The Reason

Why, l. W. Harper's Nelson County Whskey
is preferred above all other Brands is because it
is the most regular and most perfect Product,
incontestably ever made. A long experience in
the mar ufacture of the Harper, the large Capt.
tai of the Dstiler, which enables him TO hold
his Whiskey until it has fully ma,ured, together
with the fact that the Whiskey IS bought by
and shipped to us direct froms the Dstilery ac-
counts for the unvaryng satisfaction it has
given those best educated to fine Whiskey.

Ii is rather an lnir.quent occurrence that pure
luck and pure merit travel hand in hand. re-
markab!e instance of this loving combin alton
has just been demonstrated by Chief-Justce Ra-
ney, who at the drawing provided for by the
Constitution, drew both the prizes, TO wit: TIE
Chief Justiceship and the long or six-year term
Of office. The position 10 which Chiet-Justice
Raney had hitherto reached was accomplished
by the merit o. his mastery brain, lndonitable
will and untiring pplication-qualities that ever
bring in their wake the competest success. But
this drawing is the result of pure luck and we
congratulate the Chief Justice and the State Of
Florida upon the result. Everywhere the news
will be received with gratlticaiion.

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1889-01-02
Vermont and General Harrison.

Some of the Vermont republicans
deem that they have something of a
claim on the consideration of President
Harrison when it comes to the distribu-
ton of cabinet portfolios. OF all the
state delegations at Chicago that from
Vermont alone cast its solid vote for
General Harrison from the first to the
last ballot. Even Indiana dill not do
as much for her favorite son. YER
mont's delegation had nothing to do
with any of the various political pools
formed at Chicago, did no swapping,
made no special parade about its action,
but a. often as the roll was called
quietly responded, " Eight for Har-
Iison.n Vermont believed General
Harrison to be the strongest candidate
in the field, and so Just stuck to him.
There was no more modest delegation
at Chicago, and Vermont maintained
a modest, dignitied attitude during the
canvass that followed Both in Sep
TENDER and November she rolled up
unprecedented republican maiorities.
AS to her repuhlicanism, there can be
no question about its orthodoxy or its
genuineness. She has never given her
vote for a democratic president and
has never swerved in the least from
her republican principles. 1t will
strike most people that should Vermont
request a cabinet portfolio for one of
her sons she might be able to make out
a pretty strong case. If General Har-
rison is looking for a New England
member of his cabinet, why of course
Massachusetts and Maine and New
Hampshire and Rhode Island and Con-
necticut are full of statesmen; but at
the same time there are Vermont re-
publcaus who would add strength to
any cabinet. We do not understand,
however, that Vermont is making any
demands. boston Traveller.

far as regards the ratios of exports, it
appears that Europe took 1886 per cent
of the total in 1883, against 76.2S per
cent in 1860, while North America took
only 110i per cent in 1888, as against
1926 per cent twcnty-eight years ago,
the provinces and countries having be-
come much more largely self-sustaining.
Attention is also TO be directed TO the
marked increase in our export trade to
the United Kingdom and Germany, the
gain in the former case having been
from SlG6, 000, 900 in 1860 to S35S 200, 900
in 1888, the ratios to The total being
respectively 52.5 and 523S per cent, or
over half the domestic exports to all
countries. The value of The exports
to Germany increased from Sl2 ESQ., 600
in 1860 to $50 5000 in 1883, the ratio
to the total increasing from 40l per
cent in the former TO S.13 per cent in
the latter period. The Stockholders.

The Women Did 1t.

On one of the most stormy, disagree cable
days OF the year nearly seventeen thousand
noble, patriotic women of Boston went to
the polls and voted. This is not the first
time the mothers, wives and daughters Ofthis
country have taken up the broom of reform
and done surprising work for the nteres is
of their children and families Although
over twenty thousand Boston women regis
tered hardly any one Save the women them
selves believed they would actually vote.
This proves that every year new avocations
are opening where women demonstrate
their ability, as well as capability to trans
act business for themselves and make
money. Women living near a village or
large town can make many dollars "pin
money every year raising poultry and eggs.
Mrs. James l.. Burgess, Nashua, n. H.,
says she cleared last year from only sixteen
hens S;6.59 for eggs alone. She could have
cared for one hundred sixty hens easily
and made ten times as much. She attributes
her success to the use of Sheridan's Condi-
ton Powder to make hens lay There is no
doubt that powder is a great help. The
manufacturers have for years offered cash
premiums to consumers and proof OF what
we before said of women is the fact that
every year woman captured one of their
larger premiums. This year the first pre-
MUM is 5000 in gold, and we should
not be bit surprised if some woman
got it; il not, she will get a lot of eggs to
sell from using the powder. Mrs. Mary j..
Glenn of Rnstburg, Va, says 50 Before
using Sheridan's Powder / was getting from
forty hens five to seven eggs per week ;
during eight weeks, while using it, | got
from the same hens eight hundred eighty

Mr.. BLAINE's friends-undoubte
with his consent-demand for him the
secretaryship of state. They recog-
nize the fact that if he does not get
that his influence in American politics
will be very limited hereafter, and that
those who have antagonized everybody
else for his sake must expect to share
his political fortunes with him. Against
such possibility they are struggling
desperately. How heavy is the pres
