ENTHUSIASTIC WOMEN.

A few women, somewhat enthus-
iastic and somewhat generous, are
looking for scores and hundreds of
other women more enthusiastic and
more generous.
The few women aforesaid realize
something of the benefits they have
received for themselves and their
children from the teachers and trus-
tees of St. Johnsbury Academy. They
wish to secure the same benefits for
some worthy girl or girls, who might
in no other way than by a scholar
ship be able to obtain it.
Five hundred dollars, we'll invest
ed, will by its interest pay the tuition
of one girl for one year. There must
be more than one hundred women,
enthusiastic and generous, who by a
contribution of SIS each can secure
one scholarship.
There must be five hundred more
who by the payment of one dollar
each can secure a second one. There
may be fifty alumnae so enthusiastic
and so generous as to give ten dollars
each
And with something of the faith of
Abraham when he prayed for Sodom,
we should think it possible there may
be alumnae whose enthusiasm would
be measured by sums much larger
haps any of the above-named; per-
haps even for the greater needs, and
wider usefulness fthe Academy itself.
Responsive expressions of interest or
contributions in money may be sent
to Mrs. Elisha May, Mrs. Walter
P. Smith, or Mrs. S. T. Brooks.

Miss Mary Rankin, formerly of St.
Johnsbury, graduated at Smith col
lege, Northampton, last week. She
gave the Grafton at the ivy exercises
and in her subject, "Theater Re-

amusements. She took the ground
that the theater properly managed,
with the right sort of plays, might
and should provide amusement for
all classes. She cited ''Dr. Jekyl and
Mr.. Hyde" as an example of fine
technical work.

THE RECEPTION.

The exercises of the Semi-Centen-
NAL closed with an informal and
very enjoyable reception at the Mu
scum in the evening. The St. Johns
bury band furnished music, there
was a large attendance, and the op-
portunity for the renewal of old &C
quaintances and the making of new
ones-the chatting over by-gone
school days, and the general inter-
change of social courtesies-was fully
taken advantage of. The rain
which had generously held off up to
this time, came down in torrents DUR
ing the evening, but did not interfere
with the enjoyment of the merry
company inside the Museum.

ON THE Ola MOND.
stJohnsburys o-Lancastels s.

Poor ump1rlnS came near wreck
ing the game here between the above
named mines on Saturday last, in
the 9th inning, and the crowd was
treated to an exhibition of kick and
counter-kick that it hopes never to
see repeated. A decided concession
on the part of the home team
brought about the resumption of the
game. In the first inning the Lam
casters failed to score, while, owing
to sluggishness on the part of the
visiting pitcher the home team hit
the ball and stole bases at will until
five runs were scored by them. In
the I'd good work by Shufelt and
French shut out the visitors; then
the latter's pitcher walked up, and St.
Johnsbury also failed to score.
In the Sd the Lancasters got in
two runs on errors, and were only
kept from a third by a splendid
catch by Meigs; and St. Johnsbury
did not make a mark. In the 4th
both sides were presented with
goose-egg, and the score stood 5 to
with hope reigning high in the
Lancaster heart.
In the 9Th a foul catch and q good
throw to I'd by French, and the
capturing of a fly by Bannan pre-
vented any scoring by the visitors;
but the St. Johnsburys Jared as poor
ly and the figures did not change
In the 9th the home team grew care
less and the Lancasters tied the
score. The decisions by the umpire
up to this time included some tire
somelv rank ones, but the climax
was capped when the third man of
the Lancasters was put out fairly at
second base and was declared safe"
The home team stopped short and
declared they would play no more
with such umpiring, as it was evil
dent they could not hope for
square deal at the hands of an in
competent Though probably honest)
judge. The crowd endorsed this re-
fusal to play, and. with the players,
insisted on new umpire. The Ian
casters finally yielded and Rickaby
went in as umpire-the home team
going so far as to submit to the
rank decision on I'd and call the
runner 'safe." After this episode
the visitors, though they secured one
more run, were somewhat ratified,
and in the last half of the 9th inning
ST. Johnsbury found runs, leaving
the score s to 6. The game moved
along without further incident till
the beginning Of the 9th, when the
score stood 8 to s, and the interest
was great. The Lancast ers failed to
add to their figures, and when the
two St. Johnsbury players went out
and no mark had been madeit looked
as though a tenth inning would be
necessary. But Hale went to bat
and hit so hard that he found third
base before the ball reached that
locality; then Ide took up the stick,
but passed ball allowed Hale to
bring in the winning run, and the
great kick of the season was finished.
The St. Johnsbury ball team made
a fine record at Newport yesterday,
defeating the nine there in score of
6 to O. Hildreth of Newport was
umpire. Shufelt and French did the
battery work for st. Johnsbury, and
only two hits were made on the
formers pitching. Quackenbos and
Monahan officiated for the Newports.

