BILE to go back 10 the old oil lights or to
go without any lights. There was no
reason, however, for running lights all

that it was the business of the trustees to
settle the matter ultimately. They could
do as they liked, though the village

missing. too. After further debate Hon.

SHADES motion so as to authorize the
the trustees to make such arrangements
for street lighting as they saw fit. The
amendment was adopted and the meet

Those patriots down at Washington
and elsewhere who tore up the turf in
their efforts to get to the front and
whoop for war Immediately upon the ap-
pearance of President Cleveland's rip
roarious message on the Venezuelan
question should get that document out
and reread it. Then they will appreciate
the following, which is all that Queen
Victoria thought it necessary to say on
the subject in her speech to parliament
last week:
The government of the United States
have expressed wish to cooperate in
bringing to close the difficulties which
have existed for many years between my
government and the republic of Venez-
uela regarding the boundary between
that country and British Guiana. have
expressed my sympathy with the desire
to come to an equitable arrangement,
and trust that further negotiations will
lead to a satisfactory settlement.

If the State papers which are using un-
limited amounts of good space tor the
discussion of the governorship, matter
about which people in general care very
little, would devote that space TO setting
forth the extent TO which the State Is
foohng away money and to proposing
remedies, they might accomplish some
thing worth while. Here is statement
OF interest in this connection. made by
the New England Homestead:
VermOnt's State expenditures were
SlS2. 900 annually before the war. but
last year were 5000. 900. Her taxed prop
.prty then was 81 millions, now lbs mill
lions, while population is now only 333,
600 compared to 3lj, 900 i'm 1850 In other
words, VermOnt's expenses have in
creased nearly two and a half times,
while taxed property has not doubled
and population has remained stationary.
State expenses were only 81 cents for
each man, woman and child in Yer
mont in 1850. bur now are 81 so; these
expenses were So lG for each 5 900 of
taxed property then, against S3.77 now.
This shows that even frugal Vermont
has shared In the general extravaganza.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER %, 1896.

There is no truth in the sensational
story flashed ovef the wires from
Washington to the effect that the Re
publican members of the Board of Re-
gents of the Southeast District Nor
NAL School are working up a scheme
to GUST Prof. w. d. Vandiver from
the Presidency of the Normal Faculty
because he is a Democrat. Mr.. Van
diver has been electedto Congress and
1t is understood that he will hand in
his resignation as President of the
Normal Faculty about the first of
March, so there is no occasion for his
being ousted. A majority of the men,
bers of the Board of Regents are Re-
publicans but they + not the kind OF
men who hatchups schemes. The special
meeting of the Board called for De-
cember 9th is probablycalled to elect
a man to take Prof. Vandiver's place
when that gentleman retIres to take
his seat in Congress but no effort will
be made at this meeting to Gust Mr..
Vandiver. Republicans are not schem-
ers. They are honest, honorable gen.
tlemen.

spain,s Record in Cuba.

The burden of proof rests upon
Spain if she is to be acquitted of the
charge of numbering Antonio Mace.
Spain's record in Cuba for genera
lions is one of bad faith and black
villainy. Here are a few incidents in
that record: In 1871 Juan Clemente
Zenea went from New York to Cuba
as diplomatic agent for the purpose
of comforting with the rebels under
the protection of a safe-conduct, sign
ed by the Spanish minister at wash
ington and by Captain General Bal
maceda. On his arrival he was ar
rested and shot.
After the unsuccessful revolt of 1879,
Arcadia Leite Vidal, Cuban leader,
was invited to dinner at Santiago de
Cuba by the commander OF a Spanish
gunboat. He accepted the invitation
and during the dinner was strangled.
Early in 1895 Manuel Garcia, Cuban
leader, was assassinated by a treach-
erous member of his band, hired by
the Spanish government to commit
this murder
In April, 1895, Flor Crombet, Cuban
leader, accepted an invitation to con-
fer with the Spanish commander al
Palmarito. He was ambushed and
shot.
Every one of these acts of treach'
cry, as the Rochester Democrat re-
marks, a just as vile, just as dis
honorable to Spain, as the latest act
of ~treachery attributed to the Spanish
commanders in Cuba. Those who
treacherously murdered Zenea, Vidal,
Manuel Garcia, Flor Crombet, would,
as a matter of course, treacherously
murder Antonio Maceo if they could,
To lure a cuban. Commander into al
ambush, by inviting him to a confer
ence, and to treacherously murder
him, is exactly what a Spanish com
mander in Cuba might be expected tC
do. That sort of thing is justifiable
strategy, honorable warfare, accord
ing to Spanish standards.
