FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

The outbreak of the foot and mouth
disease is a national calamity. Quaran-
tine has already been established
over II states and importations from
Canada have been prohibited. The
disease has been known in Europe for
centuries, but its first appearance in
this country was noted within 20 years.
Three outbreaks have occurred at
period Of almost exactly six years
apart, the cases appearing each time
in about the same localities and at
the same time of year. An unfortunate
feature is the involvement of the fine
registered herds exhibited at the ma
tional dairy show in Chicago, the S34
animals there being valued at upwards
of S2.000,0 900. Secretary of Agriculture
Houston Is in favor of killing all of
the show cattle Immediately, but the
breeders are trying TO thwart this
movement, as only small number of
the valuable cattle are infected.
The effect of the quarantine will be

cause complete paralysis so far as
sales, repositories and transfers are
concerned The number of cattle
available for slaughter will be greatly
reduced and the already high prices OF
meats will 90 soaring again.
Scientists know but little about the
origin or treatment Of the disease
1t is highly contagious, and it has
lbcen demonstrated that dove flying
in an infected area may carry the
germs to cattle miles away.
The disease affects the lining of the
Imouth with numerous assesses, secret
ing foul-smelHng pus. A like result OF
the hoof, and in COWS in the cleft O
the hoof, and often injecting the ndde
and leading to sloughing off of th'
teats, is what gives the name to th'
disease, which is believed to be dan

Let Legislative Leaders Develop.
Barre Times.

Newspaper brethren should cease
talking about Legislative leaders -
thus early. Such premature taffy actu.
ally spoils the chances of good men
for service of great usefulness just
because the other members of the
Legislature take occasion to haul such
prospective leaders down to their COM
mon level and thus handicap those
men in their work. 1t is far better 70
let each and every member of the leg
islature 90 TO Montpelier without
fulsome advance notice of prominence
and to let each rise to his. proper po-
sition through revelation of merit. The
fentire body of legislators viii recognize
a leader who becomes a leader through
excellence of his service but viii re
fuse to recognize any newspaper made
leaders. In fact, many legislators take
particular delight in pulling down a
man who has been heralded as likely
to be one of the few really strong men
of the general assembly. Therefore
why spoil legislator 5 chances for
service by making him the target for
attack by enyious fellow-legi
Give them all a fair show to make
good at Montpelier.

A SERMON FOR vERMoNTERs.

President Thomas of Middlcbury col
lege, in the First Congregational church
in Burlington Sunday evening, preach
ed sermon on Ishmael, the Son of
Hager, giving to it a local and state
application in a plea for brotherliness
and cooperation as opposed to Jealousy
and suspicion. In closing the speaker
said:
THE Ishmaelite has his place, and
now and then renders important SER
vice. But the son Of Hager, the wild
ass Of a man, whose hand was against
every man and every man S hand
against him, is not the saint we most
need just now to venerate. We need
rather, just now, to get together and
be brotherlv.
1--WE need it in our nation. We have
had enough undertaking and corpora
ton batting and attempts to stir class
Ihatred and social antagonism. Let us
have peace The great mass of Ameri-
can citizens, poor and rich, employer
and employed, are trying to do right.
| We all love one flag and one country.
We are all ready to sacrifice for the
] common SOOu. Let us put dSAuc our
suspicion and our hatred, and strive
each III his own place to do justly, and
to love mercy, and to walk humbly be-
| fore God.
| We need more brotherhood and less
mutual suspicion in our state. We all
love Vermont and Vermont needs the
generous cooperative service of us all
We are none too strong and none toe
wise when we are united, and we have
neither strength nor wisdom to waste
lin mutual reerimination. The people OF
Vermont, of all classes and all parties
are patriotic and sincerely DESTROYS o.

enterprises of this state are not man
