Spring Medicine

There is no other season when good
medicine is so much needed as in the
Spring.
The blood is impure, weak and
impovrished-a condition indicated
by pimples and other eruptions on the
face and body, by deficient vitality,
loss Of appetite, lack Of strength, and
want of animation.

opposed the public schools, they
would merely betray a brutal sell
tishuess and show that they are
totally devoid of civic pride, but
the poor man with children to
educate who votes against school
tax is inconceivaBly blind to his
own interests and 1shamefully neg
lectful of his duties.
Thomas Jefferson, the greatest
exponent Of Republican principles
that ever lived in any age end in
any country, was a believer in un-
'iversal education at the public
cost. III the words which follow
the Sage Of Monticello gives char
scteristic expressionto his views
on the subject. He said:
1.-THE object is to bring into ac-
ton that mass Of talents which
lee buried in poverty in every
country for want of the means Of
development. and this gives actis
witty to mass of mind which ih
proportion to our population shall
be the double or treble Of what it
lie 10 most countries."
Who, then, are more interested
in public education, than the peoS
pie who have not the means to
send their children to the univer-
stiles to be educated? Jefferson
had n abiding faith in the virtue
and good sense Of the masses and
he believed that al Mat was ne.
cessary to insure the permanence
Of the republic was system q
free schools which made the school
house accessible to every child
in the land. With prophetic vi
sion he said that the public school
would bring into action that mass
Of talents which lies buried in po-
verify" How we'll the history of
this country has verified these
words is known by every one who
has read the story of the republic,
for did not the Jacksons, the Clays
and the Lincolns come out of the
rude log-csbins to make the cause
of human liberty grander and
dearer throughout the world?-

The Public Schools for the
Poor.

.
We know several heavy tax-pay-
e5 who favor the school tax and
yet they have no children to edu-'
date. Why are they willing to
pay tax from which they will
derive no immediate benefits. If
We could search beneath their
coats we would find hearts as big
as lowland watermelons- men who
love their Kind, and while they
cannot enjoy a thing themselves
would love to see others do 90.
As the campaign progresses we
will give to the public the names
of these gentfemsh which will
prove that they have no pecunia-
ry interests at stake and are act
ing the parts of philahthropists.
-Marksville Blade.
1t 7s q fact that among the opp6-
nients Of every proposition to levy
a special school tax arss to be
found many persons who own very
little or no property. At the cleo
ton recently held in this town the
results showed that there were,
proportionateiy. more votes cast
against the school tax by people
whose taxes amount to very little,
than by those who have larger
sums to pay, As the poor man is
less able to do without good pub
lie schools than his rich neighbor,
this fact h, to say the least, very
strange. Yet it is not an uncom-
mon thing to see q poor man with
d house filled with children NOV
ing heaven and earth in an effort
to defeat q school tax. when he
knows that the public school alone
offers his sons and daughters an
opportunity to secure an educa-
ton. The school tax is paid by
people who have no children to
educate and by railroad companies
and other nonresident corpora
tions. II those. who are not the
direct benefcsaries Of the system.

Guilty Of Attempted Murder.

In Bennington county court last
week, Joseph Mears was convicted
OF attempting to kill Philander Moffat
of Sandgate.
The respondent was tried on two
charges, one of administering rough
on rats by mixing it with pancakes
with intent to injure. The other was
attempt to kill or murder by mixing
corrosive sublimate in a bottle OF
whiskey. The victim was seriously i'll
from both attempts. 1t was claimed
by the state that Mears was in love
with Mofats wife, woman twice his
age, and that she reciprocated.
The charge o. Judge Munson was
quite far, he telling the jury that they
could bring in a verdict for either
count. The extreme penalty for the
first is five years and for the second 20
years.
The jury were out several hours.
They returned a verdict of guilty on
second count. Mears was considerably
surprised as he expected a disagree
ment. The case was tried last Juae
when the jury disagreed. Thesentence
will be pronounced later.

ing gained a clear understanding of
this act, his next duty is to determine
to his own satisfaction how it would
operate, and to compare its probable
results with conditions as they now
exist. If, in his opinion, there would
be improvement in the moral and
material standing of the state, it is his
duty to vote Yes II, on the other
hand, he is convinced that Vermont
would be worse off under the law pro-
posed than at present, he should vote
mo" If he is still doubtful. as many
are likely to be, he will find himself
under the necessity of deciding
whether he should give the benefit of
the doubt to the new system, for the
sake of experiment, or whether he
should support the present law, as the
safer and more conservative plan to
follow, until some other course is open
that clears away the doubt.

We notice a tendency, on the part
Of certain newspapers favorable to
local option, to forefend criticism OF
this act about to be voted on. Their
idea seems to be that, inasmuch as the
act is labelled license and was
framed by those who believe in that
system, its details do not greatly con-
Germ the public; that those who sup
port the theory Of local option should
vote for this law without regard to
particular points in it that do not meet
with their approval, while the prohi-
bitionists are expected to vote against
it anyway; that if it is accepted and
does not work smoothly it can be per-
fected, as occasion requires, etc.

The proposed Vermont license law

piece more OF legal punk to the al.
ready big pile OF statutory dead-wood

anti-treating regulation is. and must
perforce be, purely visionary. The
statute might just as reasonably speci.
fly that the drinker when he crooks
his elbow must gulp only once to each

the referendum the first Tuesday Of
