business and investment for
1888 .................. ........ $6GG9, 1854. II
What is the reason Vermont does not
make such a showing as this? There is no
doubt whatever that the summer tourist
business in Vermont has increased many
fold in the past ten years, but aside from
the systematic efforts of the railroads to
induce summer travel, there appears to
be no organized effort put forth in this
direction. Thus far most of the work of
exploiting Vermont as a tourist State has
consisted of newspaper talk" and In Yer
mont newspapers at that so that It did not
get circulation of any consequence outside
OF the State.
There is n dollar in this business II the
State will only go after 1t. Even with the
development it has thus far reached, the
careful inquirer after facts will be sur
prised to learn of the incalcuable benefit
the summer tourist business has been to
families and communities. Family after
FAMILY has lifted the mortgage from the
old home farm by taking In summer
boarders. and, not only that, but year by

Ludicrous Exhibition OF Tweedle
dun and Tweedledse.


One of the curious developments Of the
present political campaign is the filing of
nominations for Windsor county offices,
by the license element.
All the regular nominees of the late re-
publican county convention are ra-
nominated In these nomination papers but
under the title of the high license local
option party
on the face of the fact, it appears that
our radical license friends are willing to
have straight republicans vote for their
candidates, but are not willing to affiliate
In any measure with the party.
1t would seem that the results of the
county convention ought to be satisfac-
tory to the license men, inasmuch as they
were In full control of the convention. All
the senatorial nominees declared them
selves In favor of the passage of a high
license local option referendum bill. which
was all that the license campaiRners had
asked for up TO that time; and one OF the
nominees. Mr.. Howard of Ludlow, de-
clared that he would vote for a straight
license law without any referendum pro-
vision. In addition to that the conVen-
ton emphatically turned down a resolu-
ton which would have instructed the
senators not to vote for a straight license
law without referendum.
To this extent the county convention did
in fact bolt the platform of the State con-
NeHtloIl, tHouBH AT the same time ADOPT
ing formal resolution endorsing that
platform.
Naturally a large element of republi-
cans, who favor prohbitory law. while
perfectly willing to submit to the test Of
a poular vote, are dissatisfied with the re-
suits OF the convention; and II any ele-
ment had reason for boiling. it would be
these regular republicans. But they did
not bolt.
What reason the Clemenites can have for
boiling the republican name is hard to
discover, unless 1t be that the boiling
habit is becoming ludicrously chronic with
them.

MYSTERY IN THE DEATH
OF ROCK RIVER FISH

Dead fish in large numbers are re-
ported along Rock river as far up as
Dixon. This fact knocks out the
theory that the fish are killed by the
blasting at the mouth of the Henne-
pin canal feeder near Sterling. If
this were the cause of their death it
would be impossible for them to- get
so far up the river, as they could not
float up stream.
Another explanation is that disease
exists among the fish-a theory based
on the fact that the great majority
of the dead fish are red fish. very
few carp being seen also. No game
fish of any kind have been found.
Five millions wall-eyed pike have
been placed i'm Rock river near
GAINESVILLE and are now headed toward
the Mississippi. The planting took
place 40 miles north of GAINESVILLE
near Fort Atkinson. Wis. and was the
result of an order from the fish com
