THE STATE CONVENTION.
In order to give our readers an early re
port of tho republican Btnto convention, to
bo hold ot Montpelior on Wednesday, tho
Weekly Fnr.E 1'nr.bs will U printed on
Thursday next week.
Tho Iudians arj Buffering again with tho
Messiah craze and thu trouble is said to bo
hclpod on materially by bad whiskey fur
nished by equally bad whitoj.
Senator Allison of Iowa is about to with
draw from tho presidential fiold. He has
already announced his belief that it is use
less ta stem tho Harrison tldt. Tho list ot
"favorite sons" is rapidly disappearing
from tho prosidontial slato.
It is worthy of note that whllo tho people
r I Vermont and particularly those of Bur
lington havo been enjoying rare spring
weather during the past weok, parts of Kug
land, Wales and Scotland lmvo bean burled
under snow drifts from two to live foot
deep.
Secretary Blnino and Senator Hoar are
both contemplating leaving Washington and
the country for n time, for tho benefit of
their health, tho former to remain away
until oftor tho Minneapolis convention, and
the latter until tho presidential eloction is
passed.
Tho lendiug nations of Europo will borep
rosouted on an immense scale at tho world's
fair. The German Reichstag bas just
granted a supplementary credit of $1100,000
for that country's oxhibit, and Germany's
neighbors will undoubtedly bo incitod there
by to incrcaso thoir appropriations.
Tho summer visitor boom promisos to
start in early in Vermont this season. Tha
streets of llurlington are already so dusty
in many places as to suggest tho neod of
street sprinklers, and If tho present delight'
ful spring weathor continues long the wholo
Btato will soon bo clad in vcrdura and
bloom.
The fact that the Sultan was irritated at
England for sending a large ileet of war
vessels to Alexandria to meet tha mission
from Constantinople bearing tha inveiture
to the Khedive of Kgypt is not likely to
worry John Bull to any degree. England
has a mortgage on Egypt and can snap its
Angers at tho Sultan.
Mrs. Hutchln?, tho Now Jersey widow
whoso husband left his wholo property of
30,000 to Henry George, has been taken to
the poor house. Sho contested tho will and
loBt oven her dowry to tho lawyors. Tho
lawyors also got nil but nbout 5580 ot tho
1-30,000 that was to go to Mr. George. Mr.
George should now writo a now version of
his theory of personal property.
Tho gossips who bavo boon waiting with
eager eyes for tho publication of the love
letters ot James G. Blaine, jr., to his late
wito will bo disappointed. According to
tho explanation given, n friend of Secretary
Blaine, said to be Secretary Elkins, wont to
tee tho friends of Mrs. Blalno, jr., in Xow
York, and arranged to roceivo tho letters,
or nt least to socuro a promise that they
thould not be published.
President JInri Non's llctintntnntloti.
Sinco tho withdrawn! of Secretnry Hlalno's
nnrao from consideration in connection with
tho republican nomination for tho presiden
cy, It has been evident that nothing could
prevent tho rcnominatiou of President Har
rison. Tlioro has been no ovldonco of oppo
sition even, except in several States having
"favorite sons" who nro available, and
these nro rapidly wheeling into line. Sena
tor Cullom's lcttor withdrawing from tho
presidential race, coupled with Gov. Mo
Kinley's recent declination to enter tho con
test, is looked upon as practically assuring
tho renoiiilaatlou of Harrison without op
