A BOOM FOR SWANTON


SwANToN, April 16.-The following letter
received this morning by Hon. II. A. Burt
of this village speaks for itself;
FIETY-THIRD CONGRESS,
COMMITTEE on JUDICIARY,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WAsHINGToS, ID. c., April II.
Hon. II A. Burt, Swanton, Vt:
My Dear Sir--The river and harbor bill, as
reported to the House by the committee, pro-
vides for preliminary survey of the MisSis-
quot river from SWanton to the lake. The bill.
OF course will pass, and hope in season to
permit this work to be done during the sum
mer. Yours truly,
II, II. POWERS.
In high water Missisquoi river is now
nayigable from here to the lake, and more
or less shipping is done to and from here
boats loading with tho product of the mar
BILE mills here for New York and returning
with heavy goods or coal, though for many
years little has been Eshipped into Swanton
village by water except at the docks at the
lake, because there is no knowing whether
they can get over the bars or not. Let the
government dredge the river of the sand
bars which are the accumulations of ages,
and Swanton will be an important port,
having direct water communication with
Troy, Albany and New York, instead OF
having to haul everything two miles over
land from Maquam docks at the lake, or
pay local freight rates over tho b. q NJ.

A SURRENDER TO REEOlSM.
So Say Angry Democrats of the Latest
Party Action.

WASHINGTON, April 15,--The best char
acterization of tho action of the democratic
caucus of Friday last is that employed by
the democrats who opposed the decision to
authorize a quorum compelling rule. They
say with great energy and bitterness that
the democratic party has surrendered to
Reedism; indeed, one of them went 80 Tar in
the caucus as to propose resolution that
the new rule should be entitled, "A rule to
make Thomas b. Reed president of the
United States"
The democrats are so angry and indig-
nant that the usual method with regard to
furnishing information as to the action of n
caucus has been abandoned. 1t has been
the custom of both parties TO give out the
text Of any resolution that may be adopted
and to maintain tho injunction of secrecy
only to the debates. But tho dem
ocrats adopted "A most rigid resolution that
neither tho decision of the caucus nor the
discussion should be given to the public. 1t
is a fact, however, that the democrats have
decided that the committee on rules shall
forthwith report rule to take the place of
the one now pending before the House, which
shall direct the speaker to ascertain and to
declare the presence of a quorum when
there are members enough present and not
voting to constitute quorum.

HON. AUGUSTUS D. BACON Named by the Democratic Legis-
 lative Caucus of Georgia
TO FILL THE LONG TERM
As United States Senator-Hon. Patrick Walsh Gets the
 Unexpired Term.

ATLANTA, Nov. 1.-The democratic cau- GUS of the Georgia general assembly romi- hated two United States senators this even- ing. The appointment of Senator Patrick Walsh by Governor Northen was unani- mously onfirned by his election to All out the unexpired term of the late Senator Col quit. For the long term, beginning March 4, 1895, Hon. Augustus O. Bacon was nominated on the first ballot, he re- ceiving 93 votes. Congressman Henry G. Turner received 37 votes, F. L. Garrard 21 votes and Patrick Wash votes for the long term. The nomination of Major Bacon was then made unanimous.
 The contest has been very heated one, and the candidates have been on the stump didates Walsh, Garrard and Bacon are rec ognized as silver men, and Burner repre- sented the attitude of the administration on the financial question.
 Both Bacon and Walsh, the two senators nominated today, are outspoken in their advocacy of return to the free and un- limited coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to 1, and each of them favor action by this country in the settlement of the financial question without regard to international agreement.
 MT. Turner strongly advocated the views of Mr. Cleveland on the financial question, and based his candidacy un that line.
 The election will take place next Tues- day, but today's caucus settles the matter.

AN EYE WITNESS
Tells What He Knows of the Cotton Harvester-Wants to See the
 Plant Erected Here.

MT. J. A. Yancey, travelling represent ative of the Northington-Munger- company of this city, was seen by an AGE HERALD reporter yesterday and, while speaking of the success of his company, incidentally mentioned the cotton har- vester, of which notice was made in yes- terday's AGE- HERALD.
 MT. Yancey immediately said: "sir, l can tell you all about that machine from personal observation, and furthermore I your journal in urging the establishment of the plant in Birmingham. It should come here, and if it does, which I con- scientiously believe will be the final result if your journal continues to bring it before the people, it will be of incalculable inter- est to the greatest city of the south.o
 MT. Yancey then related what he had seen about as follows: "I was in the Yazoo delta, and knowing that two of the ma chimes were in operation on Colonel Tay- lor's place, near. Bentonia. Miss, per- suaded an extensive planter to go with me and see the machines at work. l was pre- pared to see success, but, candidly, 1t went beyond my expectations. At my suggestion to Colonel Taylor we took one of the machines, gathered six acres of the staple and carefully weighed it. We then sent hands to pick the remainder of tho cotton left by the machine. This, too, was weighed, and the ratio of cotton gathered by the machine was 9 to 1, or ninety pounds out of 100. You can draw your own con- clusions.'
 He then said this cotton was run through one of his make of gins and the sample was classed by Yazoo City experts as strict good ordinary. Other cotton was run through one of his gins with cleaner attachment, and the sample was classed mddling. Mir. Yancey spoke of the many fields white with the fleecy staple in the great Mississippi cotton belt yet ungathered, and said the harvester must undoubtedly prove boon to the farmer.
 When asked if the cotton stalks were in- jured by the machine or any of the green bolls pulled off, MT. Yancey exclaimed: stNow, there is strong and favorable point. The stalk is virtually uniujured, and especially is this remarkable when l truthfully say the height of the cotton gone over was from 4 to feet. .''
 MT. Yancey said further that Birming- hams Commercial club would not let this opportunity pass, as they could readily zee the vast benefit accruing from the estab- lishment of the plant for making this ma chinein this city. It will give hundreds of people work at good salaries, and not only this, but the plant of which he was the representative and the other plant at Avondale would be compelled to put on additional force and enlarge their plants in order to make cleaners to fill the vacancy.
