election Of United States senators by
direct vote of the people, and we favor
direct legislation wherever practical.
In the interest of American labor
and the uplifting of the workingmen
as the corner stone of the prosperity
of our country, we recommend that
congress create department of labor,
in charge of secretary with a seat in
the cabinet, believing that the eleva-
ton Of the American laborer will bring
with it increased production and in
creased prosperity to our country at
home and our commerce abroad.
We are proud of the courage and
fidelity of the American soldiers and
sailors in all our wars; we favor liberal
pensions to them and their depend
ants.
We favor the immediate construc-
ton, ownership and control of the
Nicaragua canal by the United States,
and we denounce the insincerity of
the plank in the republican platform
for an isthmian canal, in face of the
failure of the republican majority to
pass the bill pending in congress.
We condemn the Hay Paunceforte
treaty as surrender of American
rights and interests not to be tolerated
by the American people.
We denounce the failure of the
republican party to carry out its
pledges to grant statehood to the
territories of Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma, and we promise the
people of those territories immediate
statehood, and home rule during their
condition as territories, and we favor
home rule and territorial form of
government for Alaska and Porto
Rico.
We favor the continuance and strict
enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
law, and its application to the same
classes of all Asiatic races.
Jefferson said: ''Peace, commerce
and honest friendship with III nations;
entangling alliances with none" We
approve this wholesome doctrine, and
earnestly protest against the republi
can departure which has involved US
in so called world politics, including
the diplomacy of Europe and the land
grabbing of Asia, and we especially
condemn the i'll concealed republican
alliance with them which must mean
tions, and which has already stihed
the nations voice, while liberty is
being strangled in Africa.
Believing in the principles of self
government, and rejecting as did our
forefathers, the claim of monarchy,
we view with Indignation the purpose
of England to overWhelm with force
the South, African republics. Speak
ing, as we do. for the entire American
nation, except republican office hold
ers, and for all free men everywhere,
we extend our sympathies to the
heroic burghers in their unequal
struggle TO maintain their liberty and
independence.
We denounce the lavish appropri
alton of recent republican congresses,
which have kept taxes high and which
threaten the perpetuation of the OPP
pressive war levies. We oppose the
accumulation of a surplus to be
ina such barefaced frauds
upon the taxpayers as the shipping
subsidy bill, which, under the false
pretense of prospecting American
would put unearned
millions into the pockets of .favorite
to the republican cam
paign fund.
We favor the reduction and speedy
repeal of the war taxes, and the return
to the time honored democratic policy
of strict economy of government eX
penditures.

Farmers r1eetingS.

About next October some member
of the legislature will begin to har-
angue about the uselessness of the
farmers meetings and of the state
Board of Agriculture. But if the
gentleman from somewhere talks
this way he will deserve little sup
port, for the Board of Agriculture
have proved, as we knew they would,
their efficiency and their readiness to
help the farmer along the lines which
he needs most. Secretary Bell has
arranged for over 40 meetings the
past winter, the last having been
held at Castleton about 10 days ago.
lnterestingpro programmes were printed
and the topics were discussed by
some OF the brightest farmers in the
state as we'll as by many distin-
guished agriculturists from other
states. In the latter class were T. B.
Terry and John Gould of Ohio; Col.
J. H. Brigham, assistant secretary Of
agriculture; Aaron Jones of Indiana,
National Master of the Grange, and
one of the professors from the New
Hampshire State Agricultural Col
lege.
The farmers also had a splendid
opportunity to learn about fish Gull
ture as at many of these meetings
Supt. Titcomb of the National
Hatchery gave his illustrated lecture
on this interesting subject.
We are glad to learn that the at
tendance at these meetings was
larger than in any previous winter
and considering the attractive and
varied programmes which Secretary
Bell prepared this is not to be Won
dered at. The meetings will be con.
tinued next winter and they will be
not only profitable but agreeable in.
terruptions from the monotonv of
the long winter in our rural districts.

