Secretary of State BrOwnell constantly
receives at his Burlington office applica-
tiOns for charters from all kinds of con-
Germs who desire to obtain prestige in this
state and to be bolstered up by the law.
1t has indeed come to be well understood
that the expense of obtaining charter
under the general laws of the state of
Vermont is nominal and therefore the
privilege is quite frequently abused
Foreign corporations and individuals OF
other states seek to organize under the
Vermont law because they wish to take
advantage, as they claim, of the states
Liberal laws The only tax outside of
that imposed on all the property Of cor
poration IS a franchise tax which is nom.
inal. Most Of the other states of the n
ion, there being few exceptions, require
their payment of a tax when the charter
Is granted, small part of which goes to
pay for filing, recording and making GER
titled copies of requisite papers; and the
balance is payable to the state in the way
of bonus or tax. This of course ap-
plies to corporations which have capita
stock. 1t would seem that the time had
arrived in Vermont when subscribers In
all corporations might be granted char
tiers under the general law, and that the
law should be so revised as to compel
payment to the state, as a tax or for the
addition of privileges granted, protec-
ton, etc, by such charter, small per
centage on the capital fixed in the char
ter applied for. 1t has been suggested
that it is matter for those in authority

1.-THE AMERICAN NAVY"
a Poem of the Civil War with Present
Day Application.

a Poem OF the Civil War with Present
Day Application.
T. II. Mcleod Of this village has in his
possession copy of the REGISTER of
March !, 1863, in which there Is printed
an original poem by 5. b. Rockwell, then
residing in Los Angeles. Our older citi-
zens will recall Mr.. Rockwell as a man
of considerable ability and property.
He was born in Cornwall. He at one
time owned the residence now occupied
by President Brainerd.
The poem in question is interesting at
this time when our navy has once more
distinguished itself in battle. It then
contained 424 vessels, of which 1923 were
propelled by steam. Their armament
consisted of 5000 guns of various calibres.
According to the verses, the navy was
the largest then in existence. The
poem is as follows:
THE AMERICAN NAVY.
Arm of defense-our pride and boast
On every sea- on every coast,
Whereer il be, where'er the foe
Dares to invade or strike a blow,
Give her name that all shall know,
Crown her the mistress of the sea,
me mistress Of the sea,
Gallant and strong, her flag unfurled
She floats the terror of the world
Child of today, ana born complete,
Full grown, full armed-a brilliant feat
How shall we christen-name the fleet
crown her the wonder of the world
The wonder of the world
Born of the forest and the mine.
Built up of iron, oak and pine,
With lungs of fire, and breath of llama
anu rios OF steel-her heart the same,
shield of our hopes on every main.
Crown her the genius of our race,
The genius of our race.
The seething forge's ringing stroke
Mia mimic thunders, fire and smoke
Combined to give her growth and birth,
Ana bring her forth, mid cheers and mi1th,
Christen and crown her. round the earth,
The queen and glory of the main,
The glory OF the main.
Ten thousand worlzmen. skilled and brave.
Their complement of labor gave,
With nerves of steel and souls of flame.
she sprang to life mid dews and rain.
What is her mission-what her name.
Crown her the harvest of the war.
The harvest of the war
As tabled goddess born full.armed,
Her sudden advent has alarmed
The British lion in his lair:
He growls in sullen, and despair,
With more of hate than friendly care,
Jealous of her proportions fair;
BE this her name, known everywhere.
Crown her the glory of the age,
1he glory of the age.

ABOUT ONE HUNDRED DEAD.
News From the Storm Stricken Districts
Along the Southern Coast Coming
in Very Slowly.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Oct. 6.-News from
the storm-stricken districts along the
coast is coming in gradually, and it is
probable that hundred lives have
been lost. News by way of a boat
which arrived Wednesday is that so
people were drowned at Fernandina.
From Campbell island, inhabited by
about forty colored people it is report.
ed that all but three were drowned.
At Brunswick four people lost their
lives and at Jesup, 100 miles from the
coast, one man was killed in a build
ing blown down by the storm.
At Sterling Station. Charles Wright,
merchant, reports the disasters from
the flood great to lives and property in
the rice field portion of Glynn and
Mcintosh. There are a number of
small islands at various points around
Brunswick, Fernandina and Darien
on which small groups of families
live. 1t will be some days before
accurate reports are heard from these
points At Darien the water is report
ed high and the town badly damaged.
There are many rumors of loss of life
but all of the reports thus far re-
ceived are believed to be exaggerated.
Many of those who bring news left
the scene of the storm during its
height and consequently can not be
expected to give accurate informa-
ton. The damage by wind and rain
has been enormous and extends in
land 100 miles in some cases. The
damage to shipping is enormous. Near
Darien the schooner Blanche Hopkins
cOllided with a small schooner, the
Minnie and sunk her. The Minnie
had on board 5000 pounds of dyna'
mite. At Fernandina the tug Gladia
tor is said to have landed in the mid.
die of the town. Mrs. Lucy Carneigie's
magnificent yacht, Dungeness, is bad
ly damaged. The Cum berland island

high on bluff in Burbanks yard.
The schooner Edia and Emma, with
cargo of coal, is on shore at Jeky
island near Charleston. The Jeky.

destroyed considerable of the clubs

THE VICE ADMIRAL GRADE.
1t Will BE Recommended to Congress for
Dewey by President Mckinley and
Secretary Long.

WASHINGTON, Oct. cit is said Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary of the
Navy Long have determined to recon-
mend to congress the revival of the
grade of vice admiral, to be filed by
the promotion of RI. Adm. Dewey.
President Mckinley in his annual
message, and Secretary Long, in his
annual report, intend to devote con-
siderable space to the achievements
of the Asiatic squadron under the
command of RI. Adm. Dewey and the
splendid judgment and diplomatic tact
that officer has displayed in handling
the many difficult questions which
arose before the arrival of the Ameri-
can troops and the capture of Manila.
AS under the existing law RI.
Adm. Dewey will reach the
retiring age in December, 1899, there
is strong probability that Secretary
Long will also urge that congress pass
law permitting the retention Of that
officer upon the active list for an ad-
ditional ten years. A law permitting
such action in the case of officers re-
ceiving the thanks of congress for gal
liant conduct in the civil war is now on
the statute books, but the authorities
would be glad to see the law changed
so that officers of the recent and fu-
ture wars will be similarly rewarded.
There is little doubt that congress
will willingly adopt the recommends
ton regarding RI Adm. Dewey's adj
J vancement.
