A.F2rSE PREDICTION.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
BraLtleboro Retormer, copies from
the Montpelier Argus, with the ap-
proving remark that the Argus gen.
orally knows what is going on inside
of Republican lines, the following
piece of transformations
"The Montpelier Argus, which is
very apt to know Republican secrets,
announces the Gubprna1 orial pro-
gramme for the next six years. 1t is
Josiah Grout this year, F. Stewart
Stranahan of st. Adams in 1898,
and q. M. Mansur of Island Pond
in 1900"
How much better it would beifpeo-
pie could only realize the force OF the
homely adage that cit is much better
not to know so much than it is to
know so much that is not true"
The Republicans of Vermont willnot,
in this decade at least, return to the
practice of nominating its Lieut.
Governors for Governor. Up to the
time when Proctor broke the former
practice of shelving Lieut.. Cover
nors'' there had been, we believe, but
three promotions from Lieut.. Cover
nor to Governor in the history of the
State; but the practice once inaugu-
rated by Proctor, was adopted as a
precedent, and after a time the
Lieut.. Governor who was not pro-
NOTED came to feel that he had been
abused because he had not been used
as well as his predecessors, and so a
bad practice once begun was keptup.
But the Republicans of Vermont dis
approve of this idea of promotion,
and we predict that aspirants for the
Lieut. Governorship will nothereafter
be permitted to make this position a
stepping-stone to the higher office.
There is sort of piggishness about
wanting the earth that doesn't strike
the average man favorably. Special
reasons will always be considered
while the State will not make any
iron cad-rule not to promote in
special cases, it will insist that the
ambitious young Vermonter who as
pires to the title of Governor"
must decide in advance which posi-
ton he is competent to fill and enter
the lists either for the first or second
place, and having received one of
them, be Herewith content.
Lieut. Governors Stranahan and
Mansur are both excellent men, bnt
they have been duly honored and we
believe they will now stand aside and
allow Others, equally worthy and

Seeds for the Farmers.

ing it compulsory for the secretary of
agriculture to buy and distribute val
liable seeds for the year 1896, as has
been done in preceding years. He is
to procure the seed by open purchase
or contract, and shall not pay more
for them than a reasonable and fair
price. In debate on this subject

\ Real Elastic Currency.

The advocates of d return TO wild
cat banking use as one oftheir strong
est arguments The claim that it would
afford an elastic currency. These
may b. interested to learn that the
mint officials, or whatever they call
them, down on the Malay peninsula
are turning out a currency which can
give the state bank money many
points in the way of natural elastic
ity. The Malayan cash is made of a
compound OF boIa gum and emery
sand, and it is "cOined" at a very
small! expenditure of time and labor.
The cheap money advocates should
look into the bOla gum coin, for it
appears TO meet every condition they
make. 1t is even cheaper than paper
promises to pay, it is naturally elias,
Iic, and there is no limit to the
amount of it which can he turned
out. Moreover, it resembles wildcat
money in another important particu-
lar. Its exchange value is about as
small as that of anv currency in the
world, except the African shell cash
A good American cent would be ac-
cepred as the equivalent CT at least
10 600 freshly minted bola gum
coins. SO it seems that it is as
worthless as wildcat currency, and
therefore should be an ideal form Of
cash, in the opinion of the cheap
money crowd. Up to date the gum
coin is the only genuinely elastic cur
reucy.

Easter Sunday this year falls on
April 5. The establishment of the
Christian festival of Easter, typical
of the resurrection OF the Lord, was
matter of much controversy in the
church for centuries, but was finally
established by the Gregorian calendar
adopted by the Roman church
in 1852, and Easter is always the
the first Sunday after the full moon
which happens upon or next after
March 81, which date is the beginning
OF the ecclesiastical year. Therefore
the earliest date upon which Easter
may occur is March %. If the full
moon should fall on March 81, Eas-
ter is the following Sunday. The
latest date upon which the festival
may fall is April %. In 1861 and
1918 Easter fell on March %, but
that will not occur again in this or
the next century. In 1886 it fell on
April 20 and will do soagain in 913.

leads on oats, potatoes, bay and
huckwheat, while Massachusetts leads
the list on rye. The corn crop was
the largest in l6 years, while the av-
erage price is the lowest in the same
period. The wheat crop was less than
usual and the price lower, There
were no oats during the last yearand
the price was ten cents lower per
bushel. The barley acreage exceeded
any previous year, while the buck
wheat crop was the smallest since
1879. The average farm price of
corn, rye, oats, barley, huckwheat
and potatoes was lower than in 1895
and Tor the previous Is years, and in
no year since 1880 was corn so low
as in 1895 The potato crop of 1895
was unprecedented in magnitude and
