The Florida legislature has passed the
following act, known as the Sheats law
because it was originated by the Super
intendent of Public Schools, whose name
is Sheats:
Section l. 1t shall be penal offense
for any individual, body or inhabitants,
corporation or association, to conduct
within this State any school OF any grade
public, private or parochial, wherein
white persons and negroes shall be in
structed or boarded within the same
building, or taught in the same class, or
at the same time by the same teachers.
Section II. Any person or persons vio-
lating the provisions of Section ! of this
act, by patronizing or teaching in such
school shall, on conviction thereof be
fined in a sum not less than $50 nor
more than $500, or be imprisoned in
the county Jail for not less than three
months nor more than six months, for
every such offense.
The law is aimed especially against a
private school established by the Ameri-
can missionary association and chiefly
supported by Northern benevolence. An
other purpose of the law is to deprive
counties having large negro population
OF the school fund, in order that those
counties whose school population is! com-
posed largely of white children may re-
ceive larger benefits. Representative
Southern men are constantly protesting
that they have nothing but the kindest
feelings for the negro, and wish him well
in everything but politics. But here is
an attempt, and in state too that has
received considerable Northern emgra-
ton, to deprive him of the opportunity
of becoming educated and thereby i'm
proving his condition. Sometimes the
Southern whites act as if they were
afraid of the competition Of the men they
are accustomed to stigmatize as belong
ing to an inferior race, and dare not give
him fair chance.

1t is quite serious question whether
any real good ever comes from sporting
competition between England and the
United States. There is always a good
deal OF bad feeling engendcred by inter-
national contests and it is a question
whether much else is done. True there
has been a wonderful Improvement in
small sailing craft since the America
brought over that famous cup forty-one
years ago. but after all the type of boats
built expressly for the cup contest would
be of little use for pleasure or anything
else and no one but a many times mill
iouaire would think of owning one OF
them. Our friends across the water are
persistent in their efforts to win back the
cup which has so long been held here and,
of course, we are proud of having been
able to retain it so long, but it would be
more creditable to us as a nation il, in
stead of merely demonstrating our abil-
ity to build the fastest racing yachts in
the world, we should enter into compe
tition for at least a small share OF the
worlds carrying trade on the high seas.
Let's have some commercial steamship
building. That would do more than any
other one thing to set America in the
proper light before the nations of the

The Coming Reunion of Legislators.

The reunion of members and ex-mem-
bers of the General Assembly of Vermont,
to be held at Montpelier October and 3,
promises to be great success. The ar.
engagements for the meeting are practi-
cally completed and the formal invita-
tons to all living legislators whose adj
dresses are known were sent out this
week. 1t is estimated that there are fully
1000 ex-Senators and Represent atives
now living, many of whom reside in
other States. The addresses of $500
members were obtained for the first re-
union, held i'll 1885, over 1000 of whom
were present. The Executive Committee
appointed at the last session OF the Leg
islature to make arrangements for the
second decennial reunion met at Burling.

The committee on transportation re-
ported that the railroads of the State
would carry members and ex-members of

were some expressions Of distrust and
dislike Of the present National Admins

that not word or syllable was any

suggested IN the slightest degree feeling

North and South, who once were open
foes are now open friends. The only re-
sentiment which the old soldiers of the
Union have manifested has been towards
their sneaking enemies, the ancient cop
perheads, some of whose venom still lin
gers in this land, and even seems to have
infected high officers of the Federal Gov
ernment. So far as Union and Conieder-
ate veterans are concerned. the war was
long since over, but it is not so with the
wretched towards who skulked in the
dark and sought to stab the Union Army

uniorgiving in their vindictiveness. 1t is
creatures like these who have raised the
cry of "beggar" against the Northern
soldier, and have inspired of late years
new war OF persecution on him from the
very capital which he riskcd his life to
defend from its assailants.
THERE'S nothing more craven, base and
utterly contemplate in the whole history
of this century than the campaign of
abuse and robbery which has been waged
by narrow and malignant politicians in
Washington since March 3, 1898, against
wounded and disabled Union veterans
whose declining years were being eased
by the bounty of their grateful fellow
countrymen. BY its treatment of the
pensioners the present National Admins
tration has run up fearful account, to
be answered for at the bar of justice.
What if the Grand Army has sometimes
resented the insults, and injuries to which
| the pensioners have been subjected
What if it has sometimes directed its re-
sentiment even against the President OF
the United States? These old soldiers are
human; they have been aggrieved and
angered beyond endurance; tits perfectly
natural that they should demonstrate,
and who can really blame them for strik-
ing back?
The fame OF the veterans is secure.

for the verdict of history to give them their
due place, and to shrivel up their mali.

A Clever Capture.

