IMPORTANT RAILROAD MATTERS.

The bonds of the Central Vermont
railroad company have continued to
gradually rise in the market feom the
eighties to fraction over 90. This
ascending movement began Immediately
after Col. E. c. Smith was elected presi-
dent and the leased corporations became
fully organized into the present SYSTEM
A prominent financier of Burlington,
who is closely allied and interested in
several railroads was seen by Free
Press reporter last week and asked how
he accounted for this rise. He said it
was due to the uniting of various things
and also because people have confidence
in the management of Col. E. c. Smith
and believe it to be permanent.
The freight and passenger traffic is in
creasing all the while, which, of course,
makes the earnings increase accordingly
and the scrutiny of the management into
every detail has cut down expenses
wonderfully so that the bonds of the
road could not help becoming more
valuable. 1t was his opinion that the
bonds would be at par in very short
time unless there should be one of those
things called accidents, which cannot be
foretold. The greater share of the 100
locomotives ordered by DR.. w. S. Webb
for his Adirondack railroad will be used
by the Central Vermont when needed
The road has been badly crippled for
several months for want of locomotive
power.

gentleman said that DIR. Webb would
push the construction of the Adirondack
road through just the same, now the
New York Central had got control of
the Delaware and Hudson. 1t is possible
that the New York Central will also con-
troll the Lake Champlain Transportation
company and the Chateaugay railroad,
which corporations were controlled by
the Delaware and Hudson company.
This is not probable, however, as Col. l..
G. B. Cannon, Hon. Smith NJ. Weed and
A. L. Inman, who, it is said own con-
trolling interest in each of these corpor-
ations, were much opposed to the road
going into the hands of the New York
Central people. The Champlain Trans
portation company and Chateaugay rail
road are dependent to a great extent
upon their connections with the Della
ware and Hudson for tourist travel and
freight traffic. But it would probably
hurt the New York Central as much to
sever relations with these companies as
it would the companies themselves.
When DR.. Webb's Adirondack road is
completed the Chateaugay road will
then, under the new arrangement, lose
practically all of the Summer travel to
the Adirondacks, though the freighting
of the product of the mines on the road
is large and cannot be taken from it.
This will pay for maintaining and
operating the road, so that there is no
need of fear on the part of its stock
holders.

Normal School Matters.

The Normal School at Platieville is
crowded to its fullest seating capacity
this term. This is something unusual
as it is quite customary for many of the
young lady students to teach during the
spring term. Some of the young gen.
tleman also are usually compelled to
leave school and take charge of farm
work, therefore the attendance this
term shows more than usual interest in
educational work. The addition to the
Normal building is nearly completed,

wonderfully increase the already good
conveniences and advantages of this
school. The Milwaukee Normal school
affairs seem yet to be in an unsettled
condition. President Mapel resigned
and his place has been temporarily
filled by the appointment of Prof. Hair

That Gerrymander.

ANY one who reads only the most
radical of the Democratic papers must
come to the conclusion that the last
Gerrymander in this state was made by
the Republicans. They talk of the de-
csion of tine supreme Court as a rebuke
TO Republican Gerry Wandering. Many
of the papers would lead their readers
to believe that the last Democratic
Gerry mander was no worse than form
er ones have been. What nonsense!
Does any one suppose that the Demo-
Gratis would quietly submit to such an
unmitigated act of injustice as the last
apportionment was. Not by a good
deal. II they had ever been given any
thing like so good an opportunity to
upset an act of legislature they wonid
have improved it. Why dou't these
Democratic papers get out some maps
showing that former appointments
have been worse or as bad AS the last
There are good reasons why they don't
They haYe got to keep their courage up
some how and they do it by throwing
at ghosts. There can be no doubt that
there arc many democrats who are
secretly glad that the decision of the
Court is rs it is in this case, but Gen.
Bragg is not one of them-he has his
war paint on and wants to 60 20 the ..
S. Senate in Senator Sawyers place
next year. He instructs Gov. Peck to
paw no attention TO the decision, and
not to call an extra session of the legis-
lature but to 90 on and instruct Secre-
tary of State Cunningham to issue the
usual notice of election and go on as if
nothing had happened. What action
will be taken in this matter remains to be
seen but one thing is pretty evident and
that is that Boss Wall. Doc. Anderson
are not the whole state of Wisconsin, nor
is it very likely that they represent the
sentiments of the rank and file of the
democratic party.

The Mugwumps that are making a

wump machine is the most pernicious
in politics. 1t is located in the city of
New York, and 1t is fabricated with the

but the self-sufficient Mugwumps, who
were making hypocritical cry for civil

and conventions, took an almost dia-
bolical delight in gagging the thirty
other delegates. The unit rule was as
sacred to them as it could have been

Mr.. Cleveland believes in ciyil-service

Some doleful people are going about
the country saying that within the next
ten years the United States will not
produce enough breadstuffs and pro-
visions to meet the demands of home
consumption. They probably do not
know that not half of the lands of the
United States. exclusive of Alaska, have
yet been even surveyed. much less
settled upon. The surveyed lands in
the United States amount to-day to
2S5, 000,000 acres. the unsurveyed to
294000.000. Substantially all the sur
geyed land is arabic, and not more than
half Of it is now under cultivation. OF
the unsurveyed land, at least half is
arabic. The production of the United
States could therefore be, at the lowest
calculation, three times as great as it is,
so that oven when we have 200, 100000
population we shall be able to supply
ourselves with agricultural provisions
and still send abroad three times as
much as we are sending today. Des-
pue the poor old croakers, there is lot
