WOMAN AND POLITICS.

A citizen of Oskaloosa, Kan, which is
run entirely by women, says to the New
York Tribune that the fair voters will,
on occasion, cheat just as badly as they
will in croquet "Why doesn't some one
prevent themT' he was asked. "Whatrn
was the reply, challenge a woman's
vote? l guess not; the man who did it
would be run out of town." A cores
pondent who visited Oskaloosa the other
day went to the city hall. He saw a
pleasant faced man in the mayors office
writing. rs the Mayor imp he asked.
NO" was the reply, 'she is home to-
day. l am her husband and am doing
her work; can l do anything for your
The success of female government in
these CT les is at present somewhat prob
lematical. Severe critics say that the
average wOman's vote is influenced by
the cut of candidates whifkers more
than by his principles. But this is prob
ably libel. 1t certainly is if the candi
date is woman.-IFOy Times.
Whenever women generally vote, II
they ever do, the delusion that the fe
male sex is morally better than the other
will vanish. In one of the worst wards
in Boston, at a school election not Ions
ago, the candidate for the school boart
who was supported by the best men ant
women in the ward, was beaten by the
worst. The women from the slum'
rallied at the behest of their male com
panions and won the election. In thu
South the rebel women were the last t.
give in to the victorious armies of thu
North, and were and still are, the mos
bitter enemies of the Union. The wo
men of Paris, in the days of the Com
mune, were the most inhuman of all.
The truth is, and the sooner it is &C
cepted the better, woman is neithe
better nor worse than a man except a
circumstances make her so. Morally
the two sexes with the same environ
ment continued through many genera
tinnS are the same.

DUTCH, SWISS AND HEAIHEN.

1t would seem that nothing could pos
sibly be proposed or imagined to pro-
mote the prosperity of Vermont that
would not meet with indignant DIRECTORS.
While thousands of our people mourn
the depletion of our industrial popula-
ton by the booming of other sections,
many of the same thousands are shocked
out of their propriety at the idea of
"booming'' Vermont. Yet few of the
'boomed' States will better bear prais-
inc than ours. There is small doubt that
the people of our State will justify all the
praise which is accorded to them by out
siderS: but it certainly cannot be placed
to our credit when even few of us re-
fuse like justice and courtesy to the
rest of mankind. One New England
journal lately objected to importing
dutch and Swiss immigrants" on the
ground that they live in fiat country,
and could not stand the roughness of the
Green Mountain scenery. That might
be the case with the Dutch, but we guess
the Swiss would regard Vermont as too
flat altogether compared with their ma
tive land. But of all epithets applied to
the people of Protestant Europe, that of
"Heathen,n which we find in an address
in our last Dairymen's Report, by the
president of our Dairymen's Association,
is certainly the most remarkable.-Dr.
HoSkinS in Montpelier Wdtchmdn.
If the President of a State Society

preparations, shall have been found tc

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

There are those who believe that only
by the exercise of brute force on the part
of the teacher can the school be governed.
To such we commend the following from
a recent report of the Superintendent of
the public schools of Boston:
1t seems that more serious thought and
effort have been applied to this matter
than had been usual before. The result
appears in the greatly reduced whipping
score as reported from month to month
In the five months beginning with the
present school year, September, 1899, as
compared with the record of the CORE
spending five months beginning with
September, 1888, the number of cases of
corporal punishment has fallen off in the
grammar schools from 6251 to ALAG, re-
duction of one-third, and in the primary
school from 3l63 to 1853, reduction OF
considerably over one half.
One district has never had any corporal
punishment, and there are now two more
districts from which that mode of disci-
pline has disappeared.
There are good reasons for expecting a
still more favorable showing next year.
The masters are taking up the matter OF
discipline in good earnest. One has been
showing his primary teachers when to
whip and when not, with the result that
now fewer punishments are given in the
whole district than formerly were given
in single room.
Indeed, the view is perhaps gaining
wider acceptance that our school punish
ments should be, not measures of retrib
utive justice-sO much transgression sc
much punishment-but measures of pre-
ventiOn sometimes necessary to establish
authority or preserve good order. The
teacher who whips for gum-chewing is
beginning to ask whether he is not abus
ing the means of discipline placed in his
hands for larger purposes.
The masters efforts to improve modes
of discipline are sometimes seriously OBJ
structed by the presence in their schools
of teachers who depend on corporal pun
ishment-whose only sure support in dis
cipline is the rod. In proportion as the
schools are relieved of incompetent
teachers, in that proportion will corpora
punishment disappear.
The recent action of the school com
mittee in requiring records of corpora
punishment to be preserved in each in
dividual case now, for the first time, af
fords the means of discovering in eacl
school just who the teachers are who
thus fall under the presumption of infe
rior teaching and governing capacity.
Before leaving this topic it may be wei
to speak of two measures which havt
been proposed for relieving the teachers
in part from the burdens of discipline
which are always CALLING and sometimes
too great for the strength of even tn,
most competent female teachers.
The Superintendent suggests as rem
edy the establishing of disciplinary
schools and parental schools, where pu
pills may be reformed without coming il
contact with those who are morally gooC
and do not require restraint.

