There is said to be feeling at Washing

passed at this session of Congress for the
worlds fair, as there seems to be a decided
Discrimination among the democratic mem
bors to vote for any large sum Of money to
aid the fair at this time. At tho next ses
sion, after the presidential election, it is ex-
pected that members 0; Congress will be
disposed to make all the necessary appro-
priations to make the'fair,a success, whether

so years old, and measures II feet IL

imported him. He was brought over in an
enclosure built on the hurricane deck Of the
City of Benlok, and it took five men to
keep him from breaking loose during some

New England CHARACTERISTICS and
statistics.

~ reception lOf women, OF lie Now
England Society of Brooklyn, held last
Wednesday evening" Hon. Roswell G. Horn
delivered an address on New England
Characteristics. - lie said among other
things:
"The entire population of New England
in 1890 was !, zoo, 40. or these, !, l43. 339
were foreign born. Thus it will be seen that
almost one quarter OF the present population
Of New England were born in foreign lands.
According to this cersius the number OF fe-
males in New England exceeds the males by
I3, $50. ! was about to draw from this fact
some moro conclusions, wien | discovered
that in Maine the males exceeded the fe.
males over 1000, and that in the State of
Vermont, my birthplace, the men outnum-
bareG the women by O232. The discovery
Of that fact ruined my item and put an end
to my moralizing. In Massachusetts and
Rhode Island only two-hftLs of tho psople
arc Of pure native New England stock, in
Connecticut not quito one half In Yer
mont and Now Hampshire about two-thirds;
III Maine only three-quartcrs arc Of native
STOCK. let in all New England only shade

OF New Ensland. 6S per cent OF her voters
are native born and 80 per cent are foreign
born, and Sd per cent Of her people speak
tho English language, while Ii per cent OF
tho people now living in New Elgiaut can
not speak the English language ut ali.
These facts show the difficulty OF got
| ting at New England characteristics by
studying the people as we find
them there TO-DAY. Yet in spite
of all this foreign influx, tho civiliza
ton of New England is full OF char
acteristics that have come to it through heI
people for tho last two centuries. The most
striking feature, the one that seems to me
to have escaped the observation OF every
thoughtful man, is the one fact that In New

seems to be DONG something. APPLAUSE In

The Atkins-Chubb squabblc.

One OF the most interesting developments
Of the fight in progress among the demo-
Gratis OF Vermont is the publication of the
correspondence between Hiram Atkins sad
Thomas II. Chubb, who were formerly firm
personal and political friends, but who are
now at swords points. In the first place Mr.
Atkin stock Mr.. Chubh to do for saying that
the former was "afIIili man and down on
Cleveland, " anl chided him for working him
self into q state OF mind with the internal
affairs OF the democratic party OF this
State, thus intlmat!ng pretty strongly
that Chubb was an outsider. Capt. Chubb
replied at considerable length, intimating
that Mr. Atkins at heart svmpathized with
Hill and only got down on the Cleveland side
of the democratic fence when Hill was plainly
out OF The race. He proceeded TO show how
the democratic ranks have become thin
and afflicted with lethargy during the past
ten years; stated that majority OF the
democrats in the State want change in
the charmanship of the State committee,
and closed with the claim that he had been
just as good democrat as had Mr.. Atkins
The Argus thereupon took up the contro-
versy. 1t took the ground that the letters
were not for publication but rather guar
anty OF tie two writer's want Of good faith
in each other, and devoted few remarks
to Capt. Chubb Of an extremely personal
nature. Among other things Mr.. Atkins
recalled the fact that the captain fought on
the wron; side during the war, and al
though they do not seem to agree very we'll
now, it IS a matter OF history that the two
men were on the same side in that conflict.
| Capt Chubb insinuates as much when he
says:

army, and when the war was ended accepted
| the result in good faith, and again became a
! citizen Of the United States and have ever

from thc Brattleboro Phoenix.

1t is the testimony OF all who were pres
emit at the conventions at Montpelier on
Wednesday that the sentiment Of delegates
and others was strongly in favor of Col. l..
X. Fuller for the next governor OF Yer
mont. His excellent qualifications for the
place were conceded and the claims OF
Windham county were acknowledged.
Those who were not favorable to Col. Full
ler's candidacy made no secret of their ap-
probation of the drift Of public sentiment
toward him. Whatever attempt was made
to use the conventions to boom any candI-
date, no work of this kind could be charged
to Col. Fuller's adherents. The course
adopted by those who attempted to force
an expression of choice of candidates from
the delegates was severely criticised. Many
Of Col. Fuller's warmest friends refused to
give any such expression, and 1t is sig
nificant fact that no complete statement OF
the result arrived at has been published.
Another point well established is that, what
ever opposition to Col. Fuller exists, 1t has
not assumed any organized form, and is SO
far unable to unite upon any capdidate.
The outlook, it is evident, could hardly be
more satisfactory.

Opinions OF Various Vermont Papers.
From the Montpelier Watchman.

At the convention OF $780, the lieutenant
governor pledged himself to his leading
champions to abide by the rule he had helped
to enforce against Col, Woodbury., and he
will be held to a faithful adherence to the
the rule and to his pledges. He should un-
derstand that there Is middle course for
him to pursue. TO keep silent and allow
his supporters to put Ln into the canvass,
is as bad as il he entered it openly and ac-
lively.
The only objection, y in the language of
the Messenger, to Lieut.. Gov. Fetcher's
candidacy may be wholesome and we'll
settled precedent; the only objection
against his nomination may be his per-
sonal agency in establishing that pre-.
cedenJ and his pledge that if nomi-
mated to the lieutenant governorship he would
not be candidate for direct promotion to the
higher office. This objection would seen
to be conclusive with men who prize con-
sistency and regard pledges. The conven-
tions at Montpelier last week afforded,
through the delegates and visitors, an OPP
portunity to judge Of the trend of public
opinion. 1t was very clear TO every Impair
tlal inquirer or observer that the large ma
jority of popular preference was in favor of
the candidacy of Col. Fuller-and this pref
erence was both spontaneous and cordial.
The Waterman is not the newspaper at
torney OF Col Fuller or any other candi-
date. 1t believes that, all things consider
| ed, he is the best man for the republicans to
nominate is best qualified and equipped by
study, information specific and general ex-
perience business and official, travel, ac-
! qualntance, etc, etc, for the duties that
will devolve upon the Office OF governor dur
| ing the next two years. The great ma jor-
ity of rational, unbiased republicans are
taking this view Of the matter and he will
be nominated with substantial unanimity.
