VermOnt's Statistical Report for 1895.

Hon. Victor l. Spear, statistical Sec
rotary of the Board of Agriculture, has
published his annual report of farm
sales, new industries and summer travel
in Vermont for the year 1895.
He finds, from the reports re-
ceived, that 1,677 farms have been sold
during the year, of which 1873 were
previously unoccupied. This number
is somewhat less than in former years,
due, quite likely, to the fact that a
smaller number of towns have reported.
BY reason of the pressure of other
work, the secretary sent blanks but
once, whereas in previous years he had
bombarded the non-reporting town
clerks with second, third and fourth
request for answers to his inquiries.
To the question as to the value of
farms as compared with other years,
129 town clerks report no change;
twenty-three that it is higher, and
twenty-nine that it is lower in their re-

towns favorably situated, usually near
some large manufacturing interest; the
decrease, in towns remote from such
interests or from the railways. The
secretary says it is probable that the
gain and loss are about equal; that it is
generally believed that investments in
well-located Vermont farms, at present
values, are safe, and that the tendency
toward lower values has been checked.
Notwithstanding the Announcements
of the past year in lower prices of
produce and unfavorable physical con-
ditions, A" the courage of the farmers of
the state has not failed, and but little
complaint has been heard at the insti-
tutes held about the state" The secre-
tary notes the interesting and encourage
ing fact that ga large number of young
men have engaged in farming during
the year" An improvement in the
methods of farming has been notice
able. The work of putting in cream
cries has gone forward, and the evil

Washington Notes.

SENATOR HILL is democratic
statesman of high degree, as statesmen
60 in that party. His term as senator
will close next March, and during his
nearly six years in the senate he has
been responsible for but one bill, and
that has not yet become law, although
it has passed the senate aud has been
favorably reported from the house COM
merce. And what think you is this
great and momentous piece of legisla-
ton that is to be the only reminder to
posterity-that is, if it becomes law
that David B. Hill served six years in
the senate? 1t authorizes the Sec
rotary of the treasury to detail a
revenue cutter TO control excursion and
other boats which attend yachtraces /.
IT is now certain that congress will
not adjourn on the date fixed, and 1t
is not probable that adjournment will
come until after June /, although the
senate could materially shorten the ses.
sion if 80 disposed; but, owing to no
party having majority in the senate,
no man can say what it will or will not
do with any degree of certainty of the
correctness of his assertion. There
have been vague rumors of deliberate
intention to prolong the session until
after the national conventions have
been held by starting up a financial
discussion, but none of the leaders on
either side take any stock in such a
scheme, and senators as wide apart in
their general ideas as Mr.. Allison of
Iowa and Mr.. German of Maryland
agree in expressing the opinion that
congress will adjourn before the meet
ing of the st. Louis convention.

The Situation to Date.

General Grosvenor, the political sta
tistician of the Mckinley forces, is
claiming clear majority for his chief,
even if every contested seat is decided
against him. By states and territories
the Mckinley vote, General Grosvenor
claims, aggregates 548, in addition to
which at least 20 votes east of the Ale
ghenies are sure to be cast for him.
Included in this estimate are 60 con-
tested seats, some of which will be sur
rendered to Mckinley. But assuming
that all will be decided against him, there
would still remain 4SS uncontestd, in
structed and pledged votes on the first
ballot Seventy-two delegates remain
to be chosen. OF these General Gros-
venor says Mckinley will have 80, max
ing 53S beyond all controversy, a
sweeping majority of the 91S delegates
that will compose the convention. This
is easy ciphering. But the anti Nc
Kinley forces do not yet surrender to
its logic. The Reed mathematician
gives to Mckinley but 361 votes, about
100 short of majority. Should Nc
Kinley get all the delegates yet to be
chosen he would still fall short of a
majority. The friends of Reed and
Morton argue that Mckinley is an ex-
tremist in protection; that his finan-
cial views are not as pronounced in
favor of a sound currency as the con-
servative opinion of the country de-
mands; that from now on till the meet
ing of the convention, about month
hence, these things will work to the
disadvantage of the Ohio candidate,
and he will fail to receive the votes of
a majority of the delegates of the con.
vention when that body begins to de-
liberate seriously and to reflect that in
the four months of time that will pass
before the election the candidate NOM
mated will be subjected to g political
search light of greater intensity than has
ever before been turned upon any can
didate for the Office of president. The
delegates consulting together, and hay
ing regard for the future, will realize
that the candidate should be a
wise, temperate, conservative, educated
statesman, with definite policies, fixed
opinions and a safe record" So the
forces opposed to Mckinley argue, and
build up hopes of the elimination and
recession of the Mckinley tide, before
the first ballot is taken at ST. Louis.

that "the condition of the Vermont
farmer will not suffer in comparison
with that of farmers in other states"

new manufacturing enterprises in the
state, and that these enterprises are
furnishing employment to 1,010 per-

BRITISH RIFLE FAILS.

LONDON, July 25.-The question of
the stopping" capacity of a bullet
fred from the Lee-Metford rife, which
is now the standard arm of the British
infantry, has reached Il somewhat
acute stage. Wherever the rife has
been used against IA savage foe it has
proved comparatively ineffective. The

like it. Unless the bullet strikes a
