The declaration CT financial principles

unfounded assertions. Its alleged state.
ment of facts has frequently been
shown to be untrue but in spite of this
they were deliberately Endorsed by

raised at Chicago will be used TO rally
all the forces Of silverism, fiatism, cur
rency debasement and debt reputation,
it becomes necessary to refute once more

Oh the railroads of the country carrying
the mail OF other roads. IL has been the
custom for all mail containing railway
business to be carried by the different
roads az far as necessary and the custom
or right, as it came to be, was so abused
by employees using the privilege for pri-
vate correspondence that the govern
ment had to step in and put an end to it,.
No restriction ia placed on any road car

ials OF one road desiring to communicate

TO Officers and Employees:
Hereafter no mail matter addressed to
officers or employees OF any other rail-
road companies than the above shall be
sent through the railway mail. All such
matter must be sent through the United

Letters or mail matter sent by train
mail must be confined strictly TO the bus
ness OF this company.
Baggagemen and station agents must

cept the same be addressed to officers or

figured on as never before.

The first annual celebration under the

was grand success. Perfect weather
favored the event and it being such IA day
when one seeks cool place to recreate
in, the Hancock grove was "a very ap-
propriate place in which to hold the pro-
gram of the day and to spend a perfect
evening at the close of it.
Hancock put on her holiday clothes
early In the day aud by the time the Wis
iting courts arrived Quincy street was
gay with decorations. Courts Rene Mes
nard and Pride of Hancock met the Lake
Linden and Calumet brothers at the
trains and at about 3 o'clock the parade
passed through Quincy street, from end
to end, and on to the grove. The parade
was one of the largest, if not the largest,
OF any society celebration this season. 1t
moved az follows:
Lake Linden Band.
Court Golden Eagle.

At the grove the principal address OF
the day was made by James 7. Little, OF

Short speeches were also made by local
Foresters, all dwelling on the order and
its interests and good work. Alex Con

walking and tug-of.war was contested
by teams from the two Hancock courts.
There was some doubt as to the winner
OF this and the judges took it under adj

into staying at home this summer on the
plea OF economy.
Vermonters should not lose sight of
the great advantages which lie in the
iudicious advertising of the resources Of
their State, nor should they spare any
reasonable expense to bring Its attrac
tions 10 public notice.
With an Increase of outside visitors
must necessarily come better roads, bet
ter hotel accommodation, better tele-
graph, telephone, express and perhaps
in some instances, improved railroad IA
cilities. The city visitors must find as
many of his home comforts and advan-
tages as it is possible TO provide for him,
or he will go elsewhere. He wants the
quiet and the seclusion of our hills and
valleys. but he wants at any moment to
step out of a wood or green field to a
telegraph office or "A railroad station, be
cause he has left important business
cares at home. He wants the dreamy
solitude of our shady glens and the quiet
companionship of tinkling brooks, but he
wants his daily papers to read TOO.
Advertising is not the only thing YER
monters must do, therefore, to encourage
summer travel. We have plenty of
natural scenic beauty. Nature needs no
touching up here But it seems as
though the real object of the Vermonter
should be to combine the natural beau
ties and resources of his State with the
convenience of city life, TO blend the
rural with the urban so adroitly that
the better parts of both will instantly be
at hand. Then the city boarder will
not soon be homesick tor the little no.
tions that are so much part of his
daily life, nor will he tire of the mOnot-
Ony of rural simplicity.
The NermOnter, if he does all this. can
naturally expect TO make something out
of it beside the actual cash in hand at the
end of the season. Not only will his
stock in trade improve from year to wear,
but he will find that his own comfort and
enjoyment will be increased by the con-
venience he has provided for his guests.
Good roads will be here after the city Wis
itors have gone, and so will the hotels,
telegraph offices and railway stations.
once the rural Vermonter learns to use
the facilities which his boarders enjoy, he
will never give them up.
City visitors can bring more into YER
mont than money, if they are only en-
couraged to come. Ihey can bring new
ideas, open up remote parts of our State
to better appreciation of the world out
side, and gradually bring Vermonters
into closer touch than ever with the
country at large. The farmer will learn
from the city man, even as the city man
learns of the farmer; the interchange of
thought and experience will benefit both,
and leave our people here broader and
more liberal than ever in their mental
vision.
The farmers children will grow up to
greater advantages than their parents
ever had, and, more than that, Vermont
ers will be happier because they have
shared with their neighbors the delights
of life in the most beautiful region that
nature ever designed for the habitation
of mankind.-[S Albans Messenger.
