Bill Nye Oh Inauguration.

We American people, accompanied by
forty-nine bands, are here. We are here
partly on account of our loyalty and
partly to press on General Harrison the
fact that we were the first to mention
his name as a candidate. We are here
to say mean things about the president
who goes out tomorrow and who, there
fore, can not help us any more. Also
to say good things of the new one who
will kiss the Bible tomorrow and open
carload of patronage for the patriotic
American citizens, who are here not
because they want anything at all, but
just because they want to show the new
president that they are going to stand
by him, even when he could get along
very well by himself and would rather
do so. Everything is " inauguration :"
here. | inaugurated last night the
custom of sleeping in the hotel elevator.
1t is new thing with me. | have
slept before all the crowned heads of
Europe. Also in the park, but it is
different from any of those. | have
also slept in folding bed, in the gloam-
ing and in railroad accident, but the
hotel elevator is more surprising than
any of these. This morning my wish
bone struck out through the back of
my overcoat. a fat man, who first
thought of General Harrison as a can
didate and who never said anything
else all his life, sat down on me and
drawing a deep sigh, remained sitting
on me till | woke up and inserted my
scarf-pin in the northeast corner of his
soul. He then arose and said sudden
thought had just occurred to him.
Washington is a big amphitheater of wet
plank seats, which you can occupy to-
morrow at from twenty-five cents to
IS per squat. If could have such an
audience right along, would like to
go into the president business for
seventy-tive per cent of the gate re-
ceipts and pay the advertising expenses
myself. Bill Nye.

quaintance of most of the leading men
in the town and many Of the woman
and children. The leading merchant
is from the town of Dennis, on Cape
Cod; the postmaster from Chicago, the
minister from Saratoga, the school
teacher Ga Mrs. EWING from Williams
town, VT, and there are several fam
lilies from Texas and California. Even
the native Crackers are a kindly and
forgivng race. AT my left hand at the
table sat man whose father was hanged
by the Yankees at New Smyrna in war
time, when the gun-boats went in and
sheled that town. 1t was said they
found the man killing the negroes to
keep them from running away. The
mail-carrier was an old veteran of the
lost cause" Yet these men have a
kindly welcome for the northern man
and don't care much about his politics
if he has only money to pay his bills
literally. Agriculturally, this is rather
poor state. Aside from fruit-growing,
sweet potatoes, cabbages, turnips,
onions and some other vegetables flour
ish fairly well. Northern potatoes
grow and rpen quickly, but tend to re-
has to be renewed from the North every
year. The great staple grain and for
age crops, like grass, oats, wheat, rye
and corn, are not much raised in those
sections of the state | visited.
Too much of the land is either too sandy
or swampy ever to be rich farming
state. OF course as the country gets
settled up more of it will be drained,
and quite possibly something may yet
be done with the sandy pine lands,
that are now almost worthless. On the
whole, | am inclined to think that Gods
blessings are pretty evenly distributed
over the habitable part of the earth.
Vermont has her rocks and snow drifts
to contend with, but has a fertile soil
and great variety of rich food products.
Florida has a mild and lovely climate
and no rocks; is rich in fruits, game and
fish, but has to contend with mos
quitoes, sand-hies, malaria and laziness.
You pays your money and you takes
your choice.n 1t will cost you about
800 each to go and see the country,
and it is well worth the while if you
can afford it. Our return was hurried
little by premonition that sap was
going to run. We arrived at the old
homestead the 18th of March, and the
same day the boys tapped about five
hundred naples that have been on a
regular gush ever since. This hasty
scrawl has been made up between the
patches of sugar, and if it is little
sticky, that is the reason. l shall al
ways have pleasant memory of the
South and its people, and frmer faith
in our great country for having gone
across it. &C.
Middlesex, March %, 1899.

adverse to the amendment, while twelve
favored the measure. Twenty-one
physician expressed opposing views
and five supported the amendment,
Henry l. Bowditch leading the former.
President Eliot of Harvard was among
six college officials who opposed the
amendment, against two who favored
it. The transcripts consensus "
goes to show that among the men of
Massachusetts who were trained to the
practical and reasonable consideration
of questions, the trend of intelligent
opinion is against constitutional pro-
hibition.
But the transcripts showing is not
conclusive. There is enough to it, how
ever, to raise very serious doubts as to
the adoption of the amendment in the
old Bay State. The result in New
Hampshire, and the fact that the legis-
lature of Rhode Island, after two years
of constitutional prohibition-and free
rum-has voted to resubmit the ques-
ton to the people, must have depress-
ing inhue, ce upon the cause in Massa-
chusetts and elsewhere. The discus
sion should be full, free and fair all
along the line. The question should
be decided upon its merits, and after
the decision is made the friends of
temperance should bridge the chasm of
divergent or opposing views, or fill it
with the accumulation of dogmatsm
and intolerance that is impeding the
progress of so great cause, and
march over to united assault on the
saloon. " In union there is strength"
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1889-03-27

