Clrricr pigeons for military service
having proven to be dcsirable-even
necessary adjuncts to the army in con-
veying messages, experiments have bceh
made looking to the employment of dogs
for the same purpose. Formerly. these
animals were useful in attacking the
legs Of the horses of the enemy; but the
service the faithful animal is now to rem
der is in reinforcing sentinels. The
hunting dog, frs; thought available,
leaves the picket too often, but the shep.
herd dog is much more reliable. Inge-
nuity is being strained to its utmost to
bring war between civilized nations
down to aD exact science, and still the
Peace Congress hopes for the disarma-
mcnt Of nations.

A Strong Candidate.

No recent suggestion Of a candidate
has met with stronger favor than that
Of Col. VIM. j. Vannort. of Kent, for
the Republican gubernntorial nomination.
His fitness is fully recognized, and en-
phasis is laid on the fact that lie is just
the man for the present peculiar political
situation in this State. His life as cit
izen, his record Us soldier, and his pop
,ularity among the farmers, Of whom be
is one of the leaders in Maryland al
commend him for the honor and pointtO
his unanimous selection by the Ocean
City convention -
With Colonel Yannort AZ tsndsri
bearer the Republicans eahmsEe strong
and gaining fight on live issues. Dem
Ocratic security m this State is ,fancied;
II is not real, and its margin Of safety
HAS been steadily diminished by the Re-
publican party. What is needed now is
a clean campaign on business questions
Colonel Vannort will accept no other
Like every brave soldier be will fight
only in an honorable way even in poll

merits Of bis cause ogd not try to attract
votes by personality and abuse. He is
the kind of candidate the people want.
And they will cheerfully support his
candidacy. -Amer'co".

The effect of the Republican Tariff
policy as pursued by the present admin

made free, but bounty is paid Cor home
production, has been to make this years
production in the United States reach
the high figures of $40 500 900 pounds,
and the consumer has had the benefit Of
a greatly reduced price.

Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1891-04-03

EX-Congressman Butterworth is not so
sure as are some other statesmen that the
Alliance movement is all show and no
substance. He says:
They are not wise who turn up their
esthetic noses and laugh at the demon
stratlon the farmers are making. They
should remember that in close affiliation
with the agriculturists are the army Of
skilled and unskiled workmen of the
country, who are not immediate benetici-
aries of high tariff, and that while the
measures proposed by the Alliance and
those who assume to speak for it are OBJ
viously unripe and not calculated to
bring about the reforms desired, never
theless in the attitude of these powerful
forces there appears deep and abiding
protest against a condition of things
which must he radically changed or else
a social and political upheaval of unimag-
ined dimensions must follow.
There are those in this State who affect
to believe that the Alliance can gain no
foothold here. But they should not be
too sure. Those who remember the
famous Barlow campaign of 1873 up in
the old Third Congress district will have
some doubts about the wisdom of count
ing on Vermonters to resist plausible hum
bugs. Mr. Barlow wanted to go to Con-
gress that year. He found that he could
not win at the September election, but
by importing lot of Greenback orators
he managed to prevent an election, and
when the special election came, in No
vember, he had won enough of the farm
ers to Greenback ideas to carry the day.
The farmers were poor, or thought they
were, and proportonately ugly and ready
to grasp at any straw.

THE EXTRA SESSION,

1t is regarded as morally certain by
those in position to know that there will
be an extra session of the State legisla-
ture this spring. There are two reasons
for getting it together-to accept the
direct tax which Congress voted to
return to the States, and to make over to
the government site for the proposed
government building at st. Adams.
The States share of the direct tax is
about S1S0,000. The interest on this for
Is months can be saved by getting it.
The appropriation for the building at st.
Adams is 100000 and the people therea-
bouts think it is policy to corral the
money when it can be had rather than
wait and be at the mercy Of Democratic
House. But the erection of the building
cannot begin till site for it is ceded by
the legislature to the United States.
1t is limited that st. Albans is more
anxious for the extra session than the
rest of the State. Be that as it may, it is
more than likely we shall have one.
