The St Adams Messenger wants the
First Vermont volunteers taken to
New York city to welcome Dewey.
Don't do ii. When Dewey comes to
Vermont muster the regiment, If that
is deemed advisable, to share in the
welcome the State will give the Ad-
miral on her own soil. There seems to
be neither propriety nor reason in TAX
ing the regiment down to New York.
Vermonters will go to the great city to
see the hero of Manila when he lands
and participate in his reception, and
some sort of organization, some degree
OF formality, may be desirable in well
coming him ashore. The Governor at
the head of a representative body of
citizens whom he may appoint, or who
may be chosen in some other proper
way, would fifty represent the State on
that occasion; but when the Admiral
comes up among the Green Hills, when
his foot is son his native heath" then
the people, individually and collectively,
organized and unorganized, official and
unofficial, civic aud military, will make
the welkin ring with the thunders of a
welcome that is all Vermont's own.

Various answers were given, showing

which was walking. What action is

1t is the most complex, violent and pc
rllous operation, which we divest Of it's
exit eme danger only by continual prac-
tice from a very early period of life.
We find how complex it is when we at

violent it is when we walk against
post or a door in the dark. We dis
cover how dangerous it is when we
slip or trip and come down, perhaps
breaking or dislocating our limbs, or
overlook the last step OF a flight of

as we all know, to our sorrow, still, the
genial autocrat has not explained the

PrOpping Up Rebellion.

At time when the instruction of
the Filipinos is tottering to its fall, the
anti-imperalists get together again in
Boston to extol Aguinaldo, encoura ge
the insurgents to continue their resis-
lance, and contribute to the prolonging
war which their seditious opposition
to the government at home was directly
instrumental in originating. During
the fall and early winter the agents of
the Filipino's were in this country and
at its seat of government. Every word
Senator Hoar and his associates was
speaking in opposition to Il e ratifica-
ton of the treaty OF peace and in lauda-
ton of Aguinaldo as the Washington,

word of direct instigation to rise
against the authority the Uuited States
had acquired, or would acquire, from
Spain, was cabled to the Filipino junta
at Hong Kong aud thence carried into
the councils OF Aguinaldo. Under

the treaty ratified, large majority of
the American people would be opposed
to retaining the archipelago, Aguinaldo
made war upon the American forces
around Manila, and has continued in
rebellion to the present time.
"Aguinaldo is right, the President is
wrong" declared Mr.. Boutwell,, presi-
dent of the anti-imperialistic league,
at the meeting in Boston yesterday, in
respect of the contention between the
little Maylay traitor, thief and cutthroat
and William Mckinley, the representa-
tive of the rights and authority of the
United States. This declaration is
probably in the insurgent camp by this
time, with the further representation
of this spokesman of a seditous nest
that he and his brood of conspirators
comprise the dominant sentiment in
the United States. The Filipino's may
be further encouraged by the subjoined
statement of Mr.. Boutwell, as to the
purpose of his organization:
1t is, however, our purpose, and in this
purpose we cannot be frustrated nor de-
layed, to bring the army out Of the Philip
pines by the quiet influence of the Amer

ordinary channels of intercourse and COM
