The Upheaval In the Senate.

Critics of the United States Senate as
a body of ever-increasing iDferiority and
triviality in debate and reason are soon
to have their theory vindicated for a
moment in manner most surprising.
The opponents of the treaty are about
to maintain the ridiculous proposition
that this country cannot lawfully &C.
quire territory after the manner of
other nations; that its sovereignty is
the slave of geography, regardless of
the desires of Congress. IL is like de-
claring to living man before you that
he is dead. But ali the same the rati-
tication of the treaty of peace with
SPAN and all public interests depend
ent thereon will wait while the sena-
torial advocates of American inability
present their arguments.
Confronted as we are with such
prospect, we do not mean for NONE Mt
to be understood as accepting the shall
low Mugwump estimate of the Senate.
The orators of anti-eXpansion are mostly
men of distinction. Their virtual lead
err, the Hon. George Frisbie Hoar of
Massachusetts, is one of the most emf
nent and accomplished representatives
of any state for generations. None the
less, the view of Anne lean sovereignty
which they feel constrained to adval ce
as desperate means of checking a
policy they disapprove is in its very
nature an absurdity, and their speeches,
however eloquent and sober, will be in
essence further removed from INTEL
lectual scundness and public wisdom
than the widest blasts of the disor-
dered fancies classified as populistic.
The raising of the flag over the Phil
ippines has reused the people of the
United States suddenly to conscious
ness that their duty to themselves de-
mands the assertion of their power in
relation to the rest of the world. An
event 30 momentous naturally collects
in opposition mighty force OF dormant
prejudices, newly created fears and par.
tisan strategy. All must be exposed
and exhausted before peace and our
disputed right of national sovereignty
can be formally determined in our
favor. Let the public attend respect
fully while the process is On.-New
York Sun.

OF careful attention throughout his speech
by every Senator at the Capitol. He did
not enter upon the discussion OF the policy
OF expansion. as sucb, except In an indirect
manner. His address was an argument In
answer to the speech recently delivered by
Mr.. Plstt OF Connecticut. He took the
ground that the United 8 ates government
possesses no constitutional right to acquire
foreign territory and govern the people
thereof; and that this country has no right
to govern people without their consent in
any event.
The House reversed the decision of the
committee OF the whole last Friday when
the appropriation for the support of the
civil service commission was stricken out of
the legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill. In committee where men,
Ders do not go on record, the. appropriation
was stricken out by a vote OF sixty seven to
sixty.one. Monday when the roll was
called the appropriation was restored, the
the motion TO strike out being defeated
ninety.hve to one hundred and nineteen.
The House by special order decided to pro-
coed with the consideration of the naval

TUESDAY, January 10.-At the opening of
the Senate Mr.. Chandler introduced the
Senate resolution for the distribution OF APP

OF the resolution was the same as that now

therefore asked that the present resolution
be placed on the calendar, stating that

spent the entire day in considering the bill
for modifying the criminal laws Of Alaska.

storekeeper and farmer, early success
full according to his moderate ambitions,
he had reached middle life before en-
teriDg into politics. His first term in
the House Of Representatives showed
his capability of dealing with business
questions. III passing from the Wing
10 the Republican party, he followed
the general impulse of his State, and
thenceforward his career was assured.
To the older generation Mr.. Morril's
name was best Known, as it will be
known in American histories, through
the Morrill, rariff, which established that
economic policy the results Of which
have been so fruitful. His long service
in the Senate gave him an influence
which, perhaps, was sometimes dispro-
portionate to his talents, but was always
in accordance with his character and
his experience, Because of his "mon-
umental pomp of age" he was listened
to with respect even when, as of late in
regard to expansion, he did not repre-
sent the sentiment of Vermont or of
the Republican party. He had opposed
annexation be ore, and Hawaii aud the
Philippines were no more unwelcome
to him than Alaska had been. With
the virtues he had some of the defects
of New England, a conservatism that at
times might be called narrowness. But
his was public service always stainless

the object of the regard OF all without
the luminosity of any, surely as enviable
a place as public man can reach

