The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1891-10-16

To awaken the interest of teachers, chill
dren and the public in this matter it is
proposed to give an hours time to the
subject in the hall on Friday afternoon,
October 23d, commencing at ? o'clock.
The parts will consist of songs, recita-
tions, declarations, essays and extern
poraneous remarks on the part of the
pupils, students and others, in all of
which the temperance spirit will pre-
dominate.
1t is not so much an exhibition or en-
tertainment, as meeting of teachers,
parents and children to stir up interest
in the temperance teaching of the
schools. The exercises will be largely of
an impromptu character. Parents, citi-
zens and everybody interested in school
temperance work are not only cordially
invited but expected to be present. 1t is
hoped that clergymen and other temper
ance workers will by their presence at
least try to add interest ard effect to the
efforts of the teachers and pupils to
awaken new interest in this important
branch of school work.

Regulations for the Inspection OF Pork CO.
ing to Germany.

WASHINGTON. Oct. ia committee from the
New York Produce Exchange had an inter-
view this morning with Secretary Rusk in re-
lation to the regulation for the inspection Of
pork going to Germany. The members Of the
Exchange were under the impression that
after pork products were stamped at abattoirs
in the West they could not be ree1amined at
shipping points in order to determine whether
they had been properly packed and were in
condition for sea voyage. This being 80. the
business of the members OF the Exchange
would be seriously imperilled in their rela-
tons with their correspondents In Germany.
Secretary Rusk assured them that this was
not the fact: that the regulations made by him

examination OF pork for trtchinB were sup

Collector Fassett,s Mistake.

Mr.. THOMAS COLLIER PLAT owes an
apology to the Hon. JACOB SLoAT FAssETr
for having taken that pert young man out
OF the Collectors Office. In the Custom
House Mr. FAssETT's work would have been
done to good extent with the pen. and at
any rate his conversations on political mat
ters would not have been spread before the
world. A certain amount OF seclusion and
silence would have surrounded him, and
the public while it still would have known
him to be an obedient servitor OF Mr..
PLArr's. would not have known what Mr..
FAssETTn- loose and thoughtless tongue
has revealed to 1t.
II was more than unkindness. 1t was bar
barity to let Mr.. FAssErr take the stump.
Mr.. PLATr. cynically careless Of the
reputation OF his pupil. has let him
talk freely. The people Of New York
have had IN opportunity to study the men
tai and moral characteristics indicated by
Mr.. FAssErr's speeches. which havc thus
become al unconscious autobiography. And
what do tho people read there?

ness and their moral dishonesty. They
reveal Mr.. FAssETT in the attempt
to be elected by false prctenccs.
They show that the man who is not too
