A DISASTROUS DROUGHT.

While the people in different parts of
Vermont are put to great Inconvenience
and in some instances have suffered
material loss as q result of the drought,
the damage in this State is small as
compared with that sustained in some

October. has prevailed throughout
the Atlantic coast and the Gulf States,
and as matter OF fact its influence has
been felt in the greater part of the east
crn half of the country
The lack Of water for power which
has made itself felt in this section Of
Vermont, has probably caused more dis
tress in OHIO. Kentucky and Tennessee
than in any Other section Of the country.
It is also stated that in the Ohio valley
tho wells, springs and small streams have
dried up. and tho railroad trains carry
tank cars To supply their locomotives,
being unable to depend on the usual
water stations. This is Il condition DO
yond anything that has been conceived
of in Vermont. and yet there is no tell
| ing what we may have to face If pres
ent conditions continue during II pro-
tractcd period.
| Up to the present time, however, it has
been deemed advisable to exercise extra
precautions in relation to the use of the
public supply Of water in number OF
Villages in this state, and it is easy to

1t might appear from this that Cuba

WHAT OUR NEIGhBORS SAY
The investigation Of state Institutions
Considered from Different p"i"'-
Of View.
(From the Rutland News.)

The News fully expected and discount
cd in advance the following comment:
THE Messenger cannot understand why
the Rutland News should seek to mini
|mize the Importance of the report OF
the legislative committee that nvesti-
gated state institutions on the ground
that men at fault in their management
were merely doing what is being done
more or less in public ONCE everywhere
else" But it confesses its surprise at
receiving 1t from the St Adams con-
Temporary, which is so very generally
logical and which weighs matters in their
proper relation to each other.
The News has not mnimized the i'm
portance of this report Let 1t repeat:
The report makes it apparent that there
is a desire. if not uccd, for further
and more thorough probing into the man
agcment of State institutions" '"The
findings OF the committee indicate clear
" that il has been. a serious mistake
for previous Legislatures not to carry out
tho law providing tor such thorough SIT
ing of the financial affairs Of the state. "
