The Monkey and the Cat,

The New York Sun makes frantic
appeal to Cleveland to come TO Hills
rescue. This is hardly the source
through which the president can be
reached. The Sun is mighty, but its
prayers will not nightly prevail when
addressed TO the deity at Buzzard's
Bay. Its invocations seem to lack the
essential element-faith-of successful
prayer. 1t appears to understand this,
and IT'S appeal is made, apparently,
more to mark the line of Hills retreat,
after the November election, than
with any expectation that Cleveland
will respond. Indeed, the presidents
active participation in the New York
canvass, on the side of Hills democrat
lied forces, would defeat the very pur-
pose of the SUMS cutlery. The Sun in
tends that Cleveland shall bear the full
responsibility for Hills foredoomed
defeat. 1t is preparing bed of Goals
for the unlucky object of its vengeance,
and he will find the SUMS November
couch no bed of roses.
From the all-beholding Suns point
of view, the only obstacles to Hills
election have come from the admins
tration. The chief of these are the
abandonment of the Chicago platform,
the creation of the income tax, and the
"poicy of infamy" in Hawaii and Sa-
moa, which disguised thousands of dem
ocrats. The Sun sets forth, on the
other hand, the services Hill has rem
dered Cleveland and the democratic
party in New York and the nation. In
this hour of Hills distress, when he is
valiantly striving to arrest democratic
rout and to check retreat before it be-
comes skedaddle, he has a right to
to look to the administration for all the
help it can give. So reasons the Sun,
but it knows its Macedonian cry will
fall on deaf ears; that Cleveland's help
will not be forthcoming. This just
suits its purpose. On the administra-
TONS devoted head will fall the respon-
sibiity for Hills discontinue. Cleve-
lands hand will be used to snatch
Hips prestige from the fires of over
whelmiDg defeat. For this the Sun is
preparing. 1t is the old story Of the
monkey, the cat, and the chestnuts.

Report of the Superintendent of
Education.

Superintendent Stone makes an in
teresting report of the condition of the
public schools and discusses the educa-
tional question in its various phases
with force and ability. The statistics
the superintendent presents, the sug-
gestions he makes, the reasons he gives
for the retention of The town system,
the argument for certain further pro-
gressive steps and for removing certain
distractions to the full, free and just
operation of the town system, must
command the attention and win the re-
spect Of members-and we can hardly
see how what he has to say can fail to
convince the judgment of any candid
person Of intelligence, if any has had
any doubt as TO the wisdom and desir-
ability of what is presented in this re-
port, in its bearing upon the matter of
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der.
The superintendent strikes the key
note for all legislation relating to pub
lie schools in the following paragraph
"The great truth that has taken pos
session of the popular mind within a
few years is that the large and ultimate
design and end of an education is not
80 much for self and family as for the
state and society-that education is a
common good" Here is great truth
succinctly stated If legislators keep
this guiding principle in view, and act
in accordance with its precepts, the
only difference among them can be a
difference of opinion as to the means 10

The Outlook in New York.

New York will be the Appomattox
of the democracy. Senator Hill fore
saw this when, in the debate over the
German tariff bill last summer, he
warned democratic senators that the
passage of the bill meant the loss of
New York and New Jersey to the
democratic party. Again the vision of
democratic overthrow doomed on his
vision when his party followers in New
York demanded that he lead them
into {" the imminent deadly breach "
through which they must march in
November. With the heroism of po-
litical martyr, he answered, Here am
l." All the outposts have been driven
in. The democratic rout extends
from Oregon to Maine. The party
makes its last aud desperate stand in
the Empire State. If that is lost-and
the democratic candidate for governor
has himself said it will be lost-repub-
lican control in the state may endure
unbroken for a generation Defeat will
be pledge amounting quite to GER
tainty that New York will be repub-
lican in the national election in 1896,
insuring the election of republican
president. Democratic hope and pros
poets rest on the result in New York,
and Senator Hill, in accepting the lead
ership, with defeat forestalled by cir
cumstances and in the face of his own
prediction that New York would be
transferred to the republican column
by the action of the democratic major
ity in congress, displays bravery that
commands the admiration accorded to
heroism even in a bad cause.
Evidence of Hill's certain defeat &C
cumulates. Through the operation of
other causes than those which formed
the basis of his prophetic speech, New
York will be republican this fall. Hill
himself will contribute to the fulfil
ment of his prophecy. His notorious
connection with New York politics has
aroused an antagonism among the men
of his own party that even the proverb'
ial force OF democratic party discipline
cannot restrain. The men Of his own
party who oppose Hill are in dead
earnest. With them, reform in politics
is sturdy purpose, and they have put
their resolution into the nomination of
a candidate for governor in opposition
to the regular party nominee. Everett
p. Wheeler is the man, and ex'Secretary
Charles S. Fairchlld is chairman of the
campaign committee, with such men as

