expected, anyhow, in summer, so for
model. Here it is in this picture snug
ly buttoned. but opening when desired
along the right side. Its material was
that of the dress sllirt-mordore cloth,
and bands of cream cloth richly en-
broidered in mordore silk trimmed it.
In outline the general scheme of this
dress was extremely simple, yet its eff
feet was quite ornate.
Although shirt waists are worn by
almost every woman in the land, as
they deserve to be, there is little new in
them. Sleeves are smaller than they
were a year ago, but are still roomy
enough, and the tucks on the newest
sorts run across rather than UP and
down. That about covers the changes.
AS to materials, bingham checks and
large Powered stuffs are the newest
and the tendency is toward a deal Of
trimming-too much of it if comfort is
to be the chief consideration as it once
was.
Summer night dresses of silk are
much cooler than the sheerest lawn,
and almost all the prettiest ones are

and there are no armholes, the sleeves
starting from the neck band which is
set low on the shoulder. This cut
makes a most becoming effect about
the neck and is so simple than any
seamstress can copy It, Night dresses
are made so long that they trail on the
floor, and nothing is more awkward
than a short night robe. For very
slender figures the empire gown is
charming, and is made with a drawn
ribbon under the bust. When made
with sleeves entirely loose from the
shoulders an increase of ease and

Ex-Governor Connell, Of Idaho.
thinks the west has seen it's best
days, and he gives some impressive
reasons for thinking so, as follows:
In my opinion the West will never see
an era of prosperity like that which
prevailed from 1870 to 1890. Here were
two decades of growth and develop
ament, the like of which never occurred
before in any country on earth. The
truth is that the American people have
been prodigals of the worst sort, and
in the West they have squandered their
patrimony by disposing of the lands
given them by a generous govern
ment. They have parted with their
lands, spent their money, and now the
government has nothing else to donate.
1t is easy enough to see things after
they have happened, but our people
in the flush days never seemed to look
into the future, but imagined that pros
perity would last forever. They have
awakened to a realization of things
as they are, and now perceive that to
make even a bare living requires hard
toll and strict economy.

Prog RESS IN NORTH & CAROLINA


The people of North Carolina are be-
ginning to discover that illiteracy will
not boom their State. In a list Of
States North Carolina stands third
from the bottom In the matter of illit-
eracy. The constitution provides for a
school term of four months, but in
many rural districts the term is only
six weeks, and in some instances the
money available does not secure first
class teachers In those townships hav-
ing a four-months' term an unwise
economy is often practised by crowding
too many children into small rooms,
and expecting one teacher to do the
work that 1t requires two to do. There
remedy these radical defects. Under
an incentive in legislative act where
by the State is pledged to give to each
township or school district a share in
an appropriation of $4,000, conditional
on like amount being raised by the
district and the town, and with prompt
ings by the State Teachers association
and the press, an energetic campaign
is being waged in the interest of in
creased school taxes. In every town
ship in the State not now levying a
special tax for schools, a vote will be
taken in August on this question, and
also on a proposition for the lengthen-
ing of the school term. Urging the i'm
portance of the matter, the Raleigh
News and Observer says: Every
township that votes for a tax for bet
ter schools and longer terms takes a
step forward that will be seen and felt
by this and future generations. The
burden of taxation in these hard times
may be heavy but it is wiser to bear it
for a few years to make better condi-
lions than to continue to let the chill
dren grow up in ignorance and the
State to drift on in helpless and sordid
poverty"

OUR RIGHT AND OUR DUTY.

There is no war scare in President
McKinley's long anticipated Cuban
message.
AS it went to Congress recently it
was brief, simple, straightforward
document, reciting the fact as estab-
lished by consular reports that six or
eight hundred American citizens are
destitute and starving in the Cuban
towns where they have been shut up
by Weyler's orders, and recommend
ing an appropriation of not less than
$50, 200 for their relief. Senator Gal
linger's resolution carrying out the
purpose of the message was prompt
ly passed by the Senate, and a similar
measure offered by Mr.. Hit in the
House of representatives.
The Presidents message does not
touch the point at issue between
Spain and Cuba. 1t involves no in
ternational complications whatso-
ever. 1t contemplates merely the
rescue of men and women, our own
kin, from the misery into which a
devastating war has thrown them.
Our government is under solemn
obligations to them to do this. 1t has
a perfect right to do it, and it has
perfect right to insist that Spain shall
not obstruct our efforts to succor
these unfortunates.
President Mckinley no sooner sees
his duty than he unhesitatingly per-
forms it. What may be his next step
nobody can tell, but the country may
rest assured that he will be just as
sure of his facts, his responsibility

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President McKinley's message to
Congress last week may not have
been Just what was expected'and hop
ed for by some, as he did not in any
way state his position on the Cuban
question, but simply stated that there
was a large number of suffering
Americans there and asking Congress
to appropriate $4,000 to be used to
alleviate their wants, and also to be
used in paying for the transportation
of any of those desiring to return to
this country. The message was in
tended to help the suffering ones
there and left the question of ac-
knowledging the belligerency of the
insurgents to be looked after at a
later date. That the president is
right cannot be denied; he has a
special representative there looking
up the present condition of the is
land and when he hears from him he
will be prepared to act with some
knowledge of affairs. But without
doubt there is much suffering on the
island which should be looked after
Immediately and for which the ap-
preparation asked for by the presi-
dent will do for the present. The
Democrats in the House who at
tempted to tack on the Morgan
resolutions to the appropriation bill
found that they were not supported
by the people of the country, who
though anxious to see the govern
ment acknowledge the insurgents, are
willing the president should go on as
he has started and are not anxious to
crowd him into some position from
which no good can come to either
this country or any other.

