Mr.. Cleveland's letter is a Characters
tis document. From first to last it is an
expression of demagogy and cant. Under
the mask of high moral pretentions the
chronic candidate assails the American
system of Protection with bitterness
that could hardly be exceeded by the
greediest foreign manufacturer that
seeks to displace American goods with
those made by his own pauper labor.
Accordinging to Mr.. Cleveland, "Tariff
taxation for the sake of Protection" is
Opposed to every sentiment Of justice
and fairness.n 1t is, he declares, $50
clearly contrary to the spirit of our Con-
stitution and so directly encourages the
disturbance by selfishness and greed OF
patriotic sentiment that its statement

profit or trust under the authority of
Congress, be eligible to any appoint
ment in the Legislature, or of holding
any executive or judiciary Office under
this State.
A strict interpretation of this section
of the State Constitution would un-
doubtedly preclude Col. Smalley's in
auguration as Governor of Vermont, SO
that it is fortunate for the State that he
was not elected as narrow as was the
escape. Assuming that he would not
resign his position as commissioner for
Vermont of the Columbian Exposition,
Col. Smalley could not by any possibility
have been installed at the head of our
State Government even if he had been
elected Governor. There are very few
men, however, who would not resign an
office of this sort to become Governor,
no matter how much they might need
money, the salary of Governor not being
an altogether lavish sum.
As serious matter of fact, however,
Gov.-elect Levi X. Fuller is fully eligible
to the high Office to which he has been
elected by the people of Vermont He
does not now hold and never has held
any office in National Bank or any
other Office created by act of Congress.
Consequently it is safe to say that there
is no immediate or prospective danger OF
Col. Fuller's election as Governor being
contested. Col. Smalley can, therefore,
continue to discharge his dual duties as
Democratic manager and Worlds Fail
commissioner as long as he can keep his
grip, and Mr.. Allen will not be in danger
of becoming ineligible for the Prohibition
nomination for Governor under the
single term rule for many decades to
come

The 'Wisdom and virtue'' of the State,
in the language of the Constitution,
meet at Montpeliar next Wednesday.
There will be a number of important
matters to come before the Legislature
and we hope the history of 1890 will not
be repeated. The ballot law should be
amended, its obscurities cleared up by
the substitution of good Kings English.
The highway law should receive atten-
ton, and (may we hope), the school stat
utes ought to be restored to the efficiency
of the laws of 1888. No doubt all these
and many other measures will be settled.
Senator Proctor will undoubtedly be
elected to succeed himself, and it ought
to be done unanimously. No other name
is seriously thought of. For Speaker
epresentative-electS Stickney easily wins,
his previous record as clerk of the House
eminently qualifying him for that posi-
ton.

WEArHER REPORT.

Another week of generally favorable
weather has gone by, and the harvesting
has been carried on rapidly in all parts of
New England. In many places the
ground was getting slightly dry, and
streams and wells were quite low; but
the moderate but general rain of the
24th-26th has served to check all fears of
drought for the present. The following
announcements are reported from differ
ent sections for the week: Eastport, .32
inch; Portland, .66; Northfeld, .4;
Boston, 80; Block Island, 81; Nan
tucket, .O4; New London, 80; New
Haven, .63. A very heavy thunder
shower occurred on the night of the oath,
and much damage was caused by light
ming. Many buildings were burned. On
the early morning of the 26th severe
thunder-shower passed easterly across
Northern New England, also doing much
damage by lightning.
Very light frosts occurred on several
mornings during the first of the week,
but little damage has been reported.
There are few crops that will be injured
by frosts now. Unusually high tempera-
lures have prevailed during the latter
part of the week; and, while it has serv-
ed TO ripen off crops, it has not been
favorable to potatoes or to plums.
About the average amount of sunshine
has prevailed.
Ver,nont:-Westfield: harvesting all
done; grain crop has been good; pota-
toes lightest crop ever know here, and are
rotting very badly now; apples an aver
age crop. Hartland: potatoes mostly
dug, yield light; corn is being husked,
yield good; pastures not overstocked,
have quite good feed yet. Brattleboro
crops are ripening fast; rowen very
nice, and nearly all cut; fair in full pro-
gress, and we'll patrionized. bennington:
fruit is plentiful and good; no damage
by frost; buckwheat has been cut.

CORRESPONDENCE.
sprx MinIsters wanted.

To the Editor: am amazed that there
seems to be any serious difficulty in find
ing reason for the prevalent GOODNESS
toward elderly ministers. They are not
spry enough to meet the demands of the
churches at the present day.
The churches are now so full of ma
chinery, they have so many organizations !
so many specialized interests, that ex-
pounding the Word of God and laboring
for the cure of souls has come to be but
an incidental feature of minister's bust
ness. The first requisite for him is the
ability to be spry and to run around with
his monkey-wrench and screw-driver to
attend to this, that, and the other inter
ests of the organization and its severalin-
stitutions. The secretaries, evangelsts
and specialists of all sorts demand that
he shall corral the people for their use;
the flock must be chased for the pleasure
it gives to be run after; inside and out
side, everywhere and all the time, the
necessity is the same; the man of God
must be spry-or move on.

COMPOSITION OF CHEWING GUM

Parts Of Its Maks.Up Are Secrets Known
Only to Manufacturers. ~
A great many false statements have
been made as to the composition Of or
dinory chewing gum. Of course, where
spruce gum is used, everyone knows
what the basis of it is, and the article
is sold to-day pure and in good quality
at from fifty cents to one dollar and
fifty cents per pound. Most of this gum,
according to the Indian Rubber World,
is gathered IN the Green Mountain
regions OF Vermont, and is sold through
the west, as other kinds are more pop
ular on the Atlantic seabeard The
gum, however, that is sold from candy
stands and in drug stores to-day is OF
totally different origin, and, as a rule,
is manufactured product. To GER
tain extent this Is secret, as all India
rubber compounds are secret to ordi-
nary observers. What Is known as Yu-
catan gum Is made Of gum chicle, sugar
and variety Of favors with certain In
gradients which are kept secret, but
help to make homogeneous mass. The
favors that are used are peppermint.
wintergreen, hcorice, pineapple and
some few medicinal ingredients.
Experts In chewing gum manufacture
can tell in minute whether good flaw
ors are used, whether the best gum b
incorporated and just what the quality
OF the compound is, but in, order to tell
this accurately they are obliged to test
It by chewing. The gum has q certain
quality Of sugar added to It to sweeten
and make n palatable. ',It' will be mo-
ticed that in chewing gum, after It has
been in the mouth awhile, the sugar
and flavor Is entirely gone, and what
remains is the rubber-like product,
which Is the chicle gum nearly pure.
This gum is the sap Of q Mexican tree
which is called sapodilla. II grows In
other countries besides Mexico, but
