Mr.. Clement In the Field.

Percy w Clement has announced his
willingness to run as candidate for gov
ernor OF Vermont on a local option
ticket and a mass convention to place
him in the field will be held in Burlington,
July 16 The call for the convention will
be issued by the Local Option League OF
Vermont. The ticket will be a local Cd.
ton ticket, independent of all party
lines, and it is believed that full state
ticket will be made at that convention.
Mr.. Clement claims he was led to take
this step by the demands for his candi-
dacy all over the state and by the feeling
that the referendum plank in the republi-
can platform would amount to nothing.
1t is too earlyin the campaign to make
any predictions but it can be safely said
Mr.. Clement will put up big fight for
the govcrnorship. Some of the old-line
democrats do not favor endorsing his
candidacy, but he undoubtedly expects
W g. IuS LhOsl VI INC uetnOCTatlC votes
even 1t that party has ticket of Their
own. His own paper, the Rutland Her
aid, says he already has a majority ii
four counties and good fighting chance
for the majority in six more. 1t is under
stood that the four counties he already
claims are Rutland, Windsor, Chtten
den and Franklin and two of them con
tain the largest citiesin the state, Rut
land and Burlington. If the republicans
in those counties support the regular
ticket Mr.. Clement cannot carry one o.
them and no one knows this better than
Mr.. Clement himself.

Successful Home seekers Excursions.

In an interview yesterday with lead
ing official of the Santa Fe passenger
department. he stated that the late win
ter and early spring homeseekers' excur-
sions to the Southwest had been re-
markedly we'll patronlzed. Hundreds OF
persons took advantage OF the lowrates.
While some merely went for visit among
friends, many were so delighted with the
country that they will soon return to
settle on a farm, engage in mercantile
business, run a stock ranch or pick out
location for their boys.
The greatest rush was TO Oklahoma;
but Kansas received large share OF
travel, and a goodly number were at
tracted bv the rich mines and irrigated
lands of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona
and California. The Pecos, Arkansas
and San Joaquin Valleys attracted great
interest, and several large colonies will
settle there. The Santa Fe freight de-
partment reports an unusually heavy
traffic in emigrant movables.
Similar excursions were run over the
Santa Fe t first and third Tuesdays of
May. The round-trip rate was one
fare plus So 1t is expected that simi-
lar rates will continue for the summer
months S W. Manning, New England
agent, 332 Washington ST., Boston.

Wet Weather Crops.

| The continued unreasonable weather
threatens many Vermont dairymeu with
a partial failure OF the corn crop, and
many are querying what they may do to
provide sufficient supply of forage for
their COWS during the coming winter. 1t
is now too late to plant corn in most
portions OF the state with much hope OF
maturing it. If some small variety OF
Canada corn be planted on exception
a ly early pieces, and if frosts hold OFT late
in the fall, success may be attained.
The chances are, however, against rather
than in favor of late planting on the gen
crafty of farms.
AS make-shitts in this contingency the
Vermont Experiment station advises
that corn be sown thickly, broadcast,
with view of haying it; or that millet,
either the Hungarian or japanese varie-
ties, be grown.
The sowing Of corn for hay is not an
uncommon practice i'll the Northwest.
Corn hay makes very nutritious and well
relished forage, and considerable
amount OF digesuble food may be grown
III tnlS way. Inc cutting vi COIu nay 10
somewhat difficult but not impossible in
the sunny days OF late August and early
September.
The millets are we'll known plants
which make a quick, rank growth of
fairly nutritious forage. They may be
either put in the silo hayed, or fed green.
AS rule, however, mlIet silage is not
SUCCESS. There are few farms in Vermont
where Hungarian or japanese millet may
not be sown and brought to the proper
stage for haying in sixty, or at the moss
seventy days. Milet should be cut be-
fore the seeds begin to harden and before
the stalks begin to get woody. When
the plant reaches this stage of its growth
the hay is unpalatable and yields poor
returns. About half bushel of seed may
be used to the acre.
1t should be said once more that these
procedures are simply make-shitts and
unsatisfactory as compared with corn
grown in normal year. Many Yer.
mont farmers. however, are up against
hard proposition this year, and cannot
do as we'll as if nature had favored them.

