About a year ago Vermont enacted a

all their possessions, real and personal,

been TO raise the valuation of The State

the former rose from 81, ia, 900 to

Col. william NJ. WadIey.

General E. P. Alexander may have
great many friends in this State who
admire his abilities, and are willing to
believe that what he proposes to accom-
plish with his new policy in regard to
the Central Railroad is both justidable
and feasible, and will, if successful, re-
suit in no dqmage to the road or its
stockholders 1t is very evident, how
ever, from the rapid decline which Cen
trail stock has experienced, that his
friends have lost confidence in the move
ment which he inaugurated, and that
they are now strongly inclined to believe
that he will not be able to accomplish
what he has undertaken.
The cause of this loss of confidence is
not to be attributed wholly to the fact
that the legality Of the proposed issue of
interest-bearing certificates, based on the
earnings of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany, is to be tested in the courts. That
may, it is true, have something to do
with it, but if his schemes are practi-
cable-that is, if the Central itself can
easily make per cent. dividends. and
the earnings of the Ocean Steamship
Company can be counted on to in
crease those dividends-then, whether the
present Injunction is sustained or not,
the stock must be intrinsically valuable,
and would advance. This all parties in
interest well know, and therefore there
must be some other reason why we have
seen the stock, since General Alexander
Inaugurated his movement, fall in value
nearly $50 a share.
This reason is to be found, we believe,
in the opposition to General Alexander's
scheme by Colonel William NJ. Wadley.
That gentleman's name alone is tower
Of strength, and he has made it so him
self by his own merits and exertions.
He has been so long identified with the
great corporation of which he is the
head; he has labored so faithfully and
persistently to advance the interests of
the road and of Savannah; his labors
have been crowned with such marked
success, and he has proven so conserva-
tive and faithful to his trust, in season
and out of season, that he has won the
entire confidence of by far the greater
number of permanent investors in Cen
trail stock
This, we believe, is why there is such
manifest lack of confidence in the final
success of General Alexander's plans.
So great, indeed, is the trust reposed in
Colonel Wadley as a tried, true and
faithful steward, that any opposition by
him, and any movement in connection
with the management and policy of the
Central of which he does not
approve, must necessarily find his
disapprobation and opposition a seri-
Gus obstacle in the way of its success.
full consummation. Wise. prudent and
conservative holders of the stock will
always prefer to rely on a policy they
know by experience to be safe, rather
than trust to one new and untried, and
which may eventually eliminate in dis

Removing the Capitol.

A few years ago 1t was the fashion among
q certain CLIQUE of politicians, whose utter
ances were echoed by aportion of the press,
to clamor for the removal Of the Capitol
from Washington to some representative
Western city near to the geographical CEN
tire of the country. The topic seemed to
prove a seven days wonder, however, and
was soon forgotten IN the rush and require
ments Of the Nations urgent business. Now
whether the Capitol will ever be removed or
not Is not near so interesting a question to
some people as whether rheumatism can or
will be removed from their bodies. The sub
ject of the removal of this disease from the
system has very successfully interested my
riads of people, and from the extended eX-
press!ons conveyed by the almost innumer-
able statements received from representa-
tives of every class of the community, we
append the followed brief selection-pre-

The apportiOnment bill, fixing the
number Of Representatives at 325, re-
onires the division of the total popula-
ton Of the country by that divisor to
ascertain the number of inhabitants to
the Representative. The population Of
the States, exclusive of the Territories,
is 40 81, $40. This, divided by 325, gives
Isl. 917. This quotient represents the
number of inhabitants which would fall
to each Congressional district if it were
possible to divide the whole country into
districts exactly equal in population; but
State lines interfere with the division, so
that remnants OF surpluses fall to each
State. Dividing each State by this quo
tient gives full districts to only 800
members, and thus 10 members are left
40 be provided for by the States having
the largest surplusage. The bill names
the States that are entitled to these, and
assigns them accordingly. This modulus
fixes the allotment to States till the next
decimal census. Therefore, in 1890 the
representative basis wiz be 151, 917 and
the 16 largest fractions.

