ThHongh all the sunny summer months,
Led blindly on by loves young dream,
The youth allowed his funds to melt
In frequent saucers of ice cream.
AS fall approached he fondly hoped
His strained finances to recoup,
But oyster stews kept up the drain,
And thus his hopes went In the soup.

"Good Suggestions"

1t seems that Free Press reporter
has been interviewing Major Valentine
who has not yet escaped all the bur-
dens of his recent position. Letters Of
inquiry continue to come to him from
the West, where, as he expresses it
whole colonies desire to enigrate to
Vermont. The Major suggests that
towns and communities take up the
work which the State refused to do.
They can set forth the ADVANTAGES of
their respective localities at trihing
expense, and thus we may have a great
number of small, voluntary bureaus, in
stead Of cne large official one. We
hope this suggestion will be largely act
ed upon.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
One School Question Settled.
Opinion of the Judges.

BY request of Gov. Page the Judges
Of the Supreme Court met at the Van
Ness House, Burlington, on Monday
evening, the 9TH inst. to give express
ion to their views as to what constitut-
ed the school year under the school
law of 1880. The Judges were unan-
imous in the opinion that the school
year for the purpose of dividing the pub
lie r~ssey to the school districts by the
selectmen for the present school year,
begins on the twentieth of March, 1890,
and ends on the nineteenth of March
1891. Inasmuch as the money is dis
tribued upon the basis Of the returns
made in the school registers, these reg
listers must be in the hands of the select
men previous to the 27th of March, the
day on which the next distribution will
be made, notwithstanding the law pro-
vides that the registers shall be return
ed on or before The 3rd Of April. The
officers Of school districts can govern
accordingly.

Vermont Marble.

According to bulletin from the Gen.
sus Office most of the marble used in
this country is supplied Ly Vermont.
1t is an interesting fact that out of the
twelve states that produce this article
Vermont furnishes more than all the
rest put together The total value of
the annual supply of marble seems to
be SO, ,4SS, 900. OF this amount Ver-
mont produces for her share the value
Of 50, 1863, $50. The amount of capital
,iaxested in the marble business in this
state is s9,346, 1888, Georgia ranking
next, with an investment of S2,373.-
CPS. Vermont is great country af-
ter all.

The Immigration scherne.

The Watchman seems TO think that
the action of the legislature in repeal
ing the act of 1888 creating bureau
of immigration, etc, was very short
sighted. We have never thought that
the repeating of that act was so short
sighted as the failure to provide sub
stitute. We have always thought that
Com. Valentine did good work, that
the planting of Swedish colonies was
an excellent thing and would in time
prove highly beneficial to the State. 1t
was not what the Com. did that. .wor-
ried us SO much as what he did not do.
He seems 10 have fastened upon one
idea and to have fingered around that
idea as though it were the only one
worth developing. We presume that
Mr.. Valentine did not have the slight
est objection to respectable families of
any nationality, even Yankees, settling
in Vermont, still, we cannot help think
ing that Swedes were his favorites and
that some who would have turned an
eye and perhaps their feet towards YER
mont, thought that in orderto be heart
lily welcome, they must become at least,
Swedish proselytes Of the gate. Our
own views as to the way to secure set
tiers for our unoccupied farms have al
ready been presented in these columns.
These harmonic substantially with
what may be called the New Hamp-
shire plan. We think the legislature
short-sighted in that it did not provide'
means to carry out some such scheme.
The Watchman seems to think that the
democrats opposed the bureau for po-
litical reasons. We have not the least
doubt Of it. There are plenty OF dem
ocrats who would rather see Vermont
a bowling wilderness than filed up with
honest republicans. In regard to the
bureau of immigration. they seemed to
gain assistance towards its defeat from
those republicans who had become inn
bued with narrow ideas Of economy.
But the thing stands where it does, and
we can only indulge in the Watchman's
hope ''that liberal-minded and public
spirited citizens enough can-be found |
who will take this matter up and in
heir private capacity institute some
for keeping alive the work and |
the fruits of the bureau till
he state can again consider the mat
er."

Conundrun.

Farms in Vermont are worth on
ly about fifty cents on dollar as COM
pared with eight or ten years ago. In
fact, it is not easy TO sell farm at any
reasonable price. Why is this? The
usual answer is, that farming does not
nav. and we are left to infer that there
has been a gradua. decline in farm pro-
fits 1t may be so, but it is hard work
for some of US who buy all we eat to
believe that this is true. How do pres
ent prices compare with prices of eight
or ten years ago. Mich cows are We
nv much cheaper now than then. A
man can stock up dairy for much less
money now than at that time. Butter
is not much if any cheaper now than
at that time. Potatoes aud oats are
worth more to day than they have been
for a long time. Poultry and eggs
bring high prices. Oats are unusually
high. Hay is in good demand and COM
mands good prices. If farming was
profitable then why is it not profitable
nowY Is the decline in farm values on
account of5iminished proftsg We do
not see how it can be. What is the
cause then? Win some one explain.

Vermont Merino sheep.

Interest in the improved American
Merino seems to have revived. Messrs,
o. and E. S. Hall of East Randolph,
VT, have recently sold rams at some
thing near the prices of 20 years ago.
They have sold ram for $3.50 to 60
to Ohio; another for 500 to go to
Michigan. Mr.. Thomas Sanders OF
Haverhill, Mass, bought small
flock of so ewes and two rams for 500
a head for ewes and $3.50 for rams,
one-half of which he sent to Prof. A.
G.. Bell at Baddick, Cape Breton, as a
nucleus for flock to run oa his SOC
acre farm. Mr.. Sanders had the mis-
fortune to lose his flock ~ dogs re-
Gently. but having retained his inter-
est IN this breed for thirty years he
Immediately went to Vermont aud pur-
chased another flock of Messrs. o. &

this breed.

Wherefore the whyness?

Mr.. EDIToR:-Our last legislature was
elected to economize and retrench. That
was well, but a few of the members were
so anxious to exhibit their "skinfiint econ
omy'' and cheap generosity that in trying
to save the state $500 they argued in oppo-
sition to free distribution OF their pre-
vious acts, until they had exhausted $3.50
OF time. Surely that was economy. Again
to save paying the supervisors few weeks
salary and let them die natural death in
June, they wilfully and brutally murdered
them, gave the body kick, and came off
home, boasting OF what they had done.
Now it is going to cost the State more to
bury the dead than it would have cost to
support them alive. Surely that too is
economy. X \. Il.

RecInlming the Deserted Farms.

Southern free traders were delighted
when the reports went out about aban-
doned farms in Vermont and New
Hampshire. Now that these farms are
being re-peopled at a rapid rate their
laugh is on the other side. New Eng
land is not going to ruin so fast as they
fondly imagined. When the public was
informed of the state of affairs regard
ing these farms they came into demand.
Nc~%sexnRlt proposes to take
up the work and see if she cannot bring
settlers to her farms. Members of the
legislature in that State have been writ
ing to the New Hampshire Commits
sioner with the view of drawing up an
act for its consideration. Massachu-
setts is growing at a fair rate, but like
the other New England states she wish
es TO have all her land occupied. Let
her try the experiment.
