Kenosha's manufacturing and finan-
cial interests.
Mr.. Geo. Yule, the Vice Presi-
dent and Superintendent Of the
Works, has been in partnership
with Mr.. Balm almost from the es-
tablishment of the business and
much of the success of the firm is
due to his far sightedness, absolute
acquaintance with the details of
every department in the works, and
his unfagging energy.
THE WHITAKER ENGINE AND sKEIN co.
The institution which bears the
above name is worthy monument
to the ability and energy of the man
who made it what it is. Mr.. r. B.
Whitaker, the president of the
company and owner of nine tenths
of the stock, came to Kenosha over
forty years ago a poor man, but en-
dowed with an abundance Of pluck
and energy, and by his indomitable
energy, mechanical genius and ad-
ministrative ability, built up the
business of the Whitaker Engine
and Skein Co., until it stands to-day
one of the largest and most prosper
Gus among Kenosha S vast manufac
turing interests. 1t was but re
Gently that Mr.. Whitaker obtained
control of all the stock in the com
pany, and now, he with his two sons,
R. S. Whitaker and T. B. Whitaker,
own the entire stock in the institu-
ton.
The products of the company con
sist largely of steel and cast wagon
skeins, power and hand tire benders,
shapers and core band formers.
The company do a general foundry
and machinist business, furnishing
very many of the new machines that
are set up daily in the rapidly de
veloping manufactures in Kenosha.
They employ about forty skilled me-
chanics and pride themselves on
their ability to turn out as fine and
accurate work as can be produced
anywhere. Their goods always
stand the test of time and their repu-
tation for first-clas work is second

THE Balm WAGON WORKS.
This immense business. of which
the people of Kenosha are Justly
proud, is the outgrowth of a very
small beginning. In 1852 Mr. Ed
ward Balm opened wagon and re-
pairing shop and began business
with about half dozen assistants.
But his work and his wagons
soon attracted attention from their
superior quality and his business
grew He employed more hel p and
by 1865 he was turning out twenty
wagons a week, or about l, 900 a
year The business grew with Ke-
nosha and with increased shipping
facilities the output in 1868 was
,. 500 wagons. From that time to
the present it has grown constantly
and rapidly until now the Balm
Wagon Company manufactures and
sells over y. 600 wagons a year, or
l 900 every month. The Company
has always maintained the high
standard of their wagons and as a
result they sell them for 10 per cent.
more than any other wagons bring.
They manufacture wagons of all
kinds: Farm wagons traffic wag-
ons, drays, mine wagons, etc, but
the superior quality of their product
is seen especially in work requiring
immense strength and endurance.
For this reason the demand for
their wagons in the mines in Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Montana, Califor-
MIA and other sections of the coun-
try where special strength is need
ed in wagons, has become immense
and has drawn their attention
largely to this class of work The
Company was incorporated in 1892
with a paid up capital of 800, 600.
The capital invested in the business
amounts to about $3.50. 600 Three
hundred men are given employment
in the factory The Company pays
it's employees so, 600 a month, or
$120, 600 annually. The works oc-
cupy an area Of about five acres Of
ground, which are entirely covered
with their shops, drying houses,
warehouses, etc. A cut of the fac
tory on this page gives some idea Of
the magnitude of the plant.
The Balm Wagons are familiar
sights in Colorado, California, Mon
tana and other western states. and
large numbers of them are exported
to Canada, Mexico, South America
and recently there has sprung up
demand fOF them in Australia and
they are being shipped there.
The business Of the Company is
constantly increasing and bids fair
to stand among the largest in this
line in the world The present Off
GERS of the Company are as follows:
President. Edward Balm; Vice pres
ident and superintendent, George
Yule; Secretary, Frederick S. New
ell; Treasurer: c. H. Balm and AS
sistant Superintendent, Geo. A.
Yule. The business of the Company
has been built up by these gentle
men and it stands to-day a worthy
monument to their ability and en-
ergy.
Mr.. Edward Balm. the President
of the Company, is one of the
wealthiest men in the State and is
we'll known as a liberal, public
spirited man. and his influence and

The Fight Not Over,

The battle cries of the winning
forces in the last state campaign
have been economy in state ex,
penditures" and independence OF
corporate control" The people OF
Vermont rallied under these calls
and won for themselves a marked
victory at the caucuses and at the
convention. 1t was evident that
the time was ripe for a new deal,
and the masses, who have hitherto
remained in innocuous desuetude,
kindly letting the professional
politicians act as their proxies ia
caucuses and elsewhere, were for
once alive TO the fact that if they
would do anything toward retrench.
ment, or toward emancipation from
ring or corporate influence, they
must be up and doing, and the
result revealed their strength. The
battle, however, is but half over
If Mr.. Page goes into the govern.
or's office handicapped by a legisla,
ture that is not in sympathy with
the main issues of the campaign he
can do little toward fulfilling the
expectations of his friends. On
the other hand, if men of sound
views on these crucial questions are
sent by the people as their repre-
sentatives to Montpelier, the hard.
fought battle will be carried on to
full and complete victory.
Voters of Vermont, see to it that
the right men represent you. The
executive can do little unless
supported by wise and conservative
Lawmakers, and if the same demand
for reform along the lines mentioned
is made prominent in the town
elections, in securing the right
kind of men, with the right kind of
views, the political millennium, no
far as Vermont is concerned, will
not be far away. Unless this is
attended to, we may as we'll hang
our harps by the rivers of Babylon
and sit us down and weep, even In
the flush of victory.-Ludzow 7ri-

Highway and Damages.
An Im psrtant Decision Hand cd Do W m
by the Vermont Supreme Court.

