THE TURNING POINT IN AMERICAN HIS
TORY
{ Report for Class b by l.. O. p. J

(RepOrt for Class b by l.. O. P
As we turn the pages of American history we
who are not familiar with that history are led to
seek for some one event. some pvOting point
upon which hung the fate of the colonies during
the revolutionary strife. which we may look
upon as the prime factor in the production of our
grand free country, and which has enabled our
country to rise from state of dependency upon
to the superior of the greatest monarchy of mod
ern times. Having sought for this event, we find
it is the defeat of BurgOyne at the battle of Sara
tOga. For more than year previous to this
event the tide of war had been running against
the cOlOniSts; Washington had been driven from
New York and had taken up his quarters near
MorrlstOwn in New Jersey; his army, few in
numbers, was sadly demOralized while many of
the cOlOnists had lost all hope of gaining their
independence. Lord Howe. then at New York,
had laid out well defined plan of the campaign
to be undertaken. Gen. BurgOyne, a brave sol
dier, and skillful tactician. was to advance from
st. John, on the SOrel river to capture Albany on
the HudSOn but THE best laid schemes o.
mice an men gang aft a-gey.' Burgoyne adj
vanced upon fort TicOnderoga and captured it,
as well as Crow Point, then resumed his march
toward FIT. Edward reaching there about the
end of July. Several engagements of a minor
character had taken place between detachments
of troops and the colonial soldiery whom he
found wOrthier foes than he had thought them
He had been unable to communicate with Lord
Howe, yet hoped to receive assistance from him.
In this he was disappointed, had commenced his
advance upon Philadelphia when BurgOyne final
ly heard from him. BurgOyne still hoped for as
sistance, however, and in that hope crossed the
Hudson with his army and encamped upon the
ground destined to be that upon which victory
was gained, the results of which have so materi-
ally effected the lives and destines of millions of
the human race, victory less bOOdless in its is
sue but more potent in its results than any yet
fought on American soil. Previous to it the pa
triots in their efforts to achieve their indepen-
dence were betrayed at home, unsupported and
unrecogniZed abroad; their armies were small
poorly armed and without proper food and cloth
ing, or the means of procuring them; only
through the true patriotism of Morris, Franklin
and others, who willingly gave all their wealth
for the support of the campaign, was the cause
able to exist. Franklin and others were in
France endeavOring to secure aid, when news
came of the American defeat at TicOnderOga,
The treaty was delayed by this, and American
vessels were prevented from fitting out in French
ports. Everywhere the American revolution

was looked upon, as a lost cause. Everywhere?
No: at home were those who under the guidance
of that illustriOus general. Geo. Washington
1.-The Hannibal of America" determined to gain
their independence or give up their lives in
the attempt. But at last the tide had turned in
favor of the cOlOnistS; congress had removed Gen.
Schuyler and placed Gen. Yates in command;
several engagements had occurred in which the
Americans had been victorious BurgOyne'S adj
vance was checked battle was imminent final
ly fought, and mainly through the galantry of
Arnold, BurgOyne was defeated and shortly
surrounded by an army treble the number of his
own. He finally surrendered with hOnOrS of war
and. the battle of Saratoga had been won by the
cOlOniStS, by which nearly one third of the Brit
iSh forces then in America laid down their arms,
Oct II. The result soon became known in
France and two months after BurgOyne'S sur
render that nation recognized American indie
pendence. Feb. 9th the treaty, SO long sought
by Franklin, was made with France, who stood
pledged to render all possible aid to the Ameri-
can cause. Franklin procured $5,OOO,OOO from
France. This money and the gallant services of
liberty-lOving French soldiers paved the way for
certain independence, until then, doubtful ee-
ment in American history. All honor is due to
pendence, to those who fought for that hide
pendence; but above all, honor to those who by
defeating BurgOyne at Saratoga, made that
Independence possible, who by so doing changed
the history of this continent, if not of Europe
and laid the foundation of the United States of
America

There is good story of George Will
lam Curtis which seems never to have
been published. He was lecturing on
Buffalo stage once, when suddenly
heavy rope somehow broke loose from
it's mOOrings in the flies above, and
dropped with a tremendous thud to the
floor behind the speaker. Mr.. Curtis
looked around in mild surprise to see
what had happened, then, turning to
the alarmed audience again, said, with
twinkle in his eye: "Ah! that must
have been the thread of my discourse"
Somebody on the front seat caught the
joke first and broke out in chuckle,
which instantly developed into roar of
laughter from the whole house. It was
good many minutes before the thread
of that discourse could be resumed

Editor Atkins Still on Top.

