The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-04-12

DEACON ID. M. CAMP of Newport,
ex-editor Of the ErpreSs, writes the
Free Press that he cannot join the
press excursion to the Worlds Fair
because it is proposed to start Saturday
night and spend Sunday in travel and
in sightseeing at Niagara Falls. 1t is
allie ged in this matter that Deacon
Camp is not consistent; that he has not
always followed the example of Presi-
dent Harrison, to which he refers in
proper terms of approval; that he has
on pinch travelled on Sunday trains
when Saturday night has overtaken
him away from home and the bosom of
his family. But possibly the real facts
in his case are not germane to the
question at issue in the matter of the
press excursion, and, if known, would
not sustain the charge of inconsistency
Mr.. Camp is very consistent and very
conscientious man.

Miss BEss MITCHELL, bright young
newspaper woman of Chicago, has DEM
onstrated the perfection of the arrange
ments for travel on this continent by
completing a tour of some $4,000 miles,
during which she did not set foot upon
the ground. The tour was undertaken
to vindicate the boast of some railway
managers during meeting at Chicago
at which were present some representa-
tives of foreign roads, and the subject
of the comparative perfection of rail-
way arrangements was discussed. The
tour embraced the lines extending
from the extreme Northwest south to
the City of Mexico, and covered the
country from east to west, beginning
and ending in Chicago. The American
girl is ready for any demonstration of
American enterprise.

COTTON BUSINESS GOOD.
Georgia and South Carolina Mills
in Full Blast,

AUGUSTA, Ca. Dec. %. -The ChrOn-
al will say edito:ially tomorrow: ''In
a year Of uneXampled depression in cot
ton manufacturing in the Eastern
states the mills of Georgia and South
Carolina have been running on full
time. With climate advantages,
cheap water power and raw ma
terial at first cost. all large
factories have made money and
paid dividends. Mills in and around
Augusta made splendid showing for
the year just closing. The Augusta
factory, capital 100000, paid per cent
dividends; Enterprise Manufacturing
company. capital $4,000. 6 per cent;
Sibley Manufacturing company, $1,000
600 capital. 6 per cent; King Manu-
6 per cent: Graniteville Manufacture
ing company, $500, 900, 10 per cent; Lang
try Manufacturing company increased
It's capital during the year from $500, 200
to 1000, and will pay a semi-annual
dividend of per cent on increased cap
ital. The dividends of these mills show
that the South is the most inviting field
for cotton goods, and indications
are that Ill the near future
new factories will be started
in this section. In 1880 the South con.
sumed 100000 bales of cotton. In 1893
the Southern mills consumed 6OO,O0
bales. There could be no stronger evil
dence of the South's superiority over
the North III its advantages for cotton
manufacturing than during the past
year. Northern mills have been Shut
down, while mills in the South have
been running OH full time. and have
paid good dividends."

THE S WEDEs.
The Men and Women of swede

The Men and Women of Sweden
Are Big, Strong and Vigorous.
Cornhill Magazine.
What enormous fellows and what
,eviathan persons some of those Swedish
men and women are! Nowhere will
you see such noble specimens of adul
humanity as in Stockholm's streets.
The feature seems to pervade all classes,
though lis not least striking among
the no bilty. Six feet is common
height for man here, and really do
not believe L eXaggerate in saying that
men of six feet three or four inches are
as abundant is Stockholm as men of six
feet with us.
The tallneSs of the women is Just as
noteworthy. You remark it less, how
ever, because they are so we'll proper
toned. They say it is easy to tell by
the size of the boots outside the doors
which rooms of hotel are occupied by
the Swedish fair. This is very endur.
able hit at the Swedish ladies. Though
they do wear SKIES or sevenS in shoe
leather, no sculptor woul d find fault
with them on professional grounds.
Moreover, they have most winsome
compilations, and, of course, blue eyes
are nowhere more intensely blue than
here.
1t is comforting to know q speak on
the evidence of one of the -pensionaires)
that Swedish maidens have great adj
mira ton for English bachelors. They
read French novels, but they believe In
English bridegrooms The blood bond
still EXISTS, suppose, between them
and us.

THE UNsPEAkABLE TURK

How the Moslem Missionary I'M
presses People in New York.
Rochester Post-Express.
Mr.. Webb, the apostle of Islamism in
this country. seems to meet with much
favor, and it has been almost the fashion
in Rochester to sit at his feet and
imagine that one was hearing some
thing new and holy. There are, of
course. many delusions prevalent in
ChrlStendOm about Mohammed and his
creed, and it is good to get rid of them,
but there are certain broad facts in re-
gard to it that should not be set aside
with the foolish prejudices. AS a
religion, 1t is sensual more than spirit
ual: it has lent itself to the degradation
of women: it has been unfortunate in
that it was prOpagated by the sword.
and that 1t has been identified with the
tiercest Ignorance and bigotry. 1t was
from the very beginning made the eX-
cnse for conquest; and it has been
always political creed, and in so far
everything gentle and divine in it was
perverted to the service of the
worst passions of humanity. Judging
Moslemism simply as manifested
through Moslems and incapable of
swaying them for good, it has been one
OF the great curses OF the world.
Wherever it has gone, destruction fol-
lowed. 1t has left Egypt and Asia
Minor in ruins, with nothing but the
fragments of the old civilization scat
tered here and there. 1t befouled and
defled Greece and Southwestern Eu-
rope, land 1t sits like an incubus on one of
the great distributing commercial GEN.
tiers of the earth-the Bosphorus. In a
word, the unspeakable Turk has been
an unsDeakable nuisance. The religion
is not responsible, of course, for alrthis
deviltry, but it is failure because it
has been incapable of bringing about
development among those who profess
1t. We are at one with the Rochester
woman who remarked: "Well, have
gone to hear a lecture on occultism, and
Ihave listened to an apostle of Islamism;
and 1 guess L will manage to rough it a
little longer ON Christianity"

Tricks on Travellers.

