Vermont boys figure in it: We no
tice by Minneapolis daily that an
important suit in the District court
relative to railroad damages received
at railroad crossing, Ringing on
the question whether the R. r. Co.,
or the municipality should be liable,
was decided by Judge Belden in favor
of the defendant-the R. r. Co. The
ground was taken by the defendants
counsel, Col. w. E. Dodge, that, mas
much as the railroad had prior ex-
istence to the street crossing, the city,
and not the r. r. Co. was responsible
for the particular damages received.
Judge Belden, is well known in Yer
montas Henry @. Belden late Of st.
Johnsbury, and Col. Dodge, as w. E.
Dodge, not many years since a school
master and law student in this coun-

The growing sentiment in favor of
cremation as a means of disposing Of
the dead has encountered a serious
obstacle in Philadelphia, where Judge
Michael Arnold, speaking as Grand
Master of the order in Pennsylvania,
has decided that funeral services over
the ashes of a cremated person do not
constitute a Christian burial under
the Masonic law. The question arose
in the case of a Mason whose earnest
desire was that his remains should be
cremated, and it is significant of Mas
onic influence, that his family decid-
ed to disregard his wishes in the mat
ter rather than violate the spirit and
ritual of the order to which he be-
longed. 1t is unfortunate for the
cause of funeral reform that crema-
ton is thus opposed by an order of
of such character and influence. The
approval of the craft would have add
ed enormously to the advance of a
commendable movement, and it's dis
approval will necessarily retard it in
equal degree.

An apparently authoritative an

An apparently authoritative an
nouncement comes from Washington
that the Administration is preparing
to levy war all along the line against
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer. 1t is not stated that the Presi
dent himself is going to take the
stump on this question, but "many of
the higher officials - in the depart
ments are to be sent out as organi-
zers and orators in different States,
and the Federal office holders gener-
ally are to be summoned to support
the new crusade. There seems to be
some Inconsistency between this
policy and that which governed the
first Cleveland Administration, when
political activity on the part of Fed
eral officials was not only condemned
but punished. AS for the President
himself, we suppose he will devote
his next animal message exclusively
to the silver question, just as he dis
cussed tariff reform alone in 1887,
when a condition-not a theory-con-
fronted the country.

The advocates Of woman's suffrage
have gained their first signal victory
in this State. It is one in which they
and the more broad minded of their
opponents may both rejoice. One does
not need to be a believer in the wis
dom of giving the ballot to women in
order to sympathize with the desire
of those who hold that doctrine for a
chance to have the question brought
before the people of New York. The
position of women in the State is one
of the most importantp problems which
modern republican government has
to solve. 1t is not subject that can
be ignored either by men or women.
1t is one to be discussed frankly and
fairly, with the concession that there
is much to be said on both sides, both
from the points of view of principle
and expediency. Therefore it is
welcome prospect that the question is
to be put in final form and come up
for decision purely on it's own merits.

The season for thunder storms IS
approaching and here are some cheer
full statistics for timid people: Since
1891 the weather bureau statistics
show that the number of persons kill
ed by storms and lightning was 7S4, a
yearly average of 1876. A record kept
at ST. Louis from 1882 to 1887 indicat-
es that the number of persons killed
by lightning was 1880, a yearly aver
age of about 200. During this period
the number of persons injured was
1892. The buildings struck and con-
sumed were 7116, making an average
loss of S1651 for each recorded light
ming stroke. The insurance companies,
during the past eight years, have sus-
tanned losses from 1915 fires caused by
lightning, involving a total loss of
more than S12,OO0,O0O. The most dam
age from lightning was on fiat land,
and the country suffered more than
cities from this peril. While the loss
of life and the destruction of proper
ty are small relatively to population
and the property exposed, the totals
n each instance reach noteworthy
proportions.

DISTRIBUTION OF MAPLE SUGAR.

The American AgricuIturjst says:
"Two features predominant in the
maple industry this year, the one the
fact that the season is apparently des-
tined to be unusually short, the other,
which is exceedingly important and
farreaching, that manufacturers are
getting more closely in touch with
consumers direct. When the merits
of strictly pure maple sweets are bet
ter known by the consuming world
the demand must increase. And SO
long as the production is as limited as
at present prices ought to do better.
With the product passing through few
hands from the sap to the table there
is less chance for adulteration.
Gin Vermont few days of the right
kind of weather will do much to has
ten the crop. @. L. Mcmahon of
Stowe says some Of the early orchards
have produced a pound of sugar to
the tree, and II days of good weather
will be ample to turn off a full average
crop. Vermont makers, as never be-
der guarantee purity label, and pric
es, while low, are held with some de-
gree Of frmness. Farmers are get
ting seven and eight cents per pound
for sugar when especially nice. East
Berkshire shipped 1000 pounds last
week at five and seven cents per
pound and 100 gallons of syrup at so
and IS cents. Many Vermont farm
ers have contracted their make at
cents per pound. The Maple Sugar
Makers association is doing much to
assist producers in securing full prices
Small quantities have been sold in
Montpelier at 10 cents. In such whole
sale places as Boston, New York and
| Chicago prime new sugar sells fairly

