A Game OF Bluff.

The extra-session cry, it is now
claimed at Washington, was first raised
by the administration democrats to
brighten hostile or Indifferent demo-
Gratis to support the Carlisle bill, and to
deter republicans from plac ,ng obsta-
cles in the way of measure favored by
the administration. What was designed
as bluff is, however, being now seri-
ously considered as necessity. There
is little likelihood that the Carlisle
measure will pass the house of repre-
sentatives in its present shape, or in
any shape; but if it passes the house,
there is no expectation that it will pass
the senate. The measure is designed,
ostensibly, to help the treasury by
checking the outflow of gold, but the
ablest fnanciers in congress are saying
that if the bill should pass at once, it
would do the treasury more harm than
good. Indeed, the bills sponsor, Sec
rotary Carlisle, admits that its passage
would not help the treasury for some
time to come, If it ever did. This is
clear enough from the fact that, of the
$500, 10000 of circulating notes which
might be used to draw gold from the
treasury, only about one-fourth of this
sum would be taken by the banks, if
they all organized at once under the
new law, as a guarantee fund for their
circulating notes. All would not re-
organize under the new law; no con-
siderable number of new banks would
be organized, and, even if the new sys-
tenn were generally accepted, long Pc
Rod of time must elapse before the
beneficial effects-if there should be
any-in their bearing upon the national
treasury could be realized. But the
real source of danger to the treasury is
the withdrawal of foreign investments
in this country, and this danger arises
from the reversal, by the party in
power, of the policy which for gener-
alton has made American securities the
object of eager search abroad But
whatever the perils the folly and bad
craftsmanship of the administration
have brought to the threshold of the
government, they must be warded off

Length Of the School Year.

Editor Of Watchm1n while it is prob
ably true, as you suggest in the WATCH.
MAN of December 20, that the statute re-
quiring towns to support schools for twenty
eight weeks In year (Which was approved
November 20) repeats, by implication, the
statute approved November 6, requiring
only twenty six weeks of school, yet its
effect on another important school law, also
Apr we'd November 6, Is far more doubtful.
This is No. 10, Acts of 1894, which amends
the I'VE per cent state scho ii tax law of
1890, as follows: " LeqdL school for the Dur-
poses Of this act shall be one which has oeen
maintained for at least t,oenty-sir toeeks dur
ing the school year" etc. This state school
tax law, No. g. Acts of 1890, provides that
the state treasurer shall divide the money
" IN proportion TO The number Of legal schools"
but that law did not state what constit tied a
illegal school" 1t was left to the state treas
urer to decide. But now a plain definition
is given, and the town and city clerks are to
return the number of illegal schools " as a
basis for the division of the money paid by
the state.
The sole object Of Act No. 10, Acts of 1894,
was to facilitate the division of the money
paid by the state among the towns. For
the purposes p" of this statute, legal
school " is one OF twenty-six weeks. 1t did
not attempt to change the length of the
school term. The object of the later act
vas different. 1t was an amendment of
W
is general. 1t increases the ,hool term by
two weeks, and makes palmer the la as to
teaching temperance. l think this /, not a
case where subsequent statute repeats by
implication a former one. The inject
matter of the one is not the same as that of
the other. 1t follows that those towns that
support schools of twenty-six weeks in a
year are entitled to their shares of the
money paid by the state under the FIVE per
cent state school tax law
The method usually adopted by this state
to compel districts to maintain schools of
the prescribed length has been to withhold
the public moneys fro those failing to
comply with the statute. This has been
for the most part effective.
There are probably many towns that will
not support schools of twenty-eight weeks,
If they can get the mon9y from the state by
supporting schools of twenty-six weeks.
Hence, it was a deplorable blunder on the
part OF the legislature in not making both
statutes agree as to the length of the school.
At all events, this question should be care
fully considered by the towns before the
next March meeting, when provision is
made for the maintenance of the sch )ols.
Every town ought to support schools at
least for twenty-eight weeks, and, while l
think under those statutes a school of
twenty-six weeks is illegal school," there
is some doubt about it, but no doubt what
ever as to school of twenty eight weeks.

role in another campaign - in states
where the income tax is popular, it
would claim TO have imposed the tax
aud would charge the republicans with
having prevented its being collected,
and in states where the tax was unpop-
ular it would point out the failure to
appropriate money to enforce the law
as its own act. Those are some of the
reasons why republicans will aid in get
ting that appropriation through, rather
than join in putting distractions in its
way"
THESpringfeld Republican announces
as matter of news that "the red clover
is the state flower of Vermont" giving
an alleged canvass Of votes and the
names of committee of ladies who,
the inference is, had something to do
with the selection. 1t is averred by the
Republican that 9,572 votes we're cast
for the red clover. 1t would be inter-
esting to examine the clover ballots in
the light of this statement. 1t is COM
monty understood that the clover had a
large majority of the votes, but that the
color was the choice of the head of the
alleged committee, and was incorporated
in the bill designating the state flower
on the strength of her ipSe dirit. The
measure was then whipped through all
the processes of legislation with a dis
patch that was quite hysterical, and
which seemed to be born of apprehen-
sion of impending danger to somebody's
pet scheme. The fact seems to be that
the white clover was generally meant
by the clover voters. AT all events,
there seemed to be no authority de-
rived from the ballots for naming the
red clover. A movement was begun,
we are informed, to reopen the matter,
but it was undertaken too late to BIOS
som out before the general assembly
adjourned. There was propriety in
choosing the white clover, which grows
spontaneously in field and pasture, on
the hills and in the valleys. The red
clover is, on the contrary, cultivated
product, large and somewhat lacking in
grace and beauty, and has little to en-
title it to the honor of IMPLYING Ver-
mont. The manner of selecting the
states emblematic flower has, we fear,
not only destroyed what little public
interest was felt in the matter, but has
awakened antagonism to the innocent
object of the hubbub. Maine is wrestling
with this mighty issue, and the New
York Sun is urging her to choose the
pine-tree cones-a felicitous selection.

