AHTHTJR ROPES, Qcnornl Edltor.
Senator Dkal's blll providing for
taking tho votcu of members of tho
General AsBcmbly for prcaidcntiul
olcctors is a good ono nnd ought to
pnBs. Nenrly n wcck of tho timc of tho
legislaturo will bo snved, and thoro is
no timo to loso if legislotion of nny ira
portanco is to bo undertakon. Tho
timo of tho ecssiou is wnning rnpidly.
Mouk than twenlj' delegations called
ut Cnnton on Saturday, and Major Mc
Kinloy tuado eightecn spooches to his
vieitors, who aro on hand with tho
crowiog of tho cock.
New Yoitic City's parado of sound
money nien, Octobcr 31, it is expcctod,
will uutubor from 125,000 to 160,000
mon, and will bo fourtoen miles long.
Mayor Strong, with 25,000 dry-goods
men, will hcad the parado.
A PKltsONAii fricnd of Presidont
Cloveland says that ho haa mado up his
mind to recognize tho independence of
Cuba, unleaa tho robcllion is put down
by Spain within tho noxt threo months,
nnd that a hint to that effect has beon
given Spaiu. ,
It bcing now protly wcll uudorstood
that the Venezuelau boundary coni
mission will report in favor of tho
claims of Vouezuela, England, with a
view .o eaving herself humillation, has
decided to agreo to arbitration before
that roport is mnde.
Bkyan and his friends havo said
fiomo pretly tough things of Mr. Hanna.
Tho latter turned both cheeka to tho
smiter recently at Iron Mountain,
Mich., whcre Mr. Hanna owus a large
mine. Mr. Bryan was to speak at that
locality, and tho order came from Mark
Hanna to closo the mine for thrce
hours that the 000 miners might hear
Bryan. Tho men wero paid in full for
tho timc lost.
" We donounce arbitrary interfer
cnce by Fedcral authorities in local af
fairs as a viohtion of the Constitution
of tho Unitcd Statea and a crimo agaiust
freo inatitutions." This declaratiou of
tho Chicsgo platform Arehbishop Ire
land of Miunesota denounces as tho
old accessiou doctrino iu a new guise.
" It is," ho says, " tho seceesion of
1801, which our soldiera belicved they
had conaigned to oternal death at Ap
poraattox, but which demands again
recoguition from tho Americau people."
The advanco in tho prico of wheat
continues. On Monday, iu New York,
oighty-aix and ono-half conta waa
rcached, making u riso of twenty-two
ceuts sinco tho low point in Septcmber.
In Livorpool, ainco Saturday, the ad
vanco waa equivalent to six cents.
Corn sympathized with tho upward
trend of wheat, and tho big advance
had a stimulating effect on othor mar
kets, oxcept silvor, which has beon re
coding and is not in sight of ita alleged
twin in value.
Oiiaiiiman Hanna suggests that "on
Saturday, October 31, all who intond to
vote on November 3 for tho preserva
tion of our nalional honor, for sound
monoy, and tho advancoment of our
peoplo's interests nnd gonoral prosper
ity, diaplay tho national colors at thoir
homea, thoir places of busincas and
wherever they may be aeen, in order
that thoir purposo may bo known, and
thoBo who aro undotermined may the
moro patriotically and intelligently con
clude how best to porform their duty aa
citizens." This country will bo ono
vast tulip-bed on tho thirty-first.
Sonntor Moi-rlll,
Tho rcmarkablo honor of a sixth
clcction to tho Americau scnato de
scondedycsterdayupon tho " good gray
head which all men know." Senator
Morrill was oighty-six years old on the
fourtecnth of April. His national ca
reer began in tho houeo of represeuta
tivcB of tho thirty-fourlh congrees, to
which, nho, lio rccoivcd six elections.
So woll had ho repreaented Vermont in
tho popular brauch of tho uational
legislaturo, tho stalo was cqually and
omincutly diBtingulshcd in both
brnnchcs of that body. March 4, 1807,
ho boro tho commissiou of his stato to
tho scnato and in that body iucreased,
many cublts, his Btature as nslntcBman.
To add to tho ltistor of tho fame Colla
mor nud Foot had given Vermont, In a
legialativo body that nuinbcrcd amoug
its stnrs Seward and Sumnor, and a
scoro of othor luminaries of tho llrst
magnitudo, was liko gilding flno gold,
but tho roputation of tho stato as tho
producor of Blatesmon with maetor
mlnds, ablo to grapplo successfully
with tho dlvorso probloms of govcrn
meul has bcen upheld by Mr. M rrill
in iils scnaiorial career. Iis fanio haa
8uffortd uo dotrlmont, tho nntional
wolfaro has rccoivcd a vast incroment,
from his thirty-ycars' tenuro of the
biish dfllco to which ho was iigalti ro
lUined joaterday. IIo haB beou no sl
lent factor, ho has hold no sccondary
rnnk, in tho national deliborative body.
In tho latter years of his ofllcial lifo ho