THE TRIUMPH OF JAPAN.
The triumph of Japan over China i

The triumph of Japan over China is
| complete, and the war ends on terms
of her own dictation. This result was
not anticipated at the beginning of
the conflict, but it was inevitable,
| nevertheless, on account of conditions
that were misunderstood by the out
side world. The numerical strength
of China has proved a singular dis
appointment in the matter of effect
i've service. Her people have not raj
lied to the support of the government
as was expected, but have regarded
the war with more of less Indifference.
This lack of popular patriotism is to
be noted as one of the principal caus-
es Of her defeat; and next to this
comes the pronounced inefficiency Of
her army. The soldiers who were
sent out to fight her battles did not
come up to the standard of raw mill
tia in other countries. They seemed
to have no heart in their cause, and
no disposition to perform brave and
worthy deeds. From first to last, they
did not win a single victory. There
were occasions when they might have
done SO, undoubtedly, if they had
manifested the proper spirit; but they
were always ready to surrender on
the first pretext, and their officers
were unable to keep them in line when
a decisive test of courage and endur-
ance was presented.
On the other hand, the Japanese
troops have conducted themselves
with marked fidelity and enthusiasm.
Their discipline has been equal to
that Of the best drilled soldiers of Eu-
rope or America, and in no emergen-
cy have they been found wanting.
They would have conquered it is easy
to believe, if the opposition had been
much more formidable. The exist
ence of such an army indicates the
right of Japan to be considered first
class nation, particularly when there
is known to be back of it a strong and
progressive government, modern
and prosperous system of industry,
and an admirable degree of general
intelligence. In no other country,
perhaps, has there ever been an equal
rate of advancement in all that goes
to constitute national welfare and in
fuence. Forty years ago, when Com
modore Perry opened Japan to the
world, it was an Oriental feudal des-
potism, ruled by tradition and super
stition, with no appearance of capaci-
ty for progress. But thirteen years
later, the present Mikado began a
crusade against the feudal system, and
finally overthrow it. Then, in 1889,
limited constitutional monarchy, an
alagous in most respects to that of
Great Britain, was established; and
since that time there has been a mar
velous development of civilization.
Schools, libraries and newspapers
have been introduced, together with
railroads, manufactures, and all the
other appliances Of comfort, profit
and happiness. The country that has
accomplished these great results in
the comparatively short period Of for
ty years certainly deserves respectful
and considerate recognition, and it's
future will be viewed with universal
interest.-G Globe Democrat.

A schooner started for West Indian
waters from New York last week on
a novel and hopeful errand-to catch
and can green turtle and pompano,
and, between times, to purchase and
preserve tropical fruits. In her
equipment was included 100000 tin
cans, with complete preserving out
fit. A chef and six assistants were
among the persons on board. Strange
that no one has before attempted
such a venture! Green turtle and
pompano are among the choicest and
costliest of edibles, and the expedi-
tioneought to prove pecuniarily very
remunerative.

The new two cent postage stamp
has been the cause of complaint on
the part of business men from the out
set on account of its inferior quality;
but it is now discovered that it has
been easily counterfeited and that
the country is flooded with remarka-
bly, skilful and accurate counterfeits.
The government has already been de-
frauded of many thousands Of dollars,
and it is believed that the only RENE
dy is the cancellation of the present
issue and the adoption of new de-

The paramount question before the
people of this country now and at this
period of each year is the question of
the crops question so important
ly political issue sinks into insignifi-
canoe. With all the growth of our
great cities and the development of
our manufactures we are still an ag-
ricultural nation. The wealth of the
country comes from the soil. The
farmer is the great producer. The
crops are the measure of the coun-
try's prosperity. We all depend more
or less directly on them and on the
toiling citizen who produces them.

cost of sugar for family use is con-
cerned, there will be no disadvantage,
as the cost of white sugar at "A and
Az is much lower than maple sugar
would be at the same price. Wheth-
er the dry season last year, and the
close winter without thaws had to do
with the short flow Of sap, we do not
know, but it stands to reason, as the
old people say, that the roots and
trees can absorb little water, sap, in
as dry fall as the last one was, and
without it there is little to fill the tree
to become saccharine and flow in the
spring time. Other causes may have
had to do with the small sap flow.

The annual Easter Monday egg roll
ing festival attracted about 5000
children and nearly as many grown
people to the White House grounds
that morning, in spite of the raw and
threatening weather and damp cold
ground. The Marine Band, which US
ually plays popular melodies on this
occasion, was absent on a tour of the
Southern States, and the customary
sports and games were not prolonged
as late as usual. Soon after noon the
crowds began to thin out materially,
their departure fastened by an i'm

The sugar season of 1895 has been
failure. So far as we can ascertain,
about pound to tree is all that has
been made in the average sugar Or
chard. This amount has hardly paid
for the work done. Many who made
a great outlay in the purchase of new
utensils will feel the effects of the
short crop seriously. So far as the
