ment OF the State Agricultural society and
the Chsmplain Valley association will be
held at Howard Park, Burlington, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Sep
tember 8, g. and 8, 1893.
The annual fair 10 the farmers annual fes-
tival and one Of the mile stou es that reg ulariy
marks an era of agricultural and mechani-
cal progress and points to a happy con
summation, resulting from natures bens-
ficence and mans labor. and 1t serves as
bond of union whose influence is beneficial
to all persons. The farmer, the msohanic
and the artisan can vie with each other
here in friendly competition, and while re-
newing old acquaintance can form new ones.
They can here feast their eyes upon the
concentrated gathering of bIooded horses,
cattle, sheep swins and poultry, and the
various products of the soil, shop and house
hold, an unparalleled list of entries having
been made in these depsr tments. Speed con
tests under proper restrictions are acknowl-
edged as a legitimate accessory to fairs, as
the prizes offered stimulate the breeding OF
better stock. The $4,000 offered IN stakes
and purses in this department has called out
some OF the finest racing blood In Vermont
and eastern New York, as a glance at the
prograi.ine VIII show. In addition to the
regular programme a running race has been
arranged which is likely to be quite animal
ing. The managers, aware that the public
expect something in addition to the regular
| programme of q fair, have arranged with
Prof. W. w, McEwen, the worlds acknowl-
edged aeronaut for two balloon asceuslons
and parachute leaps, aud for the children,
| Mr. Weavers new steam riding gallery
will be in constant operation during the
fair. BY arrangement with all railroad
and steamboat lines, animals and articles
for exhibition will be transported to How
ard Park and return for fare one way, and
passengers will be carried at excursion rates.
| Last, but not least, we are assured that the
electric street railway will be completed and
| in operation between the city and Howard
! Park by the time the fair opens. Music
will be furnished each day by Sherman S
Military band.
The grounds and track have been put in

more extensively advertised this year than
ever before, and with good weather the
managers are assured of the largest atten
dance and the best Fair ever held in the

proved that he had Lost mono of his old-tims

Senator Morrill, asked for an indefinite leave
of absence from his seat. The heat OF
Washington summer has been telling on the
venerable senator's health, and although the
most conscientious man under the dome on
the point Of regular attendance, his physi-
clan has ordered him back to the cool hills
Of Vermont. There where night frosts
threaten the August crops and the county
cattle show is the widest form of social
dissipation, the senst)r will breathe new
fund OF vigor. Although the Oldest Eng

From tho Boston Herald

1t Is reported that there are 40 candidates
for the office OF bishop in tho diocese of Yer
mont. They multiply ike grains of mus
tard seed, and good many mon who are
barely equal to the ollce aspire to the OPP
portunity OF filing the place, or their
friends aspire for them. Father Hall is
said to be a prominent candidate, and
Rev. Henry F. Allen, rector OF the
Church of the Messiah in this city, is
named by the high churchnen as an
available man to represent their views.
He has an excellent record and hi.
qualifications for such Office are well
known. The three original but defeated
candidates at the convention which elected

She had e slight soreness Of the throat, but

with diptheria. Now several of tho friends
who kiso.d her are i'll with tho same disease,

like some other dangerous doings and should
not be taken without tina prescription OF a

The Boston Herald pays the following
handsome compliment to Senator Morrill,:
The venerable Senator Morrill, is fine
specimen OF well preserved New England
intellect and usefulness. He has discussed
the currency question longer than any man
in Congress, and he has always taksn sound
positions with regard to it, The old gen
tleman is rather Anticipated in his Views on
the tariff but even here we would trust
him to be more moderate and practical tina n
some of the younger men who have essayed
to take legislation upon 1t out OF his hands.
His currency speeches are always able, 10
terestng and instructive, and he clothes
them in an agreeable diction, which indi-
Gates liveliness OF mind that age has been
Intellectual to impair.
1t is not surprising that Mr.. Morrill,,
firm boief in the policy of protection fails
to meet with the approval of a paper OF
such free trade proclivites as the Herald,
but Vermont is very we'll satisfied with
these same Anticipated views

The postoflices OF the country are being
made to play part in the present financial
crisis. Now that the savings banks are re
quiring thirty and sixty days notice, nnl
the national banks hesitate to answer the
call for currency, many are using the post
office as the depositary of their moneys, a
New York correspondent says that drum
mers and travelling actors buy orders in
whatever town they may be on salary day,
payable to themselves in New York, and
cash them all at once when they get home
The little slips are handler than cash to carry
and If they are lost they are of nc value to
the finder Then hundreds of persons who
have taken their savings out of the banks
and who have no safe in which to keep them
in, have put them in the hands OF the gov
ernment for safe keeping. There has been a
tremendous boom In the money order bus
mess at a number Of the larger postofiicss

Notwithstanding the fact that there has
been in the eleven years between 1882 and
1898 an increase In the number of national
banks in the country and corresponding
Increase in their capital, there has been a
very marked decrease in national bank note
circulation. The banks have increased in
number from 1853 to $3.50 and the cap
itsl has grown from 1886, 900 to 1858, =
Co., 900 but the circulation has fallen
off from $35S, TAP, O34 to SIZE GS3, $50, or
more than one-half. Under tho present
banking laws these banks could put out
ninety per cent Of their paidup capital in
their currency, which would amount to
$619, 200, 900. If it were profitable to thus
increase the volume of the currency the
banks would Of course avail themselves OF

The proprietors and managers of lead
works throughout the country are pro-
testing with much vigor against the pro-
vision of the new tariff bill, which admits
free of duty all ores which carry greater
value in silver than in lead. They say it
will operate to seriously injure the silver
and lead mining interests. Colorado will
be especially affected. She has many
mines low in silver and high in lead which
can be worked at profit only with the
latter metal selling at a fair price. The
new tariff arrangement that is proposed
would close good number of mines, even
if silver were commanding the prices of
two or three years ago. 1t would be
practically free lead. And free lead would
bring the miners of this country into
competition with the peon labor of Mex
leo. The vindictiveness with which the
Democratic party, upon every possible
occasion, attacks the wages of the toll
ers has ever been phenomenon of ig-
norance or of moral perversity.-Denver
