To the Editor Oft Herald:

We endorse the statements of Mr..
LOOMS Wells in last weeks HERALD
in regard to the school law of 1888.
Vermont is mainly an agricultural
state; the times are very hard for
farmers, and the watchword of our
Legislators should be retrenchment
instead of extravaganza, and the
most rigid economy consistent with
the best interests Of the state should
be practiced in order that the bur
den OF increased taxation may be
removed. To this end we believe
that the present school law should
be repealed and the old law restored
or, if this is not done, that the office
of Supervisors Of schools should o
abolished; that all useless boards
such as the Board of Agrcul-
ture should be done away with;
that the salaries of The judges Of
the Supreme Court should be re-
duced or the number of judges
diminished, as they receive double
the pay allowed them 80 years ago
for about one.half the labor then
performed; and that retrenchment
should be practiced in many ways
which we have not time nor space
here to euumerate, remembering
that part of Sec. IS of Chap. Of
the Constitution of Vermont which
reads, Whenever an Office through
increase Of fees or otherwise becomes
so profitable as to occasion many to
apply for it, the profit ought to be
Iesscncd by the Legislature"

Essex County Ticket.

The ticket put in nomination last
June by the Republicans of Essex
County is good one, and deserves
the support of every Republican in
the county. 1t was put in nomina
ton without n word of objection
from any source, and no personal
feeling against any man thereon
should cause any member of the
party to abstain from voting the
entire ticket plain and straight next
Tuesday. To deprive the ticket Of
a thorough support is blow aimed
Mt the party no less than against
the candidates. The integrity of
the nominees cannot be questioned,
their probity is undoubted, and
their ability is conceded. Moreover,
according to a resolution adopted at
the last county convention, the basis
of representation by towns in the
next county convention will be up
on the vote cast for Senator, conse.
quently a full county vote should
be cast. Let us all have it to say
that we remained true to our trust
politically, and give full vote to
every man on the ticket.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1890-08-29
Our Last Word Is Orally at the
Polls"

The time for argument is passed
the time for action by the Republi.
can voters is at hand. OF course
the Democratic party has no hope
or expectancy of electing its ticket
but 1t does hope to elect from fifty
to 4 hundred members of the House
and portion of the Senate. There
is onl y one danger, and it is too i'm.
portant one TO be ignored, and it
lies in the fact that Republicans
are apt to be apathetic owing te
the strength of the party in the
State, because this is an of year.
In off years hundreds-nay thou
sands-havc been accustomed to
excuse themselves on the ground
that their vote is not needed. They
say there is enough to elect our
man without me-" This will not
Go any longer "Tis true we have
a big majority when our full vote i,
poIled, but we will not have if our
voters excuse themselves while the
Democrats vote. A hundred or two
absent votes in close counties, like
Essex County for instance, may
practically defeat a half dozen
Senators, or a score of Representa-
tives, and such change may defeat
important measures. Every Repub
lican who does not vote next
Tuesday practically helps our friends
the enemy-by depriving his own
ticket of one. Let every Republican
ooter act upon tie assumption that
ms cote and his effort are need,d TO
secure tic success ofthe State, Dis
trict, County and 7oon tickets.
Let us therefore Rally at the Polls, i"
and give a full vote to every man
put in nomination.

Duty of Vermont Republicans.

In Vermont and other States
where one or the other party has a
large majority 4 sentiment prevails
that it is of little consequence
whether one votes or docs not on
the off years. Acting upon this
idea the average citizen manages to
get interested in political matters
only once in four years, and at other
times negIects his political duties
This is n mischievou3 sentiment.
1t is \ bad custom which allows q
good citizen to excuse himself from
dlscharglng a public duty. The
man who desires good government
should make it a matter of duty to
vote at every election held where he
is 4 voter. This is an of gear, and
one hears people predicting a light
vote for no other reason thar it is
an off year, and 80 little interest in
political matters. There should be
quite as much personal interest IN
the election in Vermont this year as
there was two years ago. The leg.
islature will be called upon to act
upon as important questions and
measures as was that last elected :;
the county officers to be elected
this year will have equally impor
tant trusts committed to their care.
There are a number Of reasons why
1t is important that the Republican
ticket should have full vote in
Vermont this year, therefore let us
get out a full vote, and show to the
country at large that our organlza.
ton is vigorous, and its ranks full;
that it is full of courage, intact in
numbers, and strong and sincere in
It's devotion TO party principles.
Let Us have an emphatic declaration
at the polls to this effect.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1890-08-29

Every man in these days is, or
should be, sufficiently enlightened
as to have no doubts as to how lie
should vote next Tuesday. There
may be some Republicans who do
not endorse certain measures enacted
by the leading politicians of the
party, but they should always re.
member that the great principles Of
the party abide, and are the same,
and will remain rs long rs the ma
tion remains. The trouble, however,
is not with the principles, but mis-
takes have been made in supporting
poor men to represent them. But
this year no Republican can for a
moment doubt that tie standard
bearers selected by the Republicans
to represent the party in either the
county, district, or STATE, are firm,
honest and able men.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1890-08-29

believe the change of methods Of
instruction and new facts aud de-
velopmenls in Geography requires
revision and change Of text books,
contrary to the positive assurance
of your correspondent. / have
never supposed that We have made
the best possible selection of books
in every study, as there is great
room for difference of opinion.
Perfection is not claimed for the
school law of 1883. Its friends are
willing 10 see defects pointed out
and amendments suggested. The
people are willing to listen to argu-
ments pro and con, but they believe
in fair play. They are willing TO
exchange a system which proved
inefficient for one which promises
success. They prefer district
schools to reform schools, academies
to penitentiaries, and are willing to
back their faith with their money.
In conclusion let me express the
hope and belief that your correspon'
dent will live to see his grandchil-
dren help, administer and partake
of the benefits of the school law of
1888. J. Ii. WALBRIpGE.

