Closing Exercises or Tie EipgWOOd
Academy.
This week is a holiday week, rs
there IL no school, Che regular
term Of The Kngwood Graded
School having closed last Friday.
In the forenoon some actual school
work was engaged in that was very
creditabIe both 60 the teacher and
to the pupils. The afternoon was
devoted to speeches and literary ex-
crcises. The three departments
were all gathered in the Principal
Room, where large audience as
semblcd to witness the performances
all Of which were good and some Of
them deserving OF special mention,
il our space would permit The
readings and recitations were well
recitcd and the dialogues and coml
edies were received with great APP
plause. But very little preparation
had been made for this part Of the
closing exercise. most OF the time
being devoted to school work, but
still the performances showed careful
training and reflect great credit on
the teachers. Judge Uokc, Col.
Monroe, Ey Senator Dawson, Dr.
Trippot, and Editor Burke made
short speeches pertinent to tho oc.
casion and spoke in tho highest
terms Of the work OF the teachers
and the progress Of the pupils.
Prof. Showalter and Miss Clark re-.
spondod in short addresses and the
1SS9--90 term OF the school OF the
Kingwood Academy closed. IN the
Academic department two valuable
prizes were awarded by the Princi-
pal, ono Tor excellence in spelling
and one for good department. The
former, an elegant copy Of Danto's
Inferno, illustrated by Gustayc
bore, wos won by Miss Mira Watson
while Mr.Am Fverly received Three
copies Of Nacaulcy's Essays, Poems
etc. for good behavior. The most
remarkable thing about the present

ISSUE FOR NINETY-TWO.

The senators, or eighteen of them,
responded nobly to the frantic clamor
of the Free Press and the Burlington
educational lobby and gave its
quietus to the separate agricultural
college bill, which had passed the
House by a vote of more than two
to one. The total joint vote of both
houses in favor of the bill was 1874 :;
opposed to it, 50. These eighteen
senator's have therefore the cold
satisfaction of having defeated the
will of this large majority. Their
course in so doing will undoubtedly
be remembered by the people of the
state, who have been thoroughly in
earnest in favoring the measure. The
Californian expressed its belief some
weeks ago that if defeated this year
the separate agricultural college
would become a distinct issue two
years from now This we believe is
true and the men who defeated the
measure will not be forgotten.

CHIEF JUSTICE ROSS.

The state, as well as his own town,
has reason to give thanks that the
Legislature did not commit the injus
tice of displacing Judge Ross from
the supreme bench and of making
him the scapegoat for a practice
which has been engaged in extern
sively by his judicial colleagues as
well as by him. Judge Ross has
been faithful and impartial Judge;
his long experience on the bench has
given him a liberal store of knOwl-
edge of Vermont law and cases; and
the unsolicited testimony of those
who know his judicial qualities best,
the members of the Caledonia and
Essex county bars, is sufficient evil
dence of the high estimation in which
he is held by those best qualified to
Judge him. The CaledOnian congrat-
ulates the state and Judge Ross on
his election to the high office of chief
Justice

THE RAILROAD CONFUSION.

The Governor has made up good
railroad mmission-whether it will
be more useful than past commits
sions remains to be seen. Ex-Gov.
Pingree is the lawyer and expert
enced member of the board. Amory
Dawson of Craftsbury is a strong
man and a good representative of the
people at large, and especially of the
agricultural interest of the state In
putting on the board a man of this
calibre and a farmer Gov. Page has
done what the people wished and ex
pected him to do. Leon G. Bagley of
Rutland is a brother of c. H. Bagley
of this town and is well and favora-
bly, known here, where he was for
merly telegraph operator and ticket
agent He is a bright, energetic
young man, practical enough to be
of much service on the board.
Now let the new commissioners
stir up the dry bones and demonstrate
the usefulness of a railroad commits
sion in Vermont.

disappointing.

AS the work of the Vermont Legis-
lature of 1890 draws to a close, it
begins to look disappointing to the
people who in the face of the promises
made them, both before and after
the election, had been led to look for
more and larger and better things of
the so-called reform Legislature of
1890, than the Legislature has APP
peared capable of doing. Not only
has the Legislature not risen to any
lofty heights, it has failed even to
keep in step with the demands of the
people and the spirit of progress, and
has thus permitted the state to
retrograde instead of urging it on
ward and upward, as it was expected
would be done. The bills that were
indica tive of progress, and a DISPOSE
ton to keep in with the procession,
such as the weekly payment bill, the
worlds fair bill and others were
killed and all the people thus far have
to show for the expense they have
been to in sustaining this august
body at Montpelier, is a lot of petty
acts, that could just as well have
been kept over to some future SEES
sion-[ Fair Haven Era.
