President Buckham Passes.

All Vermonters impelled with one ac-
cord to recognition Of the status that
the old Green Mountain state has erect
ed and maintained for itself will agree
that IN the passing of DR.. Matthew
Henry Buekham the state has lost an
ardent and practical public servant as
an educator. DR.. Buckhams cholastie
reputation was what might easily have
been expected of a man whose life work
was devoted to the educational uprear-
ing OF the youth of the state in which
he had elected to cast his lot
The fact that DR.. Buckham was not
native Of America, that he came to
these shores as a child with on early
preparatory collegiate training under the
tutelage Of his father, who was an in
dependent English clergyman, did not
initiate in the slightest degree against
his fervid Americanism during his ca
ieer as instructor, professor and presi-
dent Of Vermonts university, from which
institution he was graduated in 1851.
DR.. Buckham's attachments as a Greek
scholar and as an authority in rhetoric
and English literature have been wen
recognized among the foremost faculties
OF this and other countries; nothing
need be said here upon that score; what
the Herald notes with its small tribute.
is that DR.. Buckham's devotion to Yer
mont's educational ideal ceased only with
his breath
When men Of the age Of Dr. Buck
ham pass away in the old state of Yer.
niont with such an intellectual stimu-
us as he has left to the state as a
heritage, we who are left behind can on
~ say albeit haltingly their work is
well done.-Rutland Herald.

LOCAL SENTIMENT SHOULD RULE.

LOCAL SENTIMENT SHOULD RULE.
The Brighton GuildhaIl contest in the
Legislature for the county seat Of Essex
county has been allowed to progress fur
ther than the Lamoille county contest
between Morrisyile and Hyde Park; but
the decision in the case is likely to be
influenced by the same thing that main
tanned the county seat of Lamoille in
Hyde Park. In the consideration of the
Morrisville Hyde Park contention, it was
pointed out that the advantages of Local
ton were largely with the seeker for
the county seat, which was Morrisyille,
the advantages including more hotels,
better facilities for reaching the town,
larger population and other considera-
tions Of less consequence. In its defense
Hyde Park depended largely upon the
right of possession and played upon the
sympathies of the towns of the county
by picturing the deprivation it would
mean to Hyde Park to lose the county
seat, while it was also set forth that
Hyde Park was not SO poorly equipped
as might have been inferred, Now, in
the Essex fight, it is pointed out that
in comparative advantages, Brighton, the
seeker, is far better equipped than Guild
hall, even to the possession Of bath
tub. That much is apparently admitted
but here, too, Guildhall has the right
which goes with possession and the abil-
ity to play upon the feelings Of the other
towns.
But even when all those things are
brought into consideration, the real basis
for action by the legislature viii be the
home sentiment, and the Legislature viii
probably not attempt to 90 back Of the
public opinion in Essex county in voting
to change the county seat from Guildhall
to Brighton. At the present time the
towns Of the county seem to favor the
retention of the county seat at Guild
hall, and consequently the legislature
can be depended upon to take its hands
off, just as it did in the other contest
in Lamoille county.

All the indications of the new census

in which we may expect within the

of Mason and Dixon's line and east of
the Mississippi seems to have been grow
ing for the last ten years at a rate
from six to eight per cent. below that

southern states Immediately west of the
Mississippi, except Texas and Oklahoma,
have grown even more slowly. The
states bordering the Mississippi north Of
the Ohio have grown about as slowly
as the south, but they were already
more densely peopled than the latter
region. The close of the decade then

To kindness or to praise.

Whatever il may do.

And see that bunch of sirloin steaks

There is one passage in the presidents

development" nov have an earnest de-

little word nov" Construetively
speaking, we have here the greatest

be a general disposition to resent the

Mount Ethan Allen or rather the pro-
posed changing Of the name. AS for the
automobile restriction, it is looked upon
as somewhat ridiculous. Otherwise, the

from the experiment made with an aero

that probably "this will be limited TO
