Pursuant to the call Of County Exam
iner George +. Morris, the towns of
Newbury, Bradford, Fairlee, West
Fairlee, Thetford and Williamstown
we're represented at meeting held at
Hotel Low on Wednesday, the 10Th.
The meeting was informal and consist
ed largely in asking questions. For
the purpose of organization, ex-County
Supervisor +. w. Goodhue was chos-
en- chairman, and Horace w. Bailey of
Newbury, secretary. 1t was thought
best or advisable to have the length of
the school year as near uniform as pos
sible, and 80 weeks was considered to
be about the satisfactory number.
State Superintendent Stone was pres
ent, as was also County Examiner
Morris, and impaired what informa-
tion they could. Supt. Stone advised
that all districts having a surplus of
money after paying all Indebtedness
hold that money by placing it at inter-
est subject to future legislation. As it
is evident that the law is silent as to
the disposition Of such money, this is
certainly wise advice. The following
resolution was presented and unani-
mously passed
RESOLVED, That the various
school districts in Orange County
hold their annual school meetings at
the time appointed by law, for the pur-
pose of settling all their respective
school affairs, and that the school dis
tIict clerks make records of the exact
financial standing of their respective
districts, and if the said district is in
debt, "a record Of the items making said
debt be made part of said record, to-
gether with an inventory Of all articles
Of personal property belonging to said
districts, and that the various district
clerks take census Of their school
districts of all persons between the
ages Of and u years.
The Importance Of all these require
ments is self-evident.

The Herald Excursion.

Enough persons have signifed de-
sire to have us run an excursion to the
Worlds Fair, TO make the excursion a
success. 1t only remains to be seen
that suitable railroad rates can be pro-
cured, when a circular will be issued
giving full particulars. In the mean
time, if you would like to go, send us
your name at once for there will be
room for only few more. The date,
about the 20th Of May, is the last date
at which an excursion can be run and
anything like reasonable rates be Sc
cured at any first-class hotel in Chica-

be advanced and, in many cases, dou-
bled so that if lower rates should be
obtained on the railroads, the cost of

any cut made. Remember,

One of the important bills which ex-
President Harrison had just had the
satisfaction Of signing is that compell-
ing all railroads to adopt safety car
couplings. 1t is to be hoped that this
will, in a great measure, do away with
the many accidents that occur from the
old-fashioned methods of coupling cars.
The railroads have bitterly opposed the
bill, but ii is needed reform and one
that we hope will do much good.

4. A Truly American Journal. "
From the New York SUM-.

TFrom the New York Sum-
The Tribune announces that by
actuel count, the bona fide circulation
of The New York Weekly Tribune,
all paii-up subscriptions for one year,
on January l6, last, was l73, 900 cop
les per week.
That is a very great circulation, and
The Tribune is justified in publishing
the amount as very interesting piece
of information. 1t is not necessary
for our nelghbor to make affidavit 10
the fact. The simple statement is
enough. If the word of newspaper
as TO such matter is not entitled TO be-
lief, its oath also is worthless and car
ries no weight with the public. The
mere circumstance that the publisher
of newspaper feels it requisite to
have some OF his servants swear to the
truth of his statements of its circula-
ton, is a confession that the paper has
the reputation of lying and everybody
knows it is as easy TO lie under oath
as to lie without an oath. A man
who can't get people to believe his
word, has the same difficulty in getting
them to believe his oath.
The Tribune is a square Republican
paper, and it owes its great success to
that fact. Never before in its history,
according to the general impression in
the newspaper world, was it more
prosperous than it is at the present
time. The people know where to find
it, and if they want straight out Re-
publican doctrine they go to its pages.
1t is not ashamed of the faith that is in
it. 1t is not pharisaical, and 1t is
without trace of AIugwumpery.
Most of its political principles are
Objectionable to us, but we honor the
courage with which it defends them,
and, most of all, we applaud its dis
tinctively American tone and character.
1t does not initiate the Mugwump
journals in taking brief from Eng
land and arguing against the American
side in all International questions.
The Tribune is an American paper,
edited in the American spirit. 1t does
not blush for its flag. 1t does not
present snobbish foreign adventurer's
hatred of the institutions and social
conditions under which he has thriven,
but expresses the true American pride
of country, now stronger and deeper /
among this people than ever before in
the history of the republic.
The Tribune is politically ont of
sympathy with the great mass of the
citizens of New York and its neighbos-
hood. 1t is the leading organ of a
party which is now more in minority
than it has been at any time before dur
ing generation past; but its truly
American spirit commands the respect
of all parties. Therein it is thoroughly
in sympathy with the public, aud at
this period that characteristic serves to
give it distinction in New York.
Hence we rejoice to know of the
of Tie Tribune, and we are
not at all surprised by it.
Beginning April lst, you can get
this paper, The Weekly Tribune and
the Rutland Weekly Herald, three of
the best sl.00 papers in the world. all
for only s1.50. This offer is only for
a short time. Do not tail to take ad-
of it.