machines claiming them to be as good But
they were not good. Most of these COM

GO VERNMENT O OWNERSHIP OF r. r.

After the peoples party had
made their platform they asked
United States Senator Carlisle
what he thought of their scheme
of government ownership of rail
roads and telegraph. He asked if
they meant to get possession OF
them by confiscation, and they re-
piled in the negative. He then
showed that if the government did
not confscate it must buy, and
that if it paid fair price to the
owners of the property it would
have to raise for the purpose $l4,-
O00,000,0OO, a sum over four times
greater than the debt incurred in
the prosecution of the late war,
and would have to raise it by tax
alton.
care you ready" he said, "te
tax yourselves to raise this money?
Then, after you have got the prop
erty, are you ready to tax your
selves to operate it, for the govern
ment never yet succeeded in do
ing business at a profit? Consider
another effect; such a plan would
add perhaps 100000 men and
women to the roll OF government
employees. How would you ever
succeed in turning out of power an
administration with such resources
at its command? The more cor
rupt it was the more difficult it
would be to displace it."
Then the peoples party plat
form architects asked Mr.. Carlisle
what he thought about their de-
nunciation of the concentration Of
s'the money power in few hands" :"
Then Mr.. Carlisle asked how they
would remedy this evil-5y a
revolution or by an act of legisla-
ture? "Do you propose to say by
your legislature that when man
has earned 800 or 81, 1000 or $10,
0O0 that he shall not earn anv
more" This again reduced them
to silence.

CHEAP MONEY.

The peoples party want sscheap
money and plenty of it," so they
urge the sub-treasury scheme, free
coinage of silver, the land mort
gage scheme. The experience of
the southern confederacy ought to
have cured the south of the delu-
sion that an increase to the vol
ume of the currency is the cure for
all financial ills. The southern
confederacy issued just the kind
of currency that the peoples party
calls for; it was issued by the gov
ernment in volume as needed, and
was based on the faith and credit
of the seeding states as much as
sub treasury currency would be
based upon the credit and re-
sources of the United States.
Confederate money was always
plenty and cheap, but it finally be-
came so cheap that a barrel of
flour would buy wagon load Of
it. 1t brought big prices to farm
ers and to everybody who had any
thing to sell, but the farmers did
not get rich. The wages Of labor,
measured by their power to pur-
chase the comforts of life, did not
rise as the currency became plenty
and cheap. Gold was the standard,
but the confederacy were not able
to redeem in gold, so flour sold for
$500 a barrel, pair of shoes for
$500, OF pair OF hickory trousers
for 800.

Or all the fruit brought into
Portland there is very little that
equals that produced by Joseph
Ranger, of Oswego. The Portland
grocers at this time are selling Mr..
Rangers apples for $3.50 per box.
Although Mr.. Ranger is not yet
a large fruit grower he is proceed
ing upon most thorough principles.
AS an illustration Of the pains
that he takes to keep pests away
from his orchard it may be related
that he declined to take back to
his place his own fruit boxes after
they had been in town for a day
or two before being emptied. If
all of our fruit growers were like
Mr.. Ranger there would be an un-
limited demand for Ore gon fruit.

ALASKA'S FISHERIES.