I has bIiowu that " Ago is opportunily
uo lets thau youih ItBclf." Tho gulf.
strcara of youth has flowed far into tho
Arctic rogions of his existcuce, and wo
behold, to-day, not " au old mau broken
with tho storms of statc," but ono who,
on tho receding sido of eighly-six
years, has tho courogo and tho strongth
of bodyaud mind again tobuckle on his
armor and battle for his country at a
timo of immiuent vital peril. Tho
spectaclo is most extraordinary and a
most inlorcsting ono.
Educntlonnl Arfnlrs.
It is regrottable, it is dcplorable, that
tho public Bchools should bo biennially
the aubject of irrational strife. In ono
form or anothor, public education, for
flftcon yoars, has furnished tho legisla
turo with matorial for contcsls that
havo beon violont and bitter, unscomly
and unrcasonablo. In this contontion
tho common Bchoola havo suffercd.
The bcnoQta anticipated from progres
sivo legislation and increased appro
priations for school purposes havo been
leasoned by this lack of harmony in tho
logislaturo in mattors upon which thoro
should bo perfect accord. Tho flght
has beon intensoovcrsystems, over tho
Normal Schools, and, since 1888, over
tho oloction of a stato superintendcnt
of education.
In respect of this ofllcer, whoso
dutieB aro moro important than those of
any other exocutivo or administrativo
oflicial, from tho govornor down, tho
wholesomo rule that provails, espc
ciady where peaco in tonure and con
tinuity of servico is esaential to efll
ciency, has been very gonerally ignored,
and tho lcgislature has indulged in
a biennial gamo of battledcire and
shuttlecock. Hon. E. F. Palraer, flrst
elecled in 1888, had to flght for hia ro
election in 1890, and in 1892 ho was
batted out, after a contest that was not
freo from acandaloua incidents. Plans
for the betterment of tho public school
system and for conserving and
Btrengthening the matorial resources
of public education, wero broken off,
and tho practical experience acquired
by four years of adminiatration waa
lost to tho state.
Out of tho irabroglioof 1892 camo tho
electiou of Mason S. Stone, who had
been put forward by hia friends, and
whoso canvass was freo from rcason
able criticism. Mr. Stono's administra
tion, during tho term for which ho was
clectcd, wa3 characterized by carnest
onthuaiasm. With good judgmont and
systeniatic effort, he took up and pur
suud the tabk the legislaturo had en
trustcd to his hands.
The ofllce of state superintondent of
education in Vermont has its peculiar
rosponaibilities and peculiar difllcultiea.
The public mind secms to be partic
ularly sensitive on the subjects of
school adminiatration and Bchool ox
penditures. The ollico is no sinecure,
and tho faithful dischargo of its duties
ia no gala-day performance. No ten
ant of the ofllce who faithfully and
conscientiously undortakes, and clll
cientlyand resolutely pursucs, tho taak
of suporvising tho public educational
affairs of Vermont, who discbarges
fully, in their lettor and spirit, the du
ties the law lays upon him and which
he 8wears ho will faithfully perform,
will oscapo criticism and condomna
tion. If the criticism were always just;
if it camo always from a sincere and
unselflah regard for tho public welfaro;
if condomnation wero guided by intel
ligeuco and tempered by charity, it
would bo welcome and tho causo of
popular education would bo advanced.
Before his flrst election, Mr. Stono
had a largo and qualifylng exporienco
in school suporvision iu Maasachusctts;
and beforo this, his flrst important fleld
servico, ho had gaiucd, in tho district
and highor schooh of Vermont, practi
cal experience in the art of teaching in
the very schools over which his supor
vision was to bo exerciscd. IIo has
now had four years of valuablo expe
rience in tho ofllco of stato superinton
deut. IIIs plans havo been formed and
his labors directed with a wiso rofcr
onco to tho futuro prosperity of tho
schools. IIo ia in tho raidst of tho exe
cution of those plaus aud tho perform
ance of tho incidcntai labors. Tho
best good of tho schools aud tho gon
oral causo of public education will bo
advauced by his re-election. Tho
frultsoffour years of judlcious plaut
iug and cultlvatlng will bo ripened and
tho barvcst will begin. Tho prospect
of Mr. Stono's ro-clcction without op
position is very gratlfying. Harmony
iu the cholce of tho occupaut of this
important ofllce will iucroase tho efll
ciency of his labors. So let us havo
peaco, harmony and co.oporntion, and
the battlo for good sclioola is won.

