The En9lisy Soldier.
Criticisms made By the Continental
Press.

Among the more friendly of the crit
les of the British Army who are just
now taking notes of it's imperfecLions
and better qualities, is the Deutsche
Heeres-Zietung.
While sternly criticising and making
the most of the mistakes committed in
South Africa, it has high praise for the
British regimental officers for the cour-
age and intrepidity with which they
are leading their men. Where errors
have been made, it holds they have
been with those highly placed, who
have seemed to believe that their new
adversary was half barbarian, where
as he is highly trained soldier and
efficient in the use of modern weapons.
The Deutsche Zietung praises the rank
and file and draws attention to the
marches made under trying conditions,
in burning heat, often without suffi-
cient water, followed by bivouacking
in the open on cold and sometimes
rainy nights.
The Nouvelle Review treats the SUBJ
ject of it's criticism from a different
point of view in a discussion by NJ.
Michel Defines on paper by Mr..
Vassilevski, apparently Russian.
This gentleman had been visiting the
barracks of the Household Cavalry in
London, the comfort of which sur
prised him, especially the excellence of
the table service, with its ale and va
rious sauces, and the electric lighting.
These. however, 1t may be remarked,
are not found in the quarters of the
more humble Tommy Atkins. Mr..
Vassilevski was much struck by the
tall, we'll set-up figures of the men
who were engaged in outdoor exercise.
Their twisted moustaches. we'll dressed
hair and chins impeccably shaven, and
their boots polished to such degree
las to throw into ecstasy the whole
world of bootmakers," proved to him
clearly that these men were of the elite
and the darlings of the nursemaids in
the park.
This picture of the private soldier of
the aristOcratic corps of the British
Army is matched by one more imagin-
alive still of the officer. According to
this writer the British officer Is the lion
of the drawing room and the hero of
the divorce court. He Is perverted,
capricious, and blase, reader of
French novels, and frequenter of
music halls. He dwells in palace,
has negro for a groom and French
man for his chef. He enters the army
that he may wear uniform and 1.-Two at
military club, but he cares nothing
for his profession and has no interest
in the service. Such is the British
officer as seen by M. Vassilevski and
appreciated by M. Defines.
The Independence Roumaine of Blu
charest sees the subjects of it's criti-
cism from again different point of
view. In general way it has fair
ly good opinion Of the British soldiers,
but cannot help remarking that they
are of a low class, and marked with the
gross and brutal character which ia

Chicago. March 4.-Representative

day in pursuance of plan to bring the
various American Universities into
closer relation with each other. A
motion of DR.. Conaty, rector of the
Catholic University of America, that
vote of thanks be rendered the Uni
versity of California for taking the
initiative in bringing about the con-
ference which has resulted in a per-
manent organization, brought forth re-
marks most complimentary to the Uni
versity of California. President Har-
per of the University of Chicago said
this was the most complete movement
that had taken place in higher educa-
tion in this country for the last fifty
years.

AT BOULDER.

Boulder, Oct. 26.-The electors of this
city were addressed last night by Hons.
S. G.. Murray, w. C. Arnold and Frank
E. Smith, all of whom proved to be in
teresting and instructive speakers. The
hall was crowded, among those present
being a number of leading democrats of
the community, who appeared to be
much impressed by the arguments ad-
vanced in behalf of prosperity.
Congressman Arnold of Pennsylvania,
the first speaker. furnished statistics
showing the demoraliZed financial n
industrial condition of the country dur
ing the reign of the Stuffed Prophet
Grover Cleveland and compared it with
that under the present administration.
He called. attention to the fact that
whenever the democrats secure control
of the reins of government everything
seems to go wrong. He didn't know
whether it was because it didn't UNDER
stand hat the country needs. The in
crease in wages has been about fifteen
per cent since the year 1896.
Hon. S. G. Murray declared hat while
trusts form n of the democratic trinity
of bugaboos the report of the United
States department of labor for July, 1900,
show a greater number or persons en-
ployed and higher wages paid in the
majority of commercial establishments
when they became members of a trust
than previously. He did not wish to be
understood as speaking in favor of trusts
at all; he wished the people to under
stand that the democrats are using So
phistical arguments in favor of the po-
sition they have taken. That trusts in
some cases are bad he did not deny, but
he claimed that it was no fault of the
republican party but of conditions. The
democratic leaders knew that; they a
had considerable experience in that line
themselves.
The speaker made some v~itriolic COM
ments on the corruption and bribery
which have disgraced the state and men,
toned the fact that the present enroll
ment in the republican clubs of the state
proves that many democrats are too de-
cent and honest to remain with the party
any longer. He made some humorous
and edifying comments on democratic
vindication methods and particularly
with regard to vaudeville shows.
Hon. Frank E. Smith spoke on both ma
tional and local issues. He showed the
contemplate character of Aguinaldo,
the Malay Chinaman'' whom the demo-
Gratis are picturing as one of the great
est men of modern. times-a being who
will not even stick to his contract after
taking a bride, a h~eathenish, bloodthirsty
brute-and asked his hearers if that is
the kind of man they desire to see at the
head of government in the Philippines.
No. no. came the answering shout.
well, them" said the speaker, ''you
would better vote for the republican
party"
The meeting closed with huzzas for the
republican party and it's candidates.

he molested; as long as the bad trusts
tried to interfere with the rights of the
people the republican party would be
the champion of the people. Trusts are
h~ere-nobody can deny it-but how the
democrats can make it ar issue is a
mystery, for their leaders head some of
the biggest trusts in the country. ~
Mr.. Conner called attention to the
lamentable condition of governmental
affairs in the state as the result of demo-
cratic misrule and corruption and de-
clared that the time has come when
politics must be thrown aside in Mon
tana and a fight made all along the line
for decency and reform. Bribery and
corruption are good enough things in
their way, but their way is the path
way to hades and not this fair state.'

paign by Hon. G. w. Potter of New York
and Mr.. Fuller Of Ohio last Saturday
evening, the republicans of this section
of Jefferson county feel much en-
c%ouraged, and Whitehall will undoubt-
eddy roll up a big majority for the re-
publican candidates. Whitehall has felt
the effects of and received the benefits
from the wise administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and the majority of the
voters of this section express their un-
qualified approval of his administration
of national affairs during the past four
yers. The democratic squabble in state
politics has so disguised the voters of
this locality that they openly express
their intentions of voting the straight
republican ticket.

