Some Pertinent Inquiries.

Editor Of Wdtchmdn;-As the old WATCH
MAN is the only paper that has the sand {"
to show up jobs and frauds, / will make
bold to ask a few questions. Being a tax
payer and resident Of Vermont, L believe L
have a right to ask these questions and ex-
pect an answer.
The Legislature voted five thousand dol
lars to aid the building of wings filled with
stone to protect the North Hero bridge.
This has never been done, but the money
was paid over to the selectnen some years
since. What has become of this money?
AS | understand it. it was voted upon the
representation of the engineer, Mr.. Charles
ii. Clark of st. Adams, that such work was
absolutely necessary. State Auditor Pow
ell approved it and now the work remains
undone, but the " Doodle " has been " COB
bled " by some one, and the town of North
Hero is holden to the state of Vermont for
five thousand dollars. Who can tell where
this money is? Can G. HI. Clark of st. AL
bans, or can the ex-state auditor? Some one
should know.
The legislature was coaxed to vote a large
sum OF money to show Vermont building
material to the world, her architectural
granite, her fading green slate, her marble
tiling and other products, in a building
worthy of her name. Vermont has untold
millions OF dollars in granite, slate and mar
bic, ready to be developed. She has CAPT
tai ready to go into such development. We
were told that this Vermont building at
Chicago would help show up Vermont's re-
sources. Do the taxpayers remember the
men who told them so? Have the men who
made such statements and deceived the
people in this manner anything to say?
Now the facts are, Vermont has a hovel that
our Vermonters are ashamed of. 1t is made
OF lath and plaster-cost $4,000, DIR. Nc
Intyre admits, and is anything but what
was promised for the money the state appro-
priated. 1t is a fraud on the state. The tax
payers have been shamefully cheat I'd, our
state and resources are not represented in it.
A plaster of paris hut, with mud trimmings,
has been palmed off upon the ~tax-paying
public of Vermont. HoW long will the peo-
pie endure this robbery? Will the state call
upon the town of North Hero to pay back
FIVE thousand dollars filched from the treas
ury? f. NJ. w.

The Vermont National Guard,

Edttor Of Wdtchmdn;-In the issue of the
argus and Patriot of August 80, there an
peared an article taken from the Rutland
Ne~S IN which that periodical %denounces
the whole military organization of the state
as being composed of toughs and drunkards.
and declaring that the conduct Of the boys
at Rutland during the week of muster was
OF such a character as I" to put to shame the
shade of the devil himself" When the ar
ucle hrst appeared in the NewS | took it for
granted that it was the production of some
amateur reporter trying to create a sensa-
tlon, and az too absurd to think of seriously
Tor one moment; but since one of the news
papers nearer home has given credence
enough to the article to republish il, I take
this somewhat late opportunity to sneak a
word for the members Of the regiment who
nave been held up in this false light. To
begin with, / most emphatically deny that
the muster at Rutland was, as the News
says, "A feast for Bacchus, or, more plainly,
a big weeks drunk" On the contrary, |
will say that the conduct of the regiment
was as good as that Of any body of citizens
OF the same number which | ever saw
gathered together for a week in any place
for any purpose; and | have frequently
seen more disturbance and Drunkenness
among the crowds gathered at religious
camp-meetings.
The NeloS, abiding to the incident which
LOOK place in front of Trinity church the
Sunday previous to the Tuesday on which
.ho pouy oiIhe reglmehJarflVed says, THAT
Is a falr sample of thousands OF similar acts
which have occurred during their pleasant
stay in this city" Now | do not know
what motive the NeiDS had in making such
a statement, for there is not any foundation
IN TACT Tor 1t TO rest upon The incident in
question was but one of very few, if not the
only one of the kind, which occurred dur.
ing the week, and no one regrets the ac-
tons OF the two or three men who partici.
pated in it more than the members of the
regiment themselves. But | fail to see
where any one is at fault except the indi-
viduals themselves, az it was before the
officers OF the different companies arrived,
and consequently before any form of disci-
pline had been established. The News
freely admits that the authorities OF Rutland
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-09-06

