OPPORTUNITIES THROWN AWAY,
That enterprising paper, the Rut-
land Herald, reasons and argues in
diligently when it says:-
The use of the term abandoned
farms" has been misunderstood by
some, Vermont farms, as q rule,
are not sterile, nor have the COM
paratively small number now I'M
titled been deserted because their
possibilities had been exhausted or
found insufficient to warrant further
cultivation. The real reasons it is
not necessary now to review at
length; but they lie less with the
farms themselves than with the
people, who have failed to realize
and secure the full possibilities Of
Vermont's farming lands.
he farmers OF the state, however.
are giving signs Of new life and
vigor. They arc thinking and rea
soning. They have learned that
the uses to which farms are put mus
be consistent with the nature of the
soil, the climate and the location il
the best results are to be attained
and that they must put brain, as
well as muscle, into their work
They are wisely giving increased
attention to the raising of horses
and cattle; and already they ar,
reaping an encouraging reward,

minion Government, has obtained
connections on American soil, both
West and East, which make it a
formidable competitor Of American
railroad systems. 1t altogether dis
regards the short-haul clause of the
Interstate law, tn fact, its man
agement makes rates with a sole
view to obtaining business, and as
the law now stands there Is no way
of checking it. The fact that this
preceding benefits a few cities and
certain sections at the expense o.
Others, is no argument FORTS further
continuance.
The Grand Trunk Railway, on
the other hand, also has its connec-
tions both East and West, and of
course completes for business, but
does it in harmony with the Inter-
state Commerce law, and endeavors
to comply with its workings, not
knowingly or willfully violating any
provisions that our own railroads
are compelled to observe.
The skill with which the Inter
state Commission, headed by Judge
Cooley, have administered so diff.
cult and incomplete a piece of legis.
lation as the present law, gives THEN
opinions on the necessities of the
matter great weight. Action on
railroad affairs will be q matter OF
pressing necessity in the coming
Congress. And this question Of
imposing effective regulation on the
Canadian competitors of our rail
roads will be the most important
feature in this connection.

STRANGE PENSION RULING.

Assistant Secretary Bussey last
week rendered a decision of interest
to all Grand Army men on the pen
sion claim of Daniel B. Kaufman of
the Forty-eighth regiment, Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers, which was brought
before him for reconsideration. In
doing this Mr. Bussey overrules an
opinion of his predecessor that a
dishonorable discharge operates as
bar to pension. His decision will,
we think, disgust every soldier who
did any fighting for the Union, for
its practical effect is to reward the
men who were guilty of cowardice
or insubordination.
The reasoning by which Assistant
Secretary Bussey reached this deci-
sion is, to our mind, clearly wrong.

MALONE FOR PURITYOF ELECTIONS

MALONE FOR PURITY OF ELECTIONS.
General William Malone, in his
speech before the Virginia Repub,
lican Convention that named him
for Governor, uttered one para
graph that the HERALD would like
to see bIazoned in letters of gold a
foot high at every voting precinct
in the United States. 1t is this:-
"There can be no safety to the
peace and well-being of organized
society, no security to republican
form of Government, no protection
to life, liberty and property, where
the agencies Of organized govern
ment and representative trust are
inaugurated by means of polluted
retarns. Such invitation for the
CONSUMPTION of the governmental
power Of any constituent body must
sooner or later come to plague the
inventors. 1t opens wide the field
to the introduction Of every danger
to which the interests of organized
society can be exposed"
This telling utterance derives ad-
dltional emphasis from the fact that
it comes from political leader
and organizer of the type at which
mugwumps are wont to sheer as
"practical politicians"
1t is not denied by the Democrats
Of Virginia that they bride the col
ored voters and falsify election re-
turns. They admit it and justify it
on the score Of the alleged necessity
of avoiding "negro domination"
But does it never occur to them that
they arc familiarizing the young
men of the South with a most dan
gerous form of crime and imbuing
them with the idea that the end
justifies the means?
General Mahone's words have
been spoken none too soon. If COR
rupt and fraudulent practices are
sanctioned because Of the supposed
necessity of avoiding "negro domi-
nation" how are they going to be
stopped when, as a result of the
bonefcent Republican policy of ed
ucation, the shadow of that excuse
no longer exists?
The Republican candidate for
Governor of Virginia has pledged
himself to clean and honest cam,
paign. Let Mckinney, the Demo
cratic candidate, do the same, and
see that his party sticks to it. The
eyes of the country are on Virginia
this fall, and the country will judge
which of the two parties there can
most safely be intrusted with power.
"By their fruits we shall know
them," and fruits in this connection
means campaign methods.

