AN INSTRUCTIVE CONTROVERSY.

No newspaper war waged in Vermont
in recent years has equalled in education
al value that Just ended between the hut-
land Herald and Burlington Free Press.
The cause of the trouble was the prohibi-
tory law, the merits of which were dis
cussed at some length. Finally the Her
aid called the Free Press liar, the Free
Press said the Herald was another, and
the latter retorted by denominating its
esteemed contemporary "an acephalous
newspaper" There the battle ended.
Neither has denied that it lied, nor has
the Free Press Indignantly or otherwise
replied to the insinuation that it is head
less. 1t seems to be established, then,
that the two leading daily newspapers of
Vermont are liars and that one of them
has no head. But why didn't the Herald
call the Free Press "hydrocephalous, "A
much more appropriate epithet than the
one it did use, considering the question
at issue? We hope to see these hostill-
ties resumed at no distant day and that
the warriors will paw their dictionaries
faithfully in preparation for the fray.

HANDLING A GUN.
From Forest and Stream. !


/. Empty or loaded, never point a gun
toward yourself or any other person.
,. When a-tield, carry your gun at the
half-cock. If in cover, let your hand
shield the hammers from whipping twigs.
3. When riding from one shooting
ground to another, or whenever you have
your gun in any conveyance, remove the
cartridges, If Il breech loader, it being so
easy to replace them. If a muzzle-loader
remove the caps, brush of the nipples,
and place wad on nipple, letting down
the hammers on wads-simply removing
caps sometimes leaves little illuminate
on the nipple, and a blow of the hammer
when down discharges it.
4. Never draw a gun toward you by
the barrels.
.. More care is necessary in the use of
a gun in boat than elsewhere ; the limit
ed space, confined action and uncertain
motion making it dangerous at the best.
If possible, no more than two persons
should occupy boat. Hammerless guns
are constant danger to persons boating.
6. Always clean your gun thoroughly
as soon as YOU return from days sport.

Much has been said during the past
year concerning the mortgage indebted
ness of Kansas. The alliance orators
have insisted that it was immense and
their opponents that it wasn't. The
census Office now says that the mort
gage Indebtedness of the State is S235-
AS. JOS. which does not include a State
and railroad land contract debt of 81
GGl.7lS. This debt is - per cent of the
estimated true value of all taxed real
estate. which is between eight and nine
hundred million dollars. The total as
sessed valuation of real and personal
property was $500, ,593,7l The aver
age amount of debt per mortgaged acre
is placed at SG.65. Superintedent Por-
ter adds that the largest debt exists in
the sections where there has been an
advancement in Improvements.

does the idea of cider not from trees sug-
gest The farmer need no longer lay
himself open to the probability of being
swindled by the nursery agent; he will
not have to hunt for borers, or burn
worms nests. or gather the fruit and
take it to the mill. He can make his own
booze. and he needn't have anv capital
either Moreover, he will not only have
cider without trouble. but his orchard
will be rendered worthless. Most as
suredly here is a virgin field for the
moral statesman to work. But, after
all. it may turn out that taxing the arti-
fetal cider wont stop its manufacture any
more than 1t did that of oleomargarine.
Before the apple-rasing farmers trust
for financial salvation to their grip on the
coat-tais of without-apples
orators they should read and ponder this
extract from the New York Press
The product of oleomargarine in this
country, as indicated by the figures of
the internal revenue bureau, is 10 per
cent greater than last year Dairymen
look with astonishment on the statistics,
while the oeomargarine manufacturers
declare that the use of that article as a
substitute for butter is growing on its
merits.

The Georgia legislature is in the same
fix as congress has been at times over the
pension question. Two years ago the
legislature resolved to pay 500 year to
each widow of confederate soldier. 1t
was estimated that there were 600 of
them and 100000 was appropriated.
Now it is found that the widows num-
fully 1000 and it was a question in the
minds of the Georgia statesmen whether
they could afford to pay the 500 each.
But they decided to do it and made an
appropriation to cover the amount.

Rev. Granville Wager began his pasto-
rate over the Congregational church on
Friday evening, preaching his first ser
mon as pastor on Sunday morning. 1t
was most profound effort, his text be-
ing the first four words in the Bible. "In
the beginning, God" The ladies of the
society prepared a most beautiful and
elaborate floral welcome to him. The
altar rail and supports were covered
with dense mass OF evergreen. At one
corner of the platform was Il wide col
umned arch of evergreen. relieved by
delicate white flowers. On the arch
proper, in letters of gold, were "Nel-
come, Pastor" On the pulpit and on
tables, stands, lamp fixtures, wherever
there was niche or IA support within the
altar, were almost every variety of au-
tumnal flowers, embracing the deepest
and richest hued, arranged in various
forms. Their generous and gorgeous
welcome was but IA lovely symbol of the
welcome in the hearts of this pe, pie.
There is harmony and enthusiasm
among this people that is refreshing, and
now that they are to be led by one who
is mentally gifted, charitably inclined
and otherwise spiritually equipped, their
growth in numbers and grace seems
assured. Mr.. Wager expressed himself
on Sunday as desirous of cooperating
with other churches, and working in
harmony with friends and neighbors.-
