have appeared in the daily newspapers.
The dispatches state that there we're
four missionaries known to have

Boil Weevfls In New Light.

Baton Rouge, April l3.-The boil
weeyil, as a destroyer Of chickens, is
a new field Of activity for the pest
that has given 50 much concern to
the cotton planters Of Louisiana, and
the entire southwest, but one lady in.
West Baton Rouge parish reports
that she had an entire brood of little
chickens killed by the enemy Of the
cotton plant.
The other day, in search Of the
early worm, the little chickens went
with their mother into the cotton.
field and in the absence Of the worm,
fell upon and ate a great number Of
boil weevils. The weevils proved not
half 50 palatabIe as the worm, and in
a few hours after the morning meal
in the cotton field, a number of the
chickens were dead. By night the
old hen did not have the ~proyerbial
one chicken. The boil weevils had
gotten in their work.
The farmer and his wife made an
investigation as to the sudden death
of all their little chickens, and found,
IS they state, that It was the many
Weeyils that the chickens had eaten
that had killed them.

from Turkey. Whether it was the
preacher and his wife Of the Webbs
is not known,
Mr.. Webb and other relatives in
this city and in Lafayette parish e1-
press much anxiety as to the fate of
their loved ones, whom they have not
seen in about fifteen years. The tive
Webb sisters are natives Of The town
Of Lafayette. where they have a large
number Of relatives and a host Of
friends. Further news is a%nxiOusly
awaited.

low law unto himself because it is
supposed to be the law of higher NOR
atty
IF you depart in any way from the
law as it is you enter upon path
which, while entirely certain for one
issue in your mind with respect to
the higher moral aim of your own
soul and that of your fellow-citizens,
you are nevertheless being led into
wilderness by which you cannot
subsequently guide your steps. There
fore, let us first make the laws to
accord to our desires and our ambi-
tons and then follow them"
The truth needs to be iterated and
reiterated that the way to get rid of
an Objectionable law is to enforce it
and agitate for its repeal. If an Of
ficer may refrain from enforcing one
law because he does not like it, or be-
cause some of his friends and sup
porters do not like it, some other Of
ficer may do the same, in regard to
any other law Public sentiment has
everything to do with making and re-
pealing laws, but it should have no
thing to do with enforcing laws Once
law is placed on the statute books
there is only one proper course to
pursue, and that is to enforce it, If
man is unwilling to enforce any
law he has no right to be candi-
date for an office which calls for
such enforcement.
Here in Vermont we need toning up
of public sentiment on this subject.
We are too much inclined to couten-
ance a lax enforcement of the laws
we do not like. Undoubtedly there
are some acts that should be repeal
ed, and others that should be modif-
ed, but let us keep out of the wilder
ness of lawlessness to which the
President refers

Bradstreets Vermont Trade Report.

Reports to Bradstreet's for the
week note that colder weather has
benefited retail trade in seasonable
goods. Manufacturers the State over
report more business, although
among granite firms the usual quiet
ness prevails for this period of the
year. In the granite line, however,
some new business is being received
for spring delivery. The water sup
ply for manufacturing purposes is
low and much need of rain to fill
streams and ponds is commented up
on. This condition is about the same
as it was year ago and is due to
drouth the early part of the year.
Some light rains have fallen during
the past few weeks but not enough to
create a surplus. Pasturage, how
ever, is in fairly god shape. Special
reports from garment manufacturers,
with one or two exceptions, indicate
that the volume of business is fully
up to normal,
One company is looking for more
help, while another reports three
times as much business as a year
ago. The work of preparing for the
seasons cut of timber has commence
ed and it is anticipated that the usu-
al amount will be taken care of this
year. The demand among dealers
shows a tendency to order only for
immediate wants, although prices
are still maintained. A little more
activity is noted among veneer man
ufacturers, but prices are unsettled
with tendency toward lower mar
ket. The weeks failures include one
voluntary bankruptcy.
Burlington retail merchants report
generous buying, the outlook for holt
day trade good, and stocks in excel
lent condition. Labor is generally

DEATH OF b. B. SMALLEY.

The death of Bradley B. Smalley,
of Burlington, removes the most
widely known Vermont Democrat of
recent times. A man of strong char
acter and undoubted integrity, a re-
sourceful politician, an able business
man, he was a prominent figure in
this State for forty years Had YER
mont been more evenly divided on po-
litical lines Mr. Smalley probably
would have been Governor and United
States Senator, being well qualified
for either position.
For many years he was prominent
in the highest councils of his party,
engaging the confidence of men like
Tilden, Cleveland, W. H. Barnum,
Daniel Manning, Senator German,
William c. Whitney and others. His
political "reminiscences would have
made interesting reading. If the
Journal remembers correctly his
name was suggested as a possibility
for President Cleveland's Cabinet.
In the days when the Democratic
party was more vigorous and agrees
sive than it has been since William
J. Bryan and his doctrine disrupted
the organization, Mr.. Smalley was a
power in Vermont politics. He was
always respected by his political OPP
ponents who recognized in him the
elements of leadership.
In politics there must always be a
loser as well as a winner 1t has
been the misfortune of Vermont DEM
ocrats for more than half a century
to be in the minority. AS the Journal
believes in Republican principles, it
cannot consistently find fault with
the great majority of it's fellow Ver-
monters for holding similar opinions.
Nevertheless, it recognizes that some
very honorable and patriotic YER
monters believe in political principles
radically different
Vermont Democrats will be fortu-
nate whether in the minority or in
the majority, if they have leaders
who measure up to the standard of
Bradley B. Smalley
