The New York Sun.

The Sun is the most complete and the
most comprehensive interesting and in
structive newspaper published in the world.
1t is wise friend and trusted counselor to
every reader and we believe it has always
been read with interest and profit by those
who have been its subscribers or purchasers,
and maybe by those who are not but should
become subscriber s and readers, although
they may not always adopt its opinions on
men and events, or always agree with its
conclusions.
The Sun is always for America and Amer
lean interests, from the first syllable on the
first page to the last on the last page. Its
treatment of every subject is bold, and it
takes its stand on any public question with
the promptness that characterizes persons of
clear convictions and fearless, independent
spirit. The alacrity it exhibited in its de-
cision to support Mckinley for President,
after the surrender of the Democracy to
Populism, and its answering and uncom-
promising support OF the nominee Of the St.
Louis convention, illustrates these charac-
terstics. In many important respects
the Sun was the most efficient and resolute
OF the newspaper supporters of Major Nc
Kinley.
The Sunday Sun is one of the best of the
Sunday papers. Free from the objection
able and sensational features Of the Sunday
papers in general, its columns are filled
with the best of current literature, by the
best of its living writers. We commend this
edition of the Sun to the consideration OF
every one wanting comprehensive, inter-
esting and instructive weekly newspaper.
See the WATCHMAN's clubbing list, and
the Sun advertisement, page three.

Rights OF Revolt.

The report of the mate committee
on foreign relations, in presenting the
Cameron resolution recognizing the
independence of Cuba, goes deeply
into the history of the general matter
of the treatment of people that have
risen against sovereign power. 1t finds
in history, and particularly in the his
tory of European powers, long list of
presidents that justify the action pro-
posed for this country in its treatment
of Cuba. The report shows in what
instances the nations Of Europe have
interviewed to stay the shedding of
blood and finds that the question for
the United States to decide is the ma
ture of the step to be taken in the pro-
posed Intervention between Spain and
her rebellious colony. Coming down
to The events that ended in the enun-
citation of the Monroe Doctrine, and
the recognition of the independence of
the South and Central American repub-
lies that had thrown off the Spanish
yoke, and which were admitted into
the family of nations by the sole author
ity of the President of the United
States, with the approval of Congress,
the report says:
"When President Monroe interposed his
fiat, that no interference could be coun-
tenanced by him except on the basis of in
dependence, he dictated in advance the
only mode of intervention which he meant
to permit. If he waited before carrying it
out, it was only because, in the actual bal
ance OF European and American power, he
felt that isolated action might injure the
cause he had determined to help.
The practice of Europa in regard to inter
vention, as in the instances cited has been
almost invariably harsh and oppressive.
The practice of the United States has been
almost invariably mild and forbearing.
Among the precedents which have been SO
numerously cited there can be no doubt as
to the choice. The most moderate is the
best. Among these, the attitude taken by
President Monroe in 1922 is the only atti-
tude which can properly be regarded as
obligatory for similar situation to-day
The course pursued by the United States in
the recognition of Colombia is the only
course which Congress can consistently
adopt"
Therefore the committee recon.
mended the adoption of the resolution
recognizing Cuban independence, as in
accordance with both European and
American presidents.

Congressional Proceedings.

For additional reports of ,doings in Con-
gress see page three.
MoNDAY.-The general anticipation of an
exciting scene in the Senate over the Came
ron resolution recog aizing the independence
Of Cuba, and particularly over the defiant
position taken by the secretary of state, had
not the effect to bring large crowd to the
galleries this morning. There was no more
than half a fair ordinary attendance of spec
tators, and there was not single occupant
of the diplomatic gallery. Mr.. Cameron
moved that the resolution be laid on the
table, and that it be not taken up until af-
ter the holidays. Agreed to. Senator Vest,
OF Missouri attempted to precipitate de-
bate on the Cuban question by declaring
that Secretary Olney's position was prepos-
ferrous; that it was the first time cabinet
officer had ever commu nicated the views of
the administration on an important public
question through the public press. He
said he had studied the Madison papers,
and was clear in his opinion that the franz
ers of the constitution, in committing to
Congress the power of making war, includ-
ed the smaller question OF the right to rec
OgniZe governments. The Senate passed
Mr.. Calls resolution referring to the alleged
imprisonment of American citizens in Span
ish penal institutions. - But little bust
ness was transacted in the House. Mr..
Evans of Kentucky made a brief speech
against the civil service law. The annual
salary of the librarian was reduced from
So 1000 to So. 900.

As To Advertising-..A straw.

In the issues Of the Montpelier papers OF
December Q and 16, there was an ADVERTISE
ment of free distribution of Doan's Kidney
Pills, at Lester Ii. Greene's drug store, on
Saturday, December 10. The agent of the
company advertising the medicine was in
the city to observe the distribution. An
examination OF the applications developed
the fact that in ratio of about two to one
they came from persons who saw the adj
vertisementi in the WATcHMAN.
Moral: To reach the people of Central
Vermont, advertise in the WATcHMAN.
The subjoined truths are worthy of con-
sideration by ad vertisers. local and general:
One copy OF a newspaper, says an expert
judge, that goes into the HOME and is read
by the FAMILY, is worth more to merchants
who advertise their wares than hundred
sold promiscuously on the streets, or at the
news-stands.
For nearly century the WAToHMAN has
been the great Family Paper of Central
| Vermont.
| 1t goes into more HOMES to-day than ever
before. 1t is taken by thrifty people who
buy goods and pay for them.
1t is taken by more people than any other
paper in Central vermont-very many
more. 1t blankets all the country within a
radius Of from fifteen to twenty miles Of the
Capital. Its circulation is superior in quail
ity as well as quantity.
1t ia, therefore, the best means OF reaching
the people of this region the best paper for
advertising holiday goods-as its columns
show forth-or any other merchandise, at
any time OF the year.
The WATcHMAN will be pleased to publish
your advertisement, in the papers custom
arily tasteful and attractive style, and thus
contribute to your trade and enrichment.
