FISH AND GAME REPORT.

The 18th biennial report OF the commits
sicncrs of fisheries and game of the state
Of Vermont has been printed and will soon
be sent for general distribution by the
commissioners, J. W. Titcomb of St
Johnsbury and Horace q. Bailey of New
bury. The report is very thorough and
exhaustive one, with good illustra tons of
the work done at the hatchery during the
past two years. 1t presents the work in
II way to gam friends for the cause and
should give them good satisfaction.
In answering the question Does the
fish hatchery pay?" the report says:
our present biennial appropriation is
$500. The output of fry for the Same per-
iod is 2..SS.Cu; the output of fingerlinrs,
$500. The fry at 81 per thousand and
tngerlinSS at t3n pcr thousand which is
~" markct price during this period.
would amount to sG3G4. 1t Is therefore a
matter of demonstration that tho hatch
cry mas not only been sclf-supporting dur
ing tho present biennial period but has
paid for all additions and improvements,
with a balance In favor of the hatchery.
Taking tho other and larger view of the
question, the hatchery pays. Trc comm s.
sicners have satisfactory evidence from
responsible citizens In all section Of the
State that the trout planted from the
hatchery do live and increase and that
our brooks are fast becoming ropopulltcd
and our ponds arc furnishing good fishing.

Bankers Investments i'm Bonds.

1t may create surprise in some parts
of the country that the New York
bankers have assured Secretary Gage
of all the money lie will need, even
though the rate of interest be not
tempting. The business men of the
country are not so noisy as the poll
ticians, but they are much more pa
triotic, and they are men OF enough
sense to see that the country has de-
cided upon the ends, the rational
means must be provided, and they
have always been ready to do their
share in providing the financial means.
The action of the bankers in this city,
Philadelphia and Boston in 1861 was
eminently patriotic. The action of
the bankers of this city in 1S94-5-6
was eminently patriotic. Those who
took the second of 1894 lost money on
the transaction, but the loan of 1895
was taken by bankers after the gener-
al public had twice refused, and when
the cheap money men were trying to
scare everyone out of buying govern
ment bond or even keeping one if he
had it, and the bankers who took that
loan to sustain the credit of the gov
eminent and the continuance of bus
mess did more for the government
than their contract bound them TO.
The bucOlic mind has All idea that the
possession of a government bond is an
extraordinary piece of good fortune !;
but the truth is that the net Interest
is so small that men of capital and
business ability have no l'ecuniary
temptation to invest very large part
of their fortunes in that fOrm.-N. Y.

Effects of Fusion Administration.

The Medical Lake Record SAYS that
"Populists of high standing in the par
ty affirm that the fusion element has
ruined this fine state institution, and
unhesi tatingly condemn the methods
resorted to-" The fusion element has
wrought havoc in other state instltu-
tons, especially the agricultural col
lege and the state university.
The trouble at the Medical Lake
hospital seems to have been caused
from the usual fusion reasons, polite
al pressure for places and the select
ion of officers for political reasons
rather than on account of personal
qualifications and fitness for the posi-
tions. The result of this is seen in the
several complications and scandals
that have resulted. 1t is claimed by
one of the former employees at Medical
Lake that "affairs were in such rot
ten state that further endurance was
an utter impossibility."
In this connection the result of flu
sion rule at the state university is in
teresting. AS IS we'll known, several
lively fights and resulting scandals
have obtained in the management of
the university, the feeling extend ing
to the to the students, which could
not help injuring the best interests IF
the university. Three years ago five
hundred and fifty students were en-
rolled in the university, while now but
one hundred and forty are enrolled
and not all of these are in attendance.
That the scandals and contentious
at these different state institutions,
the agricultural college, the state uni
versity, and Medical Lake Asylum
have had blighting effect on those
institutions cannot be doubted, and
the result will still further swell the
total of discredits in the account of
the fusion administration that has
misgOvelned this state for the last
eighteen months.
