THE VERMONT STATE TICKET,

Hb hh4hONI DI n u LLOhHI
The Vermont Journal, one of the lead
ing, as well as one of the most conserva-
tive EAST Side'' papers, has this to say
of the proposed State ticket: "As the
time for the State Convention draws
near it becomes apparent that Col. Levi
K, Fuller of Brattleboro will be the next
Governor of Vermont. The opposition
to his nomination cannot unite upon any
candidate, and the sentiment in his favor
becomes more pronounced daily. This
is eminently satisfactory to his Windham
County friends, and no less gratifying to
those of Windsor county who have adj
vocated his selection from the beginning
of the canvass. 1t is also apparent that
the name of Hon. f. S. Stranahan of st.
Adams is rapidly growing in favor for
the Lieutenant ant-GOvernorship. The
name of Hon. E. B. Taft of Burlington
finds favor in some quarters, notably in
certain newspaper offices, but generally
speaking the sentiment is toward Mr..
Stranahan, than whom no better selec-
ton can possibly be made. With Fuller
and Stranahan as their leaders, the Re-
publicans of Vermont will undoubtedly
roll up one of the old time majorihes
which have so frequently carried dismay
to Democratic camps. And especially
SO, if the ticket is further strengthened,
as it is conceded it will be, by the re-
nomination of the present Secretary of
State and State Treasurer.
"An element of doubt still rests upon
the choice of the State Auditor. The
three candidates in the field are all men
of acknowledged ability, and the choice
of any of them will not weaken the ex-
ceptionally strong ticket named. For
some time Hon. f. D. Hale of Lunen-
burg seemed to have decided lead, but
the recently announced candidacy of
Hon. Geo. w. Wing of Montpelier seems
to have changed the aspect, andit would
be far from surprising if the plum fell to
him. He is one of the ablest lawyers in
the State, and is possessed of that back
bone, governed by common sense and
exceptionally good judgment, essential
to an efficient and successful admins
tration of the affairs of that Office. Lo-
cation is also favorable to his candidacy,
and his friends are confident of success.
In case of close contest between the
two candidates named, it is believed by
his friends that Hon. Norman W. Paul
of Woodstock will be just the man to
cut the Gordian knot and bear off the
honors. But at present writing, it would
seem as if the candidacy of Mr.. Wing
was meeting with such favor, that the
question will be easily settled in Con-
vention."

An item recently appeared stating that
Dibble and Canedy sawed 212,000 feet of
lumber in their mill at Hartwellville in
the month of April. The following item
was sent to us telling what a Vermont
man did in his mill at Minneapolis: "On
the night of the 18th the Akeley mill,
running 1Of hours, cut 350240 feet of
lumber. The mill contains two circular
sawsand a gang. This record has never
before been reached by any mill of its size,

The editor of the Rutland Herald is
making tour of the State and writing to
his paper the way he finds State politics
in the towns he visits. He processes to
find large boom for Hon. William E.
johnson of Windsor county for Govern
or; says that gentleman's name will be
presented to the Convention, etc. We
should take more stock in Brother Per-
kins's predictions and findings if they
were not all uniformly anti-Fuller. Col.
Fuller certainly has some few friends in
the towns from which Editor Perkins
writes, although according to the Herald
they are not to be found.

The summary by the Imperial Mari
time Customs of China of foreign trade
during the past year records a great in
crease of American traffic with the
Celestial Empire. Importations of
American drills show an excess over
1890 of 263,000 pieces, and American
sheetings of SO7, 1000 pieces, the total i'm
port of the latter, ,00S, 900 pieces-be-
ing the largest on record. The use of
American oil shows a much larger pro-
portionate increase than Russian oil, the
consumption of American oil for 1891
being about 100000 gallons, as against
100000 gallons of Russian oil. The
figures indicate that the United States
has valuable trade with China, AID that
the Chinese prefer, to large extent, the
products of American labor to the goods
offered to them by England. Undoubted-
ly one reason of this is that while
American goods cost more, they are of
honest manufacture, whereas England
thinks anything good enough for the
ASiatic

tested 90o or over, and is entitled to q
bounty of two cents a pound; 1885, ,339
pounds. or S34 per cent. tested from S09
to 90o and is entitled to bounty of II
cents a pound, while 307,27O pounds
tested under S09 and will get no bounty.
In general terms, then, seven-eights of
the sugar tested will get the bounty.
The law requires that at least 800 pounds
testing so or over shall be produced to
get the bounty. In the total quantities
given above are included 522 pounds,
testing 900 or over and 27,3O6 pounds
testing S0' to 900 that were in quantities
of less than 500 pounds per person and
hence lose the bounty. So that there
remains Sl,715 pounds at cents per
pound, equals S1,634.30, and 1,912,033
pounds at II cents per pound, equals
$50, 46O.5S, a total bounty for Vermont
of $50, ,094.SS.
OF the 1918 who tried to get the
bounty, 1911 succeeded and 247 failed;
these latter being divided into 6S who
failed because they made less than 800
pounds, and 10 because their sugar did
not test S0e. The 1917 who obtained the
bounty received on the average S21.7O.
The 69l who took out licenses but did
not present any sugar to be weighed had
various reasons; some did not tap their
orchards this Spring; some did not make
800 pounds some made syrup instead of
sugar; quite a number were misled by
the warm spell that occurred in the mid
die of the sugar season into thinking
that sugaring was over, and, as they had
not made 500 pounds at that time.

