When Farmers Get Together.

(Vergennes Enterprise and Nermonter)
Windham county farmers, who re-
quire lots of ground limestone for
their land, are getting it cheaper this
year, by reason Of lower railroad rates
and being able to buy it nearer home.
Some figures in connection Herewith
given by the Brattleboro Reformer are
interesting. Last year the lime came
from Utica, and cost put down IN
South Londonderry 500 a ton. The
price was $3.50 +. O b. the works in
paper bags. The freight. from Utica
TO Brattleboro, 203 miles, was 50 q
ton, and from Brattleboro TO South
Londonderry, SO miles, S1.60 ton
Query: Was the rate for the long
haul too little or that for the short
haul too much? Or were both just and
equitable? Now the limestone can be
bought at North Pownal, II miles from
Brattleboro, and delivered at the lat
ter place, for 81 cents q ton, making
the cost 1892, while the rate to Soutf
Londonderry has been reduced to 81
cents a ton for the IS miles. This has
been brought about by the Windhan
| County Agricultural association
through County Agent Sweeton.
Looks as though it was good polic1
for the farmers TO get together.

INT1MIDATING THE PRESS.

The public should be grateful to |
Charles Il. Miller, the editor in chief
of the New York Times, for remind !
ing the ship Lobby Investigating
committee that the attempt to turn the
American press into the sycophantic in
stitution it is in some countries OF Eu
rope and elsewhere IN the world would
be failure. Freedom of the press
was acquired after one OF the longest
and hardest fights in Anglo-Saxon his
tory. The people have been very jeal-
Gus in its defense ever since. Pub
fishers Of periodicals which have
preached doctrines a great majority
OF Americans utterly despised have
found unexpected friends when petty
oficialism has attempted to suppress
them. Perhaps we have gone to the
extreme of license, but it IS the safer
extreme. Americans have 4 firm faith
to the triumph of right They believe
that nothing will sooner kill bad doc
/ trines than their free discussion. Pub
fishers are properly held responsible
/ tor assaults on individual regulations
and for violations OF the laws OF com
mon deceney. But the people resent
any attempt to hold publishers to legal
accountability for the expression OF
opinion on general questions, and eff
forts to establish censorship in ad
vance of publication will fail as long
as American principles retain THEN
pristine vigor.
Mr.. Miller was correct in his state
ment that there is Il power greater
than Congress to make newspapers
honest. 1t is the power Of the read
ers. There have been few instance
in newspaper history where certain
selfish interests have acquired news
papers Tor the furtherance Of certain
causes. But in practically every Ill
stance these newspapers were withou
influence and their support became to
great Il drain on the resources of tn
owners Readers soon determin
4 whether newspapers are honest.

Il gins to wane as soon as newspapers al

4 Miller deserves the thanks of the pr
fession and the public for remindir
1 the senators of few fundament
facts about the newspaper business.

Finding places for the lame ducks
who fell outside the breastworks in
the last congressional elections is now
one of the administration s problems
in Washington. Raymond B. Stevens
of Landau, who served one term from
the second New Hampshire district as
a Democrat, has been appointed spe-
cial attorney to the new federal trade
commission with salary of $4,000
per annum. George Rublee of Cornish
is one of the members of the board
under a recess appointment by Presi-

urally feels a little chesty when the
commission is mentioned, as it is the
only New England state recognized
in its makeup.
