Congress-.

In the Senate on Monday Mr.. Vest of
Missouri spoke in support of his resolution,
offered last week, declaring that it is not
competent under the constitution of the
United States to acquire possessions to be
held and governed permanently as colonies.
This speech was the opening of the cam
paign TO prevent the ratification by the
Senate of the treaty of Paris. The basis
of Mr.. Vests contention was that it is the
fundamental idea of our government to
make all its people citizens, and net to
hold any of them as subject or alien races,
and that this cannot be done under a col
onial policy. The House spent the day in
consideration of District of Columbia busi-
ness and bill for the better protection of
American. seamen.
Tuesdays session of the Senate was
largely consumed in the discussion of the
Nicaragua canal bill. There is a growing
sentiment in Congress in favor of the con
struction of the canal and of its control by
the United States in time of war
Mr.. Morrill, addressed the Senate on his
bill authorizing the purchase of a site east
of the capitol grounds in Washington for a
building for the United States supreme
court. At the conclusion of Mr.. Morrill's
speech the Senate passed the site building
bill.
The House naval affairs committee Or
dered favorable report upon the bill to
create the rank of admiral and vice admiral
in the navy. Chairman Boutelle will write
the report.

The new board of railroad commission
ers held a meeting at Burlington Friday to
consider the proposed intention of the St.
Johnsbury and Lake Champlain railroad
not to comply with the law recently en-
acted by the legislature providing for two
cent mileage books good to bearer. The
meeting adjourned for a session at St.
Johnsbury the 10Th. 1t is understood that
the managers of the railroad claim that
they cannot sell mileages at the two-cent
rate and pay interest upon indebtedness
and bonds. Section 5000 of the Vermont
statutes provides that the railroad commits
sioners may, in their discretion, exempt
any railroad from the provisions relating
to mileage books. Residents along the
line of the st. Johnsbury & Lake Cham
plain road fear that this section may be
used to thwart the wish of the people.

The imperialists may not relish Wins
low Warren's exhortation to them to re-
wise the constitution before they annex
the Malay millions, making the preamble
read for one thing
We hold these truths to be at last self-eviient:
LIST That men never we're nor could BE- created
equal
I'd. That they are endowed by the Creator
with no inherent and inalienable rights
Sd. That life liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness were never the right of any people but
Americans, and that government was not insti
tut ed to secure such rights, does it derive its
just powers from the consent of the governed.

est to fall in this country, as it has fallen
in the old world, says that for the most
part the savings bank deposits represent
the whole fortune of the depositor, and
the state taxes every cent of it, and taxes
it at a high rate-seven-tenths Of one per
cent Were our rich men taxed equally,
the rate of taxation could be reduced at
least 80 per cent. The News quotes from
Hon. b. D. Harris's letter published in
The Phoenix last week, and adds: "Our
entire system of taxation is hopelessly out
of date, unjust, and destructive to the best
interests of the state and its people; but
this matter of taxing the savings of the
poor is perhaps its most odious feature.
Let us hope that there is a good time COM
ing when practical common sense and busi-
ness ability will be the dominant power in
our general assembly"

The latest scheme for keeping down"
the negroes comes from North Carolina,
and its idea is to give the blacks less edu-
cation so that they may be satisfied to
"keep their place" as laborers and field
hands and not aspire to any of the calllngs
which require more brain work than muscle.
Under the constitution and laws of North
Carolina the money collected by taxation
for the support of the public free school
system is apportioned per capita among all
the children of the state, both white and
black. The negroes pay very small por-
tion of this tax, and the scheme is to
amend the constitution so that the taxes
paid by the whites shall go to educate
white children, and the taxes of the blacks
to educate black children. Since black
men are not to be allowed to vote in North
Carolina, according to recent developments,
there would seem to be nothing serious in
the way Of carrying out this program if the
white people have really got the "gall" to
do it,

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1G, 1898.

A Washing on rumor which is thought
to be well founded says that Joseph Choate,
the eminent New York lawyer, will be ap-
pointed ambassador to England. 1t is also
reported that Cornelius Bliss, secretary of
the interior, will resign at an early date.
Mr.. Bliss maintains pleasant relations with
the President and the other members of
the cabinet, but he wishes to retire on ac-
count of personal reasons.

Major General Brooke has been ap-

control over the military and civil branches
of the island formerly exercised by the
Spanish captain general. Each of the six
provinces will have a military governor,

will remain at Santiago as governor, Gen.
Lee will be governor of the province of
Havana and Gen. Ludlow will be governor
of the city Of Havana

One Army R.organIra,Ion Bill.

