that the late elections in the two

vote as compared with 1859, while the
Republican vote in both States was

HARD TIMES" AND THE FARMERS.

Up to very recent date the "hard
Vermonters were concerned, existed for
the most part only in the newspapers.
OF course those who had outside invest
ments suffered from the effects of last
summers panic, bur for the bulk of our
people the har lness of the times has
been more imaginary than real. There
are, we regret to note, already indica-
tions that the partial paralysis of the
country's industries will shortly be felt
here. 1t will manifest itself in lower
prices for agricultural products. The
farms produce about all that the non
farming populations in and around manu-
featuring cities and towns can consume
in prosperous times, when they have
money to buy what and all they want {;
and when, as now, these people are
short of work and funds, farm products
tend to accumulate. The natural effect
of too great a supply of them is a falling
off in price and consequent lessening
of profit to the farmer. This is lust
what is happening at present. The
folk in and about Boston, where the
greater portion of Vermont's surplus
products is consumed, are many of them
out of work and are living as cheaply as
they can; more butter, eggs and so on
than are really needed are going into
market and the prices of them tend
downward

ful phase of the matter that should not

Our esteemed contemporary the News,

that Mr.. Senter of Montpelier is hand
somer man than Mr.. Plumley, his pre-
decessor as United States attorney for
Vermont, but cannot talk as loud. 1t
thinks we never saw Mr.. Senter, and
adds: "While the retiring attorney has
never sought favor on the strength of
his personal charms, he is an Adonis of
the first water compared with the new
appointee and his voice would be
drowned in the raging torrent of Johns
intonations when the towering passion
is on him.. We do not understand that
Mr.. Senter is himself inclined to bank on
his beauty or to imagine himself fit
candidate for president in gynecocracy
indeed, we suspect that he might be in
cined to feel that one who called him
handsome was speaking ironically. AT
the same time he may not fully agree
with another contemporary no less es-
teemed than the News-the Hardwick
Gazette-which calls him "that shock,
headed synonym of reform. The Ga
Zette shows its wisdom, however, in
drawing no comparison between the
synonym" and his predecessor or any
body else, for it thus escapes the censure
of the other mans friends.

The Hawaiian business is the most
awkward and unnecessary tangle that
our government ever got into at any
time in its history. After recognizing
the provisional government established
by Americans in self-def, nse, for the
protection of their interests and the
interests of civilization, the admnistra-
ton made the mistake of yielding to
Secretary Gresham's idea of reinstating
the immoral negro queen, whose oppres-
sive conduct caused her overthrow.