Judge Tyler of the Supreme
Court has just handed down and
filed with the clerk of the Rutland
County Court one of the most
important decisions of years reIa.
ting to the liability of towns for
damages on the highways, and puts
on record a principle of law sub
verting previous decisions, and
makes a disposition of all similar
cases on the dockets Of the courts,
and they are many. The case de-
clded is docketed as Charles 4.
Bates and wife VS.. village of Rut-
land, to recover damages for
injuries sustained by Mrs. Bates by
being thrown from a carriage near
the village stonecrusher, it being
set up as claim that the horse was
frightened by the machinery. The
case was heard at the September
term of court, 1889, Judge ii.
Henry Powers presiding. The jury
brought in verdict for plaintiff to
recover $4,000 damages and costs.
An appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court, and heard in January
last by four members of the court,
and the opinion assigned to Judge
Tyler, who now hands down the
opinion, and files the decision as
follows: ain this case the clerk
may enter judgment reversed, and
judgment for the defendant"
Thus the first case in Vermont in
which the point is made that the
village, or town, is not responsible
for negligence in work of repairing
highways, since in this it acts only
as the agent of the state. This de-
cision determines the question of
liability for damages, and disposes
of all like cases now entered on the
dockets.

South against each other in perma.
nent political, social and commercial
hostility. 1t would withdraw
millions of Eastern capital from
the South, and destroy the credit of
thousands of Southern merchants.
IL would, in every Southern COM
munity, create implacable enmity
between those who favored and
those who refused to join in the
boycott. A citizens loyalty to his
State and country would be tested
by a false standard, while in the
North every interest would be
arrsyed solidly against the South.
If practicable il would be indefen-
sihle, because it would involve the
injury of friends and foes alike. 1t
would be predicated upon the
assumption that the Force bill,
once enacted into law, would be
unrepealable; that the Just senti,
ment of all sections could not be
relied upon to relieve an oppressed
section from a measure found to be
tyrannical and dangerous to the
peace. believe to the contrary.
l believe the mere suggestion of a
boycott has been unfortunate,
because it will be seized upon by
demagogues as 4 confession of
enInity to the North. A boycott
is absolutely impracticable, because
1t involves such injustice to our
friends in the North that the
masses of right'thinking and
just,minded people of the South
can never be coerced into its
adoption by so, called leaders"

Weekly Payments.
10 tie Editor ofMe Herald.

Farmers and laborers will no
doubt be pleased to learn that there
will be an effort made to have law
passed by the next Legislature, that
mill owners and corporations shall
pay their help weekly. The matter
lies in the laborers' hands, and if
they put themselves to work and
vote fer man that will sustain the
Dill, there is no doubt but it will
become law at our next session.
1t IS generally understood that in
some parts of this State laborcrs are
hired at as low wages as possible,
are kept back on their pay, and
compelled to trade in corporation
store paying great deal more for
their supplies. Again, if farmer
comes into town with butter, eggs,

Vermont Never DisappOints.

The approximate estimates of the
population of all the towns in
Wndham county excepting one,
given by Supervisor Howe to the
Brattleboro Phoenix, show a popu-
Iation for that county of 25,64O as
against %, 1850 in 1880. A loss of
only ninteen in one of Commissioner
Valentines cred" counties is not a
bad showing. The Phoenix thinks
if the other counties have done as
well as Windham in holding their
total population, in spite of the
losses in the farming towns, the
State as whole will make a better
showing than has been feared might
be the case. Just so. Present
indications, however, show that
some of the other counties have
done better, so much so that there
IS reason to believe that Vermont
as a whole has actually gained in
population since 1880. When
Superintendent Porter made out
his estimate in advance of the
census, Vermont, if We remember
correctly, was the only State in the
Union marked with a dash, repre-
senting that no increase was
expected here. The result is not
remarkable. Vermont always does
better than is expected of her, and
generally more is expected OF her,
all things considered, than of anv
other State in the Union.
The unofficial census figures give
84,O76 as the population of the
'ixty'four largest places in the
otate-a gain of 1860 since 1880.
1t is estimated that the States
population will be 100000. Yer.
nont's population in 1850 was
1926. If the above estimate
holds good, it represents a gain of |
1000 in the State during the past
iecade. Not such large gain, but
better than some of Us expected
