Bad weather For Good Indians.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 5.-A special to the
Bee from Pine Ridge agency says Zero

sleet prevail here. The troops are hug
ging their camp fires, while the Indians
are freezing in their gauze tepees just
outside of the agency precincts. To-day
Agent Roger will l'call in all the Indians

The Foreign Wheat Market.

Free-trade attorneys, British and
American, persistently seek the sup
port of farmers by holding out the
promise of enlarged foreign markets
for the products of the farm as the re-
suit of ENGRAVING the Golden policy
into our national legislation. The hol-
lowness of such promise becomes APP.
parent when it is remembered that not
only is the quantity of farm products
which foreigners will consume limited,
but that the privilege of supplying this
is contested by other farmers who are
in position to crowd prices below the
cost of production in this country.
Take the case of wheat, which is the
chief article of export from grain
raising farms. Last year the wheat
shipped abroad as grain and flour
amounted to about 50 100000 bushels.
OF this nearly four-fifths went to west
ern Europe-over 80 1855, 5S4 bushels of
it to Great Britain, which was less than
the average sold there for the past
eighteen years. Such falling off in the
quantity sold to our British customers
is not the result of our inability to sup
ply their needs, but of the fact that
wheat-raisers from other countries were
on hand as competitors ready to sell for
less price than American wheat
raisers could afford to take for their
grain. While the quantity of American
wheat sold to Great Britain fell off
9O,0OO,0OO bushels in 1887, to fifty-fve
and quarter million bushels in 1899,
the quantity supplied by Russia in
creased nearly fourfold in the same
time-that is to say, from 1854 ,607
bushels in 1887, to 39,S00,372 BUSH
els in 1SS9--not because the United
States had not the wheat to sell,
but because wheat could be bought
cheaper from Russia than America.
Consumers were too hard pressed by
poverty to give heed to theories of re-
ciprocity in commerce. They bought
their bread of those who sold cheapest,

A Hardy, Industrious Race.

The first number of the new periodi-
cal, The quill, contains several able
and suggestive articles, but no one of
them will interest general readers in
this state quite so much as that by
Major A, b. Valentine on "Swedish
immigration. In this short paper he
sums up his earnest convictions regard
ing the Swedes and the experiment
of settling them on Vermont soil. He
reminds his readers of the relationship
between the Scandinavians and our
selves. The bold Rollo led his sea
rovers to the north of France, and Nor
mandy was peopled. William the Con-
queror, descendant of Rollo, crossed
the channel, captured England, mixed
his half French and half Scandinavian
blood with that of the Saxons, and
made the best type of Englishmen.

OF its scenery is unexceled by any in
America. The soil is as productive az any
in New England and you are near the best
markets. Let the state appropriate and ex-
pend not paltry $4,000, but 5000 600, in es-
tablishing emigration bureaus in Norway
Denmark and Scotland, as well as Sweden,
and advertise literally in the States and
Canadas, and then you will get a boom that
will amount to something A wide acauaint-
ance with the farmers of the West and ex-
tensve travel lead me to believe that the
agricultural regions in the Western States

are about to abandon and forfeit their claims
to loan companies, and the condition of
those settlers is pitiable indeed In parts of
Nebraska and Dakota the same condition of
affairs exists There is an immense de-
crease in the value of real estate, and capt.
talists are going out of there to Missouri
and elsewhere to loan their money.
Then let the people of Vermont be of
good cheer. Vermont still has Edmunds
and the Green Mountains. They loom up
pretty big and are not easily ignored, and
all true Vermonters ought to feel proud of

stead of the paltry expenditure of the
past two years the state should spend
money with wise and well-considered
liberality in advertising her advantages.
The WATCnMAN has for years been an
earnest advocate of vigorous measures,
persistently but iudiciously pushed, to
advance the states prosperity. In va
rious ways during the past ten years
the state has " fooled away" money
that, in the hands of a good business
agent, might have decidedly changed
the present unpromising aspect of
affairs. The state must spend less
money for supernumeraries, unneces-
sary judges and Improbable militia
officials, for example; less in the show
business, that enormous junket called
MUSTER" for instance; less in local
steals like those in Franklin and Grand
Isle counties, less in dress parades,
less in monumental masonry and costly
centennial observances, and more in
rebuilding the material fortunes of the
state, or she will be fortunate if she so
much as remains at a stand-still, while
her sister states are booming ahead.

