THE
FREE PRESS,
BURLINGTON, VT.

The FREE PRESS believes in progress
and makes its practice accord with its
belief. Its efforts toward perfection have
been constant and its growth in size and
value, circulation and public appreciation
in the past few years have no precedent in
Vermont Journalism. 1t stands by acknow-
Iedgment of its contemporaries in three
states clearly in the forefront of Vermont
newspapers. It's advance movement will
not he relaxed and 1t will continue to keep
itself in position to enttr it to Inc patron
age of all intelligent people.
The FREE PRESS believes in home in
StltutlonS. 1t believes that the people of
Vermont can find much in their own
state to be proud of. 1t believes that the
sooner they learn to thoroughly support
their worthy home institutions, preach
and practice the policy of enterprise in
Vermont, put their capital in manufact-
ures at home, the sooner they will reach
ndependance and happiness. The FREE
PRESS therefore advocates the policy of
thorough and unwavering support of home
Institutions, and it believes that only in so
far as that is done will II community or Il
state make thorough progress 1t believes
there is ample room for the exercise of
brains, energy and enterprise in Vermont
and acts fully up to its belief.
Believing this the FREE PRESS is first
of all home paper Its own city. county.
and state are first in its thoughts. and
newS-while the news of the entire world
is given i'll rs ample detail as necessary.
All matters that seem to concern ITS read
erS, national, state or city, social moral or
intellectual are discussed day by day, not
lor sensational effect, but to intelllgently
elucldate the subject. The FREE PRESS
does not believe IN senSationalism III any
degree, either in news or politics. 1t is
steadtastly republican in politics and does
not believe 1t Is necessary to change opin-
ion with every issue To be live news
paper.
The FREE PRESS has begun a new. high
ly attractive and unusual feature in
country journalism. 1t has, at considera-
bic expense, engaged a series of original
stories of the war, to be printed in it's
columns solely in Vermont. These will
prove highly attractive to all veterans and
sons of veterans as well as other readers

a STATEMENT by THE KNIGHTS.
With Reference to the Texas and Pacific,
Wrong Doings

ST. Louis, March 1O.-The Knights of
Labor have issued statement which
says: "A short time ago the Texas and
Pacific company employed some 20 men or
more to work in the Marshall shops. 1t is
said the men were employed on condition
that when the company were through with
their services they were to be discharged
which time was 80, 60 or 90 DAYS. At the
end of that time, instead Of dispensing
with these mems services, they com
menced the indiscriminate culling out of
old employees. When asked for re-
dress they had none to get. In our
Judgment these men were singled
out and discharged because of their
prominence in the strike of last March:
and also of the fact of their taking a
prominent part in the organization
OF the knights of Labor. Another
grievance was that of the discharge
of c. a. Hail of Marshall, for being
absent from duty without permission
which Hall claims to have had. The ex-
ecutive board took steps to interest the
citizens of Marshall to assist them in ar
bltratlnS the difficulties. The receivers
ignored each request of hearing the citi-
zens' committee. The full matter was
then submitted to the different local as
semblies for their action, which was unan-
lmous that Hall should be reinstated
forthwith, therefore the action taken i'm
this strike was voluntary and determined
on by every man working on the system
belonging to the knights.
The situation on the Gould system,
ST, LOUIS, March 9.-The situation of
the strike on the Gould system of rail
roads remains unchanged. The company
has published long statement declaring
that the reasons for the strikes were triv-
ial and absurd. The stopping of trains
extends over four States and affects A.
100000 people. An order was issued by
the yice-president of the Missouri Pacific
road to the heads of all the departments
OF the road to at once dispense with the
services of every employe not positively
necessary to the company in its present
crippled condition. In all, about 5000 per
sons not participating in the present strike
Will suffer the loss of pay until the
knights return to work. The managers
Of the offices in this city have also notified
their clerks that they have decided TO re-
lieve them from duty indefinitely. This
action has been taken by the company in
order to curtail as much as possible OF
their expenses during the continuance of
the knights of Labor strike upon their
road. This order affects go telegraph
operators and 200 clerks.

When the matter of passing resolutions came
up in the third district Congressional conven-
ton that sterling and veteran Republican, Hon.
Joseph Farwell, of Unity. made one of his char
acteristic and stirring speeches. Our resolutions
are always right, he said, and our principles
are the only ones by which the nation and
State can live politically. He had been reading
the speech of Chairman Clifford at Bangor and
from it would suppose that all purity, temper
ance and honesty were combined in the dem
years and could take his oath to the contrary
of Mr.. Cliford's assertions. Mr.. Farwel de-
nounced the democratic party and its princi-
pies. That party could not have a meeting
without stuthng the ballot boxes. State after
State would throw as many democratic votes
as they wanted and count out any quantity of
republican ballots. The republican party the
speaker continued, was for the protection of
the laboring man and educating the rising
generation. 1t would give the colored man his
rights. The speaker was heartily applauded
during his remarks.

lobster flatChlng u Success.

The fact that the L. :. Fish Commission had
succeeded in hatching lobster eggs by artificial
means was recently published. The Eastport
sentinel has published a detailed description Of
the experiments from we'll informed correspond
cnt at Woods iIol, and is sanguinc that in few
ears the sections of the coast depleted by over
fishing viii he restorked and the great salad fish
again become plenty, to delight not only the hearts
and rt"marhs of the consumers hut also the fisher
man whose former occupation will be restored to
him, The Scntincls correspondent saws:
The proper appliances for fish propagation were
not completed at the Woods IIoll station until in
August of lSS3, OF after the close of the lobster
Matching season, and it WAS impossible to make
more than Il few preliminary trials, with the view
to Il better understanding of the methods to be
pursued this year. The hatching season actively
began in the Woods Iiol region about the middle
of the present month (May), and everything possi
Bile has been done to the success of the new
venture. The results, even at this early date, have
far exceeded all expectations, and all the large
fish troughS contained i'll the hatchery building are
tcening with Young Holsters, which, during their
first stages swim actively about at the surface of
the water. They require to be fed from the time
they are hatched and unless well supplied with
food are very cannibalistic, devourng one another
without compunction. The Matching Jars are kept
supplied with eggs, and Matching will be continued
as long as the season lasts, probably into July. 1t
was not anticipated that so many young would he
obtained the first season and, in consequence, the
means for storing them are proving wholly in
sufficient; but it is now proposed to tit up one of
the open fish basins in front of the station for their
reception, and unless severe rain occurs several
million young Holsters will probably be reared to
the proper stage for planting 1t has not yet been
decided what disposition will be made of the
young this year. but many will undoubtedly be re
leased in the waters of Vineyard sound and several
shipments made to certain sections of the coast
that have been almost entirely depleted by over
fishing.
one Of the most important questions yet to be
decided in connection with this experiment Is the
length of time Young Holsters can be kept in con
fnement, as the older lobster is when planted,
the more certain it is of finding food and of escap
ing from its many enemies. The greatest destruc-
tion occurs among the very young, which swim
ming constantly at the surface, fall easy preys to
fishes.