Representative Mcclellan Of New York,
son of the late Gen. Mcclellan and a
member of the military affairs committee
of the House, has introduced in the House
bill for the Reorganization of the army
1t was drawn after consultation with
many army officers, and is supposed to
represent the ideas of the younger ele
ment of the army. 1t makes some very
radical changes in the staff, and has some
novel features. 1t consolidates the adju-
t.generars department and the inspec-
tor-generals department in the general
staff, absorbs the ordnance department
into the artillery corps, and abolishes the
signal corps, transferring the duties of
that corps to the engineer corps and the
officers to the infantry. 1t gives the
quartermaster's and subsistence depart
ments each a regiment of 1000 enlisted
men. 1t adopts the cavalry strength of
the Miles bill, the artillery strength of the
Hull bill, and the infantry strength of the
Miles bill. One of the new features is a
requirement that all officers of the general
staff shall perform tour of duty before
each promotion, which would give them
line duty at least every ten years. This is
the German method. The bill also creates
an equipment department to relieve the
quartermaster's department and confines
the duties of the latter solely to transpor-
tation.

The laws are issued for distribution by
the newspapers this year in much more
attractive form than ever before. The
pamphlet form in which they appear is not
only convenient for reference and reading,
but is also convenient for preservation,
which was not the case with the former
blanket sheets. The indexes by number
and by subject make the pamphlet doubly
OF use. The people of the state are in
debted to the workmanlike methods of the
Burlington Free Press office for this i'm

The treaty of Paris was finally signed
last Saturday evening, and the members of
both commissions unmistakably felt well
come relief from long and wearing strain.
Warm friendships grew up between the
members and it is evident that the two
commissions parted in the most amicable
manner and with feelings of high personal
regard on both sides. Publication of the
full text of the treaty will be withheld un-
til it has been sent to the Senate, but the
summary which has been given out un-
doubtedly covers all the essential points

The granite cutters of Barre and Mont
pelier have demanded an elght-hour sched-
ule and an increase in wages from 20 1-2
to 32 cents per hour. 1t is believed that
the manufacturers will not comply with
the demand. A strike would effect 1900
cutters in the two cities and would throw
out of employment 5000 other men who
are dependent upon the granite trade. A
strike clause is now being inserted in all
contracts which the manufacturers are
making. The cutters union and the man
ufacturers are bound by an agreement
which terminates March /. The agree
ment calls for three months notice pre-
vious to March l of any change intended
to be made by either party, and on Dec.

Gen. Miles gave his views on the pro-
posed increase in the standing army before
the House committee on military affairs
Monday. He recommended an army on
the basis of one soldier for every thousand
population at home, with native troops in
the newly acquired colonies on the basis
of two soldiers for every 1000 of population.
This would give an army of $1,000 with
1000 native troops in Porto Rico and 5000
in Cuba. With reference to our oriental
possessions he said: "And if we are to
keep the Philippine islands-and l have
no more idea We will give up Manila than
that we will give up Bunker Hill or any
other place immortalized in our history
then this native force will largely augment
our troops there, and l understand natives
are ready to enter upon this service"

Major Charles K. Darling, a Chelsea
VT, boy, is candidate for the position of
United States marshal for the district of
Massachusetts. Petitions in his favor are
being circulated voluntarily by influential
members of the bar in Boston, Worcester,
Springfield, Fitchburg and other cities.
Major Darling graduated from Dartmouth
college in 1885, and had two years train
ing at West Point. He was formerly city
editor of the Fitchburg Sentinel, but
studied law and after being admitted to
the bar became lecturer in Boston uni
versity. He joined the 9th Massachusetts
regiment in 1887, and was commissioned
major in 1893. He held that position
throughout the Porto Rican campaign and
was complimented in general orders by
Gen. Garretson for bravery in the field.
1t is felt that his appointment as marshal
would be recognition of the Bay State
soldiery participating in the war.

intrigues that ever dishonored a
political party. For selfish and
paltry personal ends, it turned an
historical character into puppet;
exposed an international reputation
to unfeeling and unjustifiable repro
val, and subjected the innocent and
helpless to humiliat ton, from which
by every suggestion of honor and
manhood they should have been
sheltered and defended.

Guiding negroes who seem to be, to
great extent, natural ilnmunes,
and the boy born IN Louisiana is
just as liable to have yellow fever as
is the boy born in Massachusetts, or
Vermont. This fact has been am
ply demonstrated in every attack of
yellow fever which has ever visited
the South and was particularly con-
spicuous during the light visitation
Of the fever here last year. Two of
the three deaths which occurred here
we're of native born Creole boys,
while of the five who recovered, one
was a young man only a month or
two from Germany, and another
was an elderly gentleman from the
North, a veteran of the Union army.
The last serious epidemic of yellow
fever which visited the South was in
1873, and there are comparatively
few who had it that time who are
matter of fact there are not in the
South to-day ten thousand young
men, or anything like that number
who have had yellow fever, hence
it will be seen how empty is the
claim of those who announce their
ability to raise vast hosts of "im-
muncs" in this section to invade
Cuba. AS before stated this elm
mune'' racket is being entirely over
done. 1t is worked in the South by
our ambitious young fellows who
are thirsting for fame and glory and
deisrc to be excessively patriotic; it
is being played by the North for
business purposes and as conve-
nient mask to shield the most trans
parent and arrant cowardice. The
