OUR DEBT TO THE DUTCH.
America Owes More to Nick Van Stan
Than 1t Can Paw.


Than 1t Can Pay.
One never reads in American colo
NAL history of the Dutchman seeking
gold like the Spaniards or English
men, remarks Harper's Magazine. His
head was too level and his eye too
clear. Excelling as farmers, yet even
more as traders, the Dutch laid the
foundations, of the commercial su-
premacy of New York by inherited in
'stincts REINFORCED by wise policy and
large ideas. They gave points not
only as to fish, fur and wampum TO
their neighbors down east.
Quickest to catch customers, they
sent out their agents among the In
dams, forestal1ing the fur and other
crops. Incompatible as is the modern
Boston drummer" he is but the
evolution of the Dutch bos-loper, or
wood-ranger, who secured the forests
for trade.
With perfection of dress and man
ners, irresistible in tongue, brainy and
resourceful always, as is our CONNER
cial tourist in this Columbian year, he
probably does not proportionately ex-
eel the slsillful bos-loper, who in the
seven teenth century secured the In
dian villages along the Mohawk and
even to Duluth.

The reported richness of the South
African gold fields has attracted the at
tention of many of Oregon's young men
who want to see the world, and at the
same time make fortunes for themselves.
The Prineville Review very sensibly
says that if all who contemplate going
there would pool the money it would
cost them for passage there, and spend
it in developing the mines of Eastern
Oregon it is quite probable the results
would be more satisfactory than would
their pilgrimage to the clark conti-
nent." Eastern Oregon has plenty OF
gold mines, and all that is needed to de-
velop them is muscle and money.

England is agitated over popular
feeling to abolish the house of lords. 1t
is certain that if such an action depended
upon the suffrages of the people the
house of lords would be short lived. 1t
is house composed upon the rules OF
heredity, no matter how obnoxious or
imbecile the members may be. Recent
counter legislation of the house of lords
to that of commons has SO embittered
the lower classes thatit is quite probable
an issue will be soon made to abolish this
part of the English parliament.

why Rats Gnaw Continually.

Have you any idea why it is that
rats, mice and squirrels are continually
gnawing at something? They do not
do this for pure devilment,'' as peo-
pie generally imagine, but because
they are forced to. Animals of that
class, especially the rats, have teeth
which continue to grow as long as
their owner lives. In the human spe-
cies the teeth are developed from pulps
which are absorbed and disappear as
soon as the second set are full grown,
but in the case of the much maligned
ratthe pulp supply is perpetual, and
is continually secreting materials by
which the incisors gain in length.
This being the case, the poor creature
is obliged to keep up.his regular gnaw-
ing operations in forder to keep his
teeth ground off to a proper length.

The Knights of Labor of the United
States are about to embark upon q cam
paign having for its object the removal
of the negroes from the United States
and their colonization in the Congo
basin, Liberia, or some other part of
Africa. Not to mention that this is a
big contract to take hold of, the plan is
visionary for other reasons. After sew
eral centuries of residence in the United
States it is not likely the negro will de-
sire to return to savage Africa. 1t may
be good enough for natives already
there, but even the negroes are too en-
ightened not to choose in favor civili-
-zation already attained, and the num-
berless comforts and inventions designed
by white men.

Oregon's senators favor boat railway
at The Dalles, while the representatives
want portage. A boat railway can be
built almost as quickly as a portage, as
the two lines of rail are but short dis
tance apart, but the greater expense of
the boat railway condemns it. during
these times. Whereas an appropriation
for a portage road might be secured with
comparative ease, if it was built with
reference to future boat railway. The
representatives are pushing the best
plan.