Hon. Max Pracht, of Oregon,
VINO IS about to retRrn to Alaska,
to act this time as fish commits
sloner under the law passed March
2, 1889, makes remarks which
should set our traders thinking, for
Alaska is clearly part of our COM
mercial territory. He says that
''the salmon fisheries, to which his
special attention will be directed,
are far more valuable to the Unit
ed States than the seal fisheries.
Last year the pack was 100000
cases, valued at $3,225,OOO. Here
tofore many of the streams up
which the salmon run to spawn
have been actually blockaded by
devices for salmon catching, some
times a dam being raised to pre-
vent them entering. The law of
March 2, 1889, prohibits such of
these as are distractions, it being
the object to preserve the fisheries
for all time. Reasonable measures
taken by the fishermen to procure
catch are not contemplated as
contrary to the spirit of the law.
Besides the wealth of salmon, MI.
Pracht thinks highly of the black
cod banks, of which there are sew
eral off the shores of the peninsula
running out southwesterly from
Alaska. He claims that they are
as prolific and even richer than
the famous banks of Newfoundland.
In few years, on account of the
slow failure of these banks, the
Alaska commodity must come to
be of great commercial value.
There are three firms of San Fran
cisco who have been sending YES
sells north with good results. The
banks are about fifty tathoms un-
der water, and the catch is made
with hand lines, the men fishing
over the sides of the vessels and
dories, two men to each dory. They
are fetched and sailed down in
the hold, taken to San Francisco
and there sun dried. For the first
couple of years the fish were
s'rusty" ON account of faulty cur
ing, but now the secrets Of proper
curing have been found with the
most beneficial results. s."-Astor-

suming that the republican policy

try, let them admit that the peo-

course to pursue. 1t will make
more votes than endorsing the as

The annual consumption of
prunes in the United States is a
little over one pound for each per-
son. AS the population Of the
country is increasing at the rate
of one million and a half year it
is easy to see that the consump-
ton will increase pretty rapidly
even if there shall be no increase e
in the rate of consumption. The
quality of the prune of the Pacific
northwest is so far superior to
that of the common prune of COM
merce that whenever they are put
upon the market at prices any
where near as low as the common
foreign prune sells for there will
inevitably be an immense increase
in the rate of consumption. With
the aid of protective tariff of two
cents per pound, joined to the su-
perior quality of our product, the
Pacific coast should certainly be
able to drive the foreign prunes
out of the market without reduc-
ing the price of prunes to a point
that will knock all the profit out
of the business. At the present
time California is producing about
one-third enough prunes to supply
the United States. In ten years
Oregon and Washington ought to
produce one half of all the prunes
consumed in the United States.
To do this will require close to 50,-
100000 pounds of prunes. 1t is
evident that there is plenty of
room yet for development of the
prune business without OVERRIDING

The letters of President Harr

The letters Of President Harri-
son and MIR. Blaine define the re-
publican position in the present
campaign clearly and forcibly.
They adhere closely to the letter
and spirit of the republican nation
al platform, and contain no quip-
pie nor demagogic bid for votes.
The same will not prove the case
with Mr.. Cleveland's letter of ac-
ceptance, which may be expected
to make its appearance so soon as
he has harmonized the contending
factions. His is a difficult task.
He has not only to placate Hill
and tammany, without offending
the mugwump branch of the party
which is well-nigh impossible,
since tammany demands complete
control of New York, but he must
harmonic the absolute free trade
ring of the democracy, as repre-
Sented by Watterson, with the
sectional protection ring which he
himself represents. This seems a
hopeless task. Watterson is ram
pant. He declares that the pro-
tective idea must be uprooted com
pletely, and to back him he mas
the positive declaration of the DEM
ocratic platform, secured by him
in opposition to the straddle de-
sired by Cleveland. New Eng
land states, New York and New
Jersey can not be carried on the
free trade basis, and Cleveland
knows it. The democracy can
only hope for votes in those states
on the promise of the continuance
of protection to their industries,
while removing it from the pro-
ducts of the west, which they af-
feet to call raw materials. What
ever may be the result of the eff
fort to harmonic the two factions
in the party in New York, there is
little hope that the Cleveland and
Watterson ideas of tariff reform
and tariff abolition may be pre-
vented from clashing. Cleve-
lands letter will beyond doubt re-
pudiate the democratic platform,
and the storm he thus seeks to al
lay in the east will break out
with equal violence elsewhere.
So great is the difficulty to be
overcome, that the wisdom of the
would suggest the mild
