What Does 1t Mean?

Hardly week now passes but the
news goes forth over the state that
Congressman w. ". Grout has sent a
check for the relief of some church So
ciety, or has secured a cannon for some
cemetery or has done some good deed
to please somebody. He delivered the
address of welcome before the Metho-
dist conference at Newport; he rode
the camel across the hot sands of the
desert at the recent Mystic Shrine
meeting in st. Johnsbury, and the last
act heard of was a check for $40 sent
to the Congregational society at Wind
sor to be applied towards the insurance
of the church property. He made a
liberal contribution towards the Burns
monument fund at Barre bat this was
probably done out of pure love for
7'Bobbie'' Burns, of whose works the
General is very fond, knowing great
number of his poems by heart and
possessing some rare editions of his
books. Gen. Grout has reaped a rich
harvest in copper investments and Is
evidently inclined to use some of the
profits for the benefit of his constit-
uents. No one will be unkind enough
to accuse our congressman of doing
these deeds fer political purposes but
it is natural for some to entertain an
occasional suspicion that nail is be-
ing put in his fences here and there
simply to strengthen them for the
warm senatorial contest not far distant.

Cotton Crop Outlook.

Knott & Closson, bankers and brok-
ers of Burlington, have prepared val
liable report of the acreage and crop
of cotton for the coming season. The
material for the report was gathered
by sending letters direct TO the farm
ers in the nine cotton growing states.
From $500 persons addressed 5,371 re-
plies were received. The replies indi-
cate greater percentage of unmark-
eted cotton on the first of April west
of the Mississippi river, with a larger
percentage of unpicked and ruined cot
ton than ever before known, else
where. AS to the acreage and spin
ming quality of the staple the reports
were uniform in stating that this sea-
sons cotton was the poorest in quality
ever raised. There will be a decrease in
acreage this year of 17.2 per cent or
3,S51,677 acres, the total acreage for
$500 season being 22,656, 1856 acres.
A corresponding decrease in produc-
ton would indicate a crop in the vi
cinity of 100000 bales as compared
with 11,216,O00 bales in '97-98 and an
estimated crop of 10,900,0 900 in '9S '99.
This years crop went into the ground
from three to seven weeks later than
ever before, with from II to over 80
per cent less sterilization and moor pre-
paratiOn of the soil and there is almost
certain possibility of frost damage.
All this indicates clearly the folly of
expecting a third crop equal in size to
that of '97-'9S or the season now draw
ing TO a close.

Vermont Regiment Badges.

DIR. w. Seward Webb of the military
committee of the House in the last
legislature, endeavored to have an act
passed that would give bronze medal
to each member OF the Vermont regi-
ment. The bill failed but through the
generosity of Mr.. Webb the regiment
will have the badges. The badges for
the bows of Co. G have arrived and are
in the possession of Capt Johnson for
distribution. Below is description
of the beautiful badge:
The metal is a bright golden bronze.
1t was secured from the wreck of Ger
vera's flagship the Maria Teresa. The
bar bears the deer's head, crest of the
Vermont coat of arms, between sprigs
of pine, the memorial badge of the
> Green Mountain boys, and the words
"First Vermont Infantry, .. S. ""
Pendant from the bar is the badge OF
the Third Corps of the volunteer army
in the Spanish American war Fol
loving a rule adopted in the war for
the Union these corps badges are in
three colors, red for the first division,
white for the second and blue for the
third. The Vermont regiment was in
the third brigade, first division of third
corps and the three-teethed CLUTCH
the corp badge, is in red enamel. The
clutch rests on wreath and on this is
a medallion in white and blue with the
words "Spanish-American war; and
on the white centre is the date 1898"
in gold. On the back of the badge is
the Vermont coat of arms, the words
''The gift of w. S. Webb and the let
ter of the company. The ribbon is
light green for the Green Mountain
state. The maker, j. K. Dawson, of
Philadelphia. considers it the hand
soonest regimental badge he has ever
made. The boys of the Vermont regi-
ment will always have reason to re-
member DR.. Webb. While the regi-
ment was at Chickamauga $1,000 was
sent by himself and Mrs. Webb to the
regimental hospital and they have
made other gifts of money for the re-
lief of sick soldiers since their return.
