Mt. Pleasant House.

To find old friends unchanged, save look
ing handsomer and prosperous, is pleasure
that the many friends Of the Mt. Pleasant
House, White Mountains, land its genial man
ayers have enjoyed this summer. The
change in the routunda by the addition of
large bay windows, with coy cushioned
seats where one can enjoy the magnificent
view, is one that has been thoroughly APP
preciated, and will be more and more by
those who defer their mountain trips till
September or October. The sharp nights or
mornings will find many who will prefer to
take the view of the mountains from these
windows, beside the great open fireplaces,
and defer the veranda till later in the day.
Mt. Pleasant House has come to mean
of people, and under its present manage
ment 1t bids fair to do so to many more.
Nothing is lacking for the enjoyment and
comfort of all. The Mt. Pleasant Golf Links
are very fine, and are enjoyed by many ex-
perts during the season. The new Bicycle
Path to CrawfoIds is a source OF pleasure for
lovers of the wheel, and the new Bride path
up Mt. Stckney gives opportunity for noun
tain climbing by pony that Is not to be had
elsewhere this side Of the Rocky Mountains
safe ponies and trusty attendants being pro-
vided. The walk to the model barn Is a fav-
orite one with many, especially at night,
when the fine herd OF Jerseys and Hol-
stems are driven up.
The music is always an enjoyable feature,
and the addition OF solos by prominent art
lists has been appreciated. Indeed, those
people who could not find some special form
of amusement at this house must be hard to
please, and even the most hardened "crank"
could not but enjoy the air of general comfort
and the feeling Of being at home which Mes
srs. Anderson and Price manage to impart
to all the guests of the Mt. Pleasant House.

Washington County Court.

l. FL. p. Rowell V. M. Jennie Dunwoodie,
on trial when the WATCHMAN went to press
last week. The case dragged along until
Friday noon when it was given to the jury
after an impartial charge by Judge Start.
They returned verdict at four o'clock for
the plaintiff to recover S578.95.
w. e. Laird, assignee of the Perry Manu-
featuring company, VS.. Lang q Goodhue OF
Burlington which was the next case for
trial, was settled Friday morning. BY the
terms of the settlement the plaintiff re-
ceives $3.50 and the two power transmitters
in question are returned to him. This case
has once been tried in Washington county
court and resulted in disagreement of the
jury. The Perry Manufacturing company
sold two power transmitters to the defend
ants who kept them for sometime and then
returned them, refusing to pay for them on
the ground that they were not properly
built.
The Court took recess Friday afternoon
until Monday afternoon.
When the court came in Monday after
noon the Barre case Of Ward & Douglass
against the estate of Hamilton Webster was
called. This is an appeal from the COM
missioners, over the title OF a strip OF land,
and DIR. 9. n. Barber administrator OF Mr..
Webster's estate, appears as defendant. j,

at that time. Republican government
was still in its experimental stage. 1t
passed successfully it's supreme test, in
the United States, in the civil war and
the reconstruction period following. To-
day America feels herself strong
enough to act, in practical way, the
part of the Good Samaritan, and to
send her fleets and armies, as well as
food and raiment, TO the rescue of
the victims of oppression where armed
Intervention promises to be effective,
and after every pacific agency has been
employed in vain. This is the sort of
knight-errantry, the kind of Qiixo-
tism, in which the government of the
United States is now embarked for the
first time in its history, and which is
the subject the Mugwump's sneers and
presentations.
The fate to which the Mugwump
teacher proposes to relegate the Fill
pinos is their restoration to the do
minion of Spain, but to hedge them
about with guarantees of "sweeping re-
forms" in administration, pledges OF
humane and civilized government, for
which the United States shall stand
sponsor. Is the Mugwump only simple
and ignorant in making this proposition,
or is it the product of his malevolent
cunning2 Has he learned nothing from
the centuries of Spain's colonial NAL
administration, nothing from the Span
iard's perfdy and barbarity in his later
misgovernment of Cuba, or in his deal
ings with these United States? Take
a pledge from Spain? Become Spain's
guarantor of administrative reform, of
free and enlightened government in the
Philippines? Paper is very cheap but
any school boy understands that Spain's
guaranty of the things the Mugwump
prophets are devising as an excuse for
abandoning the Philippines would not
be worth the time spent in formulating
them, or the paper on which they
would be written out. He under
STANDS that Spanish sovereignty can
never be reimposed upon the Filipinos;
that they would resist it to the death,
and that Spain has not now the naval
or military power, or the political pres
tige, to sustain her sovereignty of the
Philippines should it be restored to
her. This Mugwump policy of igno-
miny is the product of neither ignor-
ance nor simplicity, but the develop
ment of innate depravity.

Auxiliary Cruisers Returned.

