The Senatorial contest just ended
has been a memorable one. Good
men have been pitted against each
other for the important place. Gen.
Grout with his eighteen years expert
ence in the lower house of congress
had a strong desire to go higher
Judge Ross, with few months
experience as Senator, was willing to
serve still longer; c. A. Prouty, a
man of rare intelligence, was willing
to "heed the CALL" if there was one,
to serve the state as Senator, and
W. P. Dillingham; had long had a
desire to succeed Senator Morrill,.
These were all good men and the
selection of either would have been
credit and an honor to the state.
Tbe outcome is a happy one. Gov.
Dillingham; proved the strongest
man and the legislature has simply
ratified the wishes of the people, and
the other contestants accept the re-
suit gracefully. Vermont will have
an able Senator, and Senator Proctor
a faithful co-laborer, in Gov. Dilling-
ham. With these two men in the
Senate, Vermont's well-known pres
tige will be fully sustained.

Mark Twain comes back to Amer

He found himself years ago, after he
had passed middle life, or rather the
firm of which he was a member, found
Itself heavily in debt, and while he
was not legally responsible for the
state of affairs, he at once set about
the payment of the debt, which was
up in the hundred thousands. The
last cent is now paid and the many
friends of the great humorist hope
that he has made enough besides to
make him comfortable and happy for
the rest of his days. All of the large
amount needed to pay these firm OBJ
legations has been earned by lecturing
and unceasing literary efforts in
almost every country under the SUE,
and Mr.. Clemens, in the accomplish
ment of his great self-imposed task,
has furnished memorable instance
of American honesty and pluck.

Study of the Bible.
(Randolph Herald aud News. }

(Randolph Herald aud News.)
The ignorance OF the young genera
ton concerning that great work of
literature, history and religion, the
Bible, is shocking. The value of a
thorough knowlege of it, whatever
ones spiritual convictions, is unques-
tionable. How large a proportion
of our young people have read it
enough to acquire any reasonable I'M
Outstanding oft? The history of the
Greeks and Romans is familiar
enough, but that of the Jews is al
most unknown to very many who
call themselves we'll educated. And
yet the Biblei is the Oldest of all books,
the most generally accredited work
of literature in it's historical aspect.
True, the Sunday schools and the pa
rochial schools are doing much to
disseminate knowledge concerning it,
but they labor at manifest disadvan-
tage. Would it not be practicable
for our High schools to establish q
course of Bible instruction, with text
books free from suspicion of denomi-
national leanings, that would send
our young people into life better in
formed as to this great and invalua-
BILE work that has come down through
the ages? Such course should be
elective not compulsory, at first, I'M
til it had proven it's worth. In our
desire to divorce church and State
and to allow all the right OF religious
freedom, have we not gone too far in
ignoring entirely one of the funda-
mentals, viewed merely as a secular
subject? Few parents, we imagine
would object TO their children gain
ing a more intimate knowledge of the
Bible than they are now doing, which
might be impaired in the way we
have outlined, without offence to any
doctrinal beliefs.

has been at the head of the Johnson
Normal, he has labored faithfully

interests of our county-socially,
politically and religiously. He has
won the esteem of all and the repre-
sentative men of the county were
active and earnest in the desire to
see him promoted to this responsible
