The statement OF the New York Times
that the Lebanon Springs railroad was
built by Commodore Vanderbilt, for an
extension OF the Harlem railroad, is wide
of the facts The road was built by
Trenor W. Park: and il was because the
Vanderbilts would not allow 1t to be run
as part of n through line from New
York TO Montreal. by way of the Harlem
road. that the Lebanon Springs road
proved Improbable and came to grief. OF
course Gov. Smith never placed any OBJ

New England and Vermont Sentiment

The New York Independent remarks
that throughout New England the Repub-

question Of expansion. although the
unanimous vote of the Vermont Legisia-

II the Independent will stop to think. it
will see that the very fact that the vote
was unanimous throws doubt upon IL. as

"a comparison of the war with Spain
and the war of the Rebellion" was the
toast given to Hon. Henry Ballard. The
subject he said, was n great one. Some
say there was not enough OF a contest to
be called a war, but it may prove in its
aftermath equal to the war of the Rebel
lion. The Civil war was the greatest
event OF our country's history and per-
haps the greatest of the world. The ef-
feet of the war will he felt as long as
the world exists. 1t tested a government
of the people. The war with Spain was a
most remarkable one. Its duration was
but ia days. 1t was the first war purely
for humanitys sake. 1t was predicted
that other nations would interfere, but
they did not do It, After the battle oi
Manila the eyes of the world were opened
to our navy. All our killed and wounded
Just about equals the number killed
wounded and captured Mt n little battle
known as Wilson's Raid during the Civil
war, in which the Vermont cavalry TOOK
part. Nermont's Dewey has gone to the
top. In history the Spanish war will
never compare with the Civil war. But
results are different. Expansion is now
the great question, and it must be settled
by public opinion. What shall say the
voice of the Loyal Legion? We cannot
now give up the Philippines. Mr.. Ballard
closed his remarks with an argument foi
I the retention of the Philippines.
Herbert Brainerd was called upon an6
responded briefly telling a story.
Gen w. l.. Greenleaf read n poem first
written for reading at a meeting of tn,
California commandery on THE Battle 81

The quartette sang "The Rolling Sea.
after which Willard Harrington was call
ed upon and requested To speak upon
subject he might himselm select. He fol
lowed the trend of thought observed dur
ing the evening and discussed the result!
of the war with especial reference 10 n,
future policy of the United States. fl
said that If the people of the conquered
territory We're capable of se,f-governme n
then we wanted them. If not we do no
