A Boom I'm Butter.

There are strong indications of
boom in butter. At the West, owing
to the short corn crop of last year,
great many cows were sent to the
slaughter house, and the long drought
Of this fall has further reduced the sup
ply. The butter market in Chicago is
very active ond orders are behind. In
the East the pressure is not felt so
strongly, but ''they say" we shall have
to hustle tor butter this winter. Well,
as Mr.. Gladstone advises, let's make
jam, English people have learned to
eat jam in place of butter to consid-
cradle extent. Certainly, good jam,
made of cheap summer and fall fruits
and Mckinley sugar, is cheaper and
better than poor butter.-Springfeld

The report of the State Inspector of FL
nance has just been issued from the Office
of the Free Press. 1t was prepared by the
late Luther o. Greene and must have been
about the last work of his life. Three
new trust companies chartered by the last
legislature nave commenced doing busi-
ness. These are the Orleans Trust Co. at
Newport; the Proctor Trust Company at
Proctor, and the Capitol Savings Bank
and Trust Company at Montpelier. Steps
are being taken to organize savings in
stitution at Chester for which charter
was granted in 1870. There has been quite
an increase in mortgages on real estate
and the number of foreclosures has fallen
OF as compared with former years. The
amount of tax on deposits shows an in
crease Of 81, ,72O So. There are over 1900
depositors, of which $1,000 are residents
of the State, and over is million dollars
are on the books to their credit. Divi-
dends ranged from 4 to IL per cent. and
there was paid to depositors over S640,O00
an increase of over $4,000 as compared
with last year. There has been large in
crease in the amount Of deposits during
the past year. This is supposed to show
an increase in economy and thrift on the
part Of the people. Il may show that
larger number Of people prefer to let the
banks and trust companies handle their
money for them.

Home Markets for Vermont.

Home markets for our surplus farm
products,so far as is practicable, should
be the motto of Vermont farmers.
Conld we plant manufactory or open
a mine in every town, we would bring
to the farmers of each town home
market, and so eliminate the middle
men, and their profits, and all exorbi-
tant transportation tariffs. So, again,
we plead, let us foster a diversity of
industries, in Vermont, that we may
have a good home market for all we
can spare from our farms, and pros
perity must follow.-Farmers Advo-

The New York Sun is inclined to come
out on the republican side, and advocates
Blaine and Mckinley as the ticket for '92.
In regard to the Sun it always belonged
on the Republican side but got switched
off through the disappointment OF Mr..
Dana who thought Gen. Grant should
have taken him into his cabinet. Men
who ought not to allow disappointments
to change their political principles are too
apt to yield to passion or prejudice. In
regard to the ticket named nothing better
could be devised. We do not propose to
run it up to the head of our columns to-
day, but we speak right out when we say
that as yet nothing has struck us more fa-
vorably. Should the ideas OF the leaders
of the Republican party in convention as
sembled harmonize with our own In this
matter, and should the Sun let its light
shine upon the republican side OF nation
al politics. we should enter into the next

Why does not somebody say word a
bout Almy? 1t has been long time since
the eye of the public was turned upon
him. In the meantime we have man to
hang, one who has been held awaiting the
decision of the Supreme Court upon some
merely technical question. This is case
where the hanging follows pretty close
upon the settlement of the point whether
he ought to hang at all or not. This is a
little off from the usual practice il not a
gainst law. We did not suppose man
could be hung in this state until session
of the legislature had interviewed between
final sentence and execution, if the execu-
tion be not stayed. Perhaps the sentence
passed by the Court was regarded as
final, the same as though no lawyer had
attempted to set it aside on account of
supposed error in form of words.

first sought in European interference but

discovered that the imperialists were at

the empire, and the object of Da Fonseca
was to checkmate their movements. 1t
appears that he acted with the approval
of the army and navy, and that the mach
nations of the enemy were carried on in

A great many reports have been circu-
lated to the effect that during the recent
election in Ireland great deal of the old
time violence was practiced. There have
been numerous scrimmages leaving as a
result many broken heads. This must
make things seem home-like to the Irish
and flavor the enjoyment of an cleo
tion, but they raise a question as to fit
ness OF the Irish for home rule. There is
clearly good deal of wildness about the
people yet. In the recent elections about
Dublin the Parnellites were pretty thor
oughly defeated. We do not think the
Irish people will try to make hero of
their dead leader. If the people are wise
they will abandon their barbarous ways
and fit themselves to rule themselves.
