The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1899-12-06

The CIRCUIT editors have been charg-
ing that Prouty is ungrateful in becom-
ing candidate for the senatorship
against their patron, in that Grout, by
an act of supreme self-abnegation, ee-
cured Prouty's appointment on the
board of interstate commerce commits
sioners instead of taking it himself.
To this charge, G. F. Ranney, in the
Newport ErpreSs, pertinently replies:
sit is admitted that Mr.. CIRCUITS ambi-
ton has been for the Senate for long
years, and it would not be at all sur
prising for him to seek to sidetrack a
popular rival by helping to place him
upon the interstate commerce COM
mission" The Grout editors have
been similarly solicitous to sidetrack
another of their patrons rivals. Mr..
Ranuey effectively combats the other
contention of the Grout people that
their chief is "the logical successor" of
Senator Morrill,. "No man is" says
Mr.. Ranney. at is for the people
themselves to name the man."

In making public denial of the re-
vived story of an alliance between this
government and England and Germa-
ny, or both, Secretary Hay expressed
gratification-a qualification that ought
to be shared by every patriotic Ameri-
can, over the fact that our relations are
more friendly than at any time in our
history with all the nations of the
world, and to inquire, "Why should it
not be so? Everyone likes to be on
good terms with the peaceable and
prosperous, especially if their prosper
ity is of that nature that other people
profit by it; and this is precisely our
condition"

Representative Cannon of Ill.,, who
had been credited by Democrats with
being opposed to the Republican caucus
committees financial bill, denied the
report in his Enthusiastically blunt
way. For the purpose of allowing
plenty of time for discussion, the fnan-
cial bill was not considered by the Re-
publican caucus which nominated
House officers and decided to readopt
the rules of the last House, but a
special caucus will be held at which the
bill will be taken up, and, as a matte r
of course, approved, and arrangements
will be made to have it passed by the
House, before the holiday recess.

The zeal, industry and perseverance
which secured seven million names to
a petition against the seating of Brig
ham Fl. Roberts as Representative
from Utah deserves to succeed, and all
the indications point to success. With
the Republican majority against him
and the Democrats Offering protests
against his admission, the case of Mr..
Roberts would seem to be in desperate
straits. A dramatic air was given TO
the proceedings in the House, by the
bringing in of the monster petition.
1t was in twenty sections, each about
two feet in diameter, encased in the
American flag, and these were stacked
up in the area in front of the clerks
desk, where they were regarded with
great curiosity.

Commissioner Hermann Says the Land
Office Has Had Rusy Year.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-Land Com.
missioner Hermann says that his an.
nual report, soon to be made public,
will show the past year to have been
one Of the busiest in the history of the
Office. "More homesteads have been
taken and more cash sales made," said
the commissioner, "than in any one of
the recent years." This condition of af-
fairs is attributed by the commissioner
to the excellent state of business, and he
says it has been the experience of the
Office that in times of prosperity the pub.
lie lands are rapidly taken by settlers,
while in a period of depression settlers
are content to squat, with prospect of
contest, rather than pay the small
amount required to obtain homestead.
"The prospects for the coming year."
said the commissioner, ''are equally
bright, and the opinion that the land
Office is ready to 60 out of business will
not be verified for years to come"
The commissioner is collecting data
for his report, which will be made pub
lie late in October. He will devote
some attention to timber matters on
the Chippewa reservations tending to
uphold the present system of disposing
of the Indian pine.

that he can take no stand against them.

MIR. HANNA AT HOME.

Expresses Opinions on Philippines nnd
Presidential Possibilities.
CLEVELAND. Sept. Ex-senator Hanna
arrived home shortly after noon and,
after having made q brief visit to his
office, went to his residence. Regard
ing the Philippine situation he had this
to say:
IF some people believe that the mass
of the people of the United States de-
sire to give up what our soldiers and
sailors have fought for they are most
mistaken. Our soldiers are not now
fighting the representative Filipinos,
but the riff-raf of the islands. In good
time they will be given protectory
government with just as much indie
pendence as they can handle"
Asked whether he thought Roosevelt
would be a candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination, he said:
II cannot express any definite opinion
now, but Mckinley and Hobart are the
logical candidates."
Senator Hanna said he had no inten-
ton of relinquishing the Craftsmanship
of the Republican national executive
committee before his term expires.

