THE PICKLlNG SEASON IN VERMONT
Brattleboro Jelly Company is Receiving
Thousands Of Cucumbers.

The success OF the Brattleboro Jelly
company is shown by a statement made
In the columns of the Phoenix which says
the company began its picking season
with prospects of a better season than
there has been for several years. About
100000 cucumbers were brought in by the
farmers during the week The crop this
year Is an especially good one and as the
farmers are devoting more of their land
to the culture of cucumbers, 1t will be
larger than ever before.
Vernon supplies the factory with more
cucumbers than any other town, although
Guilford, Hinsdale, West Chesterfield and
Westminster all have large acreages. The
price paid for cucumbers this year is 81
per 1000. The average yield per acre is
100000, although some farmers claim tc
have picked as many as 10000 and 200, COX
from an acre. The picking season vii
continue until the frosts kill the cucum-
Der vines.

MR. COLNON. REFORMER.

| the last days of his term Harbor Commissioner ! Colnon presents the most extraordinary reform
 spectacle of the age For four years he has widowed
 nwaterront patronage He has quartered his relatives and friends upon the State in large numbers, and was only prevented from converting the Harbor Comnis- sion payroll into directory of Stockton by the late overwhelming Republican victory. Now, as he is about to retire from office, he tells the Senate lnveS tigatng Committee that patronage grubbing on the water front IS corrupting and should be stopped. Doubtless if Mr. Conon were cross questioned with reference to collusive contracts, skmped spec1ca- tions, deficient material changes in plans designed to enrich contractors, and the other devices by which rascally officials rob the State in building ferry depos, he would become equally as philosophc and reforma- tory Doubtless he would declare with pain that such things fraudulent and disgusting, and that, like the spells system they ought to be suppressed. But. in the other case, Mr. Colnon's philosophy comes too late After four years of spells and fraud in building ferry depots he suddenly awakes to reaza- ton thatthe system is wrong and subversve of omy and integrity in the public service
 Harbor Commissioner Colnon should not in this matter expect intelligent people take him seriously If he does he IS altogether greener than his four years record private secretary the Governor and Harbor Commissioner would seem to indicate So long the spells system advantaged him he has IL, to private life loaded down with ferry depot scandals
 nd record of which less respectable and intelligent man ought to be ashamed he suddenly reforms and with loud acclaim joins the ranks of civil service formers and becomes member of the church.
 However, the people not likely to fall into any such trap as MT. Colnon is setting for them. Four years acquaintance with him has satisfied them that he is not reformer, and cannot be. They will think he is simply putting up job thenl-appro priating, as it were the livery of heaven only to ap pear later with another office where, building expert, he can take charge of another public edihce Mir. Colnon may think that in verdancy the people of the State resemble those of Stockton, where for years he has passed himself off as guide reformer and friend, but he is mistaken. No professions of form can now save him in their estimation from the deep and impenetrabe oblivion which ought to take every official who fails to faithfully discharge public trust.

THE CHRISTMAS CALL.

E OR the celebration Of the holidays, The Call
 will on next Sunday issue its annual Christmas number It Is well known that with each sue ceeding year these editions improve, but this year the improvement will be notable than ever The Call of next Sunday will mark the highest attainment of journalism and prove one of the brightest holiday novelties of the year.
 A portion of the paper will of course be taken up with review of the condition of great industries and forecast of the future that awaits them. In every these will be written by experts, by men who are identified with the industries they describe, and who therefore write of them with the authority acquired from long experience in their management.
 The moral and the intellectual progress of the State will be given much attention the material progress Two of the most notable articles of the number will treat of the growth and the prospects of our universities President Kellogg will write of the State University, and President Jordan of Stanford. It is well known that these two Californian seats Of learning have brighter prospects than any other un versailles in the Union This is particularly true of Berkeley, whose projected range Of buildings has become the center of interest to the architects of the world and whose future home promises to be the stateliest ever erected for the of education and the advancement of learning
 For the joy of the holidays there will be many articles of light and sparkling character The Der will contain stores Dy SuCh well KnOWn ana popular writers as Anthony Hope, Bret Harte, Oc- tave Thanet, John Strange Winter and Edward Ever Hale These stories in the best style of their respective authors and will make the Christmas Call welcome to all who like the fellowship of rousing TO- nance.
 Throughout the number from first to last every fea- ture will be attractvey illustrated in the best style of modern journalistic art The pictorial richness of the edition will be, in fact of its notable exceences. No branch of newspaper making has advanced so rap idly of years that of illustration and the Christmas Call by its half-tones and other styles of pictures will show what modern art has accom- plished in that direction
 Finally that no department of joyous art may be lacking to the number, The Call will contain a Christmas song, dstnctively Californian written by Miss Ina Coobrth, and set to music by Oscar Veil. We safely assert that this song by of the beauty of its words and the sweetness of its music will be one of the permanent contributions made to Christmas minstrelsy this season. By itself alone it will be sufficient to make this edition of The Call wei come into every cultured home and delight to every artistic mind

the Adirondack region, but the location of the re- mander is not given. This district is large enough to make an experiment worth something, and the re- suits may be expected to be widely beneficial
 It is clear that if the experiments are to be made only in the East, the benefits resulting from them will be almost wholly for the East The conditions oi Western forests widely different from those ot the Adirondack woods that results obtained by cer- tain line of action in the could not be counted on from similar line of action in the other.
 It is to be hoped that California timberland owners will initiate those in the older States of the East and profit by the offer made by the Government. An pertinent of governmental supervision of 100000 acres or of forest land in this State and the scientific harvesting of its merchantabe timber would be object lesson in forestry that would be of great value to the commonwealth