Gift to Yale,

AT meeting of the Yale corporation
held Friday, gift was announced of
$3.50, 900 to Yale for the the purpose of
founding a school of forestry. The
donors are Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Pincbot
of New York city and their sons, Clifford
Pinchot, Yale '89, and Amos R. E. Pin.
chot, Yale '98. This school will be a
new department at Yale.
MIR. and Mrs. Pinchot have also given
Yale the use OF a large tract of land in
Pike county, Penn, for practical demon.
stration in forestry during the summer
vacation months of Yale. In other words
this land will be used for a summer
school of the Yale school of forestry,
The use of the land is given for 81 years.
Rev. Burdette Hart of Germantown.
Penn, has handed in his resignation as
member of the corporation. DR.. Hart
graduated from Yale in 1912 and was
elected member of the corporation in
1895. DR.. Harris retirement is due to
the fact that he resides so far away from
Yale.

Congressional Oratory.

Congressman Littlefeld of Maine
has made national reputation as
an orator and thinker, although
this is his first term in the House.
AS a sample of his eloquence we give
herewith the peroration of his speech
on the Porto Rican tariff bill:
May our flag float over the whole re-
public, in the Occident as we'll as the
Orient, over the Pearl of the Antilles and
the Thousand Islands near far.off Ca.
thay, upon land and sea, over school
house and church, the emblem of our in
tegrity and good faith, of liberty and
freedom, of the inestimable blessings of
Christian civilization, of human rights
guaranteed by the constitution, not de.
pendent upon the evanescent will of state
or national legislature, too often aE
trighted by their own shadows of rights
embedded in the constitution, not float
ing upon the perturbed surface of elo-
quent perorations, rights that are eter-
nal and worldwide, not ephemeral and
circumscrlbed; of opportunity, not op-
preston. and of regeneration, not repres-
sion. Thus, and only thus, will it be and
ever remain, by the blessing and tavor of
Almighty God, the unsulied and unfair
nished emblem of our honor, our glory
and our splendor."

The Oleomargarine Bill.

A cursory perusal of the Congress
ional Record these days shows that
the farmers of the United States are
very much in earnest about the pas
sage OF the Grout bill to place oleo
products on a different basis from
dairy and creamery butter, for
petitions are pouring in from all
parts OF the country for the passage
OF this bill. In letter in last weeks
paper a correspondent explained
quite fully the provisions of the bill
and urged upon all the necessity OF
prompt action in signing the petit.
tons. A hearing on the Grout bill
was recently held in Washington
and ana address was made by ex.Gov,
Hoard of Wisconsin, president OF
the National Dairy Union, who
made strong plea for the passage
OF the bill. Among other strong
points made by the veteran dairymar
were these:

GARY sentiment of the nation. "That

Vermont Agricultural CoIIeqe.

The secretary of the interior has made
report to congress of the disbursement
OF appropriations in aid of the agricutu.
raj colleges in the various states. The
appropriation shows that the agricultu-
raj college in Vermont will receive next
June $4,000. The appropriation has
been increased $1,000 every year for the
last ten years, the appropriation to the
college in Vermont in June of 1890 being
SIS, 900. The total amount disbursed
to agricultural colleges in the different
states of the union this year will be ST..
100000. The appropriation is of all the
more interest to Vermont people because
it originated with the late Senator Nor
rill, who was in sense the father of agri-
cultural colleges.

A Statue of Senator Morrill,.

At a meeting of the association O
Sons of Vermont held in Boston re
Gently Gen. w. W. Grout advocated
the placing of statue of the lat.
Senator Morrill, in the old represen
tative hall in the capitol in Washing
ton. The suggestion is meeting with
favor and the next Legislature will
be asked to appropriate money for a
statue. AS few OF our readers have
seen his speech at that gathering we
give it herewith:
1T has never yet been stated anywhere
that have seen, but it is true, that Mr..
Morrill, was the author OF the resolution
setting aside old representative hall in
the capitol to be filled with not exceed
ing two statues of distinguished public
men to be furnished by each state.
when he first tried to get this resolu-
ton up in the house, January 6, 1864.
Elihu B. Washburne of Illinois said: 1
object, and the reason is that l propose
to introduce a resolution to remove the
seat of government from this barren and
isolated country at the earliest moment
But Mr.. Morrill, went quietly forward
beautifying the present seat of govern
ment, till now it is the pride of the whole
country. He held to his resolution the
same as to his Land Grant college bill,
which was once vetoed, and to his tariff
bills, and the next time lie called it up he
had better luck and, after a gem of
speech by himself and remarks by few
other members, it went through the
house but was killed in the senate. Not
discouraged, however, he got it into an ap-
preparation bill and it became law, as
many similar propositions do at the
present time.
Vermont already has two representa-
tives in that illustrious assemblage of
the dead, but who will say that the man,
whose brain conceived and whose hand
drew the law authorizing the states to
assemble in marble and bronze in this
old hall their great men, ought not to
stand there himself? Vermont's quota
is already full, but believe if the state of
Vermont were to present to congress the
statue of Senator Morrill, it would be
promptly admitted to the old hall where
he commenced his public career. The
people OF Washington are already NOV
ing for the erection of his statue in some
public place in that city, where he So
journed for so long time and where
there still fingers the radiance Of his use
full, well-ordered life. If the people of
Washington are thus astir in honoring
the public virtues and public services Of
Senator Morrill,, surely Vermqnters,
whether in Vermont or Massachusetts or
elsewhere scattered over the face of the
earth, will heartily applaud the poetic
justice that shall put his statue in the
place prepared by himself for the faithful
and great of this great republic"

