PLANS FOR THREE NEW BATTLE
SHIPS.

Washington, April 24.-The naval
board on construction to-day finally
approved the plans for the three bat
tleships authorized by the last Con-
gress, and gave instructions to have
the specifications prepared at once pre-
liminary to calling for bids from the
shpbuilders. The board has settled
upon design very similar to the plan
originally proposed. The ships Will t3
enlarged IOWas in type, with the rec
tangular superstructure, and the two
turrets, bow and stern, on the main
deck The turret guns will be Pinch
ralibre like the IOWa'S guns; there WI
be a turret at each corner of the super
structure carrying two 8-inCh guns and
twelve 6-inch rapid-firers will be dis
posed along the sides of the central cit
adel. To carry all this armament the
armor and the engines and boilers, to
give the ship nineteen knots speed, Will
require a displacement of about 1880
tons. making these new ships by far
the largest in the United States navy
and as big as the latest type of British
armOred cruiser. AS the constructors
are limited in the draft by our shallow
harbors to a little over twenty-five feet,

r1r. Dillingham; and Public Issues.

1t is definitely stated by one who
has personally interviewed William
P. Dillingham; and processes to know
whereof he speaks, that this would
be United States senator is ian anti
expansionist of the broadest sort"
The people of Vermont will be in
terested in getting further informa-
ton on this subject, and perhaps Mr..
Dillingham; or some of his organs
will talk right up and tell us just
where he does stand on this and the
other national questions that today
are demanding heroic treatment.
If Mr.. Dillingham; is an anti-expan-
sionist, either "of the broadest sort"
or in milder degree, he is not in
sympathy with the republican ad-
ministratiOn which is endeavoring to
meet grave issues in the wisest man
ner; and if he is not in sympathy
with the administration he is out of
tune with the patriotic public senti-
ment OF Vermont, and not fitted to
represent that sentiment in the ma
tional legislature.
The people of the state-barring
of course, our friends Of the demo
cratic believe thoroughly
in the republican party and the
record it has made and no man who
is, at this critical point in our his
tory, not in accord with what a
very large majority of the people
believe to be the best policy to pur-
sue in dealing with the important
responsibilities that have been thrust
upon US as a nation, has any right to
ask election to the United States SEN
ate.
If William P. Dillingham; is not ar
anti.expansionist, and is in sym
patty with what his party is trying
to accomplish, he should let it b'
known promptly.
If he is thus out of harmony will
the desire and sentiment of his stat
as a whole, he should not presum
to ask so great a favor at it
hands.

agreed to appoint sub committees in eac1

This is practically on the same nlan &c

1t was decided to hold one large state

several smaller ones at different points in
the state. 1t is expected that Gov

nr. Dillingham; Challenged.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
letter from Wallace H. Parker OF
Cambridge, who was a member of the
lower branches of the legislature of 1854,
and who introduced the now famous
oleomargarine bill, No 1877.
Mr.. Parker took this letter personally
to the Burlington Free Press and
sought it's publication in that paper, for
the reason that the F. P. had stated that
the bill was unconstitutional and that
the rendering of the courts on similar
measures was corrobative evidence.
This Mr.. Parker denies.
He says there is no precedent to be
found where a court has declared against
a bill which imposes a tax and a tax
only on oleomargarine. And this was
the extent OF the Parker measure.
Candidate for Senator Dillingham;,
who was the principal opponent in the
house OF 1884 against the Parker bill
claimed that the tax and license de.
manded by the bill. were prohibitive
and so unconstitutional, and the papers
that are supporting him for the Office oil
his ambition are claiming the same to,
uftJ, III OluCl " uCl y LuClI CGuuludlS Out
of serious dilemma.
The claim that the tax and license
were so large as to be prohibitive is
only matter of opinion at most. Had
the bill become law and resulted in
making sales of oleomargarine in the
state animpossibility it would not have
made the law unconstitutional. We
have illustrations of heavy taxation
driving out lines of industry; yet the
law which accomplished this remains
constitutional. The right to tax by the
government is question no man raises
IN this period of advanced civilization.
Mr.. Parker refers to the tax imposed
on the old state banks, which resulted
in the closing of their doors. Does Mr.
Dillingham; claim that this was an act O.
nconstitutionality
The statement has been made that
similar laws to the Parker bill have
been held unconstitutional in New York
ana other states. With Mr.. Parker, we
oeny this, and we go one step farther
and challenge Mr.. Dillingham; and his
newspapers to cite the cases. If they
VIII do this, naming the laws, their con
tents and the court decisions we will

offer humble apology to- both Mr.. Dill
lingham and his newspapers.
In no state is there decision denying
the right to tax oleomargarine and other
substances for butter to any extent
which the legislature may determine.
That Mr.. Dillingham; atterward fa-
vored another bill relating to oleomar-
garine has nothing to do with his con-
stitutional argument against the Parker
bill. Had he been in sympathy with
the butter makers, who are the farmers
of the state. and had he considered the
tax and the license excessive, be would
have advised reducing the amounts.
But he failed to do this. He uttered no
word, when he spoke in opposition to
the Parker bill, favoring lighter tax
and lighter license. His attitude was
opposition without compromise, and it
reminds us of the famous saying of Van
derbilt, THE public be damned!"-L Es-

Senatorial Talk.

