Considerable controversy is being
waged at Leavenworth, Kansas, be-
cause a negro girl. daughter of Ex-
United States Senator b. X. Bruce of
Mississippi. is entitled to be valedicto-
rian Of the graduating class in high
school which has admitted pupils Of
both races. There could be no differ
ence Of opinion concerning a matter
Of that kind among the white people
OF Mississippi. Everyone would agree.
that among y class of white people
who would permit the education Of
their sons and daughters in q school
where negroes are admitted, that the
negroes are likely to contend for the
honors, and, il they win them, as
matter Of course, they should wear
them. 1t is nauseating, however, to
observe how white people who sane
ton equality with negroes will chew
the rag when q negro outstrips them,
vet in nine cases out Of ten, the negro
will bear OF the honor and that be-
cause the white people Of that class
are scarcely their superior.

BARRE GRANITE.

The Vermont Press boys took day
off last week and celebrated the close
of the recent strenuous campaign by a
oet-together meeting in Barre. Twen-
ty-fve members of the association
were present, including Hindley, look
inc none the worse tor his experience
with new piece OF political furniture
known as the Clement Literary
Bureau. In pursuance Of the general
plan OF the association to visit the
leading industries Of the states for the
edification OF the members. they gave
most OF the day mp to an inspection OF
Barre granite, covering its manutae-
ture, at the cutting plant OF Jones
Bros, and its Quarrying on Milestone
hill. They were rendered a special
train over the Barre railroad "Sky
Route" and every courtesy shown
them. What they saw and learned
will doubtless be added to the sum OF
human knowledge as II percolates
through to their readers in years "a
come.
Barre granite, and all who have
part in the laborious develop
ment OF it, deserve every fair encour'
agement from the press and people o.
Vermont. The industry was never on
better footing than now. \ pleas
ing feature is that all its different de
partments are in the hands of practi
cal men who have come up from The
ranks themselves, who know anc
have due consideration for those tina
still labor with drill and ehisel, and
between them there is complete sym
pathy. In few industries, too, hai
there been so even a distribution o
the returns between labor and capital
We see in Barre no granite million
aire monopolists on the one hand OF
the other a contented army of well
paid workers.

The Maine election, with its greatly
reduced Republican plurality, has only
slight national significance The
fight was over the Sturgis law, a
measure enacted by the last legisla-
ture, which puts the screws down
harder than ever before in the enforce
ment OF the prohibitory law, as well as
over the question OF resubmitting the
law itself, which is in the form OF an
amendment to the constitution, to the
people. 1t is clear that the trend OF
sentiment in Maine is following that
in Vermont and New Hampshire
away from prohibition, and the
'Maine law will ere long pass out. a
side feature in the Maine campaign
that had wider significance was the
entrance OF labor leaders to defeat
Congressman LittlCfeld, who has OPP
posed certain labor measures, and OF
those grounds. The attempt didn
succeed, but his majority was Gu
down more than three-tourths. The
effect will be almost as impressive OF
members of Congress as though
Littlefeld had been beaten. When la
Dor bills come up they will fancy theii
home majorities are slipping away
from them and will tumble into thu
procession for safety.

There will be no need of newspaper
homilies this year on the decline Of
the country fair and the causes con-
tributory thereto, nor will the move to
have the state back up such enter
prises by liberal appropriations get
very far, in view OF the splendid pat
ronage accorded nearly all of the Yer
mont fairs the present season. 1t is
no uncommon thing for 10000 to 10
600 people to turn out on a single day,
and the total attendance at some OF the
fairs has reached 80, 600 There is no
accounting for it, either. The exhibits
and attractions are of about the same
order as formerly, and really it does
not seem to be these things that draw
rather the desire of people to meet
aud visit with each other and mix with
the multitude-a peculiar trait of HUI
man nature. The fair affords the ex-
cuse and opportunity for the gather
ing. 1t may not be quite true, the an
swer made by a fair manager, who,
being asked what special thing
brought out the crowds, said, "Noth-
