DOING Without Sugar.

The Housewives Cooperative League |
of Cincinnati bases its decision to buy
sugar cheaper or do without it on the
proposition that the Sugar Trust has
run up prices to make the public pay its
customs fines. Probably this is unfair.
The short crop of sugar in Cuba, the
almost complete failure Of the European
beet sugar crop, and other influences be-
you'd the control of industrial combina-
tons have raised the price, which is
likely TO be furthur raised. The manu-
facturers take very seriously the pre-
diction that sugar will go to 10 cents
pound; and they are today supplying
candy-making concerns each day with
only the amount used by the same con-
Germs on the corresponding day last year,
rejecting orders for more. This is intel
ligent conservation of the supply.
But the cooperative housewives of
Cincinnati have history on their siie
when they talk of doing without sugar.
Epictetus furnished philosophy for
Mayors past and present, though sugar
was not known in his time. Caesar ill.,
vestigated and oyercame the three parts
of Gau. as Alexander had conquer ID
the world without the taste of sugar in
his mouth or in his memory. For a
century after the new world began to
send sugar to Europe the product was
sold only by apothecsries, aud the price
was prohibitory. Mankind does moi
need sugar, neither does womankind.
And yet the tribute of Brillat Savar
ian to the revolutionary Importance o
sugar in combinations to delight tn,
palate is we'll deserved; and our palate
9 have got used to being delighted. Tn
u Spartanism of unsngared Lacedaemoni
s will be needed to dispense with this pro
. duet. Habit makes sybarites OF all OF us
: Fathers and brothers and husbands ma
be persuaded to take their coffee straight
but. not easily or quickly persuaded
The process will reduire the exertion c
IS diplomacy known to even Cincinna
u women. The task is Herculean. Hop
is fully it may he said that Hercules ate
n candy in boyhood and that among I'll
1t unspeakalle things in the Augea
is Stables there was no sugar custom
k scandal.
d We are almost certain, however, tn,
IN the cooperative housewives of Cincinna
will reconsider kife is too short.

Magazine Government

A thoroughly incensed contributor to
the New York Sun gives some facts
about how far magazines have been per.
mitted to mislead the public. He in
stances the case of the magazine which
charged that subsidiary corporation
to the Standard Oil company was selling
poisonous material to candy mauufac-
turers. This sensational statement was
withdrawn on threat of a libel suit.
Then we have the publication which
stood for the "Dick to Dick letter re-
garding Controller Bay and other Alask-
an properties. 1t did not take the Pres.
dent and the Secretary of the interior
very long to riddle that fiction.
A certain other magazine permitted
itself to become very much excited over
a series of articles styled "Barbarous
Mexico" Responsible American citi
zens residing in various sections of the
| country deny the truth of the charges
made in the articles. Ten months ago
a magazine that has gained some vogue
for its so-called "enterprise" accused
Senator Aldrich of having increased the
tariff on rubber. This, of course, was
important if true, but as there is nc
tariff on rubber the Importance of the
accusation dwindles.
This publication flashed its brilliant
rays on the political situation in Colora
do where, it alleges, the corporate inter
ests have established military despot
ism and have banished many reputable
citizens from the state. OF course refer
ence is had to the driving out of tur
bulent gang of agitators who had muir
dered twenty non.union men and ha,
threatened lives and property with dyna
mite.
Magazines and periodicals that hav
stood for the judiciary recall are no
more blatantly misleading than thos,
which have attacked the character Of
United States senators and judges.
| When, therefore, it was proposed t
increase their postal rates, there was
wild stampede in Congress of statesmen
who stood ready to defend them.
These men rather courted the pub
licity such course would entail The
knew-none better-the reward the
) would receive. But like many othe
fields, the magazine field has becom
: overstocked. There are too many niue
rakers, too much responsibility. A

The travelling public will be glad to
learn that the Central Vermont Railway
is to continue its new summer passenger
train schedule through the coming
winter. This means an increased train
service that will be very welcome during
a season when the weather makes travel
none too agreeable and sometimes none
too certain at best. The new schedule
was tried out this summer, and nothing
that the Central Vermont has done ii
recent years in the way of extending it
facilities and improving its service ha
been more cordially appreciated by Yer
monters.-St. Adams Messenger.

The Presidents speeches in the West,
which are fully reported in our Vermont
dailies, are not ahead of the need of the
people for a personal, straightforward
explanation of his intentions regarding
tariff revision at the proper time, and
the reason why he vetoed the bills which
were rushed through Congress at the end
of the special session.
Assuming, as there is reason to do,
that the people are intelligent enough to
follow singularly clear exposition OF
the nature of the so-called Farmers
Free List Bill and the Wool and Cotton
Bills, it will be impossible to create the
impression that the President is actuated
by other than careful regard for the
interest of all, depending upon certain
degree of steadiness in our great indus
trial system. Beside clearly presenting
for the consideration of the people the
probabilities that hasty and laundering
alteration of complex schedules would
defeat any purpose to regulate the tariff
so as to promote general prosperity, the
history of the Tariff Board-a precau'
tionary provision favored by all parties
is discussed by the President. Evidently
MIR. TAFT can see no sense in expanding
thousands of dollars in providing disin-
terested and accurate advice, to be
gained by business-like inquiry as to the
amount of protection necessary to main.
tain steadiness of the industrial system,
by a non-partizan commission, and the
while such inquiry is being we'll con-
Quoted to pass upon the very schedules
under inquiry without any regard to the
evidence that would be offered for care
full consideration at the next session oil
Congress. The soundest sense was
shown in awaiting the action of the
Canadian people on the Reciprocity
agreement before signing the Farmers
Free List Bill, which was supposed by
its authors TO be compensation to the
farmers for some sort of injury tha
might and might not result from /;
freer trade relation with the Dominion
And nobody but the opponents of thu
administration will now contend tina
there is real need OF action on tn,
other two bills, before inquiry as to thu
measure of protection necessary to keel
the people we'll employed in those, tn
most important branches of industr,
has had due measure of consideration
Long before the end of this, tn
Presidents first term of Office he will b
fully justified by the circumstances O
the chief issue upon which the campaig
will be waged.

