THE New VERSION OF THE FABLE OF
THE ASS IN THE LIONS SKIN.
From the Brattleboro Reforme

From the BrattleOoro Retormer.
Col Fuller's poetry is looming up into
the proportions of campaign issue in
Vermont. One paper, the Jericho Press,
pronounced against him last week on
this ground distinctly. Another, we
Judge, is preparing to do so, having
written to the Reformcr to inquire if it
was possible that he was the author of
the verse entitled "The Battle of Keves'
Farm, that appeared in our columns
just after the militia muster and sham
fight here in 1891, and concluding with
the lines about a boy who
clad been sma shed all in a jelly,
Had fallen upon Il stone
And punched his little belly"
We think the argument can be sue
cessfully made that the colonel was nei-
ther born nor made poet. Perhaps as the
campaign warns up next summer his
Republican haters can sing these lines
with good effect in the professions. How
ever. a fair statement about the whole
matter is one which the Reformer made
years ago when Col. Fuller was nomi.

character that has two distinctly marked
sides to 1t. One is very silly side, and
the other is side of great ability and
genuine power. The trouble with him

silly side out; and it has resulted thai

ADDISON COUNTY REASONS.

Addison county seems, for some
reason, or without reason, to be lese
friendly to Mr.. Fuller than most of the
other counties, and if Mr.. Fletcher were
to take the field as a candidate, he would
be pretty sure of the support of Addison
county. The Republicans of Addison will
however, cordially acqulesce in the choice
of the majority, as expressed in the con-
vention.-[ Burlington Free Press.
The esteemed Free Press devotes two
days of this week and three columns OF
/ its space to review of the governorship
campaign, giving, or pretending to give,
statement of the situation in each of the
counties of the State. The above is what
| it has to say of Addison county. The
paragraph is incorrect and inadequate in
that it conveys the notion that Mr..
Fuller is opposed hereabouts for an un-
known reason. or for no reason at all.
1t is truthful in so far as it relates to
Mr.. Fletcher.
The objections of the county to Mr..
Fuller have been set forth in these col
umns in language which had been sup
posed sufficiently clear; but, lest the
Free Press repeat its error, it may be
well to say again why the candidacy of
the BrattlebOro chieftain awakens no en-
thusiasm in this section of the State.
The objections to him are two-fold. In
he first place, he is not man of marked
hbility. Moreover, he has positive weak
pesses which render him an unsafe man

Pf itself to condemn him. But it is not

Esteemed contemporaries are crying
for exhibitions of road-making machinery
at the fairs, in order that farmers may
become familiar with it. But, as a mat
ter of fact, such machinery has been
shown regularly at these gatherings
every fall for the last dozen or fifteen
years, till farmers are as well acquainted
of milking stools. What the farmers
need is sound knowledge of the princi-
pies underlying the construction of
good roads and the inspiration to put
those principles in practice.

1t may be William u. johnson of Wood
stock. after all-and the Republicans
might go further and fare worse. Mr..
johnson is man of education and cul-
ture and of marked ability, and gentle
man in every sense of the word. When
compared with the Spears and all that
cheap crowd he shines like lIesperus
among the shades. OF the home feeling
in his behalf the Woodstock Standard
says: "No canvassing nor missionary
work of any sort has been done in Mr..
JohnsOn's behalf, yet it it is quite certain
that Woodstock and some neighboring
towns are anxious to send johnson dele
gates to the State convention. 1t is a
variety of boom which grows without
nursing. ."-[St. Johnsbury Republican.
While the interest in the governor
question is quite lively in other parts of
the State it appears to concern the peo-
pie of Lamoille county but little thus far;
in fact, in several of the towns the qucs-
ton has hardly been thought of. As far
as can be ascertained at this time the
county does not appear to be unanimous
for any candidate. In some of the towns
Col. Fuller has active men at work for
him, and as a result, in those towns Full
Ter stock is in the lead, while in other
towns the sentiment against him Is strong,
the demand being for II farmer candidate.
In those towns the choice is about evenly
divided between Spear and Fletcher. En-
Judge Barrett's name is also favorably
mentioned. This is the situation in La
moille county to-day. yet as the cam
paign advances and the interest increas-

There will be game on the college cam

The college boys were victors over the
Crown Points at Crown Point on Satur-

a closely-contested game was fought out
on the campus here by the Episcopal in

The least permanent features of this
great movement of the farmers of our
country are those which are the most ap-
parent. The real essence of the thing
is not seen on the surface. Such tenn
porarv features are the disturbance of
party politics, the advancing by the So
called leaders of the movement of i'm
possible and ludicrous schemes and the
like. All this is but Temporary. The
real and abiding cause of so general n
movement is TO be found in the modern
tendency TO consolidation. which is to be
seen most clearly in the 20 or more great
trusts in the United States. The OBJ
icct of these trusts is TO raise prices.
which can he done. permanentlv. only
bv curtailng production. The laborers
who are thus deprived of emplovment
find their way into farming and cause
there a certain amount of local over
production, much to the detrimeat of
| the agricultural classes. For the farm
ers to combat this. by forming trusts
themselves. is impossible: for il is es-
sential TO the formation of n trust that
the number of partners be small and the
product be one and of such nature that
! it can be limited in amount. These con-
ditions cannot be attained i'm agricult-
ure. where the number of the pioducts
is only exceeded by the number of Dro-
ducers. The farmers were thus driven
TO seek aid of the government. They
directed their efforts against three things.
the railroads. the middlemen and the
banks. The reason for their opposition
TO the last is less apparent than in the
case of the two former and is in fact
grounded on mistaken notions of the
currency and of finance. The error is
that the farmers fail to distinguish be.
tween money and wealth. The move
ment stated in Texas in 1880. but first
assumed importance in 1887 through the
union of the Texas "Alliance' with the