When a candidato boaatfully avows
that ho never sells his principles, it
may bo that ho has no principles to put
upon tho raarkct.
Tho School Hiipcriutcndoiicy.
S. W. Lmdon of Burlington, wh'iso
natno has boou mcntloned by boiiio of
tho stato pross as a candidato for stato
superintondent of education, writcs tho
J'Vee Press as follows:
" To (lecliao an honor which has not lioon
tondorod, and very llkoly mlght not bo, Is
poislbly an uuustiul and soinowhat awk
wnrd thlng to do, but sucli soems to bo my
duty ut this timo. During tho rccont con
tosts for tho stato suporlntonduncy of edu
cation I havo always, untll within a fow
days, (lrmly refusod to lio n candidato, or
allow tny natno to bo usod lor tho positlon.
Loss than a wook ago, bowover, ylolilliiR to
to tlio urfionoy of friends, I sald, bh cor
rectly stitod In your columns, that It
eloctod T would nccopt tbo ofllco, but that I
woald conduct no canvass, nor would I
tnako tho nllchtoHt effort to socitro au elec
tion. Upon carofully considorlnf; tlio mat
ter farthor, I doem it wiso to return to my
orilnal dotormiuation, aud wIhIi to Htito
publlcly through your pipor tliat nndor no
clrcumstancos will I allow tny natno to be
usod ln tbo oloction, nor would I accopt tbo
ofllco lf olectod. Tbo positlon of stato au
perintondont, If securccl and bold by dlgnl
Ilod and leRltltnate metbods, is surely ono of
groat honor, but I do not want it, for roa
soiih that aro largoly porsoual and of no In
torest to tbo public. I sball roRret oxcood
ltifily if in any way I euibarrasa tny frlonds,
but I truBt that this will not bo tbo caso.
It tuay not bo out of placo for mo ltore to
tbank most cordlally my friends, both those
who havo boen klnd enoiigh to urgo tno to
romain ln my presont positlon and tboso
who bavo oflered to belp socuro for mo tho
othor."
Tho llornct's Ncst.
Ono part of tho fiold of Shiloh, from
the exceptional hotness of that florco
battle, was called "the hornet's ncst."
llliuois is tho hornet's ncst of thiB in
tenso political battle botweon tho forces
of this now seccssion and tho mon who
aro carrying tho national standardB.
Altgcld is raging up and down tho
state, iu dcsperato Btraits, ready to
sacriflco Bryan if only ho can mako hia
own election sure. Truo to his an
archistic traits, ho has doparted froni
tbo rules of political cthics and political
warfare, and speaks of his advcrsaries
as reptiles," "liars," "leechcB,"
" houndB," aud " blood-Buckers." Tho
bombardment of this leader and incar
nation of disordcr and ropudiation
grows in intcnsity and effcctivonesB.
Among tho schcmeB tbat aro formed to
insuro his overthrow and crush him be
yond recovory is tho organization of
tho "Governor's Flying Squadron,"
conBiating of flve Btar republicans who
have occupiod tho ofllce of chief oxec
utivo in lllinois and tho republicau
candidate for that ofllco in tho pending
election. On tho twenty-aecond, they
will start for a tour of tho stato, going
on a special train " to spread tho gos
pel of sound moncy aud protection."
The veteran ex-Governor "Dick"
Oglesby and Senator (Jullom are
among the stars, nnd cx-Senator Far
woli is iuvited to accompany the
" Squadron." The train will cousist of
two bapgago cars, two slecpers, an ob
servation car, and a long flat car, which
will servo the duul purpose of a speak
ers' rostrum and a guu carriago for a
cannon which will nwako tho cchocs
through lllinois. On cach side of tlio
flrst baggago car thero will bo a heroic
sized picture of Lincoln, and on cach
sido of the secoud basgago car thoro
will be a heroic-sized picturo of Grant.
Thus aro they " whooping up the
flght" out on tho prairics. Estimates
of McKinley's plurality iu lllinois,
hitherto placed at 100,000, havo been
raised, on the strongth of tlio rcgistra
tion in Chicago and thocumulating ovi
donco from overy part of tho state, to
tho coloesal flguro of 400,000.

