The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-04-03

In the following paragraph, be-
ginning an article on Hawaii, The
Outlook makes an exceedingly apt
characterization of class of papers of
which the Evening Post is one and the
Springfield Republican a close second.
The Outlook says: "The New York
Evening Post continues with almost
daily reiteration to hold the mission
aries and the sons of the missionaries
responsible for all the ills that have
fallen upon Hawaii. BY dint of in
sisting upon some facts, ignoring other
facts, and sneering at all witnesses
whose testimony does not agree with
its theories, it succeeds, doubtless, in
producing certain impression on the
minds of its readers, and by echo on the
larger community. A half truth is
often whole falsehood, and by dint of
telling half the truth the EUening Post
succeeds in producing the impression
which whole fasehood would pro-
duce." Not only In regard to Hawaii,
but in respect of nearly every other
public matter, these papers pursue
towards republican policies and repub-
lcan statesmen of fairest renown pre-
cisely the "policy of infamy" trench
emily set forth in the foregoing extract.
For these papers it is generally enough
TO know that a man or measure or a
liue of policy is republican to secure
the sort of opposition which these
journalistic Uriah Keeps have reduced
to fine art. So far has this kind of
Journalism" been carried, Senator
Sherman was once constrained to re.
mark that if the ten commandments
had been made by the republican party
they would have encountered the op-
position and denunciation of this I'M
happy class of people.

A Great Libel Suit.

Newspaper editors and publishers
throughout the Union are deeply inter-
ested in the suit of Frank B. Noyes of
the Washington Star against Charles
A. Dana of the New York Sun for
criminal libel. In some sort of a con-
troversy over rival news agencies, in
which these editors are interested, Mr..
Dana characterized Mr.. Noyes, who is
a director in the Associated Press
agency, las thoroughly dishonest di-
rector" These words constitute the
offense. Mr.. Dana contends that he
should be tried in New York, where the
Sun is published and where the offense
was committed. The leading news
papers in all parts of the country, even
those who belong to the Associated
Press, in which Mr.. Noyes is direc-
tor, sustain this contention.
Mr.. Noyes, no wever, is trying to have
Mr.. Dana taken to Washington to be
tried in criminal court of the District
of Columbia. His contention is that
the offense was committed in Wash
ington because copies of the Sun con-
tanning the libelous words were sold
and circulated in the District of Co.
lumbia. Mr.. Noyes could have brought
civil suit against Mr.. Dana in New
York if he had wanted money damages.
He could not bring civil suit in the
District of Columbia. He could have
brought criminal suit in New York,
but evidently had doubts of his ability
to secure an indictment of Mr.. Dana in
the city of his residence. Mr.. Noyes
can hardly be criticised for the choice
he made of the remedies within his
reach. Very naturally, Mr.. Dana and
the leading papers of the country
strenuously object to Mr.. Noyes' cleo
ton of remedies. His right to take
Mr.. Dana to Washington is a legal
question, and that question is to be de-
cided by court of the United States.
If the decision is favorable to Mr.
Noyes' contention, every newspaper
editor or publisher in the country
whose paper may find its way to Wash
ington is liable to be hailed to the ma
tional capital to answer to some con-
gressman's, or some public officials, or
some other PERSONS, charge of libel, for
the newspapers are free critics of pub
lie men and men connected with public
measures. Victory for Mr.. Noyes
would thus be blow at the freedom of
the press. Every newspaper from
Maine to California, from the lakes to
the gulf, would be at the mercy of any
person in Washington, any senator or
representative or public officer, any
lobbyist or other individual, who might
conceive himself libeled by the news
paper's utterances. There would be an
end of free, unconstrained discussion
and wholesome criticism, and corrup-
toms gala season would begin.
Libelous utterances are often made
by the newspapers, no doubt, but the
construction of the law asked by Mr..
Noyes would be placing a dangerous
weapon in the hands of men who in
fest Washington and labor for the
passage of laws or are engaged in
schemes that are clearly inimical to
the public good. Even Mr.. Dana's
bitterest foes are stoutly contending
for his rights in this prosecution.

can DO. We trust that the governor

The farmers interests and the public
health will abundantly justify liberal
action under the law and liberal con-
struction of its terms.

farmers to have tuberculosis stamped
out as it exists principally in the i'm
aginations of men who never had the
care of cattle, it is unworthy of notice. I"
The intelligence shown by the writer of
this brilliant paragraph seems to indi-
cate that he may be the individual, or a
near relative, who, once on time, ac-
costed farmer, and, pointing to some
objects that aroused his curiosity, in
quired what they were. "Those? why,
those are COWS. Didn't you ever see a
cow" The paralyzlng answer was,
"No; l am the editor of an agricultural
paper in the city, and this is the first
time l have been in the country" Re-
speeding the existence of tuberculosis
in this state, and the desire of the farm
ers to eradicate it, the report of the first
weeks work of the cattle commission,
published on the second page of this
paper, and the facts revealed by previ-
GUS examinations, seem to be worthy of
notice, and are evidently attracting at
tention. One hardly need have the
smallpox to be cognizant of its exis-
tence in community; and one hardly
need have the care of cattle to take note
of the plain facts of the existence of
tuberculosis in this state.

