WQSHInQCOU, aug. 70.
The republican senators, governed
by that good, hard horse sense, which
has helped the party over many more
serious obstacles in the past, have
compromised the differences of opin-
ion that existed between them and
which for several days furnished
pegs for the democrats to hang hopes
of permanent split in the party
upon. An order of business has been
agreed upon that will receive the vote
of every republican senator. 1t pro-
vides for the early passage of the
tariff bill, the anti-lottery bill and as
many bills affecting public buildings
and lands as possible; it also pro-
vides that the federal election bill
shall be the first business of the next
session of congress.
This action is highly gratifying to
the republicans, fou even the staunch-
est advocates of the federal election
bill admit that it would not be possi-
BILE to pass that measure in time to
have it go into effect at the coming
congressional elections so nothing
could possibly be gained by prolong
ing the present session in order to
pass it, while there is a very urgent
necessity felt in all branches of busi-
ness throughout the country, to have

The correspondence between this
government and France regarding
the duty imposed by the latter on
American pork reveals the fact that
this duty is levied on economic rat her
than sanitary grounds. The French
are not willing to compete with us in
raising pork. No fault could be found
with them for taking that position if
they made the rule of exclusion gen
eral. As it is, however, they seek
only to prohibit the Importation of
American pork. The government at
Washington is trying to make them
see that this is not fair play. Retail
alton by excluding French wines is
talked of.

John Ericsson.

Loyal Americans hold John Erics-
son in grateful memory chiefly be-
cause he planned and built the Moni-
tor in the nick of time to save North
ern seaboard cities from attack by the
Confederate Merrimac. The produc-
ton of that little nondescript vessel
and it's successful though brief career
will ever be written about in history
in vein of romance. From the
time it was begun until it was afoat
was only a hundred days. 1t was
sent to Southern waters for expert
ment rather than IN the expectation
that it would be main dependence
of the northern navy. On it's way it
met this formidable Confederate boat
attacked her and disabled her. The
Monitor was the invention of John
Ericsson, and she was the first of her
kind.
The work of this engineer all thro'
his life was original. He was first in
more fields of mechanical invention
and discovery than any other invent
or, probably, that can be named. He
made flame engine which was new
in design and principle. He was first
in the field with artificial draft for
steam boilers, principle in the ap-
plicaCion of heat to generating power
that is still in use as an essential
feature of locomotive high pressure
boilers. From artificial draft he
went to the steam fire engine, and
from that to the caloric engine, which
is associated the world over with his
name. But it will hardly be dIsput-
ed that the most useful invention this
great man leaves to the world is the
screw as means Of propelling ves-
sells. He constructed the first one
that was ever used, and the fact that
he had to come to America to find
encouragement sufficient to enable
him to perfect and demonstrate the
value of this contrivance, was link
in the chain of events produced for
us the spiteful little Monitor in the
hour of our greatest need.
John Ericsson was born in Verne
land, Sweden, in 1903. He was ed
ucated as a civil engineer, but if he
had been apprenticed as an apothe-
cary he would have built steam en-
gines and war ships in mature life.
His mind was itself constructed for
applying occult forces in nature to
material contrivances in such way
as to be of use to mankind. He first
came to America in 1889, although
his fame had preceded him by six
years, for in 1888 he received from
Mechanics Institute a prize medal
for his caloric engine invention. To-
day his remains will be. placed on
board of one of the latest launched
of the new American naval fleet of
iron vessels, which have the achieve
ments of the Ericsson Monitor for
their emulation, if not for their mod
ell in outline and construction. 1t is
fitting that the great Swede should
rest,at last in his native country, and
that an American warship should bear
his coffin thither.-Ihe Press.

The Horse Breeders fair at Rutland
was really a great affair. Eight hum
dred horses went around the track in
the exhibition procession, and horse
men declare that it really was the
best horse show ever seen in this
country.
Among the best exhibits made
were the hackney coach horses owned
by DR.. W. S. Webb of Shelburne
Farms, which was the finest string of
English equines ever shown in New
England the famous Morgan stall
lious owned by Ballard Bros. of
Georgia; the horses from the Deer
field Stock Farm of Brattleboro; the
celebrated family of Ben Franklin,
Aristos and stock, Victor Wilkes and
stock, Bay Wilkes and stock and the
fine blooded Morgans owned by II. T..
Cults of Orwell, Joseph Battell of
Middlebury and other breeders of
Morgan stock. Many fast trotters
made exhibition miles, including Gill
J. Highland, Gray, Helen NJ, Aris-
tos and Bonuf. The show of horses
entered for premiums was a very at
tractive one.

The Vermont railroad commissioners
have made their report in relation to the
fatal accident to James Fuller on the
Canadian Pacific railroad at Newport
last April. While he was repairing a
car in the yard freight car backed against
it so that Fuller had one leg cut off, and
sustained other injuries, from which he
died about midnight the same night
The board finds that the primary cause
of this accident was the absence of a
proper danger signal or watchman to
warn trainmen at work i'm the vicinity
that the car which Mr.. Fuller was repair
ing should not be moved while undergo
ing repairs and that the railway company
is at fault for not having made aud en-
forced a rule TO such end. Since this

The State Fair.

