CARL OF MONTAGUE
A Most Valuable Acquisition to the Ex-
pertinent Station Herd.

pertinent Station Herd.
The Experiment Station has recent
ly placed at the head Of herd one Of
the finest registered Jersey bulls ever
seen in the state. If a glorious ances-
try can make an animal royal he well
deserves his name, earl Of Monta-
que" He is a half-brother to the
noted COW Eurotisama, who made over
945 pounds of butter in year. great
grandson OF Eurotas, the first of the
great tested cows making IT'S pounds
OF butter in a year, and his great
granddam was full sisterof Mary Ann
OF st. Lambert, who made s67 pounds
OF butter in a year. He thus COM
bines in an extraordinary degree the
blood OF three of the greatest cows
ever raised His pedigree for six gem
erations back, with their get, is sprin-
kled thickly with cows giving over IA
pounds OF butter a week. The Rioter
and Stoke Pogis lines of blood appear
at their best in the "Earl's' pedigree.
Individually he is a noble looking
animal, and would score well in the
ring. He was bred by D. f. Appleton
OF Ipswich, Mass, for while headed
the registered Jersey herd Of Col. r j.
kimball Of Randolph, and has recent
" been in the possession Of Hon. Chas.
NJ. Pratt OF Long Island, N. Y. The
experiment station officers feel Justly
proud over the building up Of a herd
which in the future will outstrip the
fine records already obtained. Bur

Frederick Mills, formerly of South
Ryegate but now lieutenant governor
of Idaho, paid his relatives and friends
a flying visit about two weeks ago. Mr..
Mills fitted himself for his chosen call
ing, that Of a civil engineer, at the
Vermont university, graduating with
honors, and was for time engaged in
The New England coast survey, after
which he was in the government en-
ploy in perfecting The survey in differ
ent portions of the West. He is now
the chief engineer in the great and
mnch agitated subject Of irrigating
the vast plains east of the Rocky
mountains by means of building i'm
mense reservoirs on the mountain sides
with which to irrigate the vast plains
below. The United States, we under
stand, has coded million acres for
this purpose upon conditioned obliga-
tons as to development and irrigation.
While at Washington perfecting these
arrangements with the government,
Mr.. Mills improved the golden oppor-
tunity of visiting the home Of his
childhood and renewing acquaintance
with his many friends who SO heartily
him on his noteworthy
and successful career. Mr.. Mills is
about thirty years of age, and being a
young man of sterling worth in all re-
spects, we bespeak for him bright
future. Exchange.

The Waller Case Up to Date.

The refusal Of the French government
to supply Ambassador Eustis with a
transcript Of the testimony in the snap
trial Of ex-Consul Waller, who is now
In a foul prison in Marseilles thanks to
the Vaccinations of greedy colonial
rivals who were envious Of his conces-
sions, brings this interesting case to a
head. The fact that Waller is a negro
should not cause the state department
to overlook the other fact that he is an
American citizen, and as such is en-
titled to the very utmost support Of the
United States government In all things
fair and right.
The refusal Of the French authorities
to perform an act Of common courtesy
In the furnishing Of a transcript Of the
alleged evidence has very obviously q
suspicious look. 1t lies within the dis
cretion of France either to honor our
request or to dishonor 1t. Since she has
chosen the latter we can make no re-
prisal, and will have to pocket the af-
front with the best grace possible. But
1t il none the less a discourtesy. doubt
less based upon the idea that American
diplomacy lacks sufficient coherency to
make the sighting Of It q thing Of
danger.
The incident is humiliating in its in
cidental suggestion Of our national
weakness. Had Waller been q British
subject, the chances are he would never
have been arrested; but II arrested and
imprisoned, England would not have
asked twice for his release. One refusal
half as exasperating as that which
France with complacency ~vouchsafes to
the United States would have brought
to the government at raris from the
government at Downing street such a
message Of protest as would have car
ried the point and secured the prisoners
prompt restoration to liberty.
In some matters the American people
are far too easy-going.

Going In Debt.


