DoHEsrIc Fowls IN NINTER-0SE Of the
greatest errors that prevails IN the management
Of the domestic fowl, and one OF which must be

Of leaving them TO 'shIfk for themselves" during
the winter months. There Is no animal on the
farm that bolierrerays for good keeping than the
hen, and with Ii, there is none that affords SO
much profit on the capital employed. The hen
should have a close warm roost, for there are few
creatures that suffer more from cold than fowls;
they should have Il box Of gravel, sand, ashes, &c

VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The Virginia election took place on Thurs
day Of last week, and we have not as vet re-.
ceived sufficient returns, of course, to enable
us to decide definitely as to the result. We
presume, however, the Tories have carried
the State as usual, This State is one Of
their strong hoids,-being the hot-bed Of
SLAVERY, anti-protection, and I" free trade"
We hope we shall be able to give the par
ticuars next week. Meantime, we would
admonish our readers that the friends Of
northern interests. and ola Protective Tariff,
have nothing to hope from this State, and if
the result is suspicious, it will be so much
clear gain. This, however, we again say.
we do no, expect; for Virginia cas-, her
electoral vote for Van Buren, in 1910, and
has always been the prolific mother Of" 40

FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 6. 1912.

Resolved. That the Wing party, having the Erec-
utire and large present majority in both Houses of
Congress- are alone responsible TOR this neglect
of the ri hts and interests Of the wool growers Of YER
mont.
This resolution was adopted at the Tory
convention holden in this town on Tuesday
of last week, in the face and eyes of the
notorious and acknowledged fact, that almost
every Tory member of Congress. and all the
leading Tory papers in the country are OPP
posed to imposing any protective duties
whatever!!! The Tory party, as a party,
have al,oays opposed the principle of pro-
tection-they are opposed to it now, and
they are doing all in their power to defeat
the new Tariff bill of Mr.. Satonstall. They
60 for Tariff for rerenue alone, and that
only with repeal of the Land Distribution
bill Of the extra session, Which will of course
diminish the necessary reuenuc duties. Fa-
voring Tariff for rerenue alone, they are
utterly opposed, as a party, to any discrim-
ination in favor of our own labor and in
dustry. We have proved this repeatedly, by
the published resolutions of the Legislatures
of New York, Maine, and Massachusetts !;
by the votes and speeches OF the Tory menu
bers of Congress, and by extracts from the
leading Tory papers in the country. And
we now call the attention of our neighbor Of
the Sentinel, of his readers and of our read
ers, and far the second time, to the follow
ing resolution of the last Tory State con-
vcnton which ever assembled in Vermont.
Resolred, That the true principle Of the Federal
Government is TO confne its action 20 the objects
! specifically enumerated ~ the Constlu on, lEAV-
| ING INDUSTRY TO REGULATE ITSELF!!!
This resolution, after having been dis
cussed by several members of the convention,
viz: Ncssrs. Barber, Dillingham;, FAR,
and others, was unanimously adopted. The
same resolution, in the same identical words
was adopted by the Tory Legislature Of New
Hampshire, just before the convention met
What say you, Mr.. Sentinel, do you go thi'
doctrine of your party! or do you " bach
out" and embrace the good Wing principle
of protection? Walk right up to the mark
Dana, and answer the question like mai

sustain it; if you sustain the doctrine, yo'