by the "Whigs'' for that high office, and
was opposed by the Democrats or
Loco-focos as they were so often termed,
with Martin Van Buren as their nomi-
nee. The young people will readily see
the significance of the older generation
speaking of that election as occurring
in ''log cabin times"
The Hon. Waitstill r. Ranney of
Townsend, was president of the conven-
ton, and Mr.. Hall made the following
address Introductory to the speech of
the Hon. Daniel Webster:
FelLOlC Citizens: We are met on the
top of our native mountain, overlook
ing and taking in, as it were, at single
glance, all our variously diversified in
terests. Our headquarters is building
which above all others is suitable to the
business in which we are engaged. 1t
was the log cabin that furnished a shell
ter to our fathers when they made the
| first Judgement in the Green Mountain
wilderness. 1t was within the log cabin
] that were planned and executed those
bold and decisive measures which pro
tected the early possessions of our
| fathers from the grasp of the land job
bing government of powerful neigh
| boring Province. 1t was from log cab
unteers who on the morning of the 10th
of May, rs, within the walls of Ticon-
| deroga, thundered at the door of the
fortress. and demanded its surrender in
the name of the Great Jehovah and the
Continental Congress. 1t waslog cabins
that sent forth the men, who in their
hunting frocks and their blue barrel
guns without bayonets, stormed the
works of the British and German regu-
lars at Bennington and hurled back on
the foe the tide of success which until
that day threatened to overwhelm our
country.
Fellow Citizens, Connected with the
log cabin are the names and deeds of
our Chittenden, our Aliens, our Warner
and of all those, who, as the fathers of
our State, we love dearest and prize
highest, and a son of the Green Noun
tain who would discard the log cabin aS
an unfit emblem of his patriotism and
love of liberty, would voluntarially dis
honor the memory of his father, and
shake hands with the slanderer of the
mother that bore him.
To the distinguished Senator who
honors us with his presence on this oc-
casion, claim in behalf of ourselves
Revolutionary log cabin relationship.
| am not mistaken in my historical rec
elections. The father of Daniel Web
ster, then the tenant of a. log cabin
among the hills of neighboring State,
stood side by side with our fathers at
the Battle of Bennington, with them
scaled the walls of the Hession redoubts
and received the submission of its dying
commander.
Fellow Citizens, congratulate yOu-I
congratulate you on the relationship.
Thanks to the aristocratic Office hold
ers who tainted us with presenting a log
cabin candidate for the presidency. 1t
has walked up the true Wbig revolution
ary spirit, spirit that will carry in tri-
umph to the presidential chair the great
log cabin defender and protector of the
West, the soldier, the stateman, the
honest man, William Henry Harrison.

THE "srRArroN CONVENTIONS, !,

Mr.. Editor: The "Stratton Conven-
tion," which has been brought before
the public by Mr.. Davenport, in his ar
ticle upon the late Gov. Hiland Hall,
and the more recent statement by DR..
S. Z. Ranney, both published in the
BANNER, will perhaps warrant further
notice of the event. 1t was held July
7th and Sth. 1910, on the top of the
Green Mountain in the town of Stratton,
Windham county, Vermont, in the
woods, far from indications of civiliza-
ton, except the road running through
the town from Sunderland to Wardsboro.
1t was to further the election of Gen.
VIM. II. Harrison, grandfather of our
late distinguished president, Benjamin
Harrison, to the presidency of the
Union States. He had been nominated

THE DEMOCRATIC DIFFICULTY.

Inc prOOlem winch c0ntr0nteQ the re-
cent Democratic state convention at
Burlington and which has puzzled the
resolution trainers of every Democratic
convention this year is, how to endorse
the administration of President Cleve-
land and yet not approve what the ad-
ministration has done. In the discharge
of the duties of social life and in the
amenities of daily intercourse it is fire.
quently necessary to give ian evasive
answer" and men and women are justi-
fed by the customs of society in dis
guising their real feelings. But in deal
ing with questions of party promises and
party performances it is not quite so easy
to say one thing when you really mean
the contrary. Approaching this difficult
ty, the New York Sun presents form of
resolution which sets forth what the
Democracy promised to do and endorses
it, making no reference whatever to the
fulfillment or non-fulfllment of those
promises.
1t is too late for the resolution COM
mittees of many of the Democratic con-
ventions to profit by the suggestion of
the Sun, but it may be utilized in future
convocations Of the party. Hence, there
has been great divergence of action
among the conventions. The Arkansas
convention refused the adoption of any
resolution that could possibly be con-
strued as an endorsement of Mr.. Cleve-
land or his administration; in Illinois,
they approved him and it in whatever he
or it had done in consonance with the
principles laid down in Chicago; Pennsyl-
vania Democracy in convention assem-
bled, declared the administration of
President Cleveland had fulfilled the
pledges of his party and satisfied the ex-
pectations of the people; and other Dem
ocratic gatherings have adopted platform
plauks on this subject ranging all the
way from tacit approval to implied con-
demnation.
The Pennsylvania method has the
merit of courage, to say the least. And,

