AN ARMENIAN MURDERED.

London, Oct. 27-Ssgatel Sagouni,
president of the Armenian Revolution.
AIRY society in London, was murdered
in the suburbs OF Nunhead. The crime
has created a sensation as it has every
appearance Of being Of O political char
scter. and has been preceded by the
assassination OF other officials of
branches OF the same society on the
continent.
Sagouni, who returned to London
only yesterday, after settling up the
affairs Of an associate IN Switzerland,
who was recently assassinated by stab
bling, was entering his residence when
Q man rushed across the road ana fred
four shots at him in quick succession,
the last bullet entering the region Of
the heart. The murderer who appeared
to be a foreigner, fed. The only
clews to the man in possession Of the
authorities are Q felt hat and q silver.
plated revolver. which he dropped in
his fight.
The murdered man. who was .
mining engineer. became wealthy In
the Caucasus, and devoted his money
to the Armenian cause. His society
was entirely passive ana opposed to vi
oisnce, aud it is thought this attitude
inspired the advanced section Of the
Armenians with the desire for ven
geance. the latter claiming that Sa-
guoni's society devoted funds to chsfi-
ty which would have been better ap-
piled to violent remedies for the Ar
menian grievances.
Sngoupi is said to have moved to
England from New FORK early in 1902.

FARMERS IN THE LEGISLATURE.
History and Purpose Of Their Organisation
Told by representative Gale.


The farmer members of the late ses'
sion of the Vermont legislature inau,
gurated movement which may well
be, and undoubtedly will be followed
in every agricultural state in the IN
ion.
The influence of the farmers organ
izations, the grange, dairymen's as
ISOLATION, maple sugar makers, bee
keepers and fruit-grower's associa-
tions, ETC., has brought these progress
sive farmers to a realization OF the fact
that their greatest weakness Is in their
lack of organization, and nowhere has
this been so forcibly demonstrated as
in the legislature, where the farmers
have always held a majority OF the
votes, but have allowed themselves to
be outgeneraled without protest by
those who ofteptimes represented in.
terests in direct opposition to those OF
the farmers, or of those of the people OF
the state in general.
The Vermont legislature of 1902 Is
generally admitted to have been one OF
the strongest which this state has had
for many years. The farmer members
took an unusually active part in the
work, and this was largely due to the
encouragement afforded them by their
organ ization, which was perfected
early in the session.
About one hundred and fifty mem
bers were enrolled, none but practical
farmers being admitted; an admission
fee of one dollar each was paid in for
future use in the course of business.
Its officers were president, secretary,
treasurer, executive committee and leg
islative committee. A code of bylaws
was carefully drawn and adopted, and
regular meetings held in the state
house each week during the session.
Bills of special interest were dis
cussed, and plans arranged for intelli-
gent and united action. In these in
formal meetings ideas were brought
out and speakers developed which
would otherwise have had little or no
influence upon the floor acquaintance
were formed here which had vast eff
feet in the furtherance of common
cause, for all were united in the at
tempt to promote the farmers inter
ests. Within the organization there
was no partisanship, no corporate in
fiuence, no sinister motives Thus for
the first time in the history of the state
did the farmer member fully realize
his power, his parity with the strong
men of other vocations and professions.
This organization will be a perma-
nent one. 1t will meet at the state
capital upon the converting of the SEES
sion of 1904, when the newly elected /
farmer members will be enlisted, and /
to the new body the legislative com
mittee of the organization will present /
its report suggesting such legislation
as careful observation and study of ex-
isting conditions may seem to demand.
Thus the new organization will have
the advantage of months of careful
planning and will be able to proceed
in vigorous, systematic and effective
manner. Through this influence it is
believed that many of the evil condi
lions which now foster double taxation
If farm property, corporate exemption
from taxation, and other kindred
wrongs may be permanently removed.

