Keep cool, good Republican friends.
You had your innings in 1888, and if
the Democratic roOsters crow this
year a little too vigorously to be
pleasant to your ears, just grin and
bear it. The Democrats have had to
do that lots of times during the past
quarter of a century. Montpelier
Argus.
Yes, Bro. Atkins, we will keep cool; ;
but in your hilarity don't forget that
you will have to bear about the same
sort of music the next quarter of a
century that you did in the past.
Democracy will find the "g. O. p"
mighty interesting to them the next
twenty-five years.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Another year is drawing to close, and it
is fitting that we give thought to the multi
piled blessings which We, as a people, are per-
mitted to enjoy. Health generally prevails
throughout our state The husbandman
has gathered his usual harvest. The laborer
Is receiving generous recompense for his
services. Our mills, workshops and quarries
are prosperous. Interest in the cause of tenn
peranee is active, and all the varied agencies
educational, moral, charitable-which make
our beloved state the home of happy and
contented people, are being fostered as never
before. The manifold blessings call for eX-
pressions of gratitude to the Author of all
good, from every home in our land. There
fore, in conformity to the time-honOred Gus
tom of our fathers. and IN accordance with
the proclamation of the President of the
United States, | do hereby appoint Thurs
day, the 27th day of November, instant, to
be a day of thanksgiving and praise, and l
recommend that, sustaining from all secular
pursuits, we assemble in our accustomed
places of worship and unitedly render thanks
to Almighty God for his countless mereies
and benefits. On that day let us not forget
that there is no way in which a grateful peo-
pie can offer more acceptable worship than in
remembering the poor. THE liberal soul
shall BE- made fat, and he that watereth shall
be watered also himself 'Inasmuch as We
have done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, We have done it unto me-"
Given under my hand and the seal of the
state, in the executive chamber at Mont
pelier this 10th day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hun
bred and ninety, and of the independence
of the United States the one kundred and
fifteenth.

Rates of Yield of Farm Products

The November returns to the de-
partment of agriculture of rates of
yield per acre make the average for
corn 1880 bushels, potatoes, $3.50
bushels; buckwheat, 1850 bushels;
hay, 1.2O tons; tobacco, 71Spounds.
The corn crop makes the smallest
yield reported, excepting that of
1881, which was 1850 bushels. That
of 1887 was 20.10 bushels. 1t is
eighty-three per cent. of the average
of the last ten years, a period which
included four unusually poor years,
and only seventy-five per cent. of last
years crop. The indications of re-
cent returns have been so uniform
that the estimate for permanent rec
ord will not be likely to change this
figure unless by IL slight fraction
The decline of the last decade is not
due to Impairment of fertility, but to
unfavorable meteorological condi-
tions. Highest rates are in New
England, as usual New York aver
ages 25.3, Pennsylvania 272. Ohio
2O.7, Michigan 26.7, Indiana 243,
Illinois %, Iowa %, Missouri 25.S,
Kansas 11.3, Nebraska 20.3. The
principal decline is in the corn-sur-
plus states The average rate of
yield of potatoes is 57.5 bushels.
The condition of the crop in October
was lower than in any reported pre-
vious crop, except in 1887, being
SIT against 615, when the rate of
yield was 500 bushels per acre. 1t
imports scarcity and warrants high
prices. The rates of yield of princi-
pal states are as follows: New York,
81 bushels; Pennsylvania, IS; Michi-
gan, 50; Ohio, 46; Indiana. 81; IL
linois, 80; Iowa, As; Missouri, 80;
Kansas, %; Nebraska, 27; Minneso-
ia, IS; Maine reports 95, New Hamp-
shire 90, and Vermont 90. The
yields of the hay crop are large, as
a rule throughout the country The
cane-sugar crop will be large one.
and sugar beets have done well west
of the Missouri, indicating a proba-
bly, rapid development of the sugar
industry.

When a bill is dead is there no resurrection
for it? Is Vermont to be put to shame by the
legislation which denies her place in the
worlds fair? Those members of the Legisla-
ture who voted against a suitable appropria-
ton could not have sought the best interests
of the future of our grand old State. To be-
little resources by such economy is I'M
wise. We desire to cultivate in our Young
men loyalty to their State. Can it be done
without showing to the world that Vermont
can produce something besides spruce gum
and maple sugar? With $4,000 we could
make a creditable exhibit. In the name of
all the good sense Graded in the Green Noun
tain State let us not suffer for this unneces-
sary humiliation. Every patriotic enter
prisng citizen of Vermont should give this
bill his hearty support. Is it too late to re-
consider the mistaken action of the Legisa-
turef Let Vermont show her colors at the

Various estimates of the next Con-

at anywhere from 100 to 135. But
a score or so either way doesn't make
any difference. The lowest estimate
makes a rope long enough for them
