without n Precedent.

The elections of 1894 have wrought
political revolution without precedent
in this country. Thirty states out of
the forty-four in the Union have elected
republican governors or other state
officers, by pluralities ranging from the
smaller thousands to 100000 in Ohio,
100000 and more in New York, and
some 100000 in Pennsylvania. These
are stupendous figures. The roll of re-
publican victories, from Vermont's
opening gun to the echoing response
hopeful answer from the South, is a
glorious one.
The political philosopher is not
needed to interpret the meaning of
these swelling majorities. Their sig
ni6cance is no mystery. In the ma
tional canvass of 1892 the leaders of the
democratic party buncoed the people
into placing the executive and legisla-
tive powers of the national government
in the hands of that party. By direful
experience the deception has been dis
closed, and the people have had the
first installment of their revenge.
The later returns enlarge rather than
lessen the magnitude of the victory.
It's dimensions appear more conspicu'
ously in the revolution in the house of
representatives than in the size of the
republican majorities for state officers.
The following table exhibits the details
of the sweeping change in the political
complexion of the house:

Sweet Sugar and Syrup.

To the EdttOr:-It is an acknowledged fact
that there is not enough Of the real product
of the maple made to supply the demand
there would be for it as luxury for the
rich, and that the price that producers OF
the real article would realize would be tn at
for which luXuries SELL If the market was
not supplied With so much bogus stuff. 1t
is safe to say that there is more Vermont
maple syrup made in the city of Chicago
than there Is in our own state. That this
conglomeraton of stuff should ever be
placed on the ma 'ket as maple syrup is de-
testable, and that this mixture, the ingredi-
ents of which are known only to the Lord
and the manufacturers, should ever be pre-
fixed with the name OF oar state should be
an abominatiOn to Yer monters. 1.-THE mar
ket," said one OF these Chicago manufactur-
ers, "calls for cheap maple syrup, and we
make IL for them. We have a capacity of
seven thousand gallons day of so-called
maple syrup, but there in't much maple in
it,; and there are several larger concerns
than this one in the windy city.
Is there no remedy for this state of affairs?
Ha, not our legislature the right to appoint
or direct some one or state official to copy
right the word vermont" as used on sugar
or syrup so as to make it criminal for any
one to brand package OF sugar or syrup
eve mont Maple Syrup" or vermont
Maple Sugar" outside the boundary of our
state and thus secure to the producers of
maple products in our state the exclusive
rlgnt 10 us5 WOru Jne value OF which the
manufacturers OF so-called Vermo maple
syrup know full well, and the effect their
using, we the producers of the genuine can
not but feel? Would not such provision Sc
cure to Us, the real Vermont maple pro-
ducers, pecunary advantage that would
result in raisi az the price of our products so
that the state would realize double the
amou at that the sugar bounty ever secured
! to us? Such provision would be perfectly
constitutional and would not allow the pro-
ducers of these bogus goods to market them
as ours. Our state laws provide against the
adulteration of our maple products, while
in other sta les no such obstacle is placed in
the way of those who desire to make dollars
out of anything that they can. SO 1t seems
that common Justice demands that the state
do all in its power to help honest men, or
else remove that which binders honest men
in competing with knaves.

Hold Fast to the Town System.

