An Experts Opinion of the Standing of
the Companies.
The Phoenix is fortunate in being able
to present below the opinion of an officer
not connected with the regiment as to the
relative work of the battalion. Notes
we're made on the work at dress parade
and at drill, and from these are taken the
points given below. The rank Of com
panies taken in this way does not always
correspond to the work in active competi-
tion, when every man is on the qui vive,
but it surely gives an idea of the companies
that are doing hard and faithful work.
The work of the third battalion is supe-
rior to that of the first and second. Com
panies E, M and | seem to be well in the
lead, and there is no doubt but that the
official report will confirm this opinion.
At the dress parades Tuesday Companies
B, A, K, g, NJ and l did remarkably well,
and the parade as a whole was a great i'm
provement over that of Monday night.
The improvement was still marked We'd
nesday and the work was more nearly of
a uniform degree of excellence, although
Companies B, G, L, G, A, NJ and E were
ranked first.
On general appearance and set-up Com
panies K, NJ, H, F, l and K are noted as
being worthy of special mention.
Companies |, NJ, E, II and K did appar-
emily the most conscientious work at drill
Wednesday morning.
In the manual Companies I, E, NJ, F, H
and L showed their superiority to the 9TH
er companies of the regiment.
At dress parade last evening the i'm
provement was very marked, the work of
the third battalion being of high order.
Companies L, E, H, G, X and were es-
pecially noticeable on account of their ap-
pearance as they passed in review,

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, AUGUST II, 1894.
A Blue Pencil Mark.

Bills have recently been sent to all Phoenix sub
scribers whose accounts are in arrears for more
than one year. As rule the response has been
prompt, and the attention has been duly appre
ciated. We wish to remind those who have over
looked their bills, or have failed to remit, that
even in dull times money is necessary to conduct
a newspaper business. The Phoenix gives every
subscriber value received for his money, and in
return it asks for prompt settlement of bills rem
dered.

The War Governor.

Camp Governor Holbrook is the fitting
name of the annual encampment of the
Vermont National Guard at Brattleboro
this week. Few of the old war governors
are still living and among them none more
worthy and honored than eX-GOv Hol-
brook, who is passing his declining years
in peace, prosperity and happiness in his
beautiful Brattleboro home, with unabated
interest in local and national affairs. All
honor to the patriotic and only surviving
war governor of Vermont.

Hundreds of prairie schooners line the
roads from western Nebraska toward the
Mississippi river. They contain farmers
and their families who have been ruined
and driven out by the drouth, and whose
one desire is to reach some point east of
the Mississippi to spend the winter.

1t has been estimated by the treasury de-
partment that the Senates tariff would
yield a revenue slightly above S163, 100000
in customs duties. The Morrill, tariff
yielded during the 10 years following the
war period an annual revenue of S17S,0OO,-
600 in customs duties. The Mckinley tar
if has been slightly more prolific of reve-
nue., yielding in customs duties S2l6, SS5,-

143, 61S in 1898.

1t is charged by the Republicans and
fusonists that stupendous ballot-box
frauds, such as have rarely been equaled,
even in the South, were perpetrated by the
Democrats in the recent Alabama election,
and that the state was carried for their
ticket by this means alone.

John L. Searles, the treasurer of the
sugar trust, sent letter to Chairman Will
son Tuesday correcting his statement in the
Democratic caucus about the importation
and holdings of raw sugar by the trust.
Mr.. Wilson said the amount, in value, was
S112,000,000, but Mr.. Searles says the
total sugar stock in sight in the CONNER
clal world on the 9th of August was only
1,112,663 tons worth S20,00O,O00; of this
the trust held not exceeding 200, 900 tons,
worth 100000 instead of S112, 1000 900.

The Ftchburg railroad transferred its
train service last Sunday to the immense
new Union station on Causeway street oc-
cupied by it and the Boston 6t Maine sys-
TEN. 1t is the largest railroad station un-

The New York Heralds characterize
tion: "Under compulsion of the darkest and
foulest conspiracy in the annals of any ma
tion the House of Representatives has
passed the Senate tariff bill"
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1894-08-17

AS soon as the determination of :he
House to pass the Senate tariff bill became
known Mr.. Cleveland wrote a personal
and sympathetic" letter to Mr.. Wilson
urging him not to be cast down, but to
take care of himself and regain his health
so as to continue the fight and prove that
the Democratic party is the party of tariff
reform. Mr.. Cleveland had himself "be-
gun to doubt this" but chad not allowed
himself to entertain the thought" etc,
etc. Is it possible that the President
really takes himself seriously when he
writes in this strain?

Let Vermont Republicans Fulhn Theil
Obligations.
From the st. Albans Messenger,

Fortunate in the candidates selected to
lead them, fortunate in the principles they
espouse, and fortunate in their opportunity
to protest against Democratic incompet-
ency in the nation, let the Republicans of
Vermont realize their obligations to the
great party in whose achievements they
have borne so creditable part, and fulfill
those obligations to the utmost.

Lowest Known Prices.

Wheat and Cotton, However, Sold For the
Lowest Known Prices.
NEW York, oct 6--R. G. Dun & Co s
weekly review of trade says today Tho
lowest prices ever known for wheat and
cotton necessarily imply somewhat re-
stricted consumption Of other products.
With the chief money crops Of the west
and south sinking in value, it Is not
strange that purchases Of manufactured
products are smaller than was expected
Wheat has touched tho lowest point ever
known for options, and cotton tho lowest
ever known In any form with tho present
classification, and tho accumulation Of
stocks in both products is discouraging
to purchasers for an advance.
producers arc compelled to sell at
prices below the ordinary cost of raising
crops, and in some western states thero is
also a lamentable failure of the corn crop.
Under the circumstances it would be very
strange ii the demand for manufactured
products should be quito as large as n
other years.
.The condition Of the industries is in
some respects more satisfactory. xvi
IDENTIFY thero Is larger demand for iron
products than there was a month ago
thouuh the increase in output has beer
somewhat greater than the increase in the
demand, SO that prices steadily tend down

A STUDY OF FACES,

no matter where you 60, win
show you how many, many peo-
pie ought to be taking Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt
There's the thin, peaked face
that tells Of perverted nutrition.
There's the fat, puffy face Of
fatulent obesity. There's the
otherwise pretty face that's
married by skin disorders and
eruptions; the yellow, haggard
face Of the dyspeptic; the duh,
drawn faces Of sufferers from
stomach and liver and kidney
troubles.
All these people need the
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt. 1t goes
to the root Of the whole matter.
It purifes the blood, dissolves
distinctions, clears the system,
and cures permanently, in ma
tural way, every derahgement
Of the stomach, bowels, liver and
kidneys. Beware of the many
limitations sold as "improved :"
or artificial " Carlsbad Salt.
These generally consist only of
ordinary Seidlitz Powder and
Glauber Salt, sold by unscrupu-
lous dealers upon the reputation
of the Genuine Carlsbad Salt.
The only genuine imported
Carlsbad Salt has the signature of
"EIsNER & A1ENDELsoN Co. Agts,
New York, on every bottle.