A great deal has been said about
Chapman, the broker who has just
been sent to Jail for thirty days for re-
fusing to answer the questions put to
him by the Senate investigating COM
mittee. If after he has served his
sentence out he is allowed to go free
then the object for which he was sent
to prison will not have been attained.
He should be followed up and if he re-
fuses to reply to the questions sent up
for another thirty days and continue
it till he will answer to the Senators
questions. But this will not be done,
after he has served his sentence he
will be allowed to go on with his busi-
ness as before and his imprisonment,
instead of being the means of stop
ping the work which caused it, will
only help to keep it up.

result. Aside from a senseless and
ungrounded prejudice, there is no rea-
SON why Great Britain should refuse
this cooperation.
Not much is anticipated, however,
from Mr.. Fosters visit to England,
though it is possible that he may be
able to remove some of the misunder-
standings which befog the British Of
fetal mind. From England Mr.. Fos-
ter will go to st. Petersburg, where
there seems to be good reason to an
ticipate success. The sealing ques-
ton is looked upon somewhat differ
emily there. In Japan, also, especial
ly if an arrangement is previously
made with Russia, success is probable.
All these negotiations require time,
and look forward to permanent ad-
justment of the question. In the
meantime, the duty of preventing in
discriminate slaughter of the seals
this summer is urgent, and the United
States government, this year as last,
will do what it may with it's revenue
cutters.-Jour7ldL.

4 DIFFICULT MISSION.

1t is a difficult mission on which
Mr.. John W. Foster, former Secretary
of State, is about sailing to Europe;
and it is fortunate that President Nc
Kinley had at his command diploma
tist of such large experience and
varied resources.
Mr.. Foster bears special commits
sion and full powers to negotiate
treaties with Great Britain, Russia
and Japan, for the protection of the
seal fisheries. The most difficult part
of his mission, that Of negotiating
with Great Britain, he will undertake
first. The special difficulty inherent
in this branch of the matter is largely
artificial. 1t has been created in part
by the pressure of Canadian sealing
interests, and in part by vindictive
Misrepresentation of the United
States. The attitude of this country
in the matter of is frank and perfectly
Ineligible. 1t has accepted fully the
decision of the Paris tribunal, al
though it negatived claims which
were believed to be we'll founded, and
which were made in good faith. 1t
intends to meet all it's responsibilities
under that decision, and will pay to
the last dollar whatever sum may be
agreed upon as damages to the own
ers of foreign vessels. But it desires
to secure the perpetuation of seal life.
which was indeed one of the objects
which the Paris tribunal had chiefly
in view; and it seeks the effective CO.
operation of the other nations con-
cerned in measures for securing this

Great Britain has no reason to find
fault with the operation of the ''free
ship" policy-as practised by other
nations.
To this extent and to this extent
only bave the other countries of the
world caught the free trade bait
which England adroitly threw out in
1916, that they permit the free enroll
ment under their flag of vessels built
in British shipyards. Last year
large proportion of new tonnage
launched in Great Britain was built
for foreign orders. Germany took 80
vessels of III 800 tons; Russia % of
"a, ,524 tons; Norway, %, 1903 tons, and
Denmark and Japan, with about a.,
900 tons each. OF these nations only
Germany has native shipbuilding
industry worthy of the name, and the
Germans owe this chiefly to the fact
that their subsidized steamers are re-
quired to be built in home yards in
order to be eligible to receive the
government subventions.

It is gratifying to note the fact of
there being a quarter of million in
vested in new enterprises during a
period of such depression and that
newiindustries have been introduced
into so many of the towns of the
State The less amount invested in
1896 as compared with previous years
is largely due to the fact that nearly
all of the new business reported has
been small plants. The number of
different industries undertaken dur
ing 1896 compares favorably with
other years.
We have received reports of the
summer travel for 1896 from ITO
hotels and summer homes. This is
less than one-half of the number who
have a free advertisement in the
book, "Vermont Farms and Summer
Houses.'' Surely all who receive
benefit from State advertising should
be willing to assist in collecting the
statistics to the extent of answering a
few questions. The report shows
that the 110 summer hotels and homes
entertained Sc, ,502 persons and re-
ceived $207,7 for board and S15,-
983.50 for livery. If we could get the
reports from all the hotels and
houses it would make a very good
showing for this class of BUSINESS.
Thirty two report business as an
average with other years; thirty
three that it was better, and forty
four TN at it was poorer.

VERMONT STATISTICS FOR 1896.

F. @. Williams, assistant secretary
of the State board of agriculture,
makes the following report of farm
sales, new industries and summer
travel in Vermont during 1896.
Reports received from the town
clerks of 223 towns in the State, show
that there have been sold between
Jan. 1st, 1896 and Jan. 1st, 1897, 1867
farms. ITO of these farms were not
occupied at the time of sale. The
farms sold are distributed as follows:

The navy department is having a
great amount of trouble to secure
ships TO carry the contributions of
grain from this country to India,
and at last it has decided to ask Con-
gress to amend the resolution by
which they are now governed. This
resolution requires the grain to be
carried in an American vessel, and
as there is but few American steam
ers outside of the regular liners the
department cannot very well follow
out these directions.

UnOccupied.

The number Of farms sold is less
than for any year since these statis-
ties have been gathered, but the
prices are probably about the same
as were received in 1895. It seems
hardly possible that prices for farms
can GO much lower. Good farms can
be purchased in almost any part of
the State for small price in COM
parison with what these same farms
would have cost few years ago. The
year 1895 was hard year for farmers,
but the one just passed has brought
lower prices for farm products than
any year for a long time. And, while
crops have been abundant, the reve-
there is much less complaining than
