quite demoralizing. Furthermore, he

The De Laval Hand SeparatOrs.

These separators, which have been adver-
tised on the farm page of the WATCHMAN
for several weeks past, are for sale by Bar
rows Il Peck of this city. Dairymen are
particularly invited to call at the store OF
this firm and examine the machine. II any
one is interested in the matter OF a quicker
cheaper and more economical process of
skimming than by the old-fashioned hand
skinner, or any of the various other devil
ces for cream raising and separating, he is
particularly invited to examine the De Laval
hand separator and find out what good re-.
suits and what savings 1t promises. The
principle OF the machine is the same as in
the power separators used at the creameries
The separator is operated by hand, or other
cheap power, and il is claimed for it THAT
the separation of the cream from the milk
is effected as completely as in the machines
driven by steam power. Besides effective
ness in its work, ease in operation is secur-
ed. These results are not guessed at; they
are susceptible OF convincing proof. II any
dairyman is not interested in new and more
profitable methods OF deriving the largest
possible advantage from the chief product
OF Vermont farming, butter, it is high time
to inquire into the wisdom of buying a hand
separator. A farmer who keeps dairy and
lives some distance from a creamery ought
especially to be interested in having a sepa-
rator In his own dairy. Call at Barrows
q Pecks in Montpelier, see the DeLaval
separator. learn Inducements IL presents to
buy, consider what advantages, and you will
probably buy one OF the machines, make a
handsome saving in the cost of conducting
your dairy and handsome gain in the
amount OF your butter product.

The Condition of Cuba.

The purpose of President Mckinley
to send special agent to Cuba to OBJ
tain information as to the condition of
affairs on the island, and particularly
as to the treatment of American citi-
zens by the Spanish authorities, and
the extent to which the pecuniary in
terests of American citizens have suf-
fered in the Cuban war, is proper and
highly commendable. But it cannot
be supposed that the President is with
out trustworthy information on all
points to which the inquiries of his
special agent would be directed. Min
lister Lee, at Havana, has not been an
idle or unsympathetic or unresponsive
observer of all that has been going on
around him. The consuls of this gov.
eminent have been cognizant of events
in and around the towns to which they
are accredited, and all these official rep
resentatives of the Government of the
United States have reported what their
eyes have seen, their ears have heard,
and the judgments they have made.
There is no lack of official information
respecting the state of affairs in Cuba;
there is no question that every degree
OF offense, from common insult to i'm
prisonment, torture and murder, has
been visited upon American citizens
and that their property losses rise high
among the millions.
Supplementing the reports of this
governments official representatives
are the equally trustworthy accounts of
persons who have visited Cuba and
travelled over the island for the express
purpose of finding out and publishing
the facts about the kind of war Spain
is making in her West Indian posses
sion. Scuba in War Time," by Rich
ard Harding Davis, is publication in
which the author, well-known Amer
lean writer, gives the results of his
personal observations in four of the
six provinces of the island. Frederic
Remington was his companion, a part
of the time, and his narrative ia en-
forced by illustrations from the pencil
OF the famous artist of scenes and in
cidents which are pictures OF barbaric
facts, not the fictions of the delineator.

The Treaty Rejected.

The Senate, having radically amend
ed the Olney-Pauncefote arbitration
treaty, 30 that hardly vestige of the
original compact remained, has finally
rejected the work of its own hands.
In it's original form the treaty never
had the shadow of a chance for its rati-
fication. In its amended form 1t
amounted to little more than declara-
ton that the United States was willing,
as last resort, to submit certain for
eign questions to the decision OF an ar
bitral tribunal. Nothing would have
been lost to the cause of peace on earth
and good will toward men if the treaty,
as submitted to the Senate, had been
straitly rejected. Nothing will be lost
by the rejection of the amended treaty.
American public opinion for genera
tions has been in favor of the peaceful
settlement of international disputes.
Some two score or more instances of
questions, great and small, of which the
most conspicuous was the adjustment
of the Alabama claims, afford ample
evidence of the peaceful disposition of
the people of the United States.
Treaty or no treaty, every proper in
ternational question that diplomacy
cannot settle will be referred to a
specially constituted court for adjust
ment; without general treaty, causes
for disputes and misunderstanding in
reference to matters growing out of the
treaty itself, will be avoided. The de-
mand for the treaty was purely senti-
mental. No better reason for such a
treaty exists than for the incorporation
into the Constitution of the United
States recognition of the existence of
the Deity, a much mooted proposition
a few years ago. Without constitu-
tional recognition, people will continue
to believe in the existence of God, or
in his non-existence, according to their
temperament, or their spiritual or i'm
tellectual makeup; constitutional recog-
milton could change nothing in this
respect. Without the treaty this ma
ton will continue to employ every
honorable means for the aversion of
war; the existence of an arbitration
treaty could change nothing whatever
in this respect. The Senate wisely
amended the dangerous compact of
Olney and Pauncefote, and then with
equal wisdom discarded the emascu-
lated product of its own creation. 1t
is regretable that all Senators who had
convictions on this point, and had en-
phatlcally expressed their convictions,
lacked the courage to vote as they
thought. Personal consistency would
have been maintained, and the national
dignity and good sense manifested.
