The American people would deeply
regret any disaffection on the part of
Gen. Maxine Gomez, or any lack of
sympathy or cooperation in establish
ing the new order of things that must
inevitably precede the realization of
the old hero's fond dream of free
and Independent Cuba. 1t has seemed
clear that all that was needed to be as
sured of the Cuban leaders hearty sup
port in the Presidents plans for re-
storing order in Cuba and rebuilding
on new and lasting foundation both
its political and industrial fortunes was
correct and mutual understanding be.
tween the American and the Cuban
leader. This seems to have been es-
tablished by Robert p. Porter, who,
as the Presidents epecial commission
er, has had a conference with Gomez,
explained to him the Presidents ideas
and purposes. and received from him
assurances of his cooperation in the
work of reconstructing Cuba. The old
warrior says Mr.. Porter has "enlight-
ened his path" and he goes to Havan ma
to confer with General Brooke in the
matter of the unsettled affairs of Cuba.

'Anti.ExpansiOnists' Demands.

Why is it that.the anti-expansionists,
who almost to man opposed the recog-
milton of either the belligerency or the
independence of the Cubans, are now
ardent partisans of the recognition of
the Filipinos? Why do they demand a
headlong, precipitate policy in dispos-
ing of the Philippines when they coun-
selled delay and postponement in the
days that preceded the beginning of the
war? The President has appointed a
commission of exceptionally capable
men to investigate the commercial con-
ditions and possibilities Of the archi-
pelagO, and in order that we may be
possessed of full knowledge before we
act. The anti-expansionist would
forestall knowledge by acting in igno-
rance now. Their arguments have
long since been answered. Now the
President has taken away their very
name by letting it be known that his
policy does not contemplate permanent
possession of the Philippines. New

BE Of Good Cheer, Mr.. President!

Reports come from Washington that
the President is i'll, that he is breaking
down under the personal attacks of the
opponents Of the treaty, following the
long strain of the conduct of the war.
The virulence of his assailants, from
the chief of whom he had a right to
expect more considerable treatment, has
grieved him; and the troubles insep-
arabic from maintaining order and
solving the problems of a stable gov
eminent in the islands recently taken
over from Spain are naturally harrass-
ing the Chief Executive. But Presi-
dent Mckinley should be of good cheer.
With the patriotic people of this Union
nearly solid in support of his course in
the war, and his policy in settling its
issues, what should he care for the raw
ings of Hale, Hoar and their confeder-
ates in the United States Senate? His
name will be "a bright imperishable
star" in the expanding national hori-
zon long after his traducers are "mould-
ering in forgotten graves" So proph-
esied the imperial Conkling of General
Grant at Chicago. Who, to-day recalls
the libellers Of the Great Commander?
Their names are forgotten. Who re-
members the name of Grant and per-
petuates his fame? All the world, and,
first and foremost, all the people of this
American Union. So the President
should rather thank God for his enc
mics in good cause and take abundant
courage. There's a mighty tonic for his
ailment in the good will and confidence
of the great bulk of this patriotic and
appreciative American people.

The New Army.


be does not definitely appear from the
bill that passed the national House of
Representatives on Wednesday. Sena-
tors sometimes have ideas, or what are
conventionally known as ideas, of their
own on many matters, and the Sena-
torial idea is not often the idea of the
Representatives Only about month
of the existing Congress remains.
Many great matters of national concern
are already under consideration in the
Senate, and time is absolutely lacking
for the ponderous and loquacious Sena-
torial mind to adequately exhaust it's
verbiage and wisdom upon the army
bill. So it does not seem probable that
army reorganization will be completed
by this Congress.
What has really come out of the
maelstrom of discussion, of amend
ment and counter-amendment, in the
House in the shape of proposed law,
does not clearly appear to the general
public. Ii is one of those instances of
national legislation wherein the great
public, if not exactly proceeding by
faith rather than by sight in forming
its judgment, feels that it has no COM
potency to Judge, and that the matter
of creating new army, beyond one or
two general propositions, is subject
for expert wisdom and experience,
animated by patriotism and dominated
by conscience, to determine in its lead
ing features and details.
In general way the bill the House
has passed provides for an army having
a minimum force of 80 900 and max.
imum number of 100000 men, in the
discretion of the President. The APP
pointment of civilians to offices in the
engineer corps is forbidden, the can
teen and the sale of liquor in camps is
abolished. The provision for extra
pay to soldiers serving in the tropics
was stricken out. AS passed the bill
provides for ~ regiments of cavalry of
- troops each, IA coast batteries, "a
field batteries, 30 regiments of infantry
of - companies each, with many other
provisions in the different branches of
the service designed to promote it's eff
iciency. The President is also given
discretionary power to recruit the or
CARNATIONS serving in the tropical pos
sessions recently acquired from Spain,
in whole or in part, from the inhabit-
itants of those countries.
A bit of demagoguery in the closing
debate was the amendment offered by
Amos Cummings of New York, prohib.
iting the use of troops in any State of
the Union to suppress riots, except on
the application of the Governor. The
amendment was inspired by the use
made of the regular army, by Presi'
nent Cleveland, to suppress the Chica'
60 riots in 1894, without the consent OF
Gov. Altgeld, one of the two really
creditable acts of Mr.. Cleveland's pub
lie life. The amendment, to the credit
of the House, was defeated by large
majority.

