Has q Suspicious Look.

Two or three papers with Grouty predi-
lections are insinuating that neither Grout
nor Stickney can get the gubernatorial
nomination, but that some third man, like
II. A. Fletcher of Cavendish or w. E.
johnson of Woodstock, will come in as
dark horses" and bag the prize. One
paper has gone SO far as to say that Wind
sor county now has two candidates, Stick
ney and Fletcher. Due allowance should
be made for all such statements; they
come from suspicious source and have
the sound Of tinkling cymbal. 1t is
another subterfuge Of the enemy to
divide the Stickney forces. Lieut.. Gov.
Fletcher is too true Republican, too loyal
a son of Windsor to allow the use of his
name for any such purpose. Windsor
county will 60 into the convention with a
solid and enthusiastic delegation for her
honored citizen, w. w. Stickncy, Of Lud-
low.

The Money Question.

The financial problem now confronting
this country is momentous one. Ex-
tremists on the one hand demand the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio of 16 to l.,
and on the other hand an absolute gold
standard. Between these extremes is the
great body of the American people favor
ing well regulated system of bimetalism.
Extremes are found in both the democratic
and Republican parties, but we be-
lieve that it will be shown ultimately
that the democratic party as whole
favors free silver and the Republican party
bimetalism.
Careful figuring shows that the demo-
cratic national convention will be composed
of $40 delegates, and the following states
are all that can be safely counted upon to
stand firmly for a sound money platform:

More About Historical Blunders.

The PhOenlx'S famous nominating speeci
has caused the Grout organs no little
trouble and annoyance. 1t has caused
confusion and dismay in the ranks, and
the Grout supporters are hustling more
than ever to befog the public mind and dis
tract public attention from the real issue
the existence OF political ring and a slate
that has stood for several years in the past
and extends several years into the future,
Speaking of this famous speech the Re-
former says: cit is safe to say that Or
leans county will present no such argument
because its delegates will contain no such
ignoramus as the Phoenix, that does no,
know that Samuel Crafts OF Craitsbury, ono
Of the most scholarly governors the state
ever had, leader in some of the most ex-
citing times in our state politics and a rep
resentative and senator in congress as well
as governor, was an Orleans county man.
When Major Grout comes to pick men to
act as his spokesmen in convention he will
seek those that know more than some
newspaper advocates Of his"
The Phoenix bobbing up serenely says
eff the Phoenix had said, or intimated,
last week, in speaking of the gubernatorial
question, that Orleans county has never
had governor since the Republican party
came into existence, and political lines
were adjusted as they now are, nor fol
twenty-five years before that, it would have
been historically correct" A fatal eff; on
this little word many important epochs in
history have turned.
And why should the Phoenix, paper
printed in the southern part of the state,
go to Canada line for a governor? Simply
because it is trying in feeble way to fur
ther the plans and ambitions of few Brat
tleboro politicians. But then this paper
ceased sometime since to represent the
sentiment of this county in matters politi-
cal. 1t championed the candidacy of Reed
and its own town caucus went back on its
position more than four to one; while in
the county at least seven in every ten Of
the voters favor Mckinley. Its espousal
of Grouts cause is doomed to like felici-
tous fruition.
By the way, why is it that the Grout or
gans throughout the state with very few
exceptions also favor Reed? 1t is part
of the general scheme; it is conspiracy OF
the bosses against an untrammelled expires,
sion of preference on the part of the peo-
pie. 1t is an undisputed fact that the
bosses are against Mckinley, but also a
fact that the people are against the bosses.
In Vermont the bosses are against Stick
ney, not for personal reasons but because
he has disturbed their plans. He had the
arrogance and presumption to aspire to an
office that had been booked for another
man. This has made fearful muddle
and the gray-bearded youths in politics
who have waited, 10 these many moons for
their turn to come, know not where they
are at But in this case as in the ease OF
Mckinley the people are against the bosses
and take keen delight in their discom,
future. The voters themselves propose to
name a governor this time.

Mckinley In the State Convention.

The Republican state. convention to
elect delegates to St. Louis is in session in
Montpelier to-day. 1t is more than prob
able that majority of the convention favor
Mckinley, but there seems to be a strong
sentiment against lnstructing the delegates.
However an expression of preference as
between Reed and Mckinley may be given,
and such an expression would be very
proper. If the people of Vermont want
Mckinley for the next president the St.
Louis delegates should know their prefer
ence and from no uncertain source

Weeds and Good Farmln3.

Occasionally farmer is heard to
ask how the weeds can be killed, but
he does not realize that If by some
rapid progress they could all be dis
patched new legions would fill their
places at once ii the conditions which
they enjoy remain. What farmers need
to comprehend is that without some
radical mistake in the management of
their land the daisies would never
have gained such foothold. All
plants, including weeds, settle and
thrive where the competition for life
is such that they can enter it and pros
per. A good stand Of grass leaves no
room nor any hope for weeds. 1t is
not in we'll titled fields that Canadian
thistles flourish, but in neglected pas
lures and by the roadsides. In the
contest with the best agricultural prac-
tice they cannot prevail. The remedy
for weeds is to keep the land busy
with good crop on it, and this means
that the farmer must give persistent
and connected thought to his business.
If the daisies crowd out the grass it is
because the meadow has been neg
lected and the grass has begun to fail,
and wherever there is a vacancy by
the failure Of the grass every enter
prising weed finds a rightful oppor-
tunity to establish itself If the farm
er asks, therefore, what will kill the
daisies there is one answer-better
farming.

Sound Dairy Talk.

Suppose that a Woodworking farmer,
says the Rural New Yorker, were call.
ed upon to provide for four or five
strong, able bodied persons who did
not do enough work to pay for their
board. There would be trouble on that
farm right away. and justly so. for
both sense and Scripture proclaim that
the man who will not work shall not
eat. Yet many farmer, who would
quickly turn loafers away from his own
Ilble, will tolerate worse loafers out
IN his barn. 1t is safe to say, that
IN most dairy herds, there are four or
live cows that do not pay for the food
they consume-to say nothing Of the
space they occupy, and the labor ex-
pended in caring for them. The rea-
son they stay, year after year, thus eat
ing up the farm profits. is thu the
farmer is deceived, because he has no
means Of knowing which of his cows
are robbers. It is easy to pick out the
human loafer, because his individual
acts stand for themselves; but where
the work of the cows is Jumped to-
gether, the individual fraud ESCAPES.
Testers and scales are the two de-
tectives needed to pick out the robber
cows. Leave out the loafers.
