A question that has vexed the people
of the state ever since the return of the
Vermont volunteers in the Spanish war
has at last been settled by the supreme
court bench of the state. The question
was whether or not the mastering In of
a regiment of volunteers acted to dis
solve permanently the national guard of
the state. 1t generally has been thought
that the disbanding of the volunteers on
their return from Chickamauga left the
state without troops, and the discussion
has all been along the lines of reorgani-
zatlon. Governor Smith recently adj
dressed Judge Taft on the subject. and
the courts decision was made public on
Wednesday. The matter is treated in an
exhaustive manner, but the main point
made is that the national guard merely
was on leave of absence during the time
of service under the federal government,
and that on their return they, exclusive
of the members who were not originally
national guardsmen, constituted and
were reinstalled as the First regiment,
national guard of Vermont. So it APP
pears that Vermont's state troops are
still under organization.

The Peace Conference at The Hague is
not the first one Of the kind ever con-
celved, contrary to the generally accepted
statements. 1t is recalled that Napoleon
III, when he found himself deserted by
the powers of Europe in his little i'm
perialistic plan in Mexico at the close of
our Civil War, and was hedged about at
home by meancing difficulties, sent out
invitations to the courts of Prussia,
Austria and Italy to meet and hold con-
ference with the object of maintaining
peace on the continent. How little eff
ficacy the invitation had is Illustrated by
the fact that before the appointed time
for the conference the three nations thus
invited were at each others threats over
Schleswig- Holstein.

An event of much general interest was
the placing on the New York market
last week, for the first time in the history
of the country, of lot of American
grown tea. 1t was grown at Pinehurst
in South Carolina, and was of such a fine
grade that it is reported to have brought
higher price than the rarest variety of
Chinese or Japanese tea. The agricul-
tural department at Washington has long
commended that conditions in certain To-
calities of the South were favorable to
the growth of tea, and this successful
outcome of the South Carolina expert
ment will no doubt give strong impetus
to the business of tea growing. South
ern planters have of recent years found
their cotton crops anything but profit
able. a new industry so localized by
climatic conditions as that of tea-culture
should prove boon to many of them.

We publish an advertisement of KO
DOL DYSPEPSIA CURE in our columns
this issue, and wish to say to our patrons
that we believe this preparation is
worthy of trial by any person suffering
from this agonizing complaint. We
honestly believe this preparation will do
for you all the manufacturers claim
forlt. kODOL DYSPEPSIA CURE is prepar-
ed by the well known and reliable firm of
f. G.. Dewitt 81 Co., Chicago and from
our long experience in business
sense, with this firm as advertisers, we
feel safe in saying, that they would not
place on the market preparation for
the cure of Dyspepsia unless they had a
remedy of the highest merit. and con.
scientiously believed it would cure this
well known aud almost universal COM
plant.
We further add that if this prepare
ton is equal to the other well know n
remedies which they make, viz:--De-
Wits Little Early Risers. Dewitt S
Witch Hazel Salve, and One Minute
Cough Cure, it will speedily win its way
into public favor.
We cheerfully and heartily give our
personal endorsement to this concern,
and the reliability of the goods they
manufacture, which have been largely
the means of their success, and in writ
ing this voluntary endorsement on our
part, we feel that We are simply per-
forming a duty which we owe to our
patrons.

Gen. Otis, in his formal report TO the war
department., says that responsibility for con-
tinuance of the revolt in Luzon rests with
those Americans whose criticism of the
administration has encouraged the rebels to
believe that with a test Of the matter at the
polls the present policy of the American
government would be reversed. This in
substance also is the charge of Hon. John
Barrett, ex.United states minister to SIAM
Admitting. for sake of argument, that it is
true, the question Immediately arises, Have
a minority no rights now are they to
have no rights hereafter in discussing the for
eign policy of the nation? If so, then democ.

becoming militant. Assertion of the claim
needs only to be made to make it intoler.

70 charge the responsibility, to those
who are constrained to doubt whether the
gatling gun is the best instrument of
Christianity and civilization and whether
determination Is the best method of
commencing free institutions to any peo-
pie, savage or civilized, is a cheap and
simple way to stine unpleasant discus
sion, as an exchange points out.
But it will not always and every
where prove effective. Most intelligent
Americans know that the Filipinos were
at war for their independence before our
war with Spain began; that they were
fighting for their independence when
Dewey's fleet sailed into Manila bay; that
they have never varied from their declar-
alton that what they wanted was gov
eminent Of their own choice, and not one
imposed upon them by any foreign nation.
Their leaders gave US early notice that If
the Americans stood between them and
their purpose, they would fight the Amerl-
cans, as they had fought the Spanlards.
They would probably have well
coined an American protectorate if
it had been rendered to them; but
they never gave any reason to
suppose that they would welcome Amer
lean subjugation. That they began the
fighting, when they came to believe that
the latter was the policy determined on
by the United States, and that they have
used treachery as we'll as Mauser rifles in
carrying out their purpose, do not alter
the main facts of the case. And while
they have doubtless derived some encour-
agement from the information which has
reached them that many Americans
wished them well and deplored the APP
parent necessity of fighting them, they
would no doubt have kept on In their
struggle for independence, and be fight
ing as they are today, if not word of
criticism or depreciation of the war in
Luzon had reached them from the United
States. The authors of the policy which
has resulted in our present unfortunate
and costly war in the Philippines cannot
shift the responsibility for the war, or
for its continuance, to the shoulders of
the men who have lent no couutenance
to that policy.

The floating of the noble vessel Paris,
after it had been given up to the under
writer's by the owners and was supposed
would become a total wreck on the dam
gerous rocks known as the Manacles, off
the English coast, causes much satisfac-
ton. Almost at the same time the report
of the investigating board was made,
which finds Captain Watson, by his own
confession, responsible for the disaster.
The captain admitted that he was about
Is miles ahead of his calculations as to
the position of his vessel. The board &,
however, says in Its report that this ad-
mission from the captain does not ex-
plain why he was so far north of his
course, and presumably the captain him
self is unable to explain it. So many
wrecks have occurred on these Manacles
as to lend strength to the theory that the
rocks are at times magnetized, causing
the compass to deyiate and thereby mis-
leading mariners. The island of Born
holm in the Baltic sea is of this class.
Its power of attraction extends for miles
in all directions, and is so strong that
sailors are obliged when passing to de-
pend upon lighthouses and landmarks to
steer a proper course. Near the island is
submerged rock so strongly magnetized
