Goats.

In the opinion of the United
States department of agriculture the
raising OF goats may be profitable
venture in agricultural sections and
it Is suggested that Vermont offers a
fair field for experiment. The COM
petition of the sheep raisers of the
west has had a ruinous effect on that
industry in Vermont until now, as a
well known buyer of wool and
sheep pelts says, it is every year
becoming more and more difficult to
find these products among Vermont
farmers. Goats, the department
says. are easily adaptable to all
countries and all climates, except
the polar regions. Where they live
III the temperate zone they develop
remarkably fine fleece. They are
hardy. suffer little from disease, and
thrive on pasturage that could not
be used for sheep.
The cost of war, it is seen, Is even
less than the cost of benevolent
assimilation, as measured in the
lives of American citizens. In
crushing the power of European
nation and driving its army and
navy out Of this hemisphere, the
United States has sacrificed less of
the blood of its own people than in
desultory and ineffective and in
conclusive attempt to establish po-
lice authority over the natives of
single island in the archipelago pur-
chased from Spain.-Boston Post.

The only Dewey testimonial hav-

mcnt is the memorial hall ut North
field and the fund for this building
is said to he growing. Some Of the
so-caIcd testimonial schemes, begun
only for advertising purposes Of
the promoters, have happily fallen
through. The building of a memo
rial hall is a worthy and common
sense suggestion and it is gratifying
to hear that it finds strong support.
The Dewey home fund project is
reported dead, though the Brooklyn
Eagle says 1t has run down the story
that he would decline such present
and declares that there is no founda-
ton Tor il but that it was got up BY
jealous newspapers and ii "dessicat-

official Col. Tweedale, but they
are glad to welcome him to their
ranks even as a Major, and will
trust to the generosity of some
equally thoughtful Congress to

he be greeted as Colonel Tweedale.

good one Is pleasure and pride to its