AN armistice has been agreed upon

AN armistice has been agreed upon
by the representatives. of China and
Japan, pending the negotiations for
peace. A cessation of hostilities had
been under discussion at the confer
ence of the peace ENJOYS, from which
Ii Hung Chang was returning when he
was shot by japanese fanatic. Japan
was requiring conditions, but after the
attempt upon the Chinese ambassadors
life his wishes respecting the armistice
were graciously needed. 1t is conf
IDENTITY believed that the negotiations
will bring peace. In Japan all ranks
and conditions manifest the liveliest
sense of the stigma fastened upon the
nation by the assault upon the Chinese
envoy, whose safety, on sacred mis-
sion of peace, in the country of his
enemies, was matter of inviolable
sanctity. But the Japanese have so
borne themselves in this untoward
event as to bring out into stronger
light the fact of the high degree of CIV
ilization to which they have attained.
Their bearing under circumstances of
peculiar trial will efface the stigma in
the judgment of all civilized people.

From the New York World.
Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor
of the telephone, Etigant millionaire, scien-
fist, with Mrs. Bell, his two daughters and
his valet, arrived from Havre yesterday on
the French liner La Bourgoyne.
Today he will take his eldest daughter to
Northampton, Mass, where she is at
school Tomorrow he will go to Washing
ton, where he lives, to visit his parents,
and then, with the remaining members of
his family, he will go to his fine country
seat at Cape Breton.
Seen at the GiIsey House last night. Prof.
Bell talked on what he had seen in Europe,
on his latest inventions, and what ne hoped
to accomplish in the future. First he spoke
of the flying machine industry.
The Flying Machine.
while have long believed that the idea
of navigating the air was practicable" he
said. Il am not working directly on the in
vention myself, but collecting tables that
will be of use to future inventors. 1 got
some material in Paris, and shall publish
a treatise on the subject soon.
Il have long believed the flying machine
should be of greater specific gravity tiian
the medium that sustains 1t. Inventors
have too long worked on contrary prin-
ciple. The invention of the balloon by
Montgolfier set back the science of aero
states, in my opinion.
LAS aluminium is a disappointing SUBJ
stance out of which to construct a mechan-
ism, unless 1t can be used IN sheets or
masses would have the flying invention
made of an alloy of aluminium.

ascending and floating about the room. It
weighs 81 grammes and is called the hell
kopter."
Prof Bell called attention to the fact
tnat birds are heavier than the sustaining
medium, which, he says proves the practi-
cability of his idea.
Speaking of the horseless carriage, which
has attained such a degree of development
in France that 1t travels from one end OF
the republic to the other, Prof Bell said
that the European invention was still very
crude, and that great opportunity awaited
the American genius who should perfect 1t
by doing away with its present jolting,
noise and the odor arising from petroleum:
"Horseless carriages have come TO stay"
ne said, land Americans will make them"
Horse Bicycles.
He suggested the feasibility of construct
ing horse bicycles, or tricycles. or quadri-
cycles-any number of wheels in fact
machines in which the noble friend of man
could ride but do all the work of propel-
ling the vehicle.
Unless something Of. the sort is invented
Prof Bell fears the patient horse so long

come extinct. AT present. he said, there
is nothing between the direct power of a
horse and the steam engine Now, why
not let the horse, by an arrangement Of
gear, do the pedalng, or exert the power in
some other practicable manner. By rerers-
ing the gear greater speed could be obtained
and one could go up hill as well as on the
level
. "See how the cable, electricity and other
motive powers are daily supplanting the
horse. 1 am confident that some such in
vention will ultimately be perfected and
that the horse will get Off the ground and
ride and become the motive power.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
In the western part Of the Cherokee coun-
try, in the Indian territory, lies slight
elevation cut up by numerous hills and
valleys and covered with rank growth of
scrub oaks and tail prairie grass wherever
the rocks are covered with sufficient soil to
mairtain vegetation. These hills are known
as the Flint Hills, on account of the flint
stone which may be seen cropping out on
every hillside: and in every valley. A
scanty civilization has sprung up In this
region within the last year or SO, and few
scattered fields may be observed where the
wandering settler has built his dug-out,
scratched up the earth CROUCH to plant his
corn or potatoes, and then lies around idle
Until harvest time. Some of the better
class live in log cabins. with their walls
covered with coonskins, and long bench
on each side of the cabin. where the settler
sits in the shade. leisurely smoking, while
his favorite coon dog sleeps at his feet.
The people are rude, simple individuals,
averse to strangers and are satisfied to live
secluded from the rest of the world. The
occasional crack of the stage drivers whip
is the only disturbing feature of their lives.
