CURRENT COMMENT.

Since the Republicans carried Pennsyl-
vania by plurality of nearly 100000,
Democratic candidates for the governor
ship have disappeared. In New York
State there Is similar dearth of ambi-
tious Democrats. Even that Tammany
daisy, Roswell p. Flower, Is fighting shy
of a renOmination.-[M Mail and Express.
Concurrent opinion having centred
upon Col. L. A. Woodbury. of Burling-
ton for Vermont's next governor, atten-
tion is now being turned to the lieuten-
ant governorship. Opinions are strong
ly at variance as to the right man for
this Office and Il right smart contest is
likely to he had before rhe incumbent is
chosen Fair Haven Era.
If an election were held now the Demo
Gratis would be swept from power by a
tidal wave of popular Indignation such
as the country has not seen for 20 years.
Unless the party leaders can speedily
wrest success from their dismal failure
and win back the public confidence they
have lost. Republican landslide at the
congressional elections in November will
be inevitable New York Herald.

A Washington dispatch to an esteemed
contemporary saws: "Hon f. II. Morse
and wife of Proctor are in the city on a
business trip" There Is nothing incen-
diary about the telegram, but it will serve
as well as anything to show common
misuse of Il title that is rapidly losing
whatever Significance it ever possessed
1t is getting so ia these latter days that
every one of any sort of prominence is
put down in some newspapers as
"HOn." whether he is rightfully entitled
to it or not. In the old days in this
State it was given to the governor and
lieutenant governor, the judges of the
courts, the members of the higher
branch of the legislature, and, of course,
to senators and representatives in con-
gress; these men and these only were
"honOrables". In recent years the title
has been given, and perhaps with pro-
priety, to the several States officers. If
it is to be used at all, its use should bt
kept within the proper limits, or else it
will presently come TO mean nothing eX
cept that the user of it wants to make
himself solid with the person to whom
he applies it.

it behooves us to consider few facts In
connection with our business. Small in
area as Vermont is, we are now selling
outside our borders about S6,OO0,O0O
worth of dairy products annually. This
is encouraging, but it would ee vastly
more cause for cOngratulation were It
not for the fact that we are buying out
side our borders and bringing in about
the same amount of grain and feed, the
purchases being largely of corn when
we can raise for much less than It costs
to buy it. Our purchases of commercial
fertilizers amount to about one fourth of
million dollars annually.

LIGHT ON "OLD FOUNDERS

BY way of answer to the enthusiastic
seekers after knowledge we will sub
nit some live specimens of the old
FOUNDERS to their critical observation.
Let us premise that the word "round-
er" is thus defined in the International
Webster:
"Rounder, u. One who rounds; one who
comes about frequently or regularly"
Now then-
If our inquring friends of the State
press will cast their eagle eyes over the
commonwealth they will observe
One man who has had three very inn
pOrtant State offices in succession, Civ
Ing him record of continuous office
holding from 1882 until the present
time.
One man who has held important
State office from 1882 to date.
One man, now candidate for lead
ing State Office, who has been an office
holder ever since 1867, with the excep-
tion of perhaps couple Of years.

The Wilson tariff bill, AS revised by
the senate finance COMMITTEES, was finally
reported to the senate on Tuesday. The
present arrangement is that 1t will be
called up for consideration on Monday,
April 2. The measure as reported is not
approved by majority of the finance
committee, but they will try to have
the senate fix it as they want it. The
Republican senators are all opposed to
the bill and particularly to the numerous
changes from specific to ad valoren
duties, which latter, they say, open the
way to frauds through underyaluations.

There is no reason why the voters of
Vermont should not have the pleasure of
electing lieutenant governor next fall.
No less than six full-hedged candidates
for the Republican nomination are in the
field, while probably not less than six

willing to do the dark-horse act should
one of these six fail to secure the prize.

a correspondent of the Montpelier
Watchman is desirous that the Office of
attorney general of the State be estab-
lished IN order that the States attorneys
may have suitable aid in the trial of i'm
portant criminal cases. 1t does ot
strike us that there is any necessity for
such an official, the law already provid-
ing for additional counsel for the State

Besides, unless we are careful about
creating new offices, the population of
the State will be like the regular army,

sion for cologncs and floral essences,
and used to pour a quantity on my
handkerchief just before leaving my
room. Well, there was one old lady
who sat at the same table and was late,
like myself, and I concluded by the
way she shifted at me that she did not
like perfumes. One day she deliber-

that she had known many cases where