Not an OFF Yenr.

There is no off year with men
who are faithful TO their political
principles. To say that it is not
important to keep up the party vote
to the maximum is an absurdity.
What would be thought of farmer
who expected good crop by ma,
nuring every other year, or a mer-
chant who expected a big business
if he only purchased new goods
once in two years. The next legis-
lature may pass laws which would
be so injurious TO the interests of
the State that the damage would be
almost irrcparable. Keep bad and
inefficient men out of the General
Assembly and it will be easier two
years hence to keep good men in.
1t is just as important that as large
Republican vote should be cast
this year as there was in 1858, and
as there will be in 1892. The idea
that RepubIicaScan stay away
from the polls without injury TO his
party Is a dclusion. A small vote is
an encouragement to our political
opponents. Besides, We owe it to
onr candidates to give them rouSlng
and emphatic endorsement. There
will be no street parades, no
campaign speeches, no Indictment
to full vote. If it is brought ont
it will be due to the efforts of the
active and earnest men in every
town and village who now cherish
the fullest faith in the old parry
and i'll its mission.

Let every Republican go to the
polls next Tuesday and vote. Do
not, because the success Of the Re
publicans is sure, think that your
vote is not needed. 1t is the ma
jority that will tell; and it should
be largely reduced it will almost be
a defeat, and the cry will soon
sweep over the land that Republi-
canism in Vermont is on the wane.

In The Victorian Naturalist G.. Lyeli,
Jr., Of South Melbourne, notes that While
walking along the edge of a mountain
stream in Gippsland he observed Il peculiar
habit of the Victorian butterfly, PapiIio
maclcayanus. One of these butterflies was
seen to alght close to the water, into
which it backed till the whole OF the body
and the lower part of the hind wings were
SUBMERGED the two forclc.,s alone retain
ing their hold of the dry land. After re-
manning in this position for something like
half minute it flew away, apparently
refreshed
During the morning. says Mr.. Lyell,

thing. In one instance no less than four
were seen to be within space of not more
than three yards, and to make surcthat l
was not deceived captured several rs they
rose from the water, and found In each
case the body and lower edge of the hind
wings quite wet. While i'll the water the
GutterinS of the wings, so noticeable at
other times, was suspended, and so intent
were the butterflies in the enjoyment OF
their cold bath that they would hardly
move, even when actually touched by the
net.
apparently the heat Of the weather
drove them to the water, as Immediately
they emerged they flew up again to the hill
sides. have often noticed butterflies of the
Nymphalidr family settling near the pools,

Here's story about Stanley that The
Boston Herald, in telling, says has never
been in print: "On his last lecture tour in
this country one Of the dignitaries at Am
herst wrote to him expressing the hope
that while in Amherst Stanley would DE
his guest. He was paincd and puzzled at
receiving from Mr.. Sttnleys secretary a
curt reply to the effect that the gentleman
need have no fear, as Mr.. Stanley was al
ways a gentleman. The lecturer did not
accept the invitation, and later it came
out that the gentleman's invitation to 'be

,John and MARI Ann.

In one of the towns of Lincoln county
there formerly lived couple known to the
surrounding country rs John ana Mary

nance at all for it frequently happenedthat

MS. Hubbard, was bare of anything OF an
o:,scouS character even, to say nothing or
bread and butter. One thing, however,
they always contrived to have on hand
tobacco, and two very black pipes, for
Mary Ann shared her husbands joys as
we'll as his SORROWS. John would come
home at night and nterroGate his spouse
as to the prospect for internal refreshmcnt.

Then the man of tho house would heave

Johns spiritual condition was IL source
of some solicitude to his wife, who one day
persuaded him to accompany her to
PRAYER meeting that was to be held in a
school house some miles away. Arriving
there John, the sinful soul, drew the line
at entering the house, and persisted IN SIT
ting down outside under one of the open
windows. where he could enjoy peaceful
smoke and get the benefit Of the meeting
at the same time.
The service within was progressing une-
ventfully when Mary Ann arose and, after
dwelling upon the lost and rndone condi-
ton of her lord and master and the great
distress which this condition caused her,
asked the prayers of the audience for tho
unregencrnte John. A hush fell upon the
assembly, during which the head OF the
gentleman in question slowly appeared
above the window sill. Resting his elbows
upon this, and holding his pipe in an easy
attitude between his thumb and foretnger,
he cast benevolent look upon those with
