Factions Don't Pay.

The total vote in Vermont in the
state election the Ist instant was Co.,
$50, against a total vote of 54,337
for Governor in 1898, Of 56,2I6 for
President in 1900, and of 63,S28 for
President in 1896. In other words,
the vote in the state election in Yer
mont this fall was the largest ever
cast in the state.
Mccullough, the regular Repub
lican candidate for Governor, re-
ceived 3I,788 votes; Clement, the
boiling Republican candidate, re-
ceived 29,I77; the Democratic candi-
date, 1900, and the Prohibition can
didate, 2,5a5. The vote for the two
Republican candidates is 5o,o65,
larger by 1900 than McKinley's
vote in 1900, and larger by 5000 than
his vote in 1896, while the Demo
cratic vote is smaller by 5000 than
Bryan's vote in 1900.
And yet because of this split in the
Republican party the Democrats
gained five seats in the Senate, and
the straight Republicans lost forty
two seats in the House. In Ver-
mont these changes in the Legislature
count for little, because the straight
Republicans still have an over
whelming majority in both houses,
but the result shows how Democrats
even in Vermont profit by Repub.
lican division and through the SUBJ
ordinating of party and state issues
to local and personal questions.

military restored order. "Religious"
riots are rare in this age ofthe world.
1t is questionable to call such demon
STATIONS religious riots. The Jew
is not prosecuted on account of his
religion. No one cares what re-
ligion man cherishes. That is
question exclusively between the in
dividual and his Maker. Other men
are not interested or influenced by
that sentiment. But the question of
how the Jews, or any other people,
conduct themselves with reference
to those with whom they come in
contact is a matter that seriously and
intimately concerns them. If the
methods used are displeasing, those
methods are resented, and the PEG pie
using them prosecuted.

Progress in the Philippines.

The American in the Philippines
is infuslng something of northern
vigor into the processes of govern
ment in these tropical islands. These
islands were always infested with Ia
drones and pirates-robbers living in
the mountains with frequent descents
upon the towns and plunderers that
lived in one island and made forays
to other islands by boat. The Span
iards never succeeded in reducing
these handed rascals. They
simply endeavored to defend them
selves against them. Under the
American system these mountain
ladrones are being persistently and
vigorously hunted down. In some
places the region of country where
these ladrones are known to exist is
entirely surrounded by the constabu-
larry and the fellows corralled. With
in few weeks a band of fifty has
been destroyed, nearly half Of whom
were killed. The rest surrendered.
AS to sea pirates, they no longer
venture from their hiding places.
The waters are thoroughly policed.
There is progress under the direc-
ton of the restless energy of the
Yankee in the Philippines.

Looks that Way.

w. J. Bryan calls the delegates to
the Democratic convention of this
state ga set of blunderers and politi-
cal cowards," because they repudi-
ated free silver and had not the cour-
age to declare for the gold standard.
He makes the assertion that the plat
form and candidate for governor
were dictated by the stalwart Re-
publicans. We have read the plat
form over again since we saw Mr..
Bryan's declaration and have to con-
fess that this time he seems to be
about half right. At least the in
ference is justified that the Stalwarts
suggested the platform, since their
expressed sentiments harmonic with
the declarations enunciated in the
platform.

Last Sunday, Sept. Il, was the
anniversary of the demise of Presi-

The "outs" in politics have some
advantage over the SINS especially
when they are long time out.
They can say what they please, for
it don't count. Notice the Demo-
cratic platform of this state this year
and compare it with the enunciation
of principles in former state plat
forms of the same party. One can
see no resemblance in this with for
mer platforms of the party. In fact,
comparing this platform with the
general sentiment of the Democratic
party, it is, as someone has asserted,
ga fraud and asham." In respect to
the primary election principle the
platform this year is against it, while
four years ago the Democratic state
convention declared in favor of it.

The Democrats endeavor to make
great deal to their advantage out
of the fact that the necessaries of life
are much higher than they were
four years ago. 1t is true that those
who buy pay more. On the other
hand those who have these neces-
saries to sell, those who produce
them, get more than they did for
such products four years ago. The
farmer received too little for what
he raised in 1896. Now he receives
a fair compensation for his work.
He certainly-and there are great
many of him--will recognize the
fact that prosperity comes his way.

SOUTHERN FARM OPPORTUNITIES

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
an interesting article in a recent edi-
ton of the Southern Planter. The CEN
trail idea of it-and one which is so
patent as to need no arguments that
the farmers of this section of the
country do not make the most of their
opportunities. With favorable seasons.
an abundance of moisture, good lands
and fair transportation facilities to the
markets, they neglect to take advant-
age of their fortunate situation in the
raising of such products as the mar
kets demand. He urges them to farm
on scientific principles, and to pay
particular attention to grazing lands
and stock In one place he saws:
There is a great demand just now for
horses. just such horses as the South
ern people know so we'll how to pro-
duce and train. The world cannot get
as many of them as it wants. There is
no reason why the South should not
supply early spring lambs for the
Northern markets. and the dairy COW
should have place on many more
farms than she now has. Your people
are famed for their fine hams. and the
bacon hog should be raised more extern
sively than it is among YOU"
Every word of which is true. We re-
ferred day or two ago to the fact
that in the last two years or so Great
Britain had purchased more than II 900
horses and mules in the United States.
at an average price of $140 to $3.50. With
the exception of Kentucky and Mis-
souri,. which are rather Middle West
ern than Southern states. very few
states of the South received any of
the money paid for these animals; and
yet Georgia and Alabama and the Car
olinas can raise as good horses and
mules as any other section. We have
tens of thousands of acres of land ad-
mirably suited to grazing, on which
the grass is green practically the whole
year nevertheless we import our NUT
ton, beef butter, etc. from the North
and the West. SO far from having a
surplus to sell to other sections of the
country, we actually do not produce
enough 10 supply our own wants. Is
there any good reason for it? Do we
find it profitable to raise cheap cotton
with which to purchase provisions from
the North and West? If the North and
West, with their long and severe win
ters, find it profitable to raise provis-
ions. stock and the like. could we not
take even larger profits from the same
business? Our long open season would
certainly make the expenses less and
the productiveness of our stock greater
