Who SHAH Succeed Gen. Grout2

With no knowledge of Gen. Grout'
plans or no understanding between
himself or any of his friends as TO his
course in the coming campaign, we
believe that the Caledonian voices the
sentiments of his constituency in de-
claring that he should be his own sue
cessor as representative from the Sec
ond district. He has represented this
district for four terms in manner
highly creditable to himself and the
state. Though not brilliant speaker
he has proved himself something far
better-an indeiatigable worker for the
peoples interests. On the floor of Con-
gress. as a member Of important COM
miitees and as a servant of the public
IN various ways SO common 10 all con-
gressmen he has been tried and not
found wanting In the present Con-
gress he has been at the head of an
important committee. the District of
Columbia. and under his business-like
methods the work of that committee
has been disposed Of with unusual des-
patch. He has pursued an honorable
course in the patronage OF the Yer
mont offices. holding high regard for
the principles represented in civil SER
vice reform. Vermont has hitherto
her prestige in national at
fairs BY keeping hcrhonored and faith
Iul servants at the front. Let the vo-
ers of the Second district keep up the
'usIom and return Gen. Groui to Con-
yress for another term.
The above is from the Caledoniau.
{ voices our sentiments exactly. Gen.
trout can 10 the district more and bet
er service than any man that can le
amed against him. '

A young lady in Illinois recently hit
upon new device to make herself no.
torious and succeeded. she was good
looking, belonged TO a good family, was
somewhat of society fayorite, but for
some reason she had no .'fellers" The
situation seemed to worry her. She
entered into correspondence with her
self. and contrived TO make it appear
that she was tonnented by the atten-
tions of some party with whom She had
no affinity. One poor innocent was ar
rested. but somehow the letters did not
cease. At last she made arrangement
for her funeral and then event or in
grand tragedy ON one Of the public
of Joliet. where she re-
sided. She made sold sensation. Il
Is probable that a thousand people viii
learn Of her existence now where ouly
one would have been cognlzant oi IL
had she not adopted this novel mode of
departure. Was She crank, or did
She purpose to furnish the newspapers
with a sensations : In any case the lat
ter object was accomplished. Il Is to
be hoped that the young ladies Of the
country generally who fail TO secure the
attention they desire win not rashly
iepart out Of the world.

Text Books a gain.

IL is generally admitted as a fact that
when a party undertakes to meet argu-
ments and statements by calling names,
he has no ease. A correspondent OF
the Standard, who dares not sign his
name, begins an article pmporting to
be a reply to our first editorial on the
textbook question, by using such pleas
and and refined epithets as .centipede, I"
"donkey," ''blanketed sorehead, etc.
His article makes nearly column but
the only assertion he makes in il is that
our estimate Of SIS TO s16 for a family
as the cost of new textbooks was too
high. He does not attempt to prove
il is not too high. The Standard says
editOrially in the same issue that il will
cost the State 100000 to make the
change, while our estimate was much
less. The Boston Journal places the
cost at the Standards figures. As to
the nngentlemanly and malicious insin-
uation that we sold the use of our edit
orial columns to some publishing house
we need not say it is false in every par
ticular. This paper has not been in
any such business and does not propose
to engage in it. 1t is true that Mr..
Gerry, who does most Of the editorial
work, did not write that article, but
the owner of the HERALD has the right
to speak editorially when he pleases.
The trouble is the facts we presented in
that article are so true they cannot be
and the people have already
discovered it. II is true we took much
rouble to get all the information we
,ould in the matter, the same as this
would do were he a doe
or and had new disease to treat. He
would gather from reading all the in
he could and if not too con-
.eited consult with other doctors about
he case, especially if he regarded it as
IN important one. II he succeeded no {
ne would accuse him Of ''selling his G
lister" Many of the leading papers :

ion as ourselves, viz: that it is use

liberty to do under the provisions oi
said law. The new school books are
to be substituted for the old ones at the
beginning of the new school year, July
/. The list includes fifty-two different
text books, not one of these having
been selected by all the County Boards.
Eleven counties have selected Green
leafs New Complete Arithmetics, not
including Windsor county which adopts
Emerson This shows considerable
vitality in Greenleaf, which has all
ready been in use in our schools for
many years. Barnes History was a.

Windham and Windsor. Heaton's

sor and Rutland, and the Boards of
these two counties are respectfully re-
ferred TO the columns of the Burling-
ton Free Press for July !, 1889, for
some editying remarks on the general
character and worth of the book as
piece Of history. So the matter goes
through the whole list, no two heads
seeming 10 agree on any point. The
probable cost to the State supplying
our schools with these new text books
is set at 100000. They are to be
furnished each town through the Sec
rotary Of State ON estimates made up
by the several town clerks.

The death of Gen. Crook at Chicago
recently has created sensation in ar
my circles. lie was one of the most
efficient officers in the service, and had
specially distinguished himself as an
Indian fighter. He served in the civil
war aud was then stationed upon the
frontier. He fought the Indians with
remarkable success and at the same
time so gained their confidence that he
was called the Indians friend. Great
dependence was placed upon him in ne
gotiating treaties with the redskins. lie
believed in being strictly just with them
and this won their confidence. He won
their admiration by his valor. lie a.
dopted the Indians mode of fighting
and i'll this gained his successes. There
are some things in the way he was us
ed by the government that do not ap
pear to have been strictly just. 4 bet
ter understanding might make matters
seem clearer.

Closely following upon the death Of
Gen, Crook comes the announcement
Of the death Of Gen. Schenck. He had
pretty much passed out Of public notice
on account of his age, but he has had
long and distinguished public career.
lie served efficiently in the Civil War,
bore prominent part in the negotiation
of treaties with South American repub-
lies, was minister 10 Brazil, and after
wards TO England, served on the Ala
bama claims commission, and rendered
much other service TO the country. He
gained little notoriety while minister
to England in connection with one of
our popular games. Some remarks of
a facetious character were made at the
time, but these are among the things
now forgotten. His death will cause
no disturbance in public affairs as he
had passed into .'innocuous desuetude."