All sorts of runners have been ripe dur
ing the past week in relation to Chair
man Atkins of the Democratic State
committee, but he is yet doing business
at his old stand at the head of the Demo-
cratic party of Vermont. 1t was assum-
ed by some that he would now retire
having won an overwhelming victory
which indicated him in the face of
charges of packing the previous State
convention and this opinion was partly
based on the idea that the death of Mr..
Atkins afforded him plausible pretext
for retiring. 1t is very evident, however,
that Mr.. Atkins has no idea of giving up
his present place. He has insisted all
along that he would not retire under fire
and the opposition has just given him
another excuse under this head for stick
ing TO his post. They have published
the report of the special committee ap-
pointed at the State convention to inves-
tigate the charges of packing the State
convention of 1890. The opposition
failed to get the report before the con-
ventiOn in time to effect the test vote and
they evidently reserved it for the purpose
of keeping up running fire upon MIR.
Atkins from now on to the next State
convention. The evidence shows that
Atkins had nothing to do with seating
the extra delegates in 1890 and there is
nothing to show which way they voted.
but he is nevertheless severely condemn
ed. A prominent Democrat in CONVEX
sation with the Budget correspondent
said the opposition was making mis-
take if they really wanted Mr.. Atkins to
resign. He might have resigned after
the convention, but if they kept up their
abuse he would not retire at all. Bur

A Yale Incident.

Francis Wayland, the distinguished
Dean of Yale Law school, recently Of
fered prize of $50 for man who would
make the most points in a debate, the
subject of which he would name later
Eight students were appropriately Sc
le3ted from twenty four applicants to
contest for the purse, and among them
was James r. Spurgeon of Richmond,
Va, believed by simple folk to be a
literal descendant of Ham of historic
fame. Another student, paler and more
pusillanimous, is Lebbeas L. Wiley of
Mexico, NO., who assumes that the
quality of his blood is superior to that
which courses through the veins of his
colored classmate. When he discovered
that Spurgeon was includedin the chosen
contestants, Wiley loftily declined to
participate, saying it would be no honor
for him to defeat negro and charging
that the latter was designated on account
of his color instead of for any ability as
a debater. Yale is a great university,
and therefore no bigoted ''color line' is
tolerated. There are seventeen Afro
American students, and no distinction is
made between them and their pale
faced brethren by the faculty. No
change of policy, it is needless to add,
will be inaugurated to accommodate the
Missourian upstart.
OF course the public is not gulled by
the reasons ostentatiously alleged by
Wiley. Fear of the humiliation of be-
ing vanquished in debate by the negro
classmate is believed to be the real cause
of his ill-mannered withdrawal. AS
there were to be six other debaters, none
of whom backed out, a victory over
them--without reference to the dark
visaged orator-would have been glory
enough for student like Wiley.
But Wiley is young yet He may be
a good fellow naturally, and in realizing
what fool he has made of himself, re-
solve to use more circumspection and
common sense in the future. In this
Republic boys who plume themselves on
their lineage or color are only laughed
at, and while posing as blue-bloods are
set down as simpletons.
In these practical times, it takes some
thing more than grandfather and
little money accumulated by Others to
make man. ColOred fighters have won
spurs in intellectual as well as pugilistic
circles, and no sagacious swordsman
will deri6e them in advance of trial of
skill.-Troy Press.

The Nav Cold-Snap.

