Mr.. Reed Talks treason"

A Saco (Me.) man heard Thomas B.
Reed talking with two Portland men on
the train, the other day. His first re-
mark was called out by the argument of
the Portland expansionist, that whether
we are rightly or wrongly in possession
of the Philippines, withdrawal of our
troops now would humliate the United
States before the world. According to
the Saco citizens notebook Mr.. Reed
said: you don't think those Filipinos
would chase our soldiers 1000 miles, if
they should start for home, do you?
The person thus addressed replied that
initiation in the sight of other nations,
which was referred to.
81 have always observed" said Mr..
Reed, THAT with individuals the fear of
humiliation is exactly in proportion as
they deserve 1t. and | believe the same
principle holds good with nation and
with a party. Some people seem to be
afraid that these Fllipinos will put their
tongues to their cheeks at US. They have
done that already. They have watched our
failure the same as others have. | don't
know how long it will be before the
American people will get tired of spend.
ing $50, 000,0 900 year trying to conquer
these people. but it doesn't seem to me it
will be very long. | can conceive that
freedom is just as dear to these people as
it is to US, and that they will fight for it
just as hard"
In the course of further discussion, Mr..
Reed remarked that he did not consider
that the Filipinos were in the same class
with the American negroes, and that we
had not attained the highest success in
taking care of them.

AS TO TELEPHONE MoNoPoL,gs

st. Adams and Swdnton people are putting
up great howl over the raising of rates by
the New En- gland Teleph Jne peo pie. In ST
Adams an effort il on foot to start an oppOsi
ton local eXch lnge. This may work all right
Tor awhile. but the business men who do any
great amount of business outside of town
Will be reluctant to go into the scheme, as
they cannot get the service they need. There
is no use of making such a fuss about it; YOU
will have TO come to the terms of the New Eng
land people after "a little while.-Vergennes
Vermonter.
Why "have to-! Perhaps nine.tenths
of the business Of the telephone compa-
MES is wholly local. Why cannot local
companies control it and leave the one.
tenth for the long distance lines?
Wherever it has been tried it has
proved feasible. Wherever the local
companies have failed, the cause of their
failure has been that which swamped the
st. Adams local exchange and forced it
to sell out to the New England company.
The latter brought into play the reserve
fund it had accumulated by high rates
and choked its younger and poorer COM
petitor by the same method that the oil,
sugar. meat. coal and other monopolies
do the trick-by temporarily reducing
rates to IA point where less wealthy com.

petition must quit. And as in all such
cases, the telephone patrons had the
matter In their own hands. When the
low rates were offered by the New Eng
land people, the st. Albansites didn't
inquire whether the rate was a rerman-
ent one or not, but deserted the local
company for the poor privilege of talking
out of town from their own offices or
residences few times year, instead of
walking block or two to New Eng
land pay-station for the purpose. And
it wasn't quite as bad as that, either, as
the local exchange covered surrounding
towns as we'll as st. Adams. When the
New England company finally forced the
local concern to sell out, up went the
prices again.
In contrast we have the example of
Brandon, where the Peoples Telephone
company is local concern. About the
time the New England company started
the strangling act at st. Adams, the
grippers were put on at Brandon to force
the Peoples to succumb. But Brandon's
citizens were not born yesterday The
Peoples rates before had been low
enough for them, and when the New
England company invited them to come
into its parlor, they just winked the
other eye-and stayed right where they
were. AS result prices in Brandon also
are staying where they we're; and con-
nections with other local companies
throughout the state have given Bran
don's business men a service good
enough for all practical purposes. When
they want something extra they are not
too tired to walk to a New England sta
ton to get it.
There appears to be no good reason,
first, why users of telephones should not
get the service at as low rate as is con-
sistent with fair profit on the invest
ment of the company operating the sys-
TEN; and, second, why their money
should not stay at home instead of going
to enrich distant monopolists.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER %. 1899.

