Peace once more reigns on Battle
Row. AL Crowell, who has had blood
in his eye for several weeks, is now
the hero of the hour. He has met the
enemy and they are his, "horse, foot,
and dragoon." Ever since the au-
thorities set the electric light poles
on Battle Row, Al has been sorely
grieved because of the particular
location of a pole on the road
in front of his premises. He de-
manded its removal 1.-TWO foot, one
way or tother," but his demands
we're ignored. He threatened all
manner of things, from chopping the
"durned thing down" to a lawsuit.
By keeping everlastingly at it, how
ever, he has finally come off victori-
GUS. On Monday the pole was moved
and placed just where AL wanted it in
the "fust place" OF course he is
happy over the result. He whiffs his
pipe as complacently as ever did an
Indian chief after a successful fight !;
the twinkle in his eye as he relates his
success in the great conflict awakens
pride and amazement in his hearers,
and small boys look up to him with
admiration as he walks into the vii
lage with the scalps of an entire
board of trustees dangling from his
belt. Al has won the day, and the
hero of Battle Row is ready for more
foes to conquer.

The Montpelier Waterman of last

ly suggests that a good topic for dis
cussion at the coming meeting of the
Press Association be foreign adver-
Using" The suggestion is a good
one and if considered by the associa-
tion might result beneficially to the
various state newspapers. Neverthe-
less it should be borne in mind that
discussion" alone will not bring
about the desired results, but along
with it must be good display of
backbone and "sticktoitiveness." No
newspaper of any standing can afford
to be gulled by the sugar, coated
words of the city advertising agent,
or to jockey on it's rates. A fixed
price not only brings the advertising
that pays, but keeps up the charac-
ter of the paper, which even adver-
tising agents respect.

DON'T WANT A SECOND TERM.

In an interview with a Free Press
representative last week Gov. Wood
bury heartily endorses the sugges-
ton that state Senators and Repre-
sentatlves be reelected. He believes
the interests of the state would be
much better served by this method
than by simply sending man to
Montpelier for one year. While he
believes there is considerable force in
the proposition that the unwritten
law which torbids the denomination
of Governors should be repealed, he
does not think it asimportant as the
retention of experienced legislators.
In his own case he does not desire nor
expect a denomination. He says
eff can perform the duties which
devolve upon the executive of this
state in satisfactory manner to its
people, | shall retire from the office
in October next without a regret"

1t seems that the usual way of vot-
ing down in old Kentucky has been
for each voter to name his choice to
the election officers, when it was put
down in the list as the voters choice.
This of course prevented any secret
ballot and very naturally Republi-
cans have had no good chance to
make their power felt. Last week
was the first time the secret ballot
was tried, and the Republicans not
only elected their Governor but have
a majority in the Legislature which
ensures Republican United States

The Republicans are to be rein
forced in the United States Senate
by two Senators from the new state
of Utah. The shrewd leaders do not
propose, however, to take charge of
legislation this winter-they will let
the Democrats have full innings while
Cleveland is in the White House. The
Democrats are awfulIy sick of poll
tics just now and would gladly turn
the organization over to the Repub-
licans and make them responsible for
the action of the Senate, but they
can't do it. Republicans are not to
be caught that way. Speaking of the
Senate, besides these two new Sena.
tors the Republicans will have added
to their number in 1897 Senator
from Ohio, and also one from Mary
land and one from Kentucky--thus
ensuring control of the United States
Senate for many years to come.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Jan. 14.-Gen-
eral James Harding, secre tary of the
state board of railway and warehouse
commissioners has fled with Gov
ernor Stone the annual report of that
body. The report shows that on
June 80, 1894, there were within the
state of Missouri, including main
lines and branches, LAB railroads,
which were controlled or operated by
fifty companies. The total mileage,
June 30, 1894, not including second,
third or fourth tracks. or sidings,
was 6,525.31. The net increase since
December 81, 1893. being 12I. SIS miles.

tents would hardly have been examined,
there being but five inspectors attached
to the Chicago warehouse and they
greatly overworked.
Not all the goods sent to the agencies
pass through the warehouses at all.
Sugar, for instance, and -four and cured
meats, plows, stoves, wagons and all
sorts of bulky and heavy things are in
spected either at the agencies or at the
place of manufacture. This saves both
time and heavy transportation bills.
Fresh meats for the agencies and schools
are bought alive, as rule, and some
times these cattle are shot by soldiers
for the Indians, who then skin and dress
the caroasses themselves. Nails. of
which the Indian department. uses many
tons yearly, are like the other heavy
goods with regard to inspection.
The acquisitions for this years sup
plies are now being prepared by the
agents. After completion these are pass
ed upon by the Indian commissioner
and confirmed by the secretary of the
interior, after which bids are advertised
for and the awards made to the lowest
bidders. These advertisements will be
issued some time in April, and by the
opening of warm weather the hard work
of the inspectors will begin. During the
summer time they are fairly driven with
work, and some of them have to travel
thousands of miles every season. By the
beginning of winter most of their work
is finished for the year, except as to hams
and shoulders, bacon, pork, corned beef
and the like. A large proportion of the
cured meats is bought in Chicago ev-
cry year, and therefore the Chicago in
spectors are obliged to spend good deal
of their time at the stockyard packing
houses.
The term Lowest bidder used
above, does not always mean simply the
one who offers his wares for the small
est price Every bidder must furnish
samples. and the quality of these sam
pies is always considered, together with
the cost. A full line of samples is fur
nished to the warehouses by each bid
der securing a contract, and 1t is by
means of comparison with these samples
that the inspectors are able to pass upon
the goods as furnished.
Although the New York warehouse is
not SO large as the one at Chicago in
point of capacity, yet in the busy season
it has more employees, the number being
between 80 and 80 as against perhaps a
dozen at Chicago. This is because of the
excess of clerical work done at the east
ern city H. D. Graves is superintend-
emit in New York and Henry M. Gaines
chief clerk.
In addition to the warehouses in the
two largest cities there are others at st.
Louis. st. Paul. Kansas City, Sioux
City, Omaha and San Francisco, besides
smaller ones in other places