THE CORY record of atrocities in the
race conflict in the South is swollen by
several recent murders in Georgia, in
which one white man and several me-
groes were victims of rifle and shot
gun. These events happened near
Quitman. The population, white and
black, was in arms, and the militia was
ordered out to maintain the peace and
prevent further bloodshed. Should the
sultan of Turkey present his compli-
ments to President Cleveland and beg
to send Turkish agent to investigate
the facts of the massacres in the south
ern states, people might not see any
large improperly in this bit of diplo-
matte tit for the United States COM
planning tat respecting the slaughter of
the Armenians. There is room at home
for investigation and the exercise of
civilizing agencies.

THE people OF Montpelier awoke last
Thursday morning to find the town buried
under nearly foot OF snow. The storm
continued throughout the day, accompanied
by a stiff northwesterly wind that raked
and cooked the newly. ALLEN heecy " in
the most approved style. Street Commits
soner Roberts was not caught mapping.
Long before day Wight he had force of men,
to ANS and snow plows at work, and, with
the assistance of the huge roller, kept the
streets and walks Of the city in as good a
condition as was possible. The hill roads
were badly dritted, and no ate npt was
made to keep them open until the storm
abated, but the embargo was raised Friday
forenoon, except in remote aud sparsely-
settled localities. The railroads centering
in Montpelier had much to contend with,
but every effort was IL ade to keep the lines
open. Trains between Montpelier and
Barre on the Central Vermont and Mont
pelier & Wells River railroads we're run
nearly on schedule time. There was no Sc
rious delay on the main line of the Mont
pelier & Wells River road, and Superin-
tendent Thompson managed to keep the
road open on his division between Mont
pelier junction and Wiliamstown. The
main line OF the Central Vermont was not
80 fortunate, as the storm south Of Mont
pelier was much heavier than it was at
points farther north. The veteran engineer,
Tommy Buck was seen at Montpelier
Junction "a train SO, due at the junction at
1925 in the morning, pulled in over two
hours late and his statement that he never
came over Roxbury heights in a worse day
could we'll be believed after glancing at his
engine and the train it was pulling. The
noon express from the north on Thursday,
due at Montpelier Junction at 1875, did
not reach there until nearly four O'Clock,
and the mail from the south that afternoon
was several hours late, due largely, how
ever to delayed connections at White
River Junction. During Thursday night
the lines were cleared, the sidetracked
freight trains were sent trundling and the
passenger trains got back to schedule time.

A Fortunate Discovery.
PROF. FARRAND SAID TO HAVE FOUND Posi-
TIVE CURE FOR ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER.

Among the few really eminent botanists
OF America, Prof. Farrand of.Vermont easily
stands in the front rank, and discovery
that he has recently made will do much to
add to his fame. In his journeys to differ
emit parts of the country to gather medicinal
herbs, roots and barks for the leading
American and European pharmacists, he
has naturally spent much time in the Adj
rondack regions, that health-giviag resort
for consumptives, estimates, and all suf-
ferers from respiratory diseases. Here hay
fever is unknown, estimates breathe
freely, aud even consumptives conquer
their racking cough in the bracing forest air.
Prof. Farrand became impresse with the
idea that the herbs and leaves which fill
the Adirondack air with aromatic healing
could be gathered by him and sent to the
homes OF sufferers, who cannot afford the
time or money to go away His great
botani ,al knowledge and practical acquaint-
ance with the medicinal values of all plants
peculiarly fitted him for his task.
He found happy combination that gave
the peculiar fragrance OF thu Adirondack
woods, and samples were sent to various
scientists and leading physicians, the Pro-
lessor calling it the Adirondack Asthma
Cure. Seventy .thr 20 per cent of the cases
in which it was used, some OF them SEEM
ingly hopeless, reported cure, while in all
the others great benefit was derived.
The different herbs aud banks hat are
used by Prof Farrand in the Adirondack
Asthma Curs have to be gathered at Ger Jain
seasons OF the year, when their medicinal
value is at its height and he was able TO get
but limited Mount. AS long as this
quantity lasts it is offered to the public
generally by the DIR. Howard Co. OF Bur-
lington, Vt, who will mail large sized box
for fifty cents. They do not want pay from
those whom this preparation does not cure,
and will ,turn the money to any whom the
Adirondack As lima Cure fails to benefit.
One Of the peculiar advantages OF this cure
which will make it seem godsend to the
asthmatic or hay fever sufferer, is that the
user awakes as refreshed and bright in
the morning as is he had actually slept in
