night Attraction.

The attraction at the Academy of Music
tonight is one full of music. melody and
pretty girls. 1t is, when Johnny Gomez
Marching Home"
The music Of Strange and EdwalG's
new patriotic comic opera, When Joh1ny
Comes Marching Home that will be pre-
scented at the Academy OF Music tonlgh>
by the Whitney Opera Company, has al
ready become vastly popular even iE
cities where the opera has not yet been
! heard. Among the songs that have e~-
tablished themselves as prime, popular
favorites are, MY Own United States
Good Day. Yankees Years Touch Not
The Heart" My Honeysuckle Girl" L
coon song. Another song that is consist,
cred by many as the gem of the opera Is
Katie, My Southern Rose, sung by
Johnny first with the male chorus and
later by the combined chorus of boys arc
girls. The business in this song with the
| girls nodding and Decking in the quaint
costumes Of forty year ago, undoubtedly
has much to do with lis success The
! great charm of "When Johnny Comes
Marching Home" and the hold that II
undoubtedly has taken on the popular
mind, is probably the result of the origin
al treatment in the score of familiar
themes. A statement that seems par@-
| doxical and is yet true Then too the
scenic environment is picturesques and
satisfying and the costumes are unde-
niably novelty and an altogether pleas
ing one to the present generation, what
ever may have been the past.

a Most Excellent Suggestion.

"The Monday Evening club up in East
Berkshire has hit upon an idea that
similar organizations in every part of
the state might initiate with profit
This club has taken up systematic
study of Vermont and at meeting held
last week the programme included such
topics as Vermont Politics. Vermont
Industries and Institutions, Current
Events John G. Sake, etc The even
ing was varied by readings from dan
Wis Folks and Saxe's poems. Such a
programme as this contains much that
is interesting and valuable to Yer
monter. Too many of our literary,
and kindred clubs delve deep into the
lore of other ages, and in fancy wander
about the stone heaps of Egypt or sail
the streets of Venice with the pictur-
esque gondolier forgetting all the while
that Vermont has remarkably fasclnat-
ing history and present that is full of
interest" says the Montpelier Watch
man. vermont has produced or nour-
ished scores of men and women whose
lives are entirely worthy of study, and
there is scarcely rod of ground in the
whole state that does not bear some
interesting connection with her history
Green Mountain boys and girls of al
ages would find it helpful to be familiar
with these things, and how much more
sensible it would be, and how mucl
more genuine profit would be derived
if, before exploring fields that can be-
reached only by the imagination, Yer
monters would take a few little jour
neys nearer home"

The first number of the Vermont
Union Signal, the official organ OF the
labor unions of Vermont was received
Saturday. 1t is a handsome twelvepage
paper, printed on book paper, and one
of the handsomest weekly publications
in the state. There is certainly prom
ising field in this state for such paper
and we believe it will not only be
great success financially but will serve
to unite the brotherhood of labor and
bring its members into closer union.
Such paper rightly conducted can be
power for good in Vermont and we ex-
tend the glad, fraternal hand and wish
it all success. This number contains
fine portrait of w. II. Lawrence, the
representative of Rutland in the Gene
raj Assembly and one of the best repre-
sentatives that city ever had.

Malicious Political Gossip.

One of the greatest evils of the day
is the growing disposition to criticise
public men and especially public officials.
SO great has this become that many
of the best and most capable men in the
state absolutely refuse to allow their
names to be used as candidates and it
often leads them to refuse even unani-
nous election to some important office in
which their ability and business training
would be of great value to the tax
payers.
When it comes to this, that men
whose integrity and ability is above par
outside the state, and whose credit is
good for an unlimited amount in the
great commercial cities of the country,
are assaulted because of some little
matter in town or village affairs that
the public does not fully understand, it
is time to call halt.
The state, the town and the village
needs the services of its most successful
business men, men who have made a
success of their own business.
These are the men who would make
a success in public Office. These are the
men whose management of public
affairs would insure the careful,
iudicious and economical expenditure of
the taxpayers money. The Swanton
Courier thus refers to this great evil:
"The custom of malicious maligning
of municipal officials is lettering some OF
the best men in town from accepting
office. The situation is serious when
the men best qualified to manage
municipal affairs can not be induced tC
submit to the calumny that is certain to
follow the most conscientious admins
tration of the duties Of an office.
The Courier does not wish to bt
understood as preaching against homes
criticism. That is perfectly proper anC
is certain safeguard upon our public
officials. But it is the shameless lying
and mud throwing that often time
goes so far as to involve members of al
officials family that should be stopped
The most gross misinterpretation j

