The opinion is expressed that
the small pox may be expected to
re-appear, next winter, with md,

cases stillcropping out, show that
it has not been fully exterminated.
This is y pointer to our people to

Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet, and
could not for physical, stragetic and moral
reasons, sail away, up to the present un-
happy season of guerrilla warfare, it can
not be denied in the light of each hour
as one event followed another, that the
representatives of the United States did
what they honestly thought was best.
History will further determine beyond
question that if it had been possible to
have landed a small mobile American mil
itary force of 5000 men at Cavite immedi-
ately after the naval battle and under ca
pable leader, such a force and leader could
have gone everywhere through the Islands.
They would have been ioyously welcomed.
They could have established American au-
thority without opposition, excepting from
Spanish sources. Time, fate, and unex-
pected contingencies of war were against
US, however, in this crisis. They gave
Aguinaldo the opportunity to come to the
islands, organize a government and army,
incite the people to follow him, announce
unwarranted and unpledged assurances of
independence, as if authorized by the
United States, and finally to occupy po-
sition to combat the Americans.

such that it was absolutely impossible TO

Gen. Estey,s R.tIr.m.n..

The last muster Of the Vermont national
guard was held at Chester in 1897. OWing
to the Spanish war no musters were held
in 1898 or 1899. The regiment will 90 in.
to camp the 18th on the state grounds near
Fort Ethan Allen, Burlington, but there
being no brigade organization since the re.
organization of the militia, none of the
brigade officers will have official duties al
this encampment. 1t will be a new OK.
perience for the regiment to camp alone.
after having been mustered out for about
a quarter of century with the light bat
terry as a brigade organization The
change, however, will hardly be noticed
by the rank and file of the regiment, many
of the men being new to military duty and
camp life. OF the officers associated with
the state militia % years ago probably but
two now remain on the roster, Adiutant
and Inspector T. S. Peck of Bur
lington and Brig. Gen. Julius j. Estey of
Brateeboro, both of whom hold commits
sions antedating 1875. Gen. Estey began
his career as a militia officer in 1874, when
he was elected captain of the Estey Guard.
in which capacity he served till 1881, when
he was promoted to the Office of lieutenant
colonel. Six years later he was elected
colonel of the regiment. In 1893 be was
elected brigadier- general BY the legislature.
which Office he still holds. This year, for
the first time since his election as captain
26 years ago, with single exception he
will be absent from the annual muster
In 1886, because of his absence in Europe,
he failed to issue orders in camp. Gen.
Estey does not anticipate further service in
the national guard, and indeed, in his
recommendation to the Acknowledgment
he urges the adjustment OF the office of
brigader-general, believing that there is
no longer any need of brigade organiza-
ton. Should his recommendation she &C.
cepted by the legislature, the Office will
be one of the things of the past. Gen.
Estey's idea, as embodied in his report to
the adjutant general, is to increase the
companies in the regiment to the number
of 100 men each, if need be, all under com
mand of the colonel. This would do away
with several offices and it is believed prove
more satisfactory and less cumbersome.

CONFERENCE AT NoRTHFIELD.

People Have Poured Into the Town on
Every TraIn---BervIces Next Sunday
Young Peoples Institute Wul Open
Tuesday.
Accommodations at the seminary build
ings, in tents, at the Mortified Hotel, and
in the homes of the villagers, have been
taxed at Mortified during the last few
days to make room for the people who
have been pouring in by every train to at
tend the general conference. No one has
ever yet been sent out of the town, except
to the Mount Hermon school buildings,
and those in charge feel confident Of their
ability to care for all who wish to come
this season.
The plan which the New York Presby-
terry tried last year-that Of having one of
the buildings reserved for its own mem
bers-proved such means Of enjoyment
and blessing that Weston hall was again
engaged in advance by them, and is filled
TO overlooking with members of the Pres
bytery and their families. Many minis
tiers Of other denominations are also pres
ent, besides we'll. known workers represent
ing many fields and phases Of Christian
work.
Rev. G.. Campbell Morgan, D. D., who
is present for the fourth successive sum-
mer, has been the most prominent speak
ers thus far, and the people listen TO his
earnest and searching addresses as eagerly
and attentively as in former years.
Rev. F. B. Meyer arrived on Wednesday
and will be heard at least once each day.
Those who have attended Mortified con-
ferences year after year can remember sea-
sons when it seemed possible to attend al
most every meeting and hear every speak
er, but with the number of speakers there
are on the ground at present and the num-
Der of meetings held each day one would
be guilty of religious dissipation if he at
tended all and heard all.
The principal speakers to be heard Sun
day are Rev. F. b. Meyer and Rev. Peyton
Hoge of Louisville, KY, and full quota
of services is arranged, namely, prayer
meeting at 7 A. NJ. in the Auditorium; at
10 A. NJ. in the Auditorium song service
followed by addresses by Rev. F. b. Meyer
and others; at o'clock another address
in the Auditorium; at $3.50 one on Round
Top and at 1870 one in the Auditorium.
An attractive feature of next week
services will be the Young Peoples Insti-
tute, which will open Tuesday afternoon.
John Willis Baer arrives on Monday and
will direct these meetings, to which it is
hoped all young peoples societies in the
vicinity will send as many representatives
| as possible.

The Alaskan boundary Canard.
From the Boston Journal.

1t would be interesting to know what
ingenious campaign falsifier started tn g
yarn that the Administration had surren-
dered the rights of American miners by an
agreement with Great Britain regarding
the Alaskan boundary.
The fact is that no negotiations have
been entered into with reference to this
question since the signing of the Temporal
ry agreement last October. This agree
ment amounted to nothing more than the
running of provisional boundary line, to
prevent possible conflicts between miners
and police in the absence of any under
standing. 1t was not only agreed between
the two governments that neither of them
surrendered or abridged any of its claims
through this temporary arrangement, but
it was explicitly provided that none of
their citizens CT subjects should suffer any
diminution of cheir rights and privileges
by reasons of the agreement. The rights
of American miner were thus fully pro
tected. ------7

Evidently the farmers of Bennington
county-and all Vermont-regard this hui
lababoo of the Grout people over this oleo-
margarine matter, like the peeping of Mr..
id noise'-and this is the real truth
of the matter. And this "noise'' has been
kept up in CIRCUITS interest for the last 10
years. 1t is always loudest when a con-
tested election is pending in which Gen.
CIRCUITS political fortunes are at stake. 1t
has lost its power to arouse. The farmers
have become disillusioned. They believe
as Josh Billings once remarked, after a
struck oil, it's time TO change the gimlet.

Cheap Attempt to Prejudice the Farm
erS,
From the Randolph Herald

The Grout papers are making a great
ado over DillinghAms opposition to an oleo
bill in the Vermont House years ago-a
bill that was utterly impractical and i'm
possible of accomplishing anything. They
are trying to prejudice the farmers against
Dillingham;, but it is a very cheap attempt
and will have no effect Not one of them
can truthfully say that the ex-governor's
attitude on this bill indicated the least I'M
friendliness toward the dairymen. Rather
the reverse, for he desired and voted for q
measure that would stand the test of con-
stitutionality and not be swept off the
statute books, leaving oleo free hand to
operate disastrously to the farmers inter-
ests.
