manche county returned by the coun-
ty clerk would not allow the bonds to
be purchased by the commission, be-
cause the Indebtedness of the county

was therefore largely increased by
State Treasurer Kelly and Secretary of

just let the bonds in.
That Attorney General Coleman ov-

VERMONT.

On the morning of the day on which
the Vermont state election took place
the New York World discussed the
probable results as follows:
From Esopus by way of the New
York Times comes a report that Judge
Parker's friends attach no particular
significance to the election returns from
Vermont. According to this report the
Democratic managers do not think that
much of a fight has been made in the
state. ana that the sending of orators
alone is not regarded as an aggressive
campaign.
In one sense they are right. Vermont
is more or less of a political supersti-
tion, and this is a bad year for super
stitions- There used to be one which
held that no vice president succeeding
TO the presidency by accident could OBJ
tain nomination for that Office. Mr.
Roosevelt did not leave much of that
particular superstition after he held his
personally conducted convention at
Chicago. Many years ago politicians
were fond of saying. AS Maine goes so
goes the Union Nobody in these days
attaches much Importance to Maine as
a political barometer.
The superstition of Vermont still
fingers. however. because it has so hap
pened that Republican apathy and dis
affection in that state have conceded
with a more general apathy and disaf-
lection. This was the case in 1876, in
1854 and in 1892.
But no politician with sense enough
to seek power would regard the Yer
mont elections as conclusive of any
thing. If the Republican plurality to-
day is in excess of $4,000 the RepubIi-
can managers will interpret the vote as
evidence that there are no signs at
present of a Parker landslide. They
will not consider the election as settled
or relax their efforts. If the plurality
falls below q. 900 the Democrats will
believe that the swing has set in
toward Judge Parker and that their eff
forts have already accomplished re-
suits.
But both parties Will be working
Just as hard tomorrow as though no
election had been held In Vermont"

father on July 25 of last year. The body

The protective tariff is performing its
work of keeping out foreign goods so
well that the customs receipts with the
aid of internal taxes are no longer suffi-
cient to meet the expenses of the gov
eminent. In the two months of the
fiscal year that began July the deficit
in the government revenues amounts to
nearly s25, OoO, 900. If the governments
expenditures continue to exceed it's re-
ceipts in the same ratio. the end of the
present fiscal year will show a deficit
of $3.50, 000, 900. The deficit in the two
months from July 1 to September is
the result of increased expendi-
lures and decreased receipts
from customs, the expenditures be-
ing SIG, OOO. 900 more and the customs re-
ceipts 1000, 900 less than for the cor
responding two months of the preceding
fiscal year. Dutiable imports have been
falling off and there is as yet little ap-
pearance of an early improvement.
Should the deficit at the end of the
fiscal year reach the figure stated, 1T
will exceed the available amount now
in the treasury.

IN SEPTEMBER

A meeting Of loggers operating in
the Puget Sound district will be held
in Seattle next Saturday to decide
upon conditions under which a re-
opening Of all camps Shall be ordered.
Steps will be taken TO protect the
standing timber against fire and to
prevent any work that is liable to
start eonflagration.
Thus far comparatively little dam
age has been done to green timber
Where the fires, burning over logged
off lands or fallen timber, have
reached the green trees, they have
stopped within 100 or 500 yards from
the point where the fire entered
Timber that has been scorched in this
manner is killed, but Is not injured

of time.
1t Is said by prominent loggers
that, in any event, the meeting on
Saturday will decide upon closed
camps until into September. Aside
from the danger Of forest fires. dry
weather makes logging operations
difficult from the fact that logs are
hard to handle over a thorouhly dried
