THE ELECTIONS.

Elections occurred Tuesday in
eleven states, but at the time of 60
ing to press, Wednesday, the returns
are very indefinite regarding a ma
iority of them In New York, Flower,
Democratic candidate is elected by
$4,000 majority. 1t was a gallant
fight on the part of the Republicans.
but the solid vote of Tammany Hall
was too much for them.
In Massachusetts, Russell, the pres
Democratic governor is very popular
and Aliens efforts failed to overcome
him simply for that reason. The
Journal and Advertiser, both Repub
lican, concede Russell's election, but
place his plurality at not more than
5000 at the. outside.
The vote in Ohio, in which state
alone protection and free trade was
the issue, Mckinley is victorious
| Chairman Neal of the Democratic
State committee comedies Mckinley s
election by from $4,000 to 10000
plurality.
While the victory is not as com
plete in Massachusetts and New York
as we should like, still the returns
from Ohio are sufficient to cause re
ioicing in the Republican camp. Fret
Trade and Protection were the issue
there and helatter is emphatically en-
dorsed by the people. Republicans
have reason to feel confident that il
the national contest next year, which
will undoubtedly be on the protection
issue. victory will be theirs.

Death of Mrs. j. A. Shedd,

Mrs. Sarah Foster Shedd, wife of
James A. Shedd of Burlington died
Wednesday afternoon after a inger-
ing illness of cancer for about four
years.
Sarah Sloan Hubbell was born in
Wolcott, May 30, 1910. She was ed
ucated at the Morrisville High School
and afterwards taught school. She
married Gen. George p. Foster in
1864, while he was at home on fur
Tough occasioned by his being wound
ed, and accompanied him to Boston
on his return to the war; After re-
turning from the rebellion they settled
in WOlcott for short time till Gen.
Foster was appointed to the customs
services at Newport. They resided
there few years and went to Bur-
lingtOn about twenty years ago. Mr.
Foster died in 1879. In 1885 Mrs.
Foster married James A. Shedd who,
with two children b. her first hus-
band, survive her. In 1888 her health
was poor and she went to California,
but the change did her no good, and
after a few months she returned. Mrs.
Shedd has borne her suffering very
patiently and has awaited the end
without fear. Her last serious sick
ness was only of about two weeks
duration. She endured the cancer
with great fortitude till she passed
peacefully away.
The remains were inferred in Lake
View Cemetery at Burlington beside

The American Farm a Treasure

That strange thing which rules in
the world so capriciously, and yet SC
surely. making for the past decade
speculation in town and city upper
most and farm values fiat, has now
nearly or quite reached the climax,
and the turn has come. City and
town values have reached their maxi
mum and will soon begin to decline
and farm values are surely appreciat-
ing.
The new order is here, and the best
and safest and probably the most
profitable long time investments in
America are now in farm lands. Forty
acres of rich soil, east or west, left to
any man family is a sure protection
against want. A house in a city or
town has a value only if one wants
to use it. Nothing is more pitiable
than family left dependent for in
come and bread on rent Of houses
that nobody wants. No family can
suffer if it has twenty or forty acres
of the solid earth. 1t will always
yield food and support life.
The ebb is now pretty clearly from
the town and setting back to the
farm. Farm values are going up.
In the UIited States the maxium OF
wheat production has been reached,
and hereafter fewer instead of more
mouths will be fed from American
wheat. The Indian corn area has
also reached it's boundaries. The
arabic domain is nearly taken up and
has reached the 102d meridian, and
corn will not grow beyond that. The
soil of the middle and western states
have lost their nitrates and poUasbes
and will no longer successfully and
Drofitably grow wheat. Corn lands
in the south are being divirted to
cotton Thus we have certainly
reached the maximum, and perhaps
a declension, in corn and wheat pro
ducts, as against a largely decreasing
domestic food demand. This means
higher prices both for farm products
and in farm lands.
This year with both the wheat and
the rye crops of Europe a failure, it
will take all our surplus wheat and
corn both prevent starvation there,
and this, unhappily to them. and yet
surely to the American farmer, means
higher prices for all food we have to

an anthem which gave him much
pleasure. His shipmate listened for
a while, and then said, Il say, Bill,
what's an anthem" "What?" re-
piled Bill. "do you mean to say you
don't know what a hanthem is?'
Not me- "WelI, then I'll tell yer.

me that 'andspike,' that wouldn't be

It is now Senator Proctor.

Gov. Page carries out his previous
ly expressed purpose of appointing
Hon. Redfield Proctor United States
SENATOR, Uy oendfng hfln an oIncIaI
notice of his appointment on Monday
last.
Whatever opinions may have ex-
listed in August last-at the time Gov.
Page notified Sec. Proctor thathe in
tended to appoint him-as to wheth-
er Gov Page did or did not correctly
voice the sentiments of the people in
making this appointment, all doubts
havesince been removed by the gener-
Gus and hearty reception that the an
nouncement of his proposed appoint
ment has received by the press every
where, with scarce an exception. The
announcement was received by men
of all shades of political opinion
from one end of the country to the
other with great favor, and Gov
Page was, for several days after the
announcement, fairly overwhelmed
with letters of thanks and congrat-
ulation. That Mr.. Proctor was the
first choice of Vermont and of the
whole country, there can be no posi-
BILE question and we predict that his
services in the Senate will justify the
high expectations of his many friends
and admirers.
An official proclamation appoint
ing a e. S. Senator to fill vacancy
of this kind, is a document so rare in
Vermont that we give our readers,
below, a copy thereof together with
Gov. Pages letter transmitting the
same to Senator Proctor:

pointed you a United States Senator to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of

The great Tilden will contest, which
has been in the courts for several
wears, was decided last week in favor
of the contestants. Samuel j. Tilden
left an estate of several millions. By
his will he provided very literally for
his heirs, consisting of seven nephews
and nieces, and also for the establish
ment of free public library in New
York city. Not satisfied with the
portion allowed them, the heirs con-
tested the will, securing a decision in
their favor because of "flaw in the
document. The property has grown
until eight millions are to be di-
vided between the heirs. A niece,
the daughter of the sister, gets
four millions and the remaining four
millions will be divided equally be-
tween the six children of his broth
err. While this decision leaves moth
ing for the proposed library, the niece
has announced her intention of be-
showing two millions of the amount
she gets to that purpose, and New
York city will probably have mag
nifcent library after all. The fact
that a lawyer of the ability of Mr..
Tilden could not make will that
would stand the test is indeed curl

The action of the Emperor William
in shaving off his beard is said to
have obviated an immense amount
of litigation in Germany. Expensive
portraits, photographs and busts of
the Emperor are constantly being
executed by the special order of his
admiring subjects, and there were
hundreds of these which had not been
delivered when the Emperor started
to grow his whiskers. The conse-
quence was that the artists and
sculptors found about all their work
in this line thrown back on their
hands, and in very many cases they
had begun suits against their custo-
mers to enforce their contracts. Now
that the Emperor has removed his
beard, these difficulties have all set
tied themselves, and likenesses of his
imperial majesty with his mustache
are a good delivery. Long live the
bare-faced monarch!
