The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-03-15

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has ap-
pointed Josiah Quincy of Massachu-
sets assistant secretary of state. Mr..
Quincy used TO be republican. After
he changed his political faith he became
a very jealous democrat. He was made
chairman of the state democratic COM
mittee. He displayed such capacity
for political engineering as is de-
veloped only in republican who has
descended through the shades of mug.
wumpery to democracy. He was a
partisan of partisans in the late cam
paign. He was attached to the head
quarters of the national democratic
committee and had charge of the demo-
cratic literary bureau. Saul of Tarsus'
zeal in prosecuting Christians, Bene-
dict Arnold's "pernicious activity"
against the patriots after the Andre in.
cident on the Hudson, had their counter
part in Mr.. Quincy's political manage
ment and campaign labors. In view of
these facts and his selection for an i'm
portant office, the New York Sun is
constrained to inquire: sin the selec.
ton of Josiah Quincy, was it public
service efficiently performed or partisan
activity that counted?"

HON. VICTOR /. SPEAR, in charge of
the statistical work of the board of ag-
riculture, has, in pursuance of his du-
ties, sent the listers blanks for taking
statistics of the dairy interest, maple
sugar and sheep industries. The num-
Der of cows and the dairy products,
quantity and kind of maple sugar,
number of sheep and quantity of wool,
are the things wanted. 1t is the pur-
pose of the board to take these statistics
yearly. This is one of the first things
the state needs-information respect
ing her leading industries. 1t is the
first requisite for intelligent work in
any plan for advancing the states ma
terial interests. The listers can con-
tribute to the success of this work by
giving careful attention to the work
the board, under the laws of the state,
has undertaken.

ROBERT A. MAXWELL of New York,
an anti-snapper, has been made fourth
assistant postmaster general, an office
for which the chairman of Vermont's
unt4rrified democracy was said to be
selected; Josiah Quincy of Massachu-
sets, mugwump and Cleveland parti-
san, has been appointed assistant sec.
rotary of state; Hon. Isaac P. Gray of
Indiana has been given the Office of
minister to Mexico, salary SIT 500. Con-
corning Mr. Gray's appointment, the
New York Sun, that seems, with SPRING
like blandness, to be shining for all,
says: 1.-The Hon. Isaac Pussy Gray
went to Chicago as a presidential pos
sibility; there he encountered the
Cleveland boom with the Hon. William
g. Whitney in command; the Hon.
Isaac came, saw, and was conquered;
he felt under the charm of Mr.. Whit
ney's magnetic presence that it was in
deed better to be sure of something
than be sorry at having nothing at all. !"
Honor to Mr.. Cleveland" beams the
Sun in view of these and similar ap-
pointments, for living up to any po-
litical ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is too harsh
a word-that may have been made in
his behalf by the Incompatible nego-
tiator and Fool Killer to whom he owes
30 muchl Let the distribution proceed =,
amid general happinessl''

ing the parade to-day, to be the cynosure

burg, the Inflated Archduke of Austria,
was shot.
The grand marshal will be seated in the
same saddle in which Macmillan so con-
stantly rode while beleaguered in
Queretaro. When the.Liberal troops were

General Lopez. Macmillan. who it was
not intended should be captured. rode out
of the city accompanied by his aids de
camp and on a little hillock adjacent 10
the city surrendered his sword, and as is
not generally remembered, to an Ameri-
can officer, Colonel Green. The saddle
and caparisonings the short-time Emperor
then used will be put to another use to-
day.
When Macmillan, with Generals
Miramon and Mejia, was shot by order OF
the court-martial he died with the words
on his lips. viva Independence! Viva

Funny scenes are not wanting, for the
small boy is humorous in his own particu-
lar way and enjoys a firework as mucn
when it is tied to a dogs tall or to the coat
tails of an unsuspecting "paterfamillas,
or to those Of a country consln en-
gagged in showing the youngsters how to
light and FIRE their crackers. Or, better
still, he loves to put his fireworks under
his fathers "stovepipe," thus achieving
three great tbings-bad smells, much noise
and destruction-all at once. Misfortunes
follow pleasures. but to the boys on Mar
ket and Mission streets swollen and
burnt cheek, the result of a cracker
thoughtlessly held close TO the face. only
gives an additional zest to the fun.
