THE FARMERS AND THE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.

Mr.. EDITOR AS a farmer / am
deeply interested in this matter, and
desire to briefly review a few points
in the case And first, as to there be-
ing a contract between the state and
the .. V. M. The simple fact is that
the General Assembly in 1865 passed
an act Incorporating the University
of Vermont and State Agricultural
College. No contract between the
State and University was involved in
this act. The General Assembly had
not nor has it any power to make
such contract by passing an act ere
ating a corporation until a law
passed in 1851 is repealed. That
law reads thus: "Acts creating, con-
tinuing, altering or renewing a cor
poration or body polite hereafter
passed by the General Assembly, may
be altered, amended or repealed when
the public good requires such altera-
ton, amendment orrepeal." See Re-
vised Laws of Vermont, section 1857.
Thus the folly of this claim of the
U. V. NJ. is apparent. Moreover, the
farmers consulted good legal counsel
| III preparing Ule Ulll HOW DelOTe the
General Assembly, and they ask for
the passage of this BILL Then if the
! u. V. NJ. wishes to take the matter to
the courts, let them do So The
farmers do not fear the results.
Now what kind of an institution do
the farmers want to which to send
their sons? Take the farmers of
Stowe, Morristown, and the other
towns in this and other counties; do
they want a college that will require
two or three years of preparation !;
that requires four years to complete
the course; that takes their boys for
that length of time away from the
farm and all farm surroundings, and
puts them in the largest town in the
state, and surrounds them with an
influence wholly foreign to farmers
life? What would a young man be
good for on a farm after going
through such course? The farmers
want not an institution that will I'M
fit their sons for the farm and farm
workout one that will take them
and fit them to be good farmers and
useful citizens. They ask the legisla-
ture to take the agricultural college
funds and establish such a college
Is there anything unreasonable in
this demand? j. W. NEWTON.

FROM THE PEOPLE.
SCHOOL LAWS.

MESsRs. EDITORS -
Our school law seems to be an OBJ
ject of special anxiety and attack
now at Montpelier, and the one tea-
ture of that law most obnoxious ap-
pears to be the county supervisor
ship. A few thoughts need to be kept
in mind when any action is taken IN
changing the feature of the law. One
is whether any supervisor OF our
schools is needful, and few persons
who have given the matter any
thought, but will agree that schools,
like all other great enterprises need
supervision The question then will
arise as to what system is the best.
There can obviously be a choice only
between the two, the present and
former, that by a county and town
superintendent. No person can have
been observant who did not see that
the former method had become nearly
or quite valueless, the causes that
made it so were several, too many
and complex to set forth here. No
person felt the worthlessness of that
method more than those who had
the office of town superintendent, es-
pecially a conscientious man who
had been a long time in the service.
Those causes that operated against
the usefulness of that office had be-
come necessary and permanent, and
will be equally bar to any real ben
eft from that system should it be
adopted again One of the causes
was the lack of suitable men in the
various towns to be had for that of
flee. By the county system the
chances for the right man are multi
piled by a factor as large as the num-
Der of towns embraced. Probably a
better an thon 6IItCJ of Che 60
would be a division by the number of
schools say from Is to 125 for each
man and he to give his whole time to
these schools and his work. This
will go far in the direction so much
needed in Vermont, of raising up a
few men competent and full of the
right spirit, to give themselves to
popular educational work. 1t may
be that some county supervisors
have made the office a sinecure. 1t
may be that others have presented
the sorry and destructive spectacle
of a state officer opposing a state
institution, viz, the Normal School.
1t may he that some supervisors
are wholly incompetent, or various
other defects may have come to
light. But is it not well to discrimi-
nate between letting the fault be
charged to the law or to the men
who hold office under the law, where
the fault really is? If there are not
men who will faithfully and with
great profit to the schools carry out
the present law, then surely it will be
to find ten times as many
men so faithful and qualified as to
make the town system a success I'M
der the much greater difficulties that
beset it. S.

and vicinity are already talking
about celebrating the Tooth ami
versary of Vermont's statehood,
which occurs on January IT. A Chi
cago paper recently stated that the
late census showed that more YER
monters lived in Chicago and vicini-
ty than in Vermont itself. A mon
ster celebration is expected and YER
monters will probably be present
from all over the Union, The re-
union will be held in the Auditorium,
the new concert hall, which is claimed
to be the largest in this country, hav-
ing a seating capacity for 1000 peo-
pie. After listening to addresses a
banquet will be served.