1t will be remembered that in August
Mr.. Schoffs store in Canaan was bur
glarized, and suspicion fell ona man who
went by the name of Drew, Moody and
other aliases. Mr.. Schoff sent out intor-
nation to various sheriffs, and among
Others to Sheriff Suloway of Caledonia
County, who in turn notified his depu-
ties. The result we copy from the Lyn-
don Union:
Thursday last James Virtue, of Water
ford, who was in Barnet. met a man who
answered the description in the notice,
invited him to ride, and let him out at
the foot of the mountain where the road
leads to Albert Hcath's. Virtue then
proceeded to Deputy Lindsay's, and the
two hurried back to HcathS, where the
man was found, arrested, and taken to
Mr.. Lindsay's, who gave him dinner,
After the feast the man got away, but
tions of Lindsay's cowhides. He then
handcutfed him, got man to help take
him to St. Johnsbury, but at the foot OF
the Plain hill the man got away the sec
ond time. ran as far as Mark Russell's,
when the cowhdes overlook him again.
He was lodged in Jail and Lindsay
breathed easier. The jailor, Sulloway,
searched him, found a wallet containing
$40 gold piece, some change, a ladies'
ring, and ladies pin with Darling" en-
graved on it. He then notified Schof,
who appeared Friday, identified the ring
and pin as articles left in his shop for re-
pairs. Sheriff Sullowav then went for
the man, who at last owned the theft
and told him the goods were deposited
i'll Monroe. SullOway went to the place,
beside the road half mile above Mon
roe Plain, and found a box buried under
some rocks containing 80 watches which
came from Schotfs, dozens of spectacles,
part Of which were recognized by 0. b.
Cutting, whose store in West Concord
was burglarized the Goth of July. The
box belonged to Cutting. 1t contained
also $50 coppers which came from man
named Vashaw, near Canada, whose
store, on the boundary line, was burglar
lied the same night Schoff's was. The
coppers, SIS in bills. and lot of small
coin were taken from this store. When
he next interviewed Moody Sulloway
stripped him and found SCI in the toe of
one of his boots. On Saturday he was
taken to West Concord and from there
to Guildhall, where he was lodged in Jail
to await trial The man is wanted in
Lebanon for stealing horses. He has
served 10 years i'll States Prison, being
sent from Montpelier tor house-breaking
and passing counterfeit money. His
term expired some two or three years
ago, since which time he has been quite
busy in various enterprises of his kind.

While manufacture industries are un-
doubleday in much better condition than
year ago, while labor is generally bet
ter employed and at somewhat better
wages, and while there are very encour-
aging symptoms in the general business
situation. there is little sign of improve
ment in agriculture, especially in the
West. The corn crop, to be sure, is ex-
ceedingly abundant, but the price is so
low that it is doubtful if the farmers real
ize as much for it as for last years much
smaller crop. But the wheat crop is not
only short but the price is exceedingly
low. The estimate of the department of
Agriculture places it at 0O,OOO.OOO
bushels, which is more than 2OO,OOO,OOO
bushels less than 1891, while the price is
far below the price of that year. And
while there is scarcity and low prices at
home there is abundance abroad. The
crops in France, Italy, Germany and
Russia are reported to be excellent.
Hence there is little hope that there will
be any demand for American wheat
abroad sufficient to raise it's price
Whether permanent prosperity is posi-
BILE in this country while the staples of
agriculture remain at as low figure as
now is serious question. Agriculture is
the chief basis of American prosperity,
and with that depressed it may we'll be
doubted If other industries can long re-
main prosperous.

The Grand Army and Its Foes.

From the Boston Sunday Journal and
published by request There is deep
and pathetic significance in the fact
which was brought out at the National
Enc ampment of the Grand Army in Louis
vile last week. that in spite of all the
earnest efforts to keep the ranks full. the
membership of this noble organization is
now steadily dwindling. Some of the de-
crease of the past year, which brought
the number of members in good standing
down from 81 ,555 to 357, 956, was un.
doubtedly attributable to the suspension
of host of poor veterans who we're un-
able because of the hard times to pay
their dues, but another and still sadder
cause is the increasing mortality. The
iight-hearted boy of 10 or 20 who en-
listed in 1851 has now long passed his
physical prime and is beginning to feel
some of the infrmites of advancing
years, and many-very many--of the OIL
der volunteers have reached their allotted

strength or the buoyancy to attend these
annual reunions. The death rate in the
Grand Army has sharply advanced from
Oe3 in 1886 to 200 this year, and the
ranks are thinning so fast that in some
departments the consolidation of the
smaller posts has become an urgent ques-
ton.
These facts and figures should serve to
allay the savage animosity which has
been entertained toward the Grand
Army by some of the cheaper politicians
of one of the political parties in this
country. The organization cannot in the
very nature of things continue for many
years to provoke their ire or to be the
victim of their malevolence. Before these
evidences Of the fast-lessening numbers OF
the veterans. the voice of vicious Islander
should be dumb. While these men live
and walk among us. even their haters in
this nation which they saved should be
willing to grant them at least the small
courtesy Of silence.
In some circles--circles where there pre-
walls the textile fabric estimate of patrio-
tism--the old soldiers are being bitterly
