Compliments to the Semi-WeOkIy
Banner.

The way our proposal for semi
weekly issue has beer -eGeived is quite
flattering to the ente4 prise. Early Sat-
urday morning extra advertising came
in unsolicited, and a great number of
good words have been spoken in support
of the progressive plan. To each of
those who have thus expressed an
opinion our thanks are due, as we'll as to
the reception given our enterprise by the
press. We copy few of the press say
ings:
The Bennington BANNER, which has
been issued as weekly, will hereafter,
for time at least, appear semi-weekly,
being Published on Tuesdays and fri
days. 1t deserves to be success and
speaks well for the enterprise of Messrs.
Pierce & Co.-Sunday Budget.
This is time of newspaper changes
in the state The most important thing
is the changing of the Bennington BAN
EER from a weekly to a semi-weekly.
That is, it win issue four pages twice in
stead of eight pages once week, with
the price unchanged. Then the Norris
Vile News has joined the procession and
changed from four big to eight smaller
pages. And T. H. Hoskins of Newport
has turned from the bucolic pages of
the Montpelier Watchman and become
agricultural editor of the Farmers Ad-
vocate. 1t will be harder than ever to
guess where this sheet is published now
that it is edited in Newport as we'll as
dated at st. Albans and printed at Bur
ington.-Rutland Herald.
The Bennington BANNER, which is
one of our most readable Vermont ex-
changes, announces that it will hereafter
appear as semi-weekly instead of a
weekly newspaper, and it gives num-
Der of interesting and seemingly suffi-
cient reasons for the change. 1t is pos
sible that the local semi-weekly journal
may be made a success, and it may be
that new field will shortly be opened
up for newspaper which appears twice
each week in town where there is no
daily newspaper, but it is noteworthy
fact that most of the great newspapers
which formerly published daily, weekly
and semi-weekly editions have sus-
pended their semi-weekly editions, con-
tiDuing the daily and weekly. If Ben
nington were a western boom town such
as existed by the hundreds several years

Inquiries were addressed to the own
erns of the "List of Unvccupied Farms"
issued by the Board of Agriculture in
May, 1898, and from the replies received,
it appears that, of the 10 farms de-
scribed in the list, 3S have been sold, 7
have been withdrawn from the market
8 are offered at a lower price than last
year, and 5 are held at an advanced
price. Inquiries were also made of all
the town clerks and the owners of the
advertised farms as to the value of real
estate in their localities at the present
time, as compared with one and two
years ago. One hundred and eighty
nine answers were returned to this in
quiry, of which 116 gave the value as un-
changed, 40 that it was higher, and "a
that it was lower. This difference in
opinion, quite likely, is due to the differ
ence in the standpoint of the observer,
and is likely to be fairly correct esti-
mate on the subject for the different To-
calities.
OF the farms advertised by the Board,
20 owners reported that they had had no
inquiry for their property. All of the
others had received one or more letters
from the advertising, and total of 1926
inquiries had been received. Of the to-
tai number of unoccupied farms sold
during the year, the distribution in the
several counties is as follows:

ago, it would have one or two half
starved dailies, but at the present time
and with the excellent daily press of
Troy and Albany In near proximity, the
Bennington field is not inviting for a
daily venture. 1t is natural that the
people of Bennington should want their
local news oftener than once a week,
and as there is no more frequent me-
dium than the semi-weekly, the chances
are that the new venture will be a sue
cess. At any rate the subscribers ought
not to complain, as the four-page semi
weekly will be furnished tor the same
price as has been charged for the weekly.
The BANNER has been an excellent local
newspaper, and the Messrs. Pierce and
Stillson will have the best wishes of the
fraternity throughout the state for the
increasing prosperity of the BANNER
with its more frequent appearance

The enterprises established have been
quite varied in character, and it appears
that IS new creameries have been in
cluded, with $5S, 300 invested, and en-
ploying 3S men; six new shops for man
ufacturing butter packages have been
put in operation, with $4,000 invested,

enterprises, and as will have been noted
also, the establishments are nearly all
small.

The people have already condemned
the Democratic tariff bill at the polls
and stand ready to punish with political
extinction every Northern Senator who
supports the infamous measure to i'm
poverish and devastate the North. The
Democrats in the Senate realize this as
thoroughly as the Republicans. The
Bourbons, sure of their fraud stained
seats in any event, are as reckless in
pushing the bill as they were in firing
on the American flag. But the North
ern Democrats, who remember what
subserviency to the South cost their
party third of century ago, are not
anxious to commit political suicide.
They hesitate, as well they may, in face
of an aroused and indignant North.
The Republicans have it in their power
by united and courageous action to kill
the Wilson bill and restore prosperity
to the people. Let them fight the Con-
federate scheme of confscation, revenge
and ruin by every resource at their
command!

