GLORIOUS PROGRESS.

GLORIOUS PROGRESS.
The Political Pendulum Swinging
Back Toward silver,
Special Correspondence,
The spring elections show that
free silver has made tretnendots
gains because of the ignomirdnious
failure of the ''sound money" pre-
dictions, and that the voters already
have realized the terrible mistake
which was made last November.
Last fall Mckinley had twenty
thousand majority in Cincinnati
aud on Monday the Democrats car
ried the city by over seven thous.
and. Canton, the home of Presi-
dent Mckinley, was carried by the
Democrats, as was also Columbus,
GAINESVILLE, Hamilton and nearly all
the Ohio cities in which elections
were held. The silver men are jus
plant over the prospect that they
will carry the state next fall, did
prevent the election of Hump Back
Hanna to the senate, where he is
now holding seat by appointment.
But it was in Chicago that the
tories received the worst drubbing.
Last November the city gave a Nc
Kinley majority of sixty thousand
on the promise that the election of
"The Advance Agent of Rrosperi-
ty" would instantly restore conf
dence and prosperity. This winter
there has been more misery and
suffering in that city than was ever
known before, over eighty thousand
people d week being fed by the po-
lice department alone, to say moth
ing of the thousands of others who
were supported by the churches and
other charities. This experience
was lesson to the voters of Chica-
go, and they elected Carter H. Har-
'rison, son of the late mayor and
Democratic leader, on q straight
free silver platform by plurality
of eighty thousand. There was
three other candidates, Decoy Duck
Hesing running ona business mems
ticket, Sears on the straight Repub.
iican ticket, and Harlan nominated
at the last as an "anything-to-beat-
Harrison" nominee. Harrison's
vote was over two thousand more
than all the others combined.
Representatives of one hundred
clubs that supported Bryan and
Sewall last fall met at New York
city on April 5 and organized the
Progressive Democratic League of
New York city. Aside from the
single tax clubs and the labor or
ganizations which took part In the
last campaign. there were about 400
Bryan and Sewall clubs organized.
While only one-half of these were
represented, the leaders of the
movement say that the other 100
and the seventy-five clubs not dis
tinctively classed - for Bryan and
Sewall will fall In line. The lead.
ers believe that the new movement
will assume immense proportions,
and that the independent vote cast
next fall, If political circumstances
should make 1t necessary for such
vote to l,e cast, will exceed by 6S,-
600 the vote cast for Henry George
in 1886. The convention adopted
a declaration Of principles affirming
allegiance 70 :....c n....;oa.l Demo-
cratic platform in 1896. It was an
nounced that If the Greater New
York bill becomes law the league
will consolidate with the Brooklyn
Democratic league.
The japanese are no tyros In
matters Of finance. Instead Of
adopting gold basis, as the gold
organs have been alleging, they
have adopted a silver bimctalllc ba-

New Books,

The American Book company of
New York has issued geography
TOR primary work entitled the Nat
ural Elementary Geography" by
Jacques w. Roadway, F. R. G. S..
based on new and fundamental
teaching. The subject matter is de.
veloped by natural and scientific
methods aided by novel mechanical
and artistic features unknown to
other elementary Biographies. The
style is interesting and graphic. 1t
is easily taught and understood.
The central idea is man, his history
customs, industries and geographical
relations. One OF the special features
is the maps; some giving correct
idea OF the comparative areas of
countries; Others showing the dis
tribution of population and various
natural products. The illustrations
are drawn largely from nature, and
while they add much to the attrac.
tiveness OF the book, they are in

Poor Potato Crop.

Reports from all surrounding
towns indicate the poorest potato
crop in many years. The farmer
who is getting half crop is doing
well. Occasionally there is a crop
up to the average. but probably not
half dozen such in this section.
From reports received the potato
crop throughout the other New Eng
land states will not average much
better than in Vermont. A late issue
of the United States climate and crop
bulletin has the following concerning
Vermont crops:
In Vermont the nights have been
so cool that corn is gaining slowly.
A few days will place nearly all of it
beyond injury from frost. A fair
crop OF rowen has been gathered ;
also oats. Potatoes are estimated
to be half crop. Some farmers are
placing them in cold storage. Grain
is generally good, although some is
not well filled. The common varie.
ties of grapes do not show good
color; plums and pears are doing
well. Apples small crop. Second hay
crop good.

many friends of the college think a
change in the administration would
be desirable, and when the trustees
make this change it would especially
please his ST. Johnsbury friends to
have DR.. Lamson chosen president.
He is splendidly equipped for such a
position and possesses that qualfca-

to the successful management of any
