He Wa. the Victim of PersecutIon.

New YORK, June 15.-Allred Ken
nard, retired officer in the British ar
my and formerly q member OF parlia-
ment iom Lymington, arrived at the
Victoria hotel yesterday. He is per-
sonally acquainted with both the vii.
sons and Sir William Gordon Cumming.
Speaking OF the now famous baccarat
suit, he said:
"The verdict was not at all a sur
prise. In my mind it was great
breach OF hospitality for the Wilson's to
have made known TO the Prince oil
Wales their suspicion that Sir Gordon
was cheating. 1t was also a foolish
thing for them to get him to sign that
paper. Again, l think the Wilson's
lowered themselves completely when
thew set traps for the supposed
cheater while he was guest at their
house. Sir Gordon will be compelled
to give up his commission in the army,
and the verdict means his social ruin.
He will be in duty bound to resign from
all his clubs. This alone Will be great
blow. for he has been a great club man.
There will be many clubs that will want
TO retain him on their rolls, but 1t will
be impossible for him to allow 1t. The
Wilson's are not as high in society as
some people think. That they have
had the prince OF Wales as their guest
does not by any means make them
members OF the best society. They are
very wealthy and that's all. Mrs VIII,
son is now sighted and snubbed
by many people who were
her friends. The prince OF
Wales might easily have stopped
the entire scandal had he wished. But
he went out OF his way several times to
make remarks concerning Sir Gordon.
The people OF London look on the mat
ter as persecution, pure and simple.
Although the Wilson's are seemingly
vindicated from all stain by the YER
dict the end is not yet. They will SUI
fer long for their short sightedness in
this affair. They will be cut py many
of those whom they have formerly
counted on as their friends. But they
have succeed in running forever the
social life OF an honored soldier ana
thoroughly good fellow"

Some rranby croft secrets to be Revealed.

NEW YORK, June l5.-Sir William
Gordon Cumming has decided, says q
letter from an acquaintance OF the baro-
net in London to a gentleman in New
York, to relate at length his own YER
sion of the Tranby Croft baccarat scan

what he has termed the ''rascality" Of
Lycett Green: the manner in which the
prince of Wales keeps secrets; his can
did opinion OF the hostess OF Tranoy
Croft: the true and only reason why ne
was called upon to sign that document;
how the prince OF Wales plays the role
of banker; why he carries his own oac-
carat apparatus about with him; the
nonsense that occurred among the play
ers on both nights of the play; and last,
but not least, Lady Brooks reason ior

1t is the first of the above-quoted par
agraphs which especially demands the
attention of Vermonters. The uniyer-
sal complaint here today--and it is based
on facts that there is little money in
circulation. We consume much and we
produce comparatively little. Take the
article of grain. 1t is manifest absurd
ity that this, the best agricultural coun-
ty in the State, should he paying out at
a low estimate $4,000 a month for food
for its stock. True, this is an eXcep-
tional year, but the same thing has been
going on for several years, when there
was not the excuse of local short
crop. And so it goes all over the State
raised or made here are imported from
other States. They get our money,
while we get but small amount of
theirs.
The State can do either of two things
attract to itself manufactures and so
furnish employment for labor and a
home market for the products of its
farms, or it can resolve to be purely ag-
ricultural community, furnishing food
to other States and depending on Its
sales of these for the means wherewith
to purchase what we need of manufact-
ured articles. Hitherto we have follow
ed neither of these courses. Water
powers have been suffered to go to waste
because it has been assumed that they
sequence, with the exception of few
points where deposits of marble or gran
ite are found, and limited number of
places like Bennington and Winooski.
where enterprisng men have gone to
work, the State is without manufacture
ing. Nine-tenths of the clothes worn.
the house furnishings, the agricultural
machinery and so on used by Vermont
ers comes from outside. Nor is this
all y great deal of the food of the
people is imported. Probably three
quarters of the flour eaten by the people
in Addison county during the past ten
years has come from the West, canned
goods of all sorts find ready sale in every
village and to thousands of farmers: we
eat western beef, even, to some extent.
If one stops to look the situation over
for "A moment he will be amazed that we
are not more hardly pressed for money
than we are. We have developed neither
manufacturing nor farming, but have
depended on the outside world to furnish
us with what we required in both these
lines.
\ better state of affairs will not exist
in Vermont till the people thoroughly
understand where they are and whittier
they are tending. Towns which can
ret manufactures must secure them. if
they would be anything more than trad
ing centers for the surrounding farming
population: and the farmers must pro-
duce greater portion of what they
consume and more stuff that they can
exchange for cash.

of the board of trade in the lower room of

number of new members were enrolled,
and it looks as if something would be ac-

men of the standing committees, con-
stitute the board of management.
Then came a discussion of the situa-
ton, what concerns If any could be in

how to advertise the town, etc, etc.
Among the speakers were Chairman

The party of engineers who are to make

many of our readers know. The survey
will occupy at least two years. The
length of the line will be 5000 miles
from Tehauntepec to Jujui, near the
southern end of Bolivia. At Jujui the
proposed railway will connect with the
Argentine system, "A narrow gauge road