There is probably no other nation in
the world which equals the CHEEKY en-
ergy and onc with which the
American people go in debt. In a ma
tional sense this is we'll shown in the
amazing patience with which the public
has permitted the present administra-
ton, in a time of profound peace. to go
in debt in order to pay the running ex-
penses of the government, when its only
excuse for such an anomalous condition
wal that it wanted to hack at home in
dustry and start the mills going on the
other side.
But the same characteristic also DOM
mates individual transactions. In Eu-
rope the great mass of people pay as
they go. and go only so far as they can
pay. In America, the going is the para
mount consideration; the matter OF
paying q mere-and often a forgotten
detail. The accumulation Of debts ap-
pears to be the steadiest and most ac-
tive American industry. The man In
this country who is out Of debt is a
rarity. In fact, we are not certain that
he is mo- pretty generally looked down
upon. Debtlessness, in the accepted
commercial view, means cowardice. The
progressive citizen gladly assume
debts because he has confidence In his
ability to pay them-confidence in the
might of his brain or his Drawn so to
shape matters that he, as we'll as his
creditor, will profit as a result of the
obligation between them. Going in
debt is a mans notification to the
world at large that he has begun life's
battle; 1t is a challenge to the fates to
get ready for a tussle.
In 1880 the total private indebtedness
of the American people amounted to
S. 1901 OO, 900. In September, 1892, 1t had
reached $40, 900, 900, OOO, a gain of 200 per
cent. in twelve years. This was per-
haps an unwise initiation Of indebted
ness. If in those twelve years Ameri-
a had kept their debts down one
half there would probably have been
NJ panic. This, of course, Is the great
danger; that the pastime Of going in
debt will be overdone. Yet the very
fact that u countrymen are eager to
accept such risks is proof that they still
have plenty of good, red blood in their
veins, which, though it may now and
then drive them to excuses, will upon
the average keep them well to the front

Garfield had the right idea when he

board, assuring him that II he was
worth saving he would somehow be able
to swim safely out. The man who
fears to go in debt will never become
q great man. He is more likely to be-

that he had aided German, but I know

right to expect aid, refused 1t on Quay's
account" The proper time" for prov

Grover CIoveIand's Strength.

Chicago Times-Herald: Looking the
facts In the face, 1t must be admitted
that Grover Cleveland Is more esteemed
by the American people than any other
man in the Democratic party. and Is
stronger today than the party itself. This
Is not saying that he has moi made grew
Gus mistakes. or that he Is not sadly out
OF touch with public sentiment on impor-
tant questions: that his bump Of %self-es-
TEEN Is not abnormally developed. or that
he Is an ideal president. The point Is that
despite these things he Is regarded as
honest. fearless and on vital matters right
at heart. Business men forget his free
trade proclivities. his defective foreign
policy, and all those things in recalling his
firm stand against spoilsmen and dema-
gogues, his firmness when riot raised its
hands against the national authority. and
his ~soundness on the money question:"

An Interesting Case Of Libel,

O nv
The suit Of the treasurer of the Gi-
rard Trust company against the Phila-
delphia Press for 500. 900 damages, fol-
lowed by an action in criminal libel
directed against the distinguished edi-
tor Of the Press, Charles Emory Smith,
who had no more to do with the publ
cation Of the mistaken report about
MI. Ely than the man in the moon,
n who knew even less about 1t at the
time. the whole supplemented by a
suit for $500 0 damages brought by
the Trust company itself forms, sepa-
rately n together, a most interest,"
ing episode. which exhibits with sin
gular vividness the faultiness Of the
present libel law.
At the outset it should be said that
the Press uttered a grave libel, for
which it should be held duly account
able. But that 1t did this maliciously
or in any spirit of mischief is not only
not proven, but il also utterly at va
rance with that careful and conscien-
tious newspapers long record of fair
dealing. By remote chance and rare
accident the mistake occurred, and, to
the fullest possible limit Of equity,
should be atoned for: but 1t ia indie
scribably preposterous that an enlight-
ened community should approve the
absurd law which. for a subordinate's
error which he led all others in re-
GREETING. would now permit the hauling
of Mr.. Smith from a distant state and
the lodging Of him, If possible, in jail.
That the owners Of the Press should
pay reasonable damages for actual in
jury done to the victims of the papers
unfortunate mistake is one PROPOSE
ton: but that the absent editor of the
journal, the peer Of any man living in his
regard for the sanctity of private char
acter and in his endeavor to be scrupu-
lously just and fair, should be ar
raigned in criminal court as a common
felon for the blunder of one of a hun
dred fallible subordinates Is quite n
other. In the opportunity which it af-
fords for such gross perversions Of JUS
tice Is this. the Pennsylvania libel law
Is an infamy and a ~reproach.
The character Of an honest man or
OF an honest corporation is rarely
spoiled by one adverse breath. It will
be for a jury to decide whether, in the
case in question, a newspaper error,
promptly acknowledged and corrected,
inflicted $3.50. 900 worth Of loss. Our
private opinion is that If the plaintiffs
own estimates be accepted, the char
aotsr market will experience a boom.
Be that As It may. however, the bring
ing Of . criminal action against Mr..
Smith by the victims Of the Press mis-
take will. by its absurdity and manifest
injustice. do much to forfeit the SYM
patty which ordinarily pertains to
those who suffer from unjust accusa-
tions.
