THE average age OF the veteran Of
either army may be assumed to be
now less than 50. Their service was
indispensably full Of hardships and
exposure, tending to shorten life, but
the average expectancy may be set
down roughly as fifteen years. This is
brief space. Yet little while and
all the actors in that mighty conflict,
the civil war, will have passed away,

The ruffianism al American colleges
renders it difficult for careful father
nowadays to decide what to do with a
son who is old enough to 90 to college,.
He would like to give him "a college
education, but he doesn't care to have
him become brute or an idiot, as he
is quite likely to do under the methods
pursued at such an institution Of learn
ing. He would like to see him become
scholar and gentleman rather than

mitted that calves, horses, cats, fowls,

disease having the very closest resem-

Deserted Farms.

A Vermont lawyer, who has been so
JOurning in New York few weeks past,
and who has had occasion to meet many
wall street brokers, spectators and bust
ness men, comes home fully convinced
that Commissioner Valentines deserted
farms" theory is detrimental to Yer
mOnt's interests, and founded on unre.
liable statements. The Vermonter says
he was surprised at the frequency will
which Vermont was held up by New
York capitalists as a state whose farm,
have been deserted; and he further SAYS
that twas almost impossible to convince
those who had never visited the 'greer
hills" that the commissioner statement,
were wrong The lawyer prefers to i'm
port New York capitalists to develop the
states mineral resources, and to engage
in profitable horse breeding, rather thar
introduce foreign element with little
capital and less social qualities. -Rut
land Herald.
1t is passing strange that so many re
fuse to see the opportunity presented fol-
making money out of the purchase Of
real estate in Vermont. Wall stree
brokers have specialized so long il
western securities that it is difficult tC
make them understand that the east
presents many chances not yet all taker
of making money. The Commissioner
statements are correct, and the North o.
Europe people, who have investigated tn,
outlook, have begun to seize the OppOr
tunity so long neglected by natives. II
another item the sort of people who hav,
come here is described. They are no
fools, If some of their critics are.

BENNINGTON. VERMONT /:
Thursday Afternoon, May 1, 1890.
"rHE PEOPLES CANDIDATE"

Under this significant title the Rutland
Herald this morning comes out emphati-
cally urging the nomination of the
Hon. James X. Batchelder for Congress.
In a column article the Herald states the
situation and gives excellent reasons why
Mr.. Batchelder should be the choice of
the Republicans of the First District.
We have fully stated few of the quail
ties which go to make up an acceptable
candidate for this high Office and have
given an opinion why we think Mr..
Batchelder possesses these to an eminent
degree. The Herald clothes an idea or
two in new language which will com
mend its arguments to the favorable con-
sideration of the Republicans of this
District. The Herald says:
Character and brains, not smart
ness and wealth, have been the standard
by which Vermont has measured the
men whom she called to her service
and, as result, her voice has ever been
strong and clear on the right side in the
National halls of legislation.
''Soon, the people of Vermont will
have to choose again the men whom
they wish to represent them in the lower
house of Congress; and they will make
this choice for themselves in accordance
with genuine level-headed Vermont sense
and discrimination.
They will insist that their Represents
tives be men of energy and push, who
shall use their ability and experience moi
merely to represent Vermont with credit
and honor, but to aid the people in tax
ing long strides forward.
'In the First Congressional District
especially is this true; and it is this sen
timent that has caused the name of Hon
James X. Batchelder as that of candi
date for Congress to command rapid.
increasing strength since it was first men
toned, about two months ago.
$50 far as the Herald knows, Mr.
Batchelder has made no pledges, and ha'
neither sought nor participated in an!
alliance or understanding with any can
didate for any other office; but he hai
taken frank and manly position, max
ing no secret of his honorable and worth!
ambition to secure the nomination, anC
endeavOring in no way to advance hi
candidacy other than by inviting the sup
port of those of his fellow. citizens who
acting upon their own best judgment
believe him to be the man needed anC
fitted at the present time to serve then
in Congress. He has not sought to be
little or embarrass the candidacy of an,
possible rival; and he has done, simpl!
what is the privilege of any citizen to d,
asked for the support and vote of al
who could conscientiously give them t.
him. ~.
''That is the kind of politics that til,
people of Vermont like and respect; anC
it is the kind that tends to bring the hes
men to the front"

The approaching General Assembly of

greater interest than any preceding ses-

or not. The doctrines of Election and
"decrees'' in that church are sure to be

confession as synonymous terms in
this connection, when they are corolary
