The Senate committee on foreign re-
lations, of which Senator Edmunds is
the chairman, and which has recently
been investigating the fisheries question,
has submitted its report. The commit
tee finds that the privilege of buying
bait Oh the Canadian coast is not
matter of sufficient importance to our
fishermen to warrant any sacrifice on
the part of the government to retain or
secure it. Most of the fishermen who
testified before the committee were u
nited in this opinion. The treaty of
1918 enables American fishermen to
enter Canadian ports and obtain
shelter, wood, water and repairs. This
is practically all they need, though il
would be some object to them to be al
lowed to ship and discharge crews in
Canada, and occasionally to purchase
supplies there. The committee is of the
opinion that the privileges which our
fishermen heretofore possessed, but
which are now denied, are over-valued
by the Canadians; and that the re-estab-
lishment of reciprocity between the
United States and Great Britain is not
to be desired, under all the circum-
stances. This opinion is the result of
careful Inquiries among the fishermen
at all the principal New England ports
and it will no doubt be sustained by the
United States Senate whether the adj
-ministration adopts it or not.-Free

PROPRIETARY MEDICINES.

A visit TO Dir. Green's Laboratory,
at Woodbury., II. j., has considerably
changed our views, and especially our
prcjndicos in regard to what are gcner-
ally known us STANDARD Patent Med
icines." OF course we are getting to
that age IN life when we are forced to
conclude Life itself is a humbug, and
naturally distrust anything that hassiot
wiilistood long and tried experiences.
Being physician ] had the curiosity to
know low such sale of two medi-
cal preparations could be sustained for
so many years. The perfect system
upon which the business is conducted.
and the pharmaceutical arrangements
for the manufacture of the two recipes
with which we were made acquainted,
are sufficiently convincing to us that thc
AUGUST FLOWER, for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaints, and BosCHEE's GER
MAN SYRUP, for Throat and Lung
Troubles, were for the complaints they
are recommended, most excellent RENE
dies, and only regret that in much Of
our practice, medical ethics prevent us
from prescribing them without making
the formulas public. When we were
shown the great quantity of voluntary
letters having been forwarded DR..
Green. from all parts of the country,
and from all classes ofpeOple, lawyers,
ministers and doctors, giving descrip-
ton of their ailments, testimonials of
their cures, etc, feel like endorsing
DR.. Green's suggestion that the Gov
crnment accept such valuable formulas,
and license them for general use by
giving protection to the inventor same
as patents generally.-COpied from \.

There were two slight accidents on
the Rutland railroad Saturday, one at
Brandon and the other at the Summit.
In the morning, while a freight train
was switching at Brandon FIVE cars got
off the side track. No damage was
done and the main line was not o.
tructed any. At the Summit the fore
trucks of ear ran off the track when
the freight which leaves here early in
the morning for Bellows Falls, backed
on the side track there to let the regular
train pass. The derailed car was heay-
lily loaded with lumber anditis supposed
that when the train went on the main
line the wheels of the ear did not catch
the frog but erode the rail- and slipped
of. Trains were DELAYED by the mis-
hap.

Prohibition with a Vengeance.

The governor has approved the bill
providing for the appearance of the
states attorney in divorce eases. 4
divorce then is, we suppose, hereafter,
/. criminal affair. The court should
now be given the right to grant di-
vorce, or to imprison in the state
prison, either or both parties without
limitation-from one year or during
life. Also the bill providing penalty
for misrepresentation in procuring a
marriage license. 1t would apparently
be easier and more direct way of
getting at all these matters TO provide
that hereafter-say after next Fourth
of July-all marriages in this state
shall be prohibited.-Burlington Ind.

FREE TRADE.

The reduction Of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers, as
well as relieving the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's A"gust F2ower and
Boscbee's German Syygp, as the re-
duction of thirty-six cents per dozen,
has been added to increase the size of
the bottles containing these remedies.
thereby giving one-fifth more medicine
in the - cent size. The 1ugna Flor
er for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and the German Syrup for Cough and
Lung troubles, have perhaps, the larg-
est sale of any medicines in the world.
The advantage of increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by
the sick ard afflicted, in every town
a nj village in civilized countries. Sam
pie bottles for 10 cents remain the same
size.

An OLD STOVE.

In the rotunda Of the Richmond. Va,
capitol there is an old stove made from
iron which is said to be one of the old
est stoves in existence. 1t was made a
present to the colony Of Virginia in
1770, and was spoken of at that time as
a warming machine. It is seven feet
high, aud 'has as much ornamentation as
a Queen Anne Chicago Times.

The disastrous fire that occurred last
Friday evening at Townshcnd, result
ing in damages that viii require Years
to repair,y is suggestive, il seems to lis,
namely: that no village OF that size can
afford to be without fire apparatus Suf-
ticicnt to meet such emergencies. Had
one tenth the present loss been cXpcnd-
ed in such apparatus, and in furnish
ing an adequate supply of water, four
tifths of the present loss, doubtless,
would have been saved, and beauti-
full village would not have been married
by smouldering ruins and ulsi9hlly re-
mains of stores and dwellings. Il is a
short-sighted policy that permits such
disasters to over take lis. The expense
required for apparatus and cistcrus is
not large. and though we may think
they will not be needed and that we
can get along without them, one such
experience as Townshend has passed
through will take the conccit ont of all
snch hopes and thoughts. And sooner
or later these disasters will come.
Then it will be useless to lament. No
village can afford to be without some
kind of fire engines and ready and
convenient supply of water.

1t strikes an outsider that the mem
beIs of the House of Representatives
who opposed the passage of the bill to
provide for the filling of vacancies in
the House on the ground that it is I'M
constitutional were rather exceeding
their duties as legislators. The supreme
court has as one of its chief missions
that of saying whether laws are or are
not constitutional, and it seems to us
that the proper thing to do was to pass
the bill, if that was the only valid OBJ
lection to it, and then let the court de-
eide upon the constitutionaity of the
measure. This plan is particularly
worthy of consideration in view of the
fact that some of the ablest lawyers in
the State are of the opinion that the
law would not conflict with the provis-
ions of the constitution Middebury