With the end of tho campaign ap
proaching, and tho flnal clinch of
mighty political forces in sight, all
other subjects loso their intorest for
Amoricans. Tho once potcnt Vene

of British aggression, pregnaut with

later appearanco of the Amorican oaglo,
with plumago bolligeront winging his

inoffuctual flrcs" in tho presenco of
political ovonts at homo and tho colos
sal preparations for tho battlo of tho
ballotB ln the causo of sound monoy and
uatioual honor.
Bryan'a fronzled dcclaration, " Wo
ask no quartor, aud we givo no quar
tor," is accopted in its lettor nnd spirl',
and ho is to havo political " war to tho
knifo, and tho knlfo to tho hilt." Chair
man Hanna's platiB aud preparations
at Chicago aro comploto. Thoy aro
stupendous in conceptlon, and their
oxecution will beglu with tho opoulng
of tho last wook of tho cinvass. In
tho closing days thero will bo flghting
all along tho linos, ovor all the aren
from ocoan to ocoan, from tho lakes to
tho gulf. Bryanism ia to bo smashed
to atoms. That is tho progrnmmc.
All tho stato commlttoes in tho
Middlo West and tho Northwcst aro
working in hnrniony with tho national
commlt.oo, Chnirman Hanim will thus
bo ablo enaily to carry out his plaus " to
lift tho work, day by day, until tho
groat cllmax of tho last wook." At
that timo, it ia annouriced, 3,000 apoak
ers will bo in tho political fleld ovory
day, nnd theso will bo diBtributod with
pnrtlcular referonco to tho salvatlon of
tho Btatoi ln which tho red standard of
Altgeld and Bryan is unfutlod, and
upon tho conquest of which nll their
hopes of victory aro b.i od. Those
Btatos will ba carpotod with campnlgn
lltorature,in nll ianguages in Hebrow,
Dutch, Finnish, Spanijh, French, Nor.
woglau, Swedish, Bohomiati, Gertnan
nnd Ita'iau. Spotkers, also, ln theso
various tongues will cxpound tho doc
trino of sound moncy and protection,
and its bearing uion their matcrial
wolfare, to the po'yglot peoples of tho
infl'iite West. Already 200 tons of
campaign docuinents, each coutnining
from two to olghty pages, havo been
distributcd, but before election dny 300
tons, or 300,000,000 doctimonts, wi 1 be
Bcnttercd over tlio region boyond the
Aileghanics.
A 1 tlio mighty forces nrc in full and
nctivo play. They aro to cxpeud their
onorgics in overy warring stato and
territory, and thoy aro to mako things
hum. Tho sponkors are not to be
turned looso at once. They aro to re
liovo each other dny by day tlll the
timo for tho last grand charge, when
nll will tnako ono uuitod swoop upon

So run tho reporta from national

Nntional HcndqunrtcrH.
Our political correspoudents and old
campaigners aro in tho dcpths of ad
miratlon ovor the vast machlcory in
oporation at republican nalional hcad
quartere. Evory department is run
with rapidity, thoroughuess, and tlro
loss cnergy. Every town and hamlet
in tho middle north and fnr wcstern
states is instantly reached by a vast
system aud of direct tolcgraph wires.
Tho constantly moving army of 400
epeakers, and the thousands of agonts
and silent campaigners are in quick and
complete communication with hcad
quartcrs. Nothing is left to " hear
say " or " thoy say." Every step in
tho campaign is known, nnd the in
formation is direct aud nulhcntic. All
this lcd ono of Chairman Hanna's
friends to Bav to him at tho Auditorium
Hotol recently:
" Hanna, you misscd your callinc.
You ought havo been a gencral. You'd
made a Hannibal or a Crajar or a Wel
lineton." Hanna blusbcd liko n schoolboy ovor
the compliment. Truly tho pace has
beon set for futuro national cam
paigners. At popocratic headquarters things
are far differont. It is with no deslro
to bo critical y offetiBivu when it is rc
corded that everything pertainiug to
tlicse bcadquartere has a shiftlcBS ap
pcarauce that is positively distressinc.
There does not appear to bo any sys
tem for anything or anybody. Popo
cratic headquarters, as comparcd to re
publican headquarters, is very much
liko a junk shop to a' 100-ton Corliss
ongiue. Cliairraan Hanna is nervy,
springy, and determined. Chairman
Joues is listless, dreamy, aud uncer
tain. Tnlk with Hanna and you lind
him chock full of vim nnd flre. Talk
with Joues and you find him timid and
hesitating. Ilu has a far-away look.
Ilanna is forceful nnd brim full of con

wlio ison tho lookout for more bricks.