Six of the largest buildings, forming
the boundaries of the court of honor of
the Worlds fair, were burned by incen-
diaries Wednesday evening. The build
ings destroyed were the terminal station,
manufactures, electricity and mining
buildings. machinery hall and the agri-
cultural building.
The art gallery, which has since been
rechristened the Columbian museum and
the government buildings were saved,
together with the agricultural building.
The conviction of''Bat'' Shea in Troy,
N. Y, for the murder of Robert Ross,
is an event tliat it is far-reaching in i'm
portance. As stated by our Troy ex-
changes, it redeems the good name of
that city, in that the purity of the ballot
and security of human life and freedom
at the polls will be maintained. But the
justice, though tardy, will fall short of
doing its perfect work if the men back of
Shea are allowed to continue and profit
by the work of such as he. 'Boss'
Murphy still has the machine and dictat-
ed the election of the present city gov
ernment We note the fact that the
trials of the others are to continue.
Bat Shea is to be sentenced next Tues
day, but meantime, his counsel will
make every effort to save him, carrying
the case to the Court of Appeals. We
think their efforts will fail and that JUS
tice will be done, and that Robert Ross
will not have died in vein.

The inaugural message of the new
president of France seems to indicate
that he is a man with motives much
higher, and with ideas of generosity
much broader than those of our own
chief executive. The noble tribute paid
to his lamented predecessor leads to the
belief that President Casimio- Perier is
above the low petty jealousies that
prompted Cleveland's spiteful attacks
upon Mr.. Harrison. In the French Pres
ident's message there is no attempt to
bring dishonor upon the preceding ad-
miuistration, nor any indication that the
biggest blunder of the age will be com
mitted in insane attempts to belittle
its public acts. Instead manly tribute
is paid.

In no year for quarter of century
have the customs receipts run as low, or
the general receipts of the government
fallen below its expenditures. This is
largely due to the falling off in the i'm
portations. Part of it is caused by the
inability of people to buy, but much of
1t is due to the fact that importers have
bought in just as little as possible and
dealers have bought as little as possible
in the expectation that the reduced rates
of duty would be made a law long before
this time, and that large importations of
dutiable articles would be unwise in
view of this prospective change in rates.
The value of the importations for the
year just ended amounts, in round num-
bers, to $65O,OO0,O 900. This is less than
in any year since 1886. 1t is more than
100000, 900 less than the value of the
importations in 1893.

To David B. Hill belongs the honor of
being the only member of his party in
the Senate with the courage and manli.
ness to stand by his convictions and defy
his party to the very last in its betrayal
of its pledges. He justified his course
in the following words: Gas between
Populist income tax on the one hand
and the Republican tariff on the other, 1
choose the latter as the lesser of the two
evils. AS between pernicious class leg
islation fraught with dangerous conse-
quences to the country and simply high
tariff taxes on the other hand, 1 prefer
to endure the latter, at least for brief
period, if am compelled to choose be-
tween them"

In his search for notoriety, Kyle, the
Populist Senator from South Dakota, has
again overstepped the bonds of decency
by his open announcement of the strik-
ers in their lawlessness and his attempts
to embarass the courts in their efforts to
prevent the obstruction of trains. Mon
day he introduced into the Senate a res
olution, providing that no warrant shall
be issued against any persons for the OBJ
struction of trains unless it happens that
the transportations of mails is interfered
with. Kyle would legalize the lawless
acts of the strikers and place in their
hands the lives of the passengers and
the safety and welfare of the great rail
road interests. On very rare occasions
is such rank exhibition of demagogism
made in the Senate.
