The MayoraIty Situation

The uncertainty which has prevailed with
reference 10 the mayoralty situation in
Burlington during the past few days has
at last cleared away. both political parties
having placed candidates in the field. The
republicans have every reason to be-
pleased over the outcome. The remonima-
ton of Mayor Il. c. Hawley was received
with widespread commentator In all parts
of the city Thursday, and it is significant
that not 2. few of our leading democratic
citizens expressed their intention to vote
for him. This sentiment Is indicative of
the satisfactory character of the service
which cur present popular and efficient
mayor has given to our city during the
past year.
The situation was so well known that
when the time came to hold the democratic
city caucus Thursday night strong efforts
were made to prevent j. +. Burke's nomi-
nation as the party's candidate for may
or, various leaders holding that he was
simply butting his head against a stone
wall. A democrat informs us that great
difficulty was experienced in securing a
man to present his name to the caucus.
various prominent democrats III succession
having refused to perform that service,
and finally Mr.. Sutton who was to preside
was detailed for this purpose. Mr.. Sutton
was asked if he himself would not accept
the nomination and when his refusal was
announced. a prominent democrat said the
situation must be forlorn indeed.

assured an overwhelming endorsement at

falls with us. In the great blizzard of
March IL, 1855, In which drifts twenty feet
high were plenty in New York and other
cities, the snowfall in Burlington was
twenty inches, somewhat drifted but not
tremendously so.
Possibly the severest weather OF the
present winter LAY be yet to come. 1t has
once happened that the coolest tempcra-
turc of the season was experienced here
In the last half OF February. On the nth
of February, 1896. the mercury fell to--24.
and the next ~day-1Swas marked. the mean
of the two days being IS below zero. This,
however, was, SC far as is known. an uni
que exper1ence-the records of fifty years
showing but this occurrence of tho cold
est day of the season coming after the
18th of February.
Among the notable cold snaps Of former
years, at this point, were of January 10,
1859, when the mercury fell to-30 and Feb.
s, 1901, wher-S2 was noted, the lowest ever
recorded hore-and the mean temperature
of the day vast. In January, 1856, there
was a cold snap of -four days. from the
9Th to the Sth of the month, in which the
mercury fen to-24, and did not rise above
10 during The four days. Feb. 4, 1856. ther-
momcters marked-24 in Burlington.
The coolest temperature ever recorded in
Vermont was on January 6, 1884, when two
spirit thermometers in Barre registered
a temperature of fifty below zero, The
mercury did not fall below--17 in Burlins-
ton at that time.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY.
Yankees Not Able to Comprehend tn
Race Problem.
(From the Rutland Herald.)


We do not know what good can come
from the speeches that are being delivered
by United States enato Tillman in New
England. He is undertaking to show that
the Yankee does not comprehend the RAJ G
problem. Mr.. Tillman thinks he does. We
would not be surprised If both might be
taught something. The senator certainly
Is ready to shift the difficulty on his YAM
kee brothers, for he says: III you wish to
show your benevolence. come to our aid.
Take your own proportion of the negroes
and settle the question your selves. Yer
mont would be entitled to 1900. The South
can spare them, and l hereby offer to give
three niggers for every good Vermont Yam
kee that you will send down to U.S.
We do not Wonder that he Is willing to
give up the job of solving the race difh-
Guilty. He said to the good folk of Ran
dolph the other night: There are poor, de-
graded whites In the South. There are ne
grots that are superior to them i'm intelli-
genoe. Blu l tell you that the lowest
white OF the South believes and knows
that he Is the superior OF the best negro
that ever walked the earth. You people
know nothing OF the negro as he il. The
place to study him Is in the South, where,
In some States. he Is in the majority. |
VIII take the strongest negro lover among
you South. and If | do not make him a
good white democrat in three months
will pay his expenses, | do not defend
slavery, 1t was a damnable curse put up
on us by our f~athers-and yours. | rejoice
that II IL gone. And | would to God that
every negro brought from Africa had been
sunk In midocean before he reached our
shore! | do not hate the negro, | have
one who has been with me 30 years. He
has charge of my property and carries my
keys. ] trust him and would defend him
but he is no more fitted to vote thar l am
to read Sanskrit. Education will not solve
the negro problem. BY making the negro
the competitor of the white. you only in
tensify the race feeling"
We do not minimize the difficulties of
the race problem a bit, They are serious
enough, but we think that Tillman has
something to learn on this question. We
see more sense and less prejudice in a
speech OF Booker Washington than can
possibly be squeezed out of this quotation

The Oleomargarine Bill.

Gen. Grout Is reported by the Washing

margarine bill passed the House. a

A Fine Winter in These Parts.

