Washington Cor. Springfield Republican,
The Vermont delegation in the two houses
of Congress is still n strong one in spite of
the retirement OF Mr.. Edmunds. Senator
Morrill, is looked up to as the father of the
Senate and one Of the soundest on finance
in the entire body. His recent absence
from the chamber during the recent illness
of his wife caused sincere regrett, not only
from the sympathy which all felt for him,
but from the lack Of his counsel and clear
views on the committee on finance. Elk
Secretary Proctor and Gen. Circuit mako
striking looking pair, with strength of char
acter stamped on the faces of both, as they
saunter arm-iu arm from the Senate to the
House or back again. Gen. Circuit has
stood some bitter attacks from disappointed
politicians at home but the people of Yer
mont are not easily influenced by that sort
of thing. and Vermont will be the looser if
she does not send him back again. Judge
Powers, with no previous record here, has
already made his mark By his judicial mind
and keen legal ability. | have heard a
democratic representative, himself lawyer,
say that Judge Powers was one Of the
ablest lawyers in the House.

The proposition to start a canning estab-
iishment in Burlington has caused consider
able comment, and there is no little interest
among the farmers in this section in rela-
tion to an industry which would furnish
ready market for fruits, corn, beans, pump
bius, squash and other products at fair
prices without the trouble of storing them
or drying them on the farm, There are also
many other places in Vermont where the
canning industry could be instituted with
advantage TO the farmers, as well as TO the
business interests Of tho respective commu,
mites.
The city OF Auburn in Maine, which has
many conditions in common with Burling-
ton and other Vermont towns as regards To-
cation in farming region and distance
from large markets, has an extern
sive canning establishment which has been
in operation for a number of years,
and 50 successful has it been that several
others have been started in the immediate
vicinity. A canning factory in the Cham
plain valley and other fruit growing sec
tions of Verm ont especially ought to sue
coed equally as well and there are apparent
ly 1atterng inducements for inst.tuting
this project in this State,
The advantages OF such en- industry arc
obvious. When farmer knows he can sci
his whole crop Of corn, for instance, in one
place as fast rs he can pick the ears ant
GU mp them on the husking ground at the
shop be will not spend much time peddlins
sweet corn by the dozen from store to stor,
unless he lives near by and has fancy
for that kind of dick ring. The same ap
plies TO other products, so that while th'
market would be supplied by those who arr
prepared and have a taste for the business

the present season and the success OF the
larger towns can be initiated on a smaller
scale by the smaller villages. Boards of
trade can help along the work of industrial
progress, but it is usually the efforts Of one
or, at most, of several live, energetic men that
produce results, be it through an organized
channel or through individual effort. II
one or two public spirited and wide awake
business men in each community in the State
will go to work judiciously and systematic
ally and push things to secure or develope
new industries and promote those already
established, the value Of our manufacturing
interests can be doubled in five years, and at
the end of that period Vermont will already
have become one Of the most successful in
dustrial States.

The industrial awakening in Vermont has
State and the extent to which her facilities
for the accommodation OF new enterprises
is known is partially indicated by the large
number of manufacturers who are seeking
a location within our borders. The coming
season is likely to witness the institution of
many new industrial enterprises, as we'll as
an encouraging degree of prosperity for
those already established. The statement
in relation to Nermont's manufacturing In
terests recently published by the State
Board Of Agriculture, is already bearing
fruit in more ways than one. In comment
ing upon this publication the Manufacturers
Gazette say that Vermont has never come
very prominently to the front for Its manu-
featuring industries, and that outside Of a
few large and well-known establishments,
her industrial interests have been confined
to quarrying and agriculture, for both Of
which she has gained a wide reputation. In
this respect it is the only one of the New
England States which has not figured prom
inently, but the Gazette sees bright future
for Vermont's industries, as is indicated by
the following comments.
1t Is therefore with considerable interest
that we note the progress and development
within the last few years, and especially the
year just passed. which has been made in the
line OF manufacturing industries.
1t is a fact that in those sections where
there is diversity of industries there is the
greater prosperity, and it is also n. fact that
agricultural and manufacturing interests are,
to a considerable extent dependent upon one
another and are more successful when work
ing together.
For this reason. Vermont, with its natural
advantages for manufacturing, may reason
ably be expected to become one OF the most
successful Industrial States.
The Gazette makes two statements in this
connection which should be carefully noted.
If diversity of industries is conducive to
prosperity it follows that the greater the
diversity of industries the greater will be
tho general prosperity. Hence the neces-
sity for the encouragement of new indus
tries in Vermont readily appears. 1t is also
plain that the Gazetts's prediction as TO the
industrial future Of Vermont is not over
drawn and 1t lies within the power OF the
residents Of every pace o, any siae in the
State to hasten its fulfllment.
That such a result is possible is shown by
what has been accomplish during the past
year alone in BurlngtoG, ST. Albans
Montpelier, Mddlebury, Rutland, St.
Johnsbury, Bellows Falls, Bratteboro, Ben
uington and other -four ishing towns which
might De uamal. The new industries of the
past year can 10 doubled In number during

