Vermont's Attractions.

Much has been done during the past five
years to advertise Nermonts resources
and its inducements for permanent settlers
as well as its attractions for summer Visi-
tors; but it is safe to say that better or
more promising work in this direction
was never done than is being accomplish
ed during the present season. We have
already taken occasion to refer to the com
mendable and efficient services Of the Cen
trial Vermont Railroad company in scat
toring its publications devoted to views
and descriptions Of Newnonts beautiful
scenery and other attractions broadcast
in the larger cities That this service is
already bearing generous fruit, is evident
to all in a position to know of the situa-
ton.
Another noteworthy effort in the same
direction is represented by the publication
entitled "Nermont, Its Fertile Farms and
summer Homes" which has Just been
published under the auspices Of the Yer
mont Board of Agriculture, and which
largely represents the work of Hon. Vic
tor /, Spear Of Brantree, the statistical
secretary of the board. Previous publica-
lions by tho Board Of Agriculture have re-

Good Times Past and to Come.

Our friends of the democratic press are
printing column after column tending to
show that business is reviving. This is
well and no one will rejoice more in re-
turning prosperity than republican news
papers and the republican manufacturers
about whom the free traders said so much
in 1892, and whose returning prosperity the
democratic editors are now laboring so as
sduously to prove. No one rejoices in
paralysis of trade and stagnation of in
dustries.
The manifest purpose of our democratic
brethren, however, is to prove through a
revival of trade that their attempts to
smash the tariff were not so fatal to Am
they even go so far as to show that in
many instances wages OF workmen are
being increased. They omit to state how
ever that the wages are being increased
not over the rate which was existing
when democratic victory in 1892 cast its
ominous shadow over the industries of our
nation, but over the low water mark
reached while democratic Congress was
casting uncertainties before 1t.
The situation is well illustrated by
data which a representative of the FREE
PRESS obtained in "A conversation with

Vermont a Happy state.

Tho New York Sun evidently apprc-
c;ates a good thing. In commenting on
the summer situation in various States it
says: at seems to us that three of the
happiest States are Vermont Kentucky.
and Oregon" Our luminous contempor-
AIRY very kindly places Vermont first in its
list of noteworthy happy States, but it
neglect5 to partiCularize, or give the rea-
sons for the faith which it holds as to the
happiness of the Green Mountain state.
We are left to conjecture whether our
commonwealth is happy because of its
healthful and invigorating climate; it's
beautiful and varegated scenery; the pros
peritY of its varied material interests; the
upright and patriotic character Of its pco-
pie; its conceded influence in national al
fairs; the strength and ability of its men
and the beauty and virtues of its women;
or the sweetness ana polariscopic attrac-
tons Of its maple sugar, it's marked alb
sence of democrats and its rock-ribbed re-
publicanism,
When a State has so many reasons for
happiness it is not strange that a news
paper of even the ability, scope and mag
nitude of the New York Sun should hest
tate to undertake their enumeration, es-
pecally in the crowded commencement
season. Possibly, too, the complimentary
contemporary did not care to run the risk
of offending sister States by seeming TO be
partial in dealing with Nermonts attraC-
lions, virtues, strength, influence and re-
nown, Moreover it is not impossible the
genial editor of the Sun feared to shock

Cattle Commissioners Get Together

1t should not be inferred from what we
said about the quarantine establishment
in Massachusetts as a protection against
tuberculosis, that there is any feeling Of
hostility between the Bay States cattle
commissioners and the Vermont state
board of agriculture. who perform the
duty of cattle commissioners. On the con-
trary there is perfect understanding be-
tween the two bodies, as the Hon. {. NJ
Winslow informs U.S. and the two are
working toward the same end-the effec-
tut determination in this region of bovine
tuberculosis.
These precautions are wise inasmuch as
the entire dairy interest is involved. but
the quarantine adds materially to the eN-
penses of cattle drovers. Some of the
men who so through the country for the
purpose of buying cattle, have found it
expedient to secure the services of a well
qualified veterinary surgeon to examine
animals before purchasing, which is Of
itself no small bill of expense. While the
quarantine established in Massachusetts
last season was being rigdly enforced II
was necessary for drovers to allow their
cattle to remain in quarantine Tor "a
hours and this involved large expense,
The fund at the disposition of the Mass
achusetts board became somewhat abb
breviated, and as consequence the quar-
antine in that State was relaxed Tor q

srgies but in a different direction. In or

A Worthless Tuberculosis Law.

The law passed by the Vermont Legis-
lature last autumn for the suppression of
bovine tuberculosis was pronounced a
useless weapon by not a few people, but
il has proved in operation to be much
more effective than can be the tuberculo-
sis law passed by the Massachusetts Leg
islature, If reports are to be believed. Gov
Greenhage declined to approve the meas
ure in the shape in which 1t first reached
him, and some of the Bay State news
papers think he would have done well to
refuse to sign the revised draft.
1t is claimed that the new law will be
practically worthless as a means toward
stamping out tuberculosis in neat cattle,
and the reasons for this conclusion are
summed up by the Boston Transcript 1t
says that in the first place the law is hope
lessly defective in the fact that the use of
tuberculin as dagnostic is at the option
of the cattle owner, save in exceptional
cases; consequently while the disease is
prevented from spreading in one direction.
it has free course in another Moreover.
it is by no means certain that the cattle
commissioners will have the funds at hand
to apply the test in all cases where it is
requested, for the appropriation made by
the law is only 100000, and that amount
is hardly enough to pay fer the work at
the central test stations, Brighton, Water
town and Somervile
1t is believed, too, that the law is not
only bad negatively, but that it will also
prove to be positively bad on account of
the opportunity that it opens for fraud.
1t is claimed that the provisions of the
law are SO loosely wordcd that shrewd
farmers will undoubtedly take advantage
of the tuberculosis tests for the purpose of
