WHAT sUPERINTENDENr PALMrE
THTNRa

The Herdid says: Mr.. Palmer. Statf
Superintendent of Education, writes !
newspaper letter telling what should be
done with the direct tax money, IA
would have it go to the schools, but no,
directly; it ''shOuld be used in special
work, either for the Normal School or
for skilled supervision, or for furnishing
the towns with libraries as aids TO the
schools"
There are several things TO be said re-
garding this. In the first place, it would
certainly be fine thing if the Normal
Schools could have $4,000, but the
legislature has no moral right to give the
peoples money to any such institutions
as these Normal Schools are, and if it
had there are many sprivate academies
and the like entitled to at least equal
consideration.
'Skilled supervision" would be a good
thing TO have, but that would not mean
anything like what either the State,
counties or towns have ever had or what
there is any rational provision of law for
having now.
Scattering the money among the towns
for libraries ''as aids to the schools
would be in effect to utterly waste it, as
a moments reflection will tell anyone.
Again, Mr.. Palmer says that the best
way to improve the schools with the
money is "not by dividing the income to
the towns" That may be so, but the
doctrine that the people are not to have
their own money is hard to maintain.
If Congress had acted under it there
would be no $4,000 for Vermont to
bother about.

Mr.. and Mrs. Within were on theii
way te the Hot Springs, where he in.
tended to get relief from his rheumatism
in the baths. At a way station drunk
en- travelling man boarded the train and
was put TO bed in the berth next to Mr.

after Mr.. W. woke up with a dreadful
stitch in his side. Like good dutiful
wife Mrs. w. arose and went TO the lava
tory to make strong, extra strong, mus
tard plaster, with which TO relieve the
pain Of her liege lord.
On her return she pulled the wrong
curtain aside and placed the plaster upon
the stomach of the senseless, drunken
drummer. Then she went 10 the lava
tory, washed her hands and returned to
her berth, getting into the right section
and found Mr.. W. asleep.
Finally loud groan was heard, ther
these words: "0h, my stomach, my
stomach. Oh-h-hl" This was fol
lowed by, ''Il never touch another droI
as long as long as live. Oh, it's burn

BY this time heads were peeping oui
from behind curtains and the porter wa'
on his way to the travelling mans berth
OF sudden out came the bed clothel
from the L. MS berth, and cry Of
''Oh, my, there is my stomach! I'm
deadV The exclamation was topped
of by the mustard plaster being throw
out on the aisle of the car. The portel
then grabbed the drummer and sh0Ol
him until awake. During the frs

VERMONT SUGAR MAKERS

There is quite diversity of opinion as
TO the advantage the bounty on maple
sugar will become to the farmers of ouI
state. We give Col. Forbes version, who
is the official receiving the papers, and
the most likely to know whereof he
speaks at this date. He says:
Inc sugar bounty question of the
NC kinley bill promises to be of great
benefit to Vermont farmers. The sugar
producers of the State were slow at first
TO avail themselves of the provisions OF
the act requiring them to file notices and
execute bonds to obtain Government
license, but during the closing days OF
the fiscal year ending June 80, and on
which date the time for filing notices ex.
pres, they have sent in their applications
by the hundreds TO Deputy Collector
Forbes, the result being that more than
1000 sets of executed papers have been
filed up to six o'clock tonight byas many
sugar producers. Notices and applica-
lions applying for the bounty had alsf
been received from 125 25morefarmers, max.
ing total of 2740 farmers who have a.
vailed themselves of the bounty law
Nearly all of the large sugar makers in
the state have executed the necessary ma.
pers, among those who have Bpplied foI
Government license being ex-Gov. J,
Gregory Smith of st. Albans, who has
an orchard of 200O trees; VIM. w. Grout
who owns an extensive orchard on his
home farm in Kirby; Gov. Carroll. S.
Page, who operates several maple bushes
IN Lamoille county; ex Speaker Josiah
Grout OF Derby, successful farmer and
sugar producer. The largest number of
Hnnllnlf1nng
Lamoille, Caledonia Orange and Wind
ham counties.
The supply of application blanks fur
mshed by InIernal Revenue Bureau at
washington were exhausted a week age
and many applications had to be made in
writing, The tests of samples of Yer
mont sugar recently made by Commission
er Mason of Washington, showing that
seven out of eight lots tested over eighty
per cent. by the pOlariscope, leads to the
belief the greater portion of the sugar
made under the law next spring will draw
the Government bounty.