The naval authorities have turned
over to the American line the four
Transatlantic liners used as auxiliary
cruisers, and two of them later as
transport vessels, the st. Louis, St.
Paul, New York and Paris. To the
company was given lump sum in sat-
isfaction of the requirement that the
vessels should be restored to the condi-
ton in which they were when the gov
eminent took possession of them, al
though the amount is not stated. By
this means the government saves itself
the trouble of repairs and restoration
work which can better be performed by
the company itself.
The value of these American liners
as auxiiaries to the regular navy is un-
derstood and appreciated. They are
all magnificent vessels, although it will
be considerable time before they are
restored to their customary superb con-
dition. When they again resume the
work of carrying passengers over the
ocean, it is safe to say that there will
be no more popular vessels on the At
lintlc, at least from the American
point of view, and deservedly so.
What the American line has gained by
the service OF its vessels cannot be
reckoned in dollars and cents, for it is
pre-eminently the one which is entitled
to the good will and kindly wishes of
the American people.-Brooklyn Eagle.

As to the Philippines.

The most important, because the on
ly question understood to be left in the
balance, is the disposition of the Philip
pines. The policy of the administra-
ton, so far as known, contemplates the
acquisition to the United States of the
Island OF Luzon and there tention of the
remainder of the group by Spain. 1t
is doubtful, in our judgment, whether
Spain would care to retain any of the
islands if compelled TO part with Luzon.
What would be left after the Americans
had established themselves there could
hardly be other than an incumbrance.
Re-assertion of Spanish rule would
surely be followed on a minor scale by
the abuses that were witnessed in Cuba.
The Spaniards are failures as colonists.
1t would only be in the nature of things
after the example set in Luzon, where
the benefits of our system of govern
ment would be on daily exhibition, that
the people of the rest of the archipelago
would make comparisons that would
not be favorable to Spain. AS matter
of fact their condition would be worse
than ever before. Spain has lost her
prestige, her bat!leships are shattered
and her capacity to control revolt has
been reduced to that extent. To take
Luzon and leave the rest of the Philip,
pines to Spain, woull be like taking the
head and leaving the trunk. All of the
islands should be acquired by the Uni
ted States and we will be mistaken if
if Spain herself does not eventually
conclude that it will be to her own best
interests to accept this view of the mat
ter.-Brooklyn Eagle, Democrat.

Leave Them to their Fate2

With his biunted moral sensibilities,
it is not surprising that the Mugwump
editors answer is, Yes, to the inquiry,
Shall this government abandon the
Philippines and leave the people to their
fate? Having come to this brutal con-
clusion they wander off into senseless
discourse, and utter their sneers about
this Nation going about the world,
knight-errant of liberty, espousing
the cause of every down -trodden peo-
pie under the sun.
The last thing this Nation has ever
been in the habit of doing has been to
lift it's mailed hand to free the oppress-
ed. America has commended freedom
and its blessings to the people of the
earth rather by precept than by knight
errantry. When struggling land has
appealed to her for help against it's OPP
pressors, America has pointed the vic
tim of oppression to Bunker Hill and
the Declaration of Independence, with
exhortations to 60 and do likewise.
American sympathy for countries fight
ing for their liberties has been often
and freely expressed, but, like faith,
sympathy without works is dead.
Senior Romero, the accomplished min
lister of Mexico at Washington, has
shown how the South American coun-
tries revolving against Spain in the first
quarter OF the present century got no
material assistance, but plenty of ex-
pressed sympathy, from the great free
republic of the north continent. To
what extent the circumstance that the
United States government assiduously
avoided giving military aid to the revo-
lutionary governments OF the south
continent, in their conflicts with Spain,
accounts for the lack of really fraternal
relations and intimate trade associa-
tons with the republics of the middle
and south continents may be a matter
of speculation, but 1t unquestionably
had an adverse influence upon forming
and cementing, at the outset, close fra
ternal and commercial relations and in.
tercourse between those countries and
this.
Resolutions of sympathy and en-
couragement for the peoples of South
America, for Greece, for Hungary, for
embattled freemea in every land, en-
cumber this governments legislative
records, but during the first century
and more of its existence it prudently
restrained its demonstration of its de
sire to render effective aid to be-
leaguered men fighting for their free
dom. And the government was right

Politics in New York.