As usual the discussion of the governor
ship question among Nermonters over
shadows the balance of the State ticket. and
but little has been said or heard as to candi-
dates for the other Offices The present
most efficient State treasurer, Hon. Henry
+. Field, was first elected to that office
through the upheaval Of two years ago. He
merits, and according to custom and usage
will receive a denomination without opposl-
ton. The same may De said of the genial
and capable secretary of state, Hon. Chaun-
cey w. Brownel, who also was called to
his position two years ago. For the State
authorship it is understood that Hon. (.
Henry Powell will accept II denomination.
No objection has been raised to him except
his long term of service, aud the belief that
this is sufficient ground for change. The
names that have thus far appeared in con-
meet on with contest Of his nomination are
Hon. Frank ID. Hale, an liable lawyer and
staunch young republican of Lunenburgh,
and Hon. Norman W. Paul Of Woodstock
who requires no Introduction to the repuDli-
cans of eastern Vermont.
Coming to the Acknowledgements
the two names most prominently mention
ed are Col +. stewart Stranahan of st.
Adams and Hon. Elihu b. TAFT OF Burling-
ton. The choice of either would add
strength to the ticket Location weighs
against the latter, however, and the senti-
ment in favor Of Mr.. Stranahan is thereby
greatly strengthened.

add very much to the business of our trad
ers. Fruit of all kinds that would not keep
till winter, and apples that would not be
suitable to put on the regular market, could
be disposed of in this way and find ready
sale.
In giving directions how to start the bust
ness an exchange says there must be an
agreement between the farmers and the
canning company. The latter must be as
sured that a certain number OF acres will be
planted for them, and the former must be
sure OF a market for the crop. Such estab-
lishments have been built where they had
the assurance OF hundred acres OF sweet
corn alone and it ought to be easy to get
more than that in western Vermont.
In Maine where dairying and canning are
carried on extensively it is found that the
two can be proitably joined. Sweet corn
is the main crop grown especially for this
b usiness and the ears are picked for the fac
tory at the season when pastures are often
failing, and the stocks make the best posi-
BILE food for cows at that season, and if not
wanted then they can be put in the slo or
dried for winter when the weather is much
more favorable for that than after the usual
corn harvest.
| In this section the extensive fruit crops
would make the industry more certain of
success and we hope soon to chronicle the
starting of canning establishments in Bur
lingtonas well as other towns in Vermont.

Where Il House Cleaning is Needed.
The Rutland Cali takes hand in the dis
cusson started by the Brattleboro Reform
concerning the alleged need Of a house
cleaning in Vermont politics and while it
speaks from nominally independent
view it very evidently looks from
the democratic side OF tho house.
The Call quotes the remark of the
FREE Press to the effect that if the
action of the democratic State committee in
locating the State convention is any criter
ion sit will be some time before our politi-
cal friends, the enemy, will be able to put
their own house in order, and this will be
essential to demonstrate their ability to look
after the State house" and it asks the fol-
lowing question:
Was our contemporary aware OF the fact
that two years ago this same hght was in pro-
gress, and that the democratic vote that year
was larger than that of previous years!
We have a very vivid remembrance of
''this came fight" in the democratic State
convention two years ago, which no one who
was present is likely to soon forget, and if
our memory serves US right the political
house cleaning attempted on that occasion
was an inglorious failure.
In answer to the second part of our es-
teemed contemporary inquiry, we must
say that we were not not aware that "the
democratic vote that year was larger than
that of previous years." On the contrary,
we are aware that it was much smaller, and
this result was no doubt largely due to the
widespread dissatisfaction over the outcome
of "this same fight" A few figures in this
connection may prove to be instructive. The
total democratic vote for Shurtletf for gov
ernor in 1883 was 10, j21, i'll 1884 l.. W.
Reddington given 10, $50, in 1880 E.
j. Phelps received about %, 900, and as far
back as 1876 the democratic vote for Bng-
ham was 90, 1888, while-in 1890 the demo-
Gratis gave brigham only 10, 299--a condi-
ton OF affairs not entirely creditable to
''the present effective organization of the
| party.
These figures go to show that the demo-
Gratis of Vermont have been making progress
| backward as regards strength for some time
and it is evident that the Reformer's cry
for house cleaning in Vermont politics,
which was aimed originally at the republi-
cans was instituted none too soon for the
welfare of its own party.

The effort on the part OF few news

nomination OF Auditor Powell appears to
have fallen rather fiat. We do not know
that Col Powell will again accept nomina-
ton to this important office, but we do know
that it he listens to the public call the NOM
ination will be forthcoming without much
opposition. He is true and tried official
and we cannot see wherein the State will be
benetltted by change.

Our democratic friends in this State who

years without at all influencing the result