CURIOUS TwELvE-MIlE RAILROAD

In railroad circles there is considers a.
bic interest manifested in the reported
sale of the famous "Rainbov'' route TO
Otto Mears. The report serves TO draw
attention to what is undoubtedly one of
the most unique Lines of railroad in the
world, says the Leadvile Herald Demo-
erat The road is not more than twelve
miles In length, extending from Silver
ton to Ironton, but as marvellous re-
suit OF engineering skill, deserves to
rank as one of the wonders of the world.
No one was quite SO near heaven as when
travelling in one of Mears' "baby" pas
senger cars.
The trip from Silyerton to Ironton
leaves vivid impression on the mind of
the tourist. 1t skirts the edge of the un-
iathomless abysses, winds over noun
tam peaks, through regions of eternal
snow, leaps cataracts, spans gorges and
hnally bumps right into the solid wall
oil the granite mountain. How this OBJ
struction is overcome is not at first ap-
parent, but by the aid of complicated
set OF turntables, engines and cars are
turned around and sail merrily down hill
to their destination.

ALLIANCE FINANoIER1xn

Some of the peculiar financial ideas of
the Farmers Alliance are to be expert
mented with, within restricted limits,
and while the consequences to the imme-
diate p rom0ters of the schemes in ques
ton may not be exactly what they antic-
lpate, the educational effect of these prac-
tical tests of the new notions may be
worth what they cost. In Nebraska, a
modification of the sub-treasury plan is
TO be attmpted. Under a law passed by
the last Legislature, the state is to provide
warehouses, in which farmers may store
their grain until such time as they are
ready to sell it. They hope to be able,
by this means, to market their crop when
the highest rates are ruling. What they
contemplate is kind of ''cornel" in
their wheat, conducted by the farmers
themselves instead of byspeculators, and
with the aid of the State, so far as facili-
ties OF storage are concerned. 1t is con-
Jectured, however, that the wheat thus
massed at central points will be more
susceptible to the manipulations OF spec
ulation than II it were in the hands OF
the growers.
The other scheme which is under con-
sideration in Kansas, proposes to supple
ment the modified sub-treasury sceeme
with kind of bank, both under private
auspices, however. Warehouses are to
be built or rented, in which the farmers
crops may be stored. A bank is TO be es-
tablished, whose special function is to be
to issue checks against the deposit OF
grain, to the amount of 80 per cent. of
their market value. These checks he is
to use in lieu Of money, so far as he can
find people ready TO take them. There
is the rub. The checks cannot be made
legal tender. They can be used TO only
a very limited extent and this very linn
itation upon their availability will make
it impossible TO sustain them at level
with actual money. They will fluctuate
in value according as the public conf
dence in t system is strong or weak.
Even assuming that such a system
were honestly managed, which might not
be the case, there might easily be such a
rush 10 turn the checks of the bank as
would involve the whole scheme in a
general wreck. Mere token money,
which has only uncertain credit behind
it, is dangerous stuff TO handle, and its
character is not generally improved by
the proposed deposits of wheat, because
the farmers could not be certain that in
any emergency they would receive back
either their wheat or It's value in avail
able money,

AN Ex.DuDE IN NOT ~. WArER.

News comes that f. Ely-Goddard is in
trouble. Mr.. Goddard, or Mr.. Ely-God-
dard, will be remembered as the grand
son of the man who owned the Vershire
copper mine. When things were at flood
tide over there the young man came
home from England, where he had been
learning things, his grandfather got the
name of the town changed to ELY" and
young Ely-Goddard was sent two or
three times to the Legislature, where he
astonished the regular statesmen with
his multitude of hats and things and his
horse-flesh. He was undoubtedly the
highest developed dude that ever recog-
nized Vermont as his home, and in fact
would have ranked we'll anywhere.
But the copper mine went to smash
and unpaid miners started the "Ely war;
in which Gov. Barstow and brave sol
diery so distinguished themselves, dis
gusted citizens got the old name of their
town restored and Ely-Goddard dropped
out of sight. He went to Providence,
X. L., then 10 New York and lost his
money in Wall street, and finally mar
ried a rich widow and himself became as
poor as church mouse. He was presi-
dent of the Fifth avenue stage line, and
in fact projected that survival OF the
old bus routes, and is yet member of
half dozen expensive and more or less
dudish clubs and a well-known man
about town. His financial affairs have
several times taken him into court in
ways more business-like than pleasant,
and now he must 60 again.
The difficulty is over an account in the
Merchants bank of Newport, X. l..
Money was deposited there two years
ago in Mrs. Goddard's name. but both
husband and wife checked it out, finally
there is an Overdraft of 5000 and the
bank has sued Mrs. Goddard. The Pc
culiarity of the thing comes from the
fact that the bank officers set forth in
the papers of the suit that the checks
were made by Mr.. Goddard and that
they were paid upon representations of
his which they now believe to have been
peculiar. And it is reported that Mrs.
Goddard declares that her husband had
no right to create any debt of the kind,
and Tepudiates the transaction.
A good many Nap0leOns, of one sort
and another, como to grief in this world.
