Electric Railways.

Editor of Watchman:-The resolution in
corporated into the platform adopted by the
Republican county convention touching the
matter Of electric railways was well put
and timely. / know that memory of the
money invested by our forefathers to build
the Vermont Central railroad is chilly, yet
the funds were well invested for us, their
descendants What would be our condi
ton now supposing the road had never
been constructed, though the discrimina-
ton against US in the matter of freight as
compared with the West, is great and
crying wrong? The electric roads we also
want for the accommodation and happi-
ness Of ourselves, our children and our
children's children. Now let US go about
the matter and help to build the roads. AS
soon as we are in earnest about this matter
and can show that the roads will pay in
conveying freight and passengers up and
down our beautiful valleys, in such a neat
and expeditions manner, and at SO slight
expense as compared with steam roads,
capital will come forward and be ready to
build such roads wherever they will pay,
with the help of the towns through which
they pass, or of the people who live in such
towns.
The various benefits and conveniences
that will come to people from the construc-
ton OF electric roads cannot now be stated.
In conversation with the candidate for
Senator for this county, from Warren,
about this matter, he said, I'VE will have
the roads" II we were all OF the same
opinion would there be any doubt as to the
outcome OF these enterprises? Let us thank
the fertile brain Of William Chaplin for hav
ing the resolution appear in the platform
of the convention.
My obj ,ct in this communication is to
keep the matter in the minds of and before
the people. And now. after long centu-
ries of time have passed, we have at last
harnessed electricity and have it at our
command OnrSalVna
marvellous workings and make our lives
richer and happier, and that we may the
better realize the great blessing we confer
upon our children and all posterity.

Senator Proctor On the War.

AT thanksgiving meeting at Rut-
land on Sunday, Senator Proctor said :
"We are in the midst of war, but
there are things worse than war. There
are wrongs which cannot be righted in
any way yet devised except by force,
The American people decided that the
long continued tyranny Of Spain in
Cuba must stop and the only way to
make this sure was that her flag must
leave that island, and this war is the
result of that decision.
"There were many in high places,
many men of intelligence and wealth
and business and political standing, who
asked almost in the words of Cain,
Am my brothers. keeper And the
people answered, not hastily, but after
hearing and considering the facts with
patience and long suffering: " Yes,
you are,' and more to the extent that
we will not longer stand idly by and see
our brother man robbed and stabbed
and murdered if it is in our power TO
prevent it.
"Dewey's guns in Manila opened up
great questions before our nation. Ter
ritorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT was not in our
thoughts. But the events of that Sun
day imposed great responsibilities upon
US which we cannot shirk. But can
not doubt that the issue will be met as
becomes people free and enlightened
and wishing all people to share like
blessings. The destines of more than
10000, 900 people will be on our hands.
They are strangers to us in blood and
race; strangers to our laws and GUS
toms and in large measure to our civ
ilization. 1t is not best for us or for
them that they should be made part
of our body polite. Hereafter our flag
will float on every sea and fash in the
morning sun of every cline. And al
our people-North and South, East and
West, born or adopted, wherever they
may be-will be proud to avow theil
American citizenship.

quarian's reverence for political pre-
cepts that had force and wisdom in the
period of the Nations infancy and
weakness had undoubtedly influenced
some to oppose annexation, and the
real or imaginary interests of the peo-
pie of small sections of the country had
controlled the better judgment of 9th.
ers; but no good and valid, strong and
comprehensive reason why these islands
should not be taken under the flag had
been given by a single objector.
To the cumulative force OF all the
weighty arguments in favor of accept
ing the proffered title to these islands
came the possession Of the Philippines,
as the prospective issue of Admiral
Dewey's great victory in Manila bay.
There came, also, the mighty National
responsibilities that great triumph OF
American naval skill and valor imposed
upon this Nation. Events ordained by
Providence brushed every trivial OF
fanciful or cavailing objection aside,
blighted with patriotic wrath the OBJ
structive schemes of small men beaten
in the appeal TO reason, and clinched
as with the blow of a Titan every con
sideration of reason and inspiration Of
prophecy that for generation had beer

gument in favor of annexation. So Con
gress, by the assem- in each branch Of

contributed to the success OF the
"usurpation," through its representa-
tive and its military force at Honolulu.
The student of the later history Of
Hawaiian affairs is not greatly dis
turbed by this arraignment of the

BE Just To the Cubans.

