Some Wild Statements.

The Cdledonion finds " two practical
difficulties" in the way of the success
of Commissioner Valentines colonial
ton plan. The first, the non-ownership
by the state of the deserted lands, is a
minor difficulty that will be surmounted
if all things else are favorable and we
should sooner expect that the rivalry of
different sections of the state to possess
the proposed colonists will operate to
keep prices down than that anything
like a concerted movement" would
" create boom that would discourage
or defeat the scheme" Nothing very
serious in that quarter is apparent at
this time. The CaledOnian'S other
practical difficulty is indeed sockdol-
ager: "That Vermont is, in effect, al
ready mortgaged to another national
ity," to wit, the French Canadians.
Already" the Coledonion declares,
they own good share of the farms
in the northern tier of counties" This
is important, if true. We were so i'm
pressed with the absurdity of the state
ment, so far as it applies to Vermont in
general, that we had the curiosity to
make some inquiries in " the northern
tier of counties" where, it was alleged,
the Canadians "already own a good
share of the farms" From Franklin
county, where the French farm-owners
would be as likely to be found as else
where, we had this answer: 81 have
talked with number of prominent cit
liens and businessmen, lifetime resi-
dents of the county and well acquainted
all through it, and they can hardly name
one Canadian farmer in each town.
Some have homes of their own of from
one to two, ten or twenty acres, and
but few of these. Canadian farmers, as
such, according to the most liberal esti-
mate yet made by our town representa-
tive, do not compose more than one per
cent of the county. These are the out
side figures, and probably one-half of
that would be nearer the truth"
From Orleans county the answer was
elf the Cdledonian means that a
good share is the largest share, it il
away off. There are some French