desuetude,


Rev. M. Winslow Farman of West
field, the blind chaplain of the Yer
mont senate, has become a candidate
for the chaplaincy of the United States
senate. He has the support of Sena-
tors Proctor and Dillingham; and OF
Vermont people in general and is a
man of marked ability who would wor-
thily succeed the late Chaplain Mil
burn. Vermont would be honored by
him in Washington. Mr.. Farman was
elected chaplain of the state senate in
1902, the unanimous choice of both re-
putlicans and democrats. He has won
an enviable reputation in the lecture
field, being thorough student and an
effective orator, and Hon. G. S. Emery
of Chelsea says of him: II have heard
the late blind chaplain of the United
States senate officiate many times, and
/ do not in the least purpose to fatter
Mr.. Farman, when say that his work
in the Vermont senate last session was
fully up to that of Mr.. Milburn. Mr..
Farman is only 80 years of age and has
never married.

The Truth About Educational Fads.

uytulHS Is d Tau III Cedcuing WHetu-
er it pretends to be useful or only or
namental, from discriminating in the
kindergarten to child psychology in the
university, which is taught in such a
way as only to minister to vanity and
make a show, without adding to the
child's stock of useful knowledge. This
explains why so many things are called
fads in the public schools that are
highly valued in academies, technical
schools and Conservatives. Manual
training is not fad as taught in Pratt
and Drexel institutes to those who want
to learn it. Music and drawing are not
fads as taught in the Boston conserva-
tory and the Academy of Design to
those with talent for them. Greek and
Latin, French and German, are not
fads when their elements are not thor
oughly taught in academies or high
schools to students who are going to
pursue the study in college. But it is
rank faddery to spread thin veneer of
any of these things over the whole mass
Of public school children, without re-
gard to individual tastes and capabil
tiles, and without the least hope of do
ing any more than to tickle the vanity
of teachers, parents and children with
the senseless notion that they are get
ting "higher education" and accom-
plishments - When this false and SUI
perficial teaching is given at the ex
pense of solid instruction in the COM
mon fundamentals of knowledge, which
all children have the capacity to ac-
quire and all citizens require if they
are to be useful members of society in
any rank or grade of it, the error be-
comes more than foolish it is almost
criminal We can imagine a develop
ment of the American school system,
in which many of the things now called
fads will be taught to those fitted for
and DESTROYS of them in thoroughly
equipped and specialized schools, like
the European government copserva-
tories of art and music, some of the
best of our high schools and the free
technical schools foreshadowed in
premature experiments like the st.
Paul high school of mechanic arts.
That will set the mass of the schools
free to do thoroughly the work of COM
mon elementary teaching they have
come to neglect in the vain pursuit of
fads. This, after all, is everything that
the mass of the people expect or have
any use for. 1t is wrong to deprive
them of it for the sake of the few ca
pable of what are called higher things

A Bouquet for Superintendent Ranger.

Vermont is very fortunate to have so
able and efficient man as W. +. Ran
ger at the head of her educational
system. He is continuing the great
work begun by his predecessor, Mason
s. Stone. Some time since the COM
missioner of education in Porto Rico
asked for copies of the school regis
tiers of different states. A Vermont
register was forwarded. Last week
Supt. Ranger was notified by a letter
from Assistant Commissioners Lord that
the Vermont register had been adopt
ed in Porto Rico. This register, which
has recently been revised by our state
superintendent is now regarded as the
best in any state in the Union. Mid

A good suggestion for Vermont is of
fered by the Georgia legislature which
is wrestling with the question of en-
ploying convicts in road building.
This might furnish an answer to the
query as to what we should do with
our criminals if the death penalty were
abolished: might be quite as valuable
in the present state of affairs, when
criminals are sentenced and not ex-
ecuted, and might solve the problem
of how to make good permanent high
ways through the thinly settled dis
tricts

A Plain Business Axiom Disregarded.

