Commissioner Wadlin discusses the
causes of the abandonment of farming
land, not only IN New England, but in
other parts of the country rs well, in a
philosophical temper, though briefly and
without enlarging on some of the more
important of them. His general cOnclu-
sion is doubtless just--that such changes
in the industrial states are a consequence
of modern civilization and inseparable
from it. Everything which has aided
the growth of cities, Mr.. Wadlin points
out. 'has at the same time tended to
reduce the population of the remote
towns" Even in agricultural pursuits
there is constant tendency to remove
from the distant hillsides to the vicinity
of the cities and large villages The ag-
riculture of Massachusetts,, for example,
is developing in the direction of market
gardening, and particularly the dairy.
Economic reasons thus favor the growth
of suburban agricultural population
through accessions from that which is
strictly rural. The railroad also is al
most a controlling factor in modern life,
drawing inhabitants steadily, though al
most perhaps insensibly, from the older
settlements among the mountains to the
newer centers of activity in the valleys.
Labor-saving machinery, again, has
come TO be considered indispensable in
agricultural as well as mechanical pur-
suits, and many farms once cultivated are
ill-suited TO its successful employment.

That there are more ways than one of
getting a thing was strikingly illustrated
the other day at the Central depot, when
one of the most astounding of all as
founding requests for passes went on
record: 1t was made by the wife of a
well known actor and man about town,
the nephew of one of GOtham's most
prominent literary women. The actors
wife came in with Rdire smile and
asked for Mr.. Depew. Upon being in
formed that the urbane president of the
New York Central would not be able to
see her personally, she remarked that
her business was very urgent, very i'm
portant, and could only be arranged by
Mr.. Depew. After some delay the aifa-
BILE secretary of the president made his
appearance and told her he was author
lied by Mr.. Depew to attend to her
wants, assuring her he would do all for
her that Mr.. Depew would do.
"Very we'll" she said. "My name is
Mrs. Blank. My husband is an actor.

certain company, which is now stranded

About as many funny stories come
from Vermont as from any other place
on earth. For instance, here is one from
Burlington: THE Vermont prohibition
law has good many queer attachments,
one of which is that the man arrested
for drunkenness can be kept in jail until
he tells where he got his drinks. This
is sometimes pretty hard for the unfor-
tunate drunkard to do. He may have for
gotten, or he may be unable to satisfy
the justice that he is telling the truth.
But if he tells, the person who sold the
liquor to HIM is brought into court and
fined. Henry Lord, a South Burlington
farmer, was found in the city, the other
day, hopelessly drunk. When he had
sobered up enough to be tried, he was
fined for drunkenness, and was then
asked the usual question as to where he
got his liquor. He said he had barrel
of cider mixed with alcohol in his cellar,
and proposed to drink it until it was
gone. The justice let him go.-N. Y.

VERMONT CENTENNIAL-Is77 AND
1891

1t seems to be forgotten by many of
our people that Vermont held a centen-
nial in August, 1877, at Bennington,
which was largely attended and the ex-
ercises were very enthusiastic and inter
esting A friend of ours a few davs
since handed us a copy of the Troy Press
under date of August 10, 1877, in which
were published orations of Hon. E. p.
Walton of Montpelier and Hon. Daniel
Roberts of Burlington and poem by
Mrs. DOrr, delivered at that centennial,
all carefully prepared and able produc-
tiOns.
To those not acquainted with the his
tory of Vermont it may seem inop' or
tune that two centennials in Vermont
should be holden so near each Other-One
in 1871, the other in 1891, fourteen years
apart. But the student of history will
see the appropriateness of the two in the
years named and would enter heartily
into the celebration of each. Vermont
formed an independent government in
l777 and elected Thomas Chittenden
Governor, and in 1901 was admitted to
the Union and became one of the United
States of America
The exercises at the coming centennial
at Burlington August 10, 1891, will bring
up substantially the same topics for con-
sideration as the centennial of 1917. The
history of Vermont will be reviewed and
especially its early history. The history
of no State III the Union furnishes so
much of interest, or so much of valuable
instruction as does that of Vermont.
We have often, when reading the early
history with its ultimate success in form
ing an independent government in 1777
and its admission into the Union as one
of the United States in 1901, ,involuntarily
raised the inquiry whether that early
history was entirely genuine-whether it
did not contain more or less of the fabu-
lous. The settlement of Vermont began
in earnest about 1865, though few scat
tering settlements were made prior to
that time. As early as 1868 the New
York colony claimed what was then
known as the New Hampshire Grants.
east to the Connecticut River. The
Green Mountain boys cared little for
that, but when the Workers claimed the
land the settlers had bought and paid for
of Benning Wentworth, an accredited
agent of the Crown of England, then
there was trOuble-the Workers were re-
sisted. During the years between 176S
and l175 there was constantly a Conten-
ton between the York land pirates and
the Green Mountain boys. The York
sheriff with his armed posse was fire.
quently on the Grants to eject some land
holder who had bought and paid for his
land granted by Benning Wentworth, but
were successfully resisted. During this
time also New Hampshire and Massachu-
setts were in contention with the settlers
of the Grants, but the Green Mountain
boys successfully resisted them all as
well as the internal foes, and reached the
su cess which before appears.
Mr.. Roberts, in his Grafton at Benning-
ton in 1877, clearly and conclusively
gives his reasons for this triumph of the
Green Mountain boys. 1t was moral
victory; one of the most striking and
glorious ever obtained on this continent.

rFs"Ex-M Minister Phelps timely and
important paper on the Behring See Con-
troyersy. in HdTper's Magazine in April"
The statement by EX-Minister Phelps,
which will appear in the April number
of HdrDef'S Magazine Ito be published
March 2l) of the controversy between the
United States and Great Britain is clear,
full and conclusive. After showing the
extent of the destruction of seal life in
the open sea surrounding the Pribyloff
Islands through the Canadian intrusion,
so great that during the past four years
fOur-fifths of the revenue from an I'M
portant American industry has disap-
peared, Mr.. Phelps exposes the wantOn
aud wastefnl character of this destruc-
ton, as contrary to the ordinary dictates
of humanity as it is to the requirements
of self-interest. He shows that the con-
vention proposed during President Cleve-
lands administration for the protection
of seals during their breeding period was
thwarted by the objections of Canada,
whose citizens were obtaining a certain
profit from their depredations, wasteful
as these were. The question now pre-
sented is, says Mr.. Phelps, whether the
United States government has a right TO
protect its property and he business of
its people from this wanton and bar
barous destruction by foreigners, which
it made caiminal by act of Congress; or
whether the fact that it takes place upon
waters that are claimed to be part of
the open sea affords an immunity to the
parties engaged in it which the govern
ment is bound to respect"
"Our controversy says Mr.. Phelps,
sis really with Canada, though in our
complaint we must address Great Brit
ain, who thus stands between us and
Canada, not as an empire, but bound to
support the claims of her colony so far
as she cam Hence the policy of evasion
pursued by her majesty's ministers. Mr..
Phelps does not favor arbitration, which
in the present case sis more attrac-
tive in theory than valuable in practice"
Mr.. Phelps generous support of Mr.
Blaine, and his plea for the instant pro-
lection of seal and of the seal industry
by putting an end 10 the depredations of
individual foreigners, will commend his
paper to the good sense and patriotism Of
every American.
