Strange as the statement may seem
at first thought, the "hard times" of
the past two or three years is largely
responsible for the we'll equipped
electric street railways at Burlington
and Brattleboro as we'll as the several
other proposed roads in Vermont
which are now certainty. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. The panic drove
the doubtful financial institutions in
the West, in which Vermont money
had been pouring for years, to the
wall, and awakened capitalists to a
realizing sense that safe investments
must be found nearer home These men
had but to give the matter thought
and study to find paying projects
with fair promise of good returns
right at home. The results thus far
are understood to be satisfactory. 1t
is reasonable to believe that more
capital Will be invested in Vermont
enterprises during the next five years
than for the past quarter of a CEN

A fire last week in a theater at Elk
alerinososlav, the capital of South
Russia, caused great loss at life. For

Gen. Maxine Gomez, camped the

Havana, where he passed Monday
night. When last reported Gomez
was moving in the direction of Garu-
co, the most important town in the
province of Havana with the eXcep-
ton of the capital.
The London Daily Neaus is authori-
ty for the statement that Eyvind As
trup, the Norwegian emplorer who
was with Lieutenant Peary in Green
land, is missing. Astrup started dur
ing the Christmas holidays on an ex-
petition in the mountains of Norway
and has not since been heard from. A
party has been formed to go in search
of him.
A dispatch from Madrid says that
Gen. Weyler, the new commander of
the Spanish forces in Cuba, is very
popular. He is an energetic soldier,
and it is expected that he will adopt
severer measures than did General
Campos toward the insurgents and
their direct and indirect aiders. The
government will give General Weyler
20 battaliOns of infantry, 25 squadrons
of cavalry and several mountain bat
terles. Fresh re- endorsements will
be sent to Cuba in February. All the
money required to push operations
decisively before the rains of May set
in will be furnished the new COM

these fish will be seriously reduced,

A Washington special to New
Y ork paper says President Cleveland
has authorized Senator Smith of New
Jersey to make public his opinion of
the Davis resolution reported by the
senate committee on foreign relations.
The Presidents opinion is this:
81 regard the Davis resolution as
mischievous, inopportune and un-
fortunate.''
Cleveland believes the policy en-
ployed by the senate committee
strikes at the head of the principle of
arbitration.
Senator Smith has prepared a reso-
luton declaring that the United
States does not intend to establish a
protectorate in South America, nor
to become responsible in any degree
for the conduct of other American
nations. He discussed the substance
of the resolution with the president
Wednesday.
Secretary Olney has privately ex-
pressed his disapproval of the action
of the senate committee.

VERMONT1S LARGE FIRE LOSS.

The Free Press has taken occasion
at different times to speak of what
seemed to be the exactions of insur-
ance companies, and it in this as in
other cases is determined to stand for
| the rights and interests of the people.
At the same time we cannot shut our
eyes to the fact that many Vermont
towns have suffered from what was
little short of criminal carelessness as
| regards the federation of fire traps.
There is scarcely a leading town in
Vermont that has not suffered serious
ly as result of this carelessness dur
ing the past five years, and some of
them have suffered several times in
the period named.
In spite of this fact there is scarce
ly a city or village in the State which
is not still allowing veritable fire traps
to be erected within the fire limits,
and permitting conditions to prevail
which are most inviting to the fire
fend.
The records show that the losses by
y
aggregated 1913, 1000, while in 1894 the
total losses in the State 1892, 900. The
number of fires in Vermont is said to
be larger in proportion to the number
of Inhabitants than in any other State.
But be this as it may, every resident
knows that large number Of these
fires might have been prevented.
The question now arises, What do
we propose to do about it? Shall we
continue to invite the destruction Of
the business portions of our pest
places by allowing veritable finder
boxes to be erected in close proximi-
ty to business sections, or shall we
enforce the fire ordinances, provide
for better protection against fires and
seek more diligently to ferret out
acts of incendiarism? The question
ought to furnish it's own answer

In the general interest over the dis
cussion of the Monroe Doctrine and
in the report of the Armenian resolu-
tons and the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations has not been able
to consider the subject by requesting
action by the President in declaring
neutrality in the war between Spain
and Cuba. 1t is learned, however,
that the committee has concluded
that it will be wise to wait awhile and
see what effect the recall of General
Campus will have. Some Senators
are sure that Cuban recognition
would have been declared before this
were it not for the change in the COM
mand Of the Spanish forces. Besides,
representations would have been
made from Spanish sources to the eff
feet that the Cubans have no form Of
government that can be described as
meeting the requirements of recog-
milton. One day the government is
reported here and the next day there.
and as to it's exact location members
of the committee profess to be in ig-
norance.

Cooper Not Yet Neglected.

In commenting in Longman's Maya
zine on the recent introduction to the
Study of American Literature" Mr.. An
drew Lang declares that Cooper ''seems
to be u good deal neglected now. No
body goes on the trail with Natty Bum
pc (%sic)." 1t may be that Cooper is
neglected III England. but he has not
been neglected by all recent British au-
thors, for Robert Louis Stevenson read
him and praised him and borrowed
from him, and Mr.. Rudyard Kipling
told an American friend not long ago
that he had just been reading Cooper
through and through with constantly
increasing appreciation. And Cooper is
not neglected by the publishers either
i'll France or i'll America. In Paris not

In the United States the a%dministra-
tion Of the law affecting the civil rights
Of the citizen, his property rights grow
ing out of controversies between man
and man upon contracts, has come to be
regarded rs of much more Importance
than the enforcement Of the law which
protects the life Of the citizen. All can
notice that. The criminal law and its
administration have rather fallen into
disgrace. That is especially true Of the
large cities Of the country. All must
agree that it is more important to pro-
tect a mans life than it is his property.
II the mans life is destroyed. if the as
sassin fires into his house and takes
away his life, is that not a greater dep
rivation than to despoil him Of his
horse or his COW or even Of all the other
property which lie possesses? Now why
is this the case? 1t is largely because Of
the corrupt methods resorted to to de-
feat the laws administration and be-
cause courts of justice look to the shad-
ow in the shape Of technicalities rather
than to the substance in the shape Of
crime. North American Review.

You ignore the fact that there were
two BRAKES, as there are two Cecil

seamanship and audacious courage sue

Port among his orange trees" he be-
came. and will justly remain for all
time. an English hero. But eight years
previously Drake stole the church plate
of Lima. when Spain was ut peace with
England.
His robbery disgraced England and
himself. In the remarkable volume of
letters and state papers relating to Eng
lish affairs edited by Major Sharp
Hume, from the archives at Simancas, l
have counted 80 instances III which the
restitution of Drake's plumber is referred
to by DR.. Mendoza i'll language which
might be employed today by the agent
general of the Transvaal. There was

not, therefore, u good thing to distin.
