THE statement having boon made that
Wyoming was the first State to make an
appropriation for an exhibit at the
Columbian exposition in Chicago, the
Boston Herald comes to the defence Of the
Green Mountain State with the assertion
that Vermont leads the list. There is little
consolation in this, however for Vermont
nggardly $4,000 appropriation makes "a
slim showing when compared with the $50,
600 appropriated by the little State of Wy

Whio there is n wide divergence Of
opinion regarding the governments policy
in dealing with the Indian question, pretty
nearly all are agreed that Gen. Miles is de
serving of great praise for his courage and
wisdom in hi dealings with the Sioux. Grave
mistakes, it seems to us, have been made,
and great injustice has been done the In
dians in the past, but Cen Niles has from
the first proved himself a skilful and saga
cious general, and at the same time a man

Tho following communication, received
from Internal Revenue Commissioner
Mason, who has heretofore ruled that the
bounty feature of the new tariff law would
apply to the maple sugar crop Of 1891, is
self explanatory. In a word the commits
sioner's decision has been overruled by the
attorney general, and the statement below
may be regarded an official announce
ment that the revenue Office will be govern
ed 10y the attorney generals decision. The
particular attention of maple sugar pro
ducers is called to the paragraph in the let
Ter fixing the time when they should apply
for their licenses. Such notices must be
filed and bonds executed between April
and July l of the present year.

is believed that the last-named mate
rial has come from space, and that
the other substances have been car

In 1868, according to recent pa
per by NJ. G. j. Symons TO the

Christopher Wren designed not only
the first rain guage but also the first
recording gauge, although the in

ITO. The earliest rainfall records
were made at the following places:

Protect Your Health.

Cold and moisture combined have tor
porising effect upon the bodily organs, and
the digestive and secretive processes are apt
to be more tardily performed in the winter
than in the fall. The same is true, also, of
the excretory functions. The bowels are
often sluggish, and the pores of the skin
throw off but little waste matter at this sea-
son. The system, therefore, requires OPEN
ing up a little, and also purifying and regu-
lating, and the safest, surest and most thor
ough tonic and Alternative that can be used
for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Persons who wish to escape the
rheumatic twinges, the dyspeptic agonies,
the painful disturbances of the bowels, the
bilious attacks, and the nervous visitations,
so common at this time of the year, will do
well to reinforce their systems with this re-
nowned vesetable stomachic and inFigorant.
1t improves the appetite, strengthens the
stomach, cheers the spirits and renovates the
whole physique.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA POSITION.

From the present indications it
looks as if South Carolina would
not get her share Of the Federal ap-
preparation for State agricultural
and mechanical colleges until Con
gress meets, unless either Gov. Till
man or Secretary Noble crawfshes
from the position thay have each
taken.
The Legislature of South Caro-
lima, at its recent session, passed a
bill dividing this fund equally be-
tween the college for whites and the
one for colored youths, which are in
that state. When Governor Tillman
applied for the money to Secretary
Noble he was informed by the secre-
tary that the money would not be
Forthcoming unless it was divided
upon the basis of the proportion of
the two races in the school popula-
ton of that State Governor Till
man declined to promise that it
would be done and refused to make
any pledge that it would be divided
in a manner different from that
authorized by the act of the Legis-
lature.
The action of Secretary Noble
says the New Orleans New Delta,
brings up a very grave question, aDd
one that affects the whole Southern
country. In appropriating the money
Congress allots it by States and
does not pretend to divide each
States portion between the two
races. In attempting to do this
Secretary Noble is paving the way
for Federal interference in and
supervision over the public schools
of the different States. His action
in this matter is but an entering
wedge for line of conduct which
could dictate to what particular
school or schools the money should
go, That once being established it
would be an easy matter to go still
further and say that the money ap-
portioned to each State should go
to but one particular school or col
Iege of it's class in that State, and
that both races should have free
and common access to its benefits.
The transition from one stage to the
other is easy and if the demands of
the Federal officials were complied
with, if any of them chose to carry
it that far, it would result in a
partial control of our public educa-
tional institutions by the officials of
the Federal government.

ON THE ROAD TO BANKRUPrcY.

France is on the road to bank
ruptcy. 1t is often said that France
is one of the richest countries of
Europe, and while this is true the
financial policy of the government
has been such that she will have to
repudiate their debts as they did
during the first revolution and start
over again unless there is retrench
ment. The waste of that govern
ment is something awful, their ex-
travagance is frightful, says Senator
st. Hilaire, and the charge is sub
stantiated by the facts, which show
that France is rushing toward
national bankruptcy.
Its public debt has reached the
gigantic figure of. 31,646, ZOO, 900
francs, or $6,236,OO0,0OO, without
including the recent subscription,
and the annual interest has mounted
up to 1,318, 100000 francs, or $780,
100000. But great as the debt is it
is still growing larger far more
than the growth of the coun-
try i'll wealth, and the budgets are
doctored to make a plausible ap-
pearance.