position. Since both theso gentlemen indicate tbolr
preferences for Mr. Hnrrhon it is assumed that
Ohio aud Illinois will sond Harrison dele
gates to Minneapolis. In Pennsylvania,
where Senator Quay's Influence has been
thrown against the president, thero is said
to bo a rapid growth of sentiment iu favor
of Mr. Harrlhou, and there is reason to bo
llevo that New York will soon show n
marked prefereucu for the president's re-
nomination.
Gen. Alger hns been pulling tho strings at
his command in various directions but in
formation received In Washington is snld to
indicato that olforts to got any support for
him outsido of his own State havo boon un
successful, and it is bolloved that bo will
soon wlthdrnw. It seems to bo the genoral
opinion now that Mr. Harrison will proba
bly bo nominated without opposition and
that tho rmrty will 1)3 thoroughly united ou
him and thus be able to poll every vote. If
this should bo tho case, as it undoubtedly
will bo, tho republicans aro certain to score
n magnificent victory next November.
Tho Iilcnl Farmer.
All sorts of advlco havo been given by
agricultural writers and others as to tho
way in which to become a successful farm
or and how to mako fnrminc pay. Tho
most intelligent and at tho samo timo com
prehenslblo statement of tho subjoct that wo
remember to havo seen, however, is that
given by Secretary Rusk of tho agricultural
department to Mr. Frank G. Carpenter, tho
well-known newspaper correspondent. Here
Is tho wholo caso in a nutshell as regards
the ideal former:
Ho must be sufllciently well educated in
science as far as it it li applicable to agri
culture, and he must bo intelligent onough
to study his surroundings and to apply Ills
knowledge to the conditions about him,
The farmer of the future will bo a buslnoss
man, ablo not only to compel his soil to do
its best in the matter of production, but to
study the markets and know what will (soil
tho best, and what will command the high
est price. 1ms farmer will keep his ac
counts like any other buslnoss man. As to
tho question of his cducntlon, when you
consider that ha must have a know ledge of
all the principles of animnl and plant life;
thut ho must understand tho constituent
elements of soils and fertilizers, and that ho
must havo soma knowledge of meteorology,
chemistry, and tho other sciences closely
connected with crop raising, you will see
tbnt the ideal farmer of the future will have
to bo not only a brainy but a well-educated
man.
The executors ot tho will of Daniel B.
Enyer weather, tho millionaire loather mer
chant, havo discovered that his ostato is
large onough not only to moet the hand
some bequests that ho mado for educational
institutions nn l for his relative?, but to
lervo something beside. This means that
lomothing like i3,SOO,000 will bo distributed
among 11(5 colleges and seminaries, and
about .500,000 among New York hospitals.
Tho largest gun made by Krupp in Ger
many is forty-four feet long and weighs
Ei 9, 000 pounds, its cnlibro being ntnoteen
and one-fourth inches. Tho projectile Is
four feet long, its weight being 2700 pounds
und the chargo of powder required is 700
pounds. Tho range of this monitor is twelve
miles and at uiuo miles its projectile will
penetruto twenty inches ot solid steel armor.
homo Idea or tlio power ot this wonpon can
bo gained from tho fact that it it were
planted on tho Now York shore of I.ako
C'lmmplniu its projectiles oald be eisily

