publicity it was thought that little could

The st. Adams Messenger calls halt
on the expenditure of over 81, 900 in a
year from the state treasury for bounties
on noxious animals. Nine out of ten men
will shoot a fox. lynx or a bear whenever
they have the opportunity, and hedge
hogs do not endanger the public safety
or interest to the extent that demands a
bounty. If the money now paid out in
bounties was used at the state hatchery
and in stocking lakes and streams with
lingering trout and salmon the state
would reap a benefit that would be APP

There is a beautiful consistency I'm the
declaration Of the Windhari county Dem
ocrats condemning "the policy Of the
Vermont Republicans in iecting young
and inexperienced attorneys to hold
important executive offices" in view Of
the fact that their ticket two years ago
contained the name Of the oungest prac-
ticing lawyer in the county 1T that time
as a nominee for states attorney But
then, the Democrats Of the county have
had examples of consistency Of a similar
kind both in state and rational Demo-
cratic conventions, so that the little fell
lows in the county convention may be
excused.

Do Not Begrudee the Pensioners

Commissioner Ware of the pension bu-

that the total number of pensioners is
now about 1894 ,545. During the month of
May 5000 died, and soon the monthly av-
erage will reach 5000. If it We're not for
the widows of old soldiers the list would
sink with economical rapidity. But in
any case the government that was saved
by these pensioners cannot begrudge
what it does for them. They deserve

a percentage of their regular product. The
expense of the strike will eventually fall
upon the general public, which will be
made to suffer to a greater or less eN-