Residents of this city and of this part
of Vermont hav had little occasion to
complain OF the severity of the present
winter. We are now i'm the last half Of
February, and in this city nothing colder
than five or six degrees below zero as
marked by the best thermometers, has
been experienced; and not one Of our cold
snaps has lasted over tw6nty-four hours.
We have had but eight separate days Of
below zero temperature during any part OF
the day, 1t is very seldom that we reach
the middle of March without having had
several days when the mercury fell to ten
degrees below zero, and without cold snaps
holding on for two or three days at a time.
The thaws, too. this winter, have been
Sentle, and Of short duration. We have
already had over sixty days Of excellent
sleighins in this city. ard as the storm Of
yesterday and the night before has added
five or six inches, 1t Is likely to last for
some weeks to come. 1t Is to be noted
that this last storm was a mild affair as
compared with the blizzard which raged
TO the south and west of us. and 1t viii

The people of Vermont as well as Lieut.
GOV. Martin F. Allen himself are to be
congratulated upon the lifting of the cloud
which has hung over him since the wreck
ing of the Vergennes bank ard the effort
of certain individuals to pull him down
with the rest. His numerous friends were
confident that he would be able to show
that he had been guilty Of nothing except
the placing of too much trust and conf
dence in the active bank officials, and the
admission of the prosecuting Officer that
at present no evidence existed which
would warrant a trial of the case by the
government, is dangerously near to com
plete ~vindication. MIR. Allen is right. how
ever, in seeking for complete vindication
instead of accepting a simple nolle prose-
qui from the government.

WHAT CARNEGIE PROPOSES TO DO
Character OF the Great Educational In
stitution He VIII Establish in

So. Mr.. Carnegie's projected institution
Will he the method through which sclen-
tihc investigation in any and every direc-
ton whore results valuable to industry
and helpful to mankind at large can be
conducted patiently, thoroughly, and ASST
duously. says Hon. Carroll d.. Wright in
Leslie's Weekly. Hd does not propose tn
create a university in the ordinary sense OF
that term; that is, where students can
matriculate, and with the accompanying
methods of curricula, classroom work.
graduation, and the comforting OF degrees,
but in a broader, grpnder and higher sense.
and perhaps in a truer sense, he has plan
ned a university where original work will
be the chief aim of the institution. 1t is
not to oe u teaching institution. but it Will
originate and conduct research in all mat
tiers pertaining TO science, literature, ana
art. and publish to the world the results
secured. When We consider that the de-
velopment OF science as related to indus
trial progress and conditions opens the
broadest field to original work by the in
stitution. the breadth OF Mr.. Carnegies
conception Is comprehended.
The methods by which this grand work
are to be carried out must be left, of
course, to the officers and committees Sc
lected by the board of trustees, but 1t will
be of the utmost Importance to keep the
Organization in touch with the very best
scientific spirit of the country and of the
world. II must at all times cement the
ties connecting the institution with exist
ing institutions OF learning, and 1t must
bring Observation-Disclosures scientific work
ers in all branches and provide them with
the Observation-Disclosures for practical work
whether these consist of laboratory, or lee
ture. or other facilities, bearing in nina,
as Huxley insisted, that literature and
science are not separate things bit two
important parts of the same thing
So the Carnegie Institution to be success
full must cooperate with colleges. univer-
stiles, and individuals, wherever anN When
ever such cooperation will lead to hene-
flcent results. Such an institution as that
projected cannot fail to have Il very far
reaching and stimulating effect upon every
legitimate educational enterprise, and in
this aspect 1t becomes the keystone in the
educational arch, one column Of which
consists of the great "mmon-scho work
of the country supported by the people at
large, and the other column Of the arch
consisting of all the institutions for high
er education. With they Keystone which
Mr.. Carnegie has discovered and given 10
the public the sympathetic chord between
the people and the universities Will be
strengthened. and the cause of all learn
ing encouraged, stimulated, and broader

Vermont Senators Endorsed.

Tho St. Adams Messenger has lone a
good piece of newspaper work by inter-
viewing prominent residents of various
towns with reference to the attitude of
Hon. Redield Proctor and Hon. William
j. Dillingham; with reference to the qucs-
ton of granting reciprocity to the Cubans.
In a few instances those interviewed de-
clined to express an opinion on the sub
ject, but there seems to have been a
somewhat general willingness to discuss
the question, and it is significant that the
position of Nermont's United States sena-
tors is fully sustained by the great ma
jority.
EX-Gov. anu f. Pingree of Hartford
seems to have voiced the sentiment of the
majority, when he said that II believe
fully in the doctrine of reciprocity. Cuba
ought to receive all the benefits that re-
ciprocity will confer. especially in her
present condition, and until her full in
dependence is achieved. The promises of
President Mckinley and of Congress in
1908 should be fulfilled" Representative
O'Neill of Hartford said From start to
finish l am with Proctor and Dillingham;
on the Cuban question: These gentlemen
seem to have voiced the sentiments ox-
pressed by most of those interviewed. and
judging from the utterances of the press
and of various prominent men who have
talked in private Nermont's United States
senators can feel that they are in full ac-
cord with their constituents as well as
with the administration in attempting to
secure simple justice for the long-suffer-
ing Cubans.
