The Central Vermont Railroad.

The action of the first mortgage bond
holders of the Central Vermont Rail-
road at the meeting held in Boston last
week Tuesday, whereby, so far as these
first mortgage bond-holders are con-
cerned, and 80 far as their vote can con-
troll, the Central Vermont passes into
the hands of the Grand Trunk Railway
of Canada, has been the theme of pro-
life discussion throughout the daily and
weekly press of New England ever
since that time.
From the mass of information and
INSTRUMENTATION that has been pub
lished during the past week on the
subject, the WATCHMAN has faithfully
endeavored to get at the exact truth in
the case for the benefit of its readers,
who, like every one else in Vermont,
take vital interest in the final DISPOSE
ton of the matter, and the following
may be regarded as authentic.
The original proposition for the re-
organization of the Central Vermont
Railroad Company presented at the
meeting of certificate holders, held in
Boston, Tuesday, October 5, was in
substance as follows:
A new corporation is to be formed in
which is to be vested the title to all the prop
erty of the Consolidated Railroad Company
OF Vermont and the title to or the beneficial
right to use without payment of rent all the
branches of the said railroad and the lease
hold estate in the New London Northern
Railroad, which new corporation will mako
a new mortgage conveying all its property
then owned or to be thereafter acquired to
secure an issue Of bonds to the amount OF
ten million dollars, payable in gold coin in
twenty-one years from February /, 1898,
and bearing interest at the rate OF four per
| cent per annum, payable quarterly in like
gold coin.
| Also second mortgage to secure two is-
sues OF adjustment bonds payable in
| twenty-one years from their date in gold,
with interest at four per cent per an
mum, payable also in gold out of the net in
come of the company, of which portion
amounting to 81, 100000, shall be known as
| Series A, aud the rest amounting to 80, OO0,-
900 as Series b.
| The holders Of the first mortgage fl We per
cents bonds are to receive eighty-five per
cent OF the principal of their bonds in

since the Sun has been under Mr..
Dana's guiding hand it has been con-
sidered the model newspaper of the
United States. Mr.. Dana had no pa
thence with "new journalism" but he
kept the Sun steadily abreast of the
progress of events, and in his life and
work his newspaper personality was
unmatched. No other journal in the
United States has been 80 accurate
reflector of public questions. Nothing
similar to Mr.. Dana's journalism ex-
listed before it, and it is not probable
that we shall see its like again.
The gold reserve touched another
notch in its upward movement last
week, having crossed the SI50,000,000
line. In April last, shortly before the
gold expectation began, the reserve
was S6,OO0,00O higher than it is now,
but as gold is coming into the country
at present, instead of going out, and as
this movement is likely to continue
several months, the reserve stands a
chance to go far beyond last Aprils
figures. More than 100000 of gold
was shipped from London last week for
the United States. One explanation Of
this sudden beginning of imports on so
large a scale, is that the gold is brought
here on account of the foreign members
of the syndicate, who propose to buy
the Union Pacific railroad. AS the
syndicate doubtless proposes to sell
here good portion of the securities to
be issued on the recognized property,
it must naturally desire to keep the
money as plentiful as possible in Amer
lean markets. Whether or not this is
the main reason for the present move
ment, gold must inevitably soon come
from Europe in large quantities in the
regular settlement of merchandise bal
ances.
THE South is realizing return of
prosperity. There is marked revival
of industrial activity in that section and
new enterprises are being projected.
This is a distinct result of the new
tariff law, under the operation of which
there is every reason to expect re-
markable industrial development in the
Southern states. AT present the cot
ton mills of the South work up over one
million bales of cotton year, about
double what they consumed in 1890,
and more than half the quantity taken
by Northern mills. If progress in cot
ton manufacture in the South contip-
ues to increase, during the next five
years, at the rate it has in the last five,
it will overtake the production of the
cotton mills in the North. Most of the
mills in the South have been estab.
lished with Northern capital and more
will go there for investment in this
branch of industry. The indications
are that this years cotton crop will ap'
proximate 100000 bales, large gain
over last years crop, and it must surely
follow that with development of its
resources and the building up of its in
dustries there will come a growth Of
sentiment in the South favorable to the
policy of protection. There is already 6
very considerable element of the popu
lation there favorable to protective
tariff and there can be no doubt tina
this number will be increased as thu
merits of protection become more fully
demonstrated.

BEFORE leaving Cuba General Wey-
Ter stated that he could end the war in
that island, if left in command four
months longer. AS the cost has been
81, 100000 per month and continued
failure probable, Spain would evidently
rather try some other plan.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1897-10-20

THE question is frequently asked
what the Sagasta ministry expects to
accomplish by sending Marshal Blanco
to Cuba to do what General Weyler
with 100000 soldiers failed to do.
Blanco was dead failure in the Phil
lipine islands. He was never fighter
as is General Weyler, yet, if his mis-
sion is one of peace, why should he ask
for 10000 more soldiers than General
Weyler hadp Sagasta's game is still
young, but there are no indications
that he is in any less of quandary
than was his predecessor. 1t is sug-
gested in certain quarters that he is
only seeking to temporize to gain time,
and, meanwhile, the American eagle
is invited to rest on its perch and wait
until something turns up. There is
little probability however that the Gu
bans will accept an offer of autonomy
from Spain without guarantee from the
United States, and Spain is evidently
not disposed to make the offer on these
terms.
The death of Charles A. Dana,
editor of the New York Sun, removes
man who, since the close of Horace
Greeley's life, has been foremost in
American journalism. He was man
who, outside of the offices of his New
York contemporaries, was considered
by newspaper men the world over az
the greatest editor of his time, and
