MANY BOOKS DONATED.
REV. MIR. MITCHELL HANDSOMELY RE-

The book reception and entertain.
ment at the Presbyterian church last
evening was a pronounced success
The friends and members of the society
donated over two hundred useful and
interesting books that tatcn alone will
make very considerable library.
After the books were all handed in
and counted the company adjourned to
the body of the church where a very in
teresting programme was rendered.
Tho first number was a selection by
the choir. Next. MIR. George lngliss
gave a vocal solo in his usual pleasing
manner and had to give an encore in
response to the generous applause.
Miss Phillips then gave very enjoyable
recitation. She was followed by Barres
noted cornet virtuoso, Mr.. William Gil
bertson who played solo and gave IN
encore in response to storm of APP
plause.
Malcomb McIver next took the plat
form and spoke warmly Of the great es-
TEEN in which the Rev. Thomas Mitchell
pastor of the church, is held by all
Then calling MIR. Mitchell to tho plat
form he presented him, in behalf of the
congregation, with very handsome
and costly fur coat. The presentation
came as a complete surprise to Mr..
Mitchell and while he was listening to
the words Of presentation, two other
members of his congr' CATION brought
another gift to the front, and before he
could say a word James Duncan, in a
happily worded speech presented him
with very nice cabinet book case in
oak.
AS soon as he had in measure re-
covered from his surprise, MIR. Mitchell
took the platform and in short but
heartfelt speech of acceptance thanked
his people for their great kindness TO
him.
Following the presentation Mr.
Stephenson recited 1.-The Cotter's Satur-
day Night" lie received much APP
plause and gave as an encore Burns "To
a Louse." MIR. Symnors next gave
selection on the violin, and like the
others had to respond to generous ap-
plause with an encore.
Mr.. Peter Ncvin, President of the Y.
P. A, next took the platform and in
short speech heartily thanked those who
had brought books, for their generous
gifts. Mr.. Malcomb McIver WAS called
again and, in few we'll chosen words
thanked those who took part in the en-
tertainment and the congregation for
their attendance and close attention.
The programme closed by the audience

LEGISLATIVE WORK.

The special correspondent of the Burling
ton Free Press gives the following account
of the opening OF the hearing on the high
license bill: Mr.. McGeary, author of the
bill, was the first speaker. He naturally
| supported the measure and in short
speech made the statement that his main
argument would be made upon the floor
| of the House.
Judge l.. II. Thompson of the Supreme
| Court was asked to state his views on the
| ability of the courts and officials in en-
forcing the prohibitory law. His effort
was pronounced by all present as the abIest
defence of the prohibitory law given IN
many day. He spoke in calm, dignified
but forcible manner which convinced his
hearers that the law could be enforced.
Without attempting in any way to repro
duce his words few points made are given:
He exploded completely the claims that the
prohibitory law made sneaks of men by
comparing violaters of the prohibitory law
with any other class of criminals. the thief
is nothing but a sneak. A man who sets
fire to your house is not an upright man,
but acts the part of coward. The judge
then reviewed the work of the courts,
various counties where his official duties
had taken him and gave facts and figures
showing that in every county, in every
case which had come to his knowledge,
there had been convictions against viola
tors of the prohibitory law.
At the end of this review no one doubte
the ability of the court to secure convic-
tions. He stated that as a result of his ex-
perience he was convinced that when
compared with other criminal laws the
prohibitory law was well enforced. He
also suggested that where there was diff
Guilty in enforcing the prohibitory law in
a commonwealth like Vermont he would
recommend a change in men rather than
change in the law. His citations of changes
in counties during his experience where
efforts to enforce the prohibitory law had
been made were unquestionable proof of
the statements he made, and gave to the
temperance cause a strength the most able
theorist could never bring it. At the
.cIose Of Judge Thompson's speech an ad-
jOurnment was taken until evening.
The evening session was held in Bepre-
sentatives hall. Mr.. Swasey of Barre made
a bitter attack on the present prohibitory
law. With the aid of Mr.. McGeary he ex-
hibited list of names of saloon keepers
in Vermont on a piece of paper about
three rods in length. Hon. Frank Plum
ley of Northfield was the next speaker who
spoke in defence of the present law. He
claimed that if it was good thing to close
saloons one dry in the week as proposed
in McGeary law it was seven times as
good a law which kept saloons closed
seven days in a week. Another. point he

