THE WASHINGTON CENTENNIAL.

The approaching centennial OF the first
Inauguration of Washington in New
York city will be an imposing national
occasion. The States are making pre-
parations to be Represented by their
Governors, State officers and militia, and
the celebration with it's grand parade
and accompanying festivities will be
one of the most notable OF the whole
series of centennial commemorations OF
the great events attending the birth and
establishment OF the American republic.
Such celebrations are not empty dis
plays of pomp ard ceremony. They
serve to promote union and harmony
among the States. to promote patriotism
and national feeling, and to hold up to
view tho example of the grand and true
men who laid the foundations of our
nation. II the day should do nothing
else but recall into clear and strong
light, for the men of this generation,
tho exalted character and noble virtues
and services of George Washington, it
ing influence and as a promoter OF
patriotism among the people.
In such celebration, Vermont. the
first born OF the republic, the STATE, one
of whose first acts as a commonwealth,
before it had gained admission to the
Union, was to tender to Washington the
services Of five thousand hardy flee-
men for the defence of American
liberty" does not wish to be left out, or
to cut an Insignificant figure. Our peo-
Pile expect the dignity and standing Of
the State to be properly represented.
They would all be sorry if, on such an
occasion, Vermont should BE- con-
spicuous either by her absence or by the
petty and picayune character of her
part in the Celebration Press.

THE MONTREAL CARNIVAL

MONTREAL, Feb. 4.-The first day Of
the carnival festivities has been ushered
in by the coolest weather experienced
here in three years. At Z o'clock this
morning the thermometer touched 30
below zero and at hali-past nine % be-
low. The American visitors, many OF
whom came completely unprepared for
such temperature, suffered terribly, and
noses ears and hands have been IN many
cases badly frost bitten. All the morn
ing the trains from the South brought a
large number OF visitors, and il the
weather moderates very enjoyable
time is anticipated. Owing to the ex'
treme cold very few visitors were pres
cut at the opening OF the t0bogganing
slides this morning. Because Of the re-
cent mild weather the ice palace is moi
so picturesque az in former years. The
ice is not 50 transparent and the towert
and walls have suffered severely from
thaws. Governor General and Lady
Stanley and their suite arrived At noon
and were conducted to the Windsor
passing under an arch manned by snow
shoers from twenty Of the leading clubs

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The "npw South" is breaking out al
over with the od-fashioned lynchingi
and murders OF negroes. At New Iberia
La, last week, one negro was lyncheC
by the Regulators" aud three others
one OF them an old man Of seventy, were
brutally whipped. Others were driven
out of the town and their cabins burned,
The man lynched was suspected OF
crime; as to the Others, a dispatch says
that mot a single man in New Iberia,
either officer or cit zen, couli, give any
tangible reason for these gross crueltles.
The dispatch adds: although a large
number of those who participated in the
attack upon the negroes are known, no
arrests have been made"
The free trade papers are just now in
sisting that we can never manufacture
tin plates in this country, that higher
duty will not enable US to do it and that
we ought to continue to depend for our
whole supply on the monopoly in Eng
land. Not many years ago these same
papers we're very sure that silk goods
could never be successfully produced in
the United States, and they almost went
into Mysteries when the duties were
made protective. Yet now each year
the silk mills in this country turn out
goods valued at more than $40, 900 900.
The death occurred in Ottawa, Dat.
last week, of Richard Holmes of Plumb
H How, Leeds County He was born in
Chatham, N. Y, in 1884, and was there
fore 104 years of age. He enjoyed a
more than local reputation. 1t ia con-
ceded that he was the oldest Mason in
America. having been initiated in 1918
On the occasion OF the 100.h anniversary
Of his birth the Masons commemorated
the event.
The fear of the Republicans Of France
that Boulanger will attempt to follow
the example of Napoleon is a reminder
Of Flcquel's remark in the Senate while
Boulanger was member of that august
body. He asked Boulanger that il it
ever occurred to him that at his (Bou-
lsnger's) age, Napoleon was dead.

THE FIRST CATTLE IMPORTERS.

Perhaps all Of our Vermont dairymen
are not familiar with the historical fact
that the first importer Of cattle into
America was Christopher Columbus. Or
his second voyage to the new world IL
1893. Columbus brought bull and sew
eral COWS. Before that time the nearest
approach to the beef and mich cattl'
now 80 abundant in North and South
America probably was the American
bison. The wild cattle OF Texas and
South America are supposed to be des
pendants of the cattle brought over by
Columbus and his Spanish successors
The first importation Of cattle into New
England was made by Edward Winslow,
one Of the Pilgrim Fathers and an early
governor of the Massachusetts, colony
who brought over a bull and three heif-
ers from England in 1924. At that time
no fixed breeds were known in Eng
land. Cattle were found wild on thai
island by the Romans two thousand years
ago, but all the Improvements which
have made the English breeds so famou'
the world around has been the work OF
the last two hundred years. The aston
ishing development Of the bovine animal
in all valuable qualities has thus been a
comparatively modern affair. The prog.
ress made in this as in other branches oil
the busiress during the last century has
been wonderful. and the coming century
will probably show equal or greater
progress 10 the increase Of the average
value OF cattle, II not in the develop
ment OF special qualities in the individ-
nal COW or OK.