The legislature of New York ad {.
journed Friday, with record of
which the citizens of that State, and the
Republican citizens in particular, are
proud. Hitherto tool to register the
will of Tammany Democracy it was this
session Republican by small majority
which has been handicapped in its work
by Tammany henchman, Gov. Flower.
In spite of his veto power and huge
Tammany corruption fund, this legisla-
ture has made saving to the State of
nearly two and one half millions. over
the expenditures of previous sessions.
This means that millions, instead of ben
efitting Tammany, goes to the State
Treasury. Three bills to secure honest
elections were passed by the Assembly
by almost strict party vote. Measures
were taken to rescue Gravesend from
the McKane gang; to save the City Hall
from destruction; to place the sheriff of
New York on a salary of $2O,OOO and
compelling him to turn the fees into the
City treasury, instead of pocketing them
which last year, with his salary,
amounted to over $4,000. These aid
many other similar measures are mon
ument to the fidelity and honesty of the
Republican minority in the New York
legislature. Some of these bills are al
ready laws. The amount of veto power
that the governor will use will depend
upon his courage to defy public senti
ment

Americans lead the warld in any mat
ter where they have fair chance. Man
ufacturers of bicycles in England and
France had long lead on American
makers, because cycling had been in
vogue in those countries some years be-
fore the spirit of that sport reached the
United States. For several years. the
English wheel was the favorite among
our riders. American skill and work
manship soon reach the front rank, how
ever, and it was not long before the
American manufacturers were turning
out as good wheels as their foreign COM
petitors, and to-day American bicycles
are being ridden by many European
wheelmen in preference to those made
in their own country.

NEW INDUSTRIES.

The reports show that $401, 800 have
been invested in new enterprises that
employ 800 persons. AS compared with
the report of 1892, it appears that less
than half as much capital has gone into
new business for the year 1898, as in the
preceding year, and that only little
over half as mnch employment is af-
forded. The comparison of the last
vested vste y in new business in 1893, $4oi, 800;
in 1892, SS13, 500; in 1891, S74l, 900; num-

Farm Sales and New Industries in Ver-
mont in 1898,

From the reports of town clerks, made
for the year 1893, the following compila-
tions have been made with reference to
the sale of farms and the undertaking
of new business enterprises in the State.
During the year, 1882 farms have been
sold, of which $50 were previously un-
occupied. This, as compared with 1892,
shows an increase in the total sales of
6S, and as compared with 1891, an in
crease 21S. The sales by counties for
the three years, 1891, 1892 and 1898 have
been as follows:

During the last two weeks, says the
Troy Times, Alderman George Dunlop
of the thirteenth ward, and John Fl.
Keefe have been circulating a subscrip-
tion list among the Democrats of Troy
for the purpose of collecting money with
which to defend Bat Shea. who killed
Robert Ross and John NcGough. Shea
went to Dunlop's saloon on Sixth avenue
after the tragedy in the third district of
the thirteenth ward. 1t is said that a
New York lawyer will be engaged to de-
fend Shea.

The whole country is laughing at Gov.
Flower of New York, for vetoing the
"Blanket Ballot bill," before it reached
him or he knew of its contents. He
tried to recall the release of his veto
message, but it was impossible TO do so.
He did not receive the bill until after
the adjournment of the legislature and
now he will have to assume the RESPONSE
bility.

In Blaine, state of Washington, the
people are enjoying a taste of Populist
theory put into practice, in the circula-
tion of "shingle certificates" An item
says: "a certificate for Sl6 recently cir.
culated until it had paid nearly $500 in
local debts before itfinally reached the
place whence it started. The basis of
the certificate was shingles, and it would
purchase flour, meat, coffee and fuel,
and perform all the functions of gold
basis certificate" All very finel But,
suppose the shingles had been destroyed
by fire without insurance, or the insur-
anCe worthless, where would have been
the value or 'gold basis?"

The Wilson bill was fabricated by an
ex-Confederate who owes the fact that
he is to-day freeman to the clemency
of the very section he now assails. 1t is
supported by ex-Confederates from
swamp and bayou and everglade who,
as general thing, know more about the
industries they attack than they do
about the literature of China. The in
famous measure has some deluded advo-
Gates who are regarded with respect,
but the backbone of its support is the
element which still upholds the princi-
pies of the Confederate constitution.

Those Democrats who voted for the
repeal of the Sherman silver purchase
clause will soon have an. opportunity of
making themselves solid with their free
silver constituents. A free coinage bill
will soon be introduced for this sole pur
pose. With the certainty of a veto in
case it could pass both branches of Con-
gress, the scheme looks like cheap bid
for denomination by a score or more of
frightened Congressman.

When asked why he did not leave his
farm and go to the village in order to
witness the march of a contingent of the
so-called industrial army, a Pennsyl-
vania farmer replied: ''I'd like to, but 1
can't get enough men to do my spring
ploughing. I'm trying to do the work
of three men, and 1 amt got time"
This epitomizes the whole truth about
the Coxey and other of the industrial
armies now on the march toward Wash
ington. There is plenty of work on the
farmr with board and fair wages.

either on business or pleasure, take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to visit the