Vote!

Let every republican go TO the polls
on Tuesday next and VOTE, first for
governor and the other state officers
and for the county ticket. This duty
performed, the choice of town repre-
sentative who shall, by his wisdom
and virtue" contribute to the working
out of much-needed moral and eco
nomic reforms in this state, should
receive the citizens serious attention.
The choice of a governor and of sem
ators has been forestaled by the action
of nominating conventions. The COM
position of the house of representa-
tives is still in the hands of the voters.
Bring to the performance of this most
important work high sense of duty.
Put personal considerations under foot.
1t is no mans I" turn to represent his
town. No man has earned" the
right to sit in the house of representa-
tives. That right is the gift of the
people. The constitution requires that
"The house of representatives of the
freemen of this state shall consist of
persons most noted for wisdom and
virtue" This is not an idle form of
words. 1t is the chief stone of the
corner. On it rests the whole fabric
of government by the people. The
evils that afflict the body polite to-day
are due, in some large measure, to vio-
lation of this fundamental law. Re-
garded with lightness and almost with
derision in these later days, to the men
fresh from the bloody contest for
freedom who made wisdom and
virtue " primary qualification for the
office OF representative, the words had
a deep significance. In letter and
spirit let the successors of the makers
of the constitution heed the mandate
of that instrument on Tuesday next.
So shall the state take a new lease of
life and prosperity.

Shocking Railroad Accident.

One of the worst railroad accidents of
recent years occurred on last week Tuesday
afternoon at Quincy, Mass, on the old
Colony road. The total number of deaths
was twenty-five. The train was an ex-
press from Woods Hol, consisting of an
engine, baggage car, smoker, Pullman
car and four ordinary coaches. 1t had
passed the Quincy station and was just be-
You'd the Presidents bridge, when the
crash came. The engine was thrown into
an embankment and on its side. The three
following cars lurched and passed by. The
first passenger coach seems to have struck
the engine sQuarely, jumped up ten or
twenty feet, and fallen into a mass of
wreckage. 1t was in this car that nearly
all the fatalities occurred. The steam from
the engine sutfocated and scalded many,
and the steam and smoke blinded all. The
suffering of some was intense. A special
train with surgeons from Boston arrived
within an hour, and the injured were well
cared for. The list of the dead is as follows:
Mrs. Abbie Abbott wife of Captain w. II.
Abbott of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Olcutt
Allen, seventy-eight, of Philadelphia; Miss
Bessie q. Allen, twenty-five, niece of Mrs.
Olcutt Allen; Miss Eva Ballard twenty.

daughters of Mrs. Oscar Fenley; Mrs. Mat
tie Francis, Chelsea Mass. Mrs. A. c.

twenty-three, fireman of train; Miss Mary
Il. Tilton thirty-four Lexington; e. G.
Bailey seventy, RoXhury Mass; Estella
Barry, twenty three, Worcester, Mass. The
cause of the accident was jack" which
had been left ON the track by workmen,
who had been using it in repairing the track.
An investigation by the railroad commits
sioners of the state was begun on Thursday.

