Major Valentine, commissioner of
agricultural and mining interests in
Vermont, is forwarding to the listers
of the several towns blanks to be
filed out by them with statistics in
this particular line. The commits
sioner depends to great extent
upon the courtesy of the listers for
the information he desires; and as
most of these statistics come directly
within the province of the listers, it
is hoped the latter will respond
readily by filling out the blanks sent
them. The matters under consider
:ation by the commissioner are i'm
iportant to the state at large, and the
report he makes thereon to the next
Legislature will be made the basis of
action by that body.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
(sPECsAE CORRESPONDENCE 20
FEEE "kEERAED.")
" ashington, D. c., April /.

W ashington, d. c., April /.
The President isvery much vexed,
and most Republicans think he has
a good right to be, on account of
the Senate's rejection of the nomi-
nation of Murat Halstead, editor of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
to be minister to Germany. A few
Republican Senators, on account of
personal i'll will towards Mr.. Hal
stead, Joined the Democrats under
the lea lership of STANDARD dip
Payne, of OHIO, and succeeded in
bringing about this rejection Of the
appointment. 1t will be strange if
they do not all live to regret their
action. And it will be stranger still
if the Republican editors Of the
country DO not resent this attempt
on the part of certain Senators tc
establish Senatorial censorship OF
the press, for there is no use to
mlnce matters, that is just what tn {
rejection of Mr.. IiaIstead means.
He was not rejected because Of his
inability to fill the position to which
he was appointed with credit tc
himself, the Republican party and
the country, but because in the con
duct of his paper he has seen fit tc
express his honest convictions in its
editorial columns, Of certain things
affecting certain Senators, particu.
larry those who are generally believ,
ed to owe their seats to questionable
practices.
When the people Of this country
approve of the punishment of fear,
less editors like HaIstead, if such a
time shall ever come, the days Of a
Republican form Of Government in
the United States viii be numbered.
1t is to such men as he that the
masses always look to expose cor.
rnption in high places, and God for
bid that tie day shall ever conc
when they shall look in vain
Two Democratic Senators, Call
and Blackburn, voted for the confr.
nation of Mr. Halstcad, and Mr.
Blackburn made a strong speech in
favor Of it, but they could nctbrcak
the hold STANDARD Oil" Payne had
on their Democratic colleagues
The following Republicans vo ed
against Mr.. HalStead: Evarts, Ing
alls, Plumb and Teller. Senator,
Sanford, Stewart, Jones and Cul
lom did not vote at all although i
was openly stated that they would
have voted against confirmation haC
their votes been necessary to reject
The President has unoflicially no
titled the Senate that after tomor
row he should make no more nomi
nations for the present, 50 that tn,
adjournment will certainly tax,
place this week.

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.
Answers to Some Practical Questions
by the State superintendent.


To the Editor of Free Press.
In answer to many letters from
all parts of the State it seems to me
that the following is a correct in
depreciation Of the new school law
in relation to the questionsinvolved
l. Section 90 requires notices of
school meeting to be posted up in
two of the most public places in the
district. Clearly, unless thissection
is complied with, school meeting
is illegal, and also every thing done
in consequence Of it,-as the hiring
of teachers, raising of money, etc.
2. A school district clerk can not
legally warn meeting, except the
annual meeting, unless it is applied
for in writing by three voters of the
district. Section 80.
3. The public money cannot be
divided until July; for the new law,
section 233, expressly declares that
the selectmen shall divide the school
moneys "betwcen the third and
sixth days Of July" and chapter 80,
(section 6Gl) of the revised laws, bv
which division could formelv be
made in March, is repealed.
4. The attendance of this spring
term must be reckoncd with the
attendance of last year in the dlvi-
sion of the public money; because
section 235 provides that the money
shall be divided Gin proportion to
the aggregate attendance = s.
during the preceding school year."
and section 285 provides that "the
school year." commencing on April
LIST, 1888, "shall be held to continue
and expire" on June 30, 1889.
5. 1t is evidently the intent Of the
law, that each district shall support
school during the coming spring;
for section 2S6 provides that the
superintendent Of education shall
distribute supplemental registers to
record "the attendance of pupils to
the end of the school year." and the
registers have been distributed for
that purpose.

The Slice DC Loatler Reporter, N. Y,

Hurrah for the Arkansas Pass.

