News, news, news, news!
Its enough to give fellow the blues.
Nobody married and nobody dead;
Nobody broken an arm or a head.
Nobody come in to talk of the Scrap"
No one got boozy and started scrap;
Nobody run in for taking horn,
Nobody buried, nobody born.
oh, for racket, riot, fussi
Some one to come in and kick up a muss;
Some one to stir up the peace-laden air,
Somebody's comet to give us a scare.
Somebody thumped within an inch of his life,
Some one run off with another mans wife,
Some ones heart broken an6 mended again,
Somebody's baby got choked on pin;
Some one to come in and pay up his dues,
Anything, anything, just so its news.

The results Of the investigation of farm
and home ownership in Vermont made in
connection with the last enumeration are
contained in q bulletin which has been is
sued by the census bureau, and the show
ing made is creditable to the State to
marked degree. 1t is shown In regard to
farms that 23S per cent Of the farm fam
lilies own the land which they cultivate,
while only II. 62 per cent hire the farms
which they occupy. This is remarkably
large por cent ms compared with the
ownership of farms in other states and the
exhibit is also favorable as regards the
ratio Of farm membranes in this State
There are 30, 513 farm families in Vermont,
which are AZ. SO per cent OF the total mum
Der of families, IS, 1853. OF these 20, $50,
or S2.3S per cent own and 573S, or II. 81
per cent hire the farms cultivated by them
while OF the owning families II 900 or
A. 30 per cent have incumbrance on their
farms and IA, 935, or %. G5 per cent have no
inoumbrance. The average 100 farm fsmi-
lies are composed of 1862 that hire,
3G. SO that own with iucumbrancs,
and 40 . that own without incum-
brance.
In othar words among the average 100
farm families. IS hire their farms, 80
own with incumDrauce, AMI 46 without in
cumbrance. On the owned farms of the
State, which are valued at S2S go, 1913,
there are liens amounting to SIT, 952, 400,
which is 4l.1j per cent of their value, the
average farm incumbrance for the State
being $1,000 and this debt bears in tersst at
the average rate of 5.SS per cent making
the average annual interest charge $50 tc
each family. Each owned and incumbsred
farm, on tho average, is worth $2405, and
| is subject to r leh' ~ SIvO1. In 1850, l3.4l

sources OF the statistics for $50 aud 1886
are not the same, since the figures for lSS(
represent farms and those for $50 farm

comparison,

The Rt. Rev. William Henry Augustus
Bissell, ID. d., was born in Randolph, Vt,
Nov 10, 1914. lie fitted for college at thu
Randolph academy aud entered the Uni
versty of Vermont in 1892, graduating
with the class of 1886 He began teaching
classics and studying theology in the Yer
mont Episcopal institute in this city, then
in charge OF the late Bishop Hopkins. In
the fail Of 1897 he was a teacher in school
in Detroit, Mich, in company with bis
friend, George b. Eastman. August %,

of West Randolph, Vt, and the following
month he began teaching in the Troy Epis
copal institute Sept. 30, 1882 he was or
dained deacon in New York city by Bishop
Orderd9nk, and on July II, lS40, he was
ordained priest by the same bishop in Troy,
" y, and received the appointment of as
sistant in Chrst's church. Troy, which
position he held until the following year,
when he took charge of Trinity church,
West Troy, n Y, where he remained until
1915, when he was called to the rectorship
of Grace church, Lyons, n. y. In 1S4S he
accepted call to the rectorship of Trinity
church, Geneva, y. y, and there continued
until his election as bishop Of Vermont in
1865. On July 81 1898, he suffered
severe loss in the death of his wife.
During his residence in Geneva he was
soon recognized as an able, efficient and be
loved rector, being frequently called TO dis
charge responsible duties in the diocese OF
western New York, then in charge OF
Bishop De Lancey. lie was elected a NOM
Der of the standing committee OF that do
cese in 1880, an office which he continued to
hold for IL years, being secretary Of the
committee in 1868 and chairman from and
after 1859.

ton, moving to Burlington IN 1870.
The diocese of Vermont was organized
and Bishop Hopkins elected in 1882, so that
the church has been in charge of but two
men in 60 years. During Bishop Blssell 8
administration there has been a steady in
crease In every department of church work.

