The Mother Of States.

Statistics of vermonters living be-
yond her borders, particularly in the
West, and the fact that, in proportion
to her population, Vermont has con-
tributed more than any other state to the
settlement of the national domain and
erecting it into governments, entitle
her to distinction as the Mother of
States. The census bureau, in the fol-
lowing table, shows how Vermonters
are distributed throughout the states

The Nicaragua Canal.

Every true American, in every rank
in life, has patriotic pride and inter-
est in every enterprise that con-
tributes to the glory and conduces to the
power and advancement of the nation.
In this national spirit millions whose i'm
mediate personal fortunes may be made
neither better nor worse by the con-
struction of the Nicaragua Canal are
taking an ardent interest in the move
ment for the co npletion of the water
way across Central America which
shall immensely shorten in time and
distance commercial communication in
ships between the republics Atlantic
and Pacific coasts, and which shall
give the American navy quick and
ready admission to the Pacific to attack
an enemy or defend the growing ma
tional interests in that quarter. Above
the clamor over questions of finance
and tariffs, the people have marked with
feelings in which the national pride
has been uppermost, in which partisan
ship has paled its fires, the course of
the debate in the senate on the measure
for affording government aid to this
great enterprise, in order to insure its
completion, at some not far distant day,
under the patronage and supreme con
troll of these United States, and they
have marked with profound satisfac-
ton the passage of the measure in that
body by decisive vote.
In the house of representatives. the
bill 80 ably and patriotically championed
by Senator Morgan encounters SIM
liar proposition embodied in a plan
presented by Representative Mallory.
The final passage of either bill at this
session of congress, is less matter of
agreement between the two houses
than of time for proper consideration
of measure of such magnitude. Only
somewhat more than three weeks of
the session are remaining. Briefly
summa rized, the provisions of the senate
bill are the following: The capital of
the reorganized Maritime Canal Com
pany of Nicaragua is 100000 900, in
shares of 800 each. OF this stock
Nicaragua is allotted 100000 Costa
Rica Sl,500,000, the present stock
holders, in extinguishment of their
stock, sum not to exceed $1,000 900,
and the United States $40, 900, 900.
The remainder will be sold to create a
construction fund. The Unite States
pays for its stock by endorsing $780,
900, 900 of the company's bonds at three
per cent interest, payable quarterly.
The bonds are payable July l, 1924,
but may be redeemed after July l,
1904. Checks are interposed upon a
too rapid issue of the securities, which
are secured by mortgage upon all the
company's property. A maximum
sum of "a 100000 is to be paid the
present company for expenditures made
since June 3, 1889. The exact sum is
to be ascertained by an accounting.

REHABILITATION BY GROUPS.


One hardly need be told that in the
cities of New York and Brooklyn the
Vermont element is relatively incon-
siderable, being less than 1000 in
Gotham and about 1000 in the City of
Churches and - lately-railway riots.
There are, however, many Vermonters
of the first rank in both cities, and in
Brooklyn they have reared their altar
and upon it annually burn incense to
the old Green Mountain State. But
the leaven of honesty and uprightness
in all the affairs of life, it is painfully
evident, is too small to leaven 30 large
lump of citizenship, constituted, after
the recent democratic dogma, of free
raw materials imported from every
nationality of Europe. 1t is asking too
much, even of Vermont leaven, to
raise 80 large and sodden mass.

mand Equality Under the Law.
PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-A representa-
tive meeting of the Atlantic coast ship
ping interests was held at the Maritime
Exchange yesterday to take action In Sc
curing equitable protection through ma
tional legislation for agriculture and ship
ping. Captain w. W. Bates was unani-
mously elected chairman and Alexander
X. Smith secretary of the meeting.
Among the well known ship builders
present were Mr.. Alfred E.. Cox of East
Boston, Charles w. Pussy of Whining
ton, Del, Charles H.. Cramp of Philadel-
phta, John Fl. Dialogue, of Camden, N.
J., and f. w. Wood of Sparrow's Point,
Nd.
Mr.. Leonard Rhone, chairman of the
executive committee of the National
Grange and master of Pennsylvania State
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, and Mr..
David Lubin, of Sacramento, Cal, urged
that a tariff on imports cannot protect a
product, a portion of which is an export,
and that a bounty be placed on the ex-
ports OF agricultural products TO protect
the American farmer and enable him to
compete against the cheap labor of foreign
countries.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that
the depressed condition of the staple ag-
ricultural and shipping interests demand
the enactment of such legislation as will
put both these great industries upon a
footing of equality with those now
specially fostered by the government.
Since neither of the two great unpro'
tected industries can derive n benefit
from a tariff on imports, we call upon con-
gress to equalize the protection system by
extending to agricultural staples and
American shipping that just measure OF
protection to which they are entitled as
long as protection is the controlling and
public policy of this nation"
A committee of five was appointed to
act in conjunction with the executive
committee of the National Grange, Patrons
Of Husbandry to further the objects of the
resolutions.

OTTAWA, Ont, July S1.-Fhe prospects
are that sealskins will be dearer this year
than for several seasons past. The prin-
eipal factor in reducing quotations OF
skins last year was the unusually large
catch OF the Canadian s%ealers, amounting
to $1,000 skins, 49, 900 more than the catch
Of the previous year, and also double the
catch of 1892. At the department. of ma
rine and fisheries reports are carefully
watched of the sealing operations, and
there it is stated that the number of skins
taken this year, and likely to be taken in
Behring sea, will be considerably below
the catch of 1894. The coast catch, already
accounted for, is very much less.
