VERMONT DlsGRAcED.

Within the past month this state has
suffered violation of her laws more
shameful and far more demoralizing in
far reaching effect than the Sullivan
Kilrain affair in Mississippi and as
yet the proper officials have taken no
steps to vindicate the honor of YER
mont as the Governor OF the barbar-
Gus state of Mississippi has done.
Two great lottery schemes have been
drawn openly in the past month, one
at St. Albans and one at Montpelier.
We will not by giving names further
disgrace the organizations that have
openly chosen to violate the laws of
the state, to get a few paltry dollars.
Over 10000 tickets sold at st. AL
bans.
Nearly as many more At Montpe-
lier.
The drawings held in the presence
Of officials sworn to suppress just such
gambling schemes
If it is right for these organizations
to openly violate the law Of the state
and run lotteries why not let every one
do the same?
Massachusetts has prosecuted a
Post that brought shame on the noble
order Of the G.. A. r. and on that
commonwealth by running a lottery
like these two mentioned.
How long will Vermont see herself
disgraced?
That these lotteries were run for
charitable objects does not alter the
shameful character of the matter.
The state forbids the sale or adver-
tising of the Louisiana lottery yet per-
mits the open sale of tickets for the
advertising and drawing of lotteries
here.
Let us boast no more of our superb
ority in morals over Mississippi or
Louisiana.
Verify Vermont is very much like
the Pharisee of Christ's time and Mis-
sissippi the poor Publ ican.

who was elected or whether any one
was chosen. But civil affairs have
moved along apparently as well as tho
the question of governor had been clear

This is the season of the year when
city boarders come into the country.
The country is new to many of these,
and many of these are new to country
people. We wish to assure our friends
Of our cordial sympathy in the trying
circumstances in which they may some
times find themselves. We assure them
that our dogs will not kick them nor
our horses hook them unless they are
abruptly familiar. We trust that the
natives will behave in a friendly man
ner towards these strangers who have
wandered from their accustomed paths.
OF course they are not used TO our ways
and may do things that seem queer to
us, but we hope no one will sit on the
fence and guy them as they pass along
the road, or throw small stones or roots
Of grass at them, or smile at oddities of
dress or other idiosyncracies they may
discover. Such treatment is liable to
generate homesickness. II is not nee
essary to pretend that we know some
of their city uncles in order to cheat
them out of few hundred dollars. Let
us be honest with them and give them
wholesome impressions of a wholesome
manner Of living.

Free Sample Copies This Week

We send out a large number ofsam-
pie copies of this issue Of the HERALD.
We ask all who receive one to look
it over carefully, and if they do we are
sure they will agree with us that it is the
BEST LOCAL PAPER
in Orange or Windsor Counties. We
propose to publish all the news from
these counties and to make the paper,
although the lowest in price, the best
one for you to take.
Be sure and read the great Ameri-
can story by Emma II. Southworth,
than whom there are few more inter-
esting story writers, entitled
"FETTERED BY FATE"
1t will be run in liberal installments
on the inside pages and will be the best
story we ever published.
Another noted American writer,
who has already made her name ia
nous the world over as the author of
''The Quick and the Dead" Amelia
Rives, has written a delightful short
story entitled
my LADY TONGUE"
This we begin in this issue. Be
sure and read it.
Now why do we do thisI Adver-
tising is dull and we have room for
these stories without crowding out any
of the news or the other good things
we publish every week, and besides we
want every one who does not now take
the HERALD to try it during the next
three months.

An interesting feature of the muster
at West Randolph will be the presence
of the Fuller battery of Brattleboro with
four new steel breech-loading grified guns
with 32 2-10 inch bore, capable of
carrying proiectiles six miles. They
are said % be the finest specimens of
artillery ever produced, surprising the
famous Krupp guns Of Germany or the
Armstrong of England. They are the
first that have been given out by the
Government. We are glad these guns
are coming here, as we have small
army of woodchucks near the camping
grounds and have failed to rout it. 1t
may be this battery can drive the enc
my out of its rifle pits and bring about
a surrender.

Col. Walker was shrewd when he
accepted the presidency Of the Associa-
ton of railway Presidents, in fixing his
term of office with full salary at not
less than three years, whether the AS
soeiation itself continued to exist OF not.
Human nature is about the same among
high as among low officials and there
are present indications that the whole
scheme will, ere long, crumble into the
dust. At is unfortunate that some Just
and equitable plan of operations cannot
be agreed upon and abided by in the
of railroad business.

SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER,

Much is said nowadays in the news
papers and at gatherings of the farmers
about Vermont and how to increase her
material prosperity. The truth of the
matter is, to begin with, this State is
in as prosperous condition as the 9th
er States of the Union. We are pass
ing out of the war period when farm
products commanded high prices, on
account of unusual demands and the
withdrawal of productive forces, and
are coming into the ante-bellum state.
The descent is not so easy to bear as
the ascent. 1t was pleasant to make
money fast and enjoy the extras of life
and irksome to come back to the old
methods of saving by pennies as the
rank and file seem destined to do. The
disadvantage under which our farmers
now labor is that the price of farm la
bor has not settled down in the same
ratio as the price of farm products, and
vet with the aid of machinery now in
use it costs but little if any more for
help on the farm than formerly. The
fact seems to be that man can and
does on farm produce by his labor
much more than formerly. The natural

The degree of ID. ID. which our col
leges confer give a man little tempo
rary notoriety, but it is scattered so
freely that more notoriety can be Sc
cured by declining than by accepting it.
Hence, nearly every year, in imitation
of the late Henry Ward Beecher, some
one or two men will decline the proffer-
ed honor. There is vast difference
between a popular preacher and a teach
er of theology, but not many know it.
Only now and then is a clergyman hon
