CANADA's DEBT INCREAsING.-Th
Official Gazette shows that $10,5OO,-
600 have been added to the public
debt of Canada during the year end
ing September 80 The liabilities
payable in England increased nearly
$6,000,00O, while in the money the
government has been borrowing from
the banks by way of temporary loan,
there has been large increase. The
revenues from custom duties for the
past quarter show a decrease of 20
per cent as compared with the pre-
vious quarter, while revenue from ex
else declined over 10 per cent. Not
withstanding the declining revenue,
an increase is shown in expenditure
on account of revenue.

The attempt on the part of the
Democracy of New York to make
party capital out of an employee of
Levi P. Morton's shows to what
straits they are put for campaign
material. The ex-Vice- President has
in his employ young Englishman
as a servant, and the Democratic
leaders claim that because of this
the contract labor law is violated.
The law plainly says that personal
and domestic servants are exempt
from it's operations, yet has Secreta-
ry Carlisle ordered the arrest of the
young man, which will doubtless end
there. Brer. Dodge of the Burling-
ton Independent, who by the grace
of the Democratic party and Brad"
Smalley in particular, just now holds
the position of Inspector of immigra-
ton, appears to be the cat's-paw in
the case. We apprehend that the
versatile official will soon see, if he
has not already, that the movement
is a strong exhibition of cheap, very
cheap, politics.

1t is with exceeding sorrow that we
record this week the death of one of
the worthy and highly respected citi-
zens of Lamoille county-William H.
III. Bingham of Stowe. A citizen of
this county since its organization be
has gone in and out among it's peo-
pile all these years, held in high re-
gard by everybody. AS member of
the Lamoille county bar he showed
his loyalty to and love for it by con-
slant attendance at the opening
session upon every term of county
court with a single exception)
from the formation of the coun-
ty. He was beloved by all his asso-
GATES. While not prominent as an
advocate and very seldom appearing
before a jury, he achieved great sue
cess in settling cases by compromise
or arbitration, results most undoubt-
eddy beneficial to his clients. In set
Ting estates and in all matters of
trust he was faithful in every detail.

supt. stones Report on the SCHOOLS.

Supt. Stones Report on the Schools.
Superintendent of Education Stone
argues forcihly and cogently for the
continuation of the town system in
his annual report. He quotes census
| figures to show the increase in popu-
lation in the cities and large villages
and the decrease in the agricultural
towns. The descendants of the old
New England stock are the ones who
have graduated from agriculture to
trade and commerce, aud their sub
Stitutes on the farms are too fire.
quently those who are Indifferent to
educational advantages for their
children.
The evolution of the public school
system is shown from 1882 to the
present time. Up to 1850 all the ex-
penses of supporting schools might
be laid upon the scholars attending,
and from 1850 t. 1864 the expense
of wood and of The teachers board
might be laid on the scholar. In 1864
the betrayal of all school expenses
was by taxation; 1870, town sys-
tenn optional; 1888, county supervis-
ion; 1892, town system compulsory.
In support of the present law the
superintendent Mt says: "The common
good demands common support, and
justice demands an equal distribu-
ton of the burden. Our
smallet social unit in governmental
affairs is the town, it is the best ap-
Proclamation in administration of
school affairs. If the town
provides the major part of the reve-
nue. for the public shoots by an equal
taxation, it should also disburse
such revenue" The salutary effect
of the town system is already seen in
improved quality of teachers and
better work accomplished.
Concerning the normal schools, the
superintendent says: "Our normal
schools are endeavoring to fulfill
their mission, but are embarrassed
because they fail to receive from the
state such support and recognition
as is essential to tirst-class profess
sional schools. The state should
assume control and give unstinted
support. principle of administra-
ton demands state assumption of
control, and legislative measures to
that end should be enacted"
The perint9ndent favors a return
to the examination system provided
by the school law of 1883, and the
employment of professional superin-
tendents by the towns. He also ad-
vocatPs free textbooks, for which ex-
Gov. Fuller made a strong and con-
vincing argument in his valedictory
message.

There is a large amount of truth in
the following from the West Ran
dolph Herald and News
Vermont has the largest popular
branch in the Legislature of any
state in the Union except New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut. 1t is alto
gether too large, cumbersome and
expensive. The state cannot afford
it and does not need it. The ques-
ton is, though, how to get rid of it..
The House of Representatives
could be reduced one-t third or one
half and do business fully as well if
not better than it does now, and be-
sides all this would save the state a
large sum. The time is coming when
it will be done.

There is a great deal of Republican
activity in several states this fall,
and if the party does not make a
grand scoop" it will not be because
of a lack of Republican enthusiasm
and No. 1 Republican speeches. Pres
ident Harrison is doing grand work
in his own state; Mckinley is ingreat

talking sound protection to the peo-
pie of the northwest; and Tom Reed

than a big protection victory when

The Vermont legislature can get
great honor and glory to itself if it
proceeds to active business at once
and not let the important measures
wait until the tail end of the session
before they are disposed of. The ten
dency heretofore has been to wait
until toward the close of the session
before any very important business
was transacted. We hope this year
will see an improvement in this di-
rection.