Mr.. Ed Rotau and Mr.. j. w. Mann
have just returned from San Antonio
whore they had pleasant interview
with Mr.. B. +. Yoakum, general man.
ager Of the Arkansas Pass railroad. The
result Of the interview was such as to
set at rest flying rumors Of changes Of
plans, and destination of that road.
The company is pushing this way as
rapidly as possible. Eight miles con.
tract this side Of the Colorado is let
and being graded, the iron bridge at
West Point will soon be completed
and in very short time the force now
on the Houston Extention will soon be
transferred to the Waco Extension
when work will progress rapidly. An
extension Of the time in which the
road is to reach Waco will be necessa.
ry as it was in the case Of the Austin
road, but that will, no doubt, be con.
ceded and before the close of the year
the music Of the engines of the Aran.
sas Pass will be heard in Waco.

Announcement.

Acceding to the demands Of many
Of their country friends the pro-
prietors of the NEWS have determined
to issue in a few days the first number
Of the WACO WEEKLY STooK AND
FARM NEWS. While it will be q
newspaper, it will devote special at
tention to matters Of interest to farm
ers and stockraisers. 1t will be a five
column, eight page sheet, and will aim
to be just such a paper as will meet
the wants of the country farmers
home.
By an arrangement with Capt. j. E.
Elgin, the STocK AND FARM News
has secured the subscription list Of the
Weekly Examiner, and hence will start
with a large bone fide subscription list.
This fact is sufficient to establish its
value as AN advertising medium.
All subscribers to the Weekly Ex-
aminer, whose subscriptions had not
expired at the suspension Of that
paper will receive the STOCK AND
FARM NEWS for the time they had
paid.
The subscription will be set at
the remarkably low rate Of 30 cents
per year, thus placing it within easy
reach Of every home in the country.

An Appeal for the oonfederates.

An Appeal for the Oonfederates.
Editor Of the NEWS;
On decoration day tomorrow the
public will be in liberal and patriotic
mood, and think it will be an appro-
pirate. time to make suggestion in aid
Of the Confederate Home at Austin.
The institution is reported to be in
destitute condition; in fact, is about
to collapse. This was the cause Of
Major Joe Stewards visit to the north
to get help for it. The press and the
Southern people generally condemned
that course and said for him to come
home, saying Texas was abundsntly
able and willing to care for her dis.
abled old soldiers. Therefore it is es'
pecially incumbent upon us now to help
this worthy institution at once.
My comrades, Capt Bogges and Z.
J. Parent, have just returned from
Austin and said they visited the Home
and that the old veterans would gladly
receive any contributions OF provisions
clothing furniture, medicines, and 9th
er things that they need besides mon
lev. Now, l believe the merchants ant
citizens Of Waco could readily
make up a car load Of supplies
for this purpose II some one would take
it in hand and call upon them. II they
will and will send their contribution

Alexandra on Kitchens.

How often we hear this expression,
"any place will do for the Kitchen.
Now, I think that idea is all wrong,
for some one be it wife, daughter or
servant, must stay there the greater
part Of the day, so why not make 1t as
attractive as possible? The lighter,
the brighter, the more comforts and
conveniences You have in the kitchen,
the less irksome and disagreeable the
work will appear and the kitchen will
be less avoided and dreaded. Our sur.
roundings have so much to do with our
tempers, for bad temper is not always
constitutional. have known persons
get eighty per cent. better tempered
by simply taking them out Of dark,
gloomy, comfortless kitchen into a
brighter, cheerful dining room and
showing them samples Of my goods
common place though they are. 1 care
not how good or how sweet tempered q
girl may be, if obliged to work month
after month in badly lighted, dreary
looking kitchen, opening, as SO many
do, into some miserable back lot, she
will weary Of it, get cross and leave it
on the slightest pietext and then we
will hear it said as did twice last
week, at is impossible to get good
servants at any price"
Do not plant all the flowers in the
font garden. spare few to the back
yard where so much time is spent and
so little done to beautify-spend lit
tie less on the grand front room and a
little moro where most people have to
be SO much Of the day. 1 remember
we'll the kitchen Of my boyhood; it
opened on a lawn with flowers and
vines so near that you could reach them
from the windows, but do not re.

The great charm Of living in Europe
can be traced in measure to the com
petent contented servants that are sc
easily obtained there, but they are moi

that are neither wind, dust, snow OIL

to our comfort that they demand and