threaten the determination of their race.
Necessity for action.is emphasized by
the brotherhood in circular sent
throughout the country calling on Bo-

pended statistics going to show that
one-third of the deaths among Bohe.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-Major Gen.
eral Shafter has sent to the war depart.
ment a copy Of the dispatch which he
has received from Major P. H. Ray.
1t is dated Fort st. Michael, and is as
follows:
II find at Anvil and along the beach
between 5000 and $500 people. Fully
$500 Of the people will be compelled to
leave there before the close Of naviga-
ton, owing to lack of fuel and sheltcr.
From all can learn. here, there will
be but three steamers here to return be,
fore tho season closes. Unless the
people can get away there will be great
suffering and probable loss of life,
which 1t will be impossible to anchor
ate. AS a rule all have plenty of
money to pay their passage. there
fore suggest that the transporta-
ton companies be warned of the con-
dition of affairs, and that the
treasury department be asked to order
cutters there as late as possible to
meet any emergency. Cape Nome dis
trict is one of the richest ever discov-
cred in our country and will rival the
Klondike. The beach washing is a
godsend to the destitute stranded here.
There are from 600 to 1000 people along
the beach, and they are taking out from
$40 to $3.50 per day per man with rock
ers. The gulch district is as yet
not fully developed, but shows
great richness wherever worked. l
look for the greatest results next sea-
son. Will make a full report from Ft.
Egbert. sail from here tomorrow"
General Shafter says he has notified
the transportation people of the amount
of patronage they can expect if they
have ships at Ft. St. Michael to bring
people down.

o'clock in the morning the ship re-
manned fast until daylight, when by
adopting the expedient Of putting the
men alternately from one side to the
other the ship was rolled from the
rocks into deep water, where she at
once began to fill rapidly. She headed
for the island of Inoshima, several
miles distant, sinking perceptibly with
every yard of progress. She reached
the beach barely a minute before other
wise going under. The discipline of
the men was admirable and all were
gotten ashore in eafety.

QUIETLY RECEIVED.

Decision to Pardon Dreyfus Caused No
Excitement III the French Capital.
PARIS, Sept. 21.-The decision of the
cabinet to pardon Dreyfus created less
interest in Paris than would the result
of Il big horse race. In fact it may be
said that it caused no excitement what
ever. There was no rioting on the
boulevards. In front of the Office of
The Libre Parole, where Il crowd
usually assemblies in the evening to
gaze upon the huge colorcd Transparent
cles outside the windows of the leading
anti-Semite journal, there was not the
slightest gathering or the faintest sign
of demonstration either for or against
Dreyfus. One would think that the
whole Dreyfus agitation had burned
itself out. The anti-Dreyfusard even.
ing papers tried to infuse interest into
The Governments Action
by rabid attack upon President Lou
bet, but their efforts were futile. The
peaceful crowds that filled the tables in
front of the cafes, slipping their after
dinner coffee, looked at the newsboys
who displayed the front pages of these
sheets with their violent headlines, but
utterly refused to get excited. The
majority did not even discuss the mat
ter or only made the passing remark
that the decision was just what had
been expected and predicted by ever.
Partisan newspaper since the Rennes
courtmartial delivered its verdict. The
anti-Dreyfusard newspaper Soir had
the most sensational caption, two lines
extending across the front page an
nouncing, "The traitor receives pardon.
Outrage on the army"
The Fight VIII he Kept Up.
The pardoning of Dreyfus does not
drop the curtain on the drama. The
Dreyfusards are determined to pursue
the campaign against the generals and
other officers of the general staff who
have lied and committed gross Illegal.
ties in order to keep the prison door
closed on their victim. The campaign
for his release has also given the Social
list party weapon of which they will
avail themselves to the utmost and
Dreyfusism will be extended more and
more into Socialistic agitation.
The pardon of Dreyfus, therefore.
only finishes one act of the drama and
France will again find herself in the
throes of party passion before the Paris
exposition opens its doors next May.
