Wednesday Night.

MONTPELIER, Nov. 2S.
Legislative business started in somewhat
| tardily on Monday afternoon by reason of
the lateness of trains from the south, and
both houses were a little short on mem
bers when the gavels fell. Not ripple of
excitement was noted in either branch,
but number of measures were disposed
Of In the senate quick and easy passage
was given the house bill requiring a fee
for the granting of special legislative char
ters, and that relating to the conveyance
of scholars to and from school: the upper
branch also passed its own bills regulating
the admission into this state of foreign
fidelity and annuity companies, and pro-
viding for the payment of expenses of sick
soldiers. The latter bill was a substitute
for one introduced early in the session,
and is much more carefully drawn than
the original measure, throwing such safe
guards about the process of payment as to
preclude the presentation of unwarranted
accounts. The judiciary committee in
troduced bill pntting all street railway
charters under the provisions of chapter
ITO of the Vermont Statutes.
The house passed several senate bills on
Monday afternoon, among them the fol-
lowing: Providing for abatement of nui-
sances by chancellor; forbidding the use
vi nacnlnes 1or winning money; relating
to insurance policies; concerning the dis
qualification of an officer in serving pro-
cess; defining the position of Norwich uni
versity as the military college of the state;
authorizing the purchase of a new state
seal; allowing the Ogdensburg & Lake
Champlain railroad company to hold stocks
and bonds of Vermont roads. A feature
OF the session in the house was the grant
ing of unanimous consent" to the intro
duction of bill to amend one of the acts
OF 1898! By some slip the bill enabling
Hardwick to incorporate as a village was
passed with defect in it, and this measure
was intended to rectify the error. The
house refused to read the third time the
bill creating state board of medical ex-
aminers.

During the presidential campaign of
1896 the Springfield Republican was
sound money paper, but with commendable
good temper and good sense it refused to
go into panic over the possibility of
free-silver victory, and steadily admonished
its readers that the silver men we're also
American citizens, and that the end of all
things for the Republic was not in sight
even though they should carry the day. At
the present time when its editorial page
has become prolonged daily shrek against
the horrors of 'imperialism," without one
hopeful sign within the range of its over
wrought Imagination, the Republican
ought to take spoonful of its own cheer
full anti-demnition.b bow-wows medicine of
1896 before each meal. 1t would help to
relieve the tension.

Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott, who succeeded
Henry Ward Beecher as pastor of Ply
mouth church in Brooklyn, resigned his
pastorate last Sunday, stating that his
physician had warned him that his health
was being undermined by the work, and
that to continue would be dangerous and
unjust to himself. When DR.. Abbott first
stood in Beecher's former place II years
ago, there were many who felt that he
must suffer by comparison. Confirmed as
pastor, he brought to the famous pulpit
a breadth of thought and wealth of era
tory and fervor which maintained Ply
mouth in its old and proud position as one
of the noted Christian temples of the
world

1t is understood that the war department
will report to Congress the draft of a bill
proposing the increase of the regular army
to 100000 men. There has, however,
been advanced suggestion, which meets
with some favor in military circles, to
make regular standing army of $1,000
men, and to have provisional army of
$4,000 men, the latter made up largely of
natives. of the islands where the United
States must do garrison duty. These
troops could be officered from the United
States army, and provision made to give
them increased rank and pay while on such
duty.

The sentiment in Europe, outside of
England, is against the acquisition of the
Philippines by the United States. VIM. t.
Stead, who has Just completed a tour of
all the leading European countries, says
he "did not meet a European who did not
receive the protestations of the genuine
sincerity with which the American people
entered on the war with more or less mock
ing incredulity" The bitterest hostility
of all was found at the Vatican. The
leading article in Temps, Paris, Monday,
was devoted to a severe arraignment of the
American attitude toward Spain. In it
America is made to appear as a merciless
conqueror imposing Draconian conditions
on helpless foe and "exacting the sigma
ture of treaty at the point of the bayo-
net" Temps adds: "The Spanish com
missioners should, in submitting protest to
the civilized world against the spoliation
of the weok by the strong"

