Sea iirnen SIatc.

The past year has been one of unpre-
cedented prosperity among the slate
quarrymen OF Vermont, says the Troy
Press.
January LIST, 1890, there were $1,000
squares of slate on hand and the men
were working short time and it has been
an unusually dull winter. The business
loOded indeed discouraging. The trust
was again organized for its second year,
and during the month of March orders
were received for $4,000 squares. Ever
since the trade has been booming and
usually there has not been stood enough
on hand to fill orders. Every manufac-
turer pushed his output to the utmost
capacity.
January /, 1891, there were only 10000
squares of slate on the banks, and or
ders ahead for certain sizes to take the
production for several months.
The combination which is now called
the Vermont Slate company. was reorgan-
lied during December. 1t is stronger
than ever before. The officers elected
for the present year are 5. NJ. Rising,
president; ID. Aud, vice presidents: w.
H. Hughes, treasurer; 4. X. Norton, sec.
Rotary; j. Clark, manager.
The total slate for 1890 were 10000
squares, worth 100000 on the quarry
banks. This slate would cover II, 600, COZ
feet, or 32l0 miles laid IL inches wide. 1t
took at least 340O cars to haul it, and il
weighed 10000, 900 pounds.
EXOrhitant rates are not charged, as il
is the aim to do large business in compe
tition with the Pennsylvania black
slate, and in this respect the Vermont
quarrymen have been very successful.
The sea-green slate is coming into gen.
eral use. During the past year there
have been five structures covered witt
sea-green slate, the roofs of which ag
gregated over l,2OO,00O square feet, NJ
one of them being less than 100000
square feet.
The outlook was never better than fOl
the present year for both the producer
and the qnarryman. Quarries that have
been filed with rubbish for several year,
are being cleared out, and the product
will be larger than ever during the com
ing year.
Help is reported scarce, and no able
bodied man need be idle. The men wOrl
nine hours per day, and as soon as the
days get longer ten hours will be tn,

Gen. CIRCUITS bill appropriating SIS,
900 for fish hatchery in Vermont is a
proposition that will meet with general
approval in the Green Mountain State
In connection with the work already in
augurated by the State Fish and Game
League, national appropriation as con
templated would give start to the fish
and game interests Of Vermont that
would be felt all over the State. Gen.
GTout IS clearly right, too, in maintain

bers than ever before.
Its announced that arrangements
are being made in North Dakota to resist
the collection of all notes held by the
harvester companies, amounting 10 sew
eral million dollars. IL is claimed that
the contracts provided for free repairs
but the harvester combination has de
cided that all repairs must hereafter be
paid for in cash. Another ground of
contest will be thar the harvester trust
is contrary to the laws of the United
States and North Dakota as well. Farm
ers all over the country will watch with
interest to see what the harvest will be.

Secretary Proctor says lie "thinks the
management of the Indians should re-
main where it is. Fifty years ago there
were reasons enough in favor of placing
them under the control of the army, but
the time has gore by for that. The
question of administering their affairs is
not one of war but of peace, save for a
small rumpus enthusiastically. They
are very well cared for now, and he sees
no occasion fos such a change has been
suggested" Representative Picker of
South Dakota, member of the Indian
Affairs Committee says; II think it most
undesirable that the Indians should be
placed in charge of the army. What we
want is that the Indian should be civil
lied. taught to work and encouraged to
dwell upon land duly allotted to him and
in a house of his own. Under such con.
ditiOns it is proper tnat, like the white
man, he should be under civil and not
under military control. We, in om
State, have to live in company with the
Indians, and they will be readily alb
sorbed into the population as whole
when they are given lands in severalty
and thus placed on the same footing with
other people," Representative Darwin
5. Hall of Minnesota says: by all
means let us get the Indian out of poll.
tics. One great nifficulty in our dealing
with the Indians arises from the par
simony of Congress in their regard
Take an instance in point, Recently we
sent agents representing the Government
to formulate an agreement with the

kota. What our agents proposed was
accepted by those tribes, and they had a
right to believe that the agreement was
as good as carried out. The agreement
was ratified by the House Committee on
Indian Affairs. Then what happens ?
Why the House refuses to appropriate
the small amount of money necessary to
carry out the contract and the result is
that these unfortunate people, the most
civilized of all the Indians, are at pres.
ent actually starving. 1t is possible that
because we are dealing with Indians we
do not consider it necessary to behave
as gentlemen. Such seems TO be the
case; and yet that is rather humiliat
ing position for Uncle Sam to be placed

YEARLY SESSIONS.

That Vermont is at present in state
of political and legislative illness is APP
parent from the many prescriptions that
are being freely by many commiseratng
friends.
One of the chief remedies prescribed
for its Legislative dyspepsia is that the
old fashion of yearly sessions should be
revived; in other words, that as num-
Der of inexperienced men have made fools
of themselves in short time, they
might, by gracious permission of those
who were paying the bills, be allowed
to proceed in their course with the hope
that in the first years session
they might run the gauntlet OF
plumbers and be ready for one year OF

SO much more lusiness than Massachu

lures to transact it?
Vermont every two years turns into
the State capitol a large number of men
all of them new, and many OF then
totally ignorant of Legislative methods
especially in the case of such as the re

who can direct intelligently the cours
