NO MILITARY TRAINING IN
SCHOOLS.

The Superintendent of Physical Gull
ture of the w. @. T. U. of the county
sends the MONITOR a lot of circular
literature, protests, petitions, etc.,
relative to a bill which has been in
PRODUCED into the Senate of the Unit
ed States, 'to establish bureau of
military education and to promote the
adoption of uniform military drill in
the public schools of the several
States and Territories" The title of
the bill suggests it's nature. The w.
@. T..U. people take the ground that
the schools should be used for other
than military education; that the
people should be taught the things of
peace, not war, and base their argu
ments on the peace idea. The Unions
will probably circulate remonstrances
and they will be sent up to Washing
ton by the thousands. This will show
the kindness Of their hearts, do no
harm, and probably do very little good.
Such things before congress are not
very potent. For further informa-
ton, circulars, etc. address Miss Mary
Scott, Craftsbury.

criminals provided only that they
are black men. This is the fund
anne ntal difference between northern
and southern lynchings. A prerequi
site for lynching in the South is that
the victim be a negro. ALI else is lost
sight of.
This, however, does not excuse
northern lynchers. But it does stop
the South from pointing parallels
which do not exist.-Statesnan.

The recent cold wave, like every
other of it's tribe, resulted in, or was
at least, accompanied by an unusual
number of more or less disastrous
fires. Some of them, no doubt, like
the terrible tragedy in Troy, n. Y,
were direct results of inexcusible
carelessness or stupidity, the great
cold only adding to the difficulty of
controlling them. Rut every turn in
the temperature more or less illustra
ties the unwisdom of certain small
economies. In order to save money
in equipment, the capacity of heating
apparatus is figured down too close to
the space to be heated. When the
cold is uusual in degree the apparatus
has little or no reserve capacity, and
therefore is driven hard to overcome
the exceptional condition, with the
result of heating past the danger line,
and starting fire where none is want
ed. 1t is always economy, not only
in this regard, but in respect of OPP
Grating and repairing expense. to Sc
cure wide margin between space to
be heated and heating capacity, in
favor of the latter.

The custom Of passing this office
around, or of electing a new man

and tends to greatly retard the pro-
gress of road improvement. A town
can i'll afford to lose the experience
which a capable commissioner has

sidered as valuable an acquisition in
road building as in any other line of

any man can build roads ceases to

important piece of work because the
money or time available during a

possible, and he could plan his work

MCKINLEY ON THE TARIFF.

Ex-Gov. McKinley's statement OF
his position on the tariff is frank and
plain, and the country can easily un-
derstand it. He believes in protec
ton because it is an American policy
essential to our prosperity and ad
vantageous to all classes of citizens.
The Republican party won it's first
national victory with a protective
plank in it's platform, and the general
declaration then made upon the sub
ject is still good enough, he says, for
all practical purposes. Since that
time, the doctrine of SO adjusting
tariff duties as not only to provide
sufficient revenue for the support of
the Government, but also to encour-
age the development of Industrial in
terests and secure liberal wages to
the workingmen has been abundant
ly justified by results; and the argu-
ment for it's continuance rests upon
accomplished facts. Our situation
with regard to other nations is such
that we can not yet successfully COM
pete with them in many forms of in
dustry and enterprise, and it is our
right as we'll AS our duty to overcome
these drawbacks with the kind of a
tariff that equalizes conditions and
gives domestic labor and capital
fair chance. That is what protection
means, and Mckinley is right in say
irr n 10 frr 1x10 fol oh cd
ciple of the Republican party.
eve are not now contending," he
goes on to say, ''for any particular
tariff law, or laws, or for any special
schedules Or rates, but for the great
principle-the American protective
policy the temporary overthrow of
which has brought distress and ruin
to every part of our beloved country"
He does not undertake to predict
what the next Republican tariff bill
will provide, so far as details are con-
cerned. 81 can not tell you what the
rates will be-" he says, "but they
will measure the difference between
American and European conditions,"
which is to say that they will guard
our markets against invasions to the |
injury of our laborers and our sources
of production and prosperity. The |
adjustment of tariff duties is at all |
times a complicated task, in which |
circumstances have to be |
carefully considered, and different |
rules have to be applied to different
features of the case. It IS not at all
likely that if Mckinley were framing
another tariff bill to-day he would
strictly follow the lines of the one
that bears his name. He says as
much in stating that he can not tell
what the rates will be when the Re-
publicans resume control of the gov
That is question to be
at the time of taking ac-
ton upon the subject. Some duties
will be raised, and some will be low
cred, it is likely, as shall then seem
to be most conducive to the general
and most consistent with the
general idea of protection; and the
next President will be a man fully
committed to such policy, no mat
ter what State he halls from.

IN EXAMPLE FOR Us,

The Canadian minister of finance
will ask the Dominion Parliament, it
is said, to make loan-for that is,
practically, what it would be-of 49,
OOO,0O0 for improving the equipment
of the militia and strengthening the
defences of the Dominion by the pur-
chase of 10000 magazine rifles and
several heavy field guns. 1t is not
considered wise to put any money in
to permanent Notifications, but to de-
pend on such means as above indicat-
ed for ''hasty defences against inva-
sion until aid could be sent from Eng
land" And who but the United
States would invade Canada in any
contingency? Nobody of course. No
other nation would even look at Can
ada in the event of war with Great
Britain, so these ''defences" are to be
used against us if against anybody.
Nor have we the last reason to COM
plain. 1t is Canada s right and duty
to provide for her own defense as far
as possible. Our first concern with
such fact is simply to observe it and
shape our own course in accordance
with it. If we should by bad fortune,
be plunged into a third war with Eng
land, the very first step dictated by
prudence would be to protect our
own most populous region by taking
military possession of. the Dominion
without the loss of an unnecessary
hour.-TrdUeIer.
The New Orleans Picayuate finds
text in the recent lynching of a brute
at Sullivan, ILL.,, and breaches a SER
mon to the effect that ssthe people of
the northern states are no more leni-
ent with ravishers than are those Of
the South, and the fact is full OF sig
nificance
This assertion contains but half
truth-or, to be correct in the frac-
ton, a hundredth part of truth,
since southern lynchings outnumber
northern lynchings in at least that
ratio. A lynching at the North is
rare Occurrences: in the South it is an
almost daily happening. And in the
South, moreover, lynchings are not
