NOT EXA CITY HARMONIOUS

A curious spectacle is presented by
the Montpelier Waterman, and the
members of the fraternity elsewhere
in the state must be pardoned if they
smile just little over it.
At the eleventh hour of the sena-
torial day Editor Ropes declared for
Proctor and duly set forth that gen
tleman's qualifications for the posi-
ton. Whereupon T. ]. Deavitt, a
member of the corporation which con-
trolls the Waterman, came out with
a long circular letter, in which he
announces that the publication of
the Proctor editorial was without
the approval or knowledge of the
officers of the corpora ton, and was
the sole act Of the editor and con-
trary to an understanding between
him and myself" Mr. Dea witt then
proceeds to pay his respects to Sen
ator Proctor, and endeavors to array
the old soldiers against him.
Editor Ropes asserts, in his last
issue, that most of the members of
the corporation were in favor of
Proctor, and that the same can be
said of majority of the republicans
of Washington county; that there is
no discord between members of the
corporation and himself
The whole affair is a remarkable
one in connection with so prominent
a newspaper as the Waterman, and
is to be regretted from the stand
point of effective journalism.

SUMNER BOARDERS.

There have been more of them in
Vermont this season-so it is estimat-
ed-than ever before, and this is
doubtless largely due to the efforts
made by the railroad people early in
the year to interest outsiders in the
attractions of our state and to
wake up the farmers to realization
of the fact that it needed but little
urging to induce thousands of city
people to come into Vermont for
their summer recreation. The sue
cess achieved this season will lead to
greater and more satisfactory re-
suits next year; for the facilities here
for healthful pleasure are abundant
and lasting, and will commend
themselves Ion sight to all who
test them. Let the movement in
augurated this season be continued,
and Vermont is bound to show her
self worthy Of public attention as
summer resort

A YEAR OF PLENTY.

This is a lonesome year for the
croaker. The harvests are so bounti-
full, business prospects generally SO
promising, that the breeders of dis
content will have to look abroad for
fields in which their efforts shall meet
with the slightest appreciation.
Even the peach crop, which scarcely
ever fails to lift up it's voice $50 to
speak, in lamentation early in the
season, is this year SO busy getting
itself to market that it has had no
time to complain.
The Northwest = that region
from which tidings of cereal trouble
not unfrequently come-has this year
been abundantly blessed, and nature
fairly teens with good things for
the farmers Of that locality. From
nearly all other portions of the coun-
try come reports of large crops gath
cred in good condition.
Fruit of all kinds is also plenty,
of excellent quality, and reasonable
in price. Then, as if to prove the
eternal fitness Of things" and bring
down upon the devoted heads of our
national law makers the blessings of
millions of housekeepers. sugar is
very cheap. and innumerable quarts
of ripe, luscious fruit are being
laid by in store.
There will be general rejoicing all
over the country at this prosperous
condition of things, and the lessons
Of contentment taught by it should
be thoroughly learned.

OUR STATE MILITIA.

Capt. Hoyt of the regular army,
who recently made a tour of inspec-
ton among the companies of the
Vermont National Guard, and who
was with the regiment at Benning-
ton, has made report to the war
department, in which he INDUCES in
some candid criticism of the state
militia. The captain is amply quail
fed for the task imposed upon him,
and his opinions should be carefully
considered by every member of the
regiment, as well as by all others in
terested in the maintenance of a well
drilled, well disciplined militia in this
state
Capt. Hoyt finds that several COM
panies were fairly drilled and showed
some enthusiasm, but others were
sadly deficient. Among the causes
of this deficiency he mentions a lack
of opportunities for proper drill, and

PEOPLE OF NOTE.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich is in Lon
don.
George B. Loring Of Salem, Mass,
ex-minister to Portugal and formerly
commissioner of agriculture, died
very suddenly on Monday.
"Old Hutch,' the eccentric wheat
speculator, has brought his bed from
Chicago to New York. 1t is a COM
mon sofa covered with carpet.
General Wheelock 6. Veazey has
been appointed one of a committee
for the erection of memorial to Gen.
Grant in the capitol at Washington.
A fine oil painting of Edward c.
Carrigan, who graduated from
Dartmouth college in 1877, and who
died in 1888, has been placed in the
gallery of paintings at Dartmouth
college. Mr.. Carrigan is best known
in St. Johnsbury from his connec-
ton with the Phair murder case
about / 5 years ago.