Editor Of the Wdtchmdn;- myself a
Vermonter who will never cease to take a
deep interest in all that pertains to the
welfare and prosperity of her people, it is
refreshing to be able to obtain and read a
live progressive Vermont journal that so
ably takes the lead in upholdng and sus-
tanning the efforts of those chosen to act in
the interest of the state who, by honest eff
fort seem to be faithfully endeavoring to
repeople those green hills and villages with
intelligent honest, industrious immigrants.
That work has been well commenced and
should not be allowed to stop in its begin
ming. The remark that some one made
shat " Vermont drives away her live young
men and retains those of semi-vitality" APP
pears to have some truth in its application.
To be sure you have all the GROWERS left,
and they don't appear TO be good for much
but to sit around and throw cold water on
every important measure calculated to adj
vance the interests of the state; but you
also have large per cent of wide-awake,
earnest, energetic people who are keeping
abreast of the progressive ideas of the age.

and as the Russian serf works for less
money than has to be paid the Ameri-
can farm laborer, not only have prices
been hammered down, but Russian
wheat-supplemented by more than
100000 bushels from India in 1880
has been crowding the American prod
uct from the market of western
Europe. This is the unequal contest
to which free-trade attorneys urge the
American farmer. In pursuit of the
phantom of a foreign market in which
he can sell only at loss, they ask him
to cripple the resources of that home
market which now consumes nine
tenths of all farm products, and which
will, if adequately protected against I'M
derpaid foreign labor, in the near
future supply American consumers for
all that the American farmer has to sell.

IT is now certain that the so-called
" force " bill will GO over until the
winter session of congress. The bill is
not dead by anv means. 1t will very
likely be passed with nearly the unan-
lmous support of republicans. Still
prophecy is always unsafe. The I'M
expected happens quite as aften as the
expected. There is a disposition to
charge republican senators who op-
posed consideration of the bill at pres
ent with cowardice. There is no rea-
son for doing so. These senators
recognize the supreme Importance of
the tariff bill, and they do not wish to
have crude measure passed. In this
they will have the approval of conserv-
alive republicans. Edmunds, Aldrich
and Hale are not towards, and they are
good republicans.

THE strike is still on, and the men
seem more determined than ever. The
supreme council of the United Order
of Railway Employees cordially approves
the course of Mr.. Powderly. The lat
ter feels more certain than at any pre-
vious time that the fifty or sixty dis
charged men were discharged because
they were Knights of Labor. If he
and the other Knights really believe
this to be the case, the fight will be
desperate, because it will be for life.

THE concurrence in opinion of two
men so unlike in every respect as Sena-
tors Hoar of Massachusetts and Butler
of South Carolina is very significant.
They agree that there is as much absti-
nence from drinking liquor in the sem
ate as in any similar body in the world.
Mr.. Hoar says that the names of sena-
tors could be mentioned who have re-
formed through the influences about
them in the senate. If this is the case,
it was certainly time that some one ex-
planned it. Stories about drunken SEN
ators get abroad occasionally, and they
give impressions that are undoubtedly
based on too slight foundations. The
people will be glad to believe what the
two senators say.

THE Herald'S "pony express " was
certainly piece of enterprise, for by

BILE to get the Herald to the Bradford

This of course made the Free Press
green with envy. But how could the
Herald have the courage to send such
caricatures of pictures as those in
Thursdays issue? 1t ought to have
put the whole edition on horseback and
headed the animal toward the lake in
stead of the camp-ground. We notice
that the Herald was again the victim
of hard luck yesterday, when the

KossUTH, the Hungarian patriot, is
quoted as saying: "Plato is right; life
is no blessing, no gift, no duty, no
gain, but rather loss. When on the
brink of the grave man makes up his
account, the balance is always on the
wrong side. | have asked myself
whether life was worth living. One
only comfort remains to me. / have
persistently followed duty" Had the
patriot in persistently following duty
been successful in the particular aims
he had in view, he would doubtless
have talked in brighter strain. Few
who follow duty and succeed question
the worth of life. Success, even of the
most common kind, makes a wonder
full difference in the color of life. But
Kossuth is wrong. Had he borne the
misfortunes of his last days cheerfully
and hopefully, he would have given
the world better lesson than Hunga-
rian freedom could have been.

that the new steel cruiser " Baltimore :"
