Oowardly Advice.

s Murat Halstead has written a letter to
show how the Repub! ican party may re-
turn to power in 1896: His prescription
sinbrief is to repudlate the force bill
leaving the negro in the South to get
along as best he can, and to quit flirting
with prohibition, adopting the Ohio pol
icy of taxing the saloons instead Of eth
3er prohibition or high license.
Mr.. Halstead's advice upon the liquor
question IS well enough. The Repubi
can party has no business with prohibi-
ton. It was ot.organized as a prohibi-
ton party, and wherever it has gone
out of its way to indolse prohibition in
the hope Of gaining some popularity, it
has lost ground, as witness Iowa. The
taxation of the saloons IS the properpol-
icy for all parties to pursue, as it is the
only practical and logical manner Of
dealing with the liquor traffic.
But MI. Halstead's advice for the Re-
publican party to abandon the negro is
cowardly. It is in line with the recent
diatribe OF ex-senator ingalls, bewailing
theAadoption Of the fifteenth amendment
and advising the deportation Of the ne
groes in order to relieve the Republican
<>f Sfc Ia *,
ingalls, advice would lie more humane
than Mr.. Halstead's, if it were at all
practicable, but as it is not, it amounts
to about the same thing. It means that
the Republican leaders have got tired OF
carrying the negro and want to unload
him.
Negro suffrage has undoubtedly pro-
ven failure in the South. It was a
mistake for the"Repnblicans to force it
upon that section, for it increased the
representation of the South in congress
and in the electoral college. md the
Southern whites have swung this in
creased representation as a club to beat
out the brains of the Republican party.
It has given the South immense advan-
tagc in national contests. But as the Re-
publican party adopted the Southern ne
gro as its ward in the hope of reaping
advantage from him, The Daily News
cannot see how it can abandon him with
honor simply because the hoped-fo adj
vantage was not realized. The party
had better go down to defeat with colors
flying and standing to its guns, than to
save itself by executing the cowardly
maneuver advised by Halstead.-St. Paul

The Party Versus it's Pledges.

eve denouncc the Republican legisla-
ton known as the Sherman act of 1890
as a cowar}ly lnakeslift, fraught with
possibilities Of danger in. the future
which sheuli make all Of its supporters
as we'll as it's author anxious for its
speedy repeal
This is the pledge Of the Democratic
party written in its national platform at
Chicago ssthan a year ago-the pledge
Oh which it went to the people and was
placed IN possession of the executive and
both Legislative branches Of the federal
government. And now the Democratic
press of the country is calling upon the
Republican members of congress to full
fill the pledge of ihcDemocratic platform
Why does not the Democratic party also
call upon Republican congressman to re-
peal the Mckinley act and carry out the
other pledges of the Democratic plat
form?
Fol weeks the New York Democratic
organs, the World and Times, have 5een
securing the country to get Democratic
congressman to say that they would full
fill the currency pledge Of the platform
on which they were elected. These or
gans find altogether 221 members of the
coming congress who are Democrats
And how many of these 221 Democratic
congressman are found who will stand by
the platform of their party? Exactly 88
Against the 50 Democratic congressman
who stand on the party platform there are
1873 who repudiate the Democratic plat.
form and defy the administration and it,
policy. And so the Democratic admins.
tration is compelled to rely upon Re.
publican congressman to carry out its
financial policy.
The Democrats in the late congress re-
pudiated the party platform as t., the re-
peal of both the Sherman silver act and
the Mckinley tariff act. The overwhelm-
ing Democratic majority in the lower
house made no attempt to carry out its
pledge to repeal the Mckinley act, and
voted against the movement to repeal
the Sherman act by q heavy majority,
This they follow up By refusing to carry
out the psrty's pledg riding thesher.

/ rebuke the traitor congressman. Instead
Of that, we find the party press Wiinkiins

farming purposes, very nearly represent
what there are in the State, and would
not seem to be sufficient to occasion any
considerable anxiety or to give rise to
the fear that the farming land of the
State is to be abandoned.
The report shows that $S13,5OO have
been invested in new industries and in
enlarging plants already in operation.
Several large additions are reported as
having been made of which the cost was
unknown, and therefore, not included in
the figures given. The new industries
industries reported are giving employ
ment to LOO persons. AS compared
with the report for 1891, it appears that
S72, 800 more capital has been invested,
also that the additional help employed
is l, 100 persons as against 2,1S7 persons
for 1S91-a less number by 1,097. The
The distribution of these new industries
by counties is as follows:

1t will be noted that sales have in
creased in nine counties, diminished in
four and remained the same in one.
The sales of unoccupied farms have
been as follows in the several counties:
Addison, 2; Bennington, 6; Caledonia,
81; Essex, 4; Lamoille. O.; Orange, 30;
Orleans, IL; Rutland, o; Washington, %
Windam, Al; Windsor, %. The total
number of farms reported as without
tenants is 37G. OF this number, Addison

mia, 40; Essex, I; Lamoille, Z; Orange,
u; Orleans, %; Rutland, IS; Washing
ton, 20; Windham, 81; Windsor, So.
Chittendeu, Grand Isle and Franklin
counties report no unoccupied farms.
Many of the farms reported as without
tenants are so from the fact that ten
ant has recently moved away, and no
one has beea found to fill the place.
Quite a number of farms are tenantless
because of the settlement of an estate.
OF 200 farms of which descriptions have
been recently received. As have been un-
occupied year or less. This goes to
show that there are likely to be certain
times when farms will be temporarily
without tenants and yet these farms may
not properly belong to what is generally
known as the class of unoccupied farms.
Our inquiries in connection with this
class of property have not been extended
to tracts of land where farm buildings
have once been, but have passed out of
the list Of farming lands years ago and
are now returning to their original and
proper use, the growing Of forest trees.

vERMONT'S INDUSTRIAL RECORD
FOR 1892.


Yermonts record as here presented
is compiled entirely from reports from
the town clerks of the several towns. OF
the total numher, 234 towns arc horo 70
ported. OF the towns failing to report,
all except one were small towus from
which there was likely to be little or
nothing to report. And though a COM
plete report would, doubtless, have in
creased some of the figures round, they
may be considered, think, fairly com
plete and accurate.
Thanks are due the town clerks who
have so cheerfully assisted, and l wish
to say that nearly all the reports received
gave good evidence of care in their prep
aration.
The total number of farms sold in 1892
is 1,914. OF this number, 1872 were pre-
viously unoccupied. AS compared with
1891, there has been an increase of $50
farm sales. The following table shows
the number of sales in each county, and

in 1891 are also given

Interesting Changes Taking Place in High
Ranks of the Army.
Brighten. Robert Williams, the Adjutant-
General of the United States Army, was 62
years of age Nov 5, and his retirement from
active service took place. Although a VIr-
ginian, Gen. Williams remained loyal during
the war, and was confidential assistant to
Secretary Stanton for several years. He COM
manded the LIST Mass Cav. during the rebellion,
and did gallant service in Indian campaigns.
Gen. Williams has served in the Adjutaut-
Generals Department for many years, rising
to the chief position, to which he WAS appointed
in 1892. on the retirement of Gen. kelton.
Gen. Williams has always had the good of the
enlisted men at heart and was endeared to
them through his efforts in their behalf.
Col. q. ID. Ruggles has been appointed Gen.
WiIliams's successor. Col. Ruggles entered the
Military Academy from his native State of New
York in 1851, and was appointed to the infantry
on grad uation four years later. When the war
broke out he was appointed a First Lieutenant,
anh in the Summer of 1861 he was appointed
Captain in the ACCOMPLISHMENTS Depart
meut, where be has since remained, reaching
his present grade of Colonel June z, 1889.
Besides the retirement of Gen. Williams.
there is another to take place soon of equal
interest, that of Gen. William z. Carlin, of the
line. Oh the 24th instant.
The candidates for the vacancy caused by
Gen. Carlin's retirement are far more numerous
than those for the Adjutant- Generalship. The
six officers highest i'll rank are Colonies of in
fantry-Snafter of the lst; Otis. OF the Goth
Blunt, of the 10TH Swaiue. of the Odd; Mer-
riam, of the 7th. and Bliss, of the Path.
OF these Col. Blunt retires in 1894 Col.
Swane in 1895, Coils. Skater and Bliss in 1899,
Col. Merriam in 1901, and Col. Otis in 1902.
Following these officers in relative rank is Col.
Forsyth, of the cavalry, who retircs in 1898.
Col. Closson, 9TH Art. is the ranking artillery
officer who retires in 1885, lie is, however,
No. IA on the relative list of regimental com-
manders.
To exhaust the possibilities for this promo
ton, it would tie necessary to name the 40 eli
gble Colonies of the line. 1t is generally
accepted that the appointment will be given to
one of those mentioned above. The selection
will not be made until the vacancy occurs

Affre in the Ocean.

The City of Alexandria. belonging to the
New York and Cuba Steamship Co., caught fire
last week when within 25 miles Of Havana
and burned to the waters edge, the passengers
and crew being obliged to take to the small
boats to escape. Ali of the boats launched sue
ceeded in reaching land safely, but it is re-
ported that there were at least IS people who
became so frightened that they jumped over
board and were drowned. The fire gained
such Roadway that the Captain saw it would
be impossible to save the vessel. and orders were
given to abandon the ship. The steamer had
400 hogsheads of rum on board, and this, when
it caught fire, caused immense masses of flame
to ascend from the hatchwsys, the matches
having been blown off.
The City of Alexandria was one of the fastest
and largest of the American ships employed in
the West India trade. The vessel was an iron
screw steamer Of 2, 450 tons burthen. 307 feet
long, SO feet five inches beam and &c feet three
inches depth of hold. and was built in 1879 by
john Roach & Son at Chester. Pa. The engines
were of the compound type, the cylinders
measuring az by 70 and ~ by 81.
