Commander Gibson, U. S. N, who
recently returned to this country from
Ia three years cruise in the Japan
China waters, gives an interesting ac-
count of the condition of the Japanese
fleet. "The ships are all commanded
by Annapolis graduates said he,
f'and they made me feel proud Of the
work done at our naval school" The
| first Japanese graduate from Annapo
is is at the head Of the Japanese navy
hs chief executive officer, under the
Direction of the emperor. The second
graduate is flying the penant of rear
admiral from the Naniwa, which was
prominent in the recent battle, and
he seven leading captains in the Jap
nese navy also graduated from An
(apolis. This fact gives especial in
erest to the recent work Of the Jap
nese fleet.

4 PROPTTTOUS SEASON.

The chilly atmosphere and the fall
ing leaf reminds us that the agreeable
season of the year is nearing it's end.
From a winter of more than average
mildness and agreeableness, spring
opened early in March and bright
skies and mild days came early. April
was rather cold and unpleasant, but
the snow got away in good season and
the farmer began his work early.
The weather averaged fair and dry
all the early season, though there was
rain enough in this section to make
good pasturage and fair hay crop.
There have been no heavy rains dur
ing the season and springs and
streams are low, but showers at fire.
quent intervals have kept the grass
green and favored all growing crops.
Oats, perhaps, were rather light, but
the corn, potato and rowen crops are
good. The year has been favorable
for roads and road building and the
highways in the county were never
better than they are now. The wealth
er has been specially favorable for
work for the fairs and general busi
ness for the last two months, and
those whose work is behind, have
themselves only to blame.
1t will be we'll to remember that
the Vermont winter never fails to
reach here, and that the advent Of the
unpleasant visitor is close at hand.
Cold rains, mud, snow and disagreea
bic weather will soon come and what
needs to be done before winter sets
in must be done at once-the sooner
the better.
While many sections of the country
and the world have been visited with
floods and drouths, tornadoes and cy-
clones, misfortunes and disasters,
Vermont has escaped, and the people
have enjoyed a season of security
and average financial prosperity.
This is not place of great things,
possibly, in the matter of the accu-
mutation of wealth; the climate is
not the most agreeable the whole year
round, but taken all in all, few places
in the broad country, or in the wide
world, afford the people more of COM
fort and blessing than can be found
in old Vermont.

and they have some expectation OF
carrying two other districts. In Mary
| land the committees information is
that three Of the six districts will be
carried by the republicans, and in
Tennessee they expect to increase
their present holdings of two to four
seats.
The republicans claim, ,and the dem
ocrats concede, the entire delegation
from Iowa, with one exception, and
40 or upwards from Maine, Oregon,
Montana, Idaho, New Hampshire,
North and South Dakota, Washington,
Vermont and Pennsylvania. They
also expect to carry every district in
Kansas, in which state the democrats
estimate that four populists will be
successful. Five members are all the
democrats anticipate electing in the
six New England states. Fitzgerald
and McEttrick in Massachusetts, Pig
ott and DeForest in Connecticut, and
Page in Rhode Island, and the repub-
icans reduce this estimate by two,
cutting off one in Massachusetts, and
one in Connecticut. In New York the
republicans claim to be able to carry
10 districts and concede to the demo-
Gratis everything south of the Harlem.
In New Jersey the republicans expect
to elect five representatives out of
eight, and in Ohio they concede the
Democrats five out of 21. In Illinois
the democratic claim is nine, leaving
the republicans II. In Indiana the
republicans are confident of securing
nine districts out of 13. In Wisconsin
the republican estimate is seven re-
publicans and three democrats, and in
Nebraska they expect to carry every
congressional district.-Stdtesndn

admonish; this body will be like it's
predecessors. The first fortnight will
see little more than beginning and
the important work will not start till
much later.
A word in regard to appropriations
and State expenses should be in order,
but will avail little. There will be q
disposition in many quarters to get
large or larger appropriations for this
and that, and those whose business it
is to lobby will make their influence
felt, though the inexp perienced mem
Der may not realize it. It will be here
little and there a little, until the ag-
gregate is large. If the legislator
would set his face pretty hard against
everything that has the s mark
before it he would come nearer to do
ing his duty than otherwise. The con-
dition of affairs is such that economy,
careful and rigid, ought to be exer-
cised. 1t is no time for large expend-
itures. Some of the sources Ofincome
for the State treasury will diminish
during the next two years and the
times will demand economy. The
State tax is too large now, and it
ought to be cut down.. If the legis-
lature will do little, do that quickly
and economically, it will win the favor
of the people.

