SITTING BULL.
progress

Sitting Bull is presumably a good
Indian, if it is fair to base preSump-
ton on the old theory that an Indian
attains goodness only when trans
lated from terrestrial to the celestial
hunting grounds. There is another
more reliable presumption which
may be made, namely that the Sioux
will be much better Indians now that
this arch mischief-maker has gone
from among them. For twenty
years Sitting Bull has been the com
plica ting element in the Indian prob
lem in the Dakotas and Montana.
He lacked every trait that has ever
been admired in the noble savage"
Physically a coward, he maintained
by means of his cunning and logged
obstinacy of purpose an ascendency
among the Sioux tribes which made
him a power for evil. He was to the
last the bitter enemy of the pale face
and civilization. Coward though he
was, soap and water had more ter
rors for him than Winchester rifle.
God Almighty made me; God AL
mighty did not make me an agency
Indian, and III fight and die fighting
before any white man can make me
an agency Indian" he is reported to
have declared to Gen. Miles, and this
was the spirit of his whole career.
In the mouth of better man these
words would have had certain
ring of nobleness and dignity, but
Sitting Bull degraded them. The
country can spare him and his peo-
pie will be under better guidance now
that he is gone.

UNDESERVING.

The cries of the demagogue and Of
the parsonage of abbreviated vision
were heard by the late lamented
Legislature and the bureau of irnmi
grafton was abolished when its work
was just beginning. That this work
was not profitless and that it ought
to have been continued, with greater
resources at the disposal of the com
missioner, is indicated by this letter
just received by Mr.. Valentine:
CLARK, So. DAKOTA, Dec. 3, 1890.
The State Commissioner, Dear Sir
Please send me circulars and Informal
ton in regard to Vermont; send me list
of farming lands that are for sale. There
are several of MS here that want to emf
CRATE to your state. Respectfully,
WILLIAM A. YooST.
New Hampshire has expended
about 5000 in advertising the state
through her immigration commits
sioner and has sold thereby 80
vacant farms, but then Vermont does
not want her vacant farms occupied
evidently, and if she does not, it is
very easy to keep them vacant and
then blaze with wrath when they are
called abandoned" 1t begins to
look as though this noble state of
ours, with all its glorious possibil-
tiles does not deserve to make any
progress.

LOCAL NOTICES.
A New Book.

Henry Austin, a journalist of wide
experience, who was here this week
representing the New England Mag
azine, has just published little book
called "Vagabond Verses This
book is attracting great attention.
Rev Edward Everett Hale, in the
Boston Transcript of Dec. 20, pays
the new poet a cordial tribute. from
which we quote a few sentences: Il
have read 'Vagabond Verses with
very great pleasure, some of them
many times, and shall soon be able
to do without the book.
Mr. Austin has the eye which per-
ceives the analogy between things
visible and things invisible. He does
not have to hunt for this; the anal
to him what he wants to say. Sec
ondlv, Mr. Austin has what | call
the lyric swing Very few people in
our time have it. | do not believe
there is any good in our complaining
in the newspapers that 1T does not
exist. Let us be grateful when it
does exist and shows itself, as it does
in this volume To these warm
words from the world-famous preach
er and man of letters, Edward Ever
EFT Hale, we can only add our hope
that. when the book is put on sale
here next week, as we understand it
will be, many persons In St. Johns
bury will possess themselves of a
copy.

SENA TOR-ELECT IRBY.

The newlv-elected Senator from
South Carolina is "a Southern gen
tleman, sab, by all the signs of that
peculiar race of chivalric gentlemen.
He was OUTLAY wed in the seventies for
murder, fled the state, where there
was q reward of $500 for his cap
ture, and remained away until the
easy South Carolina conscience had
recovered from the shock. He was
acquitted of the crime by methods
peculiar to the climate. He next
armed himself with shotgun and
went on the warpath in the town OF
Laurens, for which he paid a fine.
He was, after this, offended by a
man and, with the rare tact of "a
Southern gentleman" brought a
negro from his plantation, gave him
a hOrsewhip, captured the unfortu-
pate offender and, with one pistol
pointed at the white mans head and
another at the negro's, compelled the
latter to horsewhip the white. Mr..
Irbv seems to have been sensitive, for
after he had thus repaired one indig-
nifty certain justice of the peace had
the misfortune to offend him, when
Irby and his mother, in their pecul-
iarly humorous way, slashed the JUS
tice to pieces, crime for which they
were never punished.
Senator Irbv will be great addi-
ton to the United States Senate. He
has now joined the Farmers Alliance
and the Baptist church, but whether
he is less sensitive than of old is not
stated by his biographers. If he is
still the shrinking, tender gentleman
as of old, the Senate must be careful
as to the form its debate takes, or its
members will need to practice the re-
vOlver drill.
Yet the Charleston News and
Courier laments because Senator
has been chosen who is too young to
have worn the rebel gray He has
all the marks of veteran rebel and
Bourbon, anyway.

THE SCHOOL LAW.

