condition of the health of his herd that
he may preserve its existence. This,
we believe, is the way the great body of
Vermont farmers are looking at this
matter of the existence of tuberculosis
among their cattle. It's the right view,
and is highly commendable one.
The development of the disease in
Caledonia county calls out a letter from
G. M. Winslow, chairman of the board
of agriculture. Mr.. Winslow takes
ground against the state paying for con-
demned animals. His opinion is that
" if the breeder has made such mis-
take in breeding as to have on his
hands a herd of cows that are con-
sumptive, it is his business to take care
of his cattle and destroy those that have
consumption" Mr.. Winslow doesn't
see why the state should buy up all
such breeders blunders. The point
that the farmers, not the state, should
suffer the loss of the condemned cattle
may be we'll taken. 1t does not, however,
necessarily follow that the existence
of tuberculosis in farmers herd is the
result of the farmers error in breeding or
"blunders" in any other direction 1t may
be his misfortune. He may be victim
of circumstances from which his more
fortunate neighbor may be exempt. How
far considerations relating to the public
health or welfare should intervene and
throw the burden Of the farmers loss
upon the entire community is proper
matter for public discussion. Mr..
Winslow's letter, which seems to be
very much in the hownot TODD it "
spirit, will appear in full in the agri-
cultural department of the next issue
of the WATCHMAN. Meantime, the
sentiment of the people seems to de-
mand such action on the part of the
public authorities as shall, with reason
able certainty, discover the extent Of
the prevalence of the disease and the
conditions under which it exists and
is fostered. And, in behalf of an
anxious public, the WATcHMAN re-
news the demand it has previously and
repeatedly enforced.

Tuberculosis.

The development of this disease
among the cattle of Caledonia county,
and the killing of large number of
valuable animals, has precipitated dis
cussion of the subject in the papers of
that locality. Certain of the medical
fraternity indicate disposition TO
ignore all the plain and indisputable
facts OF cases like those at Burke and
Cabot. Discussion that closes its eyes
to all the facts on one side of case,
evolves theories and draws conclusions
on evidence that is not in the case at
all, that ridicules and depreciates cor
relative branch of medical science, may
satisfy prejudice and blind self-interes'
but does not commend itself to the in
telligent inquirer after truth nor to him
who has decent regard for his duties
and obligations to his fellowmen, or
lust estimate of the true nature and i'm
portance of his own interest. A farmel
who is a good citizen desires least OF al
things to sell to his fellowmen or to hav'
consumed in his own family the produc
of diseased animals; he desires as
secondary consideration to know tn

Editor Of Vermont Wdtchman;-On the
the third of this month, at the California
Mid-winter International Exposition in
this city, " Vermont Day" was observed
There was large gathering of Vermonters
from every part of the Pacific Coast. The
meeting was to celebrate the 103rd ami
versary of the admission of Vermont to the
Union. There were present your governor,
Hon. Levi X. Fuller, General Alger of
Michigan, Hon. II. b. Carpenter Of Los
Angeles, Cal, and many other distinguished
sons of Vermont. So many kind words
were spoken about old Vermont homes, and
the homes of our adoption, that it was
enough to have raised thoroughbred YER
monter from his grave. The occasion and
the sentiments expressed revived reminis-
cences which may be of interest to some
people in the old state. They brought up
recollections of the home of my birth, the
Green Mountains, valleys, streams, the
pebbled brook where l first learned to
catch the speckled trout the snow-topped
mountains, the maple orchard, and last,
but not least our affectionate mothers and
stern fathers--for to them we give credit for
such good traits of character as we possess,
and for our success in life.
At Montpelier, in 1849 five young men be-
came infected with the gold fever, and jan
uary % in that year they started for CalfOr-
mia, that far-off country of which at that
time very little was known. They were

The Situation.

Among republicans, the presidents
his reasons for vetoing the Band
seigniorage bill, is heartily and unitedly
commended and approved as good re-
publican doctrine. There is not like
unanimity of feeling among the demo-
Gratis. In the South and West, the
language of loud condemnation is more
forcible than eloquent or respectful,
Anger and sorrow are mingled in the
comments Of representative democrats
from those sections of the country.
The South and West are practically
unit in vehement denunciation of the
veto. Senator German expresses a
grief, chastened by desire for har-
mony, that his party should be plunged
into another financial controversy
which may do untold damage. He re-
calls the fact that, during the debate
on the repeal bill last fall, party har-
mony could have been secured on a
compromise p OPPOSITION to coin the
seigniorage, and to issue 5000 900, 900
in bonds. The president at that time
rejected the efforts of his friends to Sc
cure the adoption of this proposition,
the wisdom of which he now virtually
admits by embodying similar sugges-
ton in his veto message. Amity,
which might have been secured at that
time on this basis, is now entirely out
of the question. That opportunity has
passed. The silver question will now
be forced upon the president at every
turn, even if the result is the defeat of
the tariff bill.
In the days that have passed since
the veto, one form that the question as
to what course democrats shall pursue
has taken is, Shall the Wilson bill be
passed with free-coinage amendment,
or shall the bill be killed outright? In
the final disposition of this matter, the
future of many democratic representa-
tives is at stake. Words of satisfaction
that come from home to senators and
representatives are as one to ten.
Meantime, the republicans are viewing
democratic decentralization with COM
placency and preparing to take advan-
tage of their disordered ranks. If they
shall, as the result of the discord among
their enemies, Immediately win back
| what thew lost when Cleveland was
elected and the senate passed from
their control, they will be happy and
the country will rejoice with them. If
however, the tariff bill shall be passed
with the income tax attached, their vic.
tory will only be somewhat postponed
Business considerations, however, lead
republicans to hope that the tariff bill
may be killed now and this long agony
of depression and calamity ended. Sc

