manufactured goods which promises
an increase in the wages of the labor
er as well as profit to the manufac-
turer. Vermont and the other rural
states will soon feel the Influence Of
better times in the cities, and sunless
the dairying business is overdone so
that the supply exceeds the demand,
the price of butter and cheese vii
rise. The products have become SO
large in many sections that local pros
perity depends, almost entirely, on
whether butter sells at Is or 20 cts.
per pound. It looks as though the
price would advance during the pres
ent fall meanwhile there is better
prospect in regard to wool, beef, cat
tie, hogs. sugar, etc, and the hard
times which we have had during the
last three years must soon give way
to better things. There ought to be
an easing up in the line of dairying as
there is already an overproduction of
butter and cheese and the prices are
kept down from this fact rather than
from the inability Of the buyer to in
crease his price a few cents a pound.
There is no doubt but that within
three years the horse will have be-
come selling article, and those who
raise good horses will again receive
profit for their stock. Diversified
IA rming has been the safest in this
section, and our farmers will do we'll
to raise not only all of the food prod
ucts possible, but the pig, the sheep,
the steer and the horse. Out of the
growth of some or all of these there
will come a profit which will insure a
good degree Of prosperity.

CUBA.

Affairs in Cuba are growing more
favorable to the Cuban cause every
day. Weyler is being beaten almost
everywhere, the Cuban forces even
penetrating his strongholds. Weyler
has showed that he is totally incapa-
BILE of pacifying the island and dissat-
isfaction with him continues to in
crease in Spain, while the time is
nearing when President Mckinley
must take a decided stand on the
question. Spain has raised more
troops and 900 of them are to be
sent to Cuba, but they will be power
less to conquer the Cuban forces; the
war has cost Spain SO much in money
and men that the country is nearly
ruined and even if a different policy
were to be pursued on the island it
would be fruitless as the Insurgents
are determined to accede to no terms
but absolute independence. Spain
has hired millions of dollars, pledging
her income from Cuba in payment
and now it is hard for her to give up
from her grasp. Minister Woodford
has been presented at the Spanish
court and it is thought that the policy
of this government will soon be
shown. Many claim that it is Presi-
dent McKinley's intention to ask for
autonomy for the island but as it is
understood that the Cubans will not
give up till Spain is driven completely
out of the island it does not seem that
the president would try to have them
continue under Spanish rule. The
troops of Spain have committed many
atrocities and it is reported that the
Insurgents are now retaliating. If
this is SO it is time that the United
States took a hand in affairs as the
island should not become more of
slaughter house than it has been for
the past year. AS Spain grows weak
er on the island the Cubans grow
stronger and more hopeful every day,
and though they may not be able to
meet the Spanish forces in open bat
tie as yet, because of their small
amount of artillery, they know that
they are fast wearing Spain out and
that they have but to play waiting
game to be sure Of success.

The CALEDONIA COUNTY FAIR.

The Caledonia County Fair was
held at st. Johnsbury, Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday of last week.
The weather was cold the first day
and there was not a very large crowd,
neither did the exhibitors show up
quite as fast as usual. The exhibition
of cattle was rather small but those
exhibited We're very good; the floral
hall display was quite large and very
good, the ladies exhibiting good
number Of dainty articles. The ex
b ibition OF horses was large and some
very fine ones were shown, among
! them being some FROM the Gen. Grout
! ST ables and the Speedwell farms.
| More interest is being shown in hors-
! es at the fair than anything else and
| this is making a good horse show to
the detriment Of other things. Some
! cry good sheep were on exhibition,
S peedwell farms having large mum
Der there. The swine exhibition was
cry small, there being but very
few exhibitors. The show of poultry
was large and very good. In side
! show could be seen a pair of large OK
en- owned by j. D. Avery Of Bucks
land, Mass; a look at these cattle is
we'll worth the price of admission, as
they are we'll matched and kept in
fine condition; their weight is 1900
pounds, their girth being 10 feet; they
are of Holstein breed and fine speci-
mems of that class of cattle.
The second day of the fair the
weather was all that could be wished
for and the attendance was very large,
while all of the sheds and hitching
places were filed with teams. 1t is
reported that 1000 tickets were sold
and these, with the complimentary
tickets and others giving free admis-
sion, must have made a crowd of be-
tween eight and nine thousand.
The grand stand was packed with
people and all of the halls were full.
There were a good number Of outside
attractions and the people took adj
vantage Of them all. The captive
balloon was largely patronized and
appeared to be popular among the
visitors. The merry go round was
we'll patronized, while the trained
steers and the trained dogs afforded
some amusement. The ST. Johnsbury
band furnished music and the number
on hand to hear them as soon as they
struck up showed that they were ap~
preciated. The horse races COM
menced soon after ten o'clock and
continued through the afternoon.
There were large number of horses
entered in all the races and they were
interesting from beginning to end.

BETTER PROSPECTS.

