Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-08-17

In regard to the situation relating
to the prize trophy which was with
held from Company e, the boys, al
though naturally disappointed, have
become reconciled to the situation
and they realize that they have no
cause for complaint against Colonel
Estey. The substance of the whole
matter is that the regulations forbid
the use of substitute in shooting for
the cup. This has never been
observed however by any company
and this year was no exception. Every
company in the regiment violated
this rule and Co. M, of Burlington,
was more corrupt than any other.
When the contest was over Barre had
the highest average and would have
received the trophy had not Co. M
entered protest that they had used
substitute. Investigation establish
ed their claim and in consequence
thereof the cup was withheld.
The feeling Of the whole 1st Bat
TALON is very bitter against the Bur.
lugton Company and the latter is the
laughing stock of the whole camp.
The undue praise accorded them by
the Free Press is largely responsible
for this but the "penny aristocracy"
attitude of the Burlington men has
in itself been sufficient to create the
sentiment of disgust which the rest
of the regiment entertains toward
them.
The Camp will be broken tomorrow
and Co. E will leave for home at IL
O'Clock a. m.
What will be the future of Com
pany Il no one can say, but there will
probably be some startling develop
ments after they return home.
The tents that have been used by
the officers this year are the round
Sibley tents, while the privates used
the wall tents. This is to be reversed
next year and l6 men will occupy
each Sibley tent.
Last evening the annual meeting Of
the Military Order of Foreign Wars
of the U. S. Vermont Commandery
was held and the following officers
were elected: Commander @. d.
Clark; vice commander, J. G, Estey;
secretary, A. G. Eaton; treasurer, 4.
II. Prouty; chaplain, G. M. Bonett,
registrar, E. r. Woodward Judge
advocate, J. II. Mimms: commander
general of Vermont, +. l.. Green.
One of the features of this muster
has been the splendid band concerts
that have been given by the Mont
pelier Military band.

Especial to TELEGRAM)

Camp Gov. Smith, Aug. 1.-THE
most impressive military spectacle
ever presented by the National Guard
of Vermont in muster assembled has
been that shown by the regiment this
year. This was brought more plainly
into evidence yesterday than at any
previous day of the present muster
when the guard attired in serviceable
campaign hats, blue shirts and trou-
sers passed in review before Governor
E. c. Smith and his staff at 2.30 in
the afternoon. Their appearance was
one to send thrill of pride through
the veins of every Vermonter who
watched them pass over the parade
grounds and the boys of Company E
acquitted themselves most admira-
bly,.
After the parade the regiment was
formed in a hollow square and the
Governor presented to each veteran
the badge to which he was entitled
according to his term of service.
The guardsmen thus honored were:

Bryan is the prophet of evil. The
fact that all his prophecies prove
false does not seem to discourage
him. In one of his 1896 speeches he
said:
IF Mckinley and the Republican
party are successful and put in power
Tor the next four years wages will be
decreased, hard times viii come upon
US, aud over the land the price Of
wheat will go down and the price Of
gold will go up; mortgages on our
homes will be foreclosed by the
money lenders, shops and factories
will close. We will export no goods
and we viii import from foreign
lands all the goods we use; thus Will
ruin, want and misery be with US. =
Not content with the ruin which
he predicted in 1896 and the fact that
his prediction was false, he cow goes
one step further and predicts the
complete overthrow and ruin of the
Republic in the following words:
To-day we are engaged in a con
troversy which will determine
whether we are to have a republic in
which the government derives its
just powers from the consent of the
governed, or an empire in which
brute force is the only recognized
source of power. When such an issue
is raised there can be only two par
ties-the party, whatever its name
may be, which believes in republic,
and party, whatever its name,
which believes in an empire.
What Edgar A. Poe said of his
ghostly Raven applies aptly to this
modern prophet of evil:
what it utters
Is its only stock and store
Caught from some unhappy master
Whom unmercIful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster
Til his songs one burden bore
Till the dirges of his hope thst
Melancholy burden pore"