Kate Fields Washington,
l wanted one day to buy guide book
of Washington to keep for the use of
my visiting friends. and protested as
the storekeeper handed me out two or
three with rainboW-hued colors.
Haven't you so netting that isn't
bright led or green or Yellow" | in
quired. This Will be used sometimes
by lady, and it may not match her
costume"
The storekeeper smiled. 81 don't
know what you can do said he except
to tear the covers off. All we have are
in those bright colorS, and | doubt if
there are any sober-lOoking ones pub
liShed."
"Why not?" l asked.
fidentlally-"I suspect there is an ar
rangement between the guide-book
makers and the professional guides
here in Washington. A guide would
waste good deal of his time making
advances to regular residents unless
he had something to distinguish
strangers by. There are good
many old citizens, you know, who
look about them in public places like
curiosity just as there are a
good many utter strangers who try to
affect the air of residents. When the
guides take i'll a stroliing person with
their eyes and catch glimpse of one of
these bright.colored books clasped in
his hand or sticking out of his pocket
they say, There's our gamev and 20 for
him"
doubted this statement just enough
to make me curious to test its truth.
So, CHANGING to be in the capitol that
day, walked about casually looking at
things, but without being addressed by
any guide. Then tore the wrapper off
my friends book and placed it in my
pocket with little scarlet corner peep
ing out. Inside of minute L had a
guide on either side of me with an offer
to show the whole building for 81.
The trick evidently works.

MARKET HOUSE WANTED.
Parties WANT TO LEASE 1T FOB TEN
YEARS.
A LARGE RENTAL OFFERED.

Parties Desire to Rent the Prop
erty for Ten Years, Paying
$4,000 Year First Two
Years, and $4,000 Year Re-
mainder of Term - Would
Lower First Floor.
The committee on public buildings
from the board of aldermen held
meeting yesterday afternoon, and dis
cuSsed the proposition to lease the
market house for term of ten years.
II. A. Campbell, real estate dealer
with offices in the chamber of commerce
building, said that he represented par
ties who were anxious to lease the
basement and first floor of the market
house for term of ten years. The
parties were willing to pay $4,000 per
year for the first two years. and $4,000
for the other eight. Asked as to who
the parties were, and what business
they intended to use the building for,
Mr.. Campbell said he would rather not
say. They were perfectly responsible,
and the business to be conducted would
not be Objectionable. In case the coun-
Gil should decide to lease the building,
Mr.. Campbell said something like S1O,-
600 would be spent in lowering the first
floor level with the street and in making
other needed changes. All this would
be stood by the company. The lease
and the occupancy OF the building, Mr..
Campbell thought, would greatly en-
nance the value of the property in case
the city should desire to sell it at some
future date.
Aid. Copeland was not in favor
of leasing the building for ten
years, claiming that before the eXpira-
ton Of the lease the city would either
want to use the building or sell it and
purchase elsew here for an auditorium
or library. Mr.. Campbell said the parties
he represented would not care to take
leaSs for any shorter time than ten years
owing to the expense which would be
necessary to place the building in a
suitable condition. AID. Hickman was
inclined to think a five years lease
would be preferable for the best inter-
ests of the city. After some further
discussion it was decided 10 refer the
matter back with the recommendation
thai joint committee of four from each
body be appointed to act with the COM
mittees on public buildings on the prop
position.

ago great bird of ill omen carried its
prey to the head waters of the river and
polluted its source. This gave it the
name which it has to this day, land which
i'll Indian language means "stinking

Indians living along the banks drank of
the water and died, only one living to
tell the tale to the neighboring tribes.

of years, and during all that time the
river has been stunned as something

Assemblyman Johnson and several
other members of the council who at
tended the caucus Friday night met
yesterday afternoon at the city hall.
Johnson, as president Of the joint
bodies. explained that he had been re-
Quested by Building Inspector Morris
to defer the call for a meeting of the
council to elect a building ms pector
This request was made, Mr.. johnson
said, owing 10 the absence of Aid.
Warren and Conley from the city, and
the statement that these gentlemen
would not be home until after the first
meeting i'll January. Mr.. Johnson said
that he had no authority to postpone
the calling of the joint bodies even if
he felt so inclined. Ass emblyman
DOran thought the best way, if
the two aldermen mentioned could not
be present at the time of the election,
was to record them as voting for G. A.
+. Morris for building inspector. An
other of the Republican city fathers
who was present said he could see
nothing 10 be gained by a postpone
merit of the election. There were only
five Democratic votes in the council,
and even if this number and the two
Republicans who stayed out of the eau
Gus should vote for Mr.. Morris that gen.
gleman could not secure enough votes
to elect him. The hope entertained by
Mr.. Morris that any of the thirteen
members who attended the caucus
would bolt the nomination was, he
said, a torlorn one. The decision ar
rived at by those who were seen yes
terday was that the election would take
place on the evening of Jan. and at
the same meeting the official printer of
the city for the coming year will be
selected.
