Knott & Blossoms Way Of Doing
Business.

In The hearing on the discharge Of
Knott & Closson in Burlington July
n, both bankIupts being present,
Trustee j. J. Enright further examined
the expert bookkeeper, Mr.. Pratt,
revealing surprising condition OF
affairs.
Mr.. Pratt stated that in March, 1898,
the firm was short in actual holdings
OF cotton 1900 bales, their margins
from customers that month being
s7,645.57; April. 1898, 1850 bales

ZOO bales short, margins SO, 909.2S,
total sum in margins put up by Gus
toners in ten months Of S99, 962.0S.
The firm began the new year OF
1899 with shortage OF 600 bales OF
cotton which they never owned but
had charged 10 their customers as
having been bought. At the end of
the month they had received Sl6, 1867
% in margins and owned 1900 bales
of cotton. IRON which stock they had
sold 20. $50 bales. In February they
charged their customers with 1850
bales as purchased when in reality
they purchased fewer. They gath
cred in Sls,70S.23 in the month,
however In March they were act
ually short %, $50 bales with harvest

The Work OF Lightning.

The eldest son of Frank Peten OF
sheldon Springs was injured by light
ming during the storm Tuesday after
noon, July 10. The lightning struck
his side, burning him badly and tear
Inc one shoe from his foot.
In the midst of a furious thunder
storm between 3 and 10 o'clock the
evening OF July IA the Ripley Lumber
company's steam mill at Poultney was
struck by lightning and burned 20 the
ground. The mill burned like finder
and II was by the efficient work of the
hose company that the large store
houses and immense piles of lumber
close by were not burned There was
S7l00 insurance on the building, but
the loss exceeds this amount by sever
al thousand dollars. The mill will
probably be rebuilt.
\ bolt came into the house of +. l..
Noyes In Hyde Park on an electric
light wire II entered Mr. Noyes
sleeping room and he was stunned for
several minutes, as was also his daugh-
ter, Mrs. J. NJ. stevens, who was In an
adjoining room. The bolt left the
house through the roof near the caves.
going to the ground on a large tree
which stood near. No fire was con-
nected with the bolt, but the damage
TO the house is considerable. No one
was seriously injured.
Lightning struck the barn owned by
j. Honan of Moretown, ripped a hole
in the roof, passed down one OF the
rafters and struck a horse. At first Il
was thought the horse was killed, but
be was revived and was doing duty in
the afternoon. Not much damage was
done to the barn, as ii did not catch
fire.
Two cows on the Clark farm in Ben
nington were struck and killed.
In Stowe, the barn OF Charles Sar-
gent was struck and that and another
adjoining were destroyed II is esti-
mated that Mr.. Sargent's loss is about
II 200. The barns and contents, as
well as the livestock, were insured FOR
$3.50. One helier was burned 10 death
and part Of Mr. Sargent's crop OF
hay was destroyed. His house. which
stands opposite the barns, was not in
iured.

policy, but in favor OF a referendum Oh
local option act, TO the end that the
people themselves might say directly
which system they would endorse. Nc
believer in prohibition is to be read
out of the party because he still holds
that faith. No prohibitionist is dis.
qualified for membership in the House
or Senate by the state platform. Il
every county convention in the state
should declare its preference for pro
hibition, and every member-elect in
both houses should be pronounced in
his views Tor the same policy, it would
not constitute reputation of the
state platform. That could, should
and probably would be carried out by
the reference OF a proposed license act
to the voters for their determination.
But if Clement is suspicious of the sim
certify of certain Republicans, the rem
edy is his OF making open warfare up
on them within the party and sending
men to Montpelier who are known be-
levers in license, and who will pass
lust such an act as he desires, tor refer
ence to the people. There is no neces-
sity or excuse for boiling the state
ticket to do this. Indeed, if the cause
alone is what he considers, he must
see that he is dividing his strength and
wasting his effort in raising the stand
ard of revolt. The state platform "re-
quested' the legislature to pass a GER
tain act. We see nothing to raise a
doubt that the legislature will comply.
With scarcely an exception, every
county has reiterated the state plat
form, and the senatorial nominees,
whether prohibitionists or license men,
stand committed to its execution.
Orange county alone, by very close
vote, urged a referendum on a modi-
ned prohibitory law, instead of on a
local option act, but did not instruct
its senatorial nominees to ignore the
state platform. In his own county,
Mr.. Clement sought to pledge the SEN
ators to the support OF a straight-out Ii
cense act, without referendum. in clear
TO the state platform
that he had accepted. Yet because
Orange county failed TO fully sustain
the state declaration, which, in our
opinion, was a mistake, Clement makes
it heinous offence, while he would
have gone much beyond the state plat
torn in his own county without COM
junction. To the ordinary observer,
it looks as if Clement were trying to
find means to justify his bolt, with
mighty little regard as to facts.

