The Tide Has Turned in vermont.

From the Brattleboro Reformer.l
The Vermont farmer who has been so
constantly taught for generation past that
the State was good one to "emigrate
from, has abundant reason for complacency
as he looks about the country He has dug
wealth out of the hills and valleys of the
Green Mountain State that has not only
enabled him to do what the bank cashier
says but to stand enormous losses from in
vestments in distant parts of the country
One reason for the mortgage paying is that
he has got cured Of his eagerness for these
distant Investments. He is now willing to
keep his surplus earnings at home instead of
rushing them off into pasture land build
ing-lot booms a thousand miles or more
away. And just as quick as he changes
his course the effect for good is tet
all around hun Vermont has always had
the soil, OF quick renewing fertility, the
climate, the water, the natural advantages
in every way, for a superior agricultural
state The cepsus figures prove it, aud
every mans observation confirms them
The conditions are wholly abnormal that
have of late years caused such agricultural
decline. The bottom trouble which has
brought SO much Of encouragement, is
that no matter how we'll man made his
farm pay he has grown poorer for il.
But the tide has turned. The lesson has
been effectualy learned. And within the
next 10 years Vermont and her opportuni-
ties are going to be appreciated by her own
people.

While the public in general is agitating
tue establishment of bureau of public
health within the department of the int
rior Of the Unted States, as suggested by
the national quarantine committee of the
New York Academy of Medicine, it is on
couragmg to note that there is also mark
ed awakening over sanitary regulations in
various parts OF Vermont. Such seasons Of
disturbance may excite some people unnec
essarily. but it should he remembered that
the quickest way to secure the removal Of a
nuisance is to stir it M and make it often
sive,
People whose families are suddenly strick
en- with diphtheria often wonder where the
disease could have been contracted. when as
a matter of fact investigation will undoubt-
eddy disclose the fact that the cause is to be
found in their immediate vicinity. and very
likely under their own roofs We notice
that case of this kind has just come to
light in Orleans county The health officer
of the town in which case of diphtheria
occurred decided that the disease was caused
by bad drainage, and when he had caused
the house to he raised, it was discovered
that there was cesspool ofsinkdr water
under the kitchen, which undoubtedly az
counted Tor the appearance of diphthera
In view of the fact that many other cases
of nature similar to that described un-
doubtedly exist throughout the State. and
~ view also of the ignorance which pre-
walls in relation to the causes and prevention
of contagious diseases the State Board of
Health have done wisely to issue a code of
rules and regulations for the connection of
buildings with drains and sewers in cities.
towns and villages which have no ordinances
of their own III regard to these matters.
Vermont villages have experienced a num-
Der of epdemics in recent years and the
enforcement of proper regulations will I'M
doubtedly prevent a repetition Of the ex-
perience.
Residents of Vermont should bear in
mind also that the law makes it obligatory
upon physicians as well as heads Of families
to report cases of diphtheria. scarlet fever,
small pox or any other contagious disease to
the health officers. 1t cost West Ran
dolph physician $40 and costs the other day
for neglecting this duty The only way in
which to guard against the spread of con
tagiOu diseases is to enforce the law and to
keep premises neat and wholesome. More
people lose their lives by carelessnesS than
from any other cause. Windsor has Just
learned this lesson to its great sorrow. and
other towns in Vermont will do well to
profit by its dear experience.

COnjuGal Conditions,

A wide range of information entertain
ing well as profitable, has been given TO
the public by the census bureau, but one of
the most interesting bulletins of the entire
series issued by the census authorities is
that dealing with statistics of marriage in
the United States \ great variety of ques-
tons have been discussed in connection with
the subject Of matrinony, such as ''Whv is
marriage becoming less popular among young
men ?' "Will the coming husband ever
come - and kindred topics but until the
publication of the present census bulletin on
the subject of marriage little reliable in
formation on the subject has been available
to the general public
According to the tables given, of the 81, e.
O61, $50 male inhabitants of this country in
1880 the unmarried numbered ., 90 SO, or
81. 20 per cent; the married / 905 22S. or
3i,9 per cent; tho widowed 81. 131. or
2.5l, and 40, l0l, or 01j per cent. were
divorced. OF the 80 554, $40 female inbabi
tants H. 1898 or 5624 per cent we're
single; II, 1876, 1876, or 30. Al per cent. were
married; :, 1874, 6l5, OF i.05 Der cent. were
widows, and q 800, or 0.24 Der cent
were divorced. The proportion of mar
ried females is seen to be la per cent
larger than tho proportion of married
males, The fact that the proportion Of
widows is three times as great AS the pro
portion of widowers, aud the number of di
vOrced women much larger than the num-
Der Of divorced men, indicates PROBABLY the
greater propensity of widowers and divorced
men to marry again 1t is TO be remember
ed that in making up the percentage of
married and unmarried in both sexes all
children are included and that the larger
proportion of unmarried males results in a
measure from the great number Of foreign
male adults that annually immigrate to this
country
1t has been generally supposed that in re
spect to men certainly, the percentage of the

