The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1894-05-30

vored. 1t should be free from the objections
that John G. Calhoun urged in 1884 against
the state bank issues that produced that
state of convulsion and revulson,' which
he so graphically pointed out II we should
return to the system of state bank crcula-
ton which prevailed in Mr.. Jefferson's
time, the private fortune of the people will
again be at the mercy of the self.constituted
money lenders, and will be Frustrated by
the floods OF nominal money with which
their avarice will deluge us" The pending
question was not disposed Of at the hour Of
adjournment.
MONDAY The paragraph Of the lumber
schedule of the tariff bill was under consid-
Grafton in the senate. Mr. Hale OF Maine
spoke in behalf of the interests of the yeo-
men of New England, whose only reliance
for ready money was their woodlots. He
stated that II the lumber supply of Canada
were let in, the market for the farmers OF
New England would be destroyed and the
removal of the duty on lumber would put
81 200 900 into the Canadian treasury. Mr..
Vest of Missouri replied by saying that the
thousands and thousands of his constituents
on the prairies who were selling wheat at
thirty cents bushel and who were getting
nothing for their cattle and horses could
not be protected but the price OF lumber
was to be put upon them. Mr.. Perkins of
California made long speech against free
lumber, and the matter went over without
action. - No business of general inter-
est was transacted in the house.

By unanimous vote of Washburn Re
lief Corps of Bradford, the following resolu.
tiOns were adonted.
Men of Vermont.

This publication, in preparation for some
two or three years, has made its appear
ance. The work is creditable to its pub
Usher, j. G. Ullery of Brattleboro, and its
editorial superintendent, Hiram A. Huse of
Montpelier. Part l., opening with an in
PRODUCTION by Redfeld Proctor, is made up
of biographical sketches of those who bore
a leading part in founding the state, begin
ming very naturally with Ethan Allen, and
including Seth Warner, Remember Baker,
Ira Allen, and the crowd of ancient worthless
whose names are only less familiar than the
foregoing. Sketches of those men who
were the states first governors, its first
judges, senators and representatives in con-
gress follow, embellished, wherever pos
sible, by portraits of the subjects of the
sketches Part 1. is thus of high historic
value and interest, being valuable COM
pilation of all the important facts of the
early history OF Vermont, with sketches of
the lives OF the men who made the history
OF Vermont before she became state who
laid the foundations of her political ex-
istence and reared thereon the fabric that
has acquired a unique distinction among the
states of the American Union. This depart
ment Of the work, comprising 201 pages,
closes with sketch of Vermont's inventors,
by Levi X. Fuller, and some of her queer
characters" by Hiram A. Huse among
whom are those high priests OF Mormonism,
Brigham Young, Joseph Smith and Heber
@. Kimball. Part III. comprises biographical
sketches and portraits of some 600 men of
Vermont in all ranks of life farmers, me-
chanics, professional men, newspaper men,
governors and ex-governors, representatives
and senators in congress, in service and out
Part III. is devoted TO some 200 sons of Ver-
mont, chief among whom the state proudly
numbers Chester A. Arthur, president,
and Levi p. Morton, a vice-president of the
United States, Sons of Vermont, living and
holding places Of trust and honor, or en-
gagged in business or professional life in
nearly every state in the Union, occupy
inches in this department. This volume
will be scanned with interest, and it will
constitute very important contribution to
the history Of Vermont 1t is valuable be-
cause it is a thoroughgoing, conscientious
penny element. The book is we'll printed
and bound. Contributors, publisher and
editor deserve commentator for faithful
and meritorious performance.

Memorial Sunday Services.

The public observance of Memorial Sun
day more and more prevails as the time be-
comes more distant from that of the events
it commentaries. From our correspond
ence we CLEAN the following report, neces
sarily somewhat abridged:

cieties, was fine.

In MemOrian.

John Barron Pickett, for many years
prominent in the business affairs of Brad
ford died at his home on Saturday evening,
May II, after sickness OF little over two
weeks. Mr.. Pickett was born in Bradford,
December 10, 1892. His residence was al
ways in Bradford, and he had been in bust
ness of some kind and in some way since he
was about sixteen years old. In 1854 he be-
came one OF the firm Of G. w. Prichard &
Co., in the ownership and running OF the
brick grist-mill and saw-mill connected
Herewith, and continued to own an interest
in that property under various changes of
the firm until the property was sold to
Craig & Hooker, in June, 1891. Mr.. Peck
EFT was an industrious, Woodworking, pru-
dent man, and was very successful in bust
ness and accumulated large property.
He seldom specialized, but trusted to the
gains of prudent industry and legitimate
business. September 9, 1S47, he married
Miss Caroline H., daughter OF Asa Low of
Bradford. Two sons survive-Asa Low
Pickett of Boston, and John Barron Peck.
EFT of Bradford, the former in the office of
the Boston & Maine railroad, and the latter
a lawyer. His only daughter who reached
maturity died May A, 1874, in less than a
month after her marriage to Dr. Hora ce
Berry of Cambridge, Mass. Mrs. Pickett
died July 8, 1889, in her sixty-second year,
AT the breaking out of the rebellion, Mr.

