THE summer business in the Green

average more than one-half that of last
season, according to published reports.
This is also true of the seashore resorts
Locally, there is not much difference,
but guests from moneyed centres are

White Mountains, however, are enter
a considerable number of foreigners
Englishmen, Germans and Frenchmen-
who desire to see something of New Eng
land after having visited the Columbian
exposition. There are more guests than
usual, too, from California, Colorado and
places in the far West-peOple who were
drawn this way by the great fair in Chi

The Milford Journal of Saturday,

A DESPATCH from North Adams,
Mass, under date of the 18th, says:
''The Arnold print works, the largest
mills in this town, together with the
Eclispe mills of Gallup & Houghton in
this town, the Williamstown Manufact-
uring company in Williamstown and the
North Pownal Manufacturing company
at North Pownal, mills which made
cloth for the Arnold print works, will
shut down indefinitely TO morrow night.
More than 1000 employees are affected.
A. G. Houghton, president of Arnold
print works, says. In view of the I'M
settled condition of the business of the
country, we have decided to close our
mills until the situation improves. If
Congress should take decisive action
and the situation should clear up, we
would start up immediately The mills
have been run on full time with nearly
all the help until the present time, in the
hope that times would improve. The
shutting down is due to the inability to
obtain currency"
THE irr pressible Watterson of the

truth is that if the government is to con-
tinue the policy of making warehouse
of itself for the storage of products
which it does not need and cannot use,
it would be better to buy Kentucky |
whiskey than either Colorado silver or |
Kansas salt. Since it began buying sill
yer under the Sherman act silver has
gone down 80 per cent, and the govern
ment has now stock of dead silver |
stored away in its vaults which repre-
sents a loss of millions of dollars. If it |
had put the money into Kentucky whis-
key it would have put it into something |
which would have been growing better |
all the time and would have continued to |
grow better with age. 1t could have
kept that whiskey for a hundred years if |
it chose before attempting to put it in
circulation. Think of Kentucky whiskey

reason for believing it is not-it be-

land Herald that the water pipes have
been extended to the camp ground, so
that there will be IAN abundant supply
of water on the grounds. The chaplain
of the regiment will not need to worry
about the matter of drinks for the
troops, as he did last winter when there
was talk of their going to Chicago.
Neither will any aspirant for governor

water while on the grounds and thus
imperil his fortunes at an early stage of