VERMONT POLITICS.

Col Forbes in the Boston journal
SAYS: 1.-THE Democratic State Conven-
ton of 1890, to be held in Burlington,
Nav both, will be one of the earliest con-
venhons ever held by the party in year
when there has been no Presidential
election. Vermont is one of the few
States in the Union that votes before
November, and the September election
in this State this year is invested with
more than ordinary interest. There are
several State issues to be passed upon by
the voters and Legislature is to be
elected which will choose United States
Senator to succeed Senator Justin S.
Morrill,. OF course Senator Morrill, will
be his own successor, and he will UNI
doubleday be reelected by a unanimous
vote.
1.-THE question of economy and re-
trenchment in State expenses is not a
party question, but the issue of high
license VS. prohibition is likely to enter
into the canvass, to some extent. The
Democratic State Convention will con-
sist of some 600 delegates and the party
nominee for Governor will doubtless be
Hon. Herbert +. Brigham of Bakersfield,
member of the State Committee and
lately United States Commercial Agent
at Stanbridge, p. O., under the Cleve-
land Administration. The candidate for
Lieutenant Governor is likely TO be Hon.
George w. Smith of White River juno
| ton, a prominent manufacturer of that
place. The Convention will go through
the form of placing full State and Con
gressional ticket in the field and will in
dorse Cleveland for President in 1892.
1.-THE Republican State Committee will
soon be called together by Chairman Car.
roll S. Page to select time and place for
holding the State Convention of the par
ty Montpelier will probably be selected
as the place, and the time somewhere be-
tween the first and twentieth of June.
The third party has not materialiZed as
vet in Vermont. The sentiment among
the Republicans of Vermont is very
strong in favor of ballot reform, and the
Australian system Of voting is generally
approved by the Republican press Of the
State. The multiplicity of candidates
among the Republicans for the various
State offices makes the ante-cOnventiOn
campaign an interestin one. The race
for the Governorship between Hon. q. S.
Page and Col. u. A. Woodbury. is very
close at the present time. and neither one
seems to have any decided advantage
over the other. The district conventions
will probably be held several weeks later
4 than the State Convention. The friends
of Judge Powers and Hon. j. X. Batch
elder are working hard for their favorites
i'm the first District, and the contest in
the Second District between Congress-
man Grout and Col. George w. Hooker
is waxing warm. Altogether, it is likely
to be very lively year in Vermont poll
tics"

The argus and Patriot says: The
ruling rate of wages for farm hands in
the north and west part of Addison
county is SIT and SIS per month, the lat
ter being the outside price for the best
men. Many farmers are making an et-
fort to get along without hired help, for
they say that the prices of produce will
not warrant its employment The usu,
al deduction follows as to the good
times promised blythe return of the Re
publicans to power and the allegation, in
fercntially, that such will not be the case,
We remark that when the Swedes arrive
there will be at least one hundred, hon
est, capable, handwriting people resi-
dent of Vermont who will be anxious to
work for wages farmer can afford to
pay. The scarcity of farm help in the
east is what crowds wages up. The west
with its flood of immigration is not
troubled that way, and this is one reason
we cannot compete with that section.

BENNINGTON. VERMONT
Thursday Afternoon, April II, 1890.

A campaign SANDER is in circulation
in the northern part of the State regard
ing Mr.. Pages alleged fight to Canada
during the war to avoid the draft. The
matter has been most carefully investi-
gated by competent and unprejudiced
persons. Mr.. Page has given free access
for such investigation and it is shown
that there is no foundation for the charge.
Col. Woodbury. is not a party to any
such methods of campaign warfare.
Both gentlemen are honorable men, and
no man is friend to either who indulges
in campaign SANDER of the other, nor is
any newspaper of the State which retail'
such scandal as an established fact
credit to Vermont journalism. Such
paper is altogether too free press.

Cremation, it seems is not after all ex.

cording to what a friend of the system

comes popular.

When the Troy & Boston railroad was
consolidated with the Fitchburg an issue
of Fitchburg per cent. 20 year bonds
was made to retire Troy & Boston pei
cent. first mortgage bonds due in 1924;
Stock of the Fitchburg was also issued
to compensate for the difference in the
bonds. Some of the Troy q Boston
bondholders made the exchange but a
large number of the strongest holders
did not. Litigation ensued, and a de
cision of the Court of Appeals compels
the Fitchburg road to pay the I per cent
interest on the Troy & Boston bonds.
