One recruit of the John L. Sullivan class
has come forward to offer his services in
defense of the country. He is John Law
son, the Terrible Sweede," more or less
well known in this city. He has written
letter in which he says that since there
is no more money in the prize ring. he is
going TO join the navy and fight Span
iards If Lawson displays the same quail
tiles in the navy that he displays in the
ring the Spaniards will have TO kill him
before they can convince him that he Is
whipped; and it may be doubted that they
have got anything in their fleet that can
hit him hard enough 10 kill him.

The Louisiana suffrage plan, adopted by
the constitutional convention on Friday,
and outlined in our dispatches,
is essentially a Louisiana product.
1t is, according to the New Orleans Pic
ayune, modelled after the constitution of
neither Mississippi nor South Carolina, but
contains provisions distinctively peculiar
and unique. The Picayune believes shat
it will be invulnerable to attack either in
Congress or the Supreme Court of the
United States, and that it is in harmony
with the Federal constitution. Says our
contemporary: 1T is honest, it counte-
nances and encourages no fraud, and Gre
ates no officials who are expected to Ter
form questionable or dishonorable acts

The Course OF Events.

Separated from the bushels of chaff with
which the daily papers are loaded the grains
OF wheat Of real history that have been win
moved out during the past week are sub
stantially the following:
On Wednesday, April 20, President Nc
Kinley signed the Cuban resolution, adopted
by Congress- aud cabled his ultimatum to
Minister Woodford at Madrid. The Presi-
dents demand was that Spain withdraw
from Cuba, and Saturday noon was the time
limit for SPANS reply. A copy of the ulti-
matum was at the same time handed to the
Spanish minister at Washington, Senior
Polo, who Immediately demanded his pass-
ports and withdrew to Montreal.
Minister Woodford did not have an op-
portunity to present the Presidents ultima
tum to the Spanish government. Early on
Thursday morning Spanish note which
had been prepared during the night was de-
livered to the minister with his passports.
Surprise was expressed in this country that
General Woodford should have given Spain
the opportunity to forestall his action by
sending him his passports, and practically
"kick him out of the country" 1t Is now
explained that the Presidents dispatch was
received in Madrid at eleven o'clock,
Wednesday night, but was held by the
government till three o'clock Thursday
morning. Meantime the Spanish govern
ment had been informed by Senior Polo of
the character Of the ultimatum, and thus,
through this new illustration Of the du-
plicity OF Spain, the American minister was
prevented from complying with the instruc-

Editor Of Waterman - Thanks to the
WAToHMAN for saying few weeks ago,
"Middlesex will present the name of @. O.
Putnam, Jr., for county Senator" The
statement is correct and Middlesex Is
unanimous in the matter. Mr.. Putnam is a
man of splendid business ability, OF strict
integrity, Of legislative experience and Of
true and tried patriotism. He can talk
forcibly and to the point when words are
necessary, and has that rare faculty OF
knowing when to keep still. He comes Of
the pioneer Puritan ancestry that settled in
Washington county towns in 1885. They
gave the State, from 1892 to 1888, thirty
years service in the Vermont House OF
Representatives, and were also represented
(near the 'front.' in most of the great battles
OF the nation from Bunker Hill to Gettys.
burgh. G. @. Putnam, Jr., in the heyday
OF his youth, joined with the Thirteenth

flower of Southern chivalry. We ask for
his nomination as "eminently fit to be
made" and for the good of the county and
State. Why not make it unanimous2

in another column on the same page 1t
was stated in the dispatches from
Washington, in the humble guise truth
more often wears, that "there will be
no bombardment of Havana" with the
reasons for combining the work of the
feet, for the present, to the simple
business of blockading the port. Thus
do the dailies, for the most part, give
the news. A paragraph contains the
announcement of startling event; the
next paragraph denies the preceding.

Up With the Flag.