The Effect of Senator Ross Speech.

The Effect of Senator Ross Speech.
The metropolitan papers are still
talking about Senator Ross speech
on the Philippines and here are the
comments of the Washington CORES.
pondent OF the Chicago Inter-O Ocean
"But it attracted the attention of the
President. He read it and then rereadit.
He read extracts from it to the cabinet.
He called the attention of senator's to it,
He expressed the opinion that Senator
Jonathan Ross had pointed the way
through the maze of constitutional dis.
cussion regarding the right of congress
to legislate for the Philippines without
first extending the constitution over the
islands.
Republican senator's and representa-
tives began to turn back the pages of the
Record to read Jonathan Ross speech.
The lawyers in both houses concluded
that Jonathan Ross was a great law.

directory and learned that Senator Ross
had been on the supreme bench of Yer
mont for thirty years before be came to
the Senate, and for ten years was chief
justice.
That speech has already had re-
markable effect on proposed legislation.
1t induced the President to consent to
a tariff between Puerto Rico and the
United States, after he had recommended
absolute free trade. 1t changed the
whole course of legislation for Puerto
Rico, because it convinced republican
leaders that the constitution did not ex-
tend to new possessions of the United
States. Every republican senator and
representative who desires to legislate
for these island possessions without
acknowledging them as a part of the
United States with the constitution over
them is quoting Jonathan Ross.
Zone of the attractions of Senator
Ross speech is that it is plain and direct,
like Puritan English. There is no at,
tempt to evade or dodge any RESPONSE
bility or call things by their wrong names.
Hecalls these islands acquired from Spain
outlying dependencies, and he says they
can be, and should be. governed as such.
He quotes decisions to sustain his posi-.
ton, and handles the question like a
Judge on the bench, rather than as an
orator or advocate"

CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

The next Vermont Legislature will
be asked to appropriate money for a
statue of Justin S. Morrill,, to be
placed in the statuary hall of the
capitol at Washington. Gen. Grout
points out that Mr.. Morrill, was the
author of the resolution many years
ago setting apart the old hall of the
House for the use now made of it..

selfhelp and selfreliance, and that is
the reason he liked the junior repub,
lie. A boy in the city is often sur
rounded by temptation and vice and
there they need some good influence
to counterfeit the evils and convert
the boys into useful citizens; if not,
hundreds OF boys may become viii
lians; but in the Junior Republic the
BOYS frame a constitution, elect Of

congress where they enact laws and
thus learn the value of government

He was followed by some of the boys
who were officers who told the good
it had done. They expect Mr.. Kel-
logg, the bird imitator to give con-
cert for their benefit.
Congress is still struggling with
the Porto Rican bill and the
Democrats are rejoicing because the
Republicans are not all unit in the
question. The silver issue is rather
a dead one upon which to raise
platform so they are much pleased to
raise the question oftariff or free trade
for the new territory. There ought to
be an educational campaign so that
the majority of the people of the
United States should fully understand
the Importance of deciding wisely on
the tariff debate, nor to allow so
many uneducated foreigners to come
INTO the rights of citizens. There
seems to be great many new and
questions coming up be-
ore Congress this year.

Quartermaster-G Gilmore of
Fairlee have read many pleasant
notices about themselves as candi-
dates for governor the past few
weeks. Both would make excellent
governors, but each has said he is
not candidate, so that ought to
end it. This ought to leave the field
pretty clear for Mr.. Stickney of Lud-

as good governor as we have had