The Montpelier Waterman has de-
clared the Grout OIeomargarine bill
unconstitutional. AS the Waterman is
the avowed advocate of Vim. P. Dilling-
ham for the senate, it seems very reason
able to suppose that it voices the senti-
ment Of its candidate on this oleo meas
ure. Mr.. Dillingham; has the right to
declare that any bill is constitutional if
he so desires, but in so doing in this i'll
stance, he shows little regard for the
producer OF butter, and therefore his po-
sition comes home to every farmer in the
state Essex Record,
The Times has taken for its choice
Gen. Grout and its reasons for so doing
have been told to our readers.
The remark is made. "he has been in
public office Tor many years and it's
time for a change" 1t is true he has
been a public servant for a good, long
time, and this fact alone is sufficient rea-
son for his being elected to the higher
branch of our national legislature. But
few there are, comparatively, who can
point to so long a record of public SER
vice with fewer errors of commission and
omission. Yet this record has not been
one of ethargy or ease, as one might
suppose, for the active, loyal work of
Gen. Grout is recognized by the press and
the people wherever he is known, even
those who are working the hardest for
his defeat admit the truth and justice of
this statement. A record so long and so
honorable should be the best evidence Of
the Generals fitness for the high office to
which he aspires.
Voters look we'll to the record of all
candidates.; weigh we'll the work they
have done; scrutinize their daily life and
learn to the best of your circumstances
who is the best adapted to the work
who has been weighed in the balance
and not found wanting; who is the most
loyal to the interests of Vermont and her
citizens. Do this and we believe you will
make your choice of an active veteran
rather than raw recruit" and do your
best to see Vermont's seat in Congress
filled by Gen. Grout.- Groton Times.
Concerning Vermont politics the New
York Mail and Express says: There is
spirited but wholesome contest among
Vermont Republicans over the choice o
successor to Jonathan Ross in thu
United States Senate. The contest ha
developed an aspect of dignity in pubI
life well suited to the politics of tn
Green Mountain state. Senator Ros
holds his position by gubernatorial ap
pointment and the legislature to elect hi
successor will be chosen in September
The two leading candidates are forme
Governor Dillingham; and Genera
Grout." We are glad to know that tn
contest appears dignifed from outsid
the state. Can it be that the circulatio

work of Europeans and Americans.
No people whose characteris founded
upon superstition and diabollsm,
however numerous, can successfully
oppose the work of iron working
nations. The list of exposed towns
along the coast, and on navigable
rivers is a large one. China has no
sea defence worth a picayune. A few
thousand shells skilfully applied here
and there will weaken very much the
character of the frenzied craze now
sweeping through China. The TAX
ing of Tientsim, and the capture OF
the forts at Toxic, very senslbly
diminished the amount of Boxer
shrieks for blood at ChefCo, and
changed insensate hatred to out
ward respect and Difference in a day.
The world is too far advanced to be
by crazy mob. For
that and other reasons, do not get
over anxious about the yellow
Terror. Iron is denser then blood,
and intelligence uses the one, when
reason is powerless to control the
other.

TILL OLEO BILL OF 1884.



The charge has been made that an
oleomargarine bill, introduced into the
Legislature of 1884, was opposed by Mr..
Dillingham; and others who succeeded in
killing it. In answer to this charge Mr..
Dillingham's friends say that he opposed
the bill on the ground that it was uncon-
stitutional and that he afterwards fav-
ored another bill which became law and
is still on the statute books.
The charge that the bill was unconsti-
tutional has stirred up the author of the
bill, Lawyer W. H. Parker of Cambridge.
This charge was made IN the Free Press
and Mr.. Parker requested that paper to
print letter from him on the subject.
The Free Press declined to do so and at
Mr.. Parker's request the Burlington
News prints his defence of his bill as fol-
lows;

1t was bill to tax and regulate the sale
OF oleomargarine. 1t contained no pro.
visions that the oleomargarine law
passed by congress in 1886 does not con.

ments were pressed against the bill at
Washington the same as by Mr.. Dillng
ham at Montpelier, yet the bill became a
law and has been sustained by repeated
decisions OF the supreme court.
