To the Editor of the Free Press:
In regard to the grave problems of state
craft, now agitating our national govern
ment | shall bri,ny state: from my boy
hood to this day have always hoped that
the Atlantic ard Pacific oceans would re-
main the permanent easterly and westerly
boundaries of our country. Before war
was declared on Spain, l had written TO
the Honorable Senator Proctor asking
him to do everything in his power to
make Cuba free-but to avert war. / yet
hold to this view, for many reasons.
With nearly ten millions of negroes in
the Southern States, and about two mil
lions In Cuba and Porto Rico. the Lord
knows we have enough serious problems
on our hands without appropr!atilg the
eight millions of semi-civilzed peoples OF
the Philippines. l would advise the Sc
curing of a small island with coaling ac-
commodations and safe harbor for our
navy. Spain, remembering the loss OF
Cuba and Porto Rico would no doubt
treat with more consideration the inhabi-
tants OF those islands. Let the settle-
mont of the Philippine question be left to
Spain and the islanders.
For the defense Of our seacoast l be-
lievo in building up and supporting n
strong navy; but we have no need OF a
strong standing army. Let each State
have its militia-selected ana ruled by
army regulations. This will be our
strength.
Finally let us return to the work of de.
velopins the resources of our beloved
country Truly yours,

TO tho Editor of the Free Press:
For Cuba absolute Independence. After
our lofty protestations of dtsintcrested-
ness before the war began, annexation
would make us the by-word Of the world
and pillory us TO the end Of time as the
great American Pecksnlff-the nation of
hypocrites and humbugs.
/ For Puerto Rico, independence also. It

seems to be conceded" however, that
We must have that island anyway. But
until we read out of our own declaration
of independence that sublime truth that
all men are created equal. that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain
unalleaable rights; that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness;
that to secure these rights governments
are instituted among men. deriving their

Brandon, Oct. 3, 1898.
TO the Burlington Free Press:
The war with Spain was entered upon in
the avowed cause Of humanity; to put an
end to the Spanish msrule and grossly
innuman treatment by Spain of her poor
and defenseless subjects in the West In
dies, and all We sought to do and much
more has been accomplished. thanks to
the valor and efficiency of our army and

whelming as has been ours, in this case
at least, brings new and large RESPONSE
blities and duties that were not and
could not be anticipated; ami not only TO
those VIC sought to rescue from cruel
tyranny but also to many others, and to
nations as well as to individuals.
In my opinion IT is not necessarily the
duty of the United States 70 mold all it
mas conquered. ] would retain so much of
the conquered territory as We need for
base for our enlarged and growing COM
merce, especially in the Far East 1 would
nave our government retain and hold such
harbor and territorial rights at and about
Manila as we row need or may herea fter
need and so far as may be, | would have
the rights that We may retain, not merely
dominant or superior. but exclusive, and
no Enthusiastically not unless we must.
in order to do our fun duty to others
and as to this, as 1 have already suggest
ed, our first duty is to ourselves
Beyond what | have stated l would not
go, for in my opinion it is not the mission
of this country TO conquer territory in
the far away parts Of tho world for the
purpose of annexation, and if It comes
to pass that we have conquered territory
in the Philippine group beyond our needs,
] would have our government relinquish
1t at the first opportunity to do so.
1t has been said, but with how much sin
certify and truth, l do not know. that we
should at least retain the whole of tho
Island of Luzon in order to make secure
and most beneficial, our position at and
about Manila. If this is so. keep the

the line of territory or peoples in the

THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.

An audience somewhat larger than
usual greeted the Philharmonic Club,
last evening, at the Carroll Club audi
forum, on the occasion of the four
tenth concert of the second season of
the organization. 1t was most de-
lightful musical evening. The pro-
gramme contained but four numbers
the Beethoven quartet opus Is, No. l,
"A Mothers Heart by Zitterbart the
talentel Pittsburg composer, Schu-
bert's we'll known Moment Music
ale" opus "a, No. 3, and the Splendid
Beethoven ..Serenade," op. s, one of
the most ambitious as it is one of the
most pleasing, Of the great composers
earlier works. The membership of the
quarte- appeared to the very best adj
vantage, and the programme was rem
dered In a manner which admits of no
proper criticism.
The opening quartet, the most diff
cult of the six embraced in opus Is,
was given in manner deserving of all
praise. The second adagio movement
(affettuoso ed appassionato) and the
following scherzo (allegro molto) were
particularly effective the latter being
peculiar and dainty in its nature. The
entire number, which occupied forty
five minutes in its rendition was Sc
we're test of the capacity of the quartet,
but the performers met every require
ment with an ease which was a source
OF delight to the critical audience.
Zitterbart's "a Mothers Heart" is
plaintive in its nature, and was render
ed with a delicacy and feeling which
could scarcely be surpassed
The familiar Schubert number, light
in its nature, acted as a foil for the
heavier compositions preceding and
following, and was greatly enjoyed.
The closing number, the Beethoven
''Serenade," (trio) really consists or
no less than nine movements: A
march (allegro), adagio, minuet (alle-
gretto), adagio, scherzo (allegro mol
to-, allegretto ALA polacca, theme and
five variations. andante quasi allie
gretto. and a concluding march Forty
minutes are required for the rendition,
which was throughout in perfect har-
mony with the well established repu-
tation of the club for good work.
The concert was one of the best vet
given. and it is sincerely to be hoped
that there will be a steady increase in
point of attendance during the re-
rnainder Of the season. The club is
doing a grand work in cultivating a.
taste for the best music. and it well
deserves the patronage of our musical
people.

BLEW OUT THE GAS.
A Countryman Had Narrow Escape from
Death Monday Night

Mr.. Ennis, a countryman, blew out
the gas in room No. 8, at the Old
Home Hotel on Market square, when
he retired Monday night Yesterday
morning a servant discovered the con-
dition of affairs by the use of her
olfactories, and the door Of No. 8 was
forced open.
Ennis was found to be in very
serious condition. DR.. Ridgeway
worked two hours with him before he
was pronounced out of danger. There
was nothing on Ennis to indicate his
name, and it was late in the day be-
fore his identity was discovered. He
is farmer, and fairly well-to-do.
Ennis may have blown out the gas
through mistake, and may have done
it with suicidal intent. Many incline
to the latter theory. Whatever may
have been his purpose, he is now happy
in the knowledge that he is still in
the land of the living.