CLEMENTS CONVENTION.

The Clement bolt has become a real
ity. At the license-local option con-
vention at Burlington last week, steps
were taken that mean nothing less
than a deep and wide breach between
the old Republican party organization
of Vermont and those who refuse,
in this juncture, to be bound by party
rules and precedents. A ticket was
nominated and a platform adopted
in opposition to the regular ticket and
platform, and an appeal will be made
directly TO the voters. The Hon.
Percival w. Clement of Rutland heads
the boiling ticket, with Frank w Agan
of Ludlow in second place. The balance
OF the ticket is the same as that of the
regular Republican nominees. The
platform adopted essays a justification
OF the independent movement on the
grounds Of irregularity in the canvass
for the governorship, unfair treat
ment at the convention and insincerity
on the part OF the controllers OF the
convention in the stand taken on the
local option question, as revealed by
later Developments.
The Burlington convention in itself
was not an especially awe-inspiring
assemblage 1t lacked the antic-
ipated dimensions, and while it was
earnest and harmonious, those who
took part in it did not seem particu-
larly sanguine Of the outcome, or even
hopeful OF final success. Many OF the
moving spirits of the former Clement
canvass, especially from Windham
and Windsor counties, were conspic-
uous by their absence. Not few of
the delegates were either out-and-
out Democrats, or Democrats who have
become Republicans since the Clement
movement enlisted their spmpathies.
But, aside from these, there were not
few who nave hitherto acted with
the Republican party. but have now
renowned it to follow Clement and
his cause to the end There were
men who have not generally been
prominent in party councils, but not
from lack OF loyalty or personal
ability-rather from disinclination.
Among them, and fairly representa-
tive OF large element in the Clement
following throughout the state, were
the young men, who have taken the
lead from the beginning and been the
most radical in their views.
There was some division of opinion
regarding the makeup Of the ticket.
The plan Of naming a full list OF Off
GERS and keeping the movement free
from all entangling alliances had some
support. Others favored a fusion
with the Democrats. giving the latter
the subordinate places, if they would
endorse Clement. still others, who
proved to be in the majority. urged
that the regular party nominees Tor
state treasurer. state auditor and sec.
rotary of state be endorsed, and this

Brattleboro has authorized the trus-
tees OF its high school to establish a
business course in connection with the
school, open to pupils during their
regular course of instruction. This is
in line with modern ideas of practical
education, suited to the needs ofactive
life, and the idea has considerable
merit Where a student is able to
avail himself of the privilege, it seems
to us, however, that the full academic
course is preferable, to be supple
mented by such special instruction for
the requirements of the pupil as viii
best tit him Tor the probable sphere he
win occupy. While it is often the
case that a students head is crammed
with lore almost certain TO be of little
value to him, there is the opposite
extreme to be guarded against, OF
ministering merely to the materials
tic side and closing the doors that
might, in some cases. lead the way to
lives OF great good and unsupported
usefulness. Ordinarily, the high
school graduate is still young enough
to take up special instruction, and
quite often is too young to make much
use Of technical knowledge such as a
business course would give.
