Interview With Congressman
POVaTS

A Rutland Herald reporter inter
viewed Judge Powers at Rutland last
Thursday evening on his way home
from the Republican League Conven-
ton and reports the following con
versatiOn:-
at was an enthusiastic cOnven-
ton" said Congressman Powers,
land there was nothing to mar it
except the unfortunate remarks of
Foraker, and he afterwards discaim-
ed any intention of disparaging Pres
ident Harrison.
"The Cincinnati papers published
what purported to be a canvass of
the delegates on our preference for
president, but it was inaccurate.
Many delegates said that they had
not been interviewed and | suppose
some reporter manufactured the can
VaSs.
every knows that Mr. Blaine
has a warm corner in the hearts of
the American people in all parts of
/ this country But when anybody
says that there was any boom for
Mr.. Blaine in Cincinnati in the sense
that the convention or any consider
able part of it tried to promote his
nomination is untrue. The prevail
ing sentiment among all was that it
was no time to talk candidates.
There was Just as much enthusiasm
for Harrison.
"To show you that whatever en-
thusiasm was manifested for anybody
was not with reference to presidential
candidates, there was more noise
made over Foraker than over any
body else.
president Harrison was popular
in the convention. The southern del
egates were, as a general thing, warm
in praise of the administration, and
they were not Office-holders.
1.-The league is an organization of
willing workers. 1t does not endeav-
or to forestall the action OF the con-
vention in favor of one candidate or
another, but it stands willing to work
for any candidate that is nominated.
1t is made up quite largely of young
men, who are enthusiastic workers in
the ranks.
1T was said at the convention-I
don't know whether there was any
truth in it or not-that Illinois, Indi-
ana, Ohio and Pennsylvania had
formed combination TO capture the
officers of the convention. That was
the story that was floating around.
1t was said that Indiana wanted the
next place of meeting, Illinois had a
candidate for president of the league,
Pennsylvania wanted either the sec
retury or treasures and Ohio wanted
the other If there was any such
combination made it was pretty
effectually routed.
THE plan Of the league is to have
state, county and town organizations
to have local clubs and to get out the
vote. In doubtful states the league
can exert telling influence. In YER
mont there is no just call for special
activity"

The National Fish Hatchery.

1t is perhaps well known by our
readers that at the last session of
the National Congress an appropri-
alton of $4,000 was made for the
purpose of establishing a hatchery
in Vermont. Vermont also made
an appropriation of $24O0 for like
purpose last fall. Governor Page
has been in correspondence with Col.
Marshall Mcdonald, the q. S. Fish
Commissioner at Washington, with
view to securing for the State the
best possible advantages which can
be derived from the State and
National appropriations Col. Nc
Donald is in doubt as to whether it
would be desirable or practicable to
combine the State appropriation
with the National appropriation,
but assures the Governor that he
will advise with representative men
of Vermont before coming to con-
clusion about the matter.
Thus far only two directors of the
State hatchery have been appointed
by the Governor, viz: G.. C. Warren.
of Waterbury, and Dr. H. FL. Swift
of Pittsford 1t has seemed best
that the third director be located
near the hatchery, and until that
location has been decided upon it is
probable that the third Director will
not be appointed, provided, of
course, that directors Warren and
Swift agree as to the location.
1t is not altogether clear whether
the hatchery should be connected
with, or in the vicinity of, the Ma
tional hatchery or in some other
section of the State. In deciding
this matter our State Commission
ers will doubtless counsel with u. S.
Commissioner Mcdonald when he
comes to Vermont to make his ex- i
which will probably be !
early in July.
Col. Mcdonald is spoken of very ,
highly as a man of excellent sense q
and sound Judgment in all matters D

ceive substantial benefits from the
impetus which will be given to the
propagation of fish by these two
appropriations.
We copy below recent letter from
Commissioner Mcdonald to Gov
ernor Page which may be of interest
to those who take an interest in fish
culture in Vermont:
WASHINGTON, D. G.. April Is, 1891.
Hon. CARROLL S. PAGE,
Governor of Vermont.
Hyde Park, VT.
Dear Sir The appropriation made for
the trout hatchery i'll Vermont, does not be-
come available until the first of the ensuing
fiscal year, and in the press of other matters
requiring immediate attention, | have de-
ferred consideration of our plans with refer
ence to that work until it was necessary to
take it up. Shortly after July LIST, it is my
intention to visit Vermont and make a care
full examination of such localities as are sug-
gested or are known to me to be available
for such a station as is contemplated. Hav-
ing determined the location. which will only
be done after most careful examina ton, the
next step will be the vesting of the title in the
United States by purchase, gift, or transfer
as the case may be. These preliminaries
having been settled, our Engineer would
make survey of the ground, and prepare
the plans for the development of the station,
so as to be ready next winter on the open
ing of Congress to submit in detail plans,
specifications and estimates. Whether it
viii be desirable or practicable to combine
the State appropriation with the Govern
ment appropriation is a matter l am not
prepared to express an opinion about until
| have given it more mature consideration.
| shall only act in the m after after advising
with yourself and representative men from
the State, and will come to no decision to
location or plans until after full and free con-
ference and discussion. l desire to proceed
slowly, cautiously and conservatively in the
matter, and to lay the foundation secure for
such development of our work in your State
as will be, hope, of great eventual value to
it. Very truly yours,
NJ. MCDONALD,
Commissioner.

