The opening session Of the annual con.
vendon Of the Wisconsin state AgricuF
tural society was held in the assembly
chamber last evening and was wen at
tended. The program consisted Of adj
dresses by 4. G. Parkinson, president
OF the society, Gov Peck, and President
&. X Adams, enllycncd by excellent
vocal music with organ accompaniment
by Mr.. @. G. Eaton Of Columbus. The
firsl speaker was President Parkinson,
who delivered an instructive and logical
opening address.
In opening his address President
Parkinson called to mind Of what great
practical benefit 10 Wisconsin the state
Agricultural society has been since it's
organization forty years ago. In the
act Of Incorporation OF the society its
objects are declared to be ITO promote
and improve the condition Of aHicui-
ure, horticulture and the mechanical.
manufacturing and household arts.
Never once losing sight Of these pur
poses, the society has disburscd IN
premiums among the people more than
100000 and has never def1ullcd In the
payment Of It's awards During the
existence of the society a million pCo-
pie and more have visited it's annual
fairs Forty thousand from every quar-
ter Of the state and even from beyond
It's limits attended the fair last Soptrm-
Der upon q single day. The charge that
the mission Of the society is ended is
rcputed by SUCH large attendance of
those who desire both pleasure and
profit I'm 50 doing The society from the
first has been regarded MS a state iusti
tuition the child Of the state, and II
Wisconsin has done less for her state
agricultural society than any of her nd.
Joining sister states, President ParNn-
son declared that 1t Is chiefly because
the Wiscon~ins society has never until
recently felt the need Of any state help.
The speaker asserted that scarcely
any other agency has done SO much Ia

Iowa, narrowly escaped one of the
seyerest attacks of pneumonia while

during a recent blizzard. says the

occasion to drive several miles dur

warm, and inside of an hour after
his return he was threatened with a
severe case of pneumonia or lung
fever. Mr.. Blaize sent to the near

which he had often heard, and took
a number of large doses. He says

The Valkyrie, the English yacht
which is to contest for the Americas
cup with the American yacht
vigilant, has arrived safely in this
country after long and stormy
passage across the Atlantic, and will
make her first attempt at victory
early in October. If the English
Yacht gets the cup she must sail
three races out of five faster than
the Vigilant, and it is the opinion on
this side of the water that "she

on April %, 1898, amounting to

Despite the plea of Streeter's at

bond the bail was fixed at $50,ooo
and the accused was turned over to
the sheriff's keeping. He was conn

Evidence has been secured showing
that Streeter received dual salaries

another of the same amount from
Menage personally. There is some
prospect that Menage will be ex'

Asa P. Potter, under indictment
for ordering false entries and other
wise complicating the lawful status
of the Maverick Bank, has been de-
clared not guilty by the court and is
once more a free man. Faulty
statutes as bearing upon the case
at point, and the impossibility of
producing proof of the defendants
ordering false entries, are said to be
responsible for the failure of the
prosecution against Potter. The
verdict given in court on Thursday
last disposes Of all the cases against
Potter; and there are those who,
considering the verdict and looking
back upon the evident rottenness Of
of the Mavericks management, will
conclude that Justice has been once
more grossly outraged.

OUR MILITIA CRITICISED.

Capt Tutherly, the U. 5. army
officer who was detailed to inspect
and report on the National Guard OF
Vermont at its recent muster, has
performed that duty, and at least a
portion of his report is interesting
reading. He compliments the par
AIDES, reviews, guard mounting and
other features as we'll executed, on
the whole, considering that the
troops come together but once
wear and then only for five days"
and congratulatcs the state on the
possession of so fine body of men.
He comments in a decided manner
concerning the Richford company,
which he said ''marred the appear
ance Of the regiment throughout all
the exercises of the encampment"-
simply by reason of their lack of reg
ular drill and training during the
wear. Members of this company
are so generally scattered that it is
impossible to get them together foi
effective discipline, and the inspector
plainly suggests their removal from
the regiment. As to the Nationa
Guard as a body, he discovers il
them 1.-THE spirit of 81" and believe
that they can be depended upon al
case of emergency.
Criticism from competent office
in the regular army should be takel
by the members of the guard in al
appreciative spirit, whether tina
criticism be bitter or sweet IN flavor
since it must be regarded as give
only with view to enhancing tn
efficiency of the entire organization
That many faults exist in the reg
ment goes without saying; and tina

MASTERLY INACTIVITY.