Hon. Wilkinson Call, United States
Senator from Florida, is in favor of the
United States acting as mediator between
Peru and Chilli, and he also favors Mr..
Blaine's idea of a congress of the vari-
Gus American governments in the inter
ests of universal peace hereafter upon
this continent. On Monday last he in
troduced in the Senate the following
resolution:
Res0l0ed, That the interests of peace
between nations, the obligations and
rights which are reciprocal between the
United States of America and all the
other peoples and governments of the
Americas, as well as the commercial in
terests of the people of the United
States, render it proper that the Govern
ment of the United States should, in
some proper form, adopt measures to
settle the controversy between Chill and
Peru, and prevent the fOrcible dismem-
berment of Peru.
That a congress, to be convened in
Washington city and composed of rep
resentatives from the peoples and gov
ernments of the different States of North
and South and Central America. for the
purpose of agreeing on some just method
of settlement of all questions now exist
ing or that shall hereafter arise between
these governments, would be wise and
beneficial measure.

The Mckinley bill, formulated in the
interest Of the steel monopoly, proposes
to increase the duties on steel blooms
from S12 So a ton to $50 40; steel wire
rods from S13 A. to $50 40; iron cotton
ties from S14 Al to $33 go; iron hoops
for casks from $14 81 to $33 60. This
bill is designed to crush all small steel
manufacturers for the benefit of the
monopoly, and will saddle an additional
tax of nearly 100000 on Southern
planters on the ties they buy. Com
menting on this, the Louisville Courier
Journal says: Let Southern cotton
growers reflect on this gouge game of
the protectiOnists and then decide if they
are willing to be taxed thus outrageous
" to support a monopoly. These very

The census report will not be com
pleted for several months, the work on
the specialties being very laborious. The
last report was contained in 8, 500 pages
of printed matter. The census of 1880
will comprise 80, 900 quarto pages. The
special subjects treated are thirty-two in
number, including social statistics of
cities, defective, delinquent and depend
ent classes, forest wealth, gas, quarry
ing, orchard fruits, meat production. in
surance, debts, wealth and taxation,
ETC., etc. The work Of collecting facs
has been done by 800 employees and
81, 3S2 enumerators. The first census
report was contained in a volume OF
fiftY-two pages, and was issued in Octo-
Der, 1891. The contrast between that
volume and the report which will ap-
pear IN a few months will be startling.

A Republican Steal Shown Up.

From the Grand Rapids Evening Leader.
The outrage upon the taxpayers il
the publication of the list of land,
held for taxes by the State, is forcibly
and truthfully set forth in the article
copied from the ALPENA ARGUS
The subject is one that should arouse
the taxpayers to a realization of the
corrupt character Of Republican rule
in Michigan. We have no knowledge
of a more bare-faced steal than this.
1t is estimated that this job will cost
the taxpayers of Michigan not less
than $4,000, all for the sole benefit
of the Republican press of the State,
without dollar in return to the peo-
pie.
There was not the least necessity
for the publication of this list of lands.

Homes in Michigan.

1t is during the winter months that
plans for new homes are generally
discussed, especially among the farm
ing population, and this is an especi-
ally suitable time, therefore, to call
the attention of readers of this paper
to the fact that the pamphlet on
Michigan and its Resources" pub
lished by authority of the State, and
containing an excellent map, together
with a large fund of information con-
corning its remarkable resources and
its unoccupied lands, will be sent free
of charge to any address on applica-
ton to the Commissioner of Immigra-
ton, Detroit. An epitome of this
pamphlet has been printed in the Ger
man and Holland languages. Resi-
dents of Michigan having friends in
other states or countries who are con-
templating a change of residence may
render them valuable service by send
ing their address to the commissioner.