Not an Astonishing Event.

There has been an unbroken line of
Democratic Houses of Representa-
lives since 1874, except in 1880 and
1888, so that the election of a Demo-
cratic House at this time is neither
an astonishing nor astounding event
In 1874 the country was surprised,
but in 1890 it is merely repetition
of the invariable loft year" rule for
sixteen years. The loss of the House
in 1874 did not prevent the election
of a Republican president in 1876,
although the contest was severe and
close. The Democratic House of
1873 made possible the Republican
victory of 1880. The Democratic
House elected in 1882, had a plural
ity of 81 In the light of present
knowledge of how Mr.. Blaine was
counted out in New York city in
1884, the precedent continued to
hold good then, but was broken by
fraud. 1t was most assuredly the
election and proceedings of the Dem
ocratic Congress in 1886, which
swept the Republican party back into
power in every branch of government
in 1888, and if history repeats itself,
the Democratic House now elected
will be the means of bringing about
a Republican victory in 1892.
The policy of the government can
not be changed. A Republican pres
ident and a Republican Senate stand
in the way of any measures of free
trade which the Democrats in their
election might be tempted to pass,
and long before 1892 the Mckinley
bill will have proven its merits in
practical operation, so that the vot-
ers of the country will look back in
wonder at what they did in 1890.

Highly Complimentary.

The following highly compliment
ary notice of the Republican county
candidates appeared in the Morris
Sun of the 14th inst. On behalf OF
the nominees we extend hearty
thanks to our worthy contemporary.
The Sun says:
"Of the old officers who are nomina-
ted for reelection we need say moth
ing, they are well known in the coun-
ty; they have done their duties well,
and are men of irreproachable char
acter. OF the two new candidates we
would say, Henry Wolff has grownup
among us, his character is spotless,
and he is well qualified to fill the
office which he Is nominated for. Liz.
Macintosh of Eldorado is vigorous
young man, he is comparatively an
old settler In Stevens county and is
esteemed and highly appreciated
where ever known. II elected to the
office of superintendent we have no
doubt he will give entire satisfaction" /"
After reading the above unqualified
endorsement of the Republican oadi-
dates, so far as capability, honesty
and intagrity are concerned, the ques-
ton naturally arises: "Why not
elect these men to office and save the
trouble of further nominations" ?"
Surely, If the editor of the Sun is cor
rect in his estimate of the gentleman
composing the Republican ticket, nc
better men could be selected, even by
the Democratic party.

Morris Brick to The Front.

Pioneer Press: The Minneapolis
court house and city hall commission,
had a special session yesterday, ana
passed on the propositirn to substitute
brick for Kettle river stone III ths
court walls OF the building. The con-
struction committee reported In iaVoi
of having the contract for the base,
ment, which has been let, changeo
and brick used. 1t was figured tha,
there would be saving OF aoou.
$500 on the basement contract. III
brick Ia used all through the building
the saving would be about S4O,o ,oOO
This was figuring on the MOTIFS brick
If the common homemade whlte
brick should be used the saving woulo
be over $4,000. The matter was
talked over informally, and 1t was
finally voted to adopt the committee.s
recommendation of the use OF Morris
brick instead of sandstone.
Mr.. Moss, one of the contractors on
the above building, was in the city
yesterday and closed a contract with
w. b. Hancock for the necessary
brick. This is quite send off for the
Morris brick yard company, and we
congratulate them upon securing the
contract.
