And so disappears from public notice. as two
years ago he did from public life, one OF the
representative men of the political period
which followed close on the heels of the war; an
unctuous good man of large professions, who
carried with him the OdOr of picty and the
appearance of sanctity, but never took his eyes
off the main chance. 1t was he who sat with
the Rev. Mr.. Harlan for portraits OF the
"Christian statesmen the ideal representa-

planned that the $1,000 given York at mid

committee reported 7-why simply that the
evidence of Mr.. York, an unimpeached witness
of undlsputed integrity, testifying to precise
facts of his own absolute knowledge. was not
sufficient to warrant any action by the Senate.
And so it indicated POmerOy. 1t vindicated
everybody for everything. But when this
indicated Senator was brought into court,
he was not so anxious for vindlcation. He dallled
and delayed, and had the trial put off until
finally he compromised it in some way, so that
the $1,000 which he claimed was given to
York, in trust for another person, should be
divided up among his .accusers, and the
prosecution dismissed. What comment upon

The message of the President in response
to a resolution of the Senate calling 1or
official information as to the inroads of god
hunters upon the Sioux reservation in the
Black Hills country shows that neither the
War nor the Interior Department knows much
more about the matter than tho press mas
already laid before the country. There Is an
assurance, however, that the Government Is
making an effort to secure the extlnguish-
ment of the title of the Indians to the coveted
territory, meantime protecting them In their
rights under tho treaty.

Our Irish fellow citizens were treated to an
unwonted luxury, yesterday, IN exceedingly
beautiful weather for their celebration OF ST.
Patrick's Day. They made the most Of it In
the procession, and in the numerous festivl-
ties with which the celebration was prolonged
till far into the morning. Of these last the
most crowded and brilliant was that OF the
Friendly Sons of st. Patrick, which forced
into the large dining room at the Hoffman
House something like two hundred guests,
and made the building ring throughout most
of the night with song and story and charac-
teristic bursts of Irish elOquence.

Affairs in Cuba 60 from bad TO worse.
A private letter received in New York
says that over S25, 100000 worth of
sugar estates have been recently destroyed
by the insurgents, whose policy seems to
be to lay the island in ruins and deprive
the government Of resources for carrying
on the war. The insurgents are mostly
laboripg men, whose families are left
destitute, taxes are growing heavier,
general misery prevails and ID revolution
Is feared in Havana. Captain General
Valmaseda has issued proclamation
offering unconditional pardon to rebels
who surrender before May 80, except
deserters frem tho Spanish forces, who
will be required to serve in the vanguard
of the army until the end Of the war.
The proclamation declares that "enough
royal bayoncts remain 10 Spain to make
those Spanish soldiers bite the dust who
continue in close union with insurgents,
shedding the blood Of their former com.

VIRGINIA.-The Richmond Enquirer
takes hopeful view of the present con.
dition Of the State of Virginia, aud
believes that il complete account could
be taken of the wealth Of every resident,
including ready money on hand, it would
be found that, leaving the matter OF slave
property out of Tho question the people
of Virginia ore better off to-day than
ever before. There is plenty OF money,
and it is pretty evenly distributed, the
poor being richer aud the rich poorer.
There are few men who are in business or
are at work who have not fair purse to
show. Contrary to impressions prevail
ing in some quarters, there is little Of
willful idleness in the State, nearly the
entire white population who are not sick
disabled, or too old and decrepid being at
work in some trade or profession. There
is little dissipation, scarcely any drunken.
ness, much less gaming, and no rioting
grogshops. Such is the Enquirer'S picture
and if it is even moderately true to the
life, everybody must feel like saying

Ticonderoga Centennial.

The people of Western Vermont, and
all other patriotic citizens, heard with
regret that the centennial celebration Of
the taking of Ticondaroga by Ethan
Allen wns abandoned. The feeling that
it ought not to be given up was so strong
that the Grand Army boys have deter
mined TO adopt a simple programme and
have commemoration services. To that
end, Post Alfred Weed Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, at Ticonderoga,
have issued the following card
lowing to our very disastrous fire,
which reduced 10 ashes almost the entire
business portion of our village, retarding
business pursuits and making us feel
poor, our centennial committee have
found it wholly impracticable and impos-
sible to carry out IL original programme
proposed to CT mmenorate the capture
of the fort by Ethan Allen. But there
has been expressed, a. home and abroad,
such a desire to commemorate the day,
that we. members of Post Alfred Weed,
G. A. r., feel it our duty to take the
matter in hand, present simple pro-
grammc, welcoming all comrades and
guests, and assist to the best of our nbil-
ity in making the exercises Of tho day
pleasing to all who may attend.
Taking into consideration our limited
means and the short time in which to
make arrangements. we can only prepare
tables and ask you to join us in n grand
union picnic.
"All are hereby invited attend the
one hundredth anniversary of the capture
of Fort Ticonderoga, May 10th, 1915, BY
Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain
Boys.
Following the echo of the shot tha
was heard around the world, went out {
voice from Ticonderoga just one hun

which carried terror to the hearts Of thu
foes of our forefathers. Let us all d.