garding his political affiliations led a repre-
sentative OF the WATcHMAN during the past
week to interview members OF the Dewey
family on this subject. Hon. Charles
Dewey when questioned in regard to the
Admral's politics said that he had never
voted since he entered the navy in 1854,
that he has not been where he could vote,
that his legal residence is in Montpelier aud
he would have voted here II anywhere.
Mr.. Dewey said he had always considered
his brother a Republican. although not a
politlcian In any sense OF the word. He
showed the reporter newspaper interview
with George Dewey in San Francisco thirty
years ago, on the question of his politics, in
which the Admiral said: 81 am q Republi-
can. came OF old Vermont stock. rooted
deep in the soil that faces the rugged slopes
Of the Green Mountains, but you know We
navy officers are not inclined to discuss par
tisan questions aboard ship" Mr.. Dewey
said he knew of no reason why his brother
should have changed his politics since that
time. Other members OF the Dewey family
expressed substantially the same opinion.
Several boyhood friends OF Admiral Dewey
were seen but they declined to express an
opinion for publication. So many years
have elapsed since Admiral Dewey was at
Montpelier that his politics are known to
them only by common report.
A meeting OF the committees appointed at
recent meeting OF the board of trade was
held last evening in the Office of Mayor
Senter The committee appointed to inves-
tigate the possible removal of the Stevens
Arms and Tool Company from Chicopee
Falls, Mass, to this city was instructed to
correspond further with the manager of
that concern regarding the matter. 1t is
not thought probable that the firm will be
induced to move it's plant to Montpelier.
Several members of the committee on the
lad River Valley electric railroad were
absent and that committee will meet this
afternoon at three o'clock at the Montpelier
Savings bank. The committee appointed
on granite industries and building new
granite sheds was not prepared to report
as q. IL. Moore, member of that commit
tee, is out OF town.
DESPITE the severe weather there was

evening in Bethany chapel to organize

without their consent, mere chattels, to
be disposed of as the sovereign power

be sure, he hates money making, with
the possible exception of an occasional

tuals but these general reasons seemed
insufficient for this 30 particular sorrow.
The reason has been disclosed. 1t is
remorse.
For the sake of truth, the So. Louis
Globe Democrat has pried into the past.
In 1861 Mr.. Vest was member OF the
Missouri Legislature. February 26 of
that year he introduced bill TO punish
with death "any one who by writing,
speaking, printing or engraving, in
cited slave to be insuboroinate to his
master. Aiding slave to escape was
to be punished, for the first offence, by
ten years in the penitentiary, and by
being branded in the palm of the right
hand with the figure of cross." The
second offence was to be punished with
death.
To secure an impartial jury, Mr..
Vest proposed that nobody should
serve as juror in such cases who had
any conscientious scruples as 10 slavery
or any doubts as 10 it's legality.
Anxious that the unconsenting gov
erned should, if refractory, carry about
with them a lasting memorial of gov
eminent, Mr.. Vest put into his bill a
provision that the branding should be
other proper officer, "with hot iron,
in such manner that the brand shall be
lasting and indelible."
After thirty.seven yasrs the soaring

Mr.. Vests memory. His bill was too
tough to be reported by the committee
to which il was referred, but the brand.

greater punishments upon vassal peo'

The New York Sun.

AS newspaper, and as an exponent
of what ought to be public opinion, and
what has become the dominant Ameri-
can public opinion, during year of
signal events in the history of these
United States, the New York Sun has
not only maintained it's lead of all other
newspapers, but has largely increas ed
that lead. No other paper published
30 full, graphic and Trustworthy ac-
counts of the developing events of the
conflict with Spain, or, when the war
was on, of the movements of the naval
and military forces and battles on sea
and land. With that insight into the
trend Of events, amounting almost to
provision, and that prOmptness and de-
cision that marked its political course
In 1896, when the Chicago convention
hoist d the banner OF populism, the Sun
read and proclaimed the future when
news of that May day event in Manila
bay first dropped from the cables end in
this country. 1t announced instantly
that line of national policy, and became
its first and most strenuous advocate,
in respect of the Philippines, which
was later embodied in the treaty ne
gotiated at Paris. Beyond question or
doubt the Suns strong and resolute
advocacy had very much to do with the

their enthusiasm.
The House was engaged all day on the
executive and legislative bill and completed
10 substantially ~ reported, except the
items for the civil service commission,
which went over until Monday. There
were several side debates during the day.
One of these brought ont Mr.. Grosvenor Of
Ohio in a speech OF an hour on current po-
litical questions. The Philippines also
came in for attention, in the discussion of
an item OF $4,000, for naval chart of the
islands. The Item was ruled out on point
of order by Mr.. Dockery OF Missouri, the
chairman, Mr.. Payne of New York holding
that that the Philippines were still foreign
territory, and az such not the proper sub
ject Of the legislation proposed.
MONDAY, Jan. 9.-The feature OF the Sem
ate proceedings was the anti-sxpansion
speech made by Senator Hoar OF Massa-
chusetts. The galleries were crowded, and
more than usual interest was manifested in
Mr. Hoar's utterances. Quite naturally his
declaration OF purpose to oppose the ratif-
cation OF the peace treaty created profound
sensation. His previous statements served
to intensity the interest in his utterance
He was accorded the unusual compliment

THE full text of the treaty of peace is
published. The treaty is now before
the Senate and the debate on its ratifi-
cation begins this week. Interest in
this document had long ago been dis
counted, and publication adds nothing
of material interest to the knowledge
the world previously had of the terms
of the treaty. In the discussions on the
subject it had been made to appear that
the United States would hold the Phil
ippines under title somewhat different
from that under which che would take
possession of Porto Rico. The lam
guage of transfer is, however, the same
in both. In one case "Spain cedes to
the United States the island of Porto
