The efforts of that rampant mugwump
journal, the New York Times, 10 make the
Mckinley bill a universal scape-goat, is one
Of the amusing features of its self-styled
independence. The Times is a great con
tortionist, but it excelled itself last Sunday,
when it published an article from which
this quotation is a part
When a premium was placed on home made
sugar by the Mckinley bill it was supposed by
many in northern New York that the maple sug.
ar industry would be given something of a boom
Inquiries by Times reporter, however, show
that it has had the opposite effect. The sugar
orchards IN this part Of the state are not recey-
ing the attention that they have had in former
years, and the production will be light
The Times then went on to show that the
bounty provision is so complex that it can
not be understood by the farmers, and
closed its disquisition by saying that "the
sugar is not to be found, and even the Sc
ductive promises of the Mckinley bill can
not bring it out That the Mckinley bill
is accountable for the shortage in the ma
pie sugar crop is strange indeed indeed,
It's wondrous strange but It's more strange
than true. The Times never took into &c
count the fact that the snow and the wealth
er are the all-important factors in the ma
pie sugar industry, and without the proper
conditions 1t is impossible to make maple
sugar. To the Timess prejudiced vision it
was the Mckinley bill, not the unpropitious
season that curtailed this years crop. But
the worst lapsus was when the Times at
tempted 10 show that the premium" which
was expected to give the maple sugar in
dustry boom had had the opposite effect
Our mugwump contemporary evidently did
not know that the premium" doe. not ap-
ply to this years product, for the reason
that under the law the bounty provision
does not go into effect until July next The
Times must try again, but it must be careful
not TO overreach, else it will rupture itself

TIE Latest FROM PARIS

The very funniest thing that we have
lately seen in enterprising daily journal
ism is a column article on Mrs H. Brasor
Pratt, printed in the New York Morning
Journal Of last Sunday. and alleged 10 have
been sent from Paris by the Journals
special correspondent under date Of
March IL. Mrs. Pratt is described as be
ing one of three pets Of NJ Gounod. the
other two being also Americans. From
this article one gathers that Mrs Prstts
apartments are of more than regal magniii-
cence This quotation will serve as an j.
lustraton
'On the sofa, reposing on a couch OF golden.
broidered silks are the photographs Of Gounod.

Of rare aud fragrant flowers alng the room with
heavy scent. and Obscurtng into the dim religious
chiarO-oscuro Of "A chapel the room where the
tan and beautiful prima donna Of the future
works the best part OF the day and OF the night "
We are next soberly informed that only a
few years ago Mrs, Pratt's husband, Mr.
II. Brasor Pratt, was Il fiourishing bust
ness man in Brattleboro, Vt who broke
down from overwork, and was sent by his
physician to Paris TO recover. his wife &C
companying him to take care Of him 1t
was here that the divine ambition seized
her 70 become prima donna, aud to this
end she has since devoted herself with
surprising energy and self-sacrifce a
stunning portrait Is given which bears no
resemblance whatever in any line 10 Mrs
Pratt The young artist is credited with
the intention 10 make her debut in grand
opera in Paris, and tine final success of the
writer is scored in the declaration, put into
Mrs. Pratt's own mouth, that her husband
possesses fine tenor voice. and will
come out at the same time If his modestv
will allow him u do so.
Here is richness indeed Mr. Pratt will
certainly owe his Brattleboro friends one
when next he comes this way-and may
that day be soon.
