CURRENT COMMENT,

This hard times scare Is, so far as the
purchasing power of the masses is con-
cerned, fictitious. The people who bor-
row money, and carry stocks on mar
gins, are having Il hard time. The wage
workers, the salaried folk, the people
with good interest bearing securities are
not feeling the pinch Boston Record.
If President Cleveland can induce E.
j. Phelps to take the seat upon the bench
vacated by Judge Blatchford's death he
will disarm all criticism. MIR. Phelps
has a reputation as lawyer and pub
licst higher than any one appointed to
the bench for many years, and though
he has been strong partisan In politics,
his character is such AS to command con-
fidence from men of all parties. There
are other good men who have been sug-
gested, but none of quite his eminence
and reputation. The difficulty is apt to
be with our youngest lawyers of the first
class that the pecuniary prizes of the
law are such that they cannot afford to
disregard them for the comparatively
meager salary of judgeship.-T Boston
Herald.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The commercial agencies report per-
ceptible Improvement in the business
situation since the call for an extra ses-
sion of congress was issued. At the
same time the papers continue to report
about as many failures as ever. Several
investment companies and real estate
concerns in the West have gone to
pieces during the week. In the East the
condition of things is undoubtedly a lit
tie better than it was, and there is some
reason for hoping that it will continue.
Whatever may happen, we of Vermont
are probably as well able to stand hard
times as the people of any section. Crops
will grow and farm products will sell for
something, no matter how hard up the
rest of the country may become, The
money which these products bring will
be spent for merchandise of one sort and
another, and so things will 60 on about
after the usual fashion with us. The
manufacturing States and towns, where
the bulk of the population live from hand
to mouth and are at the starvation point
in "a hours after their pay ceases, and
where the life not only of the towns but
of all the country round about is depend
ent upon the continued activity of the
factories and shops-there the hard
times, If hard times come, will be felt in
degree impossible with us.

THE DROUTH.

Unless rains come soon, serious dam
age will be done to the crops of this sec
tion' No rain of any account has fallen
hereabouts for more than a month. The
hay crop was considerably shortened by
the lack of rain, not over two-thirds Of
the usual amount being obtained on up
land farms. Grain. corn and potatoes
need rain badly. The drouthy section
seems to be of limited area. In New
Haven there has been rain enough, as
has been the case also in the extreme
south end of the county and on the
mountains to the eastward.
a little rain fell on Wednesday and
yesterday it was cloudy and threatening.
The weather-wise predict that there will
be moisture enough and to spare
presently.

new system would be worse than the
silver bill. OF course our people might
in time adapt themselves to a tariff for
revenue or free trade, but it is neither
best nor necessary. The so-called in
come tax, about which so much is said just
now, is IN the nature of war tax In
times of peace, and its substitution for
the present system of raising revenue
would never be tolerated. think Mr..
Cleveland will consider all these things
the nature and condition of the pop
pie and probable effects of legislation
and go slowly. In word, he and his
part will keep their eyes on the Repub-
lican platform; that is, if they do
not make any of those famous Demo-
cratic blunders.n

SETTING A HEN.

Our esteemed contemporary, Uncle
Sans Live Stock journal, utters a
clarion note of warning against fool
hardy precipitancy in setting a hen.
"This is time of year." it says, "that
every one is setting hens or getting
ready" and although there may be some
few of us here in New York below Canal
street who are neither setting hens nor
getting ready to set them, we have no
doubt that the warning is timely.
Having placed the eggs IN the nest, the
next thing to do is to secure hen for a
three weeks engagement. The best
time for setting hen is in the evening.
Select your hen and proceed cautiously.
Do not approach her with brass band
and torchlight procession, but go unat-
tended. Take her up tenderly and put
her head under your coat. Lower her

SUCCESS IN FARMING.

A correspondent of the Michigan
Farmer gives some excellent advice to
his brother farmers. 1t is just as good
for the farmers of Vermont. He says:
Think; think intelligently, think con-
stantly. Having determined to what
your farm is best adapted, what market
or demand you are best situated to ca
ter to, think how to produce everything
grown to the highest state of perfection
and highest market value, and how to
make profitable use of everything pro-
duced by the farm, whether naturally
or artificially how to make available for
some good use every foot of land; how
to occupy every hour of time that should
be devoted to business profitably with
brains or hands. If this is done. success
is assured the measure will only be de-
termined by your ability and locality.
Ii matters little what may be the loca-
tion, to what principal product the farm
may be adapted, or what special market
II is best situated to supply, my convic-
tion is that the Michigan farmers