WORKS OF ART.
Mrs. Hopson Has a Splendid Exhibit
in the Hennessy Store.

During the last two weeks hundreds of
visitors have been attracted to Mrs. G.
A. Hopson's art exhibit on the second
floor of the Hennessy store, and those
who ave seen the water color. oil and
burnt-wood work there have been very
favorably impressed with the skill Of the

has e~licitied favorable comment from ar
lists Of wide reputation. Her speciality
is oil painting. and she has received

ArbOr Day.

Governor Smith names Friday, May
4, to be observed as Arbor Day. Its
purpose is commendable. The regret
table thing in the matter is the lack of
public interest in the day, the absence
of such interest on the part of the State
itself as should insure the successful
observance of Arbor Day through
proper and adequate Encouragement
Such preparation should cover matters
that pertain to practical tree planting,
with such exercises as should give
eclat to the occasion. Without special
instructions in the work and carefully
matured program, there can be no
justification of the institution. Its BEN
efts will not compensate for the cost of
printing and distributing the Governors
proclamation.
A few trees wrenched from the
soil by inexperienced hands, and
deposited in haphazard way in hole
il the ground, and thereafter left to
perish or struggle for scantyj exis-
tence, is not an edifying or profitable
operation. 1t is butchery, not the
skilled surgery of intelligent and sue
cessful tree planting. Without this in
telligent preparation and proper pre-
arrangement, the day would be more
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance. The proper removal of a
tree from the earth for transplanting ia

ment in the earth is equally matter

REPRESENTATIVE ESTABLISH.
MENT

The dry goo is business OF Homer Fits
Is one OF the representative establishments
which have grown up with the Granite
City" and Mr.. Fits name is familiar one
in every household for miles around. MIR.
Fits established business in 1888 in the
Wood block under the firm name of Morri-
son q Fits. In 1886 he purchased Mr.
Morrison's interest and has boon sole pro-
prietor since that date.
About year and a half ago he moved his
bushes to one of the commodious stores in
the Miles Granite block which is elegantly
fitted up with electric lights, the Lsmson
cash carrier system and every modern i'm
provement and convenience for handling
and displaying the large stock of goods
kept constantly on hand. Without ques-
tion this is one of the incest and best APP
pointed stores in the State and the large
increase of trade ut the new stand is very
gratifying to Mr.. Fits. The large plate
| windows in which are artistically displayed
the latest styles of the various departments
| are attractions of merit.
AT the right of the entrance is displayed
everything in the line of "up.to.date" dress
| goods. Farther down the line on the right
is the garment department with room es-
pecially for fitting. Mr.. Fits makes spe-
cial feature OF ladies' tailored suits and car
| res the largest stock in central Vermont.
In this particular line he is the acknowl-
edged leader. The style and great variety
| OF ladies' wrappers carried accounts for the
large sales in this department.
On the left of entrance in show cases OF
the latest design is shown a fine line Of
fancy goods and notions. A large stock oil
prints, sheetings, outing flannel, ETC., are
also shown on the left, while on counter
in the center OF the store is grand display
of silk waists, shirt waists and children't
apparel, including underwear and cotton
wash dresses.
The carpet department, conducted in 8
large room which seems as an annex to thu
main store, is being closed out to give room
for specialties i'll dry goods to meet the de
mands OF the increasing business. Jus
now, however, there is an opportunity TO

tree shall live. A common fault is the
trees chosen for transplantiug are too
large. A small tree, no higher than a
mans head, one that can be easily dug
up with its roofs practically intact, is
most apt to live aud thrive. Trees for
shade or similar purposes should be no
larger at the time of transplauting than
are fruit trees. If carefully planted,
these will continue their growth with
little abatement, even in the first year,
and will attain to treehood much SOON
er than the larger subjects so general
ly selected. Trim off the lower branches
but never cut off the top. That is an
act of barbarism. There would be as
much sense in looping off the members
of child to insure it's growth as in the
mutilation generally practiced on
transplanted trees. Seedlings of elms or
naples, spriuging up in the garden, left
till the third season and then trans
planted, in a few years have grown
to trees from twenty TO thirty feet in
height. Good subjects for transplant
ing can generally be found along the
fence rows or in the fence corners.
They are vigorous, with good root
areas, and are much to be preferred to
trees taken from the forest.
Bnt Arbor Day, properly consid-
cred, is a means to an end, and the
end is not solely the planting OF a few
trees in the school house grounds, the
public streets and squares, or along the
highways. 1t has a larger and an
economic purpose in the reforesting
of the waste lands of the State, the
sandy barrens and rocky swales and
ridges which have become worthless
for pasturage or for any other
use. Arbor day may be one particular
day for public observances, to awaken
and sustain general interest, but the
practical arbor period will continue
from spring time till autumn. Its
active work will be done in the spring
time, bnt its subsequent labors and
cares will abide through the seasons.
Its details require study, preparation,
system, organization and capital. This
is work in which the State must lead