MERTCAN AND SPANISH
COMMISSIONERS DIFFER.

| The American and Spanish commits
sioners in Paris are differing on the
disposition of the Philippines, and the
! press Of France is bowling over the
So called greediness Of the United
States, and claiming that as the Uni
ted States went to war to free Cuba
| that they should be satisfied now that
has been accomplished and rest there.
While although they insist that we
are grinding Spain down because we
have the power yet they do not cite
many instances where the conquering
nation has demanded no indemnity of
any kind and has paid the whole ex-
pense of a war because Of their Joy of
being the winner. The country was
obliged to seize the Philippines is
lands as war measure and now that
they are on our hands they must be
disposed Of. 1t would not be right to
turn them over to Spain to treat as
she treated the Cubans, and as she
has treated all her Colonial posses
sions. She could not subdue the in

be but short time before European
nations would be fighting over them.
Some of our statesmen advocate Civ
ing them self government under
the protection Of this country, but
they are people who are not in a
condition to govern themselves and
if we were to be responsible to foreign
nations for their actions without ad-
ministering their government we
would be in hot water most of the
time. The question OF these islandsis
a great one to be settled and it is hard
to determine what is the best method
to be employed, but instead of fight
ing whatever course is pursued by the
government, the people should all
stand together and try and make
success of whatever course is taken,
which at present seems to be annexa-
ton to this country.

The continual agitation of high Ii
cense that has prevailed in the state
during the past year and the recent
position assumed by many republi-
can papers which have hitherto been
uncompromising advocates of prohi-
bition had undoubtedly created sem
timent which would have resulted in
a larger vote for the local option
measure now before the house than
has ever yet been given a bill of a
similar nature. But the action Of
Representative McGeary at the pub
lie hearing Tuesday evening must
certainly have disgusted even the
most rabid high license advocate and
cannot fail of depriving the bill of
nearly all the republican support
which had been claimed for it. A bill
championed after the McGeary fash
ion deserves defeat even were it not
doubly dead before it was introduced.

This ceded government surrounds
the Gulf Of Fonsica on the Pacific side
The Constitution frovides for Pre-
sident elected for four years by the
direct vote or the people, with a pre-
vision against immediate reelection.
1t is provided also that the three
presidents, Zealaya, Gutirrez and
Bonilla shall not be eligible at the first
election, thus removing all possibility
of influences favorable to one of the
executives.
The president is made the command
erin chief CT the army and navy and
his functions are much in line those
of the President of the United States.
The inauguration Of the President is
fixed for March II, and in the mean
time the executive will be directed by
a council of three elected by the gen
eral assembly.
The presidential election occurs the
first Sunday in December and at the
same time representative to the new
house will be elected
The legislative power is given to a
congress of two houses, the senate be-
ing made up Of six senators from each
state and three from the federal dis
trict while the house one representa-
tive from each so, 900 inhabitants.
This makes a senate of 21 members and
a house of about 70 men bers. The con-
gress meets March 1.
The federal judiciary provided by
the constitution is patterned after the
system of the United States. They
retain control over affairs of purely
local character and have legislatures
and direct local affairs
The Nicaraguan project would here
after be under the direction of the new
republic as it is a national question,
The constitution provides, however,
that all obligations of the seperate
states, entered into prior to Novem-
Der I. will be upheld, so that any con-
cessions made by Nicaragua prior to
that date will be operative.

Ex- Governor Woodbury., who is on
the commission to investigate the af-
fairs OF the soldiers who were station
ed at Chickamauga, has returned to
Burlington, where he will take the
testimony of some of the Vermont
troops. The governor was practically
non-committal regarding the work of
the commission only saying, "With-
out stating that think the war de-
partment is responsible or not for the
diseases which causes the suffering
and death with which the army was
afflicted, will say think that much
of both was caused by the imprudence
of the volunteer soldier himself. The
soldier is proverbially prodigal of his
strength and health. Before stricken
with disease he feels that nothing
can make him i'll. He eats and drinks
everything that his appetite Graves,
and violates nearly all the laws Of hy-
giene. He thus becomes an easy vic
tfn to impure water, unfavorable
climatic conditions and all unsanitary
surroundings. Whatever fault there
may have been it was not due to
lack of rations."
