and people, North
and South, than Secretary Proctor's
letter to the mayor of New Orleans.

The Special School Textbook
Committee, appointed last September
by the County Boards of Education
to confer in relation to securing state
uniformity in textbooks, and to
recommend list to be adopted for
the next five years, has voted in
frvor of state uniformity. The sew
eral subcommittee upon each
branch of study were represented as
follows: Arithmetic, E. w. Howe
of North Bennington, M. S. Stone
of Westfield readers, A. E Leav-
enworth of Castleton, J. S. Cilley of
jericho; grammar, Ezra Brainerd of
Middlebury, II. w. Marvin of AL
burgh; geography, I'll. Elmer Wheel
er of ST. Adams, M. S. Hazen of

III. Taylor of Hardwick, Alpha Mes
ser of Rochester spoilers, j. n.
Mallory of Thetford, f. w. Stod-
dard of Brattleboro' history and
civil government, j. Andrews of
Island Pond. The various commit
tees made their reports to the full
board, and the text books recon-
mended by them were in most in
stances unanimously adopted. The
Text Book Committee voted to
recommend the books selected by
the subcommittee to the several
county boards for adoption, and it is
probable that some of the textbooks
recommended will be adopted by
nearly all, if not all, the County
Boards of Education in the State.

people handling monev-a blessed

to be a very old acquaintance, dating
from the fourteenth century, but
fortunately its visits are few and far
between; making its appearance in
periods of thirty to fifty years. Its
last appearance in this country is
said to have been in 1913, soon after
the death of the grandfather of the
present president. 1t is said to
differ from ordinary colds in the
head with pains in the limbs, by the
fact that it is catching. Those af-
flicted with it have a head cold ac-
companied in many instances by high
fever, but it passes away as sudden
ly as it comes. The best way is to
take it easy and let it run its course.

tits the practice of the Louisiana

distribution of prizes, alleged to have
been drawn by lot, and, in the course

the strength of its gambling constit-
uency, this city has been paid visit.
Th.sfall of large prize to the sup
posed lot of one resident has been fol-
lowed by the establishment of tick
ct agency here, and this last act has
naturally been followed by the draw
ing of another large prize by another
resident. More than $1,000 week
is said to be collected by this local
agency which the authorities should
hunt up and drive out of town. Bos-
ton was 'worked" in the same man.

portions that steps were recently TAX

The Springfield Correspondent of
the Windsor Journal makes this
good point SO large an amount of
loose capital has been sent from this
town to Fort Payne, and similar
points, it is said it would be difficult
to raise $50 with the best of security.
Owners of real estate in Vermont
who invest south and west ought to
calculate clearly if the income of
their investment will correspond with
the depreciation of their property
here, and make it good, caused by
drawing from this section it's busi-
ness capital, or they may find them
selves losing money before they are
aware of it,.
Hayti is again the centre of dis
quieting rumors. It is affirmed that
ex-President Legitime has returned
from France and is in Jamaca, pre-
pairing to lead rebellion against
President Hypolite. The latter's
opponents are said to consist for the
most part of merchants, who wish
France rather than the United states
to establish coaling- station at st.
Nicholas Mole. The condition of
the Haytians generally has so greatly
improved during the short period of
peace that a fresh revolutionary
movement would not be likely to
meet with popular approval. What
Hayti needs above all things is per-
manent peace, but hardly anywhere
else in the world is the future more
uncertain.
