Trout Culture for ProfIt.

This paragraph from the Caledonian

profitable industry in Vermont
William II. Silsby. who owns the
Horace Aver farm near Cole Corner,
has put in series of six trout ponds
on the farm. ranging from % to 40 feet
in length and 10 10 ~ feet in width.
with a depth of two TO four feet. He
has stocked them with fingerlings.
This farm has an abundant water
supply. Sleepers' runs through il
and aside from this there are several
good springs and smaller streams and
later Mr.. Silsby may go into the trout
raising industry on larger scale"
Vermont is so well watered. has
such an abundance of springs and
streams that the most troublesome mat
ter iD breeding iish-the water sup
ply-is disposed OF at the start. To
engage in this business on large
scale would require large investment
but any one having access to a sutfi-
cient water supply of the right tenn
perature and suitable location Tor
constructing ponds can make a start
at very small expense and enlarge his
business from time to time il condi-
tions warrant. There is demand
enough for fry, fingerlings and adult
fish so that there need be no fear of a
lack of market Argus.

profanity. Profanity too rampant
seemingly a state vice. as it is heard
everywhere from old and young,
wherever you go, more in week
than heard on the streets of Boston in
a year" is the rather scathing criticism
dealt out by this observer. We are
satisfied that the writer exaggerates.
We do not believe that profanity is so
much more general in Vermont than
elsewhere. There is no reason why it
should be. and reasons generally
govern. At the same time it must be
admitted that the basis of the criticism
is well founded. Profanity is very
common among almost all classes.
Instead of being the mark of vulgar
ity, it is not infrequently considered
an accomplishment worth having, A
person who can swear with neatness
and despatch has a sort of standing in
some communities that he would lose
if he should be stricken dumb. Boys
note this. and early turn their atten-
ton TO framing the most forcible oaths
and obscenities that their ingenuity
en- devise. Cultured people tolerate
profanity, and even smile at it. We
have heard elergymen take the cloak
of some story or aneedote TO cover a
choice assortment of oaths that they
were evidently proud to understand.
The ladies are schooled to pass
through a gauntlet OF swear words that
almost strike fire without a flush of
the cheek. Now profanity may at
times be excusable, and we have seen
instances where it seemed justified, but
as concomitant and essential OF
everyday conversation, requisite TO
convey ones full meaning, it is alto
gether out Of place. ill-bred and vul-
gar, whatever one may think ofthe wis
dom of obedience to the second com
mandment.

Dewey.

Il win please Vermonters TO have
the work of Admiral Dewey, who has
conducted the proceedings in the
Schley court OF inquiry, so warmly
commended as has been done by the
Army and Navy Journal. Admiral
Dewey is large enough TO fill and fill
well any office within the gift of his
countrymen.-[ Fair Haven Era.
This last sentence suggests the pres
idency and the lamentable break that
the admiral once made in that direc-
ton. Surely the Era, while iustiiiably
proud of the record OF this gallant
Vermonter, will not presume 10 ques-
ton the popular verdict that would
not even treat his candidacy for the
White House seriously p st. Adams
Messenger.
1t is probably true that if Deweys
candidacy had been announced at the
proper time, the public would have
taken it very seriously. "There Is q
tide in the affairs Of men, which, taken
at the flood, leads on 10 fortune" but
Dewey did not find the right time.

A one-tioss Railroad.

The present condition of the Brat

manner in which it is being operated
ought to receive immediate attention.
II is a well known fact that the road
bed Is in very bad shape Many of the

breakdowns are OF very frequent oc-
currence For a considerable length
of time during the past summer only
one machine has been available FOR
use. Several Of the freight cars which
formed the original equipment Of the
road have been destroyed In wrecks
No new ones have been bought, and
1t is impossible for shippers 70 secure
the cars necessary for carrying on
their business. The running OF the
trains is so irregular as to cause very
great annoyance. With such n stu
alton in open weather. serious appre-
hension is felt as to what will happen

Bellows Falls is excited because of
the proposed establishment of a
parochial school there. Nearly half
the pupils of school age are Catholic,
and the prospect is serious derange-
ment of the school system if they are
withdrawn. However, there is no
remedy. If the people of the Catholic
denomination prefer their own schools
to the public schools and are willing
to support them it is impossible to
prevent their establishment. 1t is, of
course. a heavy burden on Catholics
to have to pay taxes toward the sup
port OF public schools and to bear the
burden Of their sectarian schools be-
sides. Ii they are willing to do it,
that is their affair, however. The
public schools certainly have nothing
to fear from the competition of paro-
chial schools, however well the latter
may be conducted. Free popular ed
ucation is growing in favor every day.
Very many Catholics will send their
children to the public schools in pre-
ference to the parochiais. Supported
by public funds, they have an immense
advantage that cannot be matched bv
the tuition or contribution systems.
No successful effort has ever been
made to divert any of the public
moneys to parochial schools, and no
fear is felt that such an effort ever
would succeed. America is committed
to the idea of free popular education.

unnecessary to drag in religious

acquire non-sectarian and non-relig-

A former Vermonter, Lyman w.
Redington, must be drawing consid-
cradle satisfaction from Tammany's
downfall. Mr.. Redington represented
Rutland in the Vermont legislature in
rs, was the Democratic nominee for
Congress in 's2 and for governor in
81. Not long afterward, he removed
to New York city and went into poll
ties actively. He was prominent in
Tammany and enjoyed some official
preferment until a couple of years
ago, when his conscience refused to
allow him to support a certain scheme
in which Croker had a personal inter-
est. The boss therefore threw Mr..
Redington down. He left Tammany,
and in the last successful campaign
stumped effectively in behalf of the
Greater New York Democracy, the
new organization that is growing to be
a rival of old Tammany.

Capital VS.. Experience.

Occasionally reports come from a
town anxious TO increase its manufac-
turing business. that it has a liberal
offer from some party who asks that a
cash capital be raised to put against
his experience and possibly more or
less machinery, in the establishment
Of a new manufacturing plant. The
outlook Is pictured in glowing colors
by the promoter. If the proposition
is accepted, 80 times out of a possible
100, the liberal citizens who have put
up the money find that the enterprise
is failure. The promoter may be
honest or otherwise but the general
result is the same. The enterprising
citizens are discouraged and the
chances are that in the end the town
has really been damaged by what was
expected to prove of great benefit A
town can afford to do considerable 10
encourage new Industries, but is sell
dom warranted in putting any con-
siderable amount of capital against
experience and machinery. The
proposition is not fair or business
like, because the parties advancing the
capital take practically the entire risk
IN business of which they know but
little at the best. A town may exempt
new enterprise from taxation and do
other helpful things for it, even in
some cases to the furnishing of build
ings and possibly power. The invest
ment of capital on a partnership basis
IN an untried business is impracticable
and foolish. The only exception to
this rule is when a well established
and paying plant offers. to remove its
business to town which will provide
1t with increased capital stock and
better business facilities Mortified
