AN ANONYMOUS PATRIOT.

mt n Critical Hour.

at n Critical Hour.
A good many things were done at the
time of the civil war in this country
which were of great value to the fed
eral government, but which history has
never recognized Perhaps it will al.
ways remain a mystery who it was that
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment great fortune of gold without
asking any security, so that thereby
the cruisers which were being built in
England for the confederate govern
ment were never permitted to sail out
of English harbors
In the early days of the war certain
ship builders in Great Britain received
commissions from the confederate gov
eminent to build some very swift steam
ships, which were to be armed with
long-range guns, and which, sailing
under letters of marque, were expected
to infiict great damage upon the vessels
sailing under the union flag.
Charles Francis Adams was minister
from the United States to the British
court, and he was very anxious about
these ships, because he knew that If
they were permitted to sail from
English ports the damage they would
do to vessels sailing under the Ameri-
can flag would be enormous. He pro-
tested to the English government but
was told that the government had no
information that these ships were de-
signed to prey upon the commerce of
the United States Unless Mr.. Adams
could furnish that information the
British government could take no steps
to restrain them.
The vessels were being built, and they
were almost ready to put to open sea,
when Mr.. Adams appeared. before the
British authorities eth proof, which
he had obtained in a manner which he
alone knew, and which he kept as a
secret to the day of his death. that
these vessels were paid for with con-
federate money, and he also furnished
a complete list of officers and crew who
were to sail upon them He furnished
other evidence which was convincing.
At that time it was said that the
was not friendly TO the union
cause and would be glad to see the con-
government maintain ITSELF

The work shown by writers and artists
in the Lothrop Magazines for February is
of unqualified excellence. Wide Awake
has contribution by one who was near
nyson's family. She tells very pleasantly
OF the home-life of the poet, and OF the
"Tennyson Boys" who were her daily
playmates. "Ihe Flower of Her Race" is a
sketch of the twelve-year- old Queen of
Holland by II. E. DeRamsey and is written
from personal knowledge. These, with the
stories, verses and puzzles, will keep one
bright and wide awake these long winter
evenings. The Pansy is deserving always
of high commentator and just now the
"American Literature Papers, make es-
pecially profitable and instructive reading
and Margaret Sidney's columbian Year
Sketches" are all We have come to expect
from her pen. Her whole soul is in this
work for children which her husband be-
gun in the Lothrop magazines.

1t will be seen from the foregoing sta
tistics that the Grand Army OF the Repub-
lie in the department OF Vermont has at
tanned phenomenal degree of PROSPERITY.
The order has doubtless reached high
water mark in membership, including, as
it probably does, among its enrolled mem
bers three-fourths of all the surviving
Union veterans residing in Vermont.
OF the Is veterans who have served as
department commanders, all but one sur
vive, the exception being Gen. George P.
Foster, the first department commander,
who died March 10, 1879.

Interesting History of the Vermont
Grand Army

| The year 1898 is the silver anniversary OF
| the establishment of the Grand Army of
Vermont, the order having been estab-
lished in this State in 1865 by order of
John A. Logan, then national department
commander. The first Vermont veteran
TO join the Grand Army was Maj. Gen.
Geo. j. Stannard, the commander of the
I'd Vermont brigade, who received the de-
gree, according TO he old ritual, in Wash
ington during the autumn of 1877. Ger.
Stannard was authorized by the national
officers to confer degrees and organize
posts in Vermont, and upon his return to
the State early the following season, he
took the initial steps for the establishment
of the department of Vermont. The first
comrades upon whom he conferred degrees
were Gen. Theodore S. Peck and George
Bigelow OF Burlington, who were duly in
itiated as members of the g. A. r. on a
certain night, in the saDctum of the Bur
lington Times. Through the efforts of
this trio of Grand Army men, several posts
were organized in Vermont during the
winter and spring of 1865. The first post
chartered was Chamberlin Post, No. 1
Originally chartered as Wells POST, at
st. Johnsbury, Jan. 10, 1868. Capt. Pearl
d. Blodgett was the first commander. The
second one organized was at Burlington,
and it was named after Gen. Stannard.
The following table shows the place of
meeting, the name of the commander and
the number of posts and members in the
department of Vermont each year since
1858:

The Review of Reviews for this month
touches upon many topics of interest in
its outlook upon the progress OF the
World" first being immigration, both as
it concerns this and other countries, and
the need there is for an outlet for surplus
population somewhere. The possibility
of Gladstone's retirement upon the pas
sage of the Home Rule Bill is mentioned.
A resume OF the Panama affairs is given
and a discussion of the current problems
of American cities, together with portraits
OF mayors. The frontispiece is portrait
of Hayes, and there are sketches OF Butler
and Jay Gould. To one who would keep
abreast of the times with little reading,
this magazine is indispensable. (The Re-

PLANS OF INCOME TAX MEN
They Expect to Profit by the Admins
tration's Embarrassment.

WASHINGTON. Nov. aO--Thc income
tax is to he favorably recommended to
the committee on ways and means by
the subcommittee on internal revenue
having the matter in charge, and the
report may be made to-day. 1t is
frankly conceded that the whole policy
OF the committee depends On the
question OF the income tax. The great
difficulty of the committee has been to
reduce the tariff without creating II
deficit i'm the treasury and this embar-
RAISING condition has been the chief
topic of the income tax men.
The protests that have come up from
tvcry industry as the contemplated
tariff reductions have been announced,
and the open threats of the southern
democrats who have lodged such Wig
orous objections To removing the
bounty ON sugar and adding coal, iron
ore and rice to the free list, have
finally caused the incometaX
theory To he given that seri-
Gus consideration that indicates its
final adoption. The plan will come to
the committee with the unanimous
recommendation of the democratic
members of the subcommittee having
il in charge and il is stated that the
theory is commended by every demo-
cratic member of the main committee
except Mr.. Cochran of New York and
possibly Chairman Wilson.
