Now that the Dairymens Association is
to hold its next meeting in Burlington we
suggest that Secretary Bliss solicit special
train to take the members and all who wish
to go, for nominal fare Of twenty-five or
Fifty cents for the round trip, to Shelburne
to visit the stock farm of Col. Canon. Teams
could be secured very easily to transport the
visitors from the station to the farm, perhaps
a mile and half, and such set of buildings,
and stock as would be found would repay
the expense to each member OF the associa.
ton. Col. Canon's place is the old "Stock
Farm" for horses, but turned to practical
and beneficial uses. What our Vermont
farmers need is to see good stock and build.
ings, and be convinced by the sight Of their
eyes that it pays to have good and warm
and convenient barns aud good blood in
their stock One great reason why hun
dreds of diaries in this state do not yield
more profit is that the COWS are of poor or
low average class which produce but little
more than enough to meet the current ex.
penses of running the establishment The
farmer fails to see it would cost no more in
feed and care to keep the same number Of
first-cass COWS, while the profit Of his dairy
would be several times as large, Now we
want the farmers who go to Burlington to
see such farm establishment as Col. Canon's
Of Shelburne.

We knew Bennington, in the shadow of
her forth coming Centennial-we believe
coming events cast their shadows before
would grapple with the momentous question,
though we did not expect it quite so early
in the season, not till after the negroes and
Indians and monarchy u.s. repubicanism
and other weighty matters had received
their deserts. But they are impatient down
there to have the question settled be-
fore leap year expires-the generous hearted
fellows, so considerate of the ladies. Here
it is: (Which is the best, to marry wo.
man you don't love. or love a woman you
can't marry ?" The Banner fellow has had
experience, evidently, for he says he should
decide it in the affirmative. Sorry-always
supposed he married for love.

his able, ready, facile pen, made the pages

its circulation. An appreciation and ex-

therefore dOubly gratifying to us, and we as

Let US see, the republicans went into the
late canvass with this watchword, "IIayes
and Reform" though to their credit be it
said they made less ado about the matter of
reform than did the democrats. But it was
reform in the collection aud expenditure of
the revenues, and especially reform in the
civil service. 1t was on the ground Of its
pledges aud Gov. Hayes's letter touching
this matter that the party went to the indie
pendent voters of the country and solicited
their support And on the strength of that
thousands voted for Hayes. Here is one of
the first things done since quiet was restored
to the tremulOus nerves Of the politicians in
Washington the faithful postmaster Of
Philadelphia was removed to make room for
some partisan of the Oamerons. Now we
know this Is not the work of President Hayes
but II is the work Of the leaders and rulers

Does any one doubt the statesmanship aud
wisdom and patriotism Of congressman
Look moment. Some congressman are in
terested in silver mines, aud some in some
thing else, but all have an abiding interest
in their own personal fortunes Now these
silver mine men, aided by their friends, have
been laboriOg 10 both sessions of congress TO
get bill passed declaring silver legal ten
der, and 412I grains of it equal to one dol
lar in gold. Now let us see how il works.
Gold has, practically speaking, a steady uni.
form value, while silver has fluctuated from
tortyJ0ur to Jifty.eight cents per ounce dur
ing the last SIX months. Silver like wheat
or beef is worth Just what it will sell for. 1t
would be just as sensible for congress to fiz
the price Of butter as Of silver, in the present
state of things. And yet congressman are
wise, they are statesmen !

speech delivered by the Hon George
W. Julian, of Indiana, last week NJ
Julian is one Of the fathers aud fou,s
ers Of the Republican party. aud the
extract shows that his head j. entirely

porter of Governor Hayes: Our own
solemn belief is that the less said on
this point on the Republican side the
better; that the outrage argument serve
aud can serve the purpose of nobody
in this canvass but the Republican
knaves, aud that the probabilities are
that the South will be more peaceful
under Tilden than under Hayes, aud
this for reasons which lie on the sur
face. Tilden is not weak or foolish
man. He will have no motive Tor toll
Grating disorders at the South, nol
will his leading followers. On the
contrary, they will perceive clearly the
importance Of tranquility IN that re-
gion, to the stability OF their bold OF
power in the North, while these els
orders will actually constitute nearly
the whole political capital OF the lie

The Hickman COURIER, one Of the most

LUCHAN ANDERSON.
He Dome Nant the BIItG rness
Of WaT Forgotten.

We believe the real good men of all
parties will depreeate any publications
calculated to revive the old animosi
ties aud prejudices Of war. We could
hope that both sides would forget and
forgive, and whatever political differ,
euce may exist between individuals
that person al relations might remain
umieable. The times are growing hot,
hotter, hottest. There are iuhamaiory
takers in the field, aud when one side
revives an old soar it will produce a
lick in the same direction. We know
the people of this District are in heart
kind aud liberal as to all these old sad
sad questions, and that they desire to
bury all the old bitter memories, re-
mberiug only the good of each
other; but the one side or the other
would be less or more than human, il
they could with equanimity of temper
see their fellows and comrades roweled
to death 10y fanatics on the one side OF
the other.
The Hon. Lucian Anderson, it ap
pears, has been gagged in making \
series of infarnatory speeches, it is
said, with the deliberate purpose Of
trying to arouse these ioug latent and
dormant old war feelings. The May
\ field Monitor, in order to show thar
this violent, extreme way of doing
politics is peculiar to Mr.. Anderson
nature, and that his extreme ideas are
not shared by all the Republicans
prints some extracts from some old
documents. These extremists in hit
ting back merely show that they them
selves are vulnerable, and allowing
that that the good conservative men
of both parties, do not approve opening
these old sores