i eduction of tbo duty imposed on lumber

nn export duty Is imposed Canada will havo
to pay an Jacreate of 1,000,000 duty ou
lumber going into tho United States at $2
lustead of tho 1 rato now imposed by tho
United States. This argument has interest
for lumber dealers ot Burlington as woll as
pthor towns in Vermont.

Growth of the Maple Sugar Industry
The growth of tho maple sugar industry
in tho United States is shown by the super
inteudont of census who has issued a report
dealing with tho subject. Mnplo 6Uzar Is
made to a greater or less extent in 21 States,
the total number of producers being Oi
071, of whom J.j,0oo made liUU pounds or
upward. Tho total production of maple
sugar for tho year ending May 31, 1800,
was 32.002,027 pounds, and ot syrup 2,258,-
370 gallons, as compared with 30,570,001
pounds of sugar and 1,700,018 gallons ot
syrup reported at tho preceding census. A
study of those figures indicates the marked
change which has taken place in this Indus
try during tho past decade many of tho pro
ducers making maple syrup instead of
sugar owing to tho increasing de
mand for tho formor.
It is significant that Vermont is credited
with nearly one-half of tho total maple
product ot the United States, this Stato
having produced 1-1, 123.021 pounds and
New York 10,1S3,028 pounds; as compared
with 11,201,077 pounds and 10,003,010
pounds respectively, at the preceding cen
sus. This is n handsome showing for our
State but the flguro3given form only a frnc
tiou of what is undoubtedly sold
for "pure Vermont maple sugar."
Collars and Vermont Politics.
In discussing Vermont politics the Poult
uov Journal recently said thnt "tho staud
ing collar worn by some men in both polltl
cnl parties in Vermont is becoming nllted,
and aomo ot them will be thrown among tho
dirty linens of tbo Sat9. It is true until
n fow years ngo tho collar was nn Innova
tlon In tha attiro ot gubernatorial candl
dates. Thero woro no political collars worn
by John Grogory Smith, Paul Dillingham
or John W. Stewart, nor did W. H. H,
Bingham put ono on, Tho votors ot Vor
mont havo been nccustomcd ot Into to view
tho caudldatos for their suffrages, when
placed on exhibition in tho campaign, woar
ing tho turn down collar of some corpora
tion, aomo social order or 'personal boss.'
Tha standlug collnr with its r.lr of assump
tion, not to say Impertinence, may havo
causod resentmont or nt loast distrust,"
This leads tho democratic Troy Press to
indulgo In a littlo harmless fun nt Vermont's
expense and at tbo snmo time to print a puff
for Troy's lending industry. It says that
"political collars may woll bo dispeusod
with, although It cost an aspiring individual
a nomination for ofllce, but linen collars are
clearly inviting and indispousnble, nudcloan
ones of tho latest Troy patterns do much to
commend candidates to electors."
Sponking seriously thoro is undoubtedly
a disposition iu many quarters to dlscon
tlnuo tbo uso of political collars and tho
Poultnoy Journal evidently bad one eye cast
in tho direction of tho next democratic
Stato convention when it said "Down with
the standing collnr In Vermont polltlos In
1892."
Tho Vermont republicans, on the other
hand, have boon singularly froo from the
political collar evil, and the Journal might
have oxtondu 1 its list of republicans so as to
Include recent governors. Oov. William P.
Dillingham certainly oro no political col
lar, and no one would dream of charging
Gov. Pa:o with being thus adorned, and so
far tho campaign of 1802 is concerned
the Vermont republican! can be trusted to
"do up" nny political collars which may
make their appearance nt tho coming Stato
convention,
Tho CaitnltiK Industry In Vermont.
Tho FllEB Pnisss stated a fow reasons tho
othor day why tho canning industry ought
to be established Iu Vermont and especially
in the Champlatn valloy. The east side of
the Stato appears to bo taking tho lead In
this direction, howovor, the announcement
having just been made that a corn canning
establishment is to be located at Westmins
ter. Tho residents In that community went
to work in exactly the right way to ensure
tho succesi of the project. Baxter Bros, of
Maine desired to establish a canning factory
that nt tho height of tho soason would em
ploy 200 hands and consumo tho product of
at least 830 acres of awoet corn. The farm
ers in tho vlclnltj pledged themselves to de
vote that acreage to cornfor tho purpose. A
company was formed among tho residents
who purchased a sito and leased it to tho
firm for a term of years, and building oper
ations will soon begin so that the factory
will bo iu readiness for thla season's crop,
The result will be that Westminster will
shortly bo In the possession ot an estubllsh
mont which will turn out 250.UUU cans an
nually and add betwem $3000 and $10, 000
to the revenue ot the community.
There are a number of other localities In
Vermont which offer just as good induce
monts for the ostnblishraont of the canning
industry as Westminster, if not better, and
Vormontor8 who have surplus capital which
tboy ore bothered to invest can find In this
diroction an excellent oponing. Burling'
ton or some other favorablo point in Chit
tenden county would bo an excellent place
for a canning establishment, and Addison
county and Franklin county ought also to
offer peculiarly favorable inducements for
this industry. Capitalists from other States
are investing quite largely In Vermont aud
opportunities of this kind will soon bo snap
pdd up. What town will secure tho next
canning factory ?