warehouse in that hustling town. Al
though not in any sense headquarters of
the Indian department, the Chicago
warehouse is the largest supply depot
thereof, and its administration includes,
of necessity, close attention to an enor-
nous amount of routine detail work
Mr.. Cregier was having a confab with
one of his inspectors when l asked the
questions calling out the remark quoted
at the beginning Of this article, but he
dismissed the matter for the time being
and explained the workings of the In
dian warehouse system to me in his own
crisp fashion.
''You see, - he said, when Uncle
Sam took possession of the larger part
of the territory belonging to the noble
red man it was thought best to leave
certain areas untouched, where the said
red man-who, by the way, is almost
anything but red, as everybody knows
can live and hunt and fish and enjoy
life as he likes. This was arranged after
many powwows with many tribes, the
agreements between which and the gov
eminent are known as the Indian trea-
ties. In making the treaties the head
men of the various tribes stipulated that
in return for the splendid territories
given up by them Uncle Sam should
issue every year lot of rations and lot
of general supplies Then there are
quantities of supplies needed by the In
dian schools. The Indian warehouses,
or supply depots. are among the results
of these treaties.
81 came near saying that it would be
easier to tell what the government does
not furnish to the Indians than to give
list of the things that it does, but on
second thought / hardly believe that
would be correct. In fact, l am an
able to give list of either. At this
moment fail to recall anything what
ever that is not at one time or another
included among the Indian supplies, and
to tell you what is would require more
time than either you or l have at our
disposal But if you will go with Mr..
Whitney, my right hand man, he will
enlighten you, to some extent, by ex
hibiting a few of the samples now on
hand. The variety may not be so ex-
tensive as you will expect after what
have said, owing to the fact that the
present is the dull season, but you may
come across things here, even now, that
you had never supposed were supplied
to the Indians. -

STILL ANOTHER.
Senator Jones of Arkansas Has Bill
to Solve the Currency Problem.

Senator Jones of Arkansas Has a Bill
to Solve the Currency Problem.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lathe proba-
bilities are that the beginning of the
week will see the introduction of still
another currency bill in the senate.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, who, at
the critical stage of the tariff legisla-
ton, took the matter in hand and
harmonized the different elements so
as to bring definite results out of
decidedly chaotic condition, IS the
author of a new bill, and he comes to
the front this time as compromiser
and harmonizer. There have been
objections made to the bills prepared
by Senators Vest and Mcpherson on
the ground, in case of the Vest bill,
that it leans too much toward silver
and in the case of the Mcpherson bill
that it is too exclusively in the inter
est of bonds. Senator Jones real
ICES that silver and, bonds are
two antagonizing elements in
this question and his effort has
been to prepare a measure which
will, perhaps, not be all that the
friends of either cause would natur-
ally demand, but will, in the end, Sc
cure the support of both elements.
He has been in consulate with
many of the leaders of both of these
contending elements in the senate
and it is understood that his bill as
outlined to them has received very
favorable Endorsement from the rep
resentatives of all of the conflicting
interests.
In the interest of silver the bill pro-
vides for its unlimited coinage under
the condition that the holder of sill
yer bullion may take it to the mint
and have it coined into silver dollars,
the government retaining as seignior-
age the difference between the coin
age value of the bullion and its mar
ket value on the day that the bullion
is taken to the minis. The bill also
provides for the withdrawal from cir
culation of all greenbacls, treasury
notes and national bank notes below
$50 and the substitution of silver GER
tifcates in denominations of less than
$40, which are to be payable in silver.

/ letter suggesting that the govern
ment at once send special annexa-
ton envoy to Washington was pre-
scented to President Dole and the
executive council on Decem Der 21 by
the American League. The petition
is strong one and makes several
telling points. It sets forth that
sin ce the question of the islands
was in congress before many
fresh facts have come to light
and many members of the senate and
house have changed their minds upon
the subject. In every instance the
alteration of view has been from hos
tility to friendliness for Hawaii
Even the administration now has am
pie and jus tifiable grounds for treat
ing the matter differently and is now
in possession of reliable data. In 1898
it acted upon misrepresentation. The
petition further states that the send
ing of another commissioner will
force the treatment of the issue
strictly upon lit merits.
