Washington, Jan. ~, 1895.
Congressional Indignation over the
news of the blood shed in Hawaii has
for the time overshadowed the found
ering Of the democrats in their futile
attempts to get up some sort of a fl
nancial bill, and will probably con-
tinue to do so for few days. The
tardy action of the administration in
ordering the Philadelphia to proceed
to Honolulu, which was virtually fore
ed by the angry protests of democrat
ic Senators and representatives., is
accepted as tacit acknowledgment
OF the blunder made in not kee ping a
warship there for months past, but it
is an acknowledgements not creditable
to the administration from any point
of view. Among the democrats who
have not hesitated to criticise the
course Of the administration are Re-
preventative Livingston of Georgia,
who says that he thinks it the duty of
this government to take charge of
Hawaii, either by annexation or by
the establishment of a protectorate,
and Sickles, of New York, who said:

MAPLE SUGAR MAKERS.

The third annual meeting OF the
Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Asso-
citation was held at White River juno
ton Thursday afternoon and evening,
Jan. 10. Capt. Frank Kenfield of
Morrisville, presided and delivered
his annual address. Among other
interesting things he said:-
''This organization is but fairly
started, yet it is out of debt, and with
the aid of the state appropriation
should be able to do good work for
the maple sugar industry of our state,
which is only second to that of dairy
products. There is at present seri
Gus stagnation in the sugar line, as in
many others, yet am hopeful for the
future. Our State takes the lead in
the maple sugar product. Our pres
ent yield is equal to Is, ,OeO, 900 pounds.
This amount can be materially in
creased if the demand warrants it,
To help in this matter the making of
a more uniform and finer quality will
be very essential. If we could only
get rid of the counterfeit product it
would help us very greatly. Chicago
is said to have more of what is styled
"maple" sugar than Vermont. This
is too bad. LCongress should take
hold and enact a 'prohibitory' law.
AS to the failure of the government
to pay the bounty, much dissatisfac-
tion was expressed. 1T is unjust and
should be paid. Over $50, 900 are due
Vermont sugar makers under the
bounty law"
Several interesting addresses and
papers on topics pertaining to the
organization followed this.
Hon. V. l. Spear read letter from
Judge Powers concerning the maple
sugar bounty and the probable cost
of making test case in the courts.
In his Judgment there is no question
of recovering the bounty in this way,
but he was of the opinion that with
out this proceeding the bounty would
eventually be paid. He thought it
would not be best to commence liti-
CATION, at least this year, but await
further developments.
A letter from Senator Edmunds was
also read. He was doubtful if con-
gress would pay this bounty, however
honestly due, and advised a test case.
Messrs. F. Kenfield, Geo. Soule and
V. I. Spear were appointed to investi-
gate and prosecute the claims if they
thought advisable.
Among the addresses were interest
ing ones from State Supt. Stone and
w. III. Parker of Cambridge.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, Capt.
Frank Kenfield, Morrisville; vice
presidents, one from each county, w.
III. Parker being the one from La
noble; secretary, A. j. Croft, Enos-
burgh Falls; treasurer, v. I. Spear,
Braintree; auditor, G. L. Nc Mahon,
Stowe.
1t was voted to pay the secretary
S25 year for his services and ex
penses.
Among the prizes awarded were the
following to people in this vicinity:
1st prize for stirred sugar, S. K.
Vaughn, Hyde Park; best cake sugar,

WOMAN7.S THRIFT.

The annual report of the Massachu-
st issued, makes known the fact
hat of all the depositors in the Bay
tate banks nearly one-half are wo-
hen; and that their deposits is about
per cent of the total savings.
This is an average deposit for each
Foman depositor of about S69.5O in
1he year 1894. AS the average depos-
Il for the total number depositors for
hat year was little less than $72, it
will be seen that the women of Mas
Bachusetts are holding their own
pretty well in the matter of savings.
The total deposits in the Massachu-
belts savings banks is S416, ,774 ,O17, and
the total number of all the depositors
is 1,247 ,090, giving an average de-
posit to each account of 1884. 20. If
The same proportion hold good among
the total number of 'depositors and
the total deposits that is seen among
the depositors and deposits of last
year, then there must be about 900, 600
women depositors in the savings
banks of Massachusetts, and their
savings must amount to S1S7, 600, 900.
This, if measurably accurate, IS a re-
markable showing, and taking into
account the lower wages paid to wo-
men, it gives striking proof of the
economy and sagacity of women.

SONS OF VERMONT.