The election of General Garrison at
the head of the Republican National
League means organization through
out the country, which in turn means
Republican success in 1892. Repub-
lican principles are the kind that will
bear the light, and the more they are
discussed and understood, the sooner
they will be accepted. Democratic
prevarication of the truth brought
Republican defeat last fall, but it
can't do it again. The people are
wiser now.

The New York Sun, which knows
good speeches when it hears or reads
them, says of President Harrison's
deliverances on his travels: "But
what speeches they are, thus far 1t
is a pleasure to read them. Nothing
short of the extreme of partisan I'M
fairness can find anything in them to
ridicule or dispise. Whether prepared
carefully in advance, or extemporane-
ously excogitated, his occasional re-
marks along the route have been
nearly faultless.

We are always in favor of patron
izing home institutions, especially
when they are just as good as those
out of the State Vermont has MANY
institutions of learning of which she
is justly proud. Nearly all of them
have been built up by hard labor,
and they sustain a well-earned repu-
tation. Among them we note the
Burlington Business College, ofwhich
&. G. Evans is Principal. This insti-
tuition offers all the advantages of
like concerns in the larger cities,
and at much lower figure. Since
the beginning of the term, September
last, 10S students have been en-
rolled, and we are informed that q
of these are now filing re-
sponsible business positions. Young
men and ladies of moderate means
can here fit themselves for business
life very reasonably. 1t gives us
pleasure to commend this college to
those who are anxious to obtain a
business education.

tons of it and many of my salt report that

In article in the Family Herald and Weekly Star,
whose agricultural department ranks very high authority

endorsement is given in the issue of JAM H. 1891:

at the rate OF 100 pounds per grass and
grain and 600 pounds root crops
Oats and wheat preserved from by sa the straw
is made Stiff and the grain clear and bright There are
very few instances in which salt is not found useful
The American Cultivator takes other grounds with ref

A Captain Who Fought In Chill, but He
Doesn't Know on Which Side.
Captain Kenneth Pritchard. Of the
British steamship Tangier, had quite
a thrilling war experience while at
Buenos Ayres. The steamer had been
chartered to load cargo at Liverpool
for Buenos Ayres, and arrived at that
port shortly after the revolution had
ceased. All large vessels, such as the
Tangier, were compelled to remain out
in the Buenos Ayres Roads, which is
about fourteen miles from the port
The masters ~quartered themselves at
the different hotels, and most of their
business was done ashore until the YES
sells were loaded or discharged. as the
cas happened to be.
On May ! some little trouble again
arose between the rebels and the gov
and another revolution was
threatened The troops began to fire
AT all rebels. and within a short while
firing was general on all sides Captain
Pritchard was anxious 70 see what was
going on throughout the town, and
meandered slowly in the direction Of
the arsenal Before he had gotten far,
however. he vas captured by two sol
diers and led, at the point Of the bayO-
net, 20 the arsenal.
He was given a Winchester rifle. and,
by command Of the officers in char-e.
was compelled to join the warlike
crowd Without much complaint, but
a great deal Of ervou dissatisfaction,
he began popping away at every Oh
ject in the shape of a man who passed
within range of the arsenal Here he
was kept at work with his rifle for
three hours. when he was relieved and
a picket put on guard.
An opportunity presented itself, and
Captain Pritchard slipped around the
wall and escaped from his captors. He
had gotten but a few yards from the
place when he heard some grape shot
whiz by him. and upon looking around
he saw two guns being used at the
head of the street to keep il clear.
Captain Pritchard, without much cere-
mony, dropped himself into a three
foot gutter. and there remained with
the water streaming ove him for
about an hour, when the firing ceased
After that evening the captain did not
trust himself far from the hotel until
his steamer sailed
He said he fought hard, but he has
not learned whether he was a govern
ment soldier OF a rebel, and he wasn't
curious enough to ask. 80 Baltimore
