BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1s, 1896.

The Free Press has the right idea of the
situation at Waterbury when it says, in
speaking of the new superintendent:
"The task before him is more difficult
one than was the original organization of
the asylum. 1t is to re0rganize an insti-
tuition which has been very seriously mis-
managed; to restore its character; to make
of it something more than an almshouse
for the cheap maintenance Of insane pau
pers; to make it a true hospital for the
cure of mental diseases; and to regain for
it the confidence and willing support of the
citizens of the state. 1t will take time and
tact and no little earnest labor to do this. 1"
The Free Press adds that, "having known
DR.. Page from babyhood we have conf
dence that he will be equal to the situation
He will, it is understood, enter upon his
duties with the new year"

The Philippine Revolt.

The latest reports via Hong Kong repre-
sent the revolt in the Philippine Islands TO
be spreading, and the governor general
waiting the arrival of heavy reinforcements
from Spain before undertaking extensive
operations against the rebels. The serious
ness of the situation is apparent when il is
remembered that the native population of
the islands numbers fully eight millions,
while the whole European population, in
cluding all the Spanish officials and sol
diers, comprises not more than 10000.
The insurrection has been particularly
active in the largest and most prosperous
island of the group, Luzon, the seat of the
government. Seven provinces of the island
have been proclaimed as in revolt, and even
the suburbs of Manila have been repeatedly
raided by rebel guerrillas. In the province
of Cavite, the insurgents are in almost
complete control, except the town of
Cavite, which the Spaniards hold with the
help of their gunboats. The Spanish can
not trust the native soldiers in their army,
considerable number of whom have gone
over to the insurgents and taken their arms
with them and this probably is one rea-
son why the captain general feels it neces-
sary to wait until he is largely reinforced
from Spain before he makes any extensive
movements.
1t seems clear that Spain cannot hold
the Philippines without a serious drain
upon her resources. To be forced to send
%, 900 troops to those mutinous islands, at
a time when she is drafting boys of 10 to
fill her depleted battalions in Cuba, puts
her in an embarrassing situation.

1t is not too late to recognize good
piece of newspaper work which was done
by Geo. II. Blake & Co., of the Barton
Monitor in publishing, under date of Nov.
80, "Centennial edition. which contained
10 pages of illustrations and reading mat
ter, recounting the early history of the
town of Barton, tracing its growth and
progress, and describing the men and insti-
tutions which constitute the Barton of to-
day. The mechanical work is creditably
done, and the issue possesses real interest
and value for all former residents of Or
lea county. In the sketch of the early
history of Barton it is related that its name
'perpetuates the memory of that brave and
sterling patriot, Col. VIM. Barton, who
was the captor of the British General Pres
colt, and was the pioneer settler of this
town." Col. Barton and others petitioned
for a charter for the town in 1871 aud it
was granted eight years later. "Soon af-
ter receiving their charter October II,
1889, the proprietors applied to Luke
Knowlton, a justice of Westminster, who
issued warrant warning meeting of the
proprietors at Brattleboro the second Tues
day of February, 1890" The meeting was
held, the due formalities were observed,
during the summer surveying plans of the
town were made, and they were duly ac-
cepted at a meeting held in October, 179l.

MIR. Rarrett,s Idea.

Representative Barrett of Massachu-
setts has introduced in the House a bill
which requires the President to select
members of his cabinet from either the
House of Representatives or the Senate,
with the exception that the secretary of
the treasury shall be a member of the
House, and the secretary of state shall be
a member of the Senate. While holding
the cabinet portfolios they shall retain
their membership in the House to which
they have been elected, receiving the pay
of cabinet officials, but nothing for their
congressional service. When they cease to
become members of Congress they shall at
the same time cease to be members of the
cabinet. The bill is fashioned closely up
on the lines on which the English cabinet
council is formed. Objection is raised
against the bill that it is unconstitutional
under the provision that members of Con-
gress shall not hold any Office or position
of emolument under the Federal govern
ment,

II. II. Kohlsaat said in an interview in
New York city the other day that Major
Mckinley told him year ago that he
would advocate tariff bill which would be
conservative, a medium between the Nc
Kinley and Wilson bills. This bill would
be sufficient to pay the running expenses
of the government and prevent deficit.
The protective features of it would apply
to those industries that needed protection,
but the tariff on these products would only
be sufficient to cover the differences in
wages between this country and Europe.
Then he favored the program that is now
being carried out, namely, the preparation
at this session of Congress of bill which
can easily be put through when the extra
session meets. Mr.. Kohlsaat predicts the
passage of new tariff bill before the first
of June, and that this will bring about re-
newed activity in business.

Some uneasiness was occasioned last
week by the announcement that the Vene-
zuelan negotiations were likely to be inter
rupted because Venezuela would not give
her approval to the arbitration agreement,
her objections being upon the ground that
she was not directly represented on the ar
bitration board. 1t is now said, however,
that no such difficulty exists, that the de-
tails are all arranged, and the Venezuelan
government is ready TO sign the treaty as
soon as the Minister Andrade reaches
Caracas with the official document. An
effort was made by a Venezuelan politi-
clan, named Michelena, to create trouble,
for his personal ends, but it was unsuccess-
full, and there is no doubt that Secretary
Olney's diplomacy will have signal
triumph in the complete settlement of the
controversy before his term of Office ex-
pires.

Charlie. A. Prouly for Interstate Conn

merce Commissioners.
President Cleveland sent to the Senate
Monday the nomination of Charles A.
Prouty of Newport to be interstate com
merce commissioner to succeed w. G.. Yea
zey, resigned. Mr. Prouty was first sug-
gested to the President by Senator Proctor.
Senator Morrill, and Representative Grout
endorsed the selection, and ex-senator Ed
munds and ex Minister to Great Britain Z.
j. Phelps filed personal letters of recon-
mendation with the President. Mr.. Prouty
was born in Newport 45 years ago and is
one of the ablest lawyers in the state. He
graduated at Dartmouth college and one of
his classmates was Gov-elect Black of New
York. When Mr.. Black heard that Mr.
Prouty was being considered for the posi-
tion he called on the President. In telling
of Mr.. Prouty's college days Gov. Black
said to the President: "He was so brilliant
young man that he easily took every
prize he went after, and the rest of us were
not in it at any time" Mr.. Prouty was
admitted to the bar at an early age and has
since practiced his profession at Newport,
although in the past few years he has been
known throughout the state as a railroad
counsel He was states attorney of Or
leans county 1SS2-S6, and made his mark
as a representative in the legislature of
1888. He has been reporter of the Yer
mont supreme court, president of the Yer
mont bar association, and last June was
one of the delegates at large to the Repub-
lican national convention. His salary in
the new position will be $500 a year. Mr..
Prouty is the third Vermonter to be named
for interstate commerce commissioner. The
first was Col. Aldace f. Walker of Rutland.
Col. Walker resigned to become chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Railway associa-
| tion, and later was chairman of the West
ern Traffic association. AS receiver is now
at the head of the noted Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad system.
He was succeeded by Colonel and ex-
Judge Wheelock G. Veazey, who now gives
place to Mr.. Prouty. Grand Army men
throughout Vermont will learn with sor-
row that Col. Veazey has recently sustain
ed a third stroke of paralysis and now lies
in critical condition at Dorchester, Mass.
