THE COMING CENTENNIAL,

We publish the following circular
issued by the Vermont commission
ers having the matter in charge, as
general invitation to contribute
something toward the fund asked
for:
Burlington, VT, March 10, 1889.
DEAR SIR;-The undersigned com,
lingham to represent the State Z Of
Vermont and to arrange for proper
representation of the National Guard
at the centennial celebration of the
Inauguration of General George
Washington, which occurs in New
York on April 80, have completed
arrangements for the transportation
of the entire militia force of the
State, comprising twelve companies
of infantry, the light battery and
band the whole constituting force
of about 767 officers and men. The
troops propose to furnish their own
rations for the four days trip, and
will also contribute large share of
the expense, as well as volunteering
to serve without pay. We shall
need some $4,000 to make UP the
amount necessary to meet the ex-
pense, and, as the Legislature is not
in session, Of course, we are left
without adequate funds. At this
date almost every Staten the Union
has reported that they will be rep
resented with troops on this occa-
sion. Therefore becomes necessary
to appeal to the patriotism and lib
erality of our citizens, and we call
upon the sons of Vermont to main
tain the honor and reputation of the
Green Mountain State. May we
ask your prompt attention to this
request? Please remit all subscrip-
tions to VIM. II. Gilmore %. M.
generaD, Treasurer, Fairlee, Vt.
With the consent of the donor,
subscriptions to the fund will be
duly acknowledged through the
columns of the State press.

INTEMPERATE PROHIBITION.

Miss Kate Field inaugurated hel
crusade in favor of high license by
a lecture in Washington last Friday
night on the 'Intemperance of
Prohibition" to large audience.
Ex-Surgeon General Hammond pre-
sided. Miss Field stated that she
had been led to investigate the ques-
ton because Of her experience in
endeavoring to secure some brandy
in so-called prohibition States for
medicinal purposes. Chemical an
alysiS showed that the brandy was
a criminal adulteration. She at once
set about the study of the subject,
and has arrived at the conclusion
that high license, stringent laws
against authorizations, and the abol-
ition, through moral influence, of
the habit of treating, are the best
means of aiding the cause of real
temperance. She gave history of
sumptuary Legislation in all pro-
hibition states, and claimed that
prohibitory statutes do not restrict
the sale of liquors; that they en-
courage authorizations and educate
they people in hypocrisy.

1t is matter Of congratnlation
that President Harrison is mindful
of the pledges of the Chicago plat
form, and is carrying them out as
opportunity occurs. He adheres
firmly to the principal of selecting
Territorial officials from the citizens
of the Territory itself, and not max
ing such positions the reward Of
party service of politicians in the
states. Of course other presidents
have fully realized the fact that ter
ritorial offices should be given to
actual residents, familiar with the
needs of the people and personally
known to them, but the tremendous
pressure brought to bear upon a
President for lucrative offices has
hitherto proved too strong for the
incumbent. The territories have no
direct vote fer President and Con-
gressmen, and SO they have been
Systematically snubhed. We are
glad to know that Mr.. Harrison is
a strong enough man to do his duty
in this matter.

There is much interest ia ken in
the outcome of the State election in
Rhode Island, which occurs next
month. Some seven thousand and
more naturalized citizens will vote
then for the first time, and the pol
iticians are in a state of far from
pleasing uncertainty as to the way
the new element will take. The
new voters are, of course, most nu-
merous in the cities, 1920 having
been registered under the constitu-
tional amendment in Providence,
$40 in Pawtucket and 328 in New
port. The completed returns from
the entire state havenot been receiv-
ed, but 81 out of the 81 cities and
towns have sent in their registration
reports, and they show that the
naturalized citizens are no slower
than in any other state to take ad.
vantage of the opportunity to get
their names on the voting lists.

MY EXPERIENCE IN EUROPE
BcrIin-PatriOtic League Meeting.

After the adventure described in
my last letter, one would naturally
suppose a person would take steps
to prevent the recurrence of simil
ar calamity, but such was not the
case, for although, as | wrote you, |
returned to the hotel a "sorer and
wiser man." still, when the physical
effects of that unfortunate encounter
had disappeared, recklessness and
curiosity reasserted themselves, and
instead of curling a passion which
has constantly led me into all sorts
Of danger -namely, the study Of
human nature as seen among fam
atics,-I resolved to he present at a
meeting of the Patriotic League,
which, | accidentally learned, was to
be held at G. Opera House.
Through mutual friend ] was
introduced to the secretary of the
League, who placed at my disposal
a seat on the platform, which, how
ever, for prudent reasons, | declined,
and told him that all | desired was
to be present, and that if he would
kindly furnish me with a note to the
doorkeeper he would secure my
eternal gratitude. Thereupon he
favored me with his card, and arm
ed with this formidable passport !
secured admittance.
The interior of the Opera
House was elegantly furnished and
brilliantly lighted, and contrasted
strangely with the ragged attire of
the majority Of those who formed
the audience. | was on the point of
sitting down near the entrance, when
very teroclous looking man step
ped up to me and, with diabolical
grin, proceeded to shake hands, CIV
ing me peculiar grip, which was,
no doubt, one Of the secret signs.
Seeing that the sign was not return
ed-although l attempted to initiate
it his suspicious were aroused, and
he called the attention of several of
his friends to the fact and advocated
using force to expel me. Fortunate
ly the doorkeeper noticed the dis
turbance and came to my assistance.
A few words of explanation from
him satisfied them and | was allow.

campaign. lie said: "Gentlemen,
1T is no time to use the apothecary's
scales when you come to weigh the
services of the men who saved the
nation" If | were asked to define
my ideas on this pension question in

THE CIDER QUESTION.

Very many of the farmers of Yer
mont are protesting against the
cider law on our statutes, They
feel that the law is blow to a le-
gitimate industry and that an or
chard nowadays is a good deal like
self righteousness, the more you
have of it the worse you are of.
We notice that the Rutland Herald
is publishing the views of farmers
and others in various sections of the
State upon this cider question and
incidentally upon the questions of
prohibition and high license. The
Herald publications thus far indi-
cate strong feeling in favor of
high license and the enactment of
laws prohibiting sales to minors and
habitull drunkards. Nearly every
one of those interviewed expresses
dis"nst with the last legislature.

Beginning Poultry Raising.


We admire the young fancier who d
governed by taste, for it is much bet
ter and safer way OF beginning than by
picking up this or that breed merely
because some breeders have lauded
them to the skies. Taste Is usually ac.
companied by fondness for the object
OF choice, and every experienced fan.
cler knows that a real love for the
birds one keeps is q great element tc
success. Begin in spring or fall tc
breed poultry, but be sure to begin
slowly, and learn by degrees the art Of
mating, caring for and managing 6
small flock before you launch headlonp
into breeding on large scale. Make
the keeping of poultry secondary
pursuit In the beginning and until you
have found it more agreeable, pleasur.
able and better paying than tho occu.
patton you first followed. Begin with
good breeding stock though you may
have to pay big price. Remember
that this is putting your money TO big
interest After you have started, their
care or keeping will cost no more, or
not much more, than If the same mum.

the profits from the sale or use of the
eggs and their living product, for either
ornament or utility, is much greater
