completed there will be literally no
more States to adopt unless our
neighbors across the Canada border
conclude to come in and make one
circle of the great English-speaking
family in America.
All of the States yet to come in are
of vast size. The smallest is an en-
pire beside which the Empire State
seems almost puny. Yet the popula-
tions are not large enough to admit
of division now, except in the case of
Dakota, and the anxiety felt in all to
gain admission will effectually pre-
vent the growth of any sentiment in
favor of division. Once in the I'm
ion, experience shows that division,
except under phenomenal circumstan-
ces, like those of the two Virginias,
seems an impossibility. The people
of Texas have the right to demand
under their organic law it's division
into several States, thus multiplying
their present power in the Senate.
But the very suggestion of such an
idea only few months ago was re-
ceived by the press with universal
ridicule. The same proposition has
been made concerning California,
only to be secuted. 1t has often
been proposed that New-Yo City
and the surrounding territory should
be set off as one State, and the re-
mainder of the State as another, but
we venture to say that it would be
as easy to divide London from Eng |
and as to induce the people of New
Y ork to sacrifice their just pride in

While John Newman, one of the old
vetrans at the Vermont Soldiers Home,
and Edwin Elwell were hunting in Glas-
tenbury last week, they discovered bear
tracks in the snow and traced them to
small den. Feeling satisfied that larger
game then they had started out to hunt
was in the den, they went down to little
hamlet couple of miles distant and got
Charles Silver to aid them in digging it
out Returning with proper tools, they
began operations, while one was using an
axe, bears paw was reached out and
grabbed it, when Elwell put the contents
of his shot gun into the den. He had shot
and killed the owner of the paw, which
was a large black bear weighing 200 lbs.
On getting her carcass out, two little cubs,
not over six inches long, were found
These were killed also. The bounty on
the hides will amount to $45.

Value of the Corn Crop.

Representative Baker of Illinois
presented in the house last week a
/ petition asking that steps be taken to
set forth at the Paris exposition the
value of the corn crop of the United
States. The petition bristles with
statistics and says:
tOur corn crop just gatheredneyer,
before yielded such a bountiful har-
vest. Nearly 100000 bushels
were raised on 75,567,276 acres of
the finest land in the world, which
will bring us in nearly 100000, 900.
The train required to bring this inn
mense yield to the sea board would be
5000, 900 cars loaded with 662 bushels
each and nearly 10000 locomotives,
and would reach more than around
the world. So heavily loaded a train
travels slowly and would require a
whole year to pass through Chicago.
Iowa is the banner state for corn,
last year having raised 321 ,629,662
bushels, of the commercial value of
S73, ,974,891. This is almost equal to
the value of all the gold, silver and
lead mined in the United States in
1886. 1t is almost larger sum
than all the railroads in the United
States paid in dividends on stock in
that wear. 1t is s8.OOO,OOO more
than the totat net earnings of all the
national banks in America. 1t gives
to every man, woman and child in
the state, after reserving seed for 81
100000 acres, nearly six tons of

when this "mortality shall put on i'm
mortality" and we shall pass to the
heavenly land beyond.
We were soon taken on board the
ship, had new suit of clothes fur
nished, found water and soap for
bathing purposes, and were allowed
such quantities of food as we could
bear. Shortly afterward, we reached
Annapolis and were sent to the parol
camp. Here we were paid off, and a
very sad thing is the fact that great
many died from the effects of over
eating. We ought to have been kept
in hospitals until nature could have
SO gradually given us strength that
we could have borne an ordinary
meal of food.