Congress is making d recolu 'o'
mastery inactivity along the very
lines on which the country has look
ed for decisive and helpful action
Nearly two months have elapsed
now since President Cleveland called
congressman together for the repeal
of the silver purchasing clause, that
financial difficulties might be tighten
ed and the epoch of business dePres
sion be ended. When congress met
there was an imperative demand Tor
prompt action in behalf ofembarrass-
ed business interests. Just how incom-
nletely that demand has been met
is apparent to the veriest novice IN
political economy. The house. after
long debate, passed the repeal Dill
by a telling majority, and the measure
was committed to the tender mercies
of the senate. Here, up to date'
nothing has been accomplished save
the wearisome airing of silver and
o,t;.s;lver senatorial views, the
wrapgle being protracted beyond all
reason till the country is Disguised
at the spectacle.
There seems no immediate prospect
Of the senate's passing the repeal
hill Indeed, as the New York World
hints the outlook for that sort OF
legislation in the upper house is
dark 1t is to be believed that a
majority of the senator's, realizing
the danger which threatens, would
endorse the action of the house and
stop the purchase of silver; but these
can not bring the matter to a vote
owing to the peculiar nature OF the
senate rules and the maneuvers OF
the silver coinage advocates. The
blame for the unreasonable and try
ing delays over the repeal bill Is
laid upon the twelve or fifteen demo
cratic free coinage senators iron
the South whose stubbornness ane
devotion to their own selfish interests
are melting strongcriticism through
out the country.
The nation is not getting what i
expected to secure when congress
met-necessarv relief from hnancia
stringency, and those senator's VIII
are responsible for the delay, what
ever their political complexion, ma,
expect to hear something drop In tn
near future, for the people take note c
such performances as are now on tn
senatorial boards at Washington
1t is conceded now that compromls
is impossible. The president an
Secretary Carlisle stand firmly 70
unconditional repeal, and the soont
the senate realizes that this is wha
the people want the better for allco1
cerned.
While the senate wrangles over r
peal, the house and its committee
are discussing the federal electlc
laws, the tariff and other measure
but talk, and talk only seems to
the order of the day. Talk, howeve
will not restore business conhden
or make money easier.

During the past week the bomb of
the anarchist has made itself dis
astrously conspicuous both in Spain
and in this country-for that man
who, under the auspices of labor
union in America, seeks to destroy
life and property which does not
conform to union" rules, is no less
an anarchist than he who in
foreign country seeks revenge against
government rule by taking the life of
governments representative. The
attack upon the captain general at
Barcelona, Spain, and the outrage
upon "non-union" sailors at San

THE NORTHWESTERN ONCE MORE

An extract was made last week
from the New York's Herald's ex-
posure of the Northwestern Guaran-
ty Loan bubble. This is the Her
AIDS pen picture of Mr.. Streeter;
One of the important changes in the
company took place in 1889, when Will
liam S. Streeter became connected with
it. Mr. Streeter was born in East Burke,
Vt. He entered bank there and subse
quently removed to st. Johnsbury, VT,
where he was made teller and afterward
cashier of the Merchants National Bank
of the town. He was prominent in the
church and Sunday school and stood
high in the estimation of the good peo-
pie of that place. Mr.. Streeter is tall,
slender man with soft voice, sweet
smile and smooth suave way. He suf-
fers from i'll health. 1t was i'll health
which compelled him to leave st. Johns
bury. In the fall of 1888 he went to
Denver. Then, through the influence of
Mr.. H. E. Fletcher, formerly ofSt. Johns
bury, he becam connected with the
Northwestern Guaranty Loan Company.
1t was understood at that time that he
was to have an outside position; that
his business was to be principally in
placing loans. In the fall of 1889 Mr.
Streeter appears as one of the vice presi
dents of the company and inside year
after that he was the most powerful
man in it next to Menage.
Prior to Mr.. Streeter's connection with
the company the paid up stock hat
been increased to $50O,000, In 1885
the paid up stock was increased to 81,
100000 and later to $1,250,000 Thi
increase of $750,00O was all placed b,
Mr.. Streeter, principally among his OLE
friends in Vermont. He had no difficult,
in placing this stock at the rate of $50
900 worth day whenever it was foun'
necessary to raise funds. In addition, h
established hundreds of agencies for tn
disposal of notes and securities dealt in b
the company.
Concerning Vermont's hnancialir
terest in the company the Heral
says:
The greatest sufferers, however, are
Vermont. The little town of st. John:
+ bury, VT, alone holds $250,000 wort
of the company's bad paper and wortl
less stock. In Vermont $500 wort
t was placed, nearly all oft by Mr.. Stree
{ er.
a This last statement is an exagger
+ alton. The CALIFORNIAN is able t
6 announce that not more than SIZE
q 900 of the stock was owned in S
+ Johnsbury and about $780,
q more was held up and down tt
n Passumpsic valley. Of the who
q states interest in the company v
:. are unable to state, but it is not lib
a. ly that it was over 100000, viii

II lust a half million too much.

The New England Homestead thus
summarizes the crops of 1893

Cotton is going to be short, estimated
at to T million bales, against 9,OOO,-
600 last year, which probably means 1,S; an +:
advance in cottonseed meal. Wheat is
estimated at 375 to 425 millions,
against 612 600, 900 bushels last season.
Oats are Just about an average crop;
barley, rye, and buckwheat are arr, tar,
Corn is the lightest in years, the crop
being estimated at 1850 to 1900 million
bushels against 1928, 100000 last sea
son and over 1000 million bushels in
1891. The potato crop is as small as
last year. apples are light, hops fair but
short abroad, and tobacco light.
