saw or given play to an exuberant
Imagination. He spoke as one hav'
ing authority, and the whole nation
is convinced that he told the plain,
unvarnished truth regarding Cuba
with entire accuracy and with full
and solemn sense of his responsibility
to the American people. And we
believe that this eye witness finally
settles the question of American
Intervention.
Our national duty to Cuba was
never so clear as it is today. Spain's
future in the island is hopeless. She
cannot suppress theinsurrection, and
even if she could she has so COM
petely lost the affection and won the
bitter hatred of her rebellious sub
jects that there would be no perma'
nent peace, no happiness. no pros,
perity under Spanish rule. All cool
observers are compelled to admit
that the indictment against Spain is
terrific. In peace she has bled the
island of its wealth by her corrupt
administration; in war she has
lrightfully decimated its non'combat-
ant population by decree whose
ba~barity has shocked the civilized
world. Spain has failed in her great
historic mission over the sea, she has
demonstrated her un6tness to hold
this ancient colony, and by no moral
law in the universe can the main
tenance of her old relation to the
island be now justified. Such is the
melancholy truth. How great the
tragedy !-[Spring6eld Republican.

The Vermont National Guard.

The Essex County Record had an
entirely unwarranted and uncalled
for attack on the Vermont National
Guard last week when it said that
designations from members of the
state militia are pouring in these
DAYS as fell the snowhakes month
ago." The st. Adams Messenger at
once denied the report and gave
Editor Hays a deserved scoring for
insinuating that our boys in blue
were hearted and afraid OF
war. The facts in the case are that
there are constant changes in the
personnel of the militia, but by their
oath of enlistment they cannot resign
except for disability and other
causes mentioned in the regulations.
Commenting on the Records article
the Messenger well says:
1.-THE men of the National Guard are
representative young Vermonters who
are deserving OF as much confidence from
their fellow citizens as any other body oil
men. They make no pretenslons to valor,
but it must be said for them that they
are honestly and zcalously giving their
time at great sacrifice to perfect them
selves in military science and he better
qualified Tor the defense of their country,
very laudable undertaking as most
people will admit. They are no more
courageous than the rest of Vermonters
but they are probably equally as brave
and loyal and might perhaps give as
good account of themselves il occasion
required. Just at present they stand
anxiously waiting possible summons to
battle. They have made no talk about
it but they have quietly prepared them
selves tor the worst. No one has beer
scouudre enough to think of resigning i
he could"

CONGREGATIONAL Statistics.

The statistician Of the Congrega-
tional churches of Vermont has COM
pleted his census for 1897 and pub
fishes the following figures:
The number of churches has risen
to 2OS; the new names being Hall
fax and Weathers6eld East, the lat
ter reappearing after an apparent
death of many years. Forty-one
churches have installed pastors, III
pastors without installation, 8 are
served by regular supplies. 10 by
licentiates or ministers of other de.
nominations, and % are vacant,
some of the last having temporary
supplies. Several dismissing coun-
ellis are soon to meet, and the mum.
Der of vacant churches will soon be
larger.
Total membership, reckoning the
unreported churches at their last re-
ported figures, stands at 21.S27, a
gain of ten only from last year. The
additions have been $50 by confess
sion and 416 by letter, total, 975;
and the removals 1913 by death, 41S
by letter, 159 by discipline and re-
vision OF roll, total, go.
The Sunday school membership
continues to show loss, the number
2O,971, being TT less than last year
and average attendance, II ,507, a
loss of 260. The membership Of
Christian Endeavor societies is 1888
loss of AL.
Benevolent contributions, at $48,

expenditures, at $3.50. 345, are $22,'

The Woman's suffrage movement
has made a notable gain in England
by the passage of the Irish local self
government bill.
Municipal woman suffrage, con-
ferred on English women in 1869,
proved so satisfactory that it was
extended to the women of Scotland
in 1881. Now it is extended to the
women OF Ireland also. Under the
new bill, single women and widows
in Ireland will vote for all officers
except members of parliament, on
substantially the same terms as men.
Before this, municipal suffrage for
women in Ireland was limited to
Belfast, where they obtained it some
years ago through the efforts OF Miss
Isabella Todd and other Irishwo,
men, on the occasion of the granting
of new city charter.

r1r. Pages Position.

The announcement in last weeks
CALIFORNIAN that ex Gov. Carroll S.
Page would enter the list as a candi-
date for congress in the first district
naturally excited unusual attention
and the article has already been
widely and favorably commented on.
Gov. Pages keen interest in YER
mont's affairs and his grasp of bust
ness interests naturally appeal to the
average Vermonter and our an
nouncement was very pleasant news
to many voters in that district.
But now. Mr.. Page comes forward
and says he is not candidate. Per-
haps he isn't; at any rate we believe
in his sincerity and will give him tn,
benefit of the doubt. But if the vot
ers of the first district really wan,
him we have no doubt he will chang,
his mind, though at this time he il
not in the field to crowd out tn,
present incumbent.
1t is for the voters of the frs
district to decide whom they wan
for congress and they are capable O
OF deciding without any outside in
reference, but we still maintain tina
Gov. Page in congress. would be tn
right man in the right place.

