STocKs.-The course of the stock market
to-day was erratic in the extreme, owing
to the publication of Secretary Carlisle's
statement and the conflicting rumOrs from
Washington in regard to the probable f.
nancial policy Of the administration. The
purchase Of 10000 shares more or less by
London saved the market from bad break
in the early trading and in fact led to
an advance in the closing figures OF yester-
day Of Ila1 per cent, but the bears prompt
" renewed their attack when they found
the gold engagements would be heavier
than expected, and that tbe.banks and 9TH

these conditions under the leadership or the

rough granite, nothing. Considering
the fact of the wide difference in the
wages of granite cutters in Scotland
and in America, and the fact that gran
lie is taken by vessels as ballast and the
freight is merely nominal, is not the
Reformer, in its statements, presuming
rather recklessly on the ignorance of
its readers?
Vermont farmers, lumbermen, manu-
facturers and quarrymen have at home
a peerless market. II is proposed now
to turn the foreigner loose into this
market. Foreign goods and products
will drive out the American, extinguish
his business, or make him the compet-
itor beyond the seas of every people on
the earth. Was ever greater folly or
a more ruthless or culpable proposition
devised in the name of craftsmanship,
or solemnly formulated for legal enact
ment?

The Waterman for 1894.

The reasons for the changes made in THE
WATERMAN, January 1. 1893, have been
fully justified by results The enlargement
of the paper has given space for an extern
sion of the state and local news service and for
the adoption of other improvements which
had long been desired. With the begin
ming of the fulfllment of the plans of the
publishers, those who have read the WATCH
MAN during the past year are familiar.
The improvements made are an earnest of
those that will be undertaken. The fact
that the new WATcHMAN has received the
popular endorsement is attested by the adj
dition of a thousand new names to its sub
scription list, by the extension of its circu-
lation into new fields, and the unqualified
expressions of satisfaction that have come
voluntarily from its old friends and support
ers in all parts of the state and particularly
from Washington county and throughout
the region Of central Vermont.

great satisfaction to the general reader, as
well as to the people of the communities
more Immediately Interested, is the special
write-ups of the thriving localities within
These have disclosed the details of the life
and business of thrifty communities some-
what removed from the lines Of railways
and public observation. but which are the
seats of quiet but busy life and the real
sources of the states material prosperity and
her moral greatness. This scheme of discov-
ering Vermont to Vermonters will be con-
tinued and extended; the state and local
news service will be increasingly developed
and perfected, and the papers devotion to
Vermont and Vermont interests and in stitu-
tions exemplifed in every way that enter
prise can suggest.
THE WATcHMAN's various departments,
Agricultural, Household, and others, will
be maintained with such improvements as
experience shall suggest.
The coming year is the year of the state
election and the meeting of the legislature,
and will be- therefore, one of unusual interest
to the citizens of the state. The WATCH
MAN, published at the state capital, has
opportunities for publishing political news,
and particularly news connected with the
session of the legislature, not possessed by
journals less favorably situated. You aoW

shown, not only by tariff bill framed
by committee composed chiefly of
Confederate statesmen hostile to north
ern industry, but also by bold propo-
sition in congress to remove the bar
of disloyalty and loot the national treas.
ury by the payment of Confederate
claims for property lost during the war.
This monstrous proposition is embodied
in bill reported by the judiciary
committee of the house, reviving the
captured and abandoned property act of
1868, and removing the bar of disloy-
atty by which the benefits of the act
were confined to the loyal people of
South. The bill provides specifically
that evidence of disloyalty shall not be
a bar to favorable action on claims
prosecuted under it. Should the bill
become law, it is estimated that the
amount that might be recovered would
pass far beyond the limits of hundreds
of millions of dollars and enter the re-
gions of billions. This bill has been
reported by the judiciary committee of
the house, and it is noted that no bill
which has been favorably acted upon
by any committee of congress since
the democrats obtained control of the
government has created such undis-
guised establishment as this. Whether
the bill passes or not, the attempt to
enact law of this character shows how
well founded has been the apprehension
of the extremes to which democratic
majority would rush in administering
the estate of the dead Confederacy-an
apprehension that has been cried down
as matter of bloody-shirt politics.

