punn's Review Of the Week.

Abundant crops and an oversold steel
industry engender sentiments of conf
dence that make the outlook bright for
a continuance of present prosperous bust
ness conditions. Each week brings q
new high-water mark in some depart
ment, and the net result is uniformly
better than for the corresponding week
in any previous year. The weather has
favored both crops and the distribution
OF merchandise, while the latter is in
creased by seasonable bargain sales.
Despite unprecedented preparations for
business by liberal purchase of rolling
stock, the railways are facing a serious
traffic blockade, that cannot be avoided
when the crops begin to move freely.
Earnings thus far reported for August
were Ill per cent. larger than last
year. Some damage by storms was re-
ported, but of local effect only, and
more significant factor was the further
voluntary advance in wages at textile
mills. No relief appears as to the supply
vi LABOR, production being reduced in
some cases where consumers are most
urgent Fall dry goods jobbing trade
broadens, clothing manufacturers make
heavy shipments, and the leading in
dustries are usually supplied with orders
assuring active machinery well into next
year. July foreign commerce for the
whole country far surpassed the same
month in any previous year, especially
as to imports, which were close to the
largest in any previous month, and at
this port alone for the last week there
were gains of S., 1891 ,46s in imports and
sl,5ls, 1888 in exports as compared with
the same week of 1905. Securities rose
sharply on the Union Pacific dividend,
but money was easy and foreign ex-

DISEASED MEAT DISCUSSED.
Atty. Gen. Fits Ready to Prose-
cute Any Guilty Parties.

Woodstock, Aug. 1S.-A largely at
tended Republican rally was held in the
park here yesterday afternoon, the speak
ers being Senator w. P Dillingham;, Atty
Gen. G. c. Fits, and the Hon. Charles
Fl. Darling. The Bridgewater band fur
nished music and A. j. Markham sang.
Mr.. Fits took up the charges that
diseased meat had been sold in Vermont.
He declared that if any man has sold
diseased meat in this state and it can be
proven he will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law He also said that if
the parties who made out the af1idavits,
now being circulated by Mr.. Clements
agencies July 81, had the knowledge
they claim to have, they should have at
once filed a complaint therein against
the parties they allege have committed
this offence and not allowed the alleged
business to continue to the detriment OF
public health. They should have made
the matter public at once and not kept
it secret to be used now for political
purposes.

We m ems Institutes.

Much is being done for the farmers
nowadays. Possibly more might be done
for the farmers wives. Mrs Helen
Wells, who has been lecturing at the
women's institutes in Canada, thinks
that we might learn something in this
direction from that province.
II could not help comparing" she
writes us, "those districts that have
been carrying on these institutes for two
years with those where there had been
none l think the women's Institutes
in Canada are doing more lasting work
than any other institutes now in exist
ence, for the simple reason that the teach
ers' and farmers institutes are two or
more days organizations, while the
women's institutes meet every month in
the year and are practical study clubs,
and the annual meeting is much more
largely attended and is of more interest
because the women have been studying.
We ought to have for our women on the
farm just as much help as is given to the
men,"

He Produces No Proof.

The Republican State platform adopted
at Montpelier June 90 contained this
plank:
Sixth: The searching investigation to
which our State institutions have been
subjected, shows efficient administration
of our State affairs. Whatever there
was of weakness and error in the
management of those institutions has
been laid open to the public and remedied,
and we know that at the present time
there is no hospital for the care of all
classes of insane where the inmates are
better cared for than at Water bury; that
In no state prison is the discipline better
than at Windsor; and, that in no second
airy penal institution do better conditions
prevail than at Rutland; while the return
received by the State for its convict
labor is not equalled, class for class, in
any other state"
Mr.. Clement has never been able, on
the stump or in his newspaper, the
Rutland Herald, to show that one solitary
word of this simple, direct statement is
untrue. He has heaped no end of ridi-
Guile upon it, he has made sweeping
charges of falsity against it, but he has
never produced a scintilla of evidence
that his charges are well founded. He
has been challenged over and over again
to bring on his proofs, but he has not
done so.

SHOWS IMPROVEMENT.
Brandon Voted mo" for the First
Time Last March, and the
Present Conditions Great
IvIn Advance

The following statement from Howard
ID. Bacon, Treasurer of the Brandon
Italian Marble Co., as to the effect of the
mo" vote last March, will be of great
interest to the public. Mr.. Bacon is one
OF the foremost citizens of the town and
a man OF undoubted integrity. Hence
his testimony is Of great value. The
beneficial effects of the nolicense regime
here ought to encourage other towns to
carry their election against license next
March.
Brandon, Vermont, August A, 1906:
Brandon, for the first time under the
new law, voted no license this last spring.
Conditions under license were bad. and
the fact of having license and such con-
ditions was the cause Of much regret on
the part OF many Of her people.
There has been a marked improve
ment this year under no-license; 80 much
30 that 1t is very noticeable.
Fair Brandon-never perhaps more
beautiful than the present season-is 10
be congratulated because Of this great
moral Improvement which adds so much
to its peace and attractiveness.

North CaroIina's Strong Governor

No state of late has been disgraced by
lynchings so much as North Carolina,
yet North Carolina may soon become
distinguished also for her punishment of
citizens guilty of this crime. The Sails
bury lynching was the acme of wanton-
ness, since the three negroes snatched
from the Jail and hanged by mob had
been guilty of no crimes against white
women and, although the charge was
murder, the courts had not been dilatory
IN their trial of the case. The state
authorities have brought the leader of
the mob to justice within surprisingly
short time, for by Friday night he had
been tried for conspiracy at special
term OF the court, ordered by Gov. Glenn,
and convicted by jury which deliber-
ated upon its verdict but IS minutes
The sentence was gratifying, being IS
years in the penitentiary If this is the
hrst conviction for lynching in the
history of North Carolina, as the report
says, it means that the responsible ele-
ments of society in the commonwealth
are finally aroused and that public
opinion will sustain vigorous warfare
against the mob spirit.
