Opposition to Reorganization nuI.

"a thorough inquiry was made among
representatives and senators bv the Free
Press correspondent and 1t was found that
strong opposition was forming on the
statement that the unsecured Indebtedness
of the road was not cared for in the plan
Of Reorganization on which the bill was
drawn and introduced. Further inycstiga.
ton Of the plan and the condition Of the
road show that the bill enacted into law
would enable a robbery which would dis
gust every honest resident in the state.
The issuing of Sl2, 600, 900 in bonds by the
new organization will amply suffice for all
Indebtedness OF the road, secured and I'M
secured, and it is popularity believed will
leave bonus in the hands OF the reutgan-
i1ers with good paying property under It's
control II is generally understood that a
majority of the stock will be held by the
Grand Trunk railway, but the provision is
that a majority Of the directors must be
residents OF this state, who have a right Of
appeal to American courts. Ii shows that
Vermont interests can be properly guarded
and puts the property in the best possible
condition. The railroad committee of the
house met Friday and are supposed to
have transac'e some business, but nothing
is made public. However. it is safe to
predict that, unless the bill is mod fed to
provide for the Indebtedness stated in this
| article. some Stony sessions Of that com
Injttee are in store. With all honest in
debtedness provided for, it is sure the bill
will meet with no opposition in the lecsla-
ture, A law will be passed which will not
stain the honor OF the state or any resident,
expensive litigation 10y creditors will be
stopped and the road placed on sound
| financial basis, which will mean renewed
period of prosperity that Nermonters will

Our National Guard.

Adjt.-Gen. Peck in his annual report
recommends that a second regiment Of our
national guard, OF eight companies. be or
gained
We fancy that Gen. Peck's recommen-
dation will not be effective with the legis.
lature. II there were really any danger of
its adoption, protest should 90 up from
the people Of the state that would shake
the capital. In view of thu complete and
utter breakdown of our National Guard
system upon its first practical trial, and of
the stories the soldiers are telling of the
conditions at Chickamauga, we can not
imagine a more untimely, impractical sug-
gestion than this of Gen. Peck's.
What the legislature should do, is to
make a thorough and sweeping re0rganiza-
ton of our National Guard, and such re-
organization should include some radical
changes - Burlington News.

The Time Extended.
The SpanIards WIN Not Get Out of Cuba
Until Jan.I.

A telegram from Gen. Wade at Havana
was read at a meeting of President McKin-
ley and his cabinet Monday, recommend
ing that the limit of time allowed the Span
iards to vacate Cuba be extended from
Dec to Jan. |. He said that it would be
physically impossible for the 100000 Span
ish troops now in the island to leave before
the first of the year, and he regarded the
extension of time as reasonable and Just
After the matter had been discussed at
some length an agreement was reached
and Gen. Wade was telegraphed that his
recommendation was approved In the
meantime, however, the United States
troops now in Cuba and others to be de,
spatched will take possession of the terri
tory as fast as the Spaniards vacate it,
probably leaving Havana until the last.
In regard to the reported purpose of the
Spaniards to dismount and remove to Spain
the heavy ordnance of the forts and arse
nails about Havana it was stated in posi-
tive terms that nothing of the kind would
be permitted, and if this movement already
had begun it would be stopped at once.

burdens.
1t has been suggested by eminent au-
thority that it might be wise to transfer
the oversight of the two per cent corpora
ton tax upon insurance companies to this
department, because of the closer knowl-
edge a commissioner would have over the
business of the companies. Equallygood au-
thority suggests adding to the commission
ers duties some of those which in other
states fall to fire marshal, the retiring
governor having wisely outlined the need
of such an official.

as prospective improvement in service IL

The Tennessee regiment which has
gained unenvlable notoriety by the lawless
conduct of some of its men, will be subject
ed to a rigid examination before starting
for Manila. All undesirable men, as well
as all who have become in any way inca
pacitated for active service, will receive an
honorable discharge and transportation to
their homes. The great majority of the
regiment is composed of fine men, of good
families, but in making up quotas of com
panies vacancies were filled with a poor
class of recruits from large cities. 1t is
these fellows who are now being weeded
out.

The Cost of Cleaning Havana.

From the New \ ork Mail and Express
The filth of Havana beggars description
and defes credulty. Col Warng, the
chief of the sanitary commission sent to
report upon the sanitary condition of the
principal cities of Cuba, is quoted as say
ing that ii he were to tell the truth about
the unhealthy condition of Havana, he
would not be believed. Tie Mail and Ex-
press has published trustworthy testimony
upon this subject from its own correspond
ent which indicates that words are made
quate to picture the noisome squa or of a
city that has accumulated beneath its foun-
dations the dirt of centuries. An impress
sive confederation of these reports is found
in the cold estimate of Col. Waring that il
will cost S22 600, 600 to rid Havana and its
harbor of those menaces to health which
are today the most serious deterrent in the
peaceful invasion of American capital and
enterprise 1t is big bill to pay, but it
must be paid as The initial price of our
greater national wealth, regardless of the
specific form of government under which
Cuba is to attain its fullest development.

From the New England Magazine, Edwin d
Mead
We have spent S300000,00 in a war
with Spain. We are in the outer circles
OF the maelstrom of a policy which means
larger armies, larger navies, costIier forts
and more of them, and all the parapherna-
liza of the old world militarism which we
have prided ourselves of being free from
ton, the devotion to waste and destruction
of the immense resources which might 9TH
erwise go to development and progress.
The man who does not see that we are in
the outer circles of this maelstrom is
fool; and the man who, seeing it, has no
forebodings is not a student of history.

The American Missionary association
has closed its fiscal year with all obliga-
tions on the year paid, with the old debt
of $50, 900 wiped out and balance of 500
in the treasury for the new year. Some of
the work has been cut down to bring about
this result. The association, in its execu-
tive committee and officers, has followed
what it believed to be the direction of the
churches in keeping the work inside of the
income.
