Missisquoi River in 1864, leaving a
letter in lead tube which was found
in 1853. In discussing this subject the
Burlington News says:
"In connection with Tercentenary
history, we do not recollect seeing any
recrudescence of the old story Of the
finding of a written message at Swan
ton more than half a century ago,
showing that party of white men had
penetrated as far as that point fifty
years before Champlain entered the
lake. We find it retold in the current
issue of the Barton Monitor.
1.-The document, it seems, was found
in December, 1853, at Swanton on the
east bank of the Missisquoi River as
| Orlando Green and P. X. Ripley were
excavating sand.
"They discovered a lead tube about
five inches long and an inch and half
in diameter embedded in the earth and
within it was found manuscript, of
which the following is an exact copy !;
Nov. 20, A. D., 1864.

since to point in an opposite direction.
1t certainly does not seem impossible
of

cause be left behind, and that they
should then become lost and finally die
in the forest; and it IS also very natu-

record to tell of his fate. Be this as

mittee Of which he is chairman. The voice
is the voice OF the committee. but the
hand is the hand OF Aldrich.
Nobody questions the ability OF Sena-
tor Aidrich when it comes 10 drafting a
"stand pat tariff bill or making a study
of the currency question at home and
abroad. But logic is often swayed by emo
ton even with experts. Witness the reluc-
lance with which highly intelligent men
could be induced to swallow the theory
of evolution.
Senator Aldrich does not look or act like
an emotional man, but being human, he
has some mild emotionns. and they may
bias his conclusions, expert though he
be.
Whatever those conclusions may be as
TO the remedy for bad currency condi-
TONS unless all signs fail us. that serene
intellect that great brain beneath the
majestic dome that tops that leonine Wis
age will be unconsclously affected by his
well-lSnown surroundings and by the sub
thy persuasive thought waves that stream
out from Wall street and easily reach
Rhode Island.
SO the ultimate judgment Of the middle
west is hanging over the head Of Senator
Aldrich like the sword Of Damocles. The
thread will hold or break according to
the degree to which he is able to exhale
prejudice from his mind. and to inhale
clarity and impartiality Of thought.

THE ENGLISH TURMOIL.

He fight in England between privilege as
~ represented by the House Of Lords and
the people as represented by the House of Com
mons, is a battle that will be watched with in
terest throughout the world. Nations in these
days knit so closely together that things
which influence one country influence more or
less other countries. National isolation is a
thing OF the past
The battle in England is therefore moment
GUS The House of Commons driven to des-
peration TO find means of supplying revenue in
order to meet the ever growing expenses of Eng
land, expenses due chiefly to the enormous cost
of military armament have prepared budget
in which the privileged and landed class and the
rich persons are taxed more heavily than ever
before. The liquor interests are also heavily
taxed.
Naturally the budget has caused violent OPP
position, and the leader of the House of Lords
has announced that it will be rejected by that
body. The Lords form the higher house like
Senate here, although the Lords are heredi-
tary and different in that respect from our SEN
ate, though some cynics think that the Senate
represents privilege in America in the form of
wealth.
Rarely has the House of Lords rejected any
measures that have come up from the Commons,
for fear that obstreperousness on the part of
the Lords would raise to a political issue the
question of whether the Lords should not be
abolished or their powers greatly curtailed The
objection of the Lords to the present measure is
that it is class legislation, that taxes are unduly
laid on the landed classes 1t will be recalled
that this view was taken by the Single Takers
who spoke at the meeting celebrating the birth
day of Henry George at Arden some weeks
ago.
However, the Lords arc in distress, some of
them. Lord Rosebery who was formerly the
Liberal Prime Minister but who now says he
is man without party, considers the budget
bad measure, one that is already working injury
to British business interests. He warns his col
leagues not TO raise the issue with the House
of Commons. He prefers the country to pass
upon the budget, confident that it would be re
ected by the people. Other peers are chary of
entering the conflict, and altogether it looks as
if England were entering upon one Of the most
important political struggles of the last half
century.

PREPARE FARM
CENSUS SCHEDULE
100000 Copies to be DiStri-
buted by Bureau Before
January |

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. 81
Census Director Durand has received
from Assistant Director William +.
Willoughby the general schedule for
the census Of agriculture, April 10Th
next, which Mr.. Willoughby in con-
junction with Prof. lie Grand Powers,
chief statistician for agriculture, and
the advisory board Of farm economists
and other agricultural experts, has
been formulating during the summer
Director Durand has approved the
form and subdivision of the inquiries
and has ordered nine million copies Of
the schedule to be printed by the Gov
eminent printing Office in readiness be-
fore January 1st although they will
not be placed in the hands of the As
900 farm enumerators until the usual
time before the enumeration date. II
is believed there are nearly seven mil
lion separate farms I'm the United
states, each requiring separate
schedule.
The schedule is printed on both sides
of single sheet, 10 inches long and Is
inches wide, Of white writing paper,
20 by 90 inches. There is a three
inch wide column Of instructions to
enumerators on both sides Of the sheet
so that It can be cut off after filed
in schedule has been returned to the
Census Bureau. This makes the
schedule smaller in size and better
adapted for handling In tabulation
than previous schedules. A separate
book of instructions to enumerators
supplements the schedule information.
The nine million copies will consume
4500 reams of paper, which, count
ing 50 pounds to the ream, will make
a weight of $4,000 pounds, The charge
for printing. including the cost of pa
per- will be $1s,660. The schedule is
so standardized that it will feed on the
perfecting press used at the Govern
ment printing office, which makes 5000
revolutions per hour and prints four
schedules each revolution, or a product
of $4,000 per hour. as against the old
fiat-bed presses used on the 1906
schedules with a speed Of from 1,20C
to / 800 revolutions per hour 1t will
take about three weeks to print them
with the press running sixteen hours
a day.
