Concerning PAngbOrn's Exploit.

u * Pangborn has been reviving his
ancient fame by sssociating his name with
that of Admiral Dewey as the dominic of
the hero OF Manila when the latter was
school boy al Montpelier. OF the report of
Mr.. PangbOrn's remarks, telling how he
once logged the future admiral, before the
Society OF the Sons of Vermont, in Boston,
last week as given by the Boston EUeninq
Record, Carlos L. Smith of this city says:
The Evening Record quotes Mr.. Pang-
born az saying, The story has never been
told correctly before Well, 1 was there
that day, though not in the same room with
Dewey, but under it, so we could hear any
noise of scuffle. This is the first time /
have ever heard Of the hair raising, blood
curdling, hand to hand encounter that Mr..
Pangborn relates. He says this was in
1849. AS Dewey was born in 1888, he
dewey must have been at that time OF the
ripe and mature age of eleven years when
Mr.. Pangborn so nobly routed according to
his story the enemy. 1 well remember
seeing George Dewey walking down East
ern Avenue that day, resting the hand that
Pangborn had broken in whipping him, on
the arm OF friend, and as Pangb born passed
on the other side he hurled defiance at him.
L have talked with two friends who were
at school that day and they both say it's
the first time they ever heard OF the fight
Pangborn speaks of. Dewey was called
out onto the floor and Psngborn whipped
him with rawhide, or some kind of round
leather. Some said he had piece of lead
sewed into the end of the implement, but
this always doubted. At any rate, what.
ever it was the implement broke Dewey's
hand. BY all the scholars it was called a
most unjust and uncalled for piece of bar
bality. and far from a thing to boast Of L
have talked with two men (boys them who
were there that day, and both concur in my
opinion as above expressed.
It's poor story that won't grow any in
twenty years. Perhaps Pangborn thinks
fifty years ought to increase tale to con-
siderable proportions and that his should
be no exception, especially when the sub
ject AS become famous Think of a man
covering himself with deathless fame by
whaling the life out Of an eleven-y ear-old
kid"
The school house in which Pangborn
achieved fame only second to that of
Dewey's was the brick building on Court
street, opposite Adams stables, to the right
OF the road leading up to the Catholic
school.

Cuba Again.

According to the order OF nature, men
being eqnal, their common vocation is the
cause OF humanity"
II this be true, how could the United
States refuse, as a Christian Nation, to give
aid 70 helpless people? The old Bay State
the very cradle OF liberty, our Nations
birthplace has she forgotten that ere we as
a Nation, could draw the first breath of lib
erty in our infantile helplessness and OPP
preston, another Nation gave us aid? And
now, in our prosperity and abundance, can
we refuse TO help others? We may forget
but God neUer forgets.
The patriotic, pathetic words OF Senator
Proctor will be written in letters of shining
gold on the tablets Of the hearts of the peo-
pie OF our Green Mountain State, in the
years to come. The dying request of Sem
ator Thurston's wife in Cuba, to her hus-
band, was that he should lose no time on
account OF her death, to do his utmost to
save Cuba and her people. Her unselfsh
nature, in the dissolution OF the earthly
touched the heavenly, ere her spirit found
its rest. He obeyed her request. She be-
ing dead yet speaketh. We are not unmind-
full of the loss of life, "but greater love hath
no man than this, that he lay down his life
for another" for sit is not all of life to live,
nor all OF death to die" Registered to-day
in the archives of heaven are the illustrious
names Of our dead.
With our new territory, we have greater
responsibilities and trials. Hard problems
to solve, yet we are able. If we expect to
bring those people at once, or in day, to
our own state OF civilization, we shall be
disappointed. 1t will take time and pa
tience. Precept upon precept, and line
upon line. Uncle Samuel has some unruly
children among his own. Here in Carolina
one man takes the life OF another simply
because he was born black. We do not
wonder that this people does not desire the
rule of any Nation, after their bitter expe-
rience with Spain. Some people tell us we
are not capable as a Nation to govern an
other. We hay not be perfect Nation.
Israel OF old was not, but it is fact that
some Nations are better able to govern than
others. Let all Nations learn that they
cannot, with impunity, trample ON and OPP
press the rights Of others. -.

The Hubbub In Samoa.