promotion business was conducted 10 vivid
ly described by Chicago correspondent of
the New York Press as follows A town
wou1 be visited and some honest man,
usually well TO do farmer, would be
picked out and asked, "How would you
like to be the cashier of a new bank2' The
farmer would be 'tickled to DEATH at the
idea, and with him as backbone the bank
would he organized, the promoter tax
ing the largest Llock of stock--$j000 or
sig, 600. The money was advanced by the
Columbia, and either Dwiggins or Sterbuok
or somebody they could handle was made
president Of the nav concern, which was
managed from the central office in Chicago,
80 far important operations are concern
ed, the bulk OF the funds being kept at the
reserve centre, the Columbia.
Most Of the branches OF the Dwiggins
bank closed their doors promptly when the
Columbia collapse was announced, but it lie
expected that other smaller banks iu the
Wost will be affected somewhat The pub
lie has no means OF knowing of course how
many other banks OF the Ximri Dwirgns
stamp there are scattered through tho W est,
but the country will probably know more
about them during the next thirty days.
1t is a satisfaction to think that large
| share OF banks in the West, as in The East
are run on sound business principles and
conservative methods, and will not he in

senator stanford Speaks for tho Chinese

senator stanford Speaks for tho Chinese
From the New York SUM-
Some surprise has been caused by Senator
Stanford's dsnunciation OF Chinese excu-
sion and OF the Geary law. In an inter
view he said:
at is n serious thing to throw any I'm
pediment in the way of our Chinese trade.
There should never have been n restriction
law passed In the first place, and the Geary
law, which has followed, is an outrage. |
admit that at ono time had fears Of tho
Chinese ovorruuing this country, but for
some years have had none.
ave need the Chinese to work in our
fields vineyards and orchards and gather
our fruit and do tho common labor OF the
country. | do not know what we would do
without them, and undertake to say that
they are the most quiet, industrious, and
altogether commeudabIe class of foreigners
who come here. There is no other class SO
quick to learn, and none so faithful.
81 am persuaded too, notwthstandin &
all that has been said about the majority OF
tho people being opposed to the Chinese
that they are not opposed to them. 1t Is
only the few. Our intelligent men are not
opposed to them, neither are the mechanics,
because the Chinese do not take up the
trades. They do simply the commonest
kind of work. and in doing they do not
really come into competition with white
| labor.
Congress has made no appropriation for
paying the passage of these people back to
J China, and the transportation compP MES
are not going to do it for nothing. 1t is
estimated that of the 100 coo Chinese in the
United States ~, 900 of them are in Cali
fornia. 1t costs $50 each to send them back
from htrs.
"They can talk about deporting them
but know one steamship line, the ono an
president #, the Occidental and Orienta
company, that will not do it for nothing

they are doinR.l

Not few republicans have held the opin-
ion that the republican national convention
at Minneapolis made a mistake when it
failed to place the name OF Vice President
Morton in the second place again on the
presidential ticket. and subsoquent events
certainly have done much to Justify this
opinion. 1t is too late to remedy this mis-
take il such it was, but if an interesting
rumor which comes from New York is true
Mr.. Morton may yet be compensated for
the apparent slight which he received at
Minneapolis.
1t has been learned that confidential
conference OF New York republican politi-
clans was held recently, in which the guber
Material contest in the Empire State next
year was fully discussed. The general fsel-
ing was that the bitter antagonism between
the national administration aud the two
New York senators, Hill and Muir
ply, il continued, would divide the
democratic party to such ex-
tent that the republicans would
have an excellent chance of carrying the
State. In event Of this favorable prospect
there was also a discussion upon the most
available candidates, and the prevailing
sentiment was clearly in favor of ex-N ice
President Morton 1t was the unanimous
opinion that he is the most popular and
available man in the Empire State. 1t was
argued that he belpcl to carry the Harri-
son ticket through in 1888 and the opinion
was expressed that the ticket would have
received & much larger vote if he had re-
manned on it in 1892
The statement has been made that no per-
son who has presided over the United States
Senate during the last half century was
more warmly admired on both sides OF the
chamber than Levi 7. Morton. Be this az
it may his popularity was amply Indicated
by the marked tribute paid him by the sen
ators without regard to party at the close
OF the slast regular session OF Congress
1t is too early, or course, to discuss the
campaign of 1896, but If the plan
mapped out at the conference OF New YorL
| republicans should be successfully carried
out and Mr.. Morton should be elected gov
eruor Of New York he would not only be-
come a presidential possibility, but hi
nomination as the republican candidate fol
president would also be the logical outcome
with the chances strongly in favor Of hi
election over any man the democrats Nigh