FOUR CANS SET FOUR FIRES

Mr.. Byron w. Crane of Bridport
on Friday learned something about
milk cans as fire-setting appliances.
He uses four of them, and after
they had been washed that morning
they were placed against the south side
of the woodshed to dry. When Mr..
Crane and his men came in from the
field at noon they found the shed on fire
in four spots where the cans had concen-
trated the rays of the sun upon it. One
of the fires had gained considerable head
way, and but for the timely discovery
would have made trouble.

gently to the nest; never think of set
ting her with pie-driver. Depart quiet
ly and say nothing about 1t. Do mot 20
cropping around in the darkness saying :
"S-s-sh, there's hen on" After a
brief interval, go back and see If the
hen is still there. If she is not, seek
another hen of a more sedentary dispO-
sition. Nothing can be gained by hold
Ing her on the nest with mushroom
anchor. No harm results from picking
up one of the eggs and showing 1t to her
In friendly and confidential way, but
it Is not advisable to break the eggs into
a saucer to convince her that they are
fresh. The period of incubation is
three weeks, three consecutive weeks.
If hen thinks she can take week out
of this period, to scratch up the garden,
her trolley is off, and it is not worth
while to temporize with her.
Nothing is said by our esteemed con-
temporary about setting impatient hens
on eggs that have been Matched for
twenty days or so in patent incubator !;
but it is easy to see how such a scheme
might lead to the utter encouragement
of the others of the flock who were not
thus favored.
"You will find" says our philosophic
contemporary, "that hens, like people,
are obstinate and differing in tempera-
ment." Hence 1t follows that one who
becomes successful in setting hens,
acquires at the same time something
akin to valuable knowledge of human
nature. Thus he is better equipped for
the struggle of life than if he had mas
tered only that other lesson, necessary
as the knowledge may be at times; how
to break up setting hem New York

GIVES HIS VIEWS ON THE GENERAL

GlNES HIS VIEWS ON THE GENERAL
FINANCIAL SITUATION.
From Mondays Rutland Herald
Congressman Stewart was In the
city Saturday, and In speaking of the
financial situation said: "The present
financial crisis was caused largely by
two things-the purchase clause of the
Sherman silver law and uncertainty and
fear about Mr.. Cleveland's policy, es-
pecially his tariff policy. The Sherman
law may be the leading cause, but it is
not the only one, and matters are so
complicated that no one remedy will be
sufficient. Repeating the silver law will
help materially, of course, but other
things must be done. For instance, bus
iness men-and they are intelligent men
do not know what plans to make for
the future, simply because the admins
tration has not mapped out its policy.
Business men are, in a measure, in the
dark, and they have done the wise
thing-stopped going ahead. AS a re-
suit there is depression and the worker
is out of work.
"Taking the situation as a whole, do
you think the Sherman law will be re-
pealedy'
"Yes, that Is, if the Democrats of the
AAOUcC SCh Oh SA-AopCdhCl IccO
and adopt rules which will stop filibus-
tering. AS the rules stand the law cam
not be repealed; and the very men
Carlisle, Mills and their school-who
called Reed tyrant and usurper realize
the fact. They understand that they are
in hole from which they cannot escape
without silencing the filibusters by TAX
ing Republican position on the rules.
However, think the law will be repealed
If the Democrats do not make too many of
the blunders for which they are famous
whenever they are IN power. 1t would
be political death for members outside
the silver States to oppose repeal"

land going to stick to the Democratic

ISEzzz-E[

The first really serious casualty oc-
Cured at the Worlds fair grounds in
Chicago on Monday, when at least four
teen persons were roasted in a fire at
the cold storage warehouse on the fair
grounds. The fire was discovered at the
top of tall tower surrounding a Chin
ney, and after the firemen got up there
the flames burst out undernea tn them,
shutting off any chance of escape. Like
most of the buildings on the grounds, it
was fllmsy affair, and burned quickly.
The New York Sun AYERS that if the
wind had been in another quarter every
building on the grounds would have
gone up in smoke within an hour, and
adds
Never were structures more inflamma-
BILE than those at the Worlds fair. They
are of wood, so disposed that it offers
the least conceivable resistance to COM
bustion, and presents maximum of re-
sistance to all ordinary methods of ex-
tinguishing fire. 1t is true that, consid-
cred as wooden structures, the improb-
ability of a fire starting is very great I;
but lit is incontestable that once we'll
started fire could only be put out by
the process of self-exhaustion. II would
go out when everything was burned up.