Samoan neutrality and independence
are guaranteed under the joint agree
ment entered into by Great Britain,
Germany and the United States in 1889.
In August last, King Malietoa died.
The rival claimants TO the succession
were Mataafa and Malietoa Tanus, de-
scendant of former warning sovereign
OF the islands. Chief Justice Cham
bers, of the supreme court of Samoa,
decided in favor of the claims of Malie-
toa, whereupon the followers of Matafa,
egged on, it is reported, by the German
consul, kicked up rnmpus and the
chief justice took refuge on British
warship. The German consul then
broke open the court house, brought in
the president of the municipal council,
also German, and proclaimed him
chief justice. Then the British aud
American consuls interfered, marines
from the English war vessel were land
ed, the German consul expelled and
Cne court reopened' Ihus the matter
stands, awaiting further information.
The Philadelphia, an American war
ship on the Pacific coast, has been or
nered to proceed 10 Samoa for the pro-
lection of American interests. 1t is
expected that Germany will disavow
the acts of her agent at Samoa, if they
have been correctly reported, as they
are clearly in open violation of the pro-
visions of the tripartite agreement, and
that the incident will end in some over
hauling of that instrument in the in
terest of peace, security and concord

can, formerly law partner of Hilary

Congressional Proceedings.

In the House, on Wednesday, the Ha-
waiian cable bill was discussed The bill
authorized the postmaster general to con-
tract with the Pacific cable company of
New York, at the rate OF 100000 per year
for twenty years for the transmission of
government messages from San Francisco
to Honolulu and points on the Japanese
coast, with suitable guarantees from the
company. Mr.. Corliss, Republican, of
Michigan, charged that the gu bsidy granted
by the government in this bill, $4,000, 900 in
total amount, would construct the cable.
The company was gigantic monopoly.
1t had been seeking ubsidies from Congress
for fifteen years. He believed in a govern
ment cable. One of the chief elements of
England's strength, he said, was the fact
that she pushed her own lines Of communi.
cation around the world. Under the direc-
ton OF the war depar ment we were now
engaged in laying two hundred miles of
cable in the Philippines, De Sey had been
obliged az military act to cut the Manila
cable. How much do you suppose we
will have to pay for interrupting cable COM
munication?" he asked. 81 dare not tell
you, the sum is so large but will say that
we were paying during the war $1,000
day in cable tolls" Mr.. Corlss said he
would offer substitute measure for the
construction of government cable to
Hawaii and the Philippines. In the Sen.
ate Mr.. Allison Of Iowa offered an amend
ment TO the Morgan Nicaragua canal bill,
providing that the secretary Of the treas.
ury should issue bonds TO raise money for
building the canal.
There exists wide variety Of opinions
upon the proposition TO increase the stand
ing army. H. has a strong majority of
the Republicans behind it and it comes into
the House with the Endorsement OF the
Presidents message practically as an adj
IninisIration measure. The Democrats and
Popalists are Intensely hostile to the
whole proposition and intend TO fight 1t to
the last ditch. They will have some sup
port from the Republican side. The oppo-

evening at Hotel Vendome, dewey and
Vermont was the dual theme discussed.
Prof, u. X. Pangborn of Jersey City, N j.,
who was once Admiral Dewey's teacher at
Montpelier, was present. He graphically
and humorously told how he once flogged
the hero of Manila. The following letter
from Admiral Dewey was read by the Sec
rotary:

letter OF October 8, 1898, together with the
beautifully engrossed and attested copy of

Shall Montpelier Bond =?

The recent meeting between the
board of trade and the representatives.
of the enterprise brings the matter of
bonding the city to aid in the construc-
ton of the Mad River valley electric
railway formally before the people of
Montpelier. The city will be called
upon to consider, either at special
meeting or at the annual meeting in
March, a proposition to bond the
corporation for the sum of $4,000, for
the enterprise. 1t is not understood
that Montpelier will be expected to
make free gift of this sum, but that
the city is asked to take stock in the
railway in this amount.
Will the proposed railway benefit
Montpelier? Will it benefit the city,
within reasonable length of time, to
the extent of $40,0O09 1t is hardly
necessary to discuss these questions.
The answers belong in the list of self
evident truths. The benefits derived
will be 80 general, will accrue to the
people and property owners in 80 large
a majority of cases, that the corporate
community would be fully justified in
securing them through tax levied on
the grand list, provided the purchase
price is reasonable, within the means
of the people, commensurate with the
advantages to be obtained.
Forty thousand dollars is approx
mately the grand list of the city. A
person owning real estate valued at
81 900, has grand list of $40. and
his tax in aid of this railway would be
$40. Has this taxpayer any doubt that
his property would soon appreciate in
value, as a result of the building of the
Mad River valley electric railway, in
sum much exceeding his tax2 Has a
tradesman any question that increased
profits covering his tax could every
year follow the opening up of direct
communication with the region this
railway will traverse? Is there a man
who pays poll tax who would consid-
er himself oppressed by contribution
of So to this enterprise? These ques-

rass the government and are willing to
provide Tor temporary increase in the
army OF 90 1000 men In accordance with the
provisions OF the substitute bill offered by
the minority Of the committee. Or they are

prevent the creation of permanent in