LITTLE LEGISLATION NEEDED.

The opening of session of the leg
lature raises the question of the ne
Pssity of new legislation. While it
lay be true that some of the hastily
Jade laws of the last session or two
bed repairs, it is equally true that
[e State is not in need of any radical
|wmaking at this time. Represent
lives and senators will best serve
| cir constituents who strive to do
/ tie in the line of new laws.
If somehow the work necessary to
done could be started at once and
shed to the end, an adjournment
uld be made in four weeks. But
reverse will be the case; the more
portant measures viii not be push
in the beginning and the rush and
fiood-for such there is liable to
will occur during the last three
rs before Thanksgiving. Strange
{ the legislature is thing wholly
pendent on that particular day for
ending. All experienced legisla-
know the evils of hasty and crude
islation, and the inexperienced
mbers ought to know that the work
he session can not be crowded into
last three days. But it is useless to

THE NATIONAL CANVASS.

The repu blican congressional cam
paign committee at Washington has
completed it's preliminary canvass of
the country, and is confident that 200
republican members will be elected
to the next house. The house will
consist of 356 members, OF which 179
will be quorum. If the republicans
succeed in carrying the 200 districts
they will have a majority of A, and
will be able at any time to make up q
quorum, having 21 votes to spare more
than the necessary 179.
This canvass comedies to the dem
ocrats nearly all of the delegations
from the Southern states. Texas is
regarded as debatable ground, the
campaign committees information
being that the Populists will make Sc
rious inroads in to the democrats of
that state. A similar condition
of affairs exists in Missouri, where
the republicans expect, by the aid Of
the populists, to unseat at least four
democrats, in addition to electing
thee straight republicans in the city
of st. Louis and three others In the
county. In Louisiana they expect to
elect not less than three representa-
tives. In Virginia the committee
claim that three republicans will be
elected, while the democrats concede
one. In West Virginia the committee
is very sure that Mr.. Wilson, the au-
thor of the tariff bill, will be defeated
by majority of from !, 1000 to 1,5O0,

The city and town elections in Conn
ecticut last week, showed a great
landslide in favor of the republicans.
There was a great gain in the num-
Der of cities which were carried by
republicans. The tide has been run
ming in on the republican side for more
than year, and the indications point
in the direction of victories for that
party all along the line.

According to the census, the Uni

eggs in 1879 and s17 900, 900 dozens in
1889. These figures are probably un-
der the mark. At the figures given,
however the annual egg product of
the United States amounts to $780,

pretty high figure for the annual out

KcIlv,s Army Reaches Omaha.

OMAHA, April rs. - General Kelly and
his 200 troops spent q beautiful Sabbath
in the enjoyment of more luxuries than
they have known since they left home two
weeks ago. When the army reached the
confines Of Omaha, the train was halted
at n side track just inside the city limits.
Chief Seavy was there with two platoons
Of police IL had been the intention to
disembark the army there in the woods
and have breakfast The authorities had
provided 1900 loaves of bread and 1900
pounds of cooked beef while a business
firm had given 1000 pies All this prov
snder was in two box cars attached to
the Kelly train, and then the procession
moved on.
"Frenchy," the only man in the army
with a uniform, sat ON the pilot Of the en-
gine holding large American flag, while
from the box cars were displayed the
name, colors and banners peculiar to the
army. Mottos of various kinds were also
displayed. At the Union Pacific transfer
yards i'm Council Bluffs there was q crowd
of 1000 or 5000 people.
Seven companies of militia were drawn
up in line. When the train pulled in, a
great cheer went up. Both the citizens
and the Kellyites joined in making the
depot sheds rattle with their yells while
the militia boys looked rather shame
facedly at each other as If they wondered
why they were there.
In moment the blankets aud baggage
were tumblsi out of the cars in which the
army has Travelled the last six days, and a
camp was pitched on the ground about
100 yards from the depot. Breakfast was
soon under way. City hydrants were
opened and faces washed with a vigorous
haste that denoted the zest and relish OF
cold water.
After breakfast there began a reception
which lasted well into the evening. Fully
$4,000 people visited the camp and mingled
with the soldiers. kelly's wonderful or
ganization was never better shown. Thl
discipline of the army is as perfect as tha
of well drilled regulars.