Empire State politics, as is always
the case, interests the entire country.
This is the year for the election of q
governor and other State officers. Ele-
ments are combining that insure Re-
publican triumph. Roosevet's name
for weeks has been in the hearts and
on the tongues of the Republican vot-
ers.
The cessation of hostilities and the
disbanding of his regiment have left
the impetuous leader of the Trough
Riders" free to follow the bent of his
personal inclination. He makes no Sc
cret of the qualification it would give
him to be chosen Governor of New
York. On Saturday he had confer
ence with Senator Plat and other Re-
publican leaders. 1t was made clear to
him that 700 out of over 900 delegates
to the Republican convention were
eager to nominate him for Governor.
Republican organizations in the city of
New York and Brooklyn, and all over
the State, have been declaring for
Roosevelt with the zeal and enthusi-
asm his name and civil and military
records inevitably inspire. Plat
knows the voice of the people when he
hears it. Its tones come to him as the
voice of God and he bows to its man
date. Roosevelt and Platt have differ
ed in public affairs as gentlemen differ.
Roosevelt has never yielded one hairs
breadth of his convictions TO the domi-
nation of Plat, but the two men have
maintained a status OF mutual good
will. Plat knows better than to ask
pledges of the man that led the Trough
Riders" up San Juan hill, but he knows
also that Roosevelt's is chivalric
spirit, that there is no partizan political
inimicality in him, that he can be made
the tool of no faction nor the instru-
ment of political punishment, that he is
first of all Republican of Republicans
and ever faithful, and honorably faith
full, to that organization. The people
trust Roosevelt. They know his cour-
age in dealing with political evils, they
understand that there is ability of the
highest type behind his courage and
integrity that never bends. With all
these sturdy qualities. there is in him
the best of good fellowship, there is no
cant and no faint of mugwumpery, no
trace of hypocrisy. The independents,
no less than Plat, must bow to the
candidacy of this dominating person
ality.
Gov. Black and his friends are in
sisting strenuously that he should be
renominated, but it is clearly a case of
probable defeat with Black or q
sweeping triumph with Roosevelt. A
successor to Senator Murphy is to be
chosen next winter and popular cam
didacy for governor will have its influ-
ence in insuring the election of a Legis-
1ature Republican on joint ballot,

Mr.. Shurtlef's worth as a lawyer, thought
1t worthy OF record that Mr. Shurtleff in
living his profession had ennobled 1t. Il.
l.. Laird, who was associated for ten years
in the same Office with Mr. Shurtleff, re-
ferred to some Of his peculiarities in his
work, OF the prodigious amount Of labor he
| performed, and OF his promptness in all
business matters. He never advised a eli
ent to prosecute wrong case, but when he
felt that he had good case, he went into it
with his whole soul, and his flag never
came down until the supreme court took it
down. Mr. Rowland stated that an ad-
dress on the life OF Mr.. Shurtleff would be
prepared by some member OF the bar and
read at the annual meeting OF the State Bar
Association In October. The meeting then
adjourned. The resolutions adopted and
spread upon the records are as follows:
a" Resolued by the bar Of Washington county:
| That the manhood and lawyership OF
Stephen @. Shurtleff commanded the affeo-
ton and respect Of his brethren of the bar.
Since the year OF his admission to practice
for more than third OF q century-he
was member OF the bar OF this county, and
for many years a leader. He was an aid to
the courts and a tower OF strength to his
clients. His fellow members of the bar
wish 1t spread upon the records OF the court
that they wildly remember him az a strong
lawyer, strong in his knowledge of legal
principles and strong in his application OF
them in trial; that they respected him for
his character and sturdy manhood that they
loved him as manly brother in high cal.
ling, and that their sorrow is great that he
is no more Of them living. And they ask
that the court have its clerk certify these
matters to his widow, to his son and daugh
ter and sister,. to whom alone he was nearer
than to them"

asserts practical control over the COM
merce of the entire group.
If the foregoing are, indeed, the
terms the peace commissioners are in
structed to make, the only thing, APP
parently, that can rescue the United
States from legacy Of endless embroil-
ment, If such an arrangement should
be finally ratified, is the insistence by
Spain that, as the victors insist upon
taking, in Luzon and Manila, the head,
they shall take, also, the trunk, the re-
naming islands of the group. There
are reports of somewhat belated &C
cession of reason and sense to the
Spanish governing powers, and that
they will insist that the commissioners
of this country conclude treaty that
will insure to the United States the
ownership and control of the entire
Philippine group. 1t is said that there
appears to be an understanding among
the diplomatists that Spain will not re-
tain the other islands of the group if
the United States insists upon taking
Luzon. The assertion is made thai
Spain will refuse to be held RESPONSE
BILE for the government of the other
islands, as the United States will re-
quire, and will plead that the Philip
pines are worth nothing to her without
Luzon; that her navy has been de-
stroyed and protection to Spanish Off
Gals and inhabitants in those islands
cannot he given, and that it will be
less expensive to let the islands go than
to retain them.
II the reported demands of the United
States in respect of the island of Luzon
are intended to force the hand of the
Spanish commissioners, and compel
them to assume the initiative in insist
ing that the United States shall take
all the islands and become charged
with the task and responsibility of gov
erning them, the instructions of the
President may become ineligible, but
it would better comport with dignity
and honor to demand what is right,
and what is the rational conclusion of
Admiral Dewey's victory in May; what
is dictated by humanity and every con-
sideration affecting the interests of the
United States and the people of the
islands-the unconditional cession of
the entire Philippine group to the
United States. There can be no di-
vided sovereignty in the Philippines.
1t must be all American or something
else. If the Philippine house is di-
vided against itself the disaster taught
by the Scripture will impend.
Americans will hope and believe that
the ordering of the Iowa and Oregon
to the Pacific to reinforce the already
powerful naval squadron in those
waters indicates that President McKin-
ley has correctly estimated American
public opinion in respect of the Philip
pines, and is taking no half way meas
ures for the right determination of the
problem presented by the issue of the
war in the Far East.