THE complications of the politico-
religious situation in Canada increase.
Both the liberals and the conservatives
are divided on the subject. The ques-
ton at issue arises from the following
facts: When the English conquered
Canada they refused to recognize tho
title of the Jesuits to the land given
them by the French. Afew years after
ward the Jesuit order was suppressed
by the pope. In 1914 the society was
revived by another pope, and this, it is
claimed, revived also the rights of the
Jesuits to the land from which they had
been dispossessed. The strongly Catho-
lie legislature of the Province of Quebec
Endorsed this claim and awarded the
Jesuits 100000. 1t will be seen that
this action ignores the disallowance of
the British authorities century and a
quarter ago, or at least indicates that
it was overruled by a papal decree
issued more than fifty years later. The
question of allowance or disallowance
is now before the Dominion parlia-
ment. AS we have said, there is grave
difference of opinion, AID the agitation
must be very annoying to those pOliti-
clans who wish to carry water on both
shoulders by conciliating alike their
Protestant and Catholic constituents.

Two native Vermonters, now residents of
Washington, Colonel Frank G. Butterfield
and Captain Fred Mack, are candidates for
the Office of deputy commissioner of pen
sions
The senate has done little during the past
week except confirm nominations and kill
time. Several matters of business of minor
Importance have been languidly discussed,
without action.
SECRETARY WINDOW is said to be authority
for the statement that there will be no
change in the Office of United States treas
urer, now held by Mr.. j. w. Hyatt, before
the end of the present fiscal year, June 80.
SENATOR GILMAN MARsToN said few
days since: Not quite two weeks have
passed since March 4, but we have found
out one thing. We elected only one man
president and have only one man for presi-
dent"
WALTER Q. GRESHAM of Indiana is re-
garded as the probable successor of the late
Justice Matthews on the supreme bench and

appointed j. Lowrie Bell, former traffic
manager of the Philadelphia Reading
railroad, as superintendent of the railway
mail service. He has also appointed James
n. Tyner of Indiana TO be assistant-attorney-
general of the postoflice department.
AMONG the names sent to the senate by
the president last Thursday was that of
Edwin Willets of Michigan TO be as
sistant secretary of agriculture. The
early adjournment of the senate on Friday,
on account of the death of Judge Matthews,
prevented the sending of any nominations
that day.
SECRETARY WINDOW has appointed T. Il
Byrnes of st. Paul, Mimi, to be chief OF

Brief Notes of Travel.

The twelve days from February IS to
March II we spent at Oak Hill, on the
southeast coast of Florida, were among
the pleasantest in our recollection.
What so rare as a day in Junew
Here we got the Vermont June days in
the first part of March. The average
temperature was about sixty degrees,
every day clear and bright, with light,
breezy winds through most of the day
time. The big Atlantic Hotel here on
the seashore has been closed lately on
account of the death of its owner, but
we found a good boarding-place with
one Tom Adams, a Maine man, who
has been down in this country dozen
years or so. A large part of the people
in this town are from New England.
For low-boarders we had some Bos-
ton winter visitors and four young
English hunters who, it'll their guide,
dogs, guns, etc, seemed to want almost
the whole house-nice young men, no
doubt, but they made bad mess of the
United States language. They kept us
well supplied with various kinds of
game birds-quail, snipe, black duck
teal, widgeon, wild turkey, etc. With
these, and plenty of fresh fish, green
turtles and fat oysters, we Jared
sumptuously every day" Poor Tom
had to pick birds till his hands swelled,
and the women had lots of wings and
plumes.

for " a fish story" The fact is, " can

far as catching fish was concerned, /

| saw near my hook one fish that was
about four feet long. did not catch
him, and am glad he did not catch me.
AS to the alligators, | only heard them
boom or below in the cypress swamps;
/ did not see one at all, or rattlesnake
either, except a small dead one beside
the road. Bear and deer, wild turkey
and catamount, are common in the
woods and the coons and 'possums are
too thick for corn-raising. On the
whole, it is rather gamy country, as
most new countries are apt to be. The
present settlements have mostly been
made since the war of '6l and largely
by northern and western immigrants
Many traces remain of the old Spanish
occupation all along the east coast. Old
rows can be traced through the wood:
where, some hundreds of years ago, they
raised sugar-cane, rice, indigo-plant
etc. Some of the old watts are still seer
where they soaked the indigo-plant to
get the true blue out of it.
The people seem very friendly ant
sociable. In twelve days made the &C
