The Railroad Fight.

"Thc Central Vermont Railway Co, has
succeeded temporarily in its effort to
throttle competition in Vermont. II is
to-day, as it ever has been, the political
master of the state We have heard lit

it necessary for it to come out into the

This. and much more in the same

amusing TO anyone that understands the
actual condition of the Central Vermont
in this controversy. As a matter Of fact,
the BOSTON & Maine had the Central

of the fight -
And largely for the very reason that
the Grand Trunk policy had all these
years kept the Central Vermont out of

ANTHONY, ARSENIC AND BIsMUTH
Little of Either Produced in the United
States.

All the primary antimony used in the
United States during the year 1909 was
imported. No antimony whatever was
produced in this country, although
considerable quantity was recovered
from various wastes, such as old type
and babbit metal, and some antimonlai
lead was produced as a by-produet at
smelteries and Tetineries.
The imports of anthony were large.
the total value of the metal and ore
entered for consumption during the year
being S774,7l9. An advance chapter
from aAfineral resources of the United
States. calendar year 1909" prepared for
the United States geological survey by
Frank L. Hess, shows that 1917 short
tons of antimonial lead, valued at S252,-
252: 743 short tons of antimony from
foreign ore smelted in this country,
valued at Sll5,90S; and 1906 short tons
OF anthony recovered from old alloys,
valued at S242,736, were produced here
in 1909.
The price of antimony varied lttla IN
i 1909. The lowest figure quoted was
| 705 cents a pound and the highest 500
cents.
Arsenic Produced and Imported.
White arsenic the oxide, is the only
form in which arsenic is produced in the
I United States. Most of the arsenic inn
ported, however, comes as the sulphide.
il Is brought from Canada, Europe, and
I Mexico in considerable quantities
The 1909 output in the United States
was l.214 short tons. valued at S52,-
GAG. Imports of arsenic, apart from
Paris green and London purple, amount
ed to 4036 short tons, valued at $685.
72S. OF those two products lSS,16l
pounds were imported, the value beng
set at s20,370.
The price OF Paris green fell of sharp
w after July Is, the cost per pound
4 i'm bulk dropping from q X cents t.
II cents. A like falling of was shown
IN the price OF Paris green in packages
Cost Of Bismuth High.
Only one firm reported a production
of bismuth in the United States during
1909, but 1876 pounds, valued a.
S2s6,5l6, was imported during the year
most Of it derived from Bolivian ores
The domestic output of bismuth wa
obtained as a by-product in the electro
Ilytic refining of lead.
The price ranged from Sl.7O to SIS
pound. Mr.. Hess, in the advance
chapter dealing with bismuth, state
that the price of the metal and it
compounds is largely governed by for
eign firms, and advances the opinion
that its use would increase consider
ably if the price were reduced.
Little Demand for Selenium.
Selenium was produced as by-prod
net in copper refining by one compan,
in the United States in 1909. 1t sol
for $3.43 a pound, but ii large guam
titles of the element were needed
could be probably sold at much low

While the controversy between Mr..

Democrats. II is not to be assumed
that IL is n in which the public OF
West Virginia has no interest. The
good faith. the sincerity and honesty
OF men who aspire TO be leaders OF
public thought are matters OF inter.
est TO every citizen. Especially are
the good faith and honesty OF a man
who has been honored with the nom.
nation for governor OF the state. and
who has been credited with senatorial
aspirations. II was hard for West
Nirginians TO understand how John J.
Cornwell could turn his back on John
I. McGraw. II was hard and is hard
ior his friends TO mako any adequate
explanation for what appears to them
to be treachery. The facts OF the
case are. however. that John ]. Corn
"on has been a creature of the cor.

ance TO the Fairmont Coal Inc

IL more apparent. Then It forced him

but it only made apparent what every