1t is to its everlasting shame that Con-
gress adjourned without doing anything
to relieve the financial crisis now in Cuba.
President Roosevelt did his part towards
the new republic, hut corporation in
fuences were too strong. The New York
Times says it is the blacklist act OF greed
and perfdy in the history of the United
States, and the New York Tribune init
mates that it may cost the republican
party its majority in the next Congress.
Besides being false to our neighbor, the
democratic party has been given a cam
paign issue which they will work for all
it is worth.

Just before Frank S. Streeter OF Con-
cord, who is a former st. Johnsbury boy,
sailed for Europe he allied himself with
the high license men in the Granite state
and urged the repeal of the prohibitory
law. He also said that he had no politi.
cal honors in view and was not candi-
date for the United States senate. But
some Of the New Hampshire papers take
this with grain of salt and predict that
a big fight will soon be on between DR..
Gallinger and the able railroad lawyer.
Senator Gallinger would naturally favor
prohibition and has had remarkably
successful public career, but Mr.. Streeter
has a host Of friends and is generally con.
sidered as the representative of interests
which exert powerful influence in state
politics.

Peaceful Scenes in the Philippines.

Captain Charles Herman Paine's I'm
terestinG Letter From the Island oil
NegrOs.
The Baltimore American of June &c
published an extract from a private let
ter written by Capt. Charles Herman
Paine, Of the Goth U. S. Infantry from
the island of Negroes. Our readers will
be interest ed in this letter as Capt.
Paine is a grandson of the late |. L.
MeClary of Peacham and spent two
weeks in Peacham last summer. He
sailed on the transport Sheridan with
his regiment some time ago and anchored
in Manila Bay on May I, the anniversary
of Admiral Dewey's great victory, The
following is the extract from the letter.
l am back once more in the Philip
pine Islands. After a delightful voyage
covering 81 days we anchored in Manila
Bay May 1. None of us was allowed
to go ashore on account of cholera. AT
ter remaining there two days to receive
our orders, man, ETC., we sailed again
for the Southern IsIands,-Cebu, Negroes
and Panay-where we relieved the Sixth
and Nineteenth Regiments of Infantry.
Our first stop was at Cebu, where reg
mental headquarters was established
and where we left two companies and
the band.
The next stop was at Dumaguet, so
miles south and on the southwest coast
of the island of Negroes, where they drop
ped me with my company. The only
other station on the islands Bacood, on
the northwest coast. AS we approach
ed the town from the sea it
looked like a little paradise and every.
one congratulated me. In fact, it is one
of the very prettiest towns l have seen
in the archipelago. 1t has prosperous
looking business streets, well built res
licences and profusion of green foliage.
My headquarters is large, fine house,
enved by every other American here, of
which there are II or Is, perhaps, in
Guiding several school teachers.
Our transport, the Sheridan, lay here
till 10 p M, taking on board the COM
pany formerly stationed here, and then
the whistle was blown a full hour to
call on board the last of the soldiers,
who were saying farewell to their
friends.
The conditions here are entirely different
from anything | have seen elsewhere.
Everything is peaceful and quiet and no
hostility to Americans is in evidence.
There is civil government in success
full operation. This town is head.
quarters for the constabu'ary, a sort of
provincial police, numbering in this dis
trict $50. Then we have some 10 or II
village police. 1t is new and delight
full experience to be relieved of all respon-
sibility in the government and in civil
affairs. Although we are far off out of
the way and mail will be long in reach
ing US, still we are fortunate to be sta
toned out of the cholera district in a
high, healthy and peaceful location We
secured native cook and two other
servants from the officers who lett here,
and they are doing well. We shall soon
be comfortably settled, and do not see
that my duties will be materially differ
ent from those in any army post in the
United States.