From the Newport Express and Standard. ]
In summing up the political situation re-
lating to governor and Acknowledgment
in the Express and Standard of June ),
1892, we had the following to say of Lieut.. =
Gov. [. a. Woodbury. of Burlington:
"Lieut. Coy. Woodbury. is in the minds of
many. but he is out of the question this
time, as he is on the wrong side of the noun
tain, which all recognize as II great preser-
vative OF harmony among the rival interests
of our great majority. Beside the republi-
cans are saving him for 1894, when he ought
to have a nomination by acclamation. y
The hope we INDUCED in for the political
future of the one armed, genial exlieuten
ant governor in 1892, we still entertain. In
other words. the Express and Standard is
for Woodbury. for the next governor of Yer
mont, and we are pleased to note that the
prospect is so hattering from all parts Of the
State, that no other name will be presented
to the convention when it meets at Mont
pelier in June.

unmarried was larger in the cities than in
the country at large. Tho cities annually
attract large numbers Of young men from
the country, and tho constantly increasing
convenicnces Of bachelor life and the grow
ing expense of maintaining household,
have been regarded as causes of tho alleged
growing Discrimination among young men to
marry. But it seems that the percentage
of married males in cities is still over one
per cent higher than it is in the country at
large.
Divorced persons constitute o. "a per cent
of the married people in the country, or one
to every 1Sj married people, being most
numerous in the Western division and least
numerous in the South Atlantic division,
which includes such States as Delaware,
Maryland the two Nirginias, the two Caro-
lnas Georgia and Florida. Divorce is seen
to be more prevalent among the native
whites of native parents than among whites
of any other class and much more prevalent
among negroes than whites.
Our readers will be more especially in
terestcd, however, in the statistics of con
iupa conditions in Vermont. OF the l69,-
32, males in this State in 1890, 20, lao were
married aud 81 $50 were single, 6S0S were
widowed. 5Sl were divorced and the matri-
monial condition of l05 was unknown. OF
the 1863. 09J females in Vermont, -, 1856 were
single, 50. $50 were married, IA, 43S were
widowed. Ga were divorced and the con
iugal condition of IS was unknown.
1t is interesting in this connection to note
that there were over 5000 more males than
females in Vermont in 1890, while
of the total population of the whole
country the males constituted 51,21
per cent and the females S19 per
cent This shows that there is about as
much of scarcity of girls in other sections
of the country as in Vermont, SO that there
is no matrimonial reason why Vermont )
Young men should 20 West or South
If census of conjugal conditions
throughout the country had been taken in
previous years, the data for interesting
comparisons would have been at hand, but
the census of 1890 was the first to include
this subject With similar conjugal sta
tistics gathered in 900 valuable compari
sons can be drawn, and it will then be pos
Sible TO tell tn a certainty whether matri-
mony is increasing in popularity with the
young men. II is barely possible that by
1900, if the womans crusade is gigantic
success, the question will be ''Why is mar
riage decreasing in popularity with young

From the Buiialo Courier.
What have the woman suifragists to say
TO this 1t is asserted that i'll Kansas the
enfranchise of women has been most
disappointing in its outcome. When it was
a new thing they all went to vote, but now
that the novelty of the thing has worn off,
and they know that they can vote if they
choose, they appear to stay at home. In
Leavenworth, where $500 women registered
last year only 1000 registered this spring
and Of this number but 300 or 400 voted at
last weeks election. Evidently it is not so
much the desire to vote that actuates the
women who plead for suffrage as the knowl-
edge that they cant.

tell US about it. 1T is very simple; Just
go to bed and take the most comfortable
position for sleeping. Then slowly open and
close your eyes. If after forty winks you
are not asleep, then try forty more. The
great difficulty with victims of insomnia is
that they almost always fall TO thinking Of
the events Of the day. This may be pre-
vented 10y persistent counting, but that is
itself a mental effort and wakes one up.

The general order in which Department
Commander G. f. Branch of the Vermont
department of the Grand Army of the Re
public calls attention TO the sacred obser-
vance of Memorial day, and which appears
in another column, contains beautiful and
fitting tribute to the tender memories of fall
len comrades. The order breathes spirit
of pure patriotism throughout, such as one
would expect from the official leader of
Nermont's veterans, and it will undoubtedly
find ready and hearty response among the
members of the order throughout the State.
There is one feature among Department
Commander Branch's recommendations to
which we desire to direct particular atten-
ton and that is the suggestion that in the
afternoon of the day preceding Memorial
day every public school in the State dis
pense with the regular recitations and de
vote the afternoon to a study of the causes,
incidents and results of the rebellion. This
suggestion is not made, of course, with the
idea of keeping alive any spirit of animosity
toward the South, but to inculcate among
the children of the State lessons of that
patriotism which has rendered the "Green
Mountain girls as well as Vermont men
famous.
Side by side with love of home and at
times even above that pure and elevating
sentiment, should stand love of country,
and the spirit of pure patriotism cannot be
implanted too young in the breasts OF the
future men and women of Vermont. The
scenes and incidents connected with the
civil war furnish examples of the most he
roic devotion to country, and no true Amer
lean can study the causes and results of the
| rebellion without feeling the cheek glow with
enthusiasm over the triumph of::the cause of
"union and Liberty" The spirit of pat
| riotism is ennobling for every person who
| breathes it deeply, AID no more fitting and
profitable exercise could be designed forschool
children in connection with the season of
| tribute to our fallen heroes than that sug-
| este by the department commander.

1t is plain however, to the Reformer that
whatever action is taken at this late day,

that may he foreshadowed or may arise dur

toward free trade, it views the condition