The rush for office has begun, and
President Cleveland is already in the

already announced that he will fill no
offices until the terms of the present

President Cleyeland's action in with
drawing the Hawaiian treaty has been
severely criticised by both parties.
Yet we doubt not his action will prove
to be for the best. Since opposition
has arisent to the treaty, it is best to
send commission and find out def
nitely what the true sentiment OF the
Islanders is. This annexation OF Ha-
waii is not so much in itself, but it
lays a precedent for course of action
which, II followed, will in time form
the largest and grandest nation on
earth. The day may come when all
the nations on this continent will be
united in one grand federation. We
have no desire to bring this about by
war. But il will come of itself, nat
urally and peacefully, and, perhaps
even then, be but the beginning of a
still greater brotherhood. The pros
pect is boundless.

Senator Justin ). Morrill, is one of
the patriarchs of the Republican party
and one whose views ought to have a
great deal of weight. In recent arti-
Gle in the Independent on ''The Tenn
porary Exile of the Republican Party,
he gives his reasons for considering
our present defeat but temporary one.
In the first place, if the Democrats car
ry out the promise of their platform,
they will give us trial of the British
system of Free Trade, and rickety
currency, which, as Mr.. Morrill, says,
would, more than any argument,
restore the Republican party to the re-
spect and confidence of the nation. The
popular vote shows a large majority
against Cleveland, so he is minority
president, only receiving 81, ,466 votes
more than when he was defeated four
years ago. This shows clearly that
the heart of the people is still with the
Republicans.
MIR. Morrill, predicts that in coming
years the past period Of Republican SUI
premacy will be looked back upon as
the "Golden Age" Mr.. Harrison
may well declare, 81 leave this great
people prosperous and happy" and, IN
view of the coming horde, exclaim,
after me, the deluge !" During this
period of Republican prosperity,
greater growth of population, wealth
aud general comfort has been achieved
IN our nation than in any other. That
We offer greater inducements TO happI-
ness and prosperity than any other
country is shown by the vast throHg OF
emigrants that have been seeking our
shores. Our extraordinary increase
IN manufactures must be attributed to
Republican tariff laws. 1t seems sim
gular that just now, when British agri-
culturists are heartily sick of free trade
in the only country that has given it
fair trial, the Democrats should try to
force this bitter pill upon our people.
The low wages in free trade country
are sufficiently shown in the blue book
published by the British government.
There we find that the current wages
for agricultural labor are from thirty to
sixty cents a day in summer, and
twenty-four in winter, without board

There is to be meeting Of South

lynching ''bees" daily in some section
of the South, it viii be useless to ex-
pect to draw either people or capital

governors enforce the laws against
crime. Men do not fee from the des-
potism Of foreign monarchs to seek the
despotism of lawless mobs."
This may be true; at any rate 1t Is
worthy the attention of the Southern
people.

Two Brands Of Reformers.

One brand of tariff reformers thinks
that protection is bad, and that it should
be abolished. They think, though, that
as every change in the tariff unsett1es
business. it Is best not to shock trade
by any great or sudden change Of rates.
They prefer to reform gently, and to
scale down protective duties at the rate
of 2, 3 or per cent year, reaching q
tariff for revenue basis in 1905 or 1910.
Another brand agrees that protection
is curse, and that any change of duties
disturbs industry. They think, how
ever, that the quicker the tariff can be
reformed and protection abolished the
quicker will be the recovery from the
shock. If tooth is bad, they prefer
to have it extracted at one sitting rather
than at dozen sittings, in which case
the agony might be prolonged for two or
three weeks. They say also that if pro-
lection is abolished piecemeal that not
only will business be panicky for many
years, but that the protected manufac-
turers will fight each step with all Of
their power, money and influence.
Short, sharp action which shall remove
the poisonous fang of protection from
industry Is what is needed. Business
will then soon recover from the shock
and will thrive as never before.