All the country is ablaze with patri-
otto ardor. The troops of the regular
army have gone to their camps amid
public manifestations of the liveliest
interest, and in answer to the call of
the President for volunteers the re-
cruiting stations are thronged by men
eager to enlist. Ships, batteries, regi-
ments are proffered the government
from every quarter. These patriotic
contributions are without distinction of
section, or occupation, or color, or pre-
vious condition of local or political or
racial antagonism.
The story of the great uprising would
fill columns of this newspaper. From
ocean to ocean, from the northern
boundary to the Gulf, there is one
country and one flag. In spite of some
wrangling and disagreements as to de-
tails in the national councils, there is
fervent unity on the main issue, the
expulsion of the barbarian Spaniard
lIOLu thO OOuhbiJ hO huo hiioSONOihOo
and oppressed, and the establishing of
free and Independent government for
the long suffering victims of his inca
pacity to rule and his medieval and
historic cruelty.
No people ever went to war in a
holier cause. The history the Amer
lean nation is making in the closing
years of the century is the most re-
markable and the most inspiring in the
records of all time, even in the story of
our own proud times. An instructive
love of liberty may move men to strike
for their own freedom. A higher mo-
tive, purpose that was bequeathed to
mankind by the victim of Calvary, i'm
pels the nation to make for the free
dom of another the sacrifices of blood
and treasure its people have endured
for themselves and their children.

Senator Proctor.

II any reasonable person ever had
doubt-which he never did-as to the
wisdom of Governor Pages selection
of successor to Mr.. Edmunds in the
Senate of the United States, selec-
ton the Legislature has twice confirm
ed, that doubt has been resolved by
the evidence always presented in his
senatorial career that Proctor is the
man for any emergency.
In the crisis of the Cuban question,
when congressman were wrangling
and acting at cross purposes, he was the
Cesar of the situation. If he were
as egotisticel as "Great C@sar"-and
he was as graphic in his discourse-he
might say, in respect of the whole later
Cuban situation, II came, saw, con-
quered." Other Senators went to Cuba
on tour of investigation, but it was
always Proctor's observations and his
"plain, unvarnished ale,":that carried
conviction to the congressional and the
executive mind, and to the public mind
as well. There was no appeal from
Proctor. Senators and Representatives,
and men of all classes, have eulogized
his public service and the manner of
it, and citation from his speech in the
Senate has been as conclusive of q
point under discussion in debate on
Cuban affairs as decision of the su-
preme court of the nation.
Senator Proctor has been upholding
Vermont's ancient fame in the national
councils, and has raised it several
notches. He has been, par excellence,
the man for the times. The Cuban pa
triOt will owe some large debt for his
freedom to this son of old Green Noun
tain sires. He was fitted by his nature
and by the traditions of an ancestry
that had, on their own hook, long
tussle with oppression among the fast
nesses of the Green Mountains, to
sense the real situation of the Cuban
patriots among their mountains, and to
sympathize with them in their battle
for freedom. And he is a true repre-
sentative OF Vermont in all he has done
and said and felt for the Cubans.

The Cuban Republic.

The nearest approach to a reason,
good or bad, why this government
should not recognize the independence
Of the republic of Cuba is that given
by the leading representative in New
England of modern toryism, the Boston
Herald, that such recognition would
leave 100000 Spaniards in Cuba to the
tender mercies of the insurgents.
No doubt the Spaniard in Cuba
would have as good reason to feel So
licitous for the safety of his person and
property, after the withdrawal of the
military forces of Spain, as did the
tories in this country when the British
troops sailed away to England. Many
of that class took counsel of their fears
and embarked for the mother country,
also. They Jared hard IN Vermont in
the early years Of the States existence.
But it never occurred to our fathers
that solicitude for the safety of their
enemies was valid reason for the de.
NAL Of their independence, and the idea
could be conceived only by that politi-
cal freak OF modern times, the Mug
wump.
The Herald is also racked with doubt
as to whether or not the residue OF the
population Of Cuba, a million of in
habitants, more or less, want independ-
ence. The 10000 in the army of Co.
mez, it presumes, may desire indie
pendence, but they constitute very
small fraction Of the whole Cuban popu-
lation. This line of reasoning, too,
would be conclusive to the pent-up
Mugwump mind, but it would have
tricked the American colonists out of
their independence, and there would
have been no United States of Amer
ica-a country which, in the judgment
of the Godklns of the Evening Post of
New York, the Herald of Boston, and
other newspapers of that cult, is not
worth dying for, or is 30 wretchedly
misgoverned that it ought to revert to
England and pass again under the do
minion of the British crown.

