Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1894-05-11

A monument to Mary Washington, the
mother of George Washington, was dedi-
Gated at Fredericksburg, Va, yesterday.
The oration was by Senator John w.
Daniel. President Cleveland made short
opening address. Funds for the erection OF
the monument were raised by few public
spirited women who interested others in the
project.
The committee appointed by Secretary
Herbert began an investigation of the
charges made against the Carnegie compa-
ny in connection with armor plate, at
Homestead, Pa, Tuesday. There is no
likelihood of any official information be-
ing given out until Secretary Herbert re-
turns from California some time in June.
The entire proceedings are to be kept Sc
Cret.
Advices from Bluefeds, Nicaragua, are
to the effect that the government has, in
answer to the demand of the British min
ister, cancelled her withdrawal of Consul
Binghanl's exequatur. 1t is also said that
Nicaraguans have taken charge of the
leased lands at Bluefeld Bluff belonging
to Americans, claiming that all leases for
over eight years will be cancelled as illegal,
although improvements amounting to over
81, 100000 have been placed thereon by
Americans in Nicaragua.

If half the accounts are true the most
disguised men in Washington this week
are the majority of Democrats as they
stand confronted with the latest effort of
their party in the Senate at tariff tinkering.
They cannot help but acknowledge that
the new substitute bill is a complete sur
render of the party's alleged principles.
The New York Herald voices the senti-
ment of its party when it says that sit
looks more like the result of a division of
spOils than a tariff measure adapted to the
needs of the country" and that "the Dem
ocrats in the Senate have either deliberate
ly trihed with the tariff or shown their ut
ter incompetency to deal with it,"
EX-Speaker Thomas B. Reed says: "The
presentation by the Senate finance commit
tee of 81 pages of amendments, more than
400 in number, is delicate compliment to
Mr. Wilson and the House of Representa-
tives. 1t virtually says that the House
bill was right except on 400 or 800 points,
and that the Senate committee, after a
months work, find 400 mistakes in their
own bill. This will hardly tend to restore
confidence in the country, especially as ev-
cry amendment smacks of either prior ig-
norance or present barter 1t seems i'm
possible that a document so constructed as
to show traffic in every item should be per-
mitted to see daylight in one batch"
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts made
| one of his most vigorous tariff speeches
| Wednesday. Heruthlessly dissected theme
! German bill, and described it as having no
! legitimate parentage, "born of an unnat-
ural union between two hatreds, that OF
section against section and that of class
against class" In whitening flash OF
sarcasm he declared that the Senate was
asked "to enact into law a spasm that the
people have got over"
Mr.. Mills of Texas is exasperated beyond
endurance at the situation. He took the
floor in the Senate Wednesday afternoon

Seneca maseIton to Venezuela.

Hon. Seneca Haselton of Burlington was
on Saturday appointed envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary of the United
States to Venezuela. Mr.. Haselton was
born at Westford in 184S. He graduated
from the University of Vermont and from
the law department of the University of
Michigan. He was city judge at Burling-
ton eight years, represented the city in the
legislature in 1856, and has served three
years as mayor. Judge Haselton is gen.
tleman of high character, student, a
strong and polished speaker, possesses tact
and caution so essential to successful diplo-
macy. He succeeds Col. F. c. Partridge
of Proctor, resigned. The salary of his
new position will be $500 year. Judge
Haselton was endorsed by all the leading
Republicans and Democrats of Vermont.

Protecting CottOIene.

The Telegraph of Macon, Ga, says that
the n. K. Fairbank company of Chicago
have brought suit in the United States
court against dealer in that city for $1,000
for infringing their trade mark 'Cotto-
lene," familiar to all readers of The Phn-
nix. The Fairbank company set forth
that they are the originators of this prepar-
alton of refined cotton-seed oil, with a
small proportion of beef suet, to be used as
a substitute for lard in cooking. The
purity and healthfulness of this article they
guarantee; they have been at great eX-
pense in perfecting it and putting it on the
market, and they are determined to use
every necessary means TO protect the pub
lie from inferior limitations.

of the labor unions. These unions stub
bornly resist any reduction in the rate of
wages to correspond with the general re-
duction in the prices of foreign goods,
"and it thus becomes a question whether,
following the tariff uncertainties, we are
to have a labor conflict. Upon that hangs
the further question, when may we hope to
see our industries restored to a basis of
reasonably active prosperity? Could the
doubts on that point be removed, there
would be solid basis of confidence in the
revival of trade; for in all other respects the
country is prepared for an active resump-
ton of trade and for the undertaking of
enterprises that would afford free employ
ment for labor and capital"

The Passing of COXey.

The several armies are rapidly resolving
themselves into bands of tramps that the
advancing spring will scatter. Out of
100000 people in this country rather
more than 5000 have tramped or stolen
rides in the several "armies." Such is the
true proportion of movement that has
been treated by the press as if it were of
national consequence. Only one of the
armies got to Washington, to have its
leaders fined for not keeping off the grass,
to be exhibited as freaks by the chief freak,
and to be told that if it doesn't keep its
camp cleaner it will be prosecuted by the
health authorities. Such is the end of
CoXeyism.