The difficulties which are arising in
regard to the new school law teach
by most graphic object lesson the
evils attending hasty legislation. In
response to the demands of a wide
spread prejudice, the school law of
1888, before it had been fairly tried,
was taken in hand by that remarka-
BILE body of lawmakers, the legisla-
ture of 1890. They did not know
what was wanted, except that their
their constituents were clamOrous
for a change. They did not know
what to do with the school law,
which was unanimously approved
by experienced practical educators in
and out of the state. They only
knew that if they would save their
political hides they must substitute
something different. So they knock
ed out the Objectionable word, ''su-
pervisor." and substituted "exami
ner," meaning a little less efficient
edition of the same thing. They put
back the town superintendent, and
in some places they got the words in
the wrong places. For instance, APP
plying the substitution to one sec
ton, it would read: eff the superin-
tendent of education is unable to be
present at a teachers institute, he
may direct the town superintendent
such institute"
The difficulty in regard to the
length of the school year and the di-
vision of the school tax has been
clearly pointed out by correspon-
dent of the Caledonian
Now several things are to be learn
ed from this embarrassing expert
ence One is that the unwritten law,
which has been tacitly accepted, that
the legislature must be prorogued at
Thanksgiving is a disgrace to the
conscienees of the states legislators.
How can they go home leaving a
record of botched laws and halffn-
ished work behind them the average
citizen with a conscience cannot I'M
derstand The Caledonian is glad to
know that a senator from Caledonia
county objected to this summary
closing of the legislative mill and
urged an adjourned session early in
January, to complete with proper
deliberation the work of the year
Senator Nichols plan would have
been real economy for the state and
ought to have been adopted.
Another lesson to be learned NAV
be briefly stated. A law affecting
our most vital interest should not be
made the football of popular feeling
and action upon it should be calmly
and judiciously weighed. Vermont
has stood at the head of the class
among northern states in the tables
of illiteracy too long, because of mar
row and wavering action in regard
to her schools. The change for the
better gives no sign of being near at
hand.

One of the hardest blows yet given
to Quay is the demand of the Phila-
delphia Press for his retirement from
political control The Press is the
leading and representative republican
paper of Pennsylvania; it is con-
Quoted with great ability and its
utterances carry weight Moreover,
it is staunch party paper. and
while accepting Delamater with a
protest it supported him in the re-
cent campaign. 1t now outspokenly
opposes CamerOn's reelection to the
Senate and Quay's domination of the
party. Repudiated by nearly every
reputable republican paper in his
own state and out of it, Quay must
be callOuS indeed if he can hold him
self in his place, against the manifest
wish of the party.

A SUGGESTION TO THE TRIBUNE

The New York Tribune announces
in its prospectus for the coming year
among other articles, one from the
Hon. lanes S. ClarksOn of Iowa, on
principle in Politics and the Virtue
of Courage" The Hon. Mr.. Clark
son will be remembered as one of the
chief partners in the Reed-Quay ALI
ance of political tricksters. He will
also be remembered as the man who
was charged with the scheme of fitch
ing the mail-llSt of the New York
Voice during the last campaign for
political purposes-a charge which
has never been answered to the entire
satisfaction of the voters.
Now let the Tribune carry this
sadly needed political reform further.
Let us have an article from the Hon.
Matt Quay upon 'Principle in Poll
tics and the Virtues of Honesty in
Places of Public Trusts" If the
Hon. Matt pleased he could set forth
in glowing colOrs the desirability of
honesty in public characters, and
from decidedly post-mortem point
of view.
Also let the Hon. Thomas B. Reed
be allowed to write upon Principle
in Politics and the Virtue of Justice
from the Speakers Throne" His
late experience with selfseeking
minorities would richly qualify him
to speak upon the evil tendencies of
unlimited power-when possessed by
the other fellow. He can likewise
portray the advantages enjoyed by
achairman in suppressing rows upon
the national floor
Bv an occasional article of this
sort the Tribune might again enjoy
the distinction of being mighty in
teresting paper We would suggest
that as the time for preparing these
articles for this year is too short,
the authors will have the coming
two years to devote to earnest medi
tation, and can also have the pleas
ure of remembering the principal
cause of this interregnum.

The articles published in this and
the previous issue of the Caledonian
on forestry are worth careful read
ing, especially the extracts given this
week from the Encyclopedia Brit
tannica, which show how far our
country is behind Europe in an intel
ligent handling of this great ques-
ton, with all its important bearing
on commercial, climatic and scenic
conditions. We must face the forest
nv question in this country very
soon. Why postpone the dav?
A writer in a forthcoming number
of a popular periodical will attempt
to tell How to act in a hotel"
This is an unnecessary task. If peo-
pie will act in hotels like ladies and
gentlemen: do nothing away from
home and among strangers that they
would be unwilling to do at home
among their friends and neighbors );
remember always the simple laws of
Christian courtesy; and possess
their souls in patience, they will do
very well in hotels or anywhere else,
without any special directions.