THE REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

Minneapolis has been the centre of at
traction for the world during the week.
The crowds assembled have shouted
themselves hoarse over one boom or
another, and between cheers for Presi-
dent Harrison, Mr.. Blaine and the al
legged Ozark Horse" Maj. Mckinley or
someone else, each faction has had
enough to keep them all busy. Mean
time, the work of the Convention has
gone steadily on. The temporary Or
ganization of Tuesday, was succeeded
Wednesday by the permanent organiza-
ton, with Maj. Mckinley as permanent
Chairman. He received a veritable ova-
ton on taking the Chair. His speech
was truly American, and was not
eclipsed by the great address of Chaun-
cey Depew, Thomas B. Reed and others.
Nothing but a perusal of the dailies will
give the reader an accurate idea of the
momentous issues that have hung in the
balance for the past few days.
Yesterday the platform was reported.
1t reasserts the American doctrine of
Protection; denounces Democratic
efforts to destroy piecemeal the tariff
laws through the majority of the Nation
al House; favors the use of both gold
and silver as coin; commends the Ad-
ministration in its foreign policy; reas-
serts the demand that every citizen of
the United States be allowed to cast one
free and unrestricted ballot in all public
elections, and that such ballot shall be
counted and returned as cast; that such
laws shall be enacted and enforced as
will insure to every citizen, be he rich or
poor, native or foreign born, white or
black, this sovereign right guaranteed
by the Constitution; favors the restora-
tion of our merchant marine: reaffirms
the Munroe doctrine, and views the par
ty's devotion to liberty at home, in Ire
land, Russia or wherever the oppressed
may be found 1t opposes trusts and
commends the Civil service.
At the evening session which did not
adjourn till nearly o'clock this morn
ing, the Committee on Credentials re-
ported. There were two reports-a
majority, or Harrison report, and a mi
nority, or Blaine report. The Harrison
report was adopted by vote of 462 to
423. This was the first test vote of the
Convention and indicates that Harrison
will be nominated on the first ballot
Then, after some routine business, the
Convention adjourned until II O'Clock
to-day when balloting will probably
bJgin.

The Sugar Bounty.

The State Agricultural Experiment
station has lust issued bulletin setting
forth the results obtained by the Yer
mont farmers in their endeavor to get
the sugar bounty this year. The facts
and figures embodied in the bulletin
were prepared by Profs. W. w. Cooke
and ]. l.. Hills, and were obtained from
the records of the Government labora-
tory at Montpelier.
The records at the present time are
complete for about nine-tenths of the
season and afford a sufficient basis for
estimating the remainder. From the re-
turns at Montpelier, it appears that
2.32s, ,s46 pounds Of sugar were weighed
and sampled this year for the bounty, Of

Harrison. Circumstances of the mo-
ment will determine its course after that.
There is Blaine sentiment in the del

Judge Powers, the head of the delega-

the delegates will act together with the

The Clipper, whose editor was
originally from ''over the mountain" :"
let's little light in upon one "boom''
that is now cultivated by the anti-Fuller
papers. 1t says: "a newspaper down
at Bethel has made the discovery that
William E. Johnson of Woodstock would
accept the nomination for Governor but
will not enter into an ''unseemly strife
for the place. This is very wise on the
part of Mr.. johnson who is an able
lawyer and a good citizen generally. He
probably realizes that Windsor county
having had three Governors during the
past 80 years is not entitled to consider
alton with Windham county presenting,
as it does, an able and worthy candidate.
Mr.. Johnson, however, probably has no
objection to being mentioned as he
realizes that it will in no wise injure the
chance which he is said to be nourishing
to get into Congressman CIRCUITS shoes
about two years hence"

The course that the Rutland Herald
pursues in 'killing off, Republican can

Thomas II. Benton when he was running

things looked blue for Benton and he

his return home one day he found his
wife holding newspaper in her hand
and weeping bitterly. He asked her
what the matter was, when she replied,

FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
The Strikers Have an Insight Into All
the Workings Inside the
Carnegie Fence.

By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 26-Interest in
the progress of affairs at the Carnegie
works, and in fact in every other matter
connected with the Homestead troubles,
has been subordnated by the Iams mat
ter. The men took no notice of the
smoke and steam issuing from the big
stacks of the mills which they found so
interesting a few days g 20. Scouts of
the amalgamated association have not re-
laxed their vigilance, however, and one
of them brought the advisory committee
a non union man who left the mills this
morning. He said his name was Henry
SlOker, of Philadelphia, and had
been engaged as blacksmith at an
employment agency il his own city. He
was not told where he was to be sent and
on Friday morning he was landed in the
Homestead works. Slocker says that
about four hundred men are inside the
mills, but no active work is being done
He claims that nany men in the works
would like to leave but that the
company refuses them passes to go
ontside the fence and makes them be-
lieve that an infu1iated mob is awaiting
to assault them if they enter Homestead.
Many of the men, he says, are Russian
Hebrews. Stockers say he obtained his
release on sick leave He represents
that the men are treated we'll, but are
not allowed to read newspapers.
