WORLDS FAIR DAMAGES.

The fair has been particularly unlucky.
Its managers early began to quarrel and
have kept it up. The Sunday closing
question is a good example of other
matters. Now, the dispatches state
that the foreign exhibitors are getting
ready to file claims against the national
government for damages, claims to the
amount Of $500, 900 having already been
prepared Before the fair is over these
claims will probably mount into the
millions and Uncle Sam may have big
bill to pay.
Notwithstanding the fact that the gov
eminent gave little or nothing, compare
lively speaking, to the fair, it stands
as sponsor to the enterprise, and hence
is liable, according to the view taken by
the foreign exhibitors. This is the idea
also, to all appearances, of the national
commission. as it passed a resolution
ordering that all the evidence OBJ
tainable be prepared in regard to dam
ages sustained by exhibitors, that this
may be submitted when the foreigners
present their claim for damages.
Since the exposition began foreign
ers have suffered not only great incon-
venience but absolute loss on account of
leaky roofs, broken skylights and other
imperfections in the buildings. Since
the fair opened and ali the foreign ex-
hibits we're placed, there have been sew
eral heavy rains and in every instance
the foreign exhibitors have suffered.
More than one exhibitor has complained
and one or two closed their exhibits,
vowing they would not open them again
until the fair directors had the leaks
fixed
The government paid $500, 900 for dam
ages claimed by exhibitors at the New
Orleans exposition nine years ago, and
this is cited as precedent for the action
of the foreign exhibitors in the present
case. They set up the fact that they
would not have come to Chicago at all,
had it not been government enterprise;
that the Columbian exposition is a
national enterprise, and that the govern
ment, in consequence, is responsible for
damages done to them, even though the
local directors are the ones entirely at
fault.
AS the government cannot be sued,
and as the fair corporation is distinctive
ly local one and the foreigners do not
care to sue it, the exhibitors concluded
the best thing to do was to make direct
claims for damages against the govern
ment. The foreign commissioners are
assisting the exhibitors in every way
possible, and the national commission
has awoke 10 the fact that the general
government was in danger of au lnroad
upon its treasury.

THE HAY CROP IN VERMONT

Not for several years has the hay crop
in northern New England, with the pos
sible exception of some parts of Maine,
been so bountiful and so fine as it has
been in Vermont and in some parts of
New Hampshire during the present sea-
son. Vermont is the greatest and most
successful field for dairy farming in the
country, and in and around Woodstock.
which means the greater part of Wind
sor county, the hay crop, which is al
ways bountiful, has been exceptionally
rich and the fine weather of the last
two weeks has given the farmers an OPP
portunity to gather it in fine condition
and to make abundant provision for
their stock in the winter. At this mo-
ment, many of the farmers have gath
cred and cured their entire crop, and
they say that they have not before l.
many years been able to gather the hay
crop to better advantage.-Bostop

The Troy Press, in controversy over
the question whether it is not rule that
should work both ways-if the village

the farmers should contribute towards
the streets and sidewalks of the village
OF city-says: Farmers as class
have not realized the inestimable advan-
tages good roads would be if leading
from their farms to neighboring mar
kets. Undoubtedly they have been
somewhat educated in this direction by
the animated and extensive discussion
of the subject during the last few years.
Poor highways are a prolific cause of
cheap farms; good roads quickly enhance
farm values. A thoughtless farmer does
not consider how much he loses through
bad roads. In travelling them it takes a
great deal more time to get over the
same distance, and time is money, you
know. His horses, harnesses and vehi-
Giles wear out faster, and he must get his
team shod oftener. Dealers who want
to buy cattle, sheep, lambs, wool, hogs,
hay, grain or vegetables will not visit
farms on bad roads so often as they do
farms on good roads, and the produce of
the latter therefore enjoys better mar
ket. A farm on a good road, other
things being equal, will sell at a mater
tally higher price and more readily than
a farm on poor road"

AMONG much other important
business transacted by the late irri--

it adopted embraces the following
features: No private ownership of
water; that water companies are
common carriers; that all water in
streams belongs to the public; that
the government should aid in put
ting water on the public lands
which need it; that the desert land
act is in the interest of land and
water monopoly; that when water
is put on land by the government,
it should be sold to actual settlers
only and in tracts not exceeding
forty acres. The enumeration of
principles above mentioned, among
other things, will be issued in the
form of an address TO the people of

proceedings of the congress are to

PRODUCTION of bill donating two
thousand acres of land to the terri.
.torial prison. This land lies along
the river adjoining the prison and
when the river is leveed, will afford
q farm which will do much toward
rendering the prison self-support-
ing. Another bill has been intro
duced in accordance with the
governors recommendation, giving
from the U. 8, treasury the sum OF
$4,000 forl the support Of the
prison. The governor found in
compiling his repor t that this sun
was due the territory undera Law

for the support of the prison the
