Some of the newspapers are protesting
to find marked significance in the APP
preaching visit OF Nice-Prcsidout Roose-
welt to this state in connection with the
annual meeting of the Vermont Officers
Reunion society and the annual banquet
of the Vermont Fish and Game League.
They refer to the prominent part which
the Green Mountain state took in swing
ing New England from Hon. Thomas Il.
Reed to President Mckinley. and know
inply suggest that the prominence which
the Vice President is to be given next
month in our commonwealth will undoubt-
edly have important political results later
on. If the Same rule applies to other pres
idcntial possibilities who come within our
boundaries the republicans Of Vermont
are likely to become embarrassed f<r
Senator Fairbanks Of Indiana made a
short tour of the state last year, and Sem
ator Spooner of Wisconsin has expert
onccd the piscatorial delights Of our state
under the chaporonage of some of our
leading politicians.
There is an announcement I'm connection
with Roosevclts presidential interests
however. which has marked significance,
and that is to the effect that Senator
Quay has come out In favor of his nomi-
nation by the republican party. This is
particularly not awcrthy in view of tho
fact that hitherto platt Of New York and
Quay have pulled together whereas at the
present time tho New York leader is UNI
derstood to be doing his utmost to pro-
mote the presidential chances Of Gov.
Odell These two United States senators
have dominated half the national conven-
tions held by the republicans during the
past twenty years. and by combining their
forces they have exertcd a tremendous in
fluence in the shaping of national policies.
When Senator Plat attempted to place
Roosevelt on a political shelf at the ma
tional convention in Philadelphia, he may
have been building better than he knew
for the young governor who dared to de-
fy him. 1t is announced that when Roose-
welt finally decided to accept the nominal
ton for second place on the ticket with
Mckinley, he had an understanding
with Senator Quay, and it is limited that If
he fails to secure the nomination of his
party for the presidency in 1901 it will
be because Senator Quay is not able to
cope with Senator Plat of New York.

Short Corn Crop and Long Prices.

There are times when corn is so plenti-
full and cheap in the West that farmers
find it profitable to use this cereal for
fuel instead of buying wood or coal. A
shortage in the crop therefore works TO
the advantage of the corn-grower, pro-
Vided the shortage is not too marked. The
present season furnishes an excellent il
lustration Of this fact, According to the
most reliable advices the corn crop will
be in the neighborhool OF / 90 O00. go bush

aggregated 1000. 900 bushels But the

cereal. While the crop is 30 per cent
smaller than last year the current price
OF corn is aur lady 20 cents "A busncl higher
than it was at this time in 1900. This will
mean that the farmers will get $50 600, OOc
more for their corn product than they
would have received for an estimated full
crop at last years prices. The shorta &C
in corn will have a far broader signf-
icance than this however for the public
