found people everywhere talking of the
course of the American government in the
Philippines:
have often been asked 10 solve the prob
lem of how our policy in the Philippine ques'
ton could be recOnciled with our traditions
as nation and our institutions as a republi
can government, which conundrum always
gave up. Some very Intelligent Englishmen
and Frenchmen with whom have discussed
this matter pressed their opinion that our
actions were a complete reversal OF our re-
publican ideas They did not seem to un
derstand how the American government
could seek to impose itself upon people
For the first time in Anne rican history the
American citizen travelling abroad is being
placed on the defensive by the action of his
government.

Farm Hand Commits Suicide.

Montpelier, Oct 3.-Timothy O'Brien,
Jr., aged 80 years, farm hand en-
ployed on the farm of Charles Ormsbee
at East Montpelier Centre, committed
suicide by drowning Monday on the
premises where he worked. About three
o'clock in the afternoon on going out
into the barnyard Mr.. Ormsbee found
O'Brien with his hands bound in front
of him and his head buried beneath the
stagnant waters of an immersed water
tub. The man appeared lifeless and
summoning assistance, Mr.. Ormsbee re-
moved him to the house and summoned
a doctor of this city who found that
life was extinct. A letter was found in
the room of the dead man addressed to
his brother David, who, while he would
not give it out for publication, stated
that in substance his brother stated as a
reason for his rash act that he was
respondent and there was no joy in liv-
ing in this world for him and so he had
decided to take his life.

Admiral George Dewey. witt

call, Admiral George Dewey. With
another and no less patriotic leader the
Democratic party may win, but with
Dewey, success Is absolute. Should
such an opportunity of service not
merely to the party, but to the country,
be neglected? Is there not an almost
sacred call that all differences may end,
that all ambitions may be put aside, aud
the modest, valiant, prudent warrior
statesman asked AS with one voice to
take the exalted Office in which he
more than any other living man could
command the confidence of the whole
people and enforce the respect of the
entire world for America. Admiral
Dewey has replied to questions as to his
possible acceptance of a nomination for
the presidency that he Is no politician.
The people want no politician. They
have suffered from administrations of
politicians enough. But they do want
the splendidly temperate intellect, the
unflinching performance of duty, the
hearted deep love of country, the fine
wisdom In diplomacy of whose possess
lon he has given ample proof. Admiral
Dewey does not want the presidency.
But if the nation needs his service in any
station, we may believe his patriotism
too lofty to permit refusal. The OPP
portunity Is open to the people to secure
the peace, honor and stability of their
government to degree not heretofore
attained. Dewey seems predestined as
the instrument. Nominate Dewey and
his election is as certain as the daylight.
No earthly dover could stop 1t. He
would be invincible, sweeping party
lines aside as inconsequential ties suit
able for other times, but not for this.
The exultant people would elect him by
over whelming odds. The New York
World has aptly said: "At several
points in our history certain men,
always national heroes, have been called
to the presidency by concurrence of all
the conditions and circumstances of
their time. The finger of natural selec-
ton pointed to them as predestined
presidents by the imperious force of
foreordained events. Was h ington n,
johnson and Grant were all thus nomi-
mated. Dewey is similarly pointed out
for 1900. The elevation of George
Dewey to the presidency would be the
certain guarantee of prosperity and
peace at home; of the honor of the
| United States everywhere"

Vermont's Dewey celebration has been
fixed for next Thursday, the l2th. From
numerous remarks let fall by the admiral
in reply to pressing invitations to visit
other cities besides New York and Wash
ington, it is evident that he looks for
ward to his visit to the old home with
more genuine, heartfelt pleasure than he
yet has felt. New York dazzled the eye,
Washington appealed to the pride, but
Vermont will give its son welcome
that will 60 straight to the heart. That
love BILE trait of human nature which
prompts men to look with greatest long,
ing for approval and recognition from
the frie nds and intimates of early years,
and pits such against the applause of a
world of strangers, is marked In Dewey ;
and he will find that approval and recog-
milton awaiting him on his return to the
home of his youth.
