Maple Sugar---Apply for the Bounty.

Editor Waterman In the recent Bulle-
tin from the State Experiment Station in
regard to the results of the maple sugar
bounty, Professor Cooke reaches the con-
clusion that The bounty is not induce
ment enough to the acreage Vermont farmer
to have him go through the red tape of get
ting it, unless he makes on the average
1000 pounds of sugar and expects $50 out of
it, / am unable to see the force OF his
reasoning and unable To understand why he
wishes TO discourage the Average Vermont
farmer" or one who makes less than 1000
pounds of sugar, from getting the bounty.
The red tape " to which he refers is no
insuperable barrier; and as the cost of all
the papers need not exceed fifty cents, |
can't see why it is not as much an object
proportionally for the farmer who makes
/, 900 pounds of sugar as for the farmer who
makes twice as much More farmers would
have made applications for the bounty last
year if it had not been for the "red tape "
scare, which was magnitied to undue pro-
portions. But as the application papers
have been much simplfied and the red
tape reduced TO a minimum, there would
seem to be no occasion for trying TO scare
the " average Vermont farmer" out;of get
ting his bounty another year, The fact is,
the Burlington institute and its officials do
not seem to know much about the average
Vermont farmer" neither do they manifest
much interest in his material prosperity.
| believe that every farmer in the state who
makes 800 pounds Of sugar should make APP
plication for the bounty, and not be fooled
out of it by the red tape" scare from Bur
lington or anywhere else.

Puerile Threats.

:" If you don't haul me up III cut the
rope!" This was the direful threat of
the victim of practical joke, who had
been lowered into deep well, and left
dangling just above the dark waters
and far below the region of light. The
threat of the peppery parson-editor of
the Ludlow Tribune to bolt if Colonel
Fuller is nominated for governor is
about as terrifying to the republicans
of Vermont as that of the man in the
we'll to the perpetrators of The practical
joke. They could stand the cutting if
the man down in the we'll could, and if
Editor Crane wishes to bolt Colonel
Fuller, he will be the only one that gets
a ducking, and will destroy his means
of political resurrection. The Tribune
editor was Jealous Page man, and
without any qualms of conscience could
" cast his influence" for the Hyde Park
candidate, but for some reason or other
the Brattleboro candidates highly hon
orable methods are offensive to him.
Possibly no part of the million dollars
with which the latter is credited has
anointed the EDITORS itching palm.
This may account for the sour milk in

sufficient to say that both the matter and
manner OF presentation We're thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience. Professor Win

the T'ribune'S cocoanut. The Rutland
Herald is authority for the statement
that the Hardwick Gazette, also, will
not support Colonel Fuller if he is
nominated. This is very serious mat
ter. The Gazette is, however, a demo-
cratic paper, and the republicans will
try to struggle along without its help.
No one expects the devil to " support F"
any good cause. But all this petty va
porting of men whom their own folly
has put in false and entirely indefen-
sible position, or of democratic papers
with a republican revenue attachment,
will have no effect on the sturdy, ma
ture and well-developed purpose of the
republicans o. Vermont in respect to
the head of the state ticket. The dele
gates chosen at caucuses more free
from any constraint than any that have
been held in any contested canvass for
many years-if at any time-in which
indeed the only outside pressure has
come from the demagogical advocates
of class candidate-the delegates so
chosen and reported to date favor the
nomination of Colonel Fuller in a ratio
of three to one-and his supporters
number in their ranks the men aud
papers of highest character and greatest
influence in the state. There can be
but one rational outcome of to-day's
convention in respect of the nominee
to the governorship-the selection Of
Colonel Fuller by cordial reclamation.