The Work of the Congress

In his closing speech Mr.. Cannon,
chairman OF the House committee on an.
preparations, declared that the session
was closing with more important legis-
lation to its credit than any session of
congress for several decades. 1t has, he
said, passed more public acts and more
private acts than any congress that ever
assembled i'll the history of the republic.
Notable among the important enact
ments which it has passed are:
An act to repeal warrevepue taxation
An act providing for the construction
OF an isthmian canal.
An act continuing in force the laws
heretofore passed tor the exclusion of
Chinese laborers.
An act making oleomargarne and
other imitation dairy products subject to
the laws OF any state or territory into
winch they are transported and impos-
ing revenue tax thereon
An act providing a civil government
for the Philippines.
An act to provide revenue for the Philp-
pines.
An act to promote the efficiency of the
revenue.cutter service.
An act providing for the extension of
| charters OF national banks.
An act apprOpriating receipts from
sales of public lands to the construction
OF irrigation works for the reclamation
OF arid lands.
An act to provide for permanent cen
sus office.
An act for the relief of owners Of prop
erty taken by the military forces of the
United States, and
An act tor therelief of bona tide settlers
in forest reserves.
In the postothce act are provisions for
| the permanent organization and effective
administration of the rural free delivery
service.
More money, he said, had been carried
to the sinking fund in the past two Years
than IN the nine previous years aygre
eating more than $113,OOO,OOO He
submitted a table showing that the an
preparations for ordinary expenses OF the
government payable during the fiscal
year 1903, aggregate $685., 500, 7O5 and
together with the sums carried under per-
manent appropriations, and exclusive of
the amount required by the sinking fund.
make a total of $G65, 423, 925. In the
llght OF past experience, he said, this en-
tire sum will never be expended, but will
probably be reduced in the neighborhood
OF 10 per cent; and as the revenues Of the
government estimated on the basis OF
tie revenue reduction legislation enacted
at this session, amount to 5000, 52O,63O
the appropriations will be less than the
revenues by something like forty millions.
This IS certainly pretty fair showing.

There was no call for Mr.. Clements
entrance to the political arena and the
step was ill-advised. The referendum
was inserted into the party platform
after he had seen it and approved of its
high license leanings and he got all that
be asked for and more than he expected.
OF course some of Mr.. Clements most
ardent admirers will support him, but
we believe the mass of the republicans Of
Vermont will stand by the party nomi-
nee and vote for Gen, J. G. Mccullough.

SENATORS ARE ENTERTAINED
President Gives Dinner to Leading
Republicans Who Are Favorable
to Cuban Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The president
tonight gave a dinner to about a dozen
leading republican senators favorable to
Cuban reciprocity and discussed with them
the ways and means Of securing a reduc-
tion Of the duty on Cuban products in
order that the pledges made to Cuba may
be redeemed. Among those at the dinner
were Senators Allison, Aldrich, Hale, Lodge,
Spooner and Plat. Secretary Root also was
one of-the guests.
The president. it can be said, is stead
fast in his determination that in some
form or other and at the earliest oppor-
tunity there shall be secured to the new
republic OF Cuba a substantial reduction OF
the import tariff on her exports to the
United States, so that her people may feel
that this country has kept every promise
made them and have done all that could be
fairly expected to assure permanence and
prosperity to their newly established gov
ernment. How or when the result will be
obtained is a matter that the president must
leave to future Developments, but it can
be stated by authority that the administra-
ton will continue unremitting in its en-
deavors until It accomplishes Cuban reel
| procity in some form or other. 1t has not
been definitely decided whether this can be
brought about better and earlier by a bill
or by a treaty, nor whether good judgment
and sound policy require that the matter
20 over for a time. The methods and OPP
portunities were canvassed carefully to-
night.
