A NEW PHASE or THE DRoUTH.

A new and unexpected phase of the
unprecedented drouth is the hindranee to
navigation in Lake Champlain. 1t reads
strangely enough to be informed that
passenger and freight boats are expert
encing delays and having real difficulties
in getting about because of the low wa
ter in SO large body as Lake Cham
plain. This applies, Of course, only to
the more narrow and more shallow parts
of the lake. Docks which normally are
approaehabIe for large boats are either
high and dry or SO poorly surrounded
by water that vessels ground when they
attempt to put up at their customary
places. 1.-THE oldest inhabitant' says
that this has never been known in his
memory, and since there are none to
dispute, it stands as a record, never to
be equalled or surpassed, it is hoped.
However, with the constant denuding
of the forests, which form a natural wa
tershed for the tributary streams Of
Lake Champlsin, allowed to continue,
such conditions as we are to-day expert
cncing are apt to be repeated and with
increasing frequency. AS the forests
are cut, the natural storage OF water
in swampland and lowland of all kinds
Is destroyed; the water is no longer pro-
tected from the rays of the sun and is
drawn up, whereas it naturally would
remain on storage or would run its
course down into Lake Champlain. There
is this much water temporarily lost,
which, in drouth times like this. is very
valuable. To be sure, it win come again
in the form of rain when the drouth is
broken, or in part at least; but its SER
Woes will be of the minimum value then,
whereas it would be of maximum value
in dry periods. So, with the continued
hacking Of the woodlands, we may ex-
pect shortages Of water more and more
frequently.

The editor Of the Green Mountain

his few and farbetween editorials,
chiefly confined to knocking something
or somebody, sends up the following
vail: For once Burlington has re-

years burlington politicians have made
merchandise of the voters Of the rest
of the county. They have put into the
field Objectionable candidates, whose
only qualifications were that dollars,

leans have revolted, and Burlington
will be without representative in the

reason for the above wall, as the Re
publcans in Burlington arc in a sadly
demoralized condition, but the state

candidates for office was their dollars

salt.
And then. too, the statement that
Burlington viii be without represen-
tatiye in the next Senate is little far
fetched, as senators are supposed to,
and do represent the county instead
OF any individual city or town. Bur
lington is. OF course, much larger than
any other town in Chittenden county

should not be entitled to representation

IN GOOD HANDS.

Now that Barre has public library,
the question naturally arises as 10 the
means of its maintenance, and we have
only to refer to another clause of the
AIdrich will TO find that the donor of
the library also provided for its endow-
nent. A considerable portion of the
estate was set aside, The income from
which is to be used in keeping up the
library. The care Of this property, as
Of the entire fund, was entrusted to a
self-perpetuating board of seven resi-
dents of Barre. This board gives its
services to the undertaking, with no
other compensation than that afforded
them in the good win and appreciation
of the public. To them fell the arduous
and sometimes perplexing duties of erect
ing the building which was dedicated
yesterday; and to them also will fall
the duty Of caring for the remainder of
the trust fund. besides the management
of the library itself. Therefore, to them
is due great measure of thanks for the
progress OF the library movement in
Barre and to them the citizens Of Barre
City and Barre Town may confidently
look for the same sagacious, sound and
conservative action in the continuance
of the large trust placed in their hands.
They are all citizens in whom We can
place reliance, believing that the best
ends will be served.

The Concord, n. H., Monitor thinks
that the two Democrats in the Vermont
Senate will have hard time deciding
which is leader of the minority party.
They would have a hard time if the
division really counted; but in the Yer
mont Senate there is almost never a
party consideration Of measure. To
all intents and purposes, therefore, a
Democrat is a Republican. II the divi-
sion was more nearly equal there might
sometimes be a fight.

rather difficult undertaking. Nothing
will more wildly convey the advanta GEES

than visit to our charming appointed

with discriminating women of today.

in which we have anticipated the re-
quirements of the season. There is an
evidence of all these subtle little
touches which commend themselves 10

The Indian and His Hair.

NIllluutIpIlld uDliS IASoSClJ
Indians are to have their hair cut,
provided they want it cut, and in the
best style known to the "tonsorial par
lor'' of the paieface. The government
proposes to supply the necessary bar
bers Once there went forth a mandate
that the Indians must get their hair
cut short and quick. but it never
seemed to sink into the intelligence of
Lo Now the situation Is different.
They are politely invited to Net their
hair cut, and the way is opened. Soon
in insinuating tones they will be asked,
Have a shampoo" or the wooing
voice will suggest, Better try a face
massage. it's fine"
The Indian, in his untrammeled
state, has always entertained peculiar
notions as to his hair. For him to wear
1t long was mere matter of courtesy
to his enemy, who, in quest of a scalp,
needed it to get a grip on. 1t was a
point of honor. Since the Indian has
laid the tomahawl and scalping knife
aside there is gone the old ethical value
of the locks. Moreover. he has learned
not to comb his hair with a bacon rind
now. He uses a manufactured comb
and hog bristle brush BY having
the hair cropped he would greatly sim
plify the processes of the toilet.

promise that depositors will be paid In
full Deposits in the national banks
of the country are now practically as
great as a year ago. No anxiety con-
corning them exists anywhere, but the
cash reserve at all the reserve cities
taken together is only three per cent
more than at the last statement before
the panic.
In other words, the actual condition
of the banks had little or nothing to
do with it. The trouble was due to a
state of mind. Depositors were fear
stricken-or, more accurately speaking
bankers became afraid that dtf% sitors
would become afraid. To that fear IS
attributable the. violent money de-
rangement from the effects of which
we still suffer.
We think it entirely feasible so to
insure deposits that probability OF
recurrence of that disastrous state OF
mind will be decidedly lessened: that,
also, considerable money which now
lies useless in private boards will be
put in bank and go to swell the coun-
try's working cash capital.

tofore proposed may be Objectionable
in some details. Defects of detail may
always be corrected. Opposition of In
dividual bankers on merely selfish
grounds is entitled to no consideration.

reporter pleases to call it, is some What
in error as to the sudden termination
of the race, in so far as the patrol was
concerned.
I'm the article it says we ran into
a telephone pole Now We are willing
to admit that pole did look somewhat
out of place as we turned into Court
street, but at this time, instead of
smashing into the pole our prize bay,
Old Charlie, was seized with cramps,
all of a sudden, and fell in a heap in
the soft sand with which Court street
is plentifully supplied. We missed the
telephone pole by two or three feet.
AT this time the auto appeared on
the scene, and relieved us of some five
or six hundred pounds (of ice) and.
repairing our harness, we resumed our
journey north
The inference of an ice wagon as
applied by the writer to the patrol. is
not altogether TO our liking. tho we
will admit there is a rather cooling
sensation for those who are asked to
enjoy ride in it now and then. but
as to the speed we attain in our mad
flight after the boys with the speedy