White, Judgment was reversed and judy
ment given that the appellant recover
S13S.70 AT ten o'clock Friday morning, the
court took a recess until Thursday, July 12
when the decisions in cases not already dis
posed OF will be rendered.
PROBABLY the most exciting game OF ball
that will be witnessed in Montpelier this
season was played on the V. M. s. diamond
last Saturday, when the St. Johnsbury
Academy team was defeated by a score of
IL to 10. The game kept the spectators in
terested from the fact that first one team
and then the other led in the score and It
was anybody's game until the last man was
out. The st. Johnsbury boys excelled in
throwing and fielding, but were defeated by
Captain Standish's superior pitching and
good team work Wilder played his first
game with the V. NJ. s. boys since his in
jury four weeks ago, and showed some Of
his old form by accepting three difficult
chances in center field besides making two
OF the five hits. One particularly objec-
tionable feature OF the game was the un-
called for " kicking by the st. Johnsbury
boys, who acknowledged after the game
that they were merely talking to "bluff I"
the umpire. The only apparent excuse
which might be offered for their conduct is
probably found in the fact that they showed
themselves ignorant OF some OF the fine
points OF the game, and they also came here
overconfident of winning, as the V. M. s.
boys were not in the best Of condition for
playing league game, having just taken a
three-days' trip. In justice to the umpire it
should be said that his rulings were in
strict conformance to the National League
rules Of 1894. The V. M. s. boys have
played winning ball during the past week
and show themselves to be good base-run-
ners and capable of doing good team work.
With few changes in the makeup Of the
team, they may make the leaders hustle for
the honors Of the Inter.scholastic League

The Great Coal Strike.

April 81 strike of the miners of BIZ
luminous coal was ordered which has
reached an unusual extent and as
sumed an importance that has very
rarely attended strikes in this country.
In fourteen states and two territories,
fully 175 900 miners are idle, and only
about $4,000 are at work. The rail
ways are great consumers of bitumin-
GUS coal, and to keep their trains in
motion they have been forced to Dor
row" coal in transit to the large deal
ers at the great distributing points.
Thus the dealers have been unable to
fill their contracts, and vast business
interests in many states are seriously
crippled. 1t is estimated that within a
week the stock of bituminous coal on
hand will be exhausted. Long idleness
has brought privations to the miners,
provoking them to riot in several states.
In Illinois, in particular, violence has
been of such an extraordinary charac-
ter that state troops have been ordered
out to maintain order and protect prop
erty. The demand on the military re-
sources of the state has in some in
stances exceeded the governors capac-
ity to respond. Alarm in the coal re-
gions is at fever heat, and the threat
ened communities are imploring Gov
ernor Altgeld not to leave them with
out military protection.
What was the cause of the strike?
Low wages in Pennsylvania, southern
Illinois, West Virginia and parts of
other coal regions, and threatened re-
duction in other fields to bring miners
wages to a uniform low rate. The
rate for mining now is some seventy
cents a ton, and the striking miners
declare that they will not yield until a
uniform rate of seventy-fve cents ton
is established throughout the country.
This rate is considerably lower than the
base rate prior to the beginning of the
strike. Operators in most of the fields
are willing to pay the price demanded;
but there are some 10000 miners who
are unwilling to pledge themselves to
the general plan proposed. Central
and southern Illinois, the seat of the
existing violence, are the regions that
are holding out.
While the matter of wages is the i'm
mediate cause of this strike, with all its
violence and suffering, the great first
cause is democratic war upon the in.
dustrial system of the country. With
almost every other article, coal has
shared in the downward plunge in
prices. Lower prices for coal mean
lower prices for mining, and lower
wages mean strikes like that now in
progress, with their long trains of suf,
fering, violence, crime and general law
lessness. The strike, with all its attend
ant features, is one of the legitimate
fruits of Cleveland times"

DISPATCHES from Vienna tell of reign of
terror in Belgrade and throughout Servia.
The expression OF political opinion, either
in the press or orally, in public or in pri-

arrests are of almost hourly occurrence.
The persons thus far arrested include many
radical deputies who are charged with con-

Prince Karageorgevitch on the throne.
This is astock charge which is made against

no other specific accusation can be brought.