AS we went to press last week a cold
wave had decended upon this region and
the mountains about Bennington were
white with snow. From our exchanges
we clip the following items:
At Peru, Sunday, May 22nd, snow was
six inches deep, and people rode to
church in sleighs.
Nearly all fruit trees in full blossom
and the ground white with snow Friday
was sight perhaps never before seen in
Peterburgh, N. Y, at this season of the
year.
At Woodford, Friday, the people awoke
to find the earth mantlen in two inches
of snow. Snow continued to fall until
nearly noon. 1t was a great spectacle
for May Goth, but the birds and frogs
did not like it.
Several inches of snow fell along the
line of the Bennington and Rutland rail
way Thursday night aud Friday morn
ing of last week. The mountains in
Western Vermont was robed in white.
The hardest wind storm of the season
at Bennington commenced Thursday af-
ternoon and lasted good share of the
night, accompanied by rain. Much dam
age was done to fruit trees. Friday morn
ing the rain changed to snow and the
tops of the mountains were covered with
white coat, but the snow melted during
the day.
The Granville and Hartford hills Fri.
day were capped with snow and the
opinion of many is that the fruit crop
will suffer from the chill in the atmos-
phere, blighting the blossoms.
Henry Schneider and j. Wright Gard
ner returned Friday night to Troy,
N. Y, from a fishing excursion to Steph-
entown. They report catch of 10
pounds of trout which were hooked
during a severe snowstorm. The hills
around that section are white with
snow.
A snowstorm prevailed for four hours
in Brattleboro, Thursday and the ground
around was white with snow Friday
morning. Some towns report fall of
six inches. Three inches of snow were
reported at Windsor and Roxbury and a
Slight fall at Montpelier. There was
slight fall of snow in Rutland, but it
melted as fast as it came. In Mount
Holly there was fall of three inches,
at Barnumville four inches and at Sher-
burne in the mountains east of Rutland
it was six inches deep.

Murderer AImY's Chances.

The exceptions filed recently by which
this noted criminal hopes to elude the
halter, attract public attention again to
this case. Almy's Counsel base their
exceptions upon the ground of the
alleged unconstitutionality of the law
under which Almy, having confessed
himself guilty, waived his trial by jury
and appealed to the Court to award the
degree of his guilt. The only questio N
involved is whether Almy had the right
to waive trial by jury. The law under
which he was tried has been many years
on the statute book, and it is probable
that its constitutionality has never been
openly questioned until Almy's case
came up under this law. Salmon, the
Laconia triple murderer, having &C
knowledged his guilt, was by the Court
sentenced to death and afterward hung.
In Salmon's case, however, the respon-
dent was examined by a commission of
expert physicians and pronounced sane
before the Court awarded his sentence.
The question in Almy's case is an ex-
ceedingly interesting one. The opinion
of a good number of New Hampshire
lawyers is that the Law Court will pro-
nOunce the statute in question cOnstitu-
tional, on the ground that it does not
deprive a criminal of any of his rights
under the Constitution of New Hamp-
shire, but simply permits him of his
own free will to waive a provision
under the Bill of Rights and, confessing
his guilt, to throw himself upon the
mercy of the Court In the event of
this law being held sound these same
lawyers do not believe that the United
States Court will, through the habeaS
corpus or any other action, interfere
with Almy's case should the law be de-
clared unconstitutional.
Lawyers of prominence have varying
opinions as to the result. Some believe
that it would lead to Almy's uncon-
ditional discharge, without power on the
part of the State to try the respondent
again, and among those who entertain
this opinion is q well-known ex-Justice
of the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
Other lawyers say that even under
these conditions, Almy would be subject
to another arTaignment on the ground
that his recent trial would not prove to
be one that jeopardized his life, and,
even if that were admitted, new in
dictment might be drawn, under which
the respondent could be again legally
tried.
Under such conditions, however,
action could be had by the United States
Supreme Court, and this would cause
a conflict of authority between that
tribunal and the New Hampshire
Supreme Court. Although the Consti-
tuition of New Hampshire stipulates that
the Legislature shall not make any law
that shall subject person to capital
punishment without trial by jury, it
would yet remain for the Law Court to
determine the intent of the trainers of
that section of the Bill of Rights as to
whether it was intended to take away
from person accused of capital crime
the permissive right to appeal to the
clemency of the Court. 1t may be added
that the opinion entertained by large
majority of the lawyers consulted on
this question is that Almy will not es-
cape punishment, but that legal way
will be found to send him to the scaffold.
