With First Frosts,

The weather bureau promises frost
this week for the uplands. Even last
week the country papers told of light
frosts in the mountain sections, and
the farmer is beginning to clean up his
late crops. 1t is a pity vacation sea-
son cannot come twice during the year
Perhaps it would be wisdom if the va
cation were put off until the first
frosts. The country in summer is
pleasanter than the city. But the
country in the fall, after the frosts
have colored the foliage and opened
the nut burrs, is so much pleasanter
than the country in the summer that
vacations could be made more enjoy
able if they were set for October in
stead of for August. In summer it is
too hot to roam around amid the coun-
try scenes that are SO inviting. But
in autumn every shifting condition or
changing bit of landscape is new
charm.
The sun in the closing weeks of
September loses it's virulence. The
falling leaves rustic beneath the foot
with a music sweet as the melody of
Pan and his shepherds flute. The
roadsides and thickets are alive with
the dwellers Of the wood. Rabbits and
squirrels make entertaining compan-
ions, and the migratory birds as they
gather for their long southwark Jour-
ney give action to the evining atmos-
phere. Ripening fruits are in the o.
chard, and beneath the chestnut and
hickory tree the rich treasures of the
season tempt the adventurer. The
forest revels in gorgeous colorings,
and the nights are cool to sleep. Sum-
mer has its good points, But with
the first frosts come the perfection of
maturity afeld and new vigor enters
the blood. Then is the time for a va
cation, for then we are able to enjoy
what is to be enjoyed. Vacation
should come twice a year, or if only
once autumn is the time.

Bryan and His Regiment.

Col. W. j. Bryan should be the last
man to try to get his regiment mus
tered out Of service. When the war
broke out Mr.. Bryan chased up and
down the country trying to break into
it, and after long delay he was finally
made colonel of a bunch of Nebraska
men who were gathered together for
the chief purpose of advertising Bryan
and his free silver hobbies. The regi-
ment was formed, and with no knowl-
edge of army life or war, led by man
whose military experience had been
confined to fighting with his eloquence
from the back platform of a railroad
train. Bryan and his soldiers set out
on tour through the South, where af-
ter few receptions and little speech
making the outfit arrived.
Col. Bryan and his men no doubt
have been working diligently to learn
how to be soldiers, and it is not too

No Change Here.
"As to the effect that the reorgani-
zation will have on Baltimore, l don't
think that there will be any change at
all. AS / look at it anything that ben
fits the Baltimore and Ohio will bene-
fit Baltimore. The general offices and
Mount Glare shops will still remain
here, beyond any question. There will
be no change in the terminal facilities,
except that they will probably be en-
larged, as We have always wanted
them to be, when we had the money.
No Consolidation.
There is absolutely nothing in the
statement that there will be a consol-
idation of roads by which a trans-con-
tinental system will be arranged. Mr.
Hills statement is very clear on this
point. There will be no consolidation
of roads, with the Great Northern or
any other. The Baltimore and Ohio
will hold itself open at Chicago to ac-
cept business from any of the great
Northwestern roads which empty into
Chicago. There would be absolutely
nothing in tying ourselves up with
any of these roads, and the statement
that we would do so was only a hap
hazard guess, made on the spur of the
moment by someone when it was first
learned that Mr.. Hill, the builder of
the Great Northern, was to become in
terested in the Baltimore and Ohio"
Mr.. Cowen said that he would be in
Baltimore all of this week and that
there was nothing in rumor that was
published that he intended going to
New York today.

Senator Pettigrew, who bolted the
Republican party because it refused
to make itself the tool of a score or
more of wealthy silver miners of the
west, has been compelled to suspend
the free-silver campaign in South Da-
kota because nobody turned out to
hear him. Senator Pettigrew says
the campaign was begun too SOON"
On the heels Of this comes the an
nouncement that Senator Kyle, of that
state, has abandoned Populism and
free-silvor, and has declared himself
convert to the Republican party, while
II. L. Loucks, one of the founders of
Populism and the author of the "Oma-
ha platform" man of national repu-
tation in politics, has repudiated fus-
ion and declared himself out-and-out
for the success of the Republicans this
fall. For young state, South Dakota

The plan of the proposed trade bu-
reau of the Vermont Maple Sugar
Makers association is as follows:
This bureau is to be organized as a
stock company, with an authorized
capital Of $50 Go for the purpose OF
marketing ti4o maple products of the
stockholders Of said bureau.

