DEATH OF Ex-GOV. SMITH.

In the death of ex-Gov. ]. Gregory

loss and the state is deprived of a
loyal and useful citizen. Last Feb
ruary he was taken i'll with severe
cold and never regained his health.
being obliged to give up business
some three months ago. Ex-Gov.
Smith was born at st. Adams July
%, 1918, and was the son of Hon.
John Smith. a prominent figure in
Vermont railroad and political cir
cles. Gregory studied law and was
admitted to the bar in 1871. In
1S49 he began his railroad career as
counsel for the Vermont Central rail
road and the Vermont and Canada
railroad From 1853 to 1873 he
was one of the receivers of the YER
mont Central railroad; from 1866 to
1872 he was president of the North
ern Pacific railroad, being one of the
incorpora tors, and since 1873 he had
been president of the Central Yer
mont railroad. He was speaker of
the Vermont house in 1861 and go,
and was chairman of the state dele
cations to the national republican
conventions in 1872, 1880 and 1884.
He presided over several state con-
ventions, and had spoken effectively
on the stump in presidential cam
paigns. He was prominently inter
ested in several local business enter
prises, and was president of the Well
den National bank, the Peoples
Trust company and the Franklin
County Crea merry association.
Ex-Gov. Smith was a man Of
marked executive a bility and achieved
notable political and business sue
cesses. As governor of the state dur
ing the dark days of the rebellion he
was staunch and true to the best in
terests of the nation and most loyal
and friendly to the Vermonters who
rallied at the call of the president.

Gov. Smiths indefatigable efforts

ELECTION ECHOES.

The later and more complete re-
turns from the political contest of
! last week confirm what we limited at
| in our last issue-that there was
nothing in the result to discourage
| the republicans. While the democra is
appear to be profoundly thankful
for New York and Massachusetts,
there is nothing very stimulating for
them in their victory, in the latter
state especially. 1t was matter of
personal popularity for Gov. Russell;
the election of the republican ticket
aside from the governor and the big
increase in the republican makeup of
the legislature prove this, and the
party which elected the governor
must not build thereon any expecta-
tions for 1892. In Ohio, Major
Mckinley reports with more than
twenty thousand plurality, and the
legislature is republican by nearly
fifty on joint ballot. This result
does not please the free traders, but
it is gloriously satisfactory to the
great multitudes of American people
who believe that the Majors pro-
lection ideas look directly towards
the building up of American in
dustries. The democrats get the
governor in Iowa, but the house is
republican by a good figure. New
York gives the democratic Flower a
plurality of forty-fve thousand.
which, considering the reduced
majority for him in the city, would
indica tie that certain voters outside,
who did not appreciate Platt's
bossism, knitted his candidate with
free hand Fassett's defeat is to be
regretted, for he is clean man and
would have made an excellent gov
ernor. The Tammany tiger will pro-
coed to re-fatten on the feast spread
before it in the Empire state, and will
no doubt continue to indulge in that
manner till the taxpayers Of city and
state wake up to the fact that their
best interests demand q different
condition of things.
There was nothing gloomy about
the result, as a whole, and the
victory in Ohio may be looked upon
as decidedly significant.

and elsewhere throughout the coun-
try, even among those who were his
political or business opponents. His
pala tial residence in st. Adams has
been the scene of many social gather
ings, at which Governor and Mrs.
Smith have dispensed a courteous
hospitality. Ex-Gov. Smith leaves
five children, namely: George g., in

and general manager of the Central
Vermont railroad; Annie B., who

The funeral of the distinguished
citizen occurred at the COngrega

day afternoon, and was one of the
most solemn and impressive gather
ings of the kind ever held in the state.
1t is estimated that 5000 people were
in and about the church during the
cerem onies. and that there were 100
in the procession. Private and pub
lie buildings and business places were
deliberately draped, and hundreds of
railroad officials and prominent men
from all over the country assembled
to pay the last tribute of respect to

TIT STATE COMMITTEE AND THE
PAPERS,.