An Imperative Public Duty,

If the legislature makes no other law
at this session, it should prepare and
pass measure for the eradication of
tuberculosis from the cattle of the state.
The public health is Ia the keeping of
the lawmakers and the executors of
the law. No more imperative duty in
this department of the legislatures
functions has confronted that body than
that of protecting the people of Yer
mont from this insidious and deadly
assaiant. 1t attacks human life at
every step of its march from the era
die to the grave. Its trail may be in
the milk the infant drinks and its poi
sou in the meat the adult eats. The
Legislature will be recreant to one of its
most obvious duties if it adjourns with
out giving this matter its most earnest
attention, and providing such means as
its best wisdom can devise for the effec,
tive protection of the people against
the consequences of consuming the
products of diseased dairies.
The developments of the existence OF
tuberculosis among the cattle of the
state, during the past year, have been
of n somewhat appalling character.
The effect of the disease upon the ami

stated that cattle and fowls are more likely
TO have this disease than are horses, sheen
and dogs. 1t il contagious, and one affected
COW, purchased OF a stranger, perhaps, may
give the disease to a whole herd. The milk
and meat from such diseased cows are posi-
lively dangerous to human life, as are
fowls, or the eggs Of fowls, 80 diseased but
the danger Of human infection from such
diseased fowls or animals by inhalation is
very small. The doctor smiled when asked
II he ever ordered glass of milk at hotel.
He replied emphatically that he did not,
and that the only safe way to use milk was
first to boil or steriize it. The process OF
cutting up this diseased liver was eagerly
watched by many members Of the legisla-
ture, and the sight evidently made deep
impression upon them. 1t will be indeed
surprising If bill is not soon introduced,
either in the house or senate, that shall EN-
body much needed legislation on this i'm
portant subject.

The State Flower.

The war of the roses devastated
merry England centuries ago. May
the war of the posies which eliminates
this week at the state capital be less
disastrous to this good state of Vermont.
What is this strife among the flowers?
1t seems to be fad of the times to
choose flower as the emblem of states
and nations. An attempt was made
few years ago to come to some agree
ment as to national flower. There
were so many favorites in the United
States, a selection of one from the
number appeared to be impossible and
the attempt was abandoned. The mat
ter was taken up by the women at the
Columbian Exposition. Committees
were to be appointed for the states of
the Union to manage the matter of Sc
lecting flower for each individual
state, and these, woven into garland,
should constitute the national floral
representative, as the individual states
by bond of political union constitute
the nation. This plan was adopted.
Mrs. Cornelia Drew Russell was chosen
chairman for Vermont, and she APP
pointed an assistant in each congress
sional district to ascertain the prefer
ence of the ladies. 1t was proposed,
we believe, to refer the selection thus
made to the general assembly for ratiti-
cation, and, in order to give force and
definiteness to the legislative conclu-
sion of this whole matter, it was further
suggested that the names of two or
| three of the flowers having the largest
number of votes should be so submitted
to the assembled wisdom. The candidate
for emblematic honors running the
gauntlet of these various processes of
selection was to bloom and exhale its
fragrance for the delectation of the
Green Mountain state primarily.
We are not informed as to the state
OF the canvass for the emblematic posy.
In general way we understand that
the daisy, the clover and the may
flower are leading their sisters in this
floral rivalry. The decision of this
matter demands elaboration. Senti-
ment alone should not be allowed TO
elect flower to pose as the represen-
tative of the state. The eternal fitness
OF things should be consulted in making
an election. Nativity, intrinsic merit,
and last, but not least, comeliness, should
have their proper degree of in
duence in determining the choice,
Beauty without merit should be dis
carded as a test of the quality OF the
flower that is to adorn Vermont's es-
cutcheon. The flower too @sthetic in
its tastes, so exclusive as to choose only
certain favored spots for its habitation

mails organs has become quite gener-
ally understood, either from personal
examination or from accounts in the
public prints. That there is nothing
mythical in these representations, that
they have not been exag yerated, the
members of the legislature had ocular
proof last week when DR.. Rich exhib-
tied to them, in the representatives.
hall, the organs of COW slaughtered in
Burlington. What man, charged with
the duty of guarding the most priceless
boon of the people of this state, after
that exhibition of disease and corrup-
ton, will suffer any one of his constitu-
ents to live exposed to the mortal peril
of using the milk, butter or flesh of
animals similarly diseased ?
The case exhibited by DR.. Rich is
not an isolated one. Its warning has
been heard from every part of Yer.
mont during the months that have been
passing since the danger signal was
hung out from the experiment station
at Burlington in January last. The
relatively few instances in which the
examinations have. been made aud re-
suits declared indicate, with fair de-
gree of certainty, what may be the con-
dition of health among all the cows of
the state, from the villagers single ami
nal up TO the larger diaries.
The owners of diaries are morally
responsible to the public for the purity
and wholesomeness of their dairy
products. The dairyman justly de-
mands from his grocer sugar without
sand and purity in all his purchases; he
demands excellence in the fertilizers he
buys, and, to protect him from impo-
sition asks that the state shall give him
a guaranty of the merits of fertilizers
offered for sale within its boundaries.
He rebels at false pretenses, or misrep-
reservations, or cheats in any form, from
which he suffers or is likely to suffer.
1t is assumed that he will wish to be
equally jealous of the good and whole
some quality of the dairy products he
sells for public consumption.
Many dairymen have displayed this
honorable spirit at great personal sac
rifice. They have invited examination
of their COWS and unhesitatingly
slaughter those animals which the tell
tale tuberculin condemned. But what
these men have done from moral prin-
ciple should become legal obligation,
binding every keeper of cows to sub
NIT to an examination of his animals
The public has right to know, and to
demand, that the man who sells him
milk has healthy cows; that the germs
of consumption do not Turk in the but.
ter or cheese he makes; that the deadly
bacillus has not poisoned the beef he
offers for sale. And the Lawmakers, tC

public this protection, if they are faith

goodfellowship, practical sympathy for
the suffering and unfortunate, his bust
ness talents, his integrity, and fidelity
to trusts, won him the companion
ship and admiration of the young, and
the confidence of his peers, who had
use for such man and were looking
for him. In politics a democrat, but
not bourbon, he had the unreserved
confidence of his opponents and was
frequently honored with important
offices by the dominant party. Had he
belonged to that party, the title he
