New Hampshire Democrats and Demo
Gratis out of New Hampshire have been
riding hopes high horse over what they
thought prospective disruption among
New Hampshire Republicans. New
Hampshire Republicans don't disrupt
worth cent; and that's what's the mat
ter with our friends the enemy today.
From the New York Tribune.
Says the Burlington Free Press: "The
summer visitor crop does not begin to be
worked for all it is worth in the state.
1t is a crop worth cultivating. 1t pays
well and brings quick cash returns. Ver-
mont farmers may safely bank on their
trout streams and lakes to much greater
extent than they do. There are millions
in EN-" This is true and timely. There
is every reason why Vermont should be
filled with summer visitors. 1t is easily
reached from all the great cities on the
Atlantic seaboard; it's scenery is beauti-
full and in some cases grand; its air is
pure, and its climate delightful. While,
last of all, it's citizens are sturdy, honest
and intelligent Americans, whom it is a
pleasure to meet and know.

votes half column of its space to cry
ing down the Vermont agricultural and
immigration commission and it's work,
and five columns to setting forth the
attractiveness of Terminal City as a
place of residence. That is very fair
sample of the way the argus works for
the advancement of the local interests of
Vermont.

Many of the horsemen at White River
Junction rendered the same verdict as
that rendered by the Sun-the kite-shaped
track for speed, the half-mile track for
sport. AS the great mass of Vermonters
who attend the races at our county or
state fairs go for sport, it is pretty safe
to reckon that it will be some time before
the kite track supersedes the half-mile
track.

For the information of the ArguS and
Patriot we call attention to the facts that
the report of the commissioner of Agri-
cultural and manufacturing interests
was out among the first of the state
officers and that on page 80 of his report
(appearing also in another place today,
he says: "The total cost of this Bureau
for two years does not exceed $4,000. only
about One-third of which can properly
be charged to the cost of the establish
ment of the Swedish colonies" Would
it not be we'll, Bro. Atkins, to read the
report before criticising it in the offhand
and absurd manner of this weeks issue
And also read nothing into the Commits
sioner's report that is not therein, or
leave out what it clearly states, for the
sake of making point.
Morrisville News and Citizen.
Right here we think few of our west
side exchanges show very bad taste in
finding fault because the state fair was
located at White River Junction. YER
mont does not all lay on the west side of
the mountain, and while Burlington
might better accommodate the west and
northern part of the state, White River
junction surely better accommodates the
east and at least a considerable portion
of the southern part. We think the idea
of alternating from the west to the east
side is perfectly fair, and when given
pleasant weather the Junction will set
Burlington an example that will cause
the lake city to hustle pretty lively to
equal.
Wilmington Times
Is it not about time the press of the
state stopped wrangling over the falling
off in the Republican majority and turned
its attention to advocating some good
wholesome and effective Legislature this
fall? The people of the state care vastly
more about what is to be done in the
Legislature this fall than they do about
how much majority Gov. Page got or
why he did not get more.
Hardwick Gazette.
The st. Johnsbury Republican thinks
that Sin view of the great expense likely
to be entailed on the taxpayers of the
state by the new insane asylum and of
the further fact that the BrattlebOrO
trustees are willing (and can be compel
led) to care for ali the states patients
the cheapest and the best thing the
state can do is to abandon the Waterbury
asylum and to refrain from throwing
good money after bad" That's right;
now let the st. Johnsbury bull-in-a-china-
shop rip the roof off the state house and
sell it for junk. Shingles are cheaper,
and this is a '!reform' administration.