Just how the recent proposition of
the republican state committee was
received by the press can be seen by
the following bits of opinion plainly
expressed:
The Windsor Journal says: "The
proposition is in itself an insult to
the state press, but virtually be-
comes blackmail when the committee
say that unless their terms are ac-
coded to they will prevent any club
bling rates to papers refusing to sub
nit to the extortion."
The Burlington Clipper quotes
member of the state committee as
expressing surprise that the circular
was sent out, and hopes the COM
mittee as a whole will be able ito
fully clear themselves Of the response
bility of sending out such a letter.
The Bellows Falls Times remarks:
"While duly grateful for the interest
shown in our business, we are dis
posed to manage it in our own way
for while longer, and feel it our
duty to stand in with the boys who
kick
The Mortified News says: I'VE
think the brethren of the quill have a
right to kick. There is no reason
why Vermont publisher should

will take the city weeklies and at the
same time charge full price to those
who don't"
The Lyndonville Journal: THE
stupidity of this act is only excelled
by the stupidity of those who submit
to it,
The Middlebury Register: THE
committee should be in bigger bust
ness than this attempt to impover
ish and belittle the newspapers that
give them more help than all the city
papers in the universe can render"
The Phoenix SAYS: I'VE commits
crate any republican paper that
allows its business to be tempered
with in this way from any outside
source"
A member of the state committee,
who was not present when the club
bling vote was taken, writes: Il GER
tainly do not believe in clubbing state
papers in any hostile sense. | want
all papers to receive fair play"

1t has been limited several times
during the past season that this was
emphatically a farmers year, and
that such crops as have been gath
cred this year have seldom been
gathered before. The report of Sec
retarv Rusk confirms this statement,
and shows that the value of all the
crops raised in this country the past
season exceeds the value of last years
crops by about 100000. The
value of three months exports of
cereals is set at $7O,OOO,OOO. This
is a magnificent showing, and should
put great deal of heart into the

foreigners had not the greatest security of
property. 1 have made many inquiries
among miners, both Me1icans and foreigners,
and I find that this is mistake. The Mex
lean mining laws are among the best in the
world They are vigorously enforced and
there is no country where the miners of any
nationality has better chance than here.
The laws permit any man to claim mine,
but in order to hold his title be must work
at least four men in for 26 consecutive
weeks every year. If he fails to do this,
his mine, however good, can be denounced
as it is called by any third party and the
Government will recognize that party's
right to it if he takes the mine and fulfills
the above conditions
Watching for Forfeitures.
, Good mines are carefully watched here
and failure to work them results in their
loss. As long as the law is complied with,
the miner, whether Mexican or foreigner,
is protected. A record has to be kept at all
mines in Spanish of the work done, and the
only cases in which the government grants
fee simple title to mines is where the
company gets q concession of zone by
agreeing to keep "a miners constantly en-
ployed, and within five years to build re-
duction works at an expense of at least q
quarter of million dollars These mining
zones &T0 NtI VALUABLE bOIll-Jllueb anu I0ey
are not granted without investigation. They
comprise at times from 10 to 20 square
miles of land, and the company having the
right to one of them can work 80 claims
upon it and have the right to denounce and
work such other claims in the zone whose
owners do not fulfill the law. They do not,
as understand, have any right except to
the mineral products of the land.
Until now the United States has done a
great part of the smelling of Mexican ores.
The provisions of the new tariff in regard to
lead is driving them to England and Ger
many, and several large smelters are being
erected in Mexico. The Mckinley bill
fixed the tariff on lead so that it makes the
lead in a ton of silver ore cost so much that
it is practically prohibitory. An American
is building one of these new smelters at San
Louis Potosi. 1t will soon be completed
and will be, it is said, the biggest smelter

CHAPTER III.
PROSPECT COTTAGE.

Thirty years ago there were not more
third Of California, a section of the State
which to-day contains 5000. AT that
date but very small portion of the vast
area Of this extreme Western State was
under cultivation; in fact, most of it seemed
only fit for cattle raising. Who could have
imagined that such q brilliant destiny
awaited this faraway region, whose only
communication with the world was by the
wagon trains of overland routes and the
cipal seaports? And yet, as far back as
1869, there was little nucleus Of town,
few miles back from the coast north of the
bay of San Diego. Hence the city of that
name may justly claim the honor Of being
the Oldest settlement on Californian soil
The bay of San Diego is a superb one, II
miles long by two wide, and it not only
affords necessary anchorage for merchant
men, but sufficient accommodation for q
squadron, the port ranking as naval sta
tion. Oval in form and having narrow
entrance opening to the west between Is
land Point and Lowna or Coronado Point,
the harbor is shut in on all sides. The off
coast gales don't reach it, and heavy seas
scarcely ripple its surface. There's no
trouble in getting out or in, there being a
minimum depth of 70 feet.
In 1885 San Diego had population Of
15, 900; to-day it has $4,000. Its first rail-
road dates from 1881. Now the Atlantic
and Pacific, the Southern Californian and
the Southern Pacific roads make it part and
parcel Of the great Continental Railway
