Gov. Woodbury. and Senator Proctor Of
Vermont have had falling out over the
ordering Of the Green Mountain State
troops to Porto Rico. 1t appears that
they were ordered there at the earnest
solicitation of Senator Proctor, and not
tecause they were needed. Now Gov.
Woodbury. takes the ground that neither
the Vermont troops nor any others should
be sent where they are not needle d, which
seems to be very sensible ground to take.

The protest of the officers Of Gen. Shat
ter's army against the recent order of the
Secretary of War for the troops to remain
in Cuba, construed by strict mill
tary rules, might be regarded as an act OF
naturalization. A soldiers duty is obe-
dience without questioning. But this
protest is SO clearly inspired by an earnest
desire to save the army from the practical
destruction which would follow the en-
forcement of the Secretary's ili-advised
order that no point of that kind is likely
to be raised, for to raise it would be to
rouse popular Indignation to dangerous

The complaint is general, both from
the troops in the field and the troops on
ship that food of the proper kind or in
sufficient quantity is frequently
not obtainable. Col. Woodward OF

to Porto Rico. All they could get was
coffee and hard tack, though there was
plenty of corned beef in the hold.

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
GRAND.


The Neill Stock company produced "The
Lottery of Love" at the Grand last evening.
The audience was small, but the play was
one of the best in the company's repertoire,
and was excellently performed All the parts
except one were we'll sustained.
Herschel Mayall was especially good as
Adolphus Doubledot and his acting when he
found himself face to face with Mrs. Zenobia
Sherramy, mis- former mother-in-law, sup
posing she had married his second wife
father and was again his mother in law.
caused the audience to shrek with laughter.
The comedy is replete with comical situations
but none that created quite much uerri-
ment as that.
Joseph B. Everham was fully equal to the
part of Benjamin Butterman. which demands
comedy talent Of high order. He was per-
feet In the scene in which he announces his
marriage with many prctestations of affection
for his daughter and sQn-lll-law.
Mrs Zenobia Sherramy. the mother in law,
who objects to having her daughter alone for
a moment with her husband, and schemes for
divorces. was very we'll played by Agnes May
nard. while the submissive daughter, Diane,
was portrayed by Edythe Chapman.
Josephine Doubled6t's second wife, was
played very gracefully by Grayce Scott.
Charles Wyngate appeared as the ex-lover OF
Diane, who marries her at the close, relieving
Butterman of his wife and termagant mother
in-law Fred Wallace and Allen Patton. as
Rye and Grass, farm hands: and Angela Do
lores. as Ann Eliza Her acting was very
clever.

Our Leprous Cousins.

If Joint resolution of congress set
ties the matter. then Hawaii will in
due season become part and parcel of
the United States. Westward the
course of American empire takes it's
way, and the cannibalistic group
naturally becomes fixed in it's grasp
Uncle Sam Will absorb a heterogeneous
mass, and some time will be required
to establish terms of intimacy between
us and our leprous cousins Their as
similation is another matter but that
is not to be thought of at this juncture.
Each succeeding generation has it's
own Ills to contend with, and the hap
py-go-lucky idea of piling sociological
and financial problems upon those who
come after us Is the one in vogue with
the Imperialists now in the saddle
The conservative American idea is
old-fogy and obstructive. The country
is big and booming, and if the thought
Is advanced that it may grow so big
that it may break somewhere in the
center, echo the imperialistic answer:
Let her bust! Let's be great and
glorious. if only for day. The NOR
row is for those only who think of the
hereafter
Meanwhile the fantastic nature of
this American expedition into foreign
and freak parts ought not to be over
looked in the selection of the Ameri-
can citizens who are to serve on the
hrst Protectorate. President Mckinley
ought not to forget that George Francis
Train, Patsy Bolliver and Coxey are
without political Jobs.

1t would be utterly useless as a direc-

Cannot Bolster II Tn.

The New York Tribune is making a
desperate effort to bolster up the Ding
ley act as a revenue producer 1t Illus
trates fully the fact that, if figures
don't lie" men who figure can and do.
Its Washington correspondent ESSAYS
the task Of making the demonstration.
he presents table of figures to SUBJ
stantiate this and to prove that the
demand made by the president in his
inaugural. that a revenue measure that
would prevent deficits and provide a
prompt and adequate revenue be the
first care of congress, has been met.
For the purpose of proving this he
compares by months the total net ordi-
nary receipts of the treasury for the
first ten months of the Wilson -Gorma n
act and Of the Dingley act, shrewdly
emitting statement of the expendi-
lures. and quite as dextarously omittiny

BILE rights of man.
No one can scan OUT statutes with
out being struck by the progress made
in state socialism. At every turn the
citizen is met with some restriction
upon rights whose full enjoyment is
essential to his pursuit of happiness"
He finds the state house packed with
officials appointed to see that these
restrictive laws are enforced. He scans
the statutes and finds numerous other
socialistic laws, which, having no pro-
pelling force behind them, either in fat
fees to reward the spying official or
selfish interests to be bolstered and
buttressed. are dead letters, useful only
to show the drift of that party's legis-
lation under the propulsion of It's So
cialistic spirit Nearly every way in
dustry turns in the fields of occupa-
ton it finds the sign Keep off the

there either by state or initiative e1nu-
lnicipal regulation. Few are the fields
left open to which industry can get
admission without presenting a. license,
duly signed by some autocratic official
whose pocket Is enriched by the fee
exacted. Would the widow sell the
surplus milk yielded by her COW be-
yond her household requirements, she
must have license and pay a fee
Would a man seek to gain livelihood
by attending steam engine, or by
shoeing horses or shaving faces or pull
ing teeth or selling beverages or vend-
ing vegetables at kitchen doors, re-
pairing the plumbing of a house or
curing his neighbours ills or defending
his rights, he is confronted with the
same imperious demand for license
and for a greater or less fee. The
statutes attest, in their biennial
growth, the constant increase Of this
tendency. 1t Is this that Democracy
arraigns in It's platform; 1t is this spirit
which, in all countries, Democracy has
fought, and those countries boast the
highest civilization where Democracy
has been the most successful in its con-
tests with privilege. This is the one
paramount, supreme issue presented to
the electors Of this state. And no more
vital one was ever given them for de-
cision.
