Another quotation and then few
words will close this article. The
next quotation will illustrate how Mr.
Grout reads history, how warmly he
responds to the theme Of country. II
is from his speech on the reception OF
the statues of General Stark and Dan
iel Webster TO the Statuary hall Of the
L. ). Capitol memorable occasion.
New Hampshire is fortunate in the
selection of characters Tor Statuary
hall. Stark and Webster are great
names in the Granite state, great
throughout the country, and great
with all English-speaking peoples.
Vermont congratulates New Hamp-
shire and welcomes these her sons in
commemorative marble TO the com
panionship Of the great in marble and
bronze from other states. The hero of
Ticonderoga from Vermont welcomes
the hero of Bennington from New
Hampshire. There let them stand,
typical soldiers of typical states, con-
temporaries in life and in the sculp-
mred renown Of death. The eminent
lawyer, jurist and statesman, Jacob
Collamer. who came nearer making
good the place Of Webster in the SEN
ate than any other man of his time,
now welcomes that great lawyer, ora
tor and statesman TO this silent, illus
trious assemblage.
vermont will always welcome
these men: they belong together.
Stark was with her in war and Web
ster counseled her in peace his words
still ringing from the summit Of the
Green mountains. where. standing
beside a log cabin in 1870, near the
place where Stark crossed on his way
TO Bennington. he spoke, making clear
then, as always, the points OF politi-
cal faith in which Vermont Is As stead
fast as her heavenly neighbor, the
North star, and her light equally con-
slant.
Yes, Vermont, in common with all
the states of this now glorious
Union. welcomes the return OF Dan
iel Webster TO the Capitol, and there
in Wonder hall let him forever stand
amid the undying echoes Of those
weichty words which have not only
made his name immortal, but which
have been burnt into the very hearts
of the American people by the fires Of
civil war-'Liberty and Union, now
and forever. one and inseparable.
William Wallace Grout has shown
himself every inch a man. a middle

Vermonter should be proud Of him.

Mr.. Brown said that under the evil
dence he could not ask for commit
ment for murder, but would ask for
one for manslaughter in the first de-
gree. He followed the evidence and
attempted to show that Captain Sper,-
Ger tried to starve the men into SUB
mission. He said it would have been
inhuman to cut OF food, even il they
did refuse to work, being on a barren
island as they were. The questions of
fact involved in the case. the high
sheriff contended, should be passed no

peers ought to say whether he was
justified in the shooting.

It is our purpose to establish in the
Philippines a government suitable to
the wants and conditions of the inhabi-
tants and to prepare them for self
government and to give them self-gov-
eminent when they are ready for Il,
and as rapidly as they are ready for
it. That am aiming to do under my
constitutional authority and will con-
tinue to do until congress shall deter
mine the political status of the inhabi-
tants of the archipelago.
Would our opponents surrender to
the insurgents. abandon our sovereign
ity or cede it to them?
The effect of a belief in the minds
OF the insurgents that this will be done
has already prolonged their rebellion
and increases the necessity for the con-
tinuance Of a large army. is now de-
laying the establishment OF peace and
civil government in the islands and has
influenced many OF the insurgents
against accepting the liberal terms #
amnesty offered by Gerenal Macarthur
under my direction. But for these
false hopes considerable reduction
could have been had in our military
establishment in the Philippines and
realization Of stable government
would be already at hand
The American people will not make
the murderers OF our soldiers the
agents of the republic to convey the
blessings Of liberty and order in the
Philippines They will not make them
the builders of the new common
wealth. Such course would be be-
trayal OF our sacred obligations to the
peaceful Filipinos and would place a.
the mercy Of dangerous adventures
the lives and property of the natives
and foreigners
No government can so certainly pre-
serve the peace. restore the public or
der and establish law, justice and
stable conditions as ours.

guarantee another sovereignty. Our

were rushing on us to war with Spain
who are now unwilling to accept its