Mr.. Bates Chances Improving.

When the CALIFORNIAN said few
weeks ago that Hon. Henry c. Bates
of St. Johnsbury would lead all the
rest of the candidates for lieutenant
governor at the finish, the Buillng-
ton Free Press remarked that it re-
manned to be seen whether this was
a state sentiment or merely "sec-
tional feeling" 1t begins to look as
if the CALEDoNIAN's prediction was
going to be verified, as one after an
other of the candidates already men
toned are withdrawing from the
contest. Col. j. Estey OF Brattle-
boro is not a candidate, published
reports to the contrary notwith'
standing, and now John H. Merrl'
field of Newfane writes that he is not
in the race.
Mr.. Mortified says that he cannot
but be pleased at the many pleasant
things that have been said concern
ing him and the offers of support
that he has received but says that ne
has no intention of allowing his name
to be used as a candidate.
By Mr.. Merri6eld's withdrawal the
the friends of Mr.. Bates feel that the
situation is greatly simplifed as Mr..
Mortified was a very strong man
and had a large following through
out the state. OF course it is good
ways from the convention and too
early to prophecy with accuracy,
but it looks at this time very ia
vorable for the gentleman from st.
Tohnsbury.

Press Comment.

In speaking of an interesting de-
velopment in the Granite City the
St. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN says:
REV. Sam Jones failed to please
the Barre people during his recent
lecture tour in Vermont. The pat
rons of the Barre course were asked
to vote for the most popular en-
tertainment of the course and the
Georgia evangelist received the
smallest number of votes in the whole
list"
1t will be recalled that the Rev.
Jones oratory is of the "catch as
catch can" order. Now if he had
wrestled with his Barre audience in
true "collar and elbow" style, it is
not impossible in view of the pre-
vailing wrestling craze in that city,
that he might have been declared the
champion instead of ranking last
Burlington Free Press.
The CALIFORNIAN learns that ex-
Governor Page oil Hyde Park will be
a candidate for congress in the first
district and will contest the honors
with Judge Powers" This inforinn-
tion is highly important if correct.
1t shows that Judge Powers will
have opposition where it was sup
posed that there was to be none, and
opposition Of a serious nature at
that. Governor Page is accustomed
to getting what he goes after, as
some of the political managers of
Vermont well know, and if he has
determined to make the contest with
Judge Powers there will be lively
time in the first district.-[ Montpe-

ton. The lines were clear cut, the CUBAN

Automonists were too inconsiderable
to be worth counting. Autonomy had
come too late.
THE STRONGEST APPEAL.
In conclusion, Mr.. Proctor said: ITO
me the strongest appeal is not the bar
barity practiced by Weyler, nor the loss
of the Maine; if our worst fears should
prove true, terrible as are both OF these
Incidents, but the spectacle OF 1900, ooo
people, the entire native population OF
Cuba, struggling for freedom and deliv-,
erance from the worst misgovernment OF
which l ever had knowledge. But
whether our action ought to be inf1u-
enced by any one, or all these things, and
if so, how far, is another question. am
not in favor of annexation not because
Iwould apprehend any particular trouble
from it, but because it is not wise policy
to take in any people of foreign tongue
and training and without strong guid-
ing American element. The fear that, II
free, the people of Cuba would be revo'
lutionary is not so well founded as has
been supposed and the condition for self
government is far more favorable. The
large number of educated and patriotic
men, the great sacrifices they have en-
durcd, the peaceable mperament OF the
people, whites and blacks, the wonderful
prosperity that would surely come with
peace and good home rule, the large in
fux of American and English immigra
ton and money, would all be strong fac
tors for stable institutions.
But it is not my purpose at this time
nor do consider it my province, to sug
gest any plan. ] merely speak OF th'
symptoms as l saw them, but do MOI
undertake to prescribe. Such remeda
steps as may be required may safely b.
lett to an American President and tn

PROCTOR ON CUBA.

There.

The Vermonter Tells the Senate What He Saw
There.
Senator Proctor made in the senate
Thursday a speech describing in de.
tail what he saw during his recent
visit to Cuba. The senator's obser.
vations were confined mainly to the
country districts in the four western
provinces OF Cuba - that is to the
country outside Havana and the
other cities.
He was accorded the closest at
tention throughout his speech. He
confined himself to his manuscript
and at the conclusion, while there
was no demonstration, he was cor.
daily congratulated by many Of his
colleagues.
In opening he said his trip was EN-.
tirely unofficial and of his own no.
ton and that no one but himself was
responsible for any statement in his
speech.