right to market his maple products
through the bureau, the operation Of
the bureau to be CO. operative, and
goods received shall be paid for on a
basis of sales made for the season.
Each holder of stock shall be entitled
to one vote for each share Of stock
owned, in the management Of the af-
shall be located at some central point
to be determined by the directors
chosen by the stockholders Of this
bureau.
It is proposed to receive all goods
at this station in the form of syrup,

guarantee of it's genuineness and by
placing the goods directly in the

The January term Of Supreme Court
convened at the court room at the
State House on Tuesday with the en-
tire bench present except Judge Nun
son. Prayer was offered by Rev. An
drew Gillies. The docket was called
and a large number of cases were con-
tinued, indicating that the term will
be short, probably not exceeding
three weeks. Gases from Bennington,
Windham, Franklin and Grand Isle
counties were set for hearing this
week. In accordance with previous
arrangement the case Of State against
Isabelle A. Marsh and William @. Buz
zell was first heard. Mrs. Marsh and
Buzzell sat beside each other and lis
tened intently to the proceedings.
Both are looking we'll after their long
confinement. Buzzen was totally un
able to hear a word of the proceed
ings, and Mrs. Marsh's pencil was
kept busy explaining to him the
points as presented. The exceptions
were voluminous and w. A. Lord,
counsel for Mrs. Marsh, occupied all
the forenoon and good share of the
afternoon presenting the case for the
respondents. The answer TO respond
ents' exceptions will be made by Ex
States Attorney T. S. Stanton and
Hon. Frank PIumley. It is expected
that a decision in this case will be
rendered before thefinal adjournment

4 HORSE ANIME PREDICTED.

The advice to Vermont farmers,
frequently repeated In these columns,
to include the breeding of good horses
in their diversified industry, is en-
phasized as we'll as vinGicated by the
utterances Of Mr.. F. j. Berry, an ex-
pert horse grower, at the recent con-
vention of American stock breeders
and feeders in the city of ST. Paul.
This gentleman declared that he and
other men conspicuously engaged in
stock raising believe the United States
at no distant day will witness a horse
famine, and that as a result there will
be marked appreciation in the price
of these animals. In his estimation
this result will be due in part to the
hard times and low prices which have
led many breeders to abandon the
business and partly to the increasing
demand for American horses in Eu
rope.
Under the circumstances it is not
surprising that this authority should
class horse raising as capable of being
one of the very foremost of our vast
and varied agricultural interests.
His recommendation that special at
tention be given to the we'll bred
coach horse, the cab horse, the omni
bus horse, the draft horse, and the
trotting horse in the order named,
however, would need to be modified
for Vermont breeders.
This state has produced fine draft
horses but Vermont's fame as a horse
breeding state rests upon its splendid
carriage horses and its phenomenal
trotting stock and for our farmers as
a class there is undoubtedly more
money in the breeding of fine drivers
than in any other class of horses have
won reputation as broad as the land,
and if breeders will develop these
classes instead of devoting their time
and energies to the breeding of mon
grels and Flooding plugs, they will
undoubtedly find Mr.. Berry to have
been true prophet.-Free Press.

Some of the younger, and perhaps
rash politicians in the western part of
the state are talking Of D. j. Foster of
Burlington as worthy successor of
Judge Powers as a representative in
congress. 1t is doubtless very try
ing thing for the eager office seekers
to wait until some older incumbent
resigns, dies or wears out his well
come, but the people, by and large,
have it in their heads that the able,
experienced and influential man in
congress is worth great deal more
to our state and the country than the
fiedgling. 1t is not necessary to say
any thing ill of those who aspire to Of
fee. It ought to fairly well deter
mine in advance that they would make
better men in the places sought than
those whom they seek to pull down
or put out.

Referring to the allegations of fraud
ulent pensions made by certain pa
pers, the official organ of the G. A. r.,
the National Tribune, demands proof
Of these charges SO recklessly made.
The Tribune says that cit has dared
the papers who were making wild
charges against the pensioners to go
to the pension agencies in their cities
and take the pensions as they came
and the fullest Information concern
them. Not paper has accepted its
challenge"
Now if these sheets who are vocif-
Grating "fraud" can show any instan-
ces of it they should do so. If they
cannot they had better stop their
racket.