Not large number of those who
endured the sufferings of the south
ern prisons have survived to this day;
but few are left to tell the sad tale,
who are bearing the burden of the
almost superhuman strain that was
inflicted upon them. The history of
modern times has no blacker tale to
record than the unnecessary, heart
less, terrible cruelty inflicted upon
the prisoners of war who fell into
rebel hands. 1t is probable that not
very many were responsible for the
the blackest crime of later times, but
Jeff Davis and a few remain, whose
names become more and more odious
as the cruel acts they did and per-
mitted to be done are reviewed in the
light of history. Let them 90 down
to oblivion with, not only the marks
of traitors upon them, but the record
of cruelties unknown to savage ages.
| have not sufficient data to tell
very closely how many perished in
prison, but it is stated that out of
80 ,006 who were sent to Anderson
vile, 12,426 persisted. Benedict's
''Vermont in the Civil War;" shows
that about 125 from the First Yer
mont Cavalry died in rebel prisons.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Feb. IN
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR

Washington. Feb. IN.
If General Harrison's call cry to
Senator Allison avails nothing, new
cabinet slate becomes a necessity
Two names alone remain fixed, Blaine
and Wanamaker. All else is conjec-
ture. Mr.. Platts friends very mildly
regret that Senator Allison has again
rejected the treasury portfolio, for
they now think they see a golden
feast for themselves in that depart
ment. There is now decided talk of
either John c. New or William Nc
Kinley for the treasury,a ,as it is known
that Gen. Harrison wants a western
man who is not connected with Wall
street or syndicates. 1t is a prime
necessity that he should be very
strong man, for Mr.. Blaine must not
be the only widely known man in the
new cabinet. Does not all this point
to Mr.. Mckinley?
Senator Allison's refusal, it is semi
officially stated, may be deemed final,
Mr.. Harrison having SO accepted it.
Senator Allison felt the embarrass-
ment of the position, but could not
see the necessity of making burnt
offering of himself. 1t would have
meant the absolute and unconditional
surrender of his prospects for 1892.
The supplications of his pretended
followers, who told him that if he re-
fused he would leave Iowa unrepre-
sented in the next cabinet, were but
the winnings of hungry pack who
wanted to divide the treasury depart
ment among themselves, over the ru-
ins of his presidential aspirations.
The senator would not have to be
more than half as canuy as he is to
see that.
The members of the ways and
means committee of the House are
making desperate effort to agree upon
a compromise tariff bill which they
desire to present to the House next
week or WITHIN few days, at most. 1t |
is currently rumored that the propos-
ed bill follows the precedent of the |
drunken Irishman whose blanket was
too short to cover him and who at
to remedy the defect by cut
ting a piece off one end and sewing it |
on the other. The senate bill, omit |
ting the alcohol in the arts clause and |
several high protection provisions,
will be deftly woven in with the mild
est features of the Mills bill. For
this purpose the committee is holding
daily meetings. The interest of the
southern democrats is kept up by the
to embrace their internal
revenue project in the bill, and few
are deluded with the hope that the
bill will pass during this session. a
that is barely visible to
the naked eye. But there is a burn
inc curiosity to see what sort of
looking object this compromise bill
will be- In addition to every other
obstacle, the preparation is necessari-
" hasty. Heaven be kind to con-
gress, so full of sins and with SO little
charity to cover them.

finally reached conclusion it is es-
bablished that President Harrison will

Our state board of health have

have an additional cabinet officer to
appoint. This is the end of an agi-
tation that has been more or less ac-
tive ever since General Grants first
term, and it is but tardy justice to
the farming interests, which will at
least have a secretary and depart
ment of agriculture. The so-called
agricultural department has long held
a curious position, being neither de-
partment proper nor a bureau of any
department. The necessity for a
new division of the administrative
branches of the government is neces-
sary. Behold the absurdity of a Sec
retary of the Interior having to con-
slider patents, lands, pensions, indians
education and labor. 1t would be
just as appropriate to have no divi-
sions in departments at all.

The British extradition treaty, dy-
Mantle clause and all, has been re-

senate. The senate committee has
long tinkered with this bill in the vain
hope of having it serve some good
end, with the dynamite clause omit
ted, but was unsuccessful. The only
senator who vigorously supported the
dynamite proposition, which it is
claimed would be made an excuse for
the extradition of political offenders,
was Senator Edmunds, whose hobby
for being in the minority rather grows
upon him.
