The English people have had q taste
of Az "old granny" in the war depart
ment much after the manner the people
IN this country suffered while Alger was
in the war department 10 this country,
and they nave not been slow to express
their distrust and disapprovaI Of his
methods. Lord Wolsey has been a good
soldier In his day, but be is too sntiquat-
ed now for the head of q war Office for
az intelligent people. When the dis
patches of British reverses at Dundee,
South Africa, began to come in this head
OF the war Office held up the full reports
OF disaster. no doubt expecting better
news later on when be could temper the
bitter with the sweet and thus let
the people down easy His intentions
were no doubt good but they we're not
well grounded. The British people are
just rs intelligent as he is and just as
capable and responsible to make the
right application Of lessons OF defeat as
he is and they wanted the truth and
ioSlS az 4ulChIy dc Lucy "ClC cCuV dI1O
made their demands heard. And they
were right in their demands. The Brit.
90 is not like the F~renchman, excit.
able aud impulsive and liable to go off
into mob violence whenever be hears re-
ports Of encouragement and disaster.
He is intelligent, calculating and reasons
coo!y and there is no danger of him in
teriering with his government unless it
ls radically wrong md theu he ought to
interfere with is for his country's good.
50 II was with the American people
when their character and intelligence
vas lnsulted by Secretary .Alger and his
nuderl!ngs by withholding the facts and
truth 10 regard to operations in the
Philippines for 4 long time. Alger's
action, however, was taken under a more
despicable motive, purely political, as
Otls used to say: "Send nothing that
will hurt the administration at Wash
ington." Lord Wolseley's object in
withholding the truth appears to have
been q kindly motive, to soften The
poignancy Of defeat; Ayers was purely
political, partisan, despicable. The
American people are enlightened, reas-
oning and jealous Of their rights and
liberties and can be safely trusted to do
the right thing in any emergency how
ever trying or disastrous and 1t was
precisely this that the Washington ad-
ministratian feared when it was doing
its crooked work with the Filipinos in
the early stages Of negotiations and the
war. The administration feared that il
the people knew the real facts they
would rise up and demand that the
ubiquitous system Of imperialism which
was then designed would be stopped
before it was fastened upon the people
to the extent it nov has been and was
intended to be, before the people should
learn OF it. Though the people Of this
country have succeeded in removing the
censorship Of government news it has
come too late to be OF much good, and
was not az successful rs the prompt
action OF the English people.

The report Of the commissioner OF the

congress shows that there has been title
granted to South dakota on lands for
educational purposes to the extent OF
nearly nine million acres the past year.
The surveyor general Of South Dakota.
whose report accompanies that Of the
commissioners, asks for $500 for con-
tinuing surveys during the fiscal year
1901. He says:
IAN effort 70 arrive at u proper
amount for this item has caused delay
in the submission OF this estimate

only partially informed as to the extent
Of the regular surveys made under the
direction OF the geological office during
the year Just closing. With the excep-
ton OF q few outlaying townships, the
portions of the public lands within this
state which are not surveyed at this date
are chiefly contiguous or near to the
Black Hills forest reserve. While much
OF these lands is more valuable for min
ing than for agriculture, there are per-
hsps none Of the townships which do not
contain considerable bodies of land
valuable chiefly for the latter purpose,
and used for such purpose only. Some
OF these lands are occupied by settlers,
and inquiry shows that a number Of
these desire surveys so that they may

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-10-07

The St. Adams Messenger, one OF the
best newspapers in the state, thinks ii
will be better for the STATE when there
is less talk of politics and more alter
ton paid to substantial interests. True,
there is not as much attention given. by
the press or people, to the discussion of
questions pertaining to the welfare of
Vermont as there should be, but the dis
cussion of political matters is not an I'M
mitigatcd evil. The great fault of the
people is that they do not take interest
enough in state politics. If more inter.
est could be aroused among the people
we should elect better men to office,
and get better results from the taxes
that are paid. The only way to get better
results aud elect better men to office, is
for the papers to begin ear y and dis
cuss intclligently the questions, and the
qualifications of the different candidates
for the various offices. No man fit for
W flee vii be injured by having the
full light of publicity turned on him,
and any man or measure that cannot
stand this test is Ipt wanted.