To the Editor:-From the reports in the
papers, it would seem that the town system
of schools is in danger of being destroyed,
uuless saved by the senate or by veto of
the governor. This system was adopted
after long discussion extending through
more than forty years. It may be laid down
as general rule, that when a principle has
been enacted into a law, which is approved
by some and opposed by others, it should
be allowed to remain until it can be known
with reasonable certainty what its merits
or defects are. Otherwise we seem to be
marching, but are merely marking time"
We are like children in swing, tossed to
and fro.
What do the opponents OF the town sys-
TEN intend to substitute for it? Is it the dis
trict system as it existed in 1892, or in 1888?
Will the friends of the old districts specify
what the privileges and immunities were
that are so valuable, that are not afforded
by the town system? The truth is, that the
districts, before the adoption of the present
law, had been stripped OF every power, that
was of any account except one. This school
report OF the SUPERINTENDENT of educ alton in
1892, on page 1913, says: The law of 1890
requires that tax of five cents on the dol
lar shall be annually assessed on the list of
the polls and ratable property of the state
for the support of the common schools. The
money derived from this law is divided
among the towns in proportion to the num-
her of legal schools, and equally among the
districts in all towns, except those having a
graded school, or town system, where IL is
divided like the public money. 1t will be
seen that there is to-day a seventeen per
cent school tax on all the property of the
state, and that a tax Of eleven cents on the
dollar is divided equally among the dis
trcts in nearly all the towns. The money
paid by the state and towns, with the in
come from the Huntington fund and from
other sources than the districts, am )unted
last year to S37l ,395.04. 1t is more than half
of the expenses OF the schools. 1t is nearly
seventy per ce at of all that was paid TO the
teachers. In this country the citizen is very
rarely taxed unless he is represented in
both the imposition of the tax and in the
expenditure of the money he pays. But
here neither the town nor state is directly
represented in the expenditure of this large
sum of money. Both are very greatly inter-
ested in having it properly used in the
education of the young AS we have seen,
the school district officers have been stripped
of nearly all their powers, except to handle
this money"
Since 1910, little by little, the school dis
trict, without much complaint, has been
deprived of the power () to decide on the
qualifications of teachers; (2) TO dismiss a
competent teacher; (S) to make the "teaoher
board around; (4) TO have the wood got
on the scholar; (5) TO decide on the length
| of the school; (6) or how the school shall be

graded; ~ or what measures" were "nec-
essary for the impro 7ement of learning ~:
(8) to choose the text-books (9) II the dis
trict Jailed to maintain a school, the see ,t.
men could establish one, and make the dis.
trict pay for 1t; U0) every healthy child be-
tween eight and fourteen was required to
attend school, without regard to the wishes
OF the district or parents; and I'D the
towns elected truant officers to enforce the
compulsory school laws. All these powers
had been wrested from the districts before
the adoption OF the town system, How
ridiculous, then, to talk about home
rule " in discussing this question
Our people should understand at once
that the education of the young is not a
local matter, but that the state itself Is most
vitality Interested Again / ask What
were the powers and privileges Of the old
districts? Their officers could take this
large sum 1911 ,000-paid annually by the
towns and state, and squander it on inefli :
Gent teachers, their own daughters, " and
sisters and cousins and aunts." They have
been deprived of this; and this, fear is
the great cause OF all their clamor. 1t is
not pleasant to assign bad motives to men,
but can think of nothing else as a probable
cause Tor attacking the present law I'm
der this law, the towns really pay all the
expenses OF the schools, and the teachers
are appointed by officials elected by the
towns This is just, and &C ,ording to
American principle and practice in other
matters Under the old law, the towns pay
more than half the expenses, but have no
voice in el4cting the officers to appoint the
teachers. This IS unfair, anomalous aud
against the universal rules of public transac.
tions in this republic. Again, l cannot I'M
derstand how any one, if he recalls the
monstrous inequality Of taxation under the
district system, can vote to re-estabish It,.
If this legislat ire is fated to destroy the
present school system, it is strongly hoped
that the members will act boldly and re-
peal the law, and not, like towards and
demagogues, leave it Opt NAL with the
towns. and thereby preciptate an angry
discussion upon the state that may last for
the next ten or twenty years. EF.P.

ocrats have lost 1874. In the fifty-third
congress the Illinois delegation of %
members was tied; in the fifty-fourth it
is soldly republican. Indiana had 2
republican and II democratic repre-
sentatives; in the next congress the
entire ID are republicans. Similar d.
visions and like changes occur in the
delegations from Connecticut, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, New Jersey, West
Virginia and Wisconsin. Kansas sends
7 Republicans in deleg alton of s; Iowa
10 out of II; Olio 20 out Of 81; New
York 20 out of 81, and the Keystone
state 20 out of 30. The old democratic
state of Missouri changes her delega-
ton of republicans and ID democrats
to II republicans and 8 democrats.
Rock-ribbed Texas old solid delega-
ton of Is democrats is shivered into
frag nents. The delegations of North
Carolina and Tennessee also show the
inroads made upon the democratic ma
iorities. In the now remote contin-
gency of failure of the people in 1896
to choose a president, it is interesting
to note the fact that in 2S states the re-
publicans have a majority of members
in each delegation. The student of
election results will find in the table
above many other matters of interest.
The wide rift in the solid South, as
exhibited both in the gain of republi-
can congressman and in the issue of state
elections, is one of the very gratifying
results of the late canvass. West Vlr-
ginia, Tennessee and Missouri have
been swung into the republican column,
and the democratic majorities in other
southern states have been materially
lowered. The econo mic issue has been
more effective proselyter than ma
tional election laws. Possibly the re-
publicans owe something of their splen-
did gains in the South to democratic
zeal and expedition in repeating those
laws. The republicans certainly view
with complacency the results that have
followed democratic partisan legisla-
ton

