SPEAKING of the California wool
market, the last annual report of the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
said: 1.-THE old stock which has been
carried from the free tariff times has all
been worked off, and today we stand
on gold basis, as we have no more
wool in the United States than we can
use." How different this is from the
"free tariff times" when foreign shod-
dy goods were sold in the American

THE settlement of the "trust" ques-
ton is not political one, but calls for
the concerted action and best judgment
of all Legislators. Whenever a "trust"
tends to impair the rights and priv
ileges of citizens, it aims neither at Re-
publicans, Democrats nor Populists,
but at all alike. Therefore the repre-
sentatives of all the people should join
hands for the protection of all.

TAKING the entire year of 1899, and

Cuba, Porto Rico and the Hawaiian,
Philippine and Samoan islands, the
total for 1899 shows an increase of more
than 100 per cent in exports TO those
islands over the year 1898, while the
imports from them show an increase of
nearly SO per cent over those of 1898.

THIS is going to be the banner year

100000 900 over the corresponding
period in the previous fiscal year, and
$3.50, 000, 900 more than i'm 1895 under
the Wilson tariff, which was claimed
to be especially conductive to foreign
trade

How's this for expansion? Last year,
1899, the exports of American farm
products and manufactures to Cuba,
Porto Rico, the Hawaiian, Philippine
and Samoan islands increased by more
than 100 per cent. Besides This, nearly
$6,0C0,000 worth of American -four
went to the Orient last year, an in
crease of $4,000, 900 since 1898, most of
it for China, Japan and Asiatic Russia

The Coming Legislature.

At this time OF year when the legisla-
ture is about to convene there is cOnsid-
cradle discussion, scolding, advice and
admonition about the Legislature being
so tardy in getting to work, idly passing
the great portion of the time during
the first of the session and then at
the close rushing the work through
so hastily as to produce bad legislation.
OF course there is some foundation for
criticism. Men are too apt to seek pub
lie positions for the ease and benefits
they get out Of them. At the same
time there are very many things about
our Legislative work that are not open to
common observation. The work accom-
plished by our Legislators averages well
enough; but of course to have that re-
suit some must work very hard to com
penSate for some who are idle and in
competent. a common observer being
at the capitol when the legislature con-
venes would very likely wonder that the
members did not proceed Immediately
to work the first day, not knowing OF
not thinking that there was then moth
ing to do and nobody to do it. In the
first place a Legislative body can't 90 tc
work until it is organized, and it is nc
small job to arrange the committees, es
pecialIy in the house. These committees
have to be organized out of material
that is new in legislation, brought from
all parts OF the state, many Of them al
most unknown. 1t takes time and patient

TEMPERANCE WoRKER.
An address which has given the liquor
dealers much apprehension was delivered
at st. Adams Wednesday to the grand
jury by Judge Wendell p. Stafford. He
is newly appointed to the Vermont SUI
preme bench and his attitude on tn,
temperance question, which has been &
matter of speculation, is no longel
doubtful. He compared the violator OF
the liquor law to the anarchist. "Thc
state says Thou shalt not The anar
chist replies, i will The question is,
which is the greater, the rebel or the
state? The state of Vermont has said
you shall not sell liquor The dealer
says i will Is he not to that extent
an anarchist? Cool. calculating merce.
nary, deliberate violation of the law
what is it but a challenge to the state
and all who are loyal to the state? l.
the state ready to confess that it is toe
weak or too cowardly to enforce the law
which it has made? Under the present
law the states attorney is not entitled
to draw his salary unit, he has procured
from the presiding Judge a certificate to
the effect that he has faithfully admins
tered his office. therefore give notice
to all present to make known to me any
supposed failure Of this officer, that the

vermont's Senatorial Contest.

Somebody has remarked that the
present is the hittcrc,t senatorial fight
Vermont ever had. and ihat politics have
changed since the oldrn time. that men
were more modest formerly than now and
any man who announced himself as want
inc an office was sure to he buried. These
remarks naturally produce Il pleasant
sensation because they suggest that the
atmosphere of the past seems purer as it
rrcedes from memory. 1t is true that
there was a man by the name of Briggs
who announced himself as a candidate
for congress. and his announcement so
struck the seusibility of the fathers (our
fathers) that they buried him out OF
sight. But it isnot true that no man
could obtain position after ayowing his
desire for it to the people, for men got
positions in oldcn times 10y skill, inge-
nuity and political manmmring just
the same as they do nowadays. And
they had political squabbles just the
same as now They had one once in
which one of the most prominent and
perhaps the ableSt and most accom-
plished men in the state was involved.
And if the boys at Montpelier this fall
fill the office of the Pavilion with as
much bitterness, calumny, personal de
fractions, inuendos and charges of cor
ruption and immortality as We're piled up
in the office Of the old Pavilion in the
fortics and in the famous PhelpS-Slade
controversy, they'll have to set up late
nights and get up early in the morning.
That senatorial fight was so bitter that
it ran into a pamphlet war after the
combatants were separated from the
immediate presence of each other, and
was bitterly personal. \ man who was
a fit companion of Clay, Webster, and
lllaI SCnOOl Oh men, II HUI Oh great cut
ture and refinement, was openly charged
with gross Irregularities Of life. We dc
not alIude to these things to bring any
shade on the past but rather as an Ell.
enlargement for the present and the
future, for we think that sometimes it is
discouragimg to the poor politicians OF
today to be constantly telling them how
confoundedly nice their fathers were il
politics. Besides the GOODNESS and cour
tesy which has thus far characterized
our present candidates for congress
ought to be encouraged and continued
and a reference to one or two features
of the past may not he amiss in suggest
ing an example Of how contemplate
passion, discourtesy, bitterness, crimina
ton and recrimination looks after the
occasion has passed and gone and the
next generation looks back upon it.
