u. v. MI, Freshman Drowned.

Nelson P. Bond of Burlington,
treasurer of the freshman class of the
University of Vermont, was drowned
in Lake Champlain at Wilcox's dock
in the northern part of the city at Z
O'Clock May 26. The sad event
came as the direct result of the in
tense rivalry which has existed for
some time between the two lower
classes of the university and will, it
is thought, put an end to such rivalry
for all time. The freshmen were to
hold banquet at Plattsburg, N. Y.
and Bond was captured by the sopho-
mores.. He was in the custody of
Sophomores Ross and Percival in a
boat when he jumped out to swim
ashore and was drowned. Az inquest
was held and Ross and Percival were
dismissed.

Gen. Mccullough is not enough of
Vermonter to have ever had any,
thing to do with the schools, highways
and other ordinary affairs of the COM
munity where he makes his summer
nome. 1t is not nown that he ever
held town or local public office in
Bennington. He is not there enough
OF the year to attend to such matters,
even if the people had regarded him
as closely enough identified with them
to entrust him with such modest but
important duties.
Gen. Mccullough is not enough of a
Vermonter SO that if the whole state
OF Vermont were absolutely wiped out
it would seriously affect him. He
would still be prosperous and
wealthy railroad magnate in New
York City.
Gen. Mccullough is pleasant and
agreeable man. We wish circum-
stances had led him to cast his whole
lot with us. But his own preferences
and the advancement of his own for
tune have made him a New Yorker.
We find no fault with him that he
found it more profitable to do business
in New York City or that he prefers
metropolitan to country life in the
winter. He has right to do that,
and having done it he showed his
good sense by keeping a summer
home among US.
When after thirty years of the kind
of life he has spent in Vermont his
immediate neighbors and his close
friends still think and speak of him as
a New Yorker, what else can the peo-
pie of the state call him?
Vermont rejected the ambition Eof
that large hearted and large Drained
man, Frederick Billings of Woodstock,
TO oe governor, because his main busi-
ness interests and principal home were
In New York, though he was born
and brought up in this state and had
for time at least lived it's simple life.
Is Gen. Mccullough a better Yer
monter than was Frederick Billings?-

What They Have Done For Vermont.
When Mr.. Proctor became president
and general manager of the Vermont
Marble Company in 1889 the business
employed 1888 men. In the last 13
years Mr.. Proctor has doubled the
business, until it now employs in the
state of Vermont over 1000 men and
has pay roll amounting last month
to 1,762.75, and annually to. nearly
$1,OOO,OOO.
Gen. Mccullough through his wife
inherited large property in this state,
the larger part of which he has sold
and invested the proceeds outside the
state.-Erchanqe

The Mccullough papers are placing
Rutland city for Clement merely to
show that the latter leads Proctor in
delegates thus far chosen. These
papers may be right in their classifi-
cation of the Rutland vote, but not yet.
The legal caucus in Rutland has not
yet been held. II Mr.. Clement is
relying upon the caucus held a few
days ago to give him the delegation
we believe he is leaning on broken
reed. The state committee will
promptly settle that question against
him.
1t can hardly be successfully main
tanned we think that signature
placed on document under a mis-
apprehension is legal and not revoc-
able. 1t certainly must be revocable
before the document has been either
negotiated or used. The man whose
name, under misapprehension, ap-
peared on the first call and made the
majority of the committee on that
call ordered his name erased before
the call was printed. Subsequently
full meeting of the committee was
called and the members voted seven
to four to hold the legal caucus on
June 6. The delegates then chosen
will be the recognized delegates

teen terms of Office. Troy has had
the senatorship for five terms, while
Westheld has not had it for even one
term. In the present campaign both
towns ask for the Office. That the
people of the county recognize the
Justice of Westfeld's claim and appre-
clate the excellent qualities of West
neld's candidate, Mr. Bryant, is shown
oy the many assurances of support
which the candidate has received
from different parts of the county,
and by the great probability that he
will be successfully nominated and
elected to the Office which he seeks.
MIR. Bryant is a staunch temperance
man. He refrains from the use of
alcoholic liquors, tobacco, tea and
coffee. If elected senator, he can be
depended upon to sustain the pro-
hibitory liquor law.

half a page. All three articles were

Raise Beef for Profit.

The editor of the Register has long
contended that beef raising was profitable
in Vermont. Many instances have been
cited TO prove this. where individuals
had made beef farming pay. Now Prof.
Sanborn of the New Hampshire expert
mental station is advocating the same
thing. He says 'that beef raising can
be made profitable In New England. The
main reason for this belief is that the
western plains no longer furnish the free
pasture for cattle that they have in the
past. The substance of such possibility
is of course that beef will never be cheap
again, that like lumber, the price is up
and will stay there. All students of
economics agree lumber prices will per-
manently high for natural reasons, and
there is no doubt the same thing Will
soon be true Of beef if II is not so already.
'ln the past the wide stretches of
government land furnished free pastur-
age for millions of cattle, but as the
government land has been gradually
taken up, it now becomes necessary for
the western cattlemen TO either buy land
or largely reduce the size of their herds.
New England is not the best farming
section in the world but it certainly can
be made good grazing country, Cattle
raised here are nearer the export points
and in some other ways saving can be
effected.
"Higher prices for beef may be boon
to New England after all and the settle
ment of the abandoned farm problem,
by the way, is not so much of a problem
as some of the wiseacres would make it,
Farmers should raise their calves re.
claim the back pastures and farms and
sell beef. 1t will surely pay better re-
turns for the capital invested and labor
expended, than any other branch of agri-
culture.
