CURRENT COMMENT.

Even so far as the cabinet is made up,
we are assured of some very solid ma
terial IN it, Mr.. Bissell and Mr.. Hoke
Smith alone aggregating 800 pounds.
Il Albany Argus.
The choice of Mr.. Gresham wins praise
from men without party associations; it
strengthens the claim for the support of
the Populists in Congress; It gets dan
gerous presidential possibility out of the
way; it secures a strong advocate of a
third term, and if 1t makes Old-fashioned
Democrats little restive that is no great
matter, for they will stand without hitch
ing Rochester Post-Express.
Our estimate of President Harrison has
turned out to be absolutely correct. He
chose a man not only of national reputa-
ton as a senator and of proved judicial
ability on the circuit bench, but ster-
ling Democrat, to be the successor of
Justice Lamar; and he thus once more
manifested his title to the respect of the
American people and put his critics to
confusion and shame. New York Sun

THE SCHOOL LAW AND SCHOOL DlREo-
TORS.


The new school law, which will go in
to effect April /, is somewhat revolution
ary in its provisions, and already there
are murmurings of dissatisfaction with
it. Now this is not the right attitude at
all to assume regarding the measure. 1t
must be conceded that the legislature
acted in good faith in the matter. and 1t
is also quite within the range of posi-
bilities that they knew more about it
than some of their critics. At any rate,
the law should have fair trial. If it Is
a good law, the people want to find it out
in order that they may retain it on the
statute book. 1t may be better in its
practical workings than its makers, even,
hoped.
But no law, however salutary, will
prove excellent in practice if it is not
properly administered; so that the least
that any friend of education can do is to
seek to promote the election of the best
candidates for school directors in the sew
eral towns. Mr.. +. l.. Temple, the Rut-
land superintendent of schools, makes
some sensible suggestions on this point
in a letter to the Herald, in which he
says:
Great care should be exercised in each
March town meeting in the choice OF men
suitable to act as Il board of school direct
ors. They should not be chosen hastily
and without reflection, nor should they be
selected for political reasons, or simply
because they are "good enough, or have
large family of children, or because
they ought to have an office. Nowhere
is sagacity more needed than in "a choice
to this position.
They should, of course, be men of pru-
dence and of good business habits, but
their methods should not be limited to
the exercise of a parsimonious eXpendi-
ture. They should be quick to perceive
legitimate needs in education, and ready
to meet them in a spirit of wise and lib
eral economy. They ought, it is true, to
be conversant with the value of lumber
and shingles, but they also ought to ap.
preciate the real needs of good school
and good teacher And they ought to
be not only willing if urged, but anxious
without urging. to supply such needs
within the limits of a reasonable discre-
ton.
Further. submit that there should moi
be too many of them. The law says
''three or siX", but three, if properly
chosen, are, it seems to me-, far better
than six in nearly every town in Yer
mont If six are chosen, three will gener
ally do the work. unless the usual analo
gy in such cases fails. With the smaller
number there is likely to be greater unan
unity, more readiness to listen to wis'
suggestion, and, therefore, a larger ac
complshment of results.

Our correspondence from the towns
of the county is unayoidably short this
week, owing to the storm. The mail
that should have come from the south
Wednesday afternoon would have
brought the news from the south part
of the county and the stages yesterday
morning that from Bridport and else
where on their lines. But at noon yes
terday there was no prospect OF any
mail from the south or by stage, so it
seemed best to print the paper with
what news could be had rather than to
delay its publication till such indefinite
time as the routes of travel should be
opened.

st. Johnsbury people are losing their
faith in the scientists. 1t came about in
this wise: The town has had almost an
epidemic of diphtheria this winter, and it
was thought that the origin of the dis
ease might be in the water supply.
Specimens of the water, taken out OF
the streams which supply it as we'll as
out of the mains, were sent to the gov
ernment chemists at Washington. Those
wise men find astonishing facts. One
is that the filters which the village put
in at great expense not only do not i'm
prove the quality of the water bat posi-
lively injure it; AID another is that the
