There is only one way in which this
country can help Cuba, and that is by
buying the rich island. A syndicate
of wealthy New Workers has already
canvassed the purchase as specula-
ton, but it would be rather danger
Gus private enterprise, if Spain could
be induced to set a price. The gov
ernment of the United States could,
however, either make the purchase as
it bought Alaska orit could advance
the money by which Cubans could
buy their own freedom. From COM
mercial standpoint, this country
would reap many advantages, and it
is likely that Spain, already bankrupt
with constant declining commercial
resources, would gladly accept fair
financial equivalent for her unsettled,
rebellious possessions in the West
Indies.-Erchange

1t may be little late in the day,

loser, financially by the late war with
Japan, certainly has the money to

and to secure capable instructors for

that is required is to instil discipline
into her troops, who are not lacking
in courage or valor, if properly train

money China may be able to protect
herself against future assaults from
outside barbarians, but, if reports be
true, the Celestial Kingdom will have
more to fear from internal strife than
from any other cause. The nation is

1t may not be safe to attach too
much Importance to the declaration
cabled from a Spanish newspaper
that Spain is offering to support Eng
land in North Africa in return for the
influence of that country in prevent
ing the recognition of Cuban belliger-
ency by our Department of State. 1t
is quite possible, however, that in its
desperation Spain is capable of in
trigues even more absurd.
The influence of England with our
Department of State has not hitherto
been great. The American tradition
does not countenance such trading as
makes the history of European diplo-
macy long record of disgraceful
chicane. Under our diplomatic tradi-
tions the only question we have now
to consider in the matter of Cuban
belligerency is whether or not the
Cubans are actually belligerent- that
is, whether they are actually carrying
on fair and civilized war in the open
field, and are not operating as brig
ands or desperadoes.
The people of the United States
have always been friends of local self
government everywhere, and espe-
cially in all American countries. The
precedents they have established
ought to govern our treatment of
Cuba without regard to the wishes of
Cpain EnO1an6 Or anV other E,I1rODo-
an country.

ANNUAL MUSTER OF THE M :
TTONAL GUARD OF VERMONT.


The camp is located at the south end
of one of the most beautiful lakes in
the state, only a few minutes, walk
from the Passumpsic railroad, near
Fairlee station.
1t is an ideal spot for the annual
muster, away from all influences that
would detract from the work at hand.
There is splendid turfed drill ground
of so acres, smooth and level, and ad-
joining this is another field of the
get range, so that tactical manevres,
artillery, cavalry, and infantry firing
will all take place within sight of the
visitors. There will be pistol practice,
with solid shot, skirmish running at
targets. The different companies ar
rived on the grounds Monday in good
time, and found everything in nice
shape for them. The management of
the entire camp is in the hands of
Brevet Major Gen. w. H. Gilmore,
quarter master general.
The militia is composed of three bat
talions of four companies each and
the 1st light battery. Brig. Gen. Jul.
J. Estey of Brattleboro is the brigade
commander and Geo. I'll. Bond of Brat
tleboro is in command of the regi-
ment The 1st battalion is in COM
mand of Maj. @. w. Evans of Benning-
ton. Maj. o. D. Clark of Montpelier
commands the I'd, and Maj. j. Mimms
of st. Adams the Sd. Lieut.. j. Harry
Estey of Brattleboro is the adjutant
of the regiment Although the last
session of the legislature provided for
the establishment of a permanent
camp ground, which has been located
on tract adjoining Camp Ethan AL
len near Burlington, it could not be
so it was thought best to hold this
years muster at Fairlee. There were
present, besides the infantry and ar
tillery a company of U. S. cavalry
from Fort Ethan Allen and company
of u. S. regulars from Plattsburgh, N.
Y.
Friday, Governors Day." was the
great day of the week. There were
present as visitors and guests, outside
of those belonging to the encampment
a very large number of people from
neighboring towns, several train loads
of excursion people, and parties from
all sections of the state. Among the
most distinguished visitors were Gen.
O. O. Howard, Senators Morrill, and
Proctor, ex Cows. Barlow, Farnham,
Pingree, Ormsbee, Page, and many
others of prominence in the State and
elsewhere. The early part of the day
was spent on drill, target practice,
sham battle and artillery firing, some
of at target. The afternoon was de-
voted to a general review by the Gov
ernor, etc. Each branch of the SER
vice was in line, passing the review
ing officers twice. The marching was
very fine and the review as good as
the State has seen in years. Quite a
long line of veterans of the late war
were present as body guard of the
Governor, including in the number
some of the best and bravest among
those who left the state. Prizes were
awarded to the best marksmen, the
Brattleboro company winning. Dress
parade closed the exercises of the day

THE CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAM.

The chief need of the national gov
ernment at the present time is suffici-
ent revenue to pay current expenses.
Until that is secured there will be a
constantly increasing deficit and
frequent as we'll as generous additions
to the national debt. The most salts
factory way to accomplish this result
would De to increase the tariff duties
on some of the goods now imported
which ought largely to be produced
in this country. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that President Cleveland will
approve any measure in this direction
and the only alternative, barring an
increase in custom duties, will be to
take steps to increase the internal
revenues.
It will be possible of course for Con-
gress to combine these two politics to
a moderate extent with the idea that
Mr.. Cleveland will approve this step
rather than to allow the present sit
uation to continue to protracted ex-
tent. The fact that deficit and heavy
addition to the national debt has fol-
lowed upon the taking effect of legis-
lation enacted by a democratic Con-
gress will make it impossible for
Cleveland to throw the blame upon