AS time passes we shall perceive an
increasing disposition on the part of
certain classes to be unfair to the Gu
bans. First, there are the annexation
lists, who will want to show that Cuba
is not fit for independence. They will
set up tie highest standard known to
civilization, and if the Cubans do not
happen to rise to it at once, after four
centuries of oppression and misrule,
they will triumphantly show you that
Cuba should remain under direct Amer
lean domination. Another class that
seeks every opportunity to injure the
Cubans consists Of those ultra-conserv-
atives whose advice was not taken in
the matter of intervention. II only
the Cubans will display their weak
nesses enough these persons will feel
indicated in having opposed all efforts
to free them. Thus, if the Cubans go
TO shooting Spanish prisoners these per-
sons parade the fact as tending to show
the u ter worthlessness of the people
we went TO war for. They do not tell
YOU that the Spaniards for three years
have been shooting their Cuban pris-
oners and that the impulse to retalia-
ton is one of the most human of quail
tiles. The truth Is just here: The
Cubans are no angels and they are not
80 civilized as our Back-bay Bostonians;
but it was necessary to end Spanish
rule in Cuba. When peace comes,
while exercising sufficient restraint TO

Work for Domestic Missionaries,

The Mugwump editors submit with
Ill grace to the adoption by Congress
of the resolution annexing the Hawaiian
islands to the United States.
The Evening Post of New York
piously hopes "that the consequences
flowing from it may be better than our
anticipation, and that the various kinds
of leprosy, moral, physical and indus
trial, prevailing in the islands, may not
be engrafted upon the United States"
With equal fervor might the Hawaiian
pray that the leprosy of mugwumpery,
with its various strains of faint, may
not be engrafted upon his native islands.
That were, indeed, misfortune incur
able as physical leprosy and more dis
astrous in its moral consequences.
Another of this weird cult submits to
the inevitable, its last faltering accents
reiterating its opposition to the meas
ure because the Hawaiian people have
not been allowed to vote on the ques-
ton of annexation. This objection is
purely ethical, development of the.
oretical rather than practical ethics.
1t is open to The accusation Of being
conceived and delivered in bad faith
clearly a makeshift objection. The
European took possession of this con.
tinent without 30 much as "by yonr
leave" addressed to the aborigines
The United States government has
pushed its occupation Of territory to the
Pacific and the Arctic, but neither In
dian, Mexican, Spaniard, Frenchman
Russian nor Alaskan has been asked tC
express a preference in the matter o.
the change of sovereignty. In the case
of Hawaii, annexation will be made by
the assent of the government of Ha
waii, responsible for the good order il
the islands and the best welfare O
their inhabitants. The transfer has {

the people at large was never 80 con
spicuously exhibited in the absorption
of one independent sovereignty by an
other. Objection to annex alton on tn
ground that the people had not bee
consulted, in legal business would b
stigmatized as pettifogging.
Still another is inconsolable over thi
logical issue of fifty years of delibel
alton and discussion because the gov

SECRETARY LONG gives the follow
ing reasons for the success of the navy
in the war-a success never equaled in
any war by any navy-involving, be-
sides individual ships captured or de-
stroyed, the complete destruction of
two Spanish fleets, that of Admiral
Cervera having several warships that
were as fine as any of their class afloat:
First, the skill and mechanical genius
of our people in building the best ships;
second, the high personnel of the navy;
third, the foresight of our naval author
tiles in literally spending money for
ammunition to be used in target prac-
tice; fourth, the help the secretary Of
the navy had from the assistant secre-
tary and the bureau chiefs. 1t will be
remembered that Theodore Roosevelt,
who has just been promoted from lieu
tenant colonel TO colonel, for gallantry
in action before Santiago, was the as
sistant secretary of the navy until after
the fighting began. Secretary Long
said of his bureau chiefs: "When the
navy department saw that war was ap-
preaching, the bureau chiefs were call
ed together and told that they would
be held personally responsible for the
efficiency of their various departments.
Every reasonable amount of supplies
was given them, and they were told
that the navy must be put in thorough
condition. Not enough credit has been
given to these men, who made success
possible by having the navy prepared"

Duty and Destiny OF America.

A reader of the Constitution, congrat-
ulating us on the conservative tone of
the paper in discussing the new ques-
tions that have Unexpectedly arisen as
results of the war, reminds us of the
storm of Indignation which swept over
the country, annihilating party lines
for the time being and submerging
factions, when it was announced that
Mr.. Cleveland had despatched an extra
judicial envoy TO Hawaii for the pur-
pose of hauling down the American
flag that had been raised there and re-
storing the monarchy that had been
overthrown. Our correspondent also
mentions the obscurity into which some
of those engaged in that business have
been engulfed, and he concludes by
suggesting that the administration or
party which undertakes to haul down
the American flag that has been plant
ed in the Philippines will not for long
years to come find the climate of this
republic very healthy.
Well, our correspondent happens 10

feelings in the matter are those Of many
