There are probably few people left in
the United States now who, if they are
honest with themselves and have taken
the trouble to inform themselves about
the facts-which the administration
apologsts so sedulously and unanimously
conceal-take any stock in the claim
that our Philippine action was necessary
to save the islands from ''anarchy." II
there are such, the report from the two
naval officers, Wilcox and Sargent, in
another column, can hardly fail to re-
solve their doubts, following as it does
such long line of testimony from other
officers and authorities. The only trou-
BILE Is that so many who are depending
for their information on Republican par
tisan organs will never know about 1t
any more than of the evidence of Dewey,
King, Wheaton, Mcbride, Ford. and all
the rest who have with sOldier-like truth
telling long ago demolished the pretence
that subsection to our authority was
necessary to preserve law and order.
Sad indeed is it to read the account of
these naval officers of the peace and con-
tentment they found in their Journey.
the gratitude towards Americans as
delverers and the high hopes Of follow
ing ia the footsteps of the great republic
of the west In establishing the first
republic of Asia. and to remember how
1t was all spoiled and love and admira-
tion turned into bitterest enmity by that
treaty and that proclamation. Call it a
blunder, it you will done in ignorance Of
the conditions there, and such in consid-
cradle degree it undoubtedly was. But
to persist in it, now demanding uncondi-
tional surrender, without promise or
guard against repetition of such blIn-
ders, is simply wickedness.

The deer-hunting season in Vermont
is usually punctuated with numerous
Instances of the hunters being shot by
mistake for their quarry. The hunting
season in the Adrondacks has opened
up auspiciously with the shooting of a
Peekskill young man, who was deer
hunting In the Rainbow Lake region.
Between the "didn't. know-t-w was loaded

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston Journal


The butter market has been active and
more satisfactory condition to the selling
interest ihan IL has been fol several years.
he demand has increased, receipts have
decreased and prices have advanced to n
point which enables receivers 10 return full
rates for consignments, and gives holders of
storage goods n chance to realize a nice
profit on their investments. And all this
has been brought about by strictly legitimate
means. The falling off in the make coupled
the liberal export movement have been the
main causes.
There was good demand for New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and northern fresh creamery
at % to 231S cents, including large tubs at
the inside ana assorted sizes at the outside
figure. Boxes were in short supply on Mon
day and Tuesday and sold at "a to 2ils cents.
Buyers hesitated a little about payiI the
extreme rates, but they soon found that
higher prices might have TO be paid before
the week was out. AS IL was, few receivers
who control several pet makes said they
would get q cents for small tubs.
Owing to sill yht reaction In country mar
kets, cheese is not as buoyant as last week.
but, as our prices were not advanced to the
extreme basis OF cost in the country, there Is
no disposition to recede any now, and sales
run along at l2 cents for finest Northern
twins, with others at liz 10 ll4 cents. The
demand is still equal 10 the supply, and re.
ceipts are kept cleaned up.
There Is considerable Improvement in the
egg market, and as receipts have decreased
the outlook for the remainder of the month
Is more encouraging. Fresh Eastern sold at
Is 10 10 cents, and fancy new laid at % to %
cents. More of the latter are wanted.

This is good sign. There is no reason
why the vacation season should not
extend for another month. The very
fact that so large a proportion of heople
feel that they mustigo to mountain and
shore during the warmer months should
make provision necessary for the large
number who must perforce stay at home
and keep the wheels of business going
round.
And what of those In whose eyes the
beauty of summers twilight surpasses
that of her MONDAY? Their number Is
large, and were it not for the arbitrary
fixing by custom of September as
''the end of the season." they would feel
a greater freedom in the enjoyment of
autumn days in the country.
To be sure there are many who have
revolted and asserted their freedom
from the dictates of custom, but their
number is small by comparison. What
reward is theirs in their freedom, when
their days are passed in mountain, hill
or valley of Vermont! What glorious
skies, what health-giving breezes, what
tints of foliage to enrapture the artists
soul! Summer days have their charm,
but autumn is soul-satisfying. A drive
through the mountains in late Septem-
Der or October finds the old Green
Mountain state in the fullness of her
beauty. Then her hills are dressed in
splendor, as if to join in the harvest Gel
ebration of her valleys. And the music
of her mountain brooks breaks on the
ear with clearer cadence for the autumn
air. Nowhere else can the city-dweller
find so many charms of nature brought
together in small space. Nowhere
else will he find that vigor of atmos-
phere from which he seeks strength to
face the duties of another year.
Then by all means let the season ex-
tend into October. Health of mind and
strength of body will be the better for it.