| allowed the dealing out of rum in the most
open and notorious manner, but it has not a
word Of censure for them, or for the men
who by furnishing 1t became the source OF
all the disturbance that there was.
The only two disturbances during the
whole week which came to my personal
knowledge were brought about by the con-
duct of civilians in insulting and interfering
with peaceable soldiers; and one OF the
provost guard informed me that he was
called upon to raid a house of questionable
reputation in which it was said some of the
men from the camp were creating a row,
but upon investigation 1t turned out that the
house was full of the citizens of Rutland
and not a soldier among them. | do not
wish the readers of this to understand that
| am asserting hat the department of every
man in the regiment was all that could be
desired. 1t IL impossible in. any military
organization to combine all the elements of
a missionary, a temperance enthusiast and a
soldier in each and every individual mem
Der. A few Thinking men are but the nat
ural concomitants of every regiment, but
should we blame the whole regiment for
that? AS well condemn the grand old
Army of the Potomac because there were
coffee boilers and bounty jumpers among
them. Undoubtedly Intoxicating liquor was
used by some to a greater extent than the
prescriptions of the surgeon general called
for, and this would be true in any crowd of
six hundred boys having an outing. Before
we become too loud in our denunciation of
those who looked upon the wine when it
was red, we should remember that the great
majority of people have some faults; and
the DOMINIC Of a blue blouse does not
change the nature of the individual.
To comfort itself the NeWS says, ever
mont's soldiers were not always made of
such stuff" | insist that Vermont's sol
diers were always made of just the material
which made up the regiment at this last
muster. Boys cannot be reduced to the
~strictest discipline in five days time, but /
do not believe there is a regiment of militia
in the country to-day that could be put in
readiness for hard service in shorter time,
or that would perform the duty assigned to
it in a more creditable manner. The same
spirit of activity which made the soldiers of
Vermont a little mischievous in camp has
won for them in action the highest place in
the worlds history of soldiers. 1t has made
for Vermont all the history she possesses
worth remembering, and it is not beyond
the range of possibilities to say that some of
these :" tin horn soldiers of the present
may add another page to that history. AS
to the sensible citizens of Rutland, probably
they do not consider themselves so out
ragged by the conduct of the boys but what
they would continue to live in the state if
the regiment should muster there again, in
spite of the statement of the NeDS that the
last one was ga sort of Midway Plaisance
on the Vermont plan"

system "A fraud and a robbery. Its
leaders have vehemently declared their
purpose to tear out that system, root
and branch, from the national policy.
That party has come into the full and
unrestfained possession of every branch
of the national government. The very
moment, in November last, when this
fact became apparent an industrial re
action began. Manufacturers took note
of the democratic declaration of war
against the long existing industrial
policy of the country. They instantly
began to arrange their affairs to meet
the crisis that had begun its devastating
march. Contracts were Cancelled,
orders for business were declined, pur.
chase of supplies WAS stopped, all their
operations were curtailed.
What has happened within the past
few weeks is no new or sudden thing.
1t began on the morning after election
day, in November last. Then il was
that the jaws of the iron wise in which
industry in every department is now
writhing began to close. The contact
came some weeks ago,a and the pinch has
been tightening every day since, with
every development Of the purpose of
the party in power. The national
canvass of a year ago was a carnival of
mingled falsehood and reckless disre-
gard OF the consequences that flow from
a wanton tampering with the sources of
national prosperity. The verdict of
the people in November was not
evolved from calm and deliberate con-
sideration. 1t was the joint product of
the grossest of false p%retenses, aggres-
eively and Obstreperously maintained
by the democratic leaders, and a spirit
of revolution for the sake of revolution
among the voters in a large, unthink-
ing and reckless class of citizens. Gu
pidity, selishness and delusiop, famed
to white heat by demagogues, helped
on the democratic cause and brought il
the contingent of voters from the West
and South that gave the party lis vic
tory. Apathy bound the hands of the
conservative and restraining element,
and contributed to the triumph of the
allied forces of d~emagoguery, discon-
tent, a%narchism and f%olly-and behold
the inevitable consequences The
country has recovered its senses, and,
looking about for the agent responsible
for this "wreck of ruin" lifts its palsied
finger toward the democracy. Thou

A Wrecked Steamship.

The steamship City OF Savannah of the
Ocean Steamship Company was wrecked last
week on the shoals six miles from 81. Helena
lighthouse, South Carolina. She was en-
route from Boston to Savannah with a miscel-
laneous cargo and several passengers. She
safely weathered two gales, but in the third
her steam whistle was knocked off and the
water began pouring into her hold and
threatened to stop her engines. Seeing that
the ship could last but a few hours longer,
Captain Savage headed her for shoal water.
All night long the vessel ran in the storm,
the passengers expecting death every min
ute. Early the next morning the steamer
was heard humping and scraping against
the bottom and the passengers knew they
had reached shoal water. The vessel was
run az far aground az possible. She could
not be gotten into an easy place however.
The huge waves broke over her with in
cTeasing force and beat the boat to pieces.
The officers and crew used every effort to
prevent loss among the passengers and they
were successful. Not a life was lost from
aboard the ship. All We're landed by the
life-boats at Coffin Point, st. Helena,
iDy the City of Birmingham OF the same line.
The City of Savannah and cargo were a to-
tai wreck.

Thou Art the Man.

The frantic efforts of the democracy
10 show that the Sherman act is re-
sponsible for the disasters to business
In every part of the country only serve
10 call attention more sharply to the
fact that the victory of the party whose
political creed is the Chicago platform
Is the real cause of the prevailing
troubles. Democratic papers under
take to maintain that if the fear of
tariff revision is responsible for the
deplorable business situation, it is
strange that European countries should
be also experiencing hard times with
no such prospect of reduction in the
tariff. Well, if there is no tariff agita-
ton in Europe, there is also no silver
purchase act there to create financial
disturbance and demoralize business.
The facts of the European situation
have very little to do with existing
conditions in this country. Prosperity
or disaster in America generally pro-
ceeds from causes which have their rise
at home, and the cause of the prevail.
ing business troubles is found at home.
The cause is primarily a threatened
overthrow of the old established in
dustrial system of the country. The
democratic party has pronounced that
