The Cost Of Education

Here is what it costs to educate your
child in the public schools of the country,
says Leslie's Weekly: The average yearly
expenditure for a pupil in our free schools
is $2S25. In 1870 it was only $1.55.
The highest yearly expenditure is in
Nevada, where single pupil costs $40. Is.
New York follows with SOL. so, Montana
with $40 40 and California with $40 20.
In the South the expenditures on each
pupil range from $6.37 in South Caro-
lima to $20.36 in West Virginia. Okla
homa spends $3.50, New Mexico $40
.46, while Arizona with $40.41, spends
$5.16 pupil each year more than Okla
homa and New Mexico combined. One
third of the States spend from $25 to $40
a pupil. The fact that one large group
spends less than SIS and another spends
more than $35 is an indication of the
great variety in support ofpublic educa
ton and in the opportunity afforded for
free school training in various sections OF
the nation.

The Young Widows

The young widows are coming in for
their share of Uncle Sans generosity in
the shape of pensions. The present pen
sion law grants annuities only to the
widows of soldiers of the Civil War who
were married before June 81, 1890. AS
is we'll known, many of the old soldiers
took helpmates unto themselves under
that date and for the past twenty years
Congress has been besieged in the inter
ests of this multitude. There are now
between 10000 and 25 900 of them, and
the pressure has come to be SO strong that
it looks as if it would not be withstood
for a great while. The Senate committee
on pensions has decided to take up that
question and it is considered probable
that a favorable report will be made
within a comparatively short time. The
House committee has also agreed to con-
slider the subject and the intimations are
that the report from that committee will
be favorable.
If the bill should become a law it would
add from two to four millions of dollars
to the pension roll
The appropriation for pensions this
year is $156, O0O,O OO-about five millions
less than last year, Since its organiza-
ton the total cost of pensions to the
country has been about four billion dol
lars.

The Il. f. D. Carriers of this district
met in annual convention at Hyde Park

made up of carriers with their wives and
and substitutes, were present, as against
| ffty-four at Johnson last year. The meet
ing was held in the Cong'l church vestry.
Dinner was served in the dning-room and
| fine spread it was, being prepared by
the superior factors" of the carriers.
After dinner avery interesting program
was carried out. There was an address
of welcome by L. II. Noyes of Hyde Park,
| delivered in "Lucius" felicitous manner,
which was responded to by Carrier Atch-
| inson of Morrisville in very digniied
style. Then came an interesting address
| by II. M. Mcfarland, descriptive of Vel
lowstone Park, which place he visited
last summer. This was followed with a
practical talk on carriers duties and
post office matters by Postmaster Cheney
Ct Stowe.
An interesting report of the national

Freak Legislation

The season of freak legislation lin other
States is upon us, and from various
parts of the Union comes reports OF
whimsical bills designed by back-country
solons to correct various pernicous Gus
toms indigenous to this soil; to improve
and uplift man morally, and to tidy HIM
up physically. Out in Utah bill makes
it misdemeanor not to take bath once
week. This seems to come perlously
close to conflicting with the constitution,
which forbids cruel and unusual punish
ment. 1t may, however, be an amend
ment to an old law providing for the
regular independence Day annual In
Oregon a hat pin more than nine inches
long will be declared deadly weapon II
certain bill passes. Such bill might
be expected in the crude Northwest, but
it is depressing to note that in State OF
Maryland, the land of chivalry, med
dlesome lawmaker would reduce the big
hats so popular among women. a hne
or Imprisonment is suggested for the big
hat wearer, who is alleged in legal terms,
to be a "disturber Of the public peace"
Down Delaware way it is proposed to
tax bachelors and gypsies, both of whom
are placed in the undesirable citizen"
class. This seems severe on the unmar-
ried male Of Delaware, but it probably
serves him right. InNebraska bill pro-
vides that all hotels shall have sheets at
least nine feet long. This measure was
suggested by an elongated and angry
law-maker whose legislative feet were
chilled by reason of the bedcovering being
too short at one end
In Texas it may become a criminal
ohense to swear over the telephone. No
stronger eXpletive than fudge will be
allowed, no matter how many times a
man is told "the line is busy" Such a
law ought to cultivate selfcontrol to a
large degree.
Law-making is really the most popular
indoor sport of Americans. What is
most needed now is law that will re-
strain the average legislator from over
indulgence in the habit of legislating,

The Enosburgh Falls Standard comes
out squarely in favor off. G. Fleetwood
for Governor and in speaking of his plat
form, says:
We are glad that he has in plain Ian
guage stated his case and not side-stepped
or put forth any nebulous theory. From
our standpoint Mr.. Fleetwood's method
ofpromulg eating his ideas through the
fundamentally of a platform is much
more reassuring and satisfactory than DR..
Mead's, because one in definite language
commits its sponsor to the advocacy of
live questions of great Importance, while
the other, with a verbose declaration
leaves one in mid-air trying to determine
whether its writer has any definite opin-
ion on public questions or not.

candidacy and will advocate his nomina-
ton to the best of its ability.

The House committee on military

recently presented to that body to raise
Mai.-General Daniel E. Siclzles to the re-
tired rank ofLieutenant-G General, No one
will grudge this honor to this famous
general officer of the Union army during
the Civil War Cen Sickles, though a
civilian appointed to the army, proved
thathe possessed inherent military capac-
ity, and his record at Gettysburg, where
he lost leg, put his name among the
war heroes of the nation. Only two
corps commanders of the Civil War are
now 1iving-Gen Sickles and Gen. Gran
vile M. Dodge. Both of these grizzled
veterans arelillely to receive deserved but
belated honor from Congress.
