COOPERATIVE CREAMERlES.
An Agent of Certain Promoters COOL!
Received by Farmers.

The scheme providing for the building
of cooperative ere .meries which was DIS
cussed in this paper some time ago, has
recently been brought up again by an
agent who was sent to Vermont by the
firm which attempted to build a creamery
at West Milton. This .rclt made de-
mands upon the farmers who had signed
the paper circulated by the promoters
threatening to sue them in the State of
Illinois and in the United States courts
After listening 10 the threats the farmers
allowed the agent to again take up h 5
grip and start for his home in the West.
The creamery scheme was operated by
Davis & Brent in this section and was to
circulate a paper in which farmers sigh
ed for a certain number of shares al 500
each in q cooperative creamery, The hrm
was to build to equip the plant. 1t is al
legged that the deal was not strictly an
honorable one and the firm disappeared.
Later parties from Chicago appeared and
claimed the right to build the creamery
and make collections in behalf of DaN IS
& Brent. The sgners then took counsel
and looked up the matter finding that
they were to pay much more under the
cooperative plan that creamery really
ought to cost. They then withdrew from
the contract and notified Davis Brent.

Tho Venerable War Governor Says Good
Word For the National Guard and Adjt.-
Gen. Peck.

Brattleboro, Dec. 90. 1898.
Hor G. G. Benedict:
| was surprised and dissatisfied with the
attempt on the part of "A portion OF the
members Of our last legislature to abolish
the office of Adiutant General and to dis
solve the National Guard organization
General Baxter, General Washhurn, and
General Peck have been the three
ablcst and best Adjutant Generals of the
State during my remembrance, which is
not n short one. General Peck, the last
of this notable trio, is by no means the
least. Ever conscientiousiy attentive to
the duties and requirements OF his Or
flee, he has been conspicuously urbane
and courteous to all whom he could in any
way serve or obige. l trust he will con-
tinue at his post, Notwithstanding the
thoughtless fault finding OF those who at
tempted to legislate him out of office.
As to the abandonment of the military
system and the service of the Regiment
of National Guards of the State, l for
one cannot approve it. The progress of
mankind has not yet arrived at that stage
when military force be inl the

TAXES IN VERMONT AND NEW
HAMPSHIRE.

F'rom the Brattleboro Reformer Dem)
Vermonters who see their taxes sent
higher and the State expenses bloAted
more and more out of reason with every
session of the Legislature, must enjoy
looking across the river into New Hamp-
shire and seeing another reduction made
this year. while the Governor shows that
the corporation tax leaves practically no
burden whatever on the towns. This is
the normal product of the difference be-
tween a 5000 and a 25,000 majority for the
party in power. In the one case the party
ty leaders operate with some fear of the
people. In the other they do not care a
picayune for that as political matter
and feel free to follow personal schemes
and ambitions without limit. The YER
mont voter, therefore. who persists in be-
ing fooled into voting State tickets on ma
tional considerations, has only himself TO
thank for the results.

Admiral Dcwey's Politics Again.

The nomination of Admiral Dewey for
the Presidency and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee for
the Nice-Presidency in 1900 by Col Henry
Wat.erson, editor of the democratic
Louisville Courier-Journal and self-ap-
pointed custodian of the "star-eyed god
dess of reform" has naturally impaired
new life to the discussion of the political
faith OK Admiral Dewey. The fact that he
should be nominated by a democrat for
President on a ticket with another demo-
crat for second place would seem to give
color in the eyes of the uniformed to the
assertion that the Admiral was also a
democrat but this is simply another IL
Illustration of the disposition of the demo-
Gratis to gain for themselves all the glory
possible out of a war which they FASTENED
in their usual happy way of pulling back
until the last moment
Senator Proctor is quoted by a Washing
ton correspondent as giving strong reasons
for maintaining that Admiral Dewey Is a
republican, and while some OF them have
already been published in these columns,
the only way to meet our friends the enc
my is to offset their claims with facts
Senator Proctor reiterates the fact that
Admiral Dewey's father was a republican
and that all of his brothers have been
steadfast republicans; that all his living
male relatives are members of the repub-
lien party: that Dewey's appointment tc
the Naval Academy was obtained by a
republican Congressman; that Gen. Ben.
jamin +. Tracy, when secretary of the
navy treated him as a republican; that his
selection for the command of our Asiatic
squadron was the result in part of infu
ences brought to bear by republicans anc
that under the circumstances Dewey's in
clinations would naturally be with the re-
publIcans rather than with the democratic
party. On the other hand there is no goot
reason for assuming that the Admira
might be a democrat, and inasmuch as h,
is said TO have never voted owing to hi
connection with the navy and his absenc,
from home it will bother our democrati,
friends to prove their claim to his politi
cal utilization with their organization
There Is no good reason as a matter o
fact to doubt that Admiral Dewey is
thorough republican.