Starving in Midst of Plenty.

II is estimated that the number of unem-
ployed men in Chicago is in excess of H.
600, and so great has their suffering become
that committee of one hundred represen-
tatives of the Illinois Conference of Chart
ties has been appointed to raise charity
fund of $1,000,000 to relieve the pressing
wants of the deserving poor. Editor Stead
says If the ministers and millionaires were
turned out into the streets for one night
the money would be forthcoming at once.
w. p. Rend of the citizens committee as
serted that such a calamity had never Wis
tied Chicago before. The city's elevators
are bursting with supplies, he said, and yet
people are starving for the want OF food.
The sentiment is strong in favor of getting
the city authorities to provide work
for as many of the unemployed as
possible. BY actual count, ], JIG men sought
shelter in the city hall Tuesday night of
last week and as many more were slowed
away on stone floors last Saturday night.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND in his an
nual message gives striking example
OF the economy practiced in the matter
of the distribution of seeds by the GOV
eminent. Out of an appropriation of
S135 900 for this purpose, $66,549 was
expended for seeds, and the remainder
or $6S,45l-in putting up and dis
tributing. That is to say, the cost of
putting up aud distributing was more
than one hundred per cent of the cost
OF the seeds. In the earlier days of
this business, the cost of distribution
was only about ten per cent, and that
was reasonable. Pumpkin and posy
seeds come high under the reign of the
democratic C@ ,ar.

AS piece of vivid and truthful char
acterization, the following, from the
Hardwick Gazette, is not to be excelled
What does the democratic party of
Vermont or the nation offer any Young

an opportunity to identify himself with

to divest himself of his self-respect and
be jeered at; an opportunity to indorse
everything wild, fanatical and danger

to be carried out and would be dishon-
orable and revolutionary if they were.

The fatal character of the Wilson
tariff measure, in its relation to Ver-
mont's interests, is intensified by the
circumstance that two great lines of
railway, entering the state from the
heart OF the Dominion, one at the north
west, the other near the northeast cor
ner OF the state, traverse the entire
length OF the state, the one on the east,
the other on the west side. Along
these commercial highways the pro.
ducts of the Dominion can be carried
to every hamlet and business center in
the state. Canadian products would be
massed on the border for an invasion
OF the state and the markets to the
south as soon as the new act should
become operative, very much as the
Oklahoma boomers were massed on the
confines of the promised land awaiting
the hour to enter and occupy. Every
New England farmer has common
cause with his Vermont co-laborer
against this attempt to make his farm
graveyard. But the Vermonter will
be hit first and the hardest.

Fined a Dead Man.

Down in southwestern Texas, just
about midway between Houston in the
east and FL Paso in the west, and very
near to the Rio Grande, the Southern
Pacific railway has built over the Pecos
river the highest bridge in the United
States. Just before this bridge was fin
ished one of the workmen fell from it
and was of course killed.
The county judge was brought from
Langtry, the town nearest to the bridge,
to hold a "crowner's quest" The judge
arrived with a great concourse of people,
all anxious to serve on the jury. Pro-
ceedings were begun by examining the
body of the dead man. Upon this were
found a loaded revolver and $40 in cash.
Perceiving this, the judge said:
"There amt nothing to do about this
case, gentlemen of the jury. The mans
dead, and it's perfectly plain how he
met his death. But what I want to know
is, what was he doing with that gun?
That's against the laws of Texas. He amt
here to explain, but because man takes
it into his head to put on wings and
mount to the skies is no reason why the

a Powerful Antiseptic.