No ocean disaster in recent years has so
touched the popular sympathy as has the
loss of the steamer Portland with all on
board in last Sundays dreadful storm.
What was the experience of the 100 or $50
souls on board as the vessel drifted across
Massachusetts, bay to its doom on Cape
Cod can never be known, but the imagina-
tion inevitably draws .ts own picture. The
loss of life was probably greater by at
least 80 than at first supposed. An accu-
rate list cannot be made up because the
only complete list of passengers was that
in the purser's register on board, and the
only source of information is the inquiries
of friends. The Boston Herald believes
that 1S6 souls were on board, los being
passengers and the remainder employees of
the steamer company. Other estimates are
from II to 20 less than this.

An Antidote For Poison.

II person swallows any poison
whatever, or has fallen into conyul-
sions from having overloaded the
stomach, an instantaneous remedy,
most efficient and applicable in large
number of cases, is a heaping tea
spoonful of common salt and as much
ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a
tcacupfool Of water, warm or cold, and
swallowed instantly. 1t is scarcely
down before it begins to come up.
bringing with it the remaining contents
of the stomach; and lest there be any
remains of the poison, however small,
let the white of an egg or teaspoon
full of strong coffee be swallowed as
soon as the stomach is quiet, because
these very common articles nullify a
large number of virulcnt poisons.

viewed the scenes spread out before
them

"Well, my dear, right at the foot of
that hill is the very place where we

that came down On us?"
eyes, sir, I was one Of them. We
sat up there on the top of the hill and
watched you cooking that supper, and
when we thought you had it done
about to our taste we come down to
join you"
"Well, tell me, my friend, said the
Union officer, 'swhere on earth did you
fellows come from. You must have
come up mighty sudden?"
"Well. I'll answer your question

when deaths hand was actually upon

hearts of his comrades, and inspired
them to superhuman effort, and they
dashed into the head Of the yankee

captured this gallant boy and his flag,

saving my command and the captured

won the fight, and not although he

enthusiastically endorsed by General
Hampton, recommending this boy for
promotion.

Driving Ont The Horse.

The price Of horses which had fallen
80 greatly in FIVE years was restored
considerably when the war with Spain
began. owing to the large purchases Of
the governm mt.
In the last few weeks, however,
prices have again declined. The gov
ernment is now selling horses instead
Of buying them and is getting much
less than it paid.
The horse is now competing with
machines and appliances which have
reduced his value largely, and which
will probably bring it still lower.
The use of electricity as motive
power for street cars and the ubiqui-
tinns bicycle ere che chief reason for
the iessened value Of horses. The
horseless carriage is still 80 expensive
that it has cut small igure in this
competition, but in it the horse may
soon find very hurtful rival. At the
meeting of the American Hay associa-
tion in Buffalo few days ago, one Of
the speakers declared that in the
eight cities Of New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis,
Cincinnati, Richmond end Toledo the
electric trolley aud bicycles have dis
placed 100000 horses. According to
this proposition millions of horses
have lost large part Of their useful
ness in this country in the last few
years. The decreased consumption Of
hay in the eight cities named on ac-
conn. ee tie displacement OF 80 many
horses is estimated at 10000 tons q
year. The iessened demand for hay
in the entire country for the same
reason is millions of tons year.
Thus the farmer is made to feel the
effect Of mechanical applications of
power. The big problem of labor-sav-
ing machinery looms up everywhere
and raises questions which no political
economist or statesman has yet an
swered satisfactorily.
The farmers themselves have helped
| to cut down the demand for hay, ono
of their largest and most valuable
products. No enterprising farmer who
has the means to obtain it hesitates to
adopt machinery that saves labor and
works cheaper than the hay-burner.
Steam engines propel cotton gins
and cotton screws which were once op.
Grated by horses and mules. Improv-
ed plows, reapers and thrashing ma
chimes and other modern farm machin-
cry have thrown many thousands Of
horses out Of o job.
The average horse has less chance
for. useful and honorable career to.
| day than he ever had before, and the
selfshness Of man guarantees that the
long and noble record Of the horse will
weigh as nothing against anything
that will do the horses work quicker