A canvass has been made of tho United
States Senate, before which body the
treaty of peace with Spain has been plac-
cd and 1t is found that sixty-two sena-
tors favor the ratification of the treaty,
or two more than che necessary two
thirds. 1t IS shown that while forty-fvo
amendment of the treaty only thirty nine
senators are in favor of amending tae
instrument. In view of the fact that
many democratic senator's are in favor of
the ratification of the treaty as a stroke
of party policy it seems that the treaty
will be speedily consummated.

and many more in number than all the
others put together, 1t cannot be salts
factory. For proof of the correctness of
this estimate of Gov. Dillingham; strength
before the people-a strength due not to
any solicitation or pulling OF wires on his
part, but to intelligent recognition of his
high personal character and qualifications
for the place-wc are content to await the
outcome of the popular canvass. which
will be in progress during the coming two
years. 1t will take only till october, 1900
to show the governor that in this matter
he has gone counter to the wishes of
majority of the people and consequently
has made a mistake. Whatever their in
dividual preferences, the people respect
the man who in such a matter declines
to resort to any temporary expedient and
stands Up squarely to his responsibility
and his duty. This office being purely
representative one, we think, and 1t Will
| be generally thought, that the governor
should have been guided in his action ~
the wishes of majority of the voters. If
he was not satisfied on this point, 1t was
! in a way to be made clear TO him. Per-
haps he did not care 20 be convinced on
that point.

man who has been appointed. If one was

applicant for the office, and as we under
stand, when it was tenderd him by the
governor he had grave doubts whether he
ought to accept it, especially owing to the
condition of Mrs. Fiields health. No one,
so far as we know, was calling for his APP
pointment. Most certainly he is not the
man upon whom the mass of intelligent
citizens, and a majority of those whose
opinions are best entitled to respect, had
fixed as the man to succeed Senator Nor
rill. when the latter should yield to his
burden of years. That man is William T.
Dillingham;. He can afford to wait and
accept the office from the people, and not
at the hand of the executive and though
not a prophet, or the son of prophet, we
do not hesitate to put on record the pre-.
dction that no rival or number of rivals
can prevent his election to the United

The Governors Choice.

The information, first given to the pub
lie by the FREE PRESS, that Gov. Smith
had decided to appoint Hon. b. f.. Fiheld
to Vermonts vacant seat in the United
States Senate, prepared our readers for
the official announcement of the appoint
ment, promulp lted on Saturday. That
this was a possible and not improbable
outcome of the emergency, was indicated
in our first editorial on the succession to
Mr.. Morrill,. The governors decision Is
not altogether a surprise to us. Governor
Smiths suggestion to the delegation of
Burlington gentlemen who visited him TO
urge the appointment of Gov. Dillingham;
10 the effect that to appoint any one of
the leading aspirants to the Office would
be to give him an undue advantage over
the others when the Legislature came to
elect a senator, vas of course equivalent
to a statement that the man he should Sc
lect--had in fact already selected--would
not he a candidate before the Legisla ture.
The argument which was, no doubt pressed
upon the governor, that to thus. fiji the
gap for the time being with man who
would not be a candidate for the perman-
ent place, would be the falrest course
towards the candidates in the field, was
certain to appeal strongly to Gov. Smith
We confess that We hoped he would be
man enough TO disregard 1t, and to give
10 the people Of Vermont the senator who
was, and is, most distinctly the choice OF
majority OF the republican voters, The
governors decision is doubtless approved

were illegible. Seventy-one photographs
have now been taken, and only two are IL
