Skunk Business Looking Up.

The skunk business is looking up
again. There was temporary de-
depression in that lively and fascin-
ating business, owing to the dictates
of fashion. and for time Eliakim
Torrey of Yates county, n. v, the
only original skunk farm man on the
block, seriously thought of blowing
up his skunks and starting in on rye
or potatoes.
But Just before he had executed
the desperate resolve, the artful mink
Fashion decreed that furs should be
worn more than ever before, and,
figurativcly speaking, transferred
Alaska to the temperate zone again.
Then Eliakim seeded down his
rich pastures with skunk furs once
more, and now the neighbors pass by
on the other side.
Now comes word from Vermont
that the polecat business is going to
take another squirt, and that the free
skunks of the United States have got
to compete with the pauper animals
of Canada.

polecats on the hoof, and the latter

After all the fighting talk by en-
citable and windy Legislators and
the passage of resolutions by both
branches of Congress declaring that
the Cubans are entitled to belligerent
rights, enthusiasm has cooled and
things are calmer at the capital of
the nation. The resolutions arc not
compulsory, and they will be ignored
by the President. While the SYM
pathy of every American is with the
Cubans in their determined struggle
for freedom, there is some question
as to whether the time for recognize
ing their independence has arrived.
They have provisinal government,
it is true. but it is confined to the
mountain regions held by the III
slrgents. The Cubans have no es-
tablishcd government, military or
civil, no executive, and recognition
of them now would be breach of
international law, for which the cN-
citable statesmen at Washington seem
to have little regard. The conditions
prevailing last December are much
the same now, when in his annual
message to Congress President Clevc-
land said:
"Whatcver may be the traditional
sympathy of our countrymen as i'll
dividuals with people who seem to
be struggling for Il larger autonomy
and greater freedom, dcepened by
such sympathy naturally must be IN
behalf of our neighbors, yet the plain
duty of their government is to OBJ
serve in good faith the recognized
obligations of international relation
ship. The performance of this duty
should not be made more difficult by
disregard on the part of our citi-
zens of the obligations growing out
of their allegiance to their country,
which should restrain them from VI
olating as individuals the neutrality
which the nation of which they are
members is bound to observe in its
relations to friendly sovereign states.

The Mortified News rushes to the
defence of the maladministration of
state affairs with what it expects to
be a sufficient answer, in the Repub-

Democratic administration piling up
the country's dcbt'-bccausc taxes
have been decreased-"the talk OF
increased state expenditures in Yer

crcasing the taxes of an overbur'

The Democrats carried the city of
Rutland Tuesday for the first time in

have been due to the extravaganza

Two Young Men Drowned.

A sad drowning accident occurred
near Fair Haven Sunday afternoon,
resulting in the death of two young
men. About I.3o O'Clock Walter
and William Rousseau started with
a team with the intention of crossing
Castleton River near what is known
as "Sclota." When the young men
were halfway through the overflowed
section of the road the force of the
water upset the buggy and the occu-
pants were thrown into the current.
Edwin O'Rouk saw the accident, but
before he could give assistance the
young men were dead. The horses
freed themselves from the buggy and
finally reached shore.

FelcnvIIte.

The recent rain storm, which lasted
for about forty-cight hours, caused
the sun to disappear and the streams
to rise rapidly. AT the Blood bridge,
just above the village, and at the
Stewart bridge, just below the vii
lage, the road was filled with ice on
Sunday. Saturday O. E. Sherwin,
on his return trip from Windsor,
upon reaching the first covered bridge
this side of the Narrows, found the
road SO filled with ice and water that
he was obliged to return to Windsor
with his stage and come over the