Letter from Mrs. L. N. Moody
Printed by Request)

Harris, Iowa.
Dear "Delta Alpha" Friends
1t was so kind of you to remember
my birthday with a post card shower,
an act worthy of a "Friendship Glass.
Thank you, thank you.
We are enjoying our new home, MIR.
Moody's health is improving right along,
and Paul is happy aud we'll, but Iowa
never can be Vermont to us, Vermont
came, aud will always remain, first.
What would you ladies think if you
should wake up some morning, look out
of your windows, and find that the hills
and mountains had all disappeared
If you should find the whole state all
laid out in squares, one mile square,
Just like a checkerboard, with roads
running both ways every mile, and a
school house every two miles That is
as Iowa looks over most of the state,
though of course there are some hills in
the eastern part, but not enough to in
terfere with the mile square sections.
Land is very valuable, and the soil is
dark and rich. There is practically no
waste land, aud when we were coming
through the state on the train Mr..
Moody said he could see the reason for
such large cattle here in the West, for
it looked as though the cattle were all
pastured in the moving, the grass was
so high and heavy. | haven't told the
people about our eastern pastures, they
are pulled up enough as it is. Then it
seems so strange not to see woods here
and there, of course there is little
native timber near some of the lakes,
but otherwise the land is bare of trees
only as they have been set out. Our
Sunday School had picnic few weeks
ago and we went to Iowa Lake, little
lake on the Minnesota line, and we had
our dinner in grove beside the water
Mr.. Moody told me after we got home
that he came the nearest to being home
sick v hen he saw that grove, that hi
had been since leaving Vermont. Those
trees had all been set out in straight
lines, just so far apart, and no woods
plants, ferns or MOSES were to be seen
Those poor Sunday School scholars !
would like to set them down in rea
Vermont woods, say the grove at Sey
mour Lake where we had our class pic
mic last year, but they would probably
prefer the straight-ine-just-so apar
kind.
We have very good Sunday School
DR.. Cady, a young physician, is thu
superintendent. There, are several OF
ganized classes, and the adult class =
, known as the Samaritan class, and com
posed of both men and women--use tn
, Cook supplies just as you do, and ever
month when the new quarterlies come
: look for the Island Pond faces. W.
= usually have an attendance of from 81
7 to 1875 in the Sunday School, but on
r very hot, thunder-showery day, the nun
e Der fell to So.

The Buek-Hunt Timber Lands
and Mills Offered
For Sale

In order to close the Mudgett estate,
what is known as the Buck-Hunt Mills
and timber lands are now offered for
sale. They consist of saving and dress
ing mills, and three to four thousand
acres of timbered land, several hundred
acres of which are heavily covered with
old growth virgin spruce.
This is very fine property for some
enterprising concern to take up. The
lands nearly all slope down towards the
mills, which are situated upon the
estate, and alongside the property runs
the st. Johusbury and Lake Champlain
branch of the Boston & Maiue Railroad,
the mills being on private siding.
The mills have been recently enlarged
by the addition of a commodious. dry
kiln, equipped with an up-to-date,
latest style Sturtevant blower. A new
Berlin hard wood flooring machine has
been added to the equipment.
We understand that the property viii
be sold OH the basis of 5000 for tbs
hardwood and $500 for the spruce
stumpage, and that two other large tim
Der properties in this country are also oil
the market. The facts concerning an.
{ of them can be obtained by addressing

Ii the rumor Is we'll founded that
Charles A. Plumley will be a candidate

Lorimer and vindic alton

According to the press dispatches
Billy Lorimer has taken the stump in
Illinois for "vindication'. 1t is his
expressed opinion that the republican
insurgent senators are cheap lot, but
thus far he has not told what is his
opinion of Senator Root of New York
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and
Senator Page of Vermont, all of whom
voted for his expulsion and each is a
stand pat republican. Senator Root, in
fact, delivered speech in the senate
| demanding that Lorimer be expelled.
But the Lorimer hearing is postponed
and undoubtedly according to pro,
gram, and when it is resumed it is
quite safe to predict that it will drag
along yet again for many months. I'm
told millions of money is back of Lor.
mer. The special interests of the
country demand his retention. Tn,
machine politicians from the Atlantic tC
the Pacific look upon him as little es'
than an angel, and loudly proclaim thai
there is no evidence against him. Lori
mer does not believe in the plan, soor
to become fact, for the popular elec
ton of United States senators. Neithe
does Reed Smoot of Utah, nor Guggen
helm of Pennsylvania, nor Charlie
Murphy of Tammany Hall.-Whit
