Senator Ross First Speech.

Senator Ross stroked his whskers the
right way when he made q speech Mon.
day in the senate favorng the ratifca.
ton of the treaty. Bellows Falls
Times.
Although Vermont's senior senator
was not present when the vote was
taken upon the peace treaty, he was
paired in favor OF ratification. Vermont
was ably represented in the person of
her junior senator, Jonathan Ross, who
made his maiden appearance i'll debate in
advocating the ratification of the treaty
In which advocacy he represented tke
overwhelming sentiment Of his state and
people, irrespective OF party.-[St. Al
bans Messenger
! In the executive session of the senate
on Monday, Senator Ross read brief
written speech, announcing his intention
to support the treaty as in the interest
OF peace, Senator Morrill,, though Cd.
posed to expansion, would uuquestiou-
ably have voted for the ratification ot
the treaty. He was diff. rent sort oil
a patriot and Christian from Hoar and
Hale Montpelier Daily Record.
The way Senator Ross spoke showed
that he had given the subject careful
study and had made up his mind that
the ratification OF the treaty was tn,
only logical and right thing to do. Hi,
speech has been quite iavorably com
nFented upon and it is now more eviden
than ever that Gov Smith made a goot
selection in the appointment of Iudg
Ross Bradford Opinion.
Mr., Ross, the new senator from Yer
, mont, made his maiden speech this after
! noon. He opposed any amendment t,
the treaty and declared his opposition
to any sort oil declaratory resolution
however harmless it might be. He sal
that the people OF his state had an oil
fashioned idea that the flag should no

and that this great republic could d
anything that any other governmen
J had done. He believed that we coul

Fact Versus Fiction.

That was such pretty story
about Dewey calling a halt in the
battle of Manila bay for the ex-
hausted gunners to have breakfast
that it seems too bad to find that the
true reason was very different. The
story of the battle is graphically told
in the February Harper's by war
correspondent and he says the battle
was interrupted to find out how
much longer the American fleet could
keep up the fight. After sharp fight
ing for over two hours Admiral
Dewey could not discover that any
of the Spanish ships had been
seriously injured, and the alarming
discovery was made that the Amt ri
can warships did not have enough
ammunition to fight two hours
longer. While Admiral Dewey was
studying on the problem Mr.. Stick
ney, the war correspondent, told the
men they had hauled off for break
fast. In a few moments it was dis
covered that two of the Spanish
ships were on fire and the battle wa:
then practically over. So the break
fast story was an incident suggested
by a bright war correspondent tc
relieve the admiral from fusillade o
questions at a time when the battle
seemed lost. 1t wade pretty story
but after all truth is stranger thar
fiction, and the fact that the battl
was fought without the loss of al
American sailor will always remain
the strangest fact of the whole 10(
days war.

Popularity of KipIlng's Work.

1t is somewhat interesting to compare
the popularity of MIR. Kiplng's latest
book, THE Days Work." in England
and America. The London publishers
advertised he forty.second thousand on
December 81, and ii their custom is the
same as in the United States. this signi.
fes the number printed, not sold, at that
date. Moreover, it includes all the cheap
colonial editions. The American pub.
llshers of the book had actually sold
over fifty thousand copies at that time
an increase OF at least one fourth over
the corresponding sales in his native
land. The American resentment against
Mr. Kipllng Tor some of his early plain
speaking, which some newspapers have
discovered, evidently takes the unusual
form OF an unprecedented purchase o.
his books, Duing the two weeks follow
ing January /, when the book trade is al
its dulleSt, the sales of "rhe Days Work
amounted to fully 5000 copies, and Mr.
Klplng's approaching visit to America
will undoubtedly stimulate the demand
still more.

give the Philippines good government
and add to their peace and happiness by
administering the affairs OF those islands
until such time as we might determine
Just what was best to be done in the
way OF permanent government.-lNew
York Sun.
Senator Ross addressed the Senate Tor
the first time Monday on the treaty. but
as it was an executive session 1t was not
reported. 1t only occupied about ten
minutes and at its conclusion the sena-
tor was generously complmented by the
best lawyers of the body because OF the
weight and force of the legal reasoning
indicated. The senator touched on one
or two vital points previously neglected
in the discussion OF the matter, and their
careful and logical presentation was
carefully listened to.-Uohn E. Harris

Senator Ross Enacts a Law.

The Washington Post thus de.
scribes Senator Ross first utterances
in the Senate on Monday, Jan. 80:
Senator Ross, OF Vermont, made his
maiden speech in the Senate Monday. 1t
was neither a lengthy nor an eloquent
address, but as it accomplished all that
Mr.. Ross wanted, it was as effective as
if it had rivaed the utttrances OF Daniel
Webster or Henry Clay, A bill which
had been passed by the Senate authoriz-
ing the construction OF bridge over
some OF the waters OF Lake Champlain,
came over from the House with some
amendments. 81 ask unanimous consent
that the bill be laid before the senate
said Mr. Ross, in an appealing tone.
Senatorial courtesy would not permit an
obj c,ion to the Senator's first request,
and the bill was taken up. "lnow move
that the House amendments be concurred
in" said the Senator and this being
agreed to, MIR Ross has the satisfaction
Of knowing how it feels to enact law"

We do not recall any piece Of jour.
nalistic enterprise since the civil war
that exceeds the news OF the recent
battle OF Manila which was nrst
published in the New York Sunday
Sun of February S. The Sun cores
pondent got the first despatch out OF
Manila and President Mckinley and
the departments at Washington first
knew of the great battle from the
Suns Washington correspondent.
1t must have cost the Sun hundreds
of dollars to keep the public so well
posted on Manila happenings all
last week, but "the Sun shines for
all" and they gave all the news irres-
pective of the cost.

the Maine" With Porto Rico and the
the Hawaiian Islands annexed and
the American flag flying in Cuba and
the Philippines it would seem as ii
the Maine was remembered in way
that Spain hardly dreamed of at the
time of her treachery. Within the
year the proud Castiian kingdom
has been reduced to a peninsula on
the Atlantic Ocean and the United
States has become one OF the fore
most nations Of the world with a
foreign policy that would have de-
lighted the heart Of the late James
G. Blaine or President Grant. We
have made history rapidly since Feb.
Is, 1898, and we have made it well.

A unique and exciting political hight

ticket being represented by men, while
women are the standard bearers Tor
democracy. Mrs. Kline is one OF the
democratic candidates, and her husband

although the borough is democratic by
large majority. there is danger OF the
ticket being showed under, owing to un'
gallant democrats, declaring that they
will not vote Tor women.

word for temperance when the army

legalzed saloon will be stntd in tn,
Senate as promptly as it was in thu
House.