of the tax payers and the most trivia

deliberate falsehoods. All this, min'

munity will lend color to their de
famations that will deceive those VIII

! matters.
The Courier honestly believes tina
this is the most serious drawback in tn
efficient administration of municipa
affairs that Swanton has to conten
with and that just so long as it continue
3 we must pay the penalty of having GU
offices filled with inferior men.

Montpelier has lost valu bic public
servant and the state good citizen in
the death of Joel Foster, superintendent
of its water system, February 10. He
was plain, common-sense man, who
thoroughly understood his business and
always arrived at the best results at the
minimum cost to the people. He super
intended putting in the water system at
Randolph, and brought it within his
first estimate of 100000 an estimate
which was from $4,000 to SIS, 900 under
those of outside parties who cared less
for the taxpayers.

Col. j. II. Brigham of Ohio, the
assistant secretary of agriculture at
Washington, who has been addressing
farmers meetings in this state, believes
there is great future in store for the
people of Vermont His duties carry
him to all sections of the country and
he knows whereof he speaks. He says
in an interview that he is confident that
there is a bright outlook for Vermont
farmers. He voices the opinion often
expressed in these columns to the effect
that the increased price of land in the
west has brought about a condition of
affairs so that the man with small
capital can make more money in the
east than he can in the west. He says that
the department of agriculture is con.
stantly making discoveries of interest tC
farmers, and that the residents of this
part of the country are readily adopting
the methods which result from these
discoveries.

The pay roll of the Vermont Marble
Co., at Proctor, was over $4,000 for
January. Think what that means to
town. Then think of the hundreds OF
undeveloped marble, granite and slate
quarries in Vermont. Young men learn
the details of this business thoroughly
and your knowledge, combined with
Vermont capital will make score of
towns to grow like Proctor, Hardwick,
Barre or Mortified. Young men, stay
in Vermont and help keep Vermont cap
ital here. The state needs both.

The Waterbury State Asylum.

There is crying and immediate
demand for a thorough investigation of
affairs at the state asylum for the insane
at Waterbury. 1t should be made at
once. If the superintendent and trustees
do not demand it, in justice to them
selves, Gov. Mccullough should insist
upon it. This institution has before
been found to be inefficient and rotten
in its management and while repetition
of the condition may not be found now,
the public are at least entitled to know
the truth. An investigation should be
made that will sift the affairs of this
asylum to the dregs and lay them out
in the sunlight of publicity The death
of the aged Mrs Sarah Bennett a day
or two ago is attributed to a scalding
received Through the carelessness of a
! nurse" Has that nurse been suspended
pending an investigation? If not, such
action should have been taken. Vermont
has suffered enough disgrace from mis-
management of the Waterbury asylum
and it should not permit even a breath
of suspicion against it to exist. For an
enlightened and cultivated state like
Vermont to have mismanaged retreat
for the most unfortunate people on
earth would beinexcusably inhuman
1t should not permit it to be even under
suspicion. The institution was not
under suspicion when such honest and
capable men as f. =. Gibson of Rutland
compose d its board of trustees. Mr.
Gibson should have been retained on the
board. If he had there would be ne
odor in the direction of Waterbury to
day. Investigate and probe to the
bottom. Rutland Daily News.

1t surely looks as if an investigation,
and a very rigid one at that, ought to be
made into the management of affairs at
Waterbury Asylum. Vermont cannot
afford to have any stigma attached to
the management of any of her public
institutions, above all her insane asylum.