MORE ENTERPRISE WANTED IN
ESSEX COUNTY.


Appended is letter we have re-
ceived from Commissioner Valentine
of Bennington. 1t was not written
nor intended for publication, and
though we may be lacking somewhat
in courtesy by publishing it, yet as
the HERALD is devoted to the inter
ests of Essex County, and as the
county offers such superior advan-
tages for settlement, we must run
the risk of being charged with dis
courtesy, especially when so much is
at stake.
Now the HERALD has done its
part in bringing to the attention of
Commissioner Valentine the superior
advantages Essex County can offer
to intending settlers, and he shows
his appreciation Of it, but if our
citizens do not and are not sufficient
ly enterprising to render assistance
in this matter, upon them must rest
the responsibility. As far as the
town of Brighton is concerned, its
Listers report that they have not
yet received the circular sent out by
the Commissioner, consequently they
are exempt from censure, and it is
not now too late for them to take
action. Norton is alive to her in
terests, for to our personal know
ledge the first lister of that town
forwarded letter last Monday to
the Commissioner, which he has
doubtless received ere this. Of its
contents we know nothing, but feel
warranted in asserting-judging by
some remarks Of his on the subject
that an effort is being made to boom
that portion of our county. But
what have the other towns done ?
Echo answers, What!
Shake off this apathy fellow citi-
zens and rise to the exigencies Of
the occasion. Even if we do not
succeed in inducing immigration
within our borders, we shall at least
have the satisfaction Of knowing
that we did our level best to secure
it, but we can't say as much now.
Remember tits no disgrace
TO be beaten in a race;
But there is not to race at all.
Our columns are open for any in
formation Or suggestions upon this
subject of the opening up of more
of Essex County for settlement, a
subject that should interest and
enthuse every citizen. The following
is the letter referred to:
Bennington, Aug. "a, 1889.
Editor, The HERALD,
My Dear Sir:
AS your Listers
failed to report the facts relating TO
unoccupied lands in your county, I
was not aware of them before read
ing the editorial in your issue of the
23d inst, and you may be sure l
was very much surprised. If the
representative of the Swedes visits
the State for the purpose of passing
judgment on the practicability of
colonizing some parts of Vermont
WITH his countrymen, it Is now my
intention to visit your section; for,
surely, no part of Vermont is in
more need of settlers from without
the State than is your county.
Thanking YOU for the courteous
manner in which you have spoken
of this bureau, the interest you have
manifested, and also for the infor.
nation l have CLEANED from the
article referred to, / remain,
Yours Truly,
A. B. VALENTINE, Com'r.

RESTRICTION NEEDED ON CANADIAN
COMPETITION.

COM re IL lUN.
Current developments in the
Northwestern railroad situation af-
ford striking evidence of the neces-
sity of amending the Interstate
Commerce law. Judge Cooley, the
chairman of the Interstate Commits
sion, who was fortunately i'll Chica-
go at critical juncture, has acted
wisely in warning the railroads
against openly breaking the INV as
it now stands. But he bears une-
quivocal testimony to the defects Of
the present statute, particularly as
regards the immunity with which
Canadian roads can violate provis-
ions that American railroads are
bound to observe.

Drilling Match.

For some time past a rivalry has exist
ed between the miners Of the Cupel and
the G. o. ID. mines as to which mine
possessed the best miner and good deal
of talk was INDUCED in as to the ability Of
a certain G.. O. ID. miner to drill deeper
hole in a certain time than miner
backed by the Cupel miners. The talk re-
suited in wager and the drilling match
took place on New Years day, on Stock
ton Hill. Barney Coleman was the miner
backed by the Cupel miners and Richard
seccombe'by the G. o. ID. workers under
the ground. The conditions OF the bet
were as to which of the favorites could
drill the deepest hole, in rock selected for
the purpose, within an hour. All the
miners III The vicinity gathered to witness
the work Of the two men, and considera-
bic money was bet on the result. Cole
man succeeded in driving his drill into
the rock nearly twelve inches farther
than Seccombe, and thus establishing
his reputation as the best man with the
drill in either of the mines. Ii is moi
probable that he will be allowed to rest
long on bis laurels as it IN understood
that he will be challenged soon for anothe,
trial Of his skill. In the meantime the
boys Of the Cupel mine are rejoicing oyel
their victory.
