is usually free to all, rich and poor,
who show a disposition to profit BY
them.
Another class of wealthy people are
those who lead the butterfly existence.
By lavish expenditures, they seek to
buy pleasures in their own way-ways
that seem foolishly extravagant to
poor folks. What is prodigality for
people in moderate circumstances
would be parsimony in the very rich,
however, extravaganza being wholly
a relative term. Indirectly, the public
is benefited by the free spending of
the rich. From florist to footman, a
host of patrons and servers flourish
on the wealth of others. The demands
of society and sport, rs followed by
those with millions at their disposal
and but one life to live, make heavy
inroads for the benefit of the poorer,
but probably equally fortunate. classes.
Then there are the millionaires who
act the misers-men like Russell Sage
and women like Hetty Green-though
happily they bear small relation to
the whole number-whose chief
pleasure apparently consists in making
as much and spending as little as
possible. Probably they enjoy them
selves, or they would not do as they
do, but their wealth is Of little benefit
to themselves or others. Consolation
comes with the thought that sooner or
later their fortunes will pass to other
hands that will make better use OF
them

CLEMENT FOR GovERNoR7

1t has been limited that the newly.
organized Local option League has as
one of its chief aims the election OF
Percival w. Clement as governor two
years hence. 1t is said that, as
president of the League, his nominal
ton by the Republicans would be
equivalent TO an endorsement of local
option by the dominant party, and
repeal of prohibition would follow, as
matter of course.
If this nomination should fail of
accomplishment, it is surmised that
MIR. Clement, VITO is a regular Teddy
Roosevelt in grit, as well as personal
resemblance, will stand as a boiling
Republican candidate on local option
platform, and seek also the endorse
ment of the Vermont Democracy on
this main question of state policy. 1t
would not be so easy to crack the
party whip in an off-year contest, such
as that of next year will be, and some
profess to believe that enough Repub-
licans would join with the Democrats
to elect Clement.
1t would make an interesting
struggle, certainly, and lend an
element of doubt to the canvass that
has been lacking for a great many
years. As a practical proposition,
however, we do not take much stock
in this Clement boom,
The governor exerts almost no
influence on Vermont legislation
indeed, ifrecent experience counts as
any indication. his influence goes by
contraries. The governors veto
amounts to nothing, as it can be
overcome by the same majority that
originally passed the measure. The
Hon. Percy could not begin to capture
Republican nomination as an avowed |
apostle of license, and any attempt to
disrupt the party for the purpose of
elevating him would be mighty foolish |
politics.
A much wiser course would be to let
the gubernatorial nomination 90
whittier it will and make the fight
where success would count for some
thing, viz, in the choice of members
of the legislature. If fusion of the
Democrats and license Republicans
could be secured in local contests of
this kind, many towns would doubtless
be carried for license that would other
wise send prohibition Republicans.
1t is only by etfecting this that
prohibition can be disturbed, and
meanwhile supporters of prohibition
would not be idle.

This shows that 226 samples OF feed

gluten feeds were all found to be free
from adulteration, though as might be
expected, the various brands showed
considerable variation in composition.
Some of them were better than others ;
and the station analyses Will help
buyers in picking out the best. Among
lat feeds, corn and Oat feeds, proven
ders and the like, the conditions were
found not quite so satisfactory. Some
brands contained considerable GUAM
titles of oat hulls, more than they ought
to have were the goods made of pure
grains ground together as suggested
in the state law. Such feeds, of course,
are OF inferior quality. The farmer
should buy something else. Bran.

HIS sELF-ADyERTIsEMEsr

This is the modest story that Mr.. Evans
is now sending out to the newspapers,
along with his picture:
Washington, May 7.-During the four
years Of the first Mckinley Administra-
ton no single bureau of the Government
was conducted with more precision, in
strictsr accordance with the law, or with
more general efficiency and proficiency
than was the Bureau of Pensions. Nor
was the conduct of any one bureau more
condemned and denounced than was that
of this same bureau. But in all fairness
1t may be said that the great bulk of the
criticism and condemnation was absolute
ly unfair and unwarranted, having origi-
mated from personal motives, and been
pressed as spitework solely. or because
unimformed persons suffered themselves
to become the dupes of crafty pension
sharks, who were yet not sharp enough
to eYade our admirable system of pension
laws as now administered. II NAV be
said of Commissioner Evans, who pre-
sided over this bureau during those four
years, that no fairer man ever held Gov
efnment office and none enforced the law
more Justly. 1t is not to his discredit that
he did not allow all pension claims that
were presented, for it is a well-known
fact that pension frauds are attempted
every week, if not every day and many
times a day. On the other hand, it is to
his credit that he detected these MANY
frauds, and not only dsalowed such
claims, but debarred from further prac-
tice the attorneys who attempted to en-
gineer them through. There is every rea-
son to believe that every old soldier who
filed claim and furnished the evidence
required by law which showed him en-
titled to pension, received favorable
recognition at the hands of the Pension
Bureau, under Commissioner Evans,