The praises af the Green Mountain
State were sung last Thursday night
in verse and speech at the fifth annu-
al banquet of the Brooklyn Society Of
Vermonters at the historic Pouch gal
lery on Clinton avenue. A host of
prominent men and women surged
through the spacious rooms of the
beautiful mansion and were introduc
ed to the special guests of the even
ing, Lieut.. Gov. Mansur of Vermont.
At 7:3O p. ma splendid banquet was
served in the large ball room, which
was handsomely decorated for the
purpose. At 10 O'Clock, President
Robert J. Kimball introduced the
speaker of the evening, Governor
Woodbury.. He said in substance:
''I am sure that the people of Ver-
mont, if they knew that I was here
to- night, would have me extend to
you their warmest greetings. They
have a warm place in their hearts for
those Sons of Vermont who have en-
igrated to other States to better their
condition. Our people appreciate all
the affection you still retain for the
Green Mountain State and of all the
men of Vermont Ethan Allen is our
chief idol. The conspicuous part that
he bore in the struggle of Vermont
to establish her rights to the lands
granted by the governor of New
Hampshire and in her subsequent
struggle to maintain her independ-
ence and gain admission into the I'm
ion, had endeared him in the heart of
every Vermonter. To-day the people
of Vermont possess in a great degree
the characteristics of their ancestors.
] make the statement advisedly
when say that no State in the Union
equals Vermont in purity of politics.
It is an unknown thing for money or
other immoral influence to be used in
our elections, except very rarely in
the large towns. In seven eighths Of
all the towns such a thing as bribery
is unknown. Our legislators are alb
solute1y incorruptible.5 Vermont is
Justly proud of the influence she has
eXerted in the councils of the nation
for the past fifty years. Though one
of the smallest of all the States in
population and acreage she has ex-
erted an influence in Congress not
equalled by any other State, however
large. In politics Vermont is conced-
ed to be Republican and had New York
gone as strongly Republican last fall
as Vermont did, Gov. Morton would
have had over 600, 900 majority.'
Senator Redfeld Proctor was the
next speaker. He spoke of the re-
nowned men Vermont had sent forth
and of the influence she had eXerted
in national politics.
Among the other speakers Of the
evening were Lieut.. Gov. Mansur,
Hamilton Ormsbee, and Mayor Schi-
eren of Brooklyn.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Bankers estimate that the exports
of gold this week will be from 81, ,0O0,
900 to $4,000, 600. Already withdraw
ais from the Treasury have reduced
the actual reserve of gold to about
SIS, 1000, 600. If the expected shipments
later in the week are made, the re-
serve will be smaller than it was
when the first bond issue was found
necessary last January, for $50, $50, 175
gold was on hand, and smaller. than
it was last November, when the Pre-
sident issued second call for bonds,
and the actual reserve was S62, ,001, 107.
1t had dropped to S57, ,667 700 No
vember %, before the rec eipts from
bonds sold started recovery. But if
it was necessary to issue bonds when
the reserve was only S65, 600, 900 last
January, and when it was only S62,
600, 600 last November, the President
may be expected to live up to the
pledge of his last message, that other
issues of bonds would be made" when
ever "and as often as It becomes ne
reserve, and in abundant "time to
save the credit of our country and
''make good the financial declarations
of our Government"
Thus it has taken just year to ex-
haust about SIG, 100000 received for
bonds sold, leaving the Treasury no
better off than it was when the call
was made year ago. Of course it is
worse off, because it has additional in
terest of $4,000, 900 year to pay on
the bonds issued, and has besides a
revenue law under which within five
months the deficit has been S44, $780,
600. In the previous seven months
under the old tariff the deficit had
been S17, 1928, ,OO2. But it is obvious
that this deficit of s62, 300, 600 in a

How much of the form of war that is
kept up in our army and navy in time
of peace-but more especially in the
armies and navies of Europe-is medic
val nonsense! Aman expresses adverse
opinions of the government and he is
guilty of treason. He criticises his Off
GERS, he is a mutineer. He takes a day
off or gets drunk like an everyday citi-
zen, and he is sent to prison and put on
low diet and subjected to indignities
that the plain citizen would never have
to endure, because his fellows would
allow it. He has a speck of mud on his
boots or his gloves and he is fined. or
lectured like a schoolboy, perhaps be-
fore all of his comrades. Finally he
gets tired of so much government and
so little pay and goes away, taking
nothing with him but a suit of clothes
worth possibly IS, that he would much
rather leave behind, and if he is found
he is made to go back and finish his
term, and then he goes TO prison for
years and years.-Brooklyn Eagle.