The farmers of Lamoille county are
an unusually bright, progressive set of
men, but many of them disregarded a
plain business axiom and bought of a
slick talking stranger receipt for
making a calf food that was warrant
ed (?) ''to make 'em grow fast. The
stuff could be had at any drug store
for SC (?)" ETC., etc. 1t only costs 30
cents to put up and is not worth a
cent and those farmers are out from
81 to 81. 80 in cold cash, but much
wiser in experience. Moral, buy only
of parties you know Kick the slick
talking stranger off the plantation or
set the dog on him if he attempts to
sell you gold bricks, receipts or asks
you to sign any paper whatsoever. =

The reports of deaths and casualties
not Immediately fatal on the fourth of
July were saddening enough. Young
lives snuffed out, and host of survi-
vors blinded or crippled for life, made
up the burden of reports from all parts
of the country. But there is sad af-
termath to this harvest of death Lock
jaw, caused by wounds received on the
fourth from the explosion of gunpow-
der in one form or another, has result
ed in greater number of deaths than
occurred on 1.-The day we celebrate. -
Many of these we're in Boston and vi
cinity, two at South Norwalk, Conn.
ten in Cleveland, Ohio, thirteen in
Michigan. one within a few miles of
Brattleboro, and others in various
parts of the country. The number re-
ported so far, amounts in all to
more than two hundred. Add this
to the reports following the day itself,
and the total of death wounds and de-
struction of property is truly appall,
ing. But the next fourth of July will
be celebrated as the latest one was, with
similar results.

Grover Cleveland on Labor Troubles.

The article on labor troubles which
Grover Cleveland contributed to re-
cent issue of Golfers Weekly has a
special interest for the public both on
account of the vital Importance of the
question discussed and because of the
wide respect which is felt for the opin-
ions of Mr.. Cleveland.
AS might be expected, his treatment
of the much discussed and complex
subject is simple and convincing like
the few skilful strokes with which a
master artist expresses so clearly and
satisfactorily for us the vague ideal of
our dreams.
He alludes to the ''great volume of
academic disputation" which has OBJ
scured as often as illuminated the sub
ject and calls attention to the ease with
which individual disagreements have
frequently been settled by calm re-
view of differences before trusted in
termediary. ''No reason" he AYERS,
'can be given why such course can
not be followed with the same good
results when the dispute, instead of
merely involving individuals, is be-
tween organized workingmen and
their employers. This method, he
.says, though very simple and home
made, has for it's ingredients faith in
sure reserve of American generosity
and fair play and confidence in the
final assertion of American good sense
and conservative judgment. 1t should
be given patient and persistent trial,
because it is the only remedy within
our reach, embodying every effort ex-
cept drastic laws and force.
Any intermediary for the settlement
of these serious industrial disagree,
ments should be absolutely impartial
and disinterested and hold the unqual-
flied respect and confidence of all con-
cerned. Mr.. Cleveland further advises
the organization of employers to meet
the union of employees, believing that
this would facilitate the settlement of
disputed questions
There is no doubt at all that this
sane and respecting view of the
industrial conflict is the natural view
of every properly disciplined mind.
There is no doubt at all that the time
will come when, through the influence
of such thought, all the troublesome
problems of the world will be peaceably
and satisfactorily settled and strikes,
riots and war will fall into "innocuous
desuetude. ~

A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY
Blessing the New Altar in
TOnOpah Catholic Church

! The new altar which arried In Tono-
pah last week from Louisville, KY,
has been installed in the Catholic
church, and the ceremony of blessing
1t took place at a special ''Missa Can
tata" at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
The artistic design and finish of the
altar equals, if it does not excel, any
thing Of the kind in the state OF Ne
vada, the Miner states: The style Of
purely Gothic, with pointed arches
surmounted by pinnacles and embell-
ished at the corners with carved crock
cts of light walnut the entire struc-
ture being composed of this material.
The interior of the arches and ali un-
derlying parts of the protruding wood
work are finished in an exquisite shade
OF b lue, which. with a rich trimming
of gold, gives tothe structure a chaste,
yet highly ornate appearance.
The style and proportions of the altar
are in pleasing harmony with the
architectural lines of the church, and
when the latter, showing throughout
the natural grain of the wood, shall
have been stained and vanished. the
whole interior of the edifice will pre-
sent a pleasing blending of color and
form well worthy of admiration. The
altar. which was selected by Rev.
Father Butler from cuts and designs
furnished by the builders, Messrs.
Lausberg & Macke of Louisville, is in
every respect a model of artistic de-
sign and mechanical skill.