In an anonymous letter received for
publication by the REGISTER this week
appears the sentence: "Do we not con-
fess by our actions the weakness of our
principles?' We do, we do; and one
example of this sort of confession is in
writing anonymous letters to the press.
However filled with the wisdom of Solo
mon, the political insight of Junius or
the moral rectitude of a Luther such
letters may be, the one fact that their
writers are not willing to father them
stamps them in the view of every editor
as worthy of less consideration than the
output of the pen of the veriest tyro in
letters who acknowledges his authorship
by his signature. If this is true of the
run of anonymous letters, it is trebly
true of such of them as contain re-
Elections on personal character.

south American View of Us.

| To the Editor of the Republican =
our editorial in today's issue en- 1.-The
Blow TO American PRESTIGE reminds me
of communication Which | received a
few days ago from w. F. Whitney. a
large chair manufacturer in South Ash
burnham. Mr.. Whitney trades with
South American countries, and his cor
respondents send him papers from the re.
He says: "Since the Philippine war and
the spirit of conquest that actuates this
government, the countries TO the south
look With Gi>trust upon us. They say
What reason have we to expect that the
United States will respect our govern
ments and our independence, now that
the greed of empire is so strong as to in
duce that country TO send vast armies to
the Philippines TO gobble up Asiatlc ter
ritory.' They say the time will soon
come when the greedy eyes of the great
American republic will look with long.
ing desire upon the small South Amer
lean republics.
"Ihere Is a newspaper published in
Caracas called La Guayra Coieo, in which
they say the North American republic is
now 'Lobo GigantescO,' which means h
gaunt wolf prowling TO devour unsuspi-
cious infants and fastening quarrels Oh
lambs, whose Otfense is a mere desire to
be left alone. This same paper speaks of
the United States as land robbers In
another paper published in Caracas, they
say that the United States are traitors TO
their pledged word and the cause of
human liberty. In a paper published In
Buenos Ayres, the leading editorial says
the South American republics must unite
in common defense against the power of
the north, which is likely to be their
common enemy. The attitude our coun-
try has taken toward the Philippines has
done a great deal to iniure our trade in
the South American republics. We have
lost them as friends. They now look
upon us as possible enemy"
That Mr.. Whtney's letter conveys
most important truth | have not the
slightest doubt. Only speedy and en-
phatic rebuke of the administration at
the polls will turn The tide of sentiment
again in our favor. X. E. BIsBEE.

DEWEY DAY AT MONTPENER
Ample Preparation VIII be Made fof Ac-
comm Jdation of Visitors.

i comm Jdation of Visitors. y
The Montpelier committee having
charge of providing entertainment for
the thousands of people who will visit
the city on the day of the Dewey ctlebra
ton is making ample preparations for
the event and will be able to furnish
meals and lodging for all those who
require them.
a contract has already been ma lie with
Joseph d Valiquet, of Boston, caterer
who has had an experience Of many
years in feeding large crowds, and who
has also the reputation of giving the
very best of satisfaction to the people
who patrouize him. Mr.. Valiquet will
be able to furnish meals for several
thousand people. A large tent Will be
erected on Haymarket square, capable Of
serving thousands of people; meals will
be furnished from 10 80 o'clock in the
morning until at night. The price of
the meals will be 80 cents each. and the
meals will be ample and of good quality
The bill of fare includes three kinds of
cold meats, elem chowder, potatoes,
olives, potato salad, bread and butter,
tea, coffee, fruits, etc. In addition to
furnishing regular meals, he will also
have lunch counter where people can
procure sandwich, pies, doughnuts, tea.
coffee, ETC., at reasonable rates This, in
addition to the number of private enter
prises to feed the people, the service of
the hotels and boarding houses and the
meals that will be provided in private
families. will be sufficient for the large
crowd that is expected.
One of the most difficult matters In
connection with caring for the visitors is
to provide rooms for those who wish
to remain over night, but this work
has been taken up so Systematically that
every room and bed in Montpelier will be
available. a bureau of information has
been organized and Is already at work or
canvass of the city. There is member
from each ward and every house In Mont
peler will be visited, so that when the
canvass is completed the bureau will
have complete information as to what
rooms can be secured, the price of same
and the location. In case they find that
the accommodations are likely to prove
|
erection of temporary structures. Per
sons from outside Montpelier who desire
to engage rooms for one or two nights
should at once address William Y
Theriault, secretary. By making early
application they will secure better ac'
commodations for themselves and will
also tighten the work of the bureau
The bureau Of information will have ar
office near the Central Vermont station
on the day of celebration, where they
will be prepared to furnish all inform
alton to visitors, assign rooms to those
who have not secured them in advance
and do everything they can to promote
| the comfort of the visitors to the
city. The city council will have large
number of extra policemen on duty. SO
that there will be no danger of any
disturbance. no matter how large a
crowd there may be.