the functions of government. Well, in
what material respect does this con-
ception of the Cuban government differ
from the government the American
colonies set up, and under which they
fought the War of the Revolution?
The government of the Continental
Congress was not exceedingly coherent
and effective, and was "wheeled" about
from place to place as circumstances
compelled. When Washington re-
treated from New York, across New
Jersey, the seat of government gather
ed itself together and stole away from
Philadelphia to Baltimore. When the
British came up the Chesapeake, Con-
gress fitted to Lancaster and then to
York, Penn; and in other emergencies
it showed commendable agility in seek
ing safety in place remote from Brit
ish military occupation. The seat of
the American government was son
Wheels" Gin the saddle" and in every
other situation the flippant critics of
the Cuban republic delight TO locate its
government.
The edicts of the Continental Con-
gress, it is fair to assume, in the light
of all the evidence of past and contem-
poraneous history, were no better-if,
indeed, as faithfully-observed as the
laws of the Cuban Legislature. The
names of the officers of the Cuban gov
eminent were published on page three
of last weeks issue of the WATCHMAN.
Something has become known of brave
old Gomez. President Maso is man
of education, great intelligence, and
periodically devoted, his fortune and
person, to the cause of Cuba Libre.
He is also man experienced in affairs,
capable and worthy of governing. The
vice-president is man of similar char
acter. All the chief officers are men of
good estate in Cuban affairs. They are
not cowboys or brigands. The legisla-
ture, an elective body, makes laws that
are enforced and obeyed over half OF
Cuba; the other half is a district
stripped of its people by Spanish
oppression, in which there is nothing
for the exercise of sovereignty. The
government is administered under q
written constitution. Taxes are as
sessed and collected, school system
supported, industries prosecuted, and
all the machinery of government ade-
quate for the circumstances is in oper-
alton. Few lent believing ear to the
stories of Spanish barbarity in Cuba till
Senator Proctor and his colleagues
went on their tour of observation.
When some adventurous statesman
shall perform similar service for the
Cuban republic, credulity and captious
judgment as to the shadowy character
of that government will also melt away
No Intervention for the pacifcation OF

the government of the Cuban republic
into account, and that does not seeh
a close and active cooperation with it,

were reason and justice, prudence and

Senate for the recognition of the Cuban
republic. That measure of justice

THE Mortified Ne,us is of the opin-
ion that the application of business
principles and customs to such i'm
portant offices as State treasurer, Sec
rotary of State, and State auditor, "will
not stand the test Of reason" and that
''such specious reasoning would prac-
tically give an official life tenor Of
public SERVICE" And yet the public
seems to be regarding the Ne,os' view
of this matter as exceedingly bass. Its
way was not at all the way Mortified
and the State at large were regarding a
long tenure of Office by worthy and
competent official when Hon. George
Nichols OF Mortified was holding the
Office Of secretary of State, term after
term, for some twenty consecutive
elections-and he was one of the best
officials the State ever had. The duties
and responsibilities of all these officers
are now much more onerous and re-
sponsible than they were during DIR.
Nichols official life, and in the war
period upon which the country is en-
tering will increase in weight and inn
portance. The State will swap none Of
these horses, while crossing the troubled
stream it is entering with its sister
States.
