Col. HRskins vigorous, Eloquent and
Impressive.
From the Woodstock Standard ]

Hon. Kittredge Haskins, in his address
here on Memorial day, made some illusions
to the larger political problems confront
ing this country, just as he would have
done if he had not been a candidate for
election to Congress; and his expressions
upon these questions we're edifying to his
hearers. His views were in accord with
those of great majority of Vermonters
His illusions indicated a vigorous grasp of
mind, and his address as whole was Wig
Orous, eloquent and impressive. Certain
ly he seemed unlike the decrepid and brok-
en-down old man that some of his political
opponents have recently pictured him to
be.

In Cold StornR-.

The end Of the session of Congress finds
the Grout oleomargarine bill laid away
in cold storage for the summer. Accord
ing to the Springfield Republicans Wash
ington correspondent, friends of the meas.
ure kept up an active struggle, under the
surface, up to the last moment to find
some way to get the bill before theH ouse.
"They practically abandoned the hope of
its passage when they learned Tuesday
that every member of the committee on
rules, except Speaker Henderson, was Op-
posed TO consideration. The Speaker
abandoned them Wednesday, upon the
ground that it was useless to waste time in
calling the bill up, when a vote could not
be reached The position of the Speaker
cut on the hope of recognition for suspen-
sion of the rules, or for putting the bill in
any favorable position. The friends of
the bill declare that they will get ii before
the House and pass ii at the next session,
but It's opponents are satisfied for the
present with having prevented vote at
the present session."
1t is undoubtedly one more case where
the large moneyed interests affected by the
bill have been able to defeat or control the
course of legislation.

n The choice OF President these blacks
throw 35 electoral votes solidly every time
for candidate to whom they are bitterly
opposed. This unjust system is not only
a wrong upon the negroes, but it gives the
Southern Democrats a strength to which
they are not entitled in the national con-
vention, in Congress and in the electoral
college. In some of the Northern congress
sional districts over 1000 votes are cast,
and the average for the entire North is
over 81, coo for each district. In FIVE
Southern states in which the Mississippi
plan is in full force the average vote for
each congressional district is 1876. These
states have 81 representatives in Congress,
on a total vote of 1S4, ,602, which, in the
North, would elect only five representa-
tiVes.

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.
Prince & Whitely's Review of the Stu
alton

Prince & Whitely's Review of the Stu
alton.
! Every day almost brings forth some
| thing which causes the professional
bear element to pause and reflect on the
Wrongness of their position. If it is not
the continued good reports from all
branches of trade, it Is the fact of the
market having cut loose from European
or South African affairs, or the money
markets and rates having become more
regulated. To-day is was the very large
earnings of the railroads which caused
the market to turn after an early at
tempt to assail it shortly after the open
ing by selling some of the specialties.
The fact Is that imperceptiby the
market is growing broader. and the
public in general realizes the fact that,
with all lights before them, the market
is a purchase. Certain properties, mo-
mentarily without inside protection
may continue to be attacked, but are
just as liable to be turned in the other
direction when 1t suits manipulation to
do so. In the main, the market shows
strength and health. The early London
advices did not show much change from
Saturday, but during the day the mar
ket was strong. Western kilograms all
report January railroad traffic ahead OF
last year, with operating expenses low
er on account of open winter. Foreign
exchange is a trifie easier-actual 4S4A
and 4S71A. Money remains unchanged
and easy at 8 to 81 per cent. on call and
to Az per cent. on time. Wheat has
been easy to-day and prices "a lower.
French and English markets were low
err and more than offset the slightly in
creased bullish sentiment here Cotton
opened trif1e niger and was sold down
under an apparent larger crop move
ment, but closed at Saturdays figures
The fact of last years unfavorable
weather in the south having curtailed
the crop movement then should not be
lost sight of.
During the closing hour the stock |
market was strong. Sales during the |
day for realization Of profits were well |
absorbed and the undertone at the close |
is a confident one.

Leading banking house Of this city has

It argues that the unmistakable de.

the prospects are that during the next
few years Americas progress CONNER

seventy-three men in troop E, Lieut..
V. d. Dixon commanding and Troop
G, has eighty-nine men, Lieut.. c. G..
Hall commanding, arrived at Fort
Ethan Allen yesterday from Porto
Rico.
Troop e, has eighty-two horses and
troop G, eighty-six horses. The
change from the land of perpetual
flowers and sunshine to snow banks
was startling one for the boys.
The removal Of these two troops
from the Island of Porto Rico takes
away all the cavalry soldiers and there
are but four companies of regular
troops Of the United States infantry
remaining. The natives are gradual
ly being pressed into the service and
are fast taking the place of the Unit
ed States soldiers who are leaving.
There are now PAT men besides the
officers at the post. Troop d of the
1lth infantry has eighty-tve men, in.
Guiding six absent. For the cavalry

The Maine Wreck.

Havana, Dec. THE government
has asked bids for the removal, at
last of the historic Maine. 1t is re-
quired that the wreck and all mater
ials for It's removal must be out of the
harbor before April /, 1901. This
will make quick work Of it, as 1t will
be not more than three months from
the time the work of removal has
been begun. The wreck Is an impedi.
ment to navigation, as it creates a
sandbar. 1t is also an obstacle to
the full reconciliation of Spaniards
and Americans, as it is also a continu.

the war The Cubans may well have
