TIE HELPING HAND IN VERMONT

THE HELPING HAND IN VERMONT.
People OF Cabot were quick to resent,
and then to refute, the assertion that
their fire company was unneighborly in
refusing to respond to an appeal for as
sistance at the time of the Lamberton
mill fire in the town OF Marsbfeld last
Saturday; and they have apparently
proven their case satisfactorily to those
concerned. at least so it would seem.
II is thus pleasing to note that the
charge was really without foundation,
however strong it may have seemed for
the time being The spirit of kindness,
the willingness to 60 TO self-sacrifice to
assist a friend, neighbor, or even a
stranger, is 50 strong and 50 prepon-
derating in Vermont that We should
have been sorry to note any exception
in this instance Il is a noteworthy
Characteristic Of Vermonters that theg

peals for assistance; and they 60 further

An explanation is due the citizens Of
those forty two Vermont towns and
cities which failed to have their grand
lists filed with the secretary of state
in the time set by law. Ii the officials
at fault have not a good reason to adj

searching for other candidates for the
places next spring, and it would serve
the officials right, too.

Publicity Of Campaign Expenses.

Here and there an honest Vermont
editor has the courage to demand law
governing the publicity Of campaign ex7
penses in this state, but in general the
professional political instinct keeps the
majority of them silent. Politics in
this state is becoming specially train
led calling and many newspapers hest
tate about antagenizing the men in their
communities who are regularly expected
to deliver the town TO the candidate
who is able and willing to purchase their
services. Samuel Beadell, Hiram Hanks,
Peters Swiazle and Timothy Grasse have
kinsmen and sympathizers in every
town Of this state, They do not desire

These pieces came through on one car
and the freight and loading of these
pieces cost 500. When II is considered
that Falkenau still owns the timbers
and that the city Is under contract to
reload and ship them back to Chicago
the absurdity of the thing is apparent,
and moreso from the fact that the
timbers could be purchased right here
or their equivalent could be had from
any Of the timber jobbers for half of
what the freight cost.

held the following evening at which

Of Alderman Robbins were present and

The Iron Market.

The Iron Trade Review says THE
prosperity OF the farmer continues to
be strongly reflected in the improve.
ment of the iron business which is
shown not only In such products as
wire. which go directly to the farm,
but also in bars used by implement
manufacturers, and in the increased
activity of railroad shops. which are
preparing cars TO move heavy crops.
The improvement il slow. but never
theless real, and considering that IL
comes in midsummer when there Is
almost always considerable dimuni-
tion in demand. for iron and steel pro-
ducts aid decreased activity of mills.
is encouraging
The signing of the wage scale OF
the amalgsmated association by a
number of important manufacturing
concerns has removed the cause Of some
anxiety and furnished further reason
for believing that there will be few II
any serious wage controversies this
summer. The strike of miners in the
south is causing some trouble, bat has
not resulted in the banking Of any
furnaces.
while there are few noteworthy
sales of pig iron, there is strong an.
dertone in the market for foundry
grades in the central west. and prices
are, for the most part. being well
maintained. Some sales OF basic have
been recently made in the east. and
a transaction involving 10000 tons Of
bessemer in the Pittsburg district
privately negotiated some time ago. Is
now announced, but steelmaking iron
,is extremely dull. and lower prices are
named on basic. -