poor armories-none of the latter
being what they ought to be. Among
the officers of the regiment Capt.
Hoyt discovered good capacity"
for work, but lack of experience;
while many of the rank and file were
not "well set up" and some few of
them appeared to be physically dis
qualified. The light battery drill is
spoken of as excellent The captain
complains that the guard is too
small, and says that while Vermont
during the war was represented by
one tenth Of her population, but one
in 200 is now receiving military in
structions.
That there are several companies
in the National Guard of which the
state has reason to be proud is not
to be questioned, and that there is
abundant room for Improvement in
many respects in the regiment as a
whole is as far beyond dispute.
What is desired is a thoroughly
equipped, perfectly disciplined body
of troops, and the effort in this direc-
ton should not cease till that end is
gained. If a weeding-out process is
necessary, let it be begun at once;
and when it comes to the matter of
better armories, the state should see
that these are provided. A strength
ening of the military feature, with a
little less attention to the social
element in the several companies
would, we believe, tend to bring
about more completely that condi-
ton of affairs which Capt. Hoyt sees
is so much needed. There is material
enough in the state, and it should be
developed.

GOVERNORS NOMINATED.

Massachusetts republicans and
New York democrats held their state
conventions yesterday and named
candidates for the governorship. In
the former state Chas. H. Allen of
Lowell was chosen, by vote of 713
to 514, and amid the greatest en-
thusiasm. Lieut.-GOv. Halle was re-
nominated. The platform is a strong
and popular one, declaring in favor
of the American system of protection,
sound currency, endorsing Harri-
sons administration and emphasiz-
ing republican principles generally.
The New York democrats nomi-
mated Roswell P. Flower on the first
ballot, with w. F. Sheehan for lieu
tenant-governor. Republican princi-
pies were denounced in due form and
a demand was made for a sound
metallic currency.

RAIN MAKING.

1t seems that the experiments re-
Gently made in Texas, at the expense
of the department of agriculture, in
the line of rain-making, have not
proved glittering success. 1t can
not, perhaps, be said that the appro-
priation for these experiments was
unwisely made, for if there were any
other and more relia BILE than the
good old-fashioned method for pro-
ducing rain, it were we'll enough to
become familiar with it in the inter
est OF certain portions of the country
which seem subject to long and
disastrous dry spells.
which were conducted with the aid
of dynamite and other explosives,
will have a tendency to confirm the
popular belief that the good old
way" cannot be improved upon,
and that when rain does not fall ac-
cording to natures own program it
cannot come at all. 1t is hard for
even the most vivid imagination to
picture storm center" as existing
in a clear sky.
Observations up here in Vermont
tend to prove that one of the most
certain methods of bringing on
rainy period is the holding of an
agricultural fair-though even this

Dynamite is likely to take second
place in the list of explosives. Over
across the big water, at Liege, they
have been experimenting with
FORTS" a new explosive, and as an
illustration Of what the newcomer
can do when it has a chance it is said
that cavity thirteen feet deep hav-
ing been drilled into solid rock and
charged with a relatively small
quantity of ''fortis," the explosion
detached mass over two hundred
feet in height, breaking it into pieces
of from fifty to sixty pounds in
weight and projecting them to a
distance of $50 yards. Forts" is
said to be thirty per cent ahead of
its rivals, with its possibilities not
yet fully developed.

post in Washington.

Boston has had fruit jar famine

Senator Proctor is not to have
Senator Edmunds' chair in the upper

given over to Senator Dixon of
Rhode Island.

closed.
Minneapolis is perfectly willing to
be a sister to St. Paul; but does not

ton for amalgamation with St.
Paul

Worlds Fair is to prove a decided
