The gold production throughout
the world for the calendar year Will
exceed $2OO,OOO,O00. Now if the
socialists could only have their way,
how nicely this might be divided up
between US
IT cost the administration $SS, 7S9
to learn that the income tax was I'M
constitutional but, as remarks an
exchange, this Democratic blunder is
so small compared with some of the
Others, that it will attract little at
tention.
Americans spend at least $50, OOO,-
600 a year in visiting Europe, and
hardly 100000 year at our
own natural wonders of Niagara, the
Yosemite Valley and Yellowstone
Park. Most of the tourists at these
home resorts are Europeans. Among
the 5000 visitors to the Yellowstone
Park during the last three years, 1T is
said that only sixty were Americans.
Gov. Woodbury. has appointed
Myron M. Parker special aide-de-
camp upon his staff. Col. Parker is a
resident of Washington, but is well
known in this county, being son
of the late NJ. V. Parker of Cam
bridge. The Colonel has an excellent
war record, is an out-and-out Yer
monter, and in appointing him the
Governor has made an excellent Sc
lection.
Grasshoppers are unusually nu-
merous in Vermont, but as yet no Sc
rious damage is reported from their
depredations. Over in New York
they are doing a vast amount OF
damage. In some localities the
fences, trees, the fields and even the
roadbeds are covered with them. 1t
is thought the dry weather hassome-
thing to do with prolonging the ex-
istence of the pests.
The initial number of "The YER
monter," Col. Forbes new monthly,
is out. 1t is devoted to state inter
ests and is replete with fine illustra-
tions and interesting reading matter,
all pertaining to Vermont. 1t is a
handsome piece of Typography and
reflects great credit upon the Messen-
ger Co., of st. Adams, it's printers.
As the price of this interesting maya
zine is only one dollar a year it will
command large circulation, and we
bespeak for it great success.
According to the returns received
by the Agricultural Department at
Washington the potato acreage this
year is eight per cent. larger than
last year, only seven states showing
a decline. The general condition of
the crop is 91K on the basis of 100
per cent. as an ordinary crop. The
general average is decreased by low
averages in some of the chief pro-
ducing states. For instance, that in
Illinois is only 81. The cause is
ascribed to frost and drought.
The names of the Presidents who
have held office longer than Mr..
Cleveland has thus far, are George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Jas.
Madison, Andrew Jackson and Ulys-
ses S. Grant. Senator Quay says
that the father of Marion Cleveland
will be the next Democratic nominee,
and that he will be the strongest man
the party can run. We opine it won't
matter much who the Democracy
runs, but all the same we can hardly
believe Quay's statement as to
strength.
4 new law which goes into effect in
Florida October / makes it crimi-
nal offense for white child to attend
a school where colored children are
being educated. This is a direct
thrust at one of the best educational
institutions in it's state-the academy
at Orange Park-which has been
very successful and has opened it's
doors alike to white and black. The
fact that the school is under the
management of northern people il
evidently the cause of the new law
The legality of the law will be con
tested in the courts, and that it will
be set aside is the earnest hope O.
every loyal citizen.