Reports from all sections of the
country go to show that business is
much improved. The advance in the
price of wheat, caused in part by the
short crop in other countries, together
W ith the fact that the present crop is
a very large one, has added thousands,
really millions of dollars to the pock-
cts Of the farmers of wheat growing
states. Wheat growers have first felt
the influence of better times. With
the advance in wheat there has been
a smaller advance in the price of all
Their grains. Meat products have
been on the rise and cattle and hogs
have become of value, SO that the
farmers are realizing profits on their
sales The cotton crop in the South
is large and the prices rumnnerative
so that the money that will fall into
tn g hands of the cotton growers will
be enormous. Hence the grain and
co tton growing sections are already
receivngimoney sufficient to put them
above board. It is stated that the
money received for wheat alone will
very nearly cancel the mortgage in
de btedness Of some sections of the
country.
The iron industry, one of the surest
things on which to index the financial
condition of affairs, is starting up in
all sections with great vigor, and with
this all Of the kindred and dependent
industries, so that the great masses
who are miners, coal diggers and iron
workers, are all busy. many of them
with increased wages. With money
to use in the purchase of manufacture
ed articles the consumers are calling
for clothing, furniture, farming tools
and everything which is needed by
the millions who, in the last year,
hav been too poor to purchase or
unwilling to run in debt for even the
necessary things for household and
farming use. With the call for goods
the factories all over the country,
many of them idle during the past
three years, have started up, all of the
wheels and spindles are in motion;
this has given employment to the
thousands who have been out of en-
ployment and started business in To-
calities where stagnation and poverty
have prevailed.
Laborers who have been too poor
to buy will now have surplus to
spend in many lines; they will con-
sumo more Of expensive foods; they
will buy more clothing and pay out
more money in all lines, and this mon
ey will find its way into the different
lines of business. New England, which
was one of the last sections to
feel the hard times when they came
on, will not feel the boom as early as
some other sections but it is being
felt to &c rtain extent, as nearly all
of the factories are starting up and |

Arrangements are being made to
arbitrate the question in dispute be-
tween the Hawaiian Islands and Jap
an. HAWAII is very anxious to have
every point which the arbitrating
committee is to decide upon, specified
SO that there can be no mistake in any
way. 1t appears that Japan wishes
to arbitrate in such way as to allow
OF the committee deciding on whether
Hawaii has q right to exclude Japan
citizens, while Hawaii does not admit
that question to arbitration at all.
Without doubt President Mckinley
will look after the interests of the
Hawaiian as far as is needed in order
for them to resist the encroachments
of Japan, and after Congress has con-
vened again the islands may belong
to this country and it is doubtful if
japan will then try to force the issue.
powerful light-ship, carrying two
electric masthead lights, visible on
clear nights thirteen miles away, and
provided with fog siren that will

The ship will be towed to the shoal
and begin its work by October 1. It's

duty is regarded as perilous one.

Grant on the Battis Of the Wilderness
The general In chief, Grant, talked
for some time with officers Of the staff
about the results Of the battle Of the
previous days he said In this connec-
ton: "All things in this world are rela-
tive. While we were engaged in the
Wilderness could not keep from think
ing Of the first fight / ever saw-the
battle Of Palo Alto As looked at the
long line Of battle, consisting Of 5000
men, felt that General Taylor had such
O fearful responsibility resting upon him
that I wondered how he ever had the
nerve to assume il, and when, after the
fight, the casualties were reported and
the losses ascertained TO be nearly 80 in
killed, wounded. and missing, the en-
gagement assumed a magnitude in my
eyes which was positively startling.
When the news of the victory reached
the States, the windows in every house
hold were illuminated, and it was
largely instrumental in making General
Taylor president of the United States.
Now, such an affair would scarcely be
deemed important enough to report to
headquarters. 4" He little thought at
that moment that the battles then In
progress would be chiefly instrumental
in making the commander himself pres
ident of the United States. General

A Famous Palace.

"a The Chateau de Rambouillet which
is now the favorite residence Of the
president of the French republic, has a
history remote from the literary fad Of
the eighteenth century which has made
the word Rambouillet significant of an
epoch of French culture. 1t was in this
chateau that Francis i breathed his last
and Charles X was deserted in his
death. It is not generally known, how
ever, how Louis XVI became its propri-
'etor. Until 1885 Rambouillet belonged
to the Due de Penthievre, grandson of
Louis XIV and Nine. de Montespan.
Louis XVI wished very much to possess
it. This desire became fixed passion,
which was augmented by his dislike of
its owner. But one day he declared,
"The possession of Rambouillet would
be the happiness of my life" To which
the duke graciously replied: God for
bid that 1 should be the cause Of your
unhappiness. Sire, Rambouillet is yours
ON your own terms" The price fixed
was IL, 900, 900 francs, of which 6, 900, =
600 were paid the next day in gold from
the royal treasury.

WISE MASSACHUSETTS
Proposes to Gice Women the Right
Of Suffrage.

BosroN, Feb. l0.-The Legisla-
tive Committee on constitutional
amendments today voted toSfeach
an amendment to the constitution,
striking out the word "male," thus
giving the women the full right of
suffrage.
Massachusetts, is favored in hav-
ing within her borders the educa-
ticnd hub of America, and we are
very pleased to see that she is COM
ing into the light of a new civiliza-
ton.
There is nothing in the word male
that should render it any more
sacred than the word female. The
constitution of Massachusetts,
should not discriminate against one
class of citizens who are just as
good, just as intelligent and just as
heavy property owners as her here
tofore favored male citizens -
Equal and exact justice to all
with special privileges to none, !"
should be the motto Of enlightened
Massachusetts,.
The Broad Ak trusts that the
proposed amendment will carry and
that the people of our Eastern Sis
ter viii soon experience the dawn
and blessings of a better civiiza-
ton.
