The Fate of Woman Suffrage.

1t transpires that Vermont is not the only
State in which he champions of woman
suffrage have been buffeted and cast down
when victory seemed about to crown their
efforts. The announcement in the FREE
PRESS that o number OF representatives who
voted for the woman suffrage bill subse-
ouently importEred various senators to kill
the measure, has attracted attention out
side of the State and developed the fact that
the same practice is resorted to elsewhere.
The New York Evening Post says that in
pursuing this course the Vermont Legsla-
ture has followed the example set by the
Now York Legislature in its treatment Of
woman suffrage. 1t continues as follows;
For years past it has been a standing
joke at Albany that one branch would pass
a bill giving the sex the right to vote, with
the understanding that the other branch
would defeat it, as 1t always did. The
House OF Representatives. at Montpelier re
Gently passed a municipal suffrage bill by a
vote of nearly two to Que, and the result
was hailed by tho uninitiated us marking II
great change in public sentiment. But
whom the bill came up in the Senate last
week, it was rejected by a vote of nearly
two to one, aud tho fact has
Leaked out that many representatives
who voted ave as u joke Immediately
went to senators and asked them TO
vote nay. This farcical manner of legis-
latiug is most discredltable from every point
of view. There is no such demand for
woman suffrage in Vermont as would justify
two thirds vote in its favor among the
representatives, and 1t Is disgraceful that
representatives should vote for a measure n
the House and then 60 over to the Senate
and work against it. The chief argument
urged against the bill in the Senate was the
admitted fact that very small proportion
OF the women improve their present oppor-

Maple Sugar Cooperation.

The fact that cooperation in the sale OF
maple sugar is possible, has already been
demonstrated in Vermont, and the plnn of
cooperation in production is beginning to
attract attention. The Springfield Home
stend notes the fact that Maple compa-
ny" in Burlington proposes TO buy maple
syrup from farmers, and work it in regu-
lar refinery equipped with vacuum pans ana
centrifugals, thus securing an extra iiAo
quality OF maple sugar. 1t also notes the
fact that the company has applied to the
commissioner Of Internal revenue III Wash
ingtou, to sec If the bounty Of one and
ttrea.fourth. CT two cents per pound will DO
paid them on such sugar, under suitable
regulations that shall prevent any syrup or
sap being worked, on which claim for
bounty is being made by The producer or
farmer: end that the commissioner has not
yet decided the matter. The Homestead
makes the following suggestion:
], there any reason why this plan might
not he adopted at n profit by n cooperative
company OF the producers themselves Why
isu { this scheme the right one? Suppose

and by such a plan farmers would get the
full benefit OF the bounty and tho best price
for their superior quality Of SUGAR.
No reasonable object Oh could POSSIBLY be
maGo to the scheme thus proposed, but some
technical point might he raised that would
render the project impossible. ii the talk
OF the leading democrats means anything,
however, the next Congress will restore

the bounty system. There would still ro-

there are few cases which have
Charlie Ross ending, and the manner in
which these mysterious disnppearances are
solved is often romantic TO a degree. The
Thanksgiving story Of the discov-
cry in New York city Of BERTHE
Kearney, who was lost In Montreal
seven years ago when a mere child, is
strangely like romance. The boy was
found by his uncle, Alexander Kearney, who
is an actor in ''The Soudan." Kearnsy
stopped to buy paper Of a newsboy, who
was crying because he was "stuckn with q
big bundle Of papers. Something In the
boys face suggested the lost nephew and
Investigation revealed that he was really
the boy who had bean stolen seven Years
ago, and for whom unavailipg search had
been made in nearly every large city in this
pountry. The actors kindness to al unfor-
tunate newsboy was the means OF restoring
the one for whom he had searched SO long
and, newly dressed, the happy child is now
At his comfortable homo in Montreal.
Few Thanksgiving storles are more touch
Ing and pathetic than this true tale OF
Nav York nowsboy, whose discovery and
restoration to his friends were due to a sim
pie act of kindness on the part of his actor
uncle Here is fit material for a whole SER
mon on the beauty Of kindness and the
fruits Of good deeds, but every reader can
draw wholesome moral from this story
which further illustrates the old adage that