anything to do with the entirely inde-
pendent and separate matter of build
ing an electric railway from Mont
pelier up the valley of Mad River, an
enterprise of which Montpelier must
directly reap benefits which cannot
be diverted to any other place or
locality. All these considerations, as
has been said, must be viewed dispas-
sionately, in the light of reason, avoid
ing hasty action and rescuing the city
from the leisurely and Improbable re.
pentance that is apt to follow hasty and
resentful proceedings.

THE high authorities at Washington
appear to have for Gen. Miles that in
tuitive respect men manifest for load
ed gun. There is a popular belief that
Gen. Miles is right in his criticisms of
high official management in the war
department. They care less for any
informalities in his ways of expressing
his judgment than for the real facts in
volved in his charges. They care less
for red tape than for the real truth red
tape may be employed to conceal. That
is why Roosevelt's protest and Ground
robin" from Santiago last summer add
ed to his strength and popularity. He
was informal when informally was
the only road to remedy. He was pro-
ceeding outside the lines of routine
but he was right This seems to be
the trouble with Gen. Miles.

The Mad River Valley PROJECT.

An impression seems to prevail, to
some extent at least, at the PROPOSE
ton to bond the city of Montpelier in
aid of the projected Mad River valley
electric railway has been imperilled, if
not, indeed, defeated by the recent
action of the Barre and Montpelier
Traction and Power Company in the
matter of fares between the two cities.
This is matter for calm and delib-
crate consideration, not for hasty and
passionate action. If the new arrange
ment as to fares in any way discrimi-
mates unjustly or injuriously against
Montpelier's interests, or the interests
of any part of her people, the presump-
ton ought to be that the company will
provide remedy by proper amend
ment of it's rates and revision of its
policy. 1t ought not to be assumed
that the corporation is inimical to Mont
pelier and is designedly or covertly dis
eliminating against it's interests. That
would be folly supreme on the part of
the company and the end of its pros
peritv, or the beginning of the serious
impairment of its business interests, in
this region. If the company has made
other changes in its charges and ar
rangements for carrying people be-
tween the two cities it will be the chief
sufferer; and if it has made move
that unfairly discriminates against this
city, in any way, it ought to-and it is
believed wilton this being made to
appear, favorably amend it's action.
Montpelier will not knowingly place
any of it's interests in the hands of a
hostile corporation. 1t is hardly con-
ceivable that the electric railway COM
pany doing business here can be hostile
to Montpelier. 1t expects more, and
has more to expect, from this city, in
the future extension and development
OF its business, than from any other
community in Central Vermont. II
would be suicidal for it to antagonize
or disgruntle Montpelier. 1t is not be-
lieved that the company has Willingly
done this, or intends to be otherwise
than just and fair and favorable to
Montpelier. The men who are manag
ing the company's affairs are not fools
though from an outside point of view
they appear to have done a foolish
thing in raising their fares and in other
wise restricting the popular use of thei
road.
But all this aside. Assuming-snd
believing-that the men holding fran
chises and managing electric railway
affairs in this region, and who are
planning electric railway extension
into the peighboring communities, ar
friendly to Montpelier, and mean t.
treat fairly all her interests affected b
electric railway construction, 1t is pro
per to inquire what there can be Il
the recent rise and change in fares tha
should materially alter the attitude {
the voters of Montpelier toward tn
proposition to bond the city to aid /
the construction of the Mad Rive
valley electric railway? The prot
pective benefit which, it has been cor
coded, this city would derive fror

were before the recent action Of tn
