Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-12-02

Commissioner Prouty writes the ed
itor of the Randolph Herald that he
is thoroughly in favor of the policy of
the administration as far as developed,
in the Philippines Islands. He says:
cat that time the Spanish treaty
was under consideration by the Sem
ate. | took the ground that no other
treaty could have properly been made
and that it should be promptly rati-
tied. 1t was ratified and the United
States thereby came into possession of
the Philippine Islands. The insur-
rection now existing there is without
our fault and against our lawful au-
thority, and should be put down in
the speediest and most summary man
ner Upon that proposition ! have
never entertained the slightest doubt.
The first thing to do is to end the war"
What is the best course to be pur-
sued when the rebellion is crushed out
and peace is restored is another ques-
ton. On this matter he stands where
he did when he made the famous
Brooklyn speech, which he summar-
ICES as follows:
First. The honor and dignity of
this nation should be maintained at
any cost: but let it ever be remem-
bered that the true honor of a nation
like that of an individual, lies in right
not might.
Second. Those people should be ac-
corded the largest measure of self
government of which they are capable.
| wish they were capable of entire
self-government, but | expect they
are not. Ii not, we must exercise
in some measure that function over
them.
Third. The United States should
not voluntarily and unnecessarily en-
ter upon any career which will in
volve it's participation in the eastern
question. | feel certain that the per-
manent greatness, glory and honor of
this nation are better subServed by
holding entirely aloof, for the present
at least, from the political entangle-
ments of the old world. We need pay
no such price to secure and retain the
markets which our commercial devel-
Opment requires. Before imposing
upon ourselves a permanent burden of
taxation we should inquire what is to
be gained by it.
Mr.. Prouty has made his position
clear to the people. There is no ques-
ton how Gen. Grout and Senator
Ross stand on this great question.
But where does Gov. Dillingham;
stand? What are his views? AS a
candidate for the senate the people
have a right to ask him to define his
position.

Always Doing Something Good.

Not content with monopolzing the
intellect of New England with it's edl-

will find smile. You don't have to

RELIGION NOT DECLINING.

The Burlington Free Press gives
further evidence that religion is not
declining in Vermont. 1t says that

reliable data of an entirely secular
character" Let's see. Those who
argued that pastorless and abandoned
churches were on the increase in this

as common sellers and nuisance keep

his hackers are The center of a wide

Benevolent Players Club.


take pleasure in announcing to the
people of Kinsley the organization OF
a dramatic club called ''The Benevo-
lent Players Club" AS the name i'm
plies, the society has double object:
First, to aid by donation of all pro-
ceeds above expenses, worthy public
institutions of Kinsley, and, secondly.
to give the pleasure and profit which
always come from good, clean plays
we'll acted.
Our first public performance will be
given Tuesday, July Is, at Flohr's
opera house, when Sydney Grundy,s
funny comedy, ''The SNOWFALL" will
be presented, The net proceeds are to
be divided equally between the public
school and the Christian Edeavor Ii
braries. We wish to do our share in
the work going on all the time of max
ing Kinsley a good place to live in,
and are satisfied that we can aid it in
no better way than by helping the pub
lie libraries, which are important in
stitutiOns, influencing, as they do, so
powerfully the Younger. people of every
community.
There is no place of it's size in the
west that has better dramatic talent
than .Kinsley, and the best selection
possible possible has been made in
casting the characters for our first
piece. Mrs. Fred Dumont Smith, who
has proved by her many delightful
performances in our public entertain
ments her unusual ability as an act
ress, will play the leading woman's
part. That her work will be better
than we'll done no one can doubt: In
his few months stay in Kinsley Mr..
Charles Noble has won a warm place
in all of our affections. His "Prof.
Blinkensop," with the grind-over ma
machine, in '.Tle Old Maids Conven
tion," will not soon be forgotten, nei-
iher will his ''Uncle john" in ''The
SNOWFALL IN fact, all of the charac-
tiers will be we'll played, and we feel
certain that our entertainment will not
fall below our towns usual high stan
'dard, -
If those who enjoy good plays and
those who have the interest of our
public libraries at heart turn out to
the performance. the Benevolent Play
ers' Club wi: feel encouraged to ga
on doing what it can for the common
good. CHARLES r. EDWARDS, !.