Extensive researches made upon cor
rosive sublimate by DR.. McClintock of
London show though the substance is not
q valuable germicide-germs withstand
ing its action for some time-it proves
to possess, of all substances, the greatest
antiseptic power, so that germ treated
with the article, unless perchance it gets
into the blood or is exposed to very ex-
ceptional conditions, is powerless to
grow-that is, it is probable that spore
of subtilis or anthrax treated with subli-
mate, in 1000, and then thrown on the
soil or into water, will not germinate,
owing to the fact that the capsule of
sublimate surrounding it is not removed.
1t is found that corrosive sublimate
forms with cellulose, as cloth, filter pa
per, etc., with silk, with albuminous
bodies, with some part of bacteria, prob
ably the envelope, chemical compound
that cannot be removed with any amount
of washing in water. Thus sublimate
when acting on germ forms capsule
around it that protects the germ for a
time from the further action of the sub
Innate and in turn forms an impenetra-
BILE barrier to the growth of the organism
unless removed. This barrier may bere-
moved with salines.

A Sewer Gas DESTROYER,

Some Of the English towns and cities
have introduced device for ventilating
sewers-a Bunsen gas burner operating
to heat to high temperature series of
cast iron cones over the surfaces of
which the sewer gases have to pass on
their way out to the atmosphere, which
by such contact are entirely destroyed.
In order to obviate all danger of explo-
sion caused by leakage, this new safety
furnace consists of series of cylindric-
al rings or segments, each mechanical
ly fitted. An intermediate ring divides
the combustion chamber from the verti-
cal air passages formed between the in
ner and outer ring of the furnace. The
heat of the furnace is conveyed to the
outer ring by means of thick cast iron
webs that form tiers of air channels
through which the uprising sewer air
passes, and the burner is supplied with
air taken from the outside of the "de-
structor column. New York Sun.

NUMBER 81.
The Poison of tho Cobra.

The bite of the terrible cobra of India
Is looked upon as meaning certain death.
II is not surprising that experiments to
determine the nature Of this awful
poison should attract wide attention
when they are made in n scientific man
ner emitting their results to be accepted
with confidence. Such experiments have
recently been conducted by Mr.. A. A.
Kanthack. The venom was obtained
by pressing the heads of living cobras,
by which nerve trying operation the
deadly fluid was squeezed out of the
fangs.
The fluid dries very quickly and leaves
yellow substance resembling gum
arabic or the dried albumen of egg, which
is easily pulverized. The activity of the
poison is destroyed by prolonged boiling,
concentrated solution Of 1t withstand
ing the effects of boiling for an hour or
two before entirely losing its poisonous
action. A weak solution could be rem
dered innocuous by being boiled from 20
minutes to half an hour.
But of course this can give no comfort
to any victim of cobra bite, since the
venom, once injected into his blood,
could by no possibility be subjected to
such process of boiling.
Ammonia and chlorine water also
proved capable of destroying the poison
if applied to it for considerable time
in strong solutions, and carbolic acid con-
siderably delayed its poisonous action.
Some hope had been raised that doses
of strychnia might prove a means Of
cure, but the experiments showed that
there was no foundation for this hope.
So far, then, cure for the bite Of the
cobra remains to be discovered

A Mean Trick.

A lawyer defending q promissory note
went to lunch, leaving his books and ci-
tations on the table in the courtroom.
The opposing counsel sneaked back into
the room and changed the places of all
his bookmarks. In the afternoon the
lawyer, taking up his books, referred the
court to his authorities. His lordship
noted every volume and page carefully
and took the case under consideration.
In rendering his opinion he said:
81 was inclined after hearing argu-
ment of counsel for defendant to nom
suit plaintiff, but find, after referring
to the authorities quoted by counsel,
none of them bear on this case, and l
am led to think that the gentleman has
been willfully trying to insult the court.
He has referred me to an action of an
Irishman who sued the proprietor of a
monkey for damages for biting him to q
case of arson, one of burglary, two Of
petty larceny and three divorce cases,
none Of which bears on an action to re-
cover on promissory note. Perhaps
the grossest insult to the court is refer
ring to 'Duckworth versus Boozyman,
an action charging defendant with
breach Of promise. Judgment for plain
tiff with costs"
The lawyer never knew what the mat
ter was and to this day thinks the judge
was out Of his smind.-Pearson' Weekly.
