AN UNMUZZLED PRESS.

The spectacle of the Philadelphia
bosses scurrying TO obtain bail in antici-
patton Of arrest on criminal charges is
an eloquent vindication of the power Of
an untrammelled press.
About six years ago Thomas b. Wanna
maker purchased the Philadelphia
North american for the express purpose
Of making a campaign against the
corruptionists of Pennsylvania politics
All the power of that venal political
oligarchy was exerted to destroy the
North american. The services OF the
legislature were enlisted: the governor
nipulated. but the North imeriedH con-
tinued its exposures.
Day after day, week after week,
month after month, year after year,
that newspaper has pursued the thieves
who were fattenng off the people of
PHILADELPHIA and Pennsylvania. Other
newspapers joined m the crusade;
dormant public sentiment was finally
awakened, and Philadelphia to-day is
well on the way toward moral and
political regeneration. II is safe To say
that the good work will not stop now
until the state government itself has
been purged and purified.
The efforts of the Philadelphia ring
sters to muzzle the newspapers have re-
suited in disaster. Similar efforts in
New York have been uniformly unsuc-
cessful. Where there is even one news
paper that cannot be influenced or in
undated, the way is open for the ex-
preston of public sentiment which

Many farmers do not realize that the
longer grass is left after blooming the
poorer the quality of the hay will be.
Early-cut grass is very palatable for
stock. Much nutrition and valuable
part of the grass is concentrated in the
seed. If it is allowed to get ripe this is
wanted. Some think it economy to let
the seed get ripe, so as to reseed the
ground. This is wrong. lfthe plant is
cut off before bearing seed it will start
up and try to reproduce itself again. The
second shoot is stronger if it is cut be-
fore it reaches maturity. Early-cut hay
is not only better for stock, but it i'm
proves meadows as well.

Hampered by Grafters.

p. j. Halvosa Of Barre, state organizer
for the American Federation of Labor,
was in the city this morning, says the
Montpelier Journal, while on his way to
Mortified to solicit advertising for the
year book to be issued by the Federation.
His work has been hampered somewhat
by the operations Of some advertising
grafters Who have been raising money
in different parts of the state by OBJ
tanning it IN advance on contracts for
advertising which they represented was
for this book. There were six in the
gang originally, but two are now doing

The Federation is to do all that it can
to make good the damage done by these

as he is well known in this vicinity,
their work will not interfere with his

THE YOUNG MEMS CLUB.
Appeal for Aid to Insure It's Being
Continued.

About q year ago number of our
citizens who believed there were many
young men in our city that were in
need of suitable place where could
pleasantly and profitably spend their
leisure hours, organized young mems
club. They rented a fine suite Of rooms
in the Worthen block, which were adapt
ed in every way for the object desired,
and fitted them up with piano, papers,
magazines, pool table and other games,
which usually interest young men, and
planned for other things which would be
beneficial in the future. 1t was hoped
that by this time there would be enough
members to, in large measure, pay
the running expenses of the club, but
in this there is a serious disappointment,
so much so that at recent meeting OF
the directors OF the club the matter OF
disseminating was discussed.
Ii was decided, however, that before
definite action should be taken a special
effort would be made to enlarge the
membership and to secure contributions
sufficient to warrant continuance OF
the work. The ministers of the different
churches have kindly consented to pre-.
sent the situation of the club to their
congregations tomorrow, and large
committee win make a canvass for new
members during the coming week. Should
these efforts fail OF success, the clut
will doubtless be abandoned, which We
believe would be serious thing fol
our young men and the future interests
Of our enterprising city, from o moral
social and business standpoint.
We believe that the citizens of Barre
should give their moral and financial
support to an organization of this kind
as far as necessary, not only from phil
anhropic but from purely selfish rea
sons, as their business and other inter
ests cannot fail Of being benefited BY
what the club win do for our young
men. +. M. 4.
