GEN. CIRCUITS SYSTEM.

During the lull of business in the
House Gen. circuit Of Vermont has
been spending much time travelling
about his district and looking into the
numerous contests for Post Offices in
which he will be called on to make
recommendation for appointment,
and since his return a few days ago
he has had a lot of interesting ex-
periences to tell his friends in Con-
gress.
Gen. Grout has always been a be-
lever in the policy of letting the
patrons of every office determine, so
far as they are able, who shall handle
their mails. In every Congress, since
the Fifty first, he has introduced a
bill providing for the appointment of
fourth class Postmasters in accord
ance with the decision of the majority
of each office at primary election.
The bill apparently is as far from
enactment as ever, but he is carrying
out it's provisions SO far as he can in
his own district now that he has the
opportunity. 1t isn't an easy thing,
and it doesn't relieve him of labor
or responsibility, but he is determin-
ed to give the system fair trial, and
he has gone about it with character
istic energy and thoroughness.
Wherever possible he has a caucus
called. When this is not feasible he
allows the decision to be made by pc
tition, the appointment going to the
one who secures the signatures of the
greatest numbers of patrons. But the
petitions on which he acts are differ
emit from most, in that they are scrut-
inized with the greatest care. Every
signature is identified and classified,
so that the character of the candl-
dates support is known unmistak-
ably. Each carefully certified name
carries just as much weight as any
other. There is no opportunity for
favoritism. Wherever an especially
lively contest develops, the Congress
man makes a personal visit to the
scene of conflict. His plan is not like
ly to be generally followed, because
it deyolves too much conscientious
investigation and toll on the part of
the Representative, but the Vermont
er's friends are watching his expert
ment with a deal Of curiosity. Boston

COTTON GOODS SITUATION.

The movement to curtail produc-
ton among the cotton mills OF Ne"
England has not yet reached the
point of cuncerted action, though
many of the manufacturers have al
ready reduced their hours or have
thut down altogether.
Advocates of a general shut down
point to the meagre showing made
in the report of dividends paid by the
mills for the past quarter, from which
it appears that SO corporations have
paid to stockholders 1892. $50. or an
average of Is of one per cent. on a
capital of $22, 1873, OoO-one of the
slimmest showings in the history of
the business, and indicating that the
surplus accounts from which divi-
dends have been drawn in the past
have either been used up or are
needed for other purposes. Fifteen
of the mills, among which are some
so equipped as to produce goods
economically, under the stress of hard
times, have passed their dividends
entirely, and the stockholders in near
ly every other instance have had to
be satisfied with about the smallest
dividend possible.
Referring to this matter, a promi-
nent cotton mill treasurer says that,
while no agreement had been made or
is likely to be made between the
various mills, there have been some
limitations that a curtailment would
not be entirely unwelcome or fail of
pretty general endorsement. The
business as it is conducted affords no
profit, and while there is apparently an
undercurrent of returning confidence
and it's attendant prosperity, it can
not be fully realized until manufac-
turers' stock throughout the country
are smaller than they are at present,
and better prices are obtainable.
Manufacturers stocks can be re-
duced only by means of a more gen
eral demand throughout the coun-
try. Under present conditions
general demand is impossible and
can be stimulated only by the passage
of the tariff bill so that all industries
may know exactly what conditions
are to govern production until 1901,
at least. The condition Of the cotton
goods manufacturers is no worse than
that of the masters of production in
other lines. Everybody is waiting
for the tariff bill-Statesnean.

ENGLAND's HOSTAGE TO PEACE.

An address on 1.-THE Food Supply in
Case of War; was delivered on We'd
nesday by Mr.. Stanley Machin before
meeting of the London Chamber of
Commerce, which was held at Botolph
House, Eastcheap. Mr.. John Mccall
presided. Mr.. Machin stated that in
1856 the acreage under cultivation of
wheat in the United Kingdom was AZ
1855 acres, capable of producing
in an average season about 10000 900
quarters, or four fifths of the total
consumption of the country at that
time. The acreage decreased in 1866
to 3,949, 1874, in 1876 to 8, la 800, in 1886
to 1855, 451, while last year only 1893
957 acres were under cultivation for
wheat, which might be expected to
produce between 5,000,O 600 and 6,000,-
600 quarters, or less than quarter Of
what was now consumed. If this
country were at war with France and
Russia, one of the first acts of the
enemy would be to declare coal and
wheat contraband of war. Estimat-
Jul VI WAOdU w O0
nearly 100000 quarters a week, and
allowing for existing stocks, we should
require 10000, 900 quarters to carry
us over the time between now and
the ingathering of the next harvest.
In the event of the United States and
Russia joining hands against this
country we should be confronted by
the two powers who between them
controlled rs per cent of the total corn
supplies required by importing coun
tries throughout the civilized world;
and in the event of these powers
jointly prohibiting the export of
wheat, he did not hesitate to say that
starvation would compel this country
to sue for an unconditional peace
within three months without a gun
being fired.
If he were asked to state the cause
which more than any other prevented
the profitable cultivation of land in
the United Kingdom he should un-
hesitatingly say the exorbitant charg-
es which farmers were called upon to
pay under the existing railway sys-
tenn. Happily the foreign meat sup
ply might be said to be largely in our
hands, and a meat famine in this
country need never be feared, always
provided that we could keep COM
mand of the sea. The chief points he
desired to make clear were the alter
ed conditions under which the food of
the nation was now provided, the
danger we incurred through our de-
pendence on two great foreign
powers, and the possible Withholding
of supplies; the grave risk which
arose from our present shortness Of
stocks, the necessity for providing
government reserves of corn, and for
encouraging the increased production
at home and in the colonies, and the
vital necessity of having navy fully
capable of protecting our shores and
our commerce against any combina-
ton to which it was likely to be op
posed. A discussion ensued, at the
close of which the following resolution
was passed on the motion of Mr.. Ma
chin, seconded by Mr.. Edward Lee:
"That, in the opinion of this meeting,
the dependence of the United King
dom on foreign imports for the neces-
saries of life, and the consequences
that would arise therefrom in the
event of war, demand the serious at
tention of her Majesty's govern
ment.

Senator Vests Fish Story.

Senator Vest has a fish story which
he tells with great deal of gusto and
seems to enjoy it hugely himself at each
repetition. can old darky, fishing in
the Missouri, caught big catfish,
weighing about five pounds. He tied
string through its gills, and, fastening
the string to d stake on the river bank,
left the fish swimming about while he
went farther down the river to find an
other good fishing place. A small boy,
who had also been fishing, came along
with one pound catfish. Spying the
string, he pulled it up and lost no time
in exchanging the little fish for the big
one, promptly leaving the scene for
home.
''Soon after the old darky came back
and pulled up his fish to take it home
He beheld with astonishment the size
Of his catch, and as soon as he could
find his voice he calculated:
& Dress me, but dat alb catfish am