Col. Geo. w. Hooker, president
of the state Agricultural Society,
makes this appeal to the citizens of
Vermont:
Will you kindly aid by impressing
upon the people of Vermont the in
terest they should take in the coming
Exhibition of the Vermont State Ag-
ricultural Society and Connecticut
River Valley Association, to be held
at White River Junction, September
9th, 10th, 11th and 18th. Thirty five
thousand dollars have been expend-
ed in the purchase and fitting up of
the grounds. If our people would
take the same interest in Vermont as
they do in Southern and Western en-
terprises, no water power but what
would turn a wheel, all farms would
be cultivated, granite, marble, slate
and copper would be taken from her
hills, and money invested at home
would be certain of the principal.
Fairs are for, and conduce the de-
velopment of the community in which
they are held. They bring in friend
ly competition, stock, farm products,
and the production of the mill. The
people compare notes and profit by
an interchange of ideas. Vermont
has only one rival in the raising of
horses-Kentucky. Her cattle and
sheep are the best, butter and cheese
commanding the highest prices, mar
ket gardening, more profitable than
any other gardening, on the increase,
placing her as the state to emigrate
to, not from. Let those who can en-
ulate the example of Frederick Bill
ings of Woodstock, who has author
lied George Atkin, manager, to eX-
hibit Billings Farm stock, Jersey cat
tie, Southdown sheep and Berkshire
swine for exhibition only, not COM
peting for premiums in any class.
Let every person make an individual
effort to exhibit something, those who
have nothing to exhibit present them
selves at the gate and ask for an adj
mission ticket, thereby giving encour-
agement to the officers of the exhi-
bition, who, except the secretary,
receive nothing for their time and ex-
pense and ask for success only.

A Statement of the General Result
of the Census In Vermont.

An erroneous impression of the re-
suit in this state of the census of
1890, not authorized, was drawn from
the publication of the population of
the larger towns, in many Of which
greater gains had been made than in
any previous census decade. 1t was
announced in some Of the city papers
that Vermont had made a substan-
tial increase in population. The of
fetal count will be likely to show the
same population in round thousands
as in 1880.
The gain in Burlington, Rutland,
Barre, Brattleboro, and in the large
towns and villages generally. is Offset
by the loss in the agricultural dis
tricts. La no other decade of the
censes has the loss in the farming
towns been so great. About SO towns
will show a gain of population and
about 1S4 towns loss. OF the gain
ing towns Addison has three, Ben
nington county two, Caledonia coun-
ty five, Chittenden county five, Essex
county eight, Franklin county five
Grand Isle county two, Orange coun-
ty two, Lamoille county three, Or,
leans county five, Rutland county
seven, Washington county six, Wind
ham county three, Windsor county
two. Six counties gain and eight
counties lose the loss in one, how
ever, Orleans, is so small that it may
possibly disappear in the official
count. The gain is nearly all in foul
counties-W ashington, Rutland, Chit
tenden and Essex-W Washington coun-
ty making the largest gain, and the
others in the order of the names. The
counties suffering the heaviest losses
are Orange and Windsor on the east
side of the mountains, and Addison
and Bennington on the west side
Orange and Windsor counties each
lose from 5000 to 1000. The losses
are almost entirely in the agriculture,
districts, there being hardly any large
villages that do not show at least 8
small gain.

American warship builders appear
to have acquired such skill in the
construction of vessels, so far as
speed is concerned, that it is more
than probable the government will
enlarge its requirements. Thus far
every war vessel of recent construc-
tion has complied with the contract,
and nearly all of them have taken
premiums for their builders. The
Cramps have on several occasions
distinguished themselves in this re-
spect, and now comes word from
San Francisco, that during a recent
preliminary trial of the new cruiser
San Francisco, built on the Pacific.
she bids fair to rival the PHILADELPHIA
in TapIdity of movement through the
water. Our sailing ships are always
the fastest in the world, especially
the famous "clippers," and there is
hardly a doubt that if our ship build
ers were to try their hand on vessels
the size of the City of Paris and the
Teutonic and others they would
build craft that would break the rec.
ord of these great racers.

Mr.. Powderly and the knights of
Labor tried their best to have the
New York Central railroad strike ta
ken up and extended over the country
but without success. A three days
session of the supreme council of the
Federation of Railway Employees was
held at Terre Haute in the effort to
bring this about, but the only outcome
was formal approval of Powderly's
course and an assurance of "moral
support" of the strikers. Put in plain
English this meant that railroad en-
ployes who have no grievance don't
care to bite off their own noses to
spite the New York Central railroa d
company.

According to some critics the new army
regulation permitting enlisted men who are
thoroughly disguised with the service to buy
their discharge for nominal sum is not a
great success. The law has been In opera
tion only about eight weeks. during which
time 20 privates have bought their freedom.
Says the Springfield Union: snow that the
men can get away without deserving, they
prefer to remain The case is something
like that Of the creditor who wanted his
money Immediately il the debtor couldn t
pay 1t, but If he could he didn't care for it,"
IL the object Of the law is to depopulate the
army 1t has not succeeded well.
Such. however. is not It's object 1t
aims at presenting an honorable
and legal method of desertion. To desert In
the old way man sneaked off in the night
leaving no trace behind, and giving room for
doubt as to whether he had gone of his
own yolition. or had been kidnapped or
killed. This lent certain mystery to the
AFFAIR and made the absentee more or less of
hero in the eyes of his remaining com
rades. The new law compels a man who
would sever his connection with a martial
life to write himself down a failure, to pre-
sent petition asking for discharge, to pay
money for IT. after having his accounts all
settled regularly, and to be borne on the
rolls forever as man who was beaten by
circumstances. ANY man would do good
deal OF thinking before he would be willing
to do all these things, and many minor
grievances would be borne with, rather than
make confession to the effect that he was
incapable of holding up his end of the
struggle for existence. Considered in this
light. the new rule seems to meet the exigen-
cy for which 1t was designed.