pressure of the larger part OF his party,
in numbers and influence, he merits
severest criticism for his perversion of
the truth as to the cause of the calam-
tiles the country has suffered, and also
as to the present condition of the coun-
try. President Cleveland last summer
was ascribing to the Sherman law the
responsibility for all the woes that had
befallen commerce aud industry. He
assured the people that the repeal of
d" the mischievous silver purchase re-
quirement would be followed by the
quick and full return OF prosperity.
The law was repealed, as the president
says, on the first day of November,
1898, but has his confident assurance to
the nation become reality? Was the
president right or honest in his state
ment of the cause of the business de-
preston he deplored, and did he in
truth believe that the repeal of the pur.
chase clause of the act of 1890 was the
medicine languishing trade and in
dustry demanded? If these interroga-
tions are answered in the affirmative,
the presidents moral character may be
INDICATED in this connection, but biz
reputation for discernment, his quality
as statesman, must suffer. The presi-
dents political opponents maintained
that it was the democratic declaration
of war upon the industrial system of the
country and the evident determination
of the democratic party, in unrestricted
possession of the legislative and execu-
tive departments of the government, to
execute their threats to uproot and
change utterly the established indus
trial system, that brought disaster to
every department of business. The in
PRODUCTION and passage of the Wilson
bill has confirmed the worst fears that
settled down cold and clammy over the
country at the close of election day in
November, 1892. No one but the presi-
dent and his free-trade supporters sees
the evidence of reviving prosperity 30
glowingly depicted in the executives
message. A jaundiced person sees
everything through a discolored me-
dunn, and the president looks at the
country through eyes blurred with the
saffron of false economic principles.
Disturbance, unparalleled in its
severity and disastrous consequences, D."
has indeed swept over the country, but
the origin of the storm was not in silver
legislation, as the president says, but
in the threat of the overturning of the
tariff laws under which the country has
been happy and prosperous. The with
drawal of the Wilson bill, the passage
by the senate of resolution declarin g
against any radical modification of the
tariff law of 1890, would speedily settle
the question as to which Of The two
contentious is the right one-and nc
sane man who is candid will express
any doubt as to which of the disputed
theories would prevail.

KossUTH has been borne back in
triumph to Hungary after his long
exile. A million men in line do him
honor, flowers in mountains of beauty
and perfume testify to the sweetness
and purity of his life and the nobility
of his life's ambition, eloquent lips
proclaim his virtues and his impassioned
and undying love of liberty; but all
these fervid demonstrations of love and
gratitude and veneration are unrolled
before eyes whose lids are forever
closed; those words of eulogy fall on
ears which hear them not, and appeal TO
a-great heart which throbs for freedom
no more. Kossuth the patriot, whose
brief battle for liberty won him fame
that has survived undimmed through a
generation of exile and inactiyity-his
is Zone of the few immortal names that
were not born to die"

"OUR friends in Vermont sent us a
copy of the WATERMAN AND JOURNAL
a few weeks ago, and it has so improved
since we used to take it that we think
we must subscribe for it again as a
family paper, although we take three
New England papers," The above,
from Vermonter in Iowa, is one of
many expressions, oral and written, of
satisfaction with the WATCHMAN the
publishers have received, the past year,
from within the state and beyond its
borders. All this is very gratifying;
and, besides, this special instance cited
suggests way in which the WATCH
MANS friends may contribute to the
extension of its circulation.

There are reports about town that sew

sociation that opened business here have
been, or are about to be called upon to
make good the full amount of their sub
scriptions to the stock of the concern so
that the receiver may liquidate the af-
fairs. This is another lesson to the citi-
zens of the town who are too ready to take
up with outside enterprises notwithstand-
ing many excellent opportunities offered
at home for their capital and time.
Slush covered the street to day knee
deep in some places and gum boots were
in great demand. A few days ago when
the sun was casting warm rays two men
were engaged in sweeping the crossings at
the corner Of Main and Coal streets. To
day a sweeper was not in sight. The
management of the streets requires judg
ment, but it does not require a profound
mind to determine when the street cross
ings should be kept clean. 1t was in this
branch of the work that Dave Llewellyr
made himself most popular with the
people when he was supervisor.

The passengers don't relish tramping

listen to no terms of compromise other
than that the company should pay
damages to the relatives of the men who
were killed in the riot that was precipi-

was rejected by the railway people.
