worth S2.62 of the currency, Tuesday.
The st. Johnsbury Republican in con-
vinced that the State superintendent of
education should be changed and nomi-
mates Principal Landon of the Burling-
ton High school. The fact that he is
not candidate the Republican regards
as an additional argument in his favor,
and it is right.
a correspondent tells in another col
umn what it is proposed to do at Brooks
vile. The testimony of all who are in
position to know is that there is money
in the edge-tool business now, and the
relation of Brooksville and Mddlebury
are so close that revival of industry
there would help US. For this, if no
other reason, it is to be hoped that the
plan will work.

The following, from q late address by
Senator Warner Miller of New York, is
worth reading at this line: There is
good deal said about the farmer in pol

ers. can see no harm in these oranges,
farmers leagues, and alliances. There
is this to be remembered, however, that
our forefathers were opposed to class
legislation. There is no reason for a
railroad party. or for a labor party, or
for farmers party. No political par
ty with one idea only could exist year
in this country. Our people are oppos-
ed to class parties. My advice to you is
to act through your own political party.
No one class of the population should
seek to bend all legislation and govern.

MAGGIE II. AT WHITE RIVER JUNCTION

1t was quite a surprise to horsemen at
White River Junction the 18th. to see the
mare Maggie H., owned by Messrs.
Fletcher & Winch of Middlebury, make a
race with such fast ones as Falcon, Jr.,
and Helen NJ. Maggie proved herself to
be game and fast, going neck and neck
with Falcon, Jr., to the half in | ;l24 and
making the last quarter in 34i seconds,
a : IL gait. She won the fourth heat in
, :304, shutting out Katisha, fast Ben
Franklin that had beaten her in two pre-

A FAIR REQUEST.

The following resolution was passed at
the annual meeting in Bellows Falls, last
week, of the Schoolmasters club, an Or
ganzation composed of the leading edu-
Gators of the State:
Resolycd. That the Schoolmasters club,
representing the high school, the acad-
emy and college interests. and as indi-
viduals not personally interested except
as interested in the welfare of our State,
do heartily endorse the present school
law and ask that the Legislature of the
current assembly allow it fair trial un-
til their next meeting.
Now it is to be noted, in the first place,
that this is the deliberately opin-
ion of disinterested persons; for the
changes made by the new law do not
sensibly affect the wages or the duties of
the individuals composing the club.
Furthermore, it is the opinion of men
who have given and are giving their
whole time and attention to the subject
of education. They, if any one. should
be able to Judge intelligently of these
matters; and if they are not to judge,
who is? Certainly not the average leg
islator. The st. Johnsbury Republi-
can hits the nail squarely on the
head when it says:
The amount of presumption and folly
that the average man displays in regard
to school affairs is amazing. If that man
has a ten-dollar watch to be repaired, he
takes it to ieweler, and first carefully
ascertains whether he is a competent man
or not. But that same man who is so
careful of ten-dOlar watch will entrust
the bodies and minds and souls of his
children to practically the first person
who comes alOng-a green youth who is
trying to pay his way through college by
teaching, an equally green young woman
who is trying to pay her own way until
such time as Sh can get n rried, or some
other similarly unqualified person to
whom teaching i Il mere makeshft. ana
not profession to he followed for life
time. And, finally. our ten-dollar-watch
man, having entrusted to such h nds the
destineS of his children for this world
and perhaps for the next, has the enor-
nous presumption to talk about school
laws aud school systems as though he
We're Past Master in the science of ped
agOgy, and to pass final and detintive
Judgment upon Il law that was devised
by men who forget more about teaching
every night than ne ever knew and that
is sustained by every teacher in the State
whose Judgment is worth more than the
verest dust in the balance. Please eX-
hibt little more modesty, gentlemen
of the legislature, and give the school
system time to vindicate itself.
The expressions of the schoolmasters
and of our contemporary merit the con
sideration of those who have to do witt
the making or unmaking of laws. The
truth is, the most of us do not know
whether the law is, in all respects, al
good as it might be; but it is perfectly
fair to presume, from the character anc
attainments of those who framed it, tina
it deserves at least a thorough trial
That is all that can be desired, and tina
is what should be granted.

Rev. Mr.. KEITH RESIGNED.

Rev. \. F. Keith, the pastor of the
Congregational church, announced at
the close of the sermon last sunday that
the service next sunday would probably
close his connection with the church.
He has sent in his resignation to take eff
feet Nov. >. 1t has been accepted by
the prudential committee of the society,
but will be submitted to a Joint meeting
of the church and society on Wednesday
next. As has been stated in these col
umns, Mr.. Keth's health is such that he
deems it the part of prudence to seek re-
lief from the throat difficulty with which
he suffers in a milder climate. That such
is the fact is the cause of great regret
not only among the people of his church,
but with the community generally. His
plan is to go South for the winter. Mrs.
Keith and the children will probably re-
main here.

OPINIONS AND SUGGESTIONS.

If the State is AS hard pushed as the
st. Johnsbury papers would have be-
lieved. we would suggest there are two
or three old brass cannon lying around
loose at the State house that might be
sold for manufacture into badges for
Sons of the Revolution. This would
help some st. Adams Messenger.
If man believes that all the wisdom
of the world died with his grandfather,
he naturally remains a Democrat. If a
man believes that the future is bright
with promises, if he believes in better
future than the present, if he sees before
him world that is opening to greater
and greater prosperity, then he is a Re-
publican Thomas B. Reed.

but were informed of the situation be-
