Aside from being an important step
toward their civilization, self-support

it is the cheapest and best insurance

considerable interest, and the public

Among many other things, mention
is made of the improvements which

by Secretary Proctor, July 1, 1889,
there were 4O,654 unadjusted and
unanswered cases on hand, all of
which, together with current bust
ness, was disposed of before June
80, 1890. During the past fiscal
year the division received 459 ,497

The record made by Secretary
Proctor is pre-eminent in every
respect. He has introduced many
new methods into his department,
and whenever he could do so adj
vantageously has adopted new
plans, every one of which has proven
the wisdom of his appointment.
Others may follow in his tracks, but
it is safe to presume that his equal in
skill and originality will not soon or
again be found. There has not been
the least friction or noise in his de-
partment, and every thing has gone
along as quietly as business in well
ordered private institution. In
closing his report Mr.. Proctor, as he
is about to retire from his position,
pays his subordinates a handsome
compliment for the nearest and loyal
co-opera ton which he has at all
times received at their hands. This
is the first time that Vermont has
been honored with a position in the

The liberalization organization
for the infantry is again recommend
ed. The secretary regards the single
battalion organization as defective
and unfit for actual service. under
present conditions. The develop
ment of range, rapidity and accuracy
of fire of modern arms is pointed out
as having been so great that small
er and more flexible battalion is es-
sential, for this development makes
celebrity in handling troops on the
field a prime necessity.
In March last a general order was
issued authorizing the enlistment of
one company of Indians for each of
the twenty-six regiments OF white
cavalry and infantry serving west OF
the Mississippi river. So far, seven
companies, three of cavalry and four
of infantry, have been recruited to
their full complement, and several
others partially so.
1t is found that lin good conduct,
drill and military bearing, attention
to duty, observance of courtesies and
care of horses, arms and equipments,
clothing, barracks, mess rooms and
kitchens, they are at least equal to
soldiers of other races of no greater

pressed that after a few months

ALL AROUND THE STATE.
Big Fire at MiddIebury


The most destructive fire that Mid
not in its whole history, broke out
soon after O'Clock Sunday evening.
Half of the business houses OF the
village are in ashes and the loss may
reach $15O,OOO. The fire caught in
the Smith & Sheldon block, on the
east side of Main street, close by the
bridge crossing Otter creek, that was
soon consumed, and Buttolph's block,
next east, caught. From this the
flames communicated to the Battell
block, attached to the Buttolph block
on the east. 1t stopped in its east
ward progress only when it had de-
stroyed the highway bridge across
the railroad. In the meantime Cobb
block on the west side of Main street,
opposite the block in which the fire
started, had begun to burn. From
this the fire spread to the Sheldon
block, the Sun grist mill, the old cot
ton factory, unoccupied, and to
dwelling next to Beck with & Co.'S
big block. The latter was saved,
but narrowly escaped destruction.
The Allen block across the street from
| the Beckwith block was also Destroy
ed. The losses are as follows: Shell

stock and mill, 500, 900, well insured;
grain in mill, $4,000, no insurance;
cotton mill, $4,000, small insurance;
Beckwith's stock damaged by water
from $4,000 to $4,000 This
makes a total Of about $125, 900 at
the least. Fire companies came from
Rutland and Burlington in response
to kilograms.
The house, shed and horse barns
of Charles Louis at South Reading
were burned recently, with most of
the furniture and clothing.
The house of D. W. Porter of
North Troy was burned early the
other morning and only a small
part of the furniture was saved.

SOCIALISM,.
Question Discussed Before the Protest
ant Episcopal Church Congress.

Question Discussed Before the Protest
ant Episcopal Church Congress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Rev. Reese f.
Alsop of Brooklyn opened the second
days proceedings of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church Congress with an address
on socialism. He pointed out the differ
ences between most of the noted advo-
Gates of socialistic theories, urged adhe-
sion to the present system of social econ
omies, holding that if labor forced a
change it might kill the goose and lose
the golden eggs. He did not believe the
present condition as bad as made out.
Thrift and enterprise rarely failed to
reap profits. 1t was not true that the
rich were getting richer and the poor
getting poorer. The laborer to-day en-
Joyed luxuries not dreamed of a hundred
years ago. There were abuses under the
present system of wealth distribution,
such as vast monopolies and trusts, that
led to llIegitimate profits, but they were
diseases to eradicate while the body need
not be destroyed.
Professor Gould of Philadelphia said
the serious evil of the socialistic system
was the destruction OF individuality. The
pulpit should condemn the moral evil OF
the present system, and should be taught
TO live in state of freedom, according to
the Masters teachings.
Rev. William Prall Of Detroit spoke OF
the prevailing discomfort among the la
boring classes, based on the belief that
they failed to receive their share of the
worlds wealth. The difference between
Christianity and socialism was found in
the fallacious socialistic belief that the
changing condition of men changed their
characters.
Rev. Dr. Kirkus of Baltimore said the
most radical and stupid Interpretation had
been given the Scriptures Religion was
never less than common sense. What
would become Of the fine arts under So
clallsm? What would become Of the
freedom Of the press?
Rev. Mr.. Huntington of New York
agreed with DR.. Kirkus, but from ex-
actly opposite reasons he was not a
socialist, but recognized that there was
dlscontent among the people-an intel
1ectual Glscontent moving toward social
ism. The capitalist was a hard working
man, the landowner was not. Men did
live without iron, gold and silver, but
never could live without land. Was it
not absurd to class land-gift of God-as
private property with things man made?
He did not favor the division Of land into
little bits, but he hates the landlord. His
title was blasphemous, for there was but
one landlord, and the human race were
his tenants.
At the evening session the topic dis
cussed was the relations of the clergy to
politics. Several addresses were made.