AN EXPERIMENT IN FORESTRY.

nRESIDENT MCKINLEY in his message to D Congress announced that the Forestry Bureau of the Department of Agriculture lis giving special attention to the reeless of the regions the country, and IS introducing species especially adapted to the semi-arid districts Forest fires which seriously interfere with production especially in the irrigated regions, being studied, that the losses from this cause may be avoided"
 This brief statement will have the effect of directing public attention to what IS being done by the Depart ment of Agriculture for the preservation of for ests The subject is of the most important that conronts our lawmakers, either at Washington or at Sacramento Our forests are worth infinitely more to than the Philippines all the islands put to- gether over which much debate is going on.
 One report that comes to from the East of what is being done by the Forestry Bureau is worth more than passing notice by of the promise it res of future good Early in October the Department of Agriculture issued proposal to forest owners that they prepare a plan for harvesting the merchantable
 timber any given tract under the supervision of an agent furnished by the department at the expense o the Government the only condition being that the Government should have the privilege of publishing the financial results for the benefit of other timber owners.
 It now appears that timber-land owners represent ing 100000 of land have filed applications for Government supervision. In the report that comes is stated that 100000 acres of the area are in

ing to put up race which will leave the competition winded, and either in the rear or winner by a nose.
 The Providence which led Baldwin to safety while his betters were being roasted but shows again that God moves in mysterious way his wonders to perform" Nor does the undeserved consideration Providence fail of hu- man imitation. Here is a man who erected a death-trap, and who when after inexplicable delay the trap is the wreck, quibbles with his workmen as to the price at which they shall risk their lives, and seems to have no thought of the unshriven dead in the debris of the sepulcher he builded for them. There is not another city in the United States in which such dangerous walls as the Baldwin fire left would not have been level with the pavement forty-eight hours after the tines had been withdrawn. They stayed up sim ply because Baldwin, who should not have been so much as consulted, de- sired that they should stay. As they rocked and tottered, shedding bricks and metal, he had rescuers looking for blistered washstands and cracked pots. Probably on some lucky days he saved as much as $11 worth of trash. This city does not owe Baldwin anything. For years his very presence has been blemish and a reproach. Morally noisome, socially ostracized, financially the bete noir of collectors, l do not see. why at thi time, when his personality should have been swept aside, he has been allowed to take command. The un- claimed dead within the Baldwin walls have at least the right to respectful deference It is not pleasing that they should lie and rot to suit the whim of uuerulous and grasping old man.

TO STOP FAKE FIGHTING.

ITO the subject of flake fighting" and how to stop
 it the sporting editors of the land have been de-
 voting considerable space. There is only one way, and 1t is simple.
 Every prize-fght is fake, every prize-fghter a confidence The event and the calling are alike illegal By stopping fights of every sort no mistake can be made. Then the fighters, their occupations gone, will quickly drift into the channels of life where they be definitely restrained Most of them will become vagrants and be easily suppressed A few of the more courageous will turn highwaymen or bur glars and in due time be within four walls Here and there with some dormant element of decencv in him will go to work.

cHIcAGos THREATENED ANARCHY

C ONE observers of the threatened trouble in N Chicago the feeling which has led citizens to - walk the streets carrying miniature nooses in token of willingness to hang lot of Aldermen, seem to be unduly alarmed Nor do they discern the point at which reform should be inaugurated
 Said one: "All that is lacking to make Chicago the Paris of the nineteenth century is modern Mrabeau or Robespierre"
 There may be in this an inkling of truth The pas sons of the people have been wrought to fever pitch. The rights of the public have been bartered power shamelessly betrayed officials purchased as openly as junk. It is no wonder that honest say rogues shall no longer rule unchecked. There will be inl- mediate mighty revolution. The change must be worked out in quieter and effective fashion. Ex- pei the scoundres from office, put politics into the hands of decency send bribetakers and brbe givers to prison and stripes. In this IS the solution.
 Oddly enough in counseling the citizens to calm ness statesmen do not seem to weigh the circunl- stances which have perturbed the general mind. It does not to them that there is deep and gen. une grievance; only that citizens threatening to reach a reckless extreme. It will not do in this emergency to place all the blame upon these citizens They have been patient and long suffering, but they have been goaded to wrath, and 1t is a righteous wrath. Concerning the policy of hanging thieving Alderman, 1t is unquestionably bad. The absolute justice of 1t is another matter