ment in the admin stration of the duties
of the office to which the governor,
with his usual appreciation of the re-
quirements of a good official, has APP
pointed him. The confidence that the
appointment inspires will be justi-
fed by the facts of Mr.. Bailey's adj
ministration.
A RESULT which is destined to have
a decisive effect on national elections
is the adoption, by the state of New
York, of the constitution framed by the
convention chosen for that purpose last
summer. BY the provisions of that
constitution, the governor is to be
chosen biennially in the even years,
and the mayor of New York city bien-
nially in the odd years. 1t is provided
that, in the case the constitution should
be adopted, the governor chosen at the
late election should hold his Office for
two years, instead of three, as under
the old constitution, and that the next
election should be held in 1896. In the
case of the mayor, ii is provided that
the official elected November 6 shall
hold Office three years, in order to
bring subsequent elections, beginning
in 1897 biennially in the odd years.
This makes an end of the massing of
national, state and municipal elections
on one day, with its opportunities for
cheats and frauds. National and state
issues on the one hand, and municipal
questions on the other, will be sep
arated, and each will have the oppor-
tunity for decision on its individual
merits. Uuder this new constitution,
the corrupt democratic element that has
dominated New York city, and from
that )igne of vantage has controlled
the state whose electoral vote has often
turned the scale in national elections,
will be shorn of its power. A republic
can executive and legislature, and re-
publican municipal government, will
undertake the task of purifying the
city, of turning political activity into
legitimate channels, and rendering i'm
possible the repetition of the scandals
the Lexow committee has been I'M
earthing. New York city is not likely
ever again to become menace to the
national government. Municipal re-
form has made beginning. The sem
timent of the age is against retrogres-
sion. The cause of good government
has much to hope for in the elections
of the future.

Protection Demanded,

There seems to be disposition on
the part of some people to triae with
the matter of the prevalence of tuber-
culosis among the cattle of this state.
Is it denied that the disease exists? Is
it denied that it exists to an extent that
justifies alarm and demands the atten-
ton of the legislature? Is it denied that
the existence of the disease in COW
renders her milk, or butter, or flesh, I'M
fit for human food? Any person that
denies the fact of the existence, to a
dangerous extent, of consumption in
cattle denies the evidence of his own
senses. If he denies that the prod lcts
of tuberculous COWS are unfit for food
for human beings, will behaving the
courage OF his alleged onvictions-sub-
NIT to being fed on such products and
prove the truth of his denial to the third
and fourth generations? No civilized
BEINGS convictions are equal to this
test.
That the disease exists, that the milk
and butter and beef of COWS affected
with the disease may breed the same
disease in the human family, aud may
often prove fatal to human life, no ra-
tional person can deny. The evidence
of this is as clear as the light of day.
Professional skill may be required to de-
termine the fact of the existence of tu-
berculosis in kline, but no medical expert
is needed to convince one that milk that
is the product of organs affected with tu-
berculosis, or butter made from the
cream of such milk, or the flesh of an
animal whose vital organs are in that
condition, is unfit for food, and under IA
voring conditions, will transmit to the
human consumer the disease that existed
in the animal. ave hold these things
to be self evident" If the animals
organs are rotten with the dis vase, a
condition frequently found existing,
and which was recently illustrated in
the hall of the representatives, the
menace to human health and life be-
comes appalling. The thought that
human beings are constantly exposed
to the danger of having the products of
such animals imposed upon them is re-
pulsive beyond the power of expression.
The public demands protection from
this menace to the general health. The
individual demands protection. The
legislature can give legal protection.
1t can make beginning, guided by the
light that science and experience have
shed on this subject. No one is asking
that a sweeping measure be enacted
and put into execution, but it is de-
manded that beginning be made-and
in dead earnest--to control the disease
and give the people the largest attain.
able measure of protection. To do less
or to do practically nothing, will be g
criminal neglect of the duties of legis.
| lation.
