The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1890-10-17

THE death of Gen. w. w. Belknap, for
seven years secretary OF war under Grant,
recalls one of the saddest falls of American
politics. He was a most winning man, the
son of q soldier, Gen. W. G. Belknap, distin-
oujshed in three wars, 1912, the Seminole
and Mexican wars, and be himself made
splendid record In the civil war, entering n
major, coming out Encouragement, and doing
exceptionally good service at Shiloh ,Corinth,
yicksburg and In Sherman's march to the
sea. He was called to the head Of the war
department In October, 1869, and made ca
pable administrator. He was man whose
Generous, kindly impulses won friends every.
where, But suddenly, In 1876, his ruin came
like thunder clap. He was charged with
selling army post traderships for money. He
resigned as soon as the charges were
made, and attempted no defense. The
truth of the charges was concluslNely PROVED
before tie senate where articles OF impeach.
ment were presented, and he only escaped
impeachment on the ground that his resigna-
ton had placed him beyond the reach OF SUCH
action. His counsel, the late Matt Carpenter,
always asserted that it was not Belknap, but
his wife, who received the purchase money
for the suffers post, and that the secretary
knew nothing OF the matter until the charges
were sprung upon him, when he bore the
shame rather than expose the truth, at BIS
wife's expense. No proof of this has ever
been made public, but 1t is at least true, un.
doubiedly. that his wile's ambition to shine
socially. in circles where money was particu-
larly potent, and his weak but fend desire 10
crafty her, was the real cause Of the corrup-
ton. For the past IA years Gen. Belknap pas
lived very quietly. earning his living Dy the
practise of law. He is believed to have died
about midnight, Saturday night, on his re,
turn from card party. He was found dead
In bed Monday morning. Inflammation OF the
heart was the cause.

The State Agricultural College.

OSn of the storm centres of the present leg
jslature, and the chief rullying point OF th'
fast forming Farmers Leagues IN the state, y
the proposal for a new and independent col
| goiof agriculture and mechanics. Under the
bin which passed the last congress and the
ruling of the interior department with ref
ersnce to the act of 1887, the state VIII the
present year receive $54 ,130 from tho federal
government for the support of such college,
and In the next ten years Will receive an
amount gradually increasing from $4O,l3O to
S47,l3O. This. argue the advocates Of new
institution. will be amply sufficient to support
IN first class shape II the state will appro-
pirate say $4,000 for the buildings. Some
towns will give a good bonus enough to start
It in coed shape, for the sake of getting the
new institution, and the income hereafter,
every delar Of 1t trem the federal govern
meut will maintain large corps of able pro-
fessors and instructors and supply sufficient
,paratus and material for scientific work OF
the most valuable sort as relates to agricul'
t ire. Some Of the leading farmers OF the
state had meeting recently and formed
I'm of campaign with this object. ,
The argument for new institution, In
stead of putting the money into the agricul'
tural appendage of the University OF Ver'
m ont. Is that q school Of agriculture can
never succeed by the side of literary one be-
cause Of the foolish distinction that always
prevails among the boys, the agricultural STU
dents being called "dungies' or something OF
the sort, and the line between them and the
siutellectuaIs," as the students In The literary
course are called, being drawn as closely
as the color line ever was In the south. This
Is unuuestionably the truth. And there Is
only one agricultural college In the country,
80 attached to literary institution, that is a
success, while several, though small pro-
portion of the whole number, of those that
are run independently are going good work.
On the other hand, If they could be made
to work togeth her, 1t would decided adj
vantage to an agricultural college 10
be connected with an old established
Institution with its influences and appliances
of learning, to round out the education Oh the
farmer student. The Burlington college mas
certainly tried to make success OF the agrl'
cultural annex, offering far greater induce
ments than we're ever offered to studenls VI
any other branch, giving courses OF Ieclui'e
to farmers classes, and BOW proposing pei'
haps as bid before the legislature, course
of county institutes or something OF inc KIM
to diffuse the benefits Of the government
bounty over the state.
But the Burlington trustees do one fooiisn
thing in their report, taking the ground ina.
the states relation to it Is that OF contrac'
and that the agricultural branch cannot De
taken away from it without Its consent. Ih's
Is not the law,as Interpreted by the courts OF
the states relations to corporations. Further
more The statute of 1851 reserving the eX-
press power to .ater, amend or repeap' any
charter, would remove all doubts II any
existed.

failure of the potato crop Is serious enough 10

Can 1t Be True?

The New York Worlds Washington cor
respondence processes to have unearthed an
astounding plot of fraud and Justification IN
the census returns. 1t charges that tnere mas
been deliberate understanding Of Democratic
states and localities, that the gang OF men etn-
ployed to falsify the returns had an Office MT
ted up In private house on ID. street ID
Washington, that the papers, documents ana
orders for doing It were given out from tne
CELSIUS bureau, that New York was mus
scaled down 300, 900. the south systematically
treated In the same way and Kepubhcan
cities and states as Systematically scaled up
and that the St. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS over
counts were according to order.
The bureau officers of the census OF course
pronounce the charges absurd and the proof
is not by any means convincing yet. But
there are good many facts to warrant sus'
picion. The police count In New YORK shows
q population of 1,71O,7l5, or 1924 more
than the census made 1t. The explanation
that the census count was taken III June
when many people were out OF the city does
not answer because the greatest discrepancies
were in the tenement house districts, and In
one aristocratic ward the police count shows
an actual decrease from the census figures.
The census officials very properly refuse to
accept the police count. But such descrep'
ances certainly call for retaking of the CEN
sus, and If 1t is not done 1t will be proof OF
intentional upfairness.
The population of the country, II the last
decade had showed the same increase as that
previously, should be 66,OOO,OOO. Instead OF
that the census makes less than 64OOO,OOe.
This shortage of over 100000 Is mainly an
under count If 1t has been chopped OIL from
Democratic states, it Is crime OF astonishing
audacity.
Party leaders who have Quay and Belden
of the old canal ring at the head of their or
gapjzation, who have manufactured new
states like Idaho and Wyoming for the sake
of keeping themselves IN power, who have
stolen the Montana senatorships. and who
have made such an unb ushiEg auction OF
legislation as the Mckinley bill was, are ca
pable of doing all they are now charged
with. The only point of doubt is that they
should dare to defy the country by attempt
such a thing.
