ficers have never read the law, as they were
entirely ignorant of its provisions whereby
a district can draw money from the town
treasury under certain circumstances.
1t seems impossible to convince a large
number of people that any desirable pro
gress has been made under the present law,
but to those competent and willing to ex-
anime into the facts, whether in the state
or out, it is evident that more of good has
been accomplished during the past year
than for long time previous to the enact,
ment of our law. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that Vermont will not be blind to her best
interests, nor IN her anxiety to curtail eX-
penses, cripple her most important work
and save nothing in so doing, and that she
will not by any act contrary to tie spirit or
the nineteenth century, make herself the
laughing stock and by-word of her sister
states.

1t was generally acknowledged, previous

our common schools were not an honor to

left to the judgment of men best acquainted
with educational matters to determine and
report as to what that something should be,
This was according to the principles OF
sound policy, for no one can judge OF the
needs of a profession or trade so well as
those practically acquainted with its work
ings. After the acceptance of this report
and the adoption of its main features as a
law, it was almost Immediately discovered
that it had fallen into the hands OF those
who intended to make it amount to some
thing if possible. and hue and cry arose at

result of thoughtful and careful inveStlga-

senatorial election. had expected to sue
coed you. still think if had lived on the
right side of the mountain the result would
| have been different AS it was, it was a
close thing, though you had a very fair vote
in the house. l observe that your majority
In the senate was only twenty-elght which
was only very narrow margin. But now
that the heat and excitement of the contest
are over, candOr cOmpelS me to admit that
the result is for the best. 1t is much better
that you'd should be senator than |. 1t is
a great credit to our state and to your party
that they should have done themselves the
honor to retain in that high Office one who
has served them so long and with so much
usefulness and distinction. May your life
and health long be spared to continue that
service. You will be glad to hear that
now retire from the field and at the next
electlon shall not run against you. l hope
that protracted service has not affected you
unfavOrably. Believe me, dear Mr.. Morrill,

STAMFORD, VI, Oct Is, 1890.
MY Dear Mr.. Phelps Your esteemed
and witty favor of the 10th instant, has
been received. Considering the strategy
and deep-laid plot for my defeat, the re-
election was marvel. Some astute demo-
Gratis circulated the splendid fiction that the
vote would be unanimous and without OPP
position. l had at no time sought support
in any quarter, and my friends, indu1ging
in the dream that no vigilence was neces-
sary, when the name of the best-equipped
man In the country came out as combat
ant against me, were as suddenly SURPRISED
as were the FlOrentine soldiers bathing An
the river ArnO by the assault of the enemy.
ArmOrless and sedentary as were my
friends, the flank attack from the other side
of the mountain looked dangerous, and
finally the contest turned in my favor only
for the reason that you and were both alb
SENT so that you derived no benefit from a
personal contrast. | am delighted with
your promise not to run against me at the
next electiOnnand with equal fOrbearance,
though quite ambitious myself of the honor,
l shall not appear in the field when you
are re-appOinted ambassador to the court
OF London. Be assured that the era of good
feeling has not been disturbed between us,
though you must pardon me some addition

petitor.

Mississippi. Senators Vance of North
Carolina, Pasco of Florida, Vest of Mis-
souri,, and Messrs. w NJ Fishbaok OF
Arkansas, Ira P. Jones of Tennessee, G.
s. Long of West Virginia and B. J.
Sage of Louisiana have collect
lively written and will soon publish
q book entitled: "Why the Solid
South; or the reconstruction and its re-
suits. - II undertakes to narrate fairly
and dispsssiOnately, in concise and pOpu-
lar form, the history of the reconstruct
ed governments in each state, showing
how Republicans obtained control, and
how they lost it; the figures and facts as
to shrinkage of values and increase OF
debt and taxation under these
governments, and the prosperi-
~ of the South under the present
auspices. The book speaks Of the death
of Abraham Lincoln as an appalling ca
lsmity to the South, argues that Andrew
Johnson followed strictly Lincoln 8 plan
of restoration, and contends that if Lin
coin had lived he would have been able
TO defend that plan against the assaults
of congress. Each chapter is signed by
its author, who thus becomes directly re-
sponsible for the truth of his statements;
and the claim of the book in its pre-
face written by Gen. Herbert,
its EDITOR, is that in
all the chapters the facts. are under
stated rather than overstated. The race
question and race troubles are extern
sively discussed. The statement is
made that there is no intention to agitate
for a repeal of the fifteenth amendment
or the deportation of the negro. -Educa-
tiOnal and material statistics of many
kinds are given in support of the conten-
ton that the negro is prospecting and that
the South is solving for itself the negro
question. The book is dedicated to the
business men of the North, with state
ment that they are interested in the con-
tinued prosperity of the South.
