Goats instead of Sheep.

A prominent keeper of Angora
goats says that the clipping OF mo-
hair il worth twice as much per
mound as wool, and that these goats
shear 3 to 5 lbs. per head OF the
washed product or about the same
as middle-wool sheep. There is a de-
mand in this country for mohair,
and large quantities are imported an
nualIv from Asia Minor. That the
Anoora goat can be made to thrive
and succeed profitably in New Eng
land is plainly shown by several
small fIocks. and their value as
money-makers is gradually becoming
acknowledged in the West and South
west, especially in California, Mis-
souri,, Idaho, Wyoming and Mon
tana. Itwould indeed be refreshing
sight to see a pack of blood-thirsty
sheep-kilIing ours attack flock OF
these Dlncky and well-armed Angora
GOATS. There would not be any
doubt about the safety of the flock.
AnooPas live longer than sheep, are
hardy, prolific and rarely sick. Like
all goats they are adapted to coarse
Dasturage and the toughest land and
will winter handsomely on the cheap
est bay and other fodder. Why do
not men of brains increase this stock,
Law it's claims before the public, i'm
Droye it's character for meat and &C
0uire a handsome fortune while they
are benefitting their country in q
very positive manner.-[ Farm and

Soldiers and Civil Office.

Vermont has never been unmindful
of the demands of her soldiers upon
her gratitude. In many practical
ways the State has shown that her
regard for the soldier is not a senti-
ment merely. Even in matters of
doubtful wisdom and expediency,
when the soldiers welfare has been
the appeal, she has given him the
benefit of the doubt. No Vermont
veteran complains that the State has
been ungrateful. In particular have
civil Offices of honor and emolument
sought the Soldier out. The Offices
of the custom service have been the
rewards of his patriotism The col
lectorship at Burlington, the first in
point of emolument, has been YER
mont soldiers prize under every Re-
publican administration since the
war, and the subordinate places in
the department have been, for the
most part given to soldiers. Soldiers
have often held the more remunera-
tive offices in the postal service. Gen
orally they have had their pick of the
State offices, and in State, county or
county offices, when the contest has
been between a competent soldier
and a competent civilian, the former
has usually prevailed, This generous
preference for the soldier has been es-
pecially conspicuous in the selection
of candidates for Governor. On the
the East side the honors are even,
the soldier Governors, Washburn,
Farnham and Pingree, dividing the
dignity with civilians, Converse, Fair
banks and Dillingham;.
On the west side, however. the blue
predominates. After the civilians,
Stewart and Peck, comes the soldier,
Proctor, Lieut.-Gov in 1876, and
Governor in 1878, followed by Bar
stow, Lieut.. Gov. in 1880 and Gov
ernor in 1882; Ormsbee, Lieut.-Gov
in 1884, and Governor in 1886;
Woodbury., Lieut.. Gov. in 1888 and
a candidate for the Governorship in
1890. In 1880 the State ticket was
Farnham and Barstow, both soldiers;
in 1882, Barstow and Pingree, both
soldiers; in 1884, Pingree and 0rms-
bee, both soldiers. In no invidious
spirit are these facts enumerated.
Vermont is glad to honor the coun-
try's defenders, but old soldiers
themselves who have soldiers
frankness are quick to acknowledge
that they have been very generously
remembered, and many are saying
that fair play now demands that the
civilian have his innings. This is en-
tirely creditable to the veterans
sense of right and justice. 1t is the
characteristic of men of chivalrous
instincts, and in this spirit a very
large number Of the best and bravest
of the survivors of the late war-we
speak advisedly-are looking at this
matter of the Governorship at this
time.

Shall Republican Principles be
Overthrow by a Clique?
From the White River JUNO. Landmarl

From the White River juno. Landmark.
The politicians of the Burlington
machine and their newspaper allies
are playing a game in which their
selfishness isvery conspicuous. They
virtually say to the Republicans of
the State, 1.-The non-promotiOn rule
adopted by the convention of 1886 is
an excellent one when applied to
other tenant-GOyernors, but we
don't intend it shall apply to the
present Lieutenant-Govern who is
our candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination F" In other words, the
ayowed sentiment and resolve of the
Republican party of Vermontis of no
consequence whatever when it stands
in the way of the Benedict-Wo
bury factionI These gentlemen as
sumo to be wiser than all the other
Republicans of our State combined.
! They coolly demand the setting aside
of the rule of 1886, at their con-
venience and pleasure. No matter
how binding upon others, and in diff
ferent campaigns, in the present
campaign it must be sacrificed to
their demands for offieeI What
refreshing assumption of authority
over common Republicans
With a perversity that may seem
unreasonable to the custOm-hOuse
ring, we fail to see whence the right
they assume to rule the party comes
from. For the present we are so OBJ
stinate as to believe that the question
Of succession was settled by the
convention of 1886, and that the
action of that body established
precedent to be followed, even though
the Free Press politicians be disap-
pointed.
The decision of the convention
named was not made in haste. 1t
was the result of careful elaboration.
The Republicans of Vermont consid-
cred the promotion claimed, either
directly or indirectly, inlate years, by
the Lieutenant-GOye as unwar-
ranted 1t set it's seal against the
demand, growing up within a COM
paratively short time, that the second
executive officer should, by right,
or courtesy, claim, at the expiration
of his term of office, the Governors
seat, The feeling of the convention
was shown in the contest between
Fuller and Fairbanks for theqomina-
ton as Lieut.-Governor, Both were
excellent men, and worthy of the
position. The announcement that
Fuller if selected would not claim any
succession settled the contest.

Hon. Geo. III. Blake of the Barton

perhaps has as good a right to voice
the sentiment of the soldier as any
editor in Vermont. He gives his opin-
ion plainly with reference to Col.
Woodbury's further promotionin the
following paragraph
We think the honors bestowed already on
Col Woodbury. are adequate to reward him
and to duly honor him for any service he has
rendered the State or the country. brave
soldier, good fellow, thrifty citizen, ma
tive Vermonter, But there are hundreds OF
others in Vermont just worthy, just as
able, Just as brave soldiers, whose modesty
does not allow them to CT ovid themselves for
ward towards the Governors chair. Nobody
wishes to deprive Lieut.. Gov. Woodbury. OF
any fame. credit or honor; there are some
however. that feel that he has been well served,
and that it would be becoming in him to re-
tire when he can retire with the respect OF the
whole State. If he presses the cut and dried
arrangement of 1883 to sharp contest there
will be some pretty lively kicking in many
quarters.