Fairbanks and Grout aro not making a
push for the nomination, though each of
them has friends wbo would bo glad ot their
advancement. Grout has made a good
record as speaker during two sessions and,
but for the fact that his brother Is a con
gressman, bo would bo actively in tho race
with a good chanco for winning. He may
come in strong at tho last end as a compro
mise candidate.
Saved tliw ltoard of Agriculture.
From tho Barton Monitor. 1
During the session of tho Legislature of
1880, when Col. Levi K. Fuller waa lleuten
ant-governor, and by virtue of his otllce
'president ot tho Senate, u grtat huo and cry
wa made against tbo Board of Agriculture
aud a bill, having been passed by the House,
to ubolish the same, came before ttie Sen
ate. The discussion in thut body was brief,
and tbo voto upon the bill a tie. Col. Fuller
cast bis vote agalnat the bill and the board
waa saved. We havo heard from time to
time somo critioism against tho board,
which have been made for tho greater part
by those who have prejudice against "book
farming," or more particularly, perhaps,
against anything tbat uuotuer man knows
on tho subject ot ugrlculture. The board
ia iu being; and tho two men, William
Chapln and Victor I. Spear, both prom
ineutly mentioned as lit governor candl
dates, are on that board, doing useful work
for the business and farming Interests of tbo
State. If Col. Fuller had cast hia vote the
other way, wo imagine himself and caudl
dates Chapia and bpear would havo been
very effectually "abolished" when the law
went under.

At 11 o'clock President Barber arose and
made a few congratulatory remarks over the

eronce to tho late E. II. Trick. He thou in
troduced the toastmastor of the evening
Hon. Robert Roborts. At tbat moment the
electric lights went out and Mr. Roberts
made the iuvidious romark that the present
Illumination was perhaps as bright as any
ot a different sort that would bo ofterod
during the remainder of the evening. He
paid tho erocers and meatmon a fow uoal
compliments, sandwiched iu a fow bits ot
humorous poetry aud prose and closed by tho
usual admonition enforcing the necessity ot
brevity and a ploasaut introduction of
Mayor Haselton.
the toastmastor had mado a rather ae
precatory roforeuco to the lawyers present,
and Mr. Unselton made sure to overcome
thla impression. Lawyers, he said, should

Rev. H. L. Whoolerwas then Introduced,
and he olfered a few words which
ho tot forth tho idea of tho value
of the mutual intercourse of mou
and the necessity of cultivating manly
qualities and of being true men.
Hon. Henry Ballard replied to tuo toast
that was propounded by Toastmastor
Roberts by telling tbo story of the inerchnut
who said that ho had got tired of telling eix
lies to sell a half dozen csnts worth of goods
and thcu charging it in tho end, addln
fow more facetious remarks, nnd closing by

The presiding olllcvr disclaiming any po

who said that tho mayor's remark about
the board ot trade had knocked out hia best
ideas it ho had lmJ uny earlier in the
ovenlog. He said be was still president
of the board, as for certain proventative
reasons no successor had been elected. Col.
Woodbury thou told a story at tho expeuso
ot Dr. Grlunell and was gieoted with ap

J. 11. ilolton referred to tho lateness ot

timo bo thought lawyers wore butclnrs.
(This was when ho paid the bill.) They wore

Tho toast that was loft in tho hands of D.
J. Foster received the usual amount of
humorous treatment. lie maintained that
the lawyers were "all right," notwithstand

them.
Editor B. S. Barrett responded to tho
toast dedicated to his fraternity. He said
that editors enjoyed "feasts of reason und

of roast turkey and How ot bowl. Lditor
Dodge came iu for a share ot the speaker's

Presiding Ofllcer Roberts reminded thoso

A nrominent democrat tnld after tho ad
jourumont that tho delegation to the Stato
convention btoou 11 ror uaseuoa aau iwo
for Atkins. The sontimout among tho local
democrats is greatly iu favor ot Mayor
Haselton nnd tha Atkins men wore allowed
on the ticket purely for local reasons which
threaten a discord in the party, the llilrd
ward democrats want n democrat appoin
ed chief of polico and tho opposition which
cronnod out early in tho caucus was don
with the intontloii ot iorclug aiayor iiasei
ton to stnte his position iu tbo matter, but
tho movement did not have enough support
to glvo it any serious phase and tho ruliug
by the chair put a quietus on the leadors.
Will bo a Mejurlty for Col. Fuller.
From the Vereennos Vcrmonter.l
While It may be too ourly to make pre
dictions tbat can be relied upon, wo venture
to say tbat wbeu the notes are counted at
Burlington noxt summer, there will bo
o majority for Col. Fuller, and it
there is the Vermonter tees nothing
to be cried over aud believes that tbe State
will find that it has made a wise choice iu
him. He certainly has many claims for tbe
ofllco and uu the qualifications requisite to
till it.
