Eaton on ObcrIy.

Hon. Dorman b. Eaton has found il
necessary to come to the defence of him
self and his companions of the old Civil
Service commission against the attacks of
the new Democratic commissioner. Mr.
Oberly. The latter in a recently printed
letter, says of the present commissioners
that they have made the examinations
of the commission nOn-partisan by revers-
ing the practice of their Republican pre-
decessors, ;" etc. and that 1.-THE Customs
and Postal Boards of Examiners cannot
now, as under Republican administration,
be constituted entirely of members of one
politicG' party" Mr.. Eaton resents these
implications of partisan conduct on the
part of himself and his assistants on t e
commission In communication - the
New York Times he says:
That the issues between Commissioner
Oberly and myself may be distinct | as
sert % that there was no reasonable
ground or tit occasion for making the
charges (2) that so far as | am concern

fact which are apparently material are
either irrelevant or are mlSconcelved, and
for that reason are mlSStated for | do

\ New Experiment..

The United States agricultural depart
ment seems to think that it exists for the
sole purpose of making experiments.
This, of course, was one object for which
it was established but it is not by any
means the only one. The department has
wasted good deal of money in foolish
enterprises such as the making of sugar
from sorghum and the attempt to cult
yate tea In this country. Both of these
schemes We're from the first pronounced
foolish by scientific men, but the commits
sioner of agriculture could not be per
suaded of the fact until convinced by
stern experience. So far, we do not re
member IA single experiment of any con
siderable Importance conducted by the
department which has proved successful,
while many thousands of dollars of the
public money have been squandered in
quiXotic schemes.
A new experiment, however, has been
more promising This is the establish
ment of an experimental silk factory,
For three years Congress has appropri-
ated some money to enable the commits
sioners of agriculture to establish the
cultivation of silk in the. United States. A
special clause was inserted in the last APP
preparation, providing for the trial of
some new machinery for Keeling silk auto
matcally. 1t is explained in this connection
that there are two grades of material called
respectively "spun" and raw" silk. The
former is produced from silk waste and
| pierced cocoons, and after the preliminary
operations of maceration and cardng Is
! spun somewhat after the manner of cot
ton. This operation has been successfully
carried out for some years by several inn
portant establishments in Connecticut,
| Pennsylvania and elsewhere, and the in
dustry may be said to be fairly established
in this country. But as good unpierced
cocoons are not used in this work and the

season.
The Need of Forests.

Every State ought to have forestry
bureau. The facts which are brought to
the attention of the farmers by such
bureaus or commissions are of the ut
most significance and value. We believe
that Vermont has benefited, and will
benefit more in the future from the inves-
legations and reports of the forestry com
mission in this State. We notice in all the
reports of these State bureaus the
same testimony as regards the re
suits of the wholesale destruction of large
tracts OF timber in the gradual dimnu-
ton of the streams and the change of the
climate to greater ardity and sharpness
New England rivers, like the Saco, the
Merrimac and the Connecticut, never
show full volume of water, since the
forests near their head waters have been
cut of, except in time of freshets and
then HE freshets are more destructive
than in former times. Our rivers and
streams are less used for manufacturing
purposes since the forests We're largely cut
down, as they can not be depended upon
to furnish sufficient head of water
throughout the year. Farming lands are
more imperfectly irrigated than they
formerly were, so that stunted crops and
scanty pasturage are becoming the farm
er's dread.
Such facts as these show that it is the
most suicidal policy in the world for our
New England farmers to denude the hills,
and especially the vicinity of small water
courses, of their growth of timber. The
drying up of every little stream takes so
much from the total water supply of the
section through which it, and the streams
to which it should contribute flow Leav-
ing out of the account altogether every
thing but the most utilitarian cOnsdera-
tionS, it seems to us that the farmers of
New England ought to be impress with
the necessity of preserving as much as
possible what fore SITS we have left.

use of the choicest material re
mains to be developed in this coun-
try, the department of agriculture is
trying to do something toward the estab
lishment of Il market for the choicest
produce of the silk raiser-the whole or
unpierced cocoon. Thus far this country
has been unable to cope with France in
reeling silk from the cocoons. Some few
years ago, how ever, an American, Mr.. Ed.
ward W. Serrell ,Jr, Of New York, under
took to solve the problem of the automatic
reeling of silk, and n satisfactory end has
been reached after the expenditure of
several years labor and considerable sums
OF money. The outcome is a silk reel
which is now being put into operation in
France in competition with the cheap
labor of that country. This machinery
makes so great IA saving f labor as to
! largely subordinate this side of the ques
ton. The commissioner of agriculture
has obtained few of these machines,
with which he hopes to be able to produce
reeled silk with profit during the coming
season.
IT the proposed experiments should
prove successful and profitable, the de
partment may congratulate itself upon
having at last done something to intro
duce new branch of industry for farm
ers and manufacturers-au industry par
ticuarly adapted to ladies and to persons
living in the country, who are not able to
endure the severer labors of agriculture.

cans forty of them will probably be IN

The chill which must have crept over
these rose-hued anticipations as the re.
turns of the election came in, can be
imagined. Instead of the eighty demo
cratic members, so jubilantly claimed,
there will not be forty in the legislature.
The ti-Edmunds republicans will not
exceed a dozen. The ingenious idea
of counting the few unrepresented
towns as if they had elected anti
Edmunds members will not work in
practice. Four senators elect are I'M
pledged, but three of them will vote for
Edmunds The unpledged representatives
are not likely to exceed 20 The senators
and members distinctly committed to vote
for Mr.. Edmunds as far as heard from
number GO more than a majority and the
number will be still further increased.
These mep, as any agent who attempts
to tamper with them will find, are not
open to "missionary" influences after the
methods prevalent in New York and Ohio.
Not one per cent of them could be bought
with any amount of money. They intend
to live in Vermont, and to be able to face
their townsmen when they return from
Montpelier. There will be no opportunity
for any ballot. Each man must stand in
his seat and audibly announce the name
of the man he votes for for United States
senator That any appreciabe portion of
| them can be approached corruptly under
all the circumstances is not suppposable.
There will be but one republican candi-
date presented in the Legislature and the
bottom has dropped out of the whole anti
| EdmundS scheme.
