The game was far from a pitchers

together and each was IN it's best form.
Three Washington pitchers were tried
out and neither showed remarkable
form. LOnEstreet started for the locals
and II was poor luck that prevented the
visitors from making a run. Although

wild pitches and passed six.

WIELDS BIG STICK
 FOR A GREATER NAVY.
MESSAGE ISRECEIVED
CONGRESS HEARS APPEAL FOR
Advocates of a Larger Navy Received the President's Document With En- thusiasm-The Antis Gave
 Vent to Their FeeltnRs.

Washington. April 14.--rhe message of the President fin support of his plan for an appropriation for four new bat tleships. concerning which there has been so much speculation. wassreceived today by both houses of Congress.
 That the message was designed to influence the House to increase the number of battleships provided for in the naval bill from two to four, was generally understood, and the dispatch of the message was intended to be so timed as to reach, the House just be- fore the taking up of that provision.
 The debate on the naval approprfa- tion was on when the message arrived, and 1t quickly became noised about that the anticipated document had reached the House. All sorts of ques- tions were asked of the floor leaders as to when the reading of the message would begin, but a typographical error in the print of the message was seized upon by those opposed to four battle ships to delay the reading, Tn the hope that the provision relating to the battleships would be first reached and thereby discount any effect the mes sage might have in bringing members over to the Presidents view. It looked at one time as if 1t would be neces- sary to return the message to the Pres- ident so that he might make the nec- essary correction and when this was avoided, further delay was caused by the necessity of a change which would transform the committee of the whole into the House proper and then return to the committee meth cd of proceeding. Consequently the message was not laid before the House until just before the close of the days work. It was en- thusiast:cally received by the advocates

Fertilizers for Sum mer end Fail Toe
Dressing and Seeding Down.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that in
many cases better results are obtained on
meadows from fertilizers which are ap-
piled in the summer or early fall. This
lie true both as to top-dressing and seeding
down.
We wish to call the attention of the
farmers OF Vermont to the fact that we
can furnish formulas for mixing fertiliz-
ers especially adapted to top-dressing and
seeding down grass land. These formu-
las have not only been approved by the
Vermont Experiment Station but have
been used with excellent results by .
great many farmers in Vermont and have
proved thoroughly reliable. We can also
furnish the materials for mixing fertiIiz-
ers in accordance with these formulas.
We should be pleased to send the formu-
las together with full directions for mix
ing, cost Of materials, ETC., to anyone
who will write rs, mentioning this psper.

are rather mystifying, and Mr.. Morton

IL came there as anyone. He has a cot.
tage at the lower end OF the lake, and ha.
been in the habit Of going there in the
late evening OF Saturday TO pass tbs
night. Consequently II has been bis
custom during hot weather to leave tbs
windows of the upper story open that the
rooms may be more comfortable fol
sleeping. Mr.. Norton has ascertaincc
that Q stranger was seen TO enter hii
house by one OF these windows some two
weeks ago, and 1t is said that someon.

Interest in the Vermont campaign grew
rapidly toward its close. The apathy Of
the early weeks gave way to real awak-
ening Chairman Williams put lot Of in
telligent hard work into the canvass, carry
ing it on in q business-like way that
counted. Candidate Prouty helped his
cause materially by his frank talks on the
stump, and his defeated rival, Zed g.
Stanton, pulled a laboring oar in behalf
OF the ticket. The out-of-state speakers,
though not numerous, did their part, bot
home orators had to supply most of the
calls. Newspaper advertising, cores
pondence and pamphlet work all bore a
prominent part in getting out the vote.
One cannot point to many errors Of omis-
sion or commission. On the whole, the
campaign was splendidly conducted from
the beginning. General Apathy suffered
a complete rout.

"EouALlzlNc" TAXATION.

In dealing " 18th this tax question, here,
it seems to us, are two axioms, upon
which any just, fair and lasting system
ever devised, or that will ever be devised,
must rest:-
1. Every person should pay an equal
rate of taxes with every other person
upon his property, fairly appraised as
compared with that of every other per-
son.
2. A PERSONS property for purposes Of
taxation is any balance remaining after
deducting the amount of his debts owing
from the value Of the holdings Of all
kinds to which he has legal title.
With the application Of the first axiom,
no one will take issue. 1t is the theory
on which our present system is based,
and SO far as conditions warrant, is car.
ried out.
But when it comes to defining by stat
ute what the property is that shall be
taxed, and how, it shall be figured in the
list, this theory gets all twisted up, and
the grossest injustice results to certain
kinds Of property. Thus, we observe the
principle Of the deduction OF debts ow-
ing, but only apply it SO far as allowing
offsets against personal property goes. II
the mans holdings are largely Of real es.
tate, and he owes heavily, he profits
nothing by the Offset privilege. II il
only so far Is he can counterbalance hi
debts against such personal property Al
he has that the offset privilege amounts
to anything to the taxpayer. Result
Personal property Is sought for and &C
quired; real estate is avoided, unless i
can be owned free Of debt. Further re
suit: Appreciation Of personal property
depreciation of farm property, especially
Further result: A drift toward mercan
