Burton's rIan to Prevent GerrymanderIng
of Congressional Districts.

Burton's plan to Prevent Gerrymanderlng
of Congressional Districts.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l4-Mr. Burton,
OF Ohio, has introduced in the House a
bill to regulate the division of the re-
spectiye States OF the Union into Con-
gressional districts. The bill provides
that within twelve months after the
passage Of an act a~pportioning to tho
respective States thoir quota of mem
bers under the census OF 1890, and with
in q like period after the apportiOnment
under each succeeding census, such
States as are entitled to more thar one
Representative in Congress shall be di-
vided into Congressional districts by a
State board to be appointed by the Gov
ernor OF tho State. The districts are to
consist Of contiguous territory; and 10
district is to have more than n NOM
Der. No district is to contain more than
on~e-twentioth, more or less, inhabitants
than the number which, in the State,
entities it to a Representative. The
districts arc to be of compact territory,
bounded as nearly as may be by the
boundary lines Of civil subdivisions, or
by natural boundaries. Each State Is
to have a Districting Board, appointed
by the Governor OF the State, composed
Of four members, OF whom IN equal
number shall belong to the two great
political parties of the State, and shall,
upon taking the oath OF Office, proceed
to divide their respective States into
Congressional districts
In addition to the State boards, tho
bill provides for a National board, con-
sisting of five members, to be appointed
by the President and confirmed by the
Senate, two members OF which shall be-
long to tho two great political parties,
and the fifth is to be a person who has
served not less than ten years as q
Judge either of the Supreme Court OF
the United States, or of the District Court
OF the United States. The fifth member
Is only to act in case the other members
ot tho board can not agree. The
National board Is only to act when NJ
ap"portionment has been made by tn,
State boards, and in such cases wher'
they are unable TO agree, and In suci
eases its decision is to be final. In ad
dition TO the necessary expenses thu
members OF the boards are TO receive
compensation. That of the members o
the National board is to DO $1,000; tina
Of the members OF the State boards is Y
be $500.

THE GRADUATING EXERCISES.

OF go ihn Dcgrees.

The class of 30 OF the University of Yer
mont and State Agricultural college was
smiled upon by bright skies Wednesday and
the morning air was delightfully."- refreshing
as result of the cooling showers OF the
previous night. At an early hour before
noon residents and visitors might have been
seen in large numbers vending their way
to the Howard Opera House and at II
O'Clock, the time for the opening of the com
mencement exercises proper, the auditorium
was well filled with an audience which rep
resented the fashion, beauty and wealth of
Burlington, with liberal contributions by
sister cities. The number of alumni who
came to honor their alma mater by their
presence was gratifyingiy large and the DC
casion was in every way delightful.

love of wisdom. He theu showed the diff
ferent ways in which truth might be CON
veyed by poetry If the poet rises above
the current of thought about him, it is be-
cause he feeds upon the higher ideas of some
other age. The poets of to-day therefore
must DO influenced to a greater or less de-
gree by the spirit of agnosticism which pre-
walls.
The speaker then considered the treat
mont of this modern philosophy of doubt,
denial and despair by two of the poets who
have recently passed from us-Matthew
Arnold and Robert Browning. The dis
tinguished feature of the poetry of the
former is the sad beauty with which he
voices his sense of loss--the isolation Of
man from nature and man from mainland
the speaker quoted a number of passages to
Illustrate this statement He thought the
ideas of the stoics, of Kant and of Arnold
bore a remarkable resemblance, although
the latter may never have been attracted by
either, and all have about the same inter
probation of life. Prof Dewey then spoke
of Browning as the apostle of the hopeful
and bright in poetry. Like Arnold, Brown
ing recognized the limitations of man, the
RELATIVELY of thought but instead of despair
ing he made all limitations tributary and
thus became the poet of all time.
In conclusion Prof. Dewey said that poet
ry was not to replace philosophy which is
the attempt to reduce experience and to grasp
truth and with which the race cannot dis
pense. Philosophy is to learn the great
truths of poetry, the spiritual meaning
of life, there is to be no divorce
between poetry and philosophy between
the imagination and intelligence. Poetry
and reflective thought twin daughters of
God, shall move hand in hand, under the
guidance of religion, pointing out to men
their fathers work. and inspiring them
with its beauty and love.
Prof. Deweys GRAFTON was listened to
with marked attention, and at its close the
speaker was generously applauded.
