The Central Vermont has not yet
gone under the control OF the Grand
Trunk. Furthermore, it is strongly
limited that it will be many a moon be-
fore it will, it, indeed, it ever does.
The recent action of the bondhoiderS is
not final by any means Less than a
third of the bonds were voted in favor
of the step. Another meeting might
have a very different result In any
event there are other interests to be
settled with and the courts will have
to be consulted before the receiycrship
ends. Vermonters can rest assured
that the railroad will not be turned
over to this foreign concern until every
method has failed to retain it for the
primary benefit of our own people.
And if the Grand Trunk should i'm the
end secure it. being aware of the feel
ing that exists in Vermont which would
certainly affect legislation, the new
control could not afford to do anything
in any considerable degree detrimental
to the interests Of our own people. In
stead Of being at their mercy they
would be at ours.

The notorious Mrs. Craven, a prin-
Francisco, is under suspension for in
quiry into her conduct one evening two
weeks ago. This is a small matter
compared to the rank and raw action
of the Board of Education in retaining
at the head of a leading school wo-
man who boldly makes the claim OF
having been the secret contract wife
of the late Senator Fair. If that claim
is made good then she should not re-
main in the department because OF
her open confession that while a teach
er she posed as an unmarried woman,
while all the time the wife of Fair.
If the claim is not made good, then
she has been guilty of a shameful fraud
and should be retired. Pending the
prosecution of such a claim she should
not be at the head of a public school
because of the notOriety of the cases
which have brought her into court and
upon the witness stand where her We
racfty is assailed. In any view of the
case, therefore, Mrs. Craven should
have been required long ago to aban-
don the position of a teacher of youth.
The influence upon the children under
her control while she is so notorious
in the matter of the Fair cases cannot
be otherwise than bad That a Board
of Education should have retained a
person in such a position under such
circumstances is not at all creditable
to the school system. It is very little
short of outrageous, and is unquestion-
ably disgraceful and demoralizing.

Argentina is unfortunate in climatic

The acreage Of wheat for the coming

this is why Iconsider Argentina no longer
a competitor in the wheat trade with the
United States. Those who have hitherto
obtained wheat through Buenos Ayres
will have to get it, this year at least,
from American ports. The Argentine
Republic cannot be depended on as a
sure wheat producer.
This state of facts treads heavily upon
the toes Of the theories of the silverites
concerning the relation of prices for the
white metal and for wheat. 1t goes in
the direction of proof that the supposed
relation is not intimate, as has been
claimed. but is liable to disruption and
reversal by causes lying wholly outside
OF the financial problem.

AMERICAN WHEAT FOR ARGEN-

The wheat crop of the La Plata basin
was a failure for 1896. AS a result the
Argentine Republic and Brazil have had
to call upon the United States for wheat,
and the first order was for seed of the
best grade. Recently two shiploads of
cisco harbor. This was a strange move
ment of the staple. 1t signifies that the
Argentine Republic is not so formidable
a competitor of the United States in the
wheat markets of the world as has been
supposed and argued.
There are climatic and pest conditions
in that land that menace the certainty
Of a crop. Brazil relies mainly upon her
neighboring republic for the staple, and
with the failure in that direction she
turns naturally to the United States.
She will feel therefore that it will not do