A terrible AFFAIR AT LoUIsvtLLE.-One
man burnt 10 death and another mmdered.-A
fire broke out at Louisville on the 10Th inst.
which consumed house in which there was a
sick man, a stranger, who became victim to
the flames. 1t is supposed that person not
known TO the family where the sick man lay,
who came few days previous and assumed the
authority of taking charge of him and his ef-
fec,s set the building on fire. Several other
adjoining houses were also destroyed before the
flames could be checked.
The most terrible part of this affair is yet to
relate. Whilst the fire was raging, gentle
man named Patten, an old and highly respecta-
BILE citizen, removed his furniture, fearing that
his house might also be consumed. After the
fire had been completely extinguished, and the
hustle and turmoil attendant thereon had some.
what subsidized, Mr.. Patten proceeded to replace
his property; and whilst in the act of doing so,
was attacked in the passage leading TO his
house By a man armed with Bowie knife, who
coolly and deliberately, without the slightest
provocation, stabbed him to the heart, and made
his escape. This unfortunate man expired al
most instantly, but with his last breath uttered
in language loud enough to be heard, that his
murderer was named Mclaughlin, who has
since been identified, apprehenGed and mpris-
oned, to await his trial. 1t lie the opinion of the
Louisville Journal, that that city is at present
infested with frightful gang Of incendiaries
and that the fire here mentioned, was un1oubt.

ALL INTERESTS MUST RISE OR FALL
TOGETHER

Our Tory opponents are frequently found
warning upon particular classes of citizens
for the purpose Of ingratiating themselves
into the favor of others. Thus for example,
the Banks, the merchants and the manufac-
turerers have, each IN their turn, been the
victims Of their crusade, professedly in favor
of the farming interest as if they did not
know that, when the banking, commercial,
and manufacturing interests are Frustrated,
the farmer must necessarily sympathise in
their distress, and suffer in the common Ca
lamity. This is especially true with regard
TO a Tariff for the protection Of the various
producing classes of the country. The
Tory doctrine of I" Free Trade" would not
only PROSTATE the manufacturer, but also the
mechanic and the farmer. On this subject
we find the following very just remarks in
a late number of the Baltimore American
! Every mechanic is manufacturer upon limited
scale. For the most part he is an independent pro-
pretor invests his own capital, employs JouIneymen
on his own account superln'enus ms own business

THE APPORTlONMENT BILL.

The House Of Representatives, after
long and animated discussion, have adopted
"A new number as the ratio of representa-
ton for the next ten years. The number
they have now settled upon is 50,l79. The
vote, on adopting this ratio, was 90 yeas, TO
50 nays-a majority, which would seem to
settle the question, so far as the House Of
Representatives is concerned. According
to this ratio, the number of members in the
House, will be increased to three hundred
and six. The present number is two hum
drcd and forty-two. The new ratio will add
forty-hve to the number of members from
the Free States and nineteen to the number
from the Slave States, as will appear from
the following table which we cut from the
ATLAS. Mississippi will have the larges,
unrcpresented fraction and Vermont the

THE CAUSE OF PROTECTION.

We are happy to discover by what we see
coming from Washington that better feel
ing is actuating portion of the Members Of
Some of the Southern Wings, who, at the
commencement the present session of Con-
gress, were hostile to Protection, and who
voted on some of the preliminary questions
with the locos, are gradually yielding, and
will vote with their Northern Wing breth-
rem for Protection. This change has been
effected by the stir among the People and the
etfortsand arguments of,he Protection Wings
in Congress, whose labors to secure this re-
suit have been unwearied.
AT the same time, undeserved blame has
been heaped upon them, by faint hearted
Wings this they would expect from Locofo-
cos, Of course, )who could not understand the
herculean task that was resting upon them.
And for this reason tho Tariff question has
been delayed, while important Reforms and
Rotrenchments have been pushed forward
and an amount ofbusiness transacted not ex-
ceeded by any Congress for ten years.

present Congress will give us good Protec'

Foco against the validity of the Instructions.
But it will probably excuse tho Wings for
not obeying them; for when they passed the

rum, in order to force them through, The
Tory majority refused Wing member the
right to speak to the question. The Albany

HOSTILITY OF LOCOFOCOISM TO

Their zeal is too new born. their conversion too
sudden not to subject it to deserved suspicion of
sincerity. While the fact that we never find
their associates, either in word or Decd either
Gy their votes or their conduct, acting with
them, or supporting their views, shows how
lite American industry has to hope from their
support. Give Us an open enemy rather than
