The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1894-01-24

COMMANDER SwINBURNE of the
Boston was witness before the SEN
ate Investigating committee last week
and gave that body an account of the
Hawaiian revolution from his point of
view. This officer was in charge of
the troops that landed January l6,
1898, and had exceptional opportunities
for observation. He says the United
States marines took no part in the rev.
olution, and were landed only to assist
in preserving order and to protect the
lives and property of American citi-
zens. He was cautioned that "great
prudence must be exercised by both
officers and men, and no action taken
that is not fully warranted by the con-
dition of affairs and by the conduct of
those who may be inimical to the treaty
rights of American citizens" and this
caution was strictly observed. The
troops were kept out of sight in their
camp, and, when disturbances in the
streets indicated that they might be
called out, they were assembled under
arms in the yard in the rear of Arion
Hall, in which they were euartered.
The testimony of all the naval officers
sustains Minister Stevens story in every
essential particular.

In arecent speech on the defences of
the British empire, Lieutenant-g general
Sir George Tomkyns Chesney, NJ. P,
expressed the opinion that the English
colonies generally, with the exception
of Canada, were perfectly safe. In the
event of war with the United States,
he said, it would be impossible for
Great Britain to prevent Canada from
being annexed to the States. But the
chances of war between the United
States and England have been reduced
quite to the vanishing point by the
precedents in the matter of the Ala
bama claims, and lately by the Behring
Sea arbitration. 1t is difficult to con-
ceive of any break in the relations of
the two great English-speaking nations
OF the earth that could now bring them
into armed collision. War between
England and the United States would
be crime against civilization.

HAWAII is preparing to be a repub-
lie. The leaders in the revolution of a
year ago are formulating a constitution
when the final answer of the United
States, as expressed by congress, is
against their plan of annexation. In
the plan under consideration, there will
be legislature composed of two houses.
Voters for members of the lower house
must be able to read and write English;
for the upper house and for the execu-
tive offices, higher qualifications will be
required. The general plan is modelled
after the government of the United
States.
THE house democrats, on Wednes-
day of last week, revolted against the
leadership of Professor Wilson and
voted down his proposition to extend
to August ! the time when the free
wool schedule should take effect. I'm
der the leadership of the free trade
one-tax representative from Ohio, Tom
johnson, the house gave effect to the
free-wool provision instantly upon the
passage of the bill. Mr.. Wilson took
the hint, and, by withdrawing it, saved
from defeat similar proposal in rela-
ton to wooden goods.

That womanhood which is the guiding star
of the home life of the American people has
in it the purity and power for its own pres
ervation, 1t will accomplish its appointed
course. No man will see it fall like light
ming from heaven. And if any man would
bring his manhood to its highest possible
tiles, he must hitch his chariot to that star.
