Press Comment.
September II.

The biennial agitation in favor Of
the substitution of license for prohi-
bition in Vermont is now on, led by
the Rutland Herald as in years gone
by. We opine that the people OF
Vermont haven't the remotest idea of
abandoning prohibition for license
and the movement will be buried in
our legislature if it comes to vote.
-[Deer6eld Valley Times.
II there are over a hundred high
license representatives elected to the
uext House Of Representatives, as
claimed, they may be able to make
considerably more stir over the rum
question than has been made in the
legislature since the prohihitory law
was passed. But they can't push a
high license law through the Senate,
this year, even il it was possible to
get it that far. 1t probably would
not even be discussed in the Senate.
Il Woodstock Standard.
And so the Fayerweather bequests
are tied up again in the meshes OF an
Injunction, which debars Amherst,
Bowdwin, Dartmouth and dozen
other institutions from disposing OF
any money paid to them from the
residuary estate. If any of the de-
parted spirits desire to return to
earth in order to carry out benevo-
lent designs that are frustrated by
avaricious relatives, it must be the
soul OF the old leather merchant who
used to do business in New York.
-[Boston Congregationalist.
President Mckinley will be sup
ported by the whole country in his
determination to insist upon the
payment by the Turkish government
tor the property of American mission
aries destroyed by the Turks during
the Armenian massacre. There is no
parallel, as claimed by the sultan,
between the case of the Italians
murdered by mob, while under ar
rest for crime in New Orleans, and
that of American missionaries in
Armenia-though in the former our
government paid an indemnity to
the families of the victims. In Ar.
menia the Turkish government made
no sincere or determined effort to
prevent the atrocities OF the rioters
but many Of its own agents, includ
ing its soldiers, joined in the ontrages
The United States is now in an excel
lent position to enforce its rights
and the rights of its citizens in this
case, and will win the resp ct and
thanks OF the friends of humanity the
world over by doing so.-[Chicagc

Our Rights In Manila.

Some question has arisen as to the
right of the United States to send troops
to Manila under the terms OF the proto-
col and the armistice which followed.
Officials OF the war department have
stated that under the protocol Manila
city, harbor and bay were placed under
control of the United States and that we
have the same right to reinforce that
we would to send troops to any other
army post.

WOES OF EXCURSIONISTS
THE OUTING OF ST. PETERS SUN
DAY SCHOOL WAS UNSATISFAC-
TORY FROM TILE START.

The excursion of st. Peters Sunday
school to Woodland Beach yesterday
was unsatisfactory from the start.
There were about 300 people assembled
on the wharf waiting for the boat,
when a violent electric storm broke
over New Castle. AS many who could
crowded into the wharf pavilion, but
a great many were unable to find shell
ter, consequently were drenched. Sew
eral returned to their homes.
When the boat arrived she was well
filled, and owing to the crowd aboard
she left about 200 passengers at the
Delaware City wharf. There were two
or three fights between some Philadel-
phia parties and soldiers while at
Woodland Beach.
While trying to land here on her re-
turn, the Thomas Clyde ran into some
logs and broke two paddles out Of one
of her wheels. She signalled for tug
boat, but was unsuccessful in securing
one, and finally found she could pro-
ceed to Philadelphia without assist
ance.