Coxey and the Coxeyites.

CoXey and his lieutenants went on trial
Monday in the police court at Washington
for the offences with which they were
charged in unlawfully trespassing on the
capitol grounds. The jury returned YER
dict Tuesday, finding CoXey, Browne and
Jones guilty on the first count, which
charges them with carrying banners de-
signed to bring the CoXey army into prom
inence in the capitol grounds. On the
second count, of unlawfully trampling on
the grass OF. the capitol grounds, CoXey and
Browne were found guilty, while the charge
against Jones was dismissed. The penalty
imposed by the statute for offences of this
kind is Zine or imprisonment, or both, at
the discretion of the court-the fine not to
exceed 500, the Imprisonment not to eX-
ceed 60 days.
Wednesday Coxey went to the capitol
and was given hearing by the House labor
committee. He talked in a rambling way,
and said nothing that was useful or help
full.
Coxey's Washington camp is in a mud
hole. Its condition is highly unsanitary,
and the 'army' is furnishing many pa
tients for the hospitals. The district COM
missioners have notified CoXey to clean up
and comply with the health regulations or
he will be prosecuted.
Commodore Kelly sailed from Des
Moines, Ia, for Washington Wednesday
with 1850 men in flotilla of $50 flat-boats.
Each boat is Is feet long, six feet wide and
one foot deep and accommodates 10 men.
When the Mississippi is reached the boats
will be lashed together if practicable, and
if not barge will be secured.
Twenty-three members of Galvin's divi-
sion of the commonweal army have been
arrested at Pittsburg and sent to the county
Jail for 20 days for trespassing on the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad trains.

Mr. Batten ON the Morgan Horse.

Joseph Battell of Middlebury announces
that his book on The Morgan horse"
now in press, will be published about June
/. Including % pages of illustrations, it
will make a handsome volume of 1859
pages. Mr.. Battell has been engaged in
the preparation of this work, with able
assistance, since 1884. Like the loyal Yer
monter that he is, Mr.. Battell is a firm be-
lever in the Morgan horse as possessing
both in present attainment and future
promise, the very best qualities of form,
style, intelligence, beauty and speed of
which horse-tlesh is capable, and he enthu-
siastically looks to see a Morgan horse
lower the race record TO two minutes.
"Not the fastest horse" he says, however,
"but the best horse should be the object
of breeding and it is to produce this
horse as type, $50 that in every colt we
shall be reasonably sure to get the horse
we want that the Morgan register has
been established. In addition to the points
here suggested the preface, of which we
have received advanced pages, discusses
the law of heredity or inheritance, as seen
in breeding, and that more subtle
quality or influence of prepotency which
all scientific breeders recognize, though it
cannot be definitely defined. The appear
ance of Mr.. Battelrs book will be awaited
with interest by all horsemen.

The Business situation and the Labor

question:
The commercial agencies in their week
lY reviews all recognize the fact that the
great strike in the coal regions and the
strikes in other industries have had the eff
feet to check the tide of returning pros
perty which the country was beginning to
feel. The coal strike involves nearly or
quite 10000 operatives in bituminous coal
and coke in twelve states. Within the
past week there has come to be a daily rec
ord of furnaces banking fires, factories
closing doors, lake vessels laying up, and
mills in the central and western states
shutting down because of a coal famine
due to the strikes. In some cases electric
street railway systems have been tied up
for the same reason. The total num-
Der of industrial and other employees on
strike now, with those idle by reason of
strikes, is estimated at 100000, of which
nearly IS per cent are coal miners and
coke operatives, 10,400 textile workers,
1000 in pottery and kindred industries,
5000 among building trades and 5000 rail
road employees.
That men should strike under the condi-
tions which have prevailed for the last nine
months, and which were just beginning to
show positive improvement, seems incredi-
bic. The banking house of Henry Clews
n Co. discuss the subject at length in their
weekly letter and express the belief that,
with the probable passage of the tariff bill
in a form less antagonistic to our manu-
featuring interests than at first threatened,
the main obstacle to a general and perma-
nent revival of business lies in the attitude

Col. Mnnsur for Lieutenant Governor

Out of the multiciplicity of candidates
for the lieutenant governorship it is becom-
ing evident that the choice of the people of
the east side of the state will settle upon
Hon. 4. NJ. Mansur of Brighton as the
man to receive the honor. Such a choice
will be in every way commendable. Col.
Mansur is a man of such sterling and at
tractive personal qualities and high char
acter as commend him to all who know
him. He has good record in both public
and private life. He was a member of the
House in 1856 and of the Senate in 1892,
and is therefore familiar with legislative
usages. He carries an empty sleeve in
token of his three years service at the
front in the Union cause. Should the Re
publican ticket be Woodbury. and Mansur,
as now appears probable, Vermont will be
unique in giving to one-armed veterans its
two highest offices at the same time.
