Peace Hath Her Victories In the
Philippines.

The popular impression, fostered by
Democratic campaign speakers and
anti-imperialist newspapers, is that dis
order reigns in the Philippines, end
that there is a chaotic condition of az
fairs, aggravated by an omnipresent
guerrilla warfare, particularly in the
island Of Luzon.
That the facts are entirely otherwise,
that peace reigns and the fruits of peace
are ripening far inland, and throughout
the island, is shown by the most intel
ligent and trustworthy corresp ondence
from Luzon. The editor of the JOUR-
NAL was recently permitted to read a
private letter from Luzon, by an indi-
viduai whose name attached to state
ment of facts or report OF observations
carries with such statement conclusive
force and the highest degree of credi-
bility. 1t is a matter of regret that
such letter cannot be printed in full
for the good it would do in disabusing
the public mind of wrong impressions
formed, and in replacing this darkness
with the wholesome light of the real
truth. The letter was, however, pri-
vate and its full publication, with the
name of the writer, would be a viola
ton of confidence on the part of the
recipient, and the assumption of re-
sponsibility he has no right to take.
Most of the letter is taken up with
an account OF trip some forty miles
inland. The writer's wife and child
accompanied him, three days were
consumed in the excursion and its OBJ
jective was an entertainment by for
mer member of Aguinaldo's cabinet
to which the correspondent and Gener-
al Grant had been specially invited.
In the course OF the tour many Flip
inc towns, famous in the battles of the
late war, were visited. The visitors
were generally received with friendly
| and enthusiastic demonstrations, with
bands of music and presents of fruits
and chickens. Along the route the
Filipino hu's were flying the ,Ameri-
can flag. The children greeted Gener-
al Grant with the familiar salutation,
"Hello," the child's friendly expression
Of good nature, and the adults with 9th
er evidences of popular good will. The
"presidente" or mayor of the town, the
chief local official under the system of
self government the Americans are in
stituting, came out to receive the Wis.
itors with addresses of welcome and

figures and declined unjust be RELOCATED
to the same class of half-truths 90 that
regarding the paper. L. is further
maintained that considerable sum will
be saved to the State. That is matter
that will be better determined later on.
To this argument and this view Of the
matter The CdltdOnidn' answer, among
the press extracts elsewhere printed, is
pertinent. The Vermont printing in
dustry may be as reasonably protected
against the piraticsl competition Of 3
neighboring State as its agricultural or
other interests against the cheap pro-
auctions of Canada or Europe.

eddy unjust and thoroughly Infamous

with the matter in any way whatever.

The GrOutOn Times.

The Groton Times was pretty hon
est paper, and was able to see some
things in a clear light, year ago, or
before the Hon. Horace w. Bailey
made it the Grouion Times. The SUBJ
Joined editorial articles from the issue
of August %, 1899, were written before
the film OF Groutism had clouded its
mental or moral vision. Read this:
1t will be a hard matter for some Of the
State papers to convince the public that

cradle, high and pure-minded Senator Nor.
rill, 1t has long been a we'll known fact
among many Of our prominent men that W.
Z. Dillingham; was the logical candidate for
the office in the event OF it being vacated
by Senator Morrill,. This has received fav-
orsble comment for a number OF years and
is true today. His experience has been
such as to fit him for the office and many
there are who will try to put him there.
The thought Of Mr.. Dillingham; accepting
the Office CT Representative is entirely out
confidence OF the people and could take up
the work left by our venersted Senator
Morrill, and carry it out along the lines he
had planned. On many issues he holds the
same opinions as did Senator Morrill, and
bis principle OF character and high. minded
purpose in life follow in the same trend.
BY all means let w. P. Dillingham; fill the
office of Senator,
And having meditated on the change,
and on the possible causes of the change,
that later came over the spirit of the
contemporaries dreams, peruse the fol-
lowing:

Speaking of the renewed Democratic
abuse of Senator Hanna, Mr.. J. T. At
terholt, of Connecticut said: "They
tried that four years ago without sue
cess, and it seems almost incredible
that they should repeat the mistake. If
it would not win then, it has not a
ghost of show now. In 1896 Hanna
was new proposition to the vast ma
jority of voters, and some of the stories
they told about him were really terrify-
ing. But during the past four years
the country has had pretty good
chance to become acquainted with the
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, and the people find much
in him to admire. Hanna is not a
statesman. Even his warmest admirers
do not credit him with being that, but
those who know him well know him to
be a brave and honest man, with mar
velous executive ability. His honesty
sometimes gets him into trouble. He
thinks thing, and says it, without
stopping to figure out what the effect
will be. If certain thing is so, Han
ma cannot see the reason why all the
world should not know it. In this he
is far more honest than many men who
pose as paragons of political virtue.
He is entirely without frills or orna-
ment, but is possessed of many homely

STATE PRIN Ting.
Some Press Opinions,

Every line and letter OF the State
printing ought to be retained in Yer.
mont and fair prices paid for frat class
work. An amendment ought to be
made to the statute in the matter which
would conhne the printing to offices in
the State, and for the benefit of any
careful soul that might be inclined to
fear a Job" q provision could be made
which would prevent any danger of
that kind.-Northfeld News.

Refreshing Diplomacy.

President Mckinley has notified the
governments of the several nations
which acted as our allies in China that
the United States has accomplished the
purpose for which it sent troops to
Pekin-rescued its minister and other
American citizens who were in peril
and respectfully asked them to state
their future intentions towards China.
And as hint of what he thinks they
ought to do, be has caused it to be
officially announced that no more
American troops will be sent to China
unless conditions change. That ia di-
plomacy in plain English-they used to
call 1t shirt-sleeve diplomacy, over in
Europe-and it is up to the allied pow
ers to answer as plainly. In order that
there may be no delay in dealing with
their reply, the President has given
up his visit TO the Grand Army en-
campment in Chicago, which he has
been looking forward to with pleasure
for months. 1t is strongly suspected
that several of the governments con-
cerned will not give satisfactory ans
wers.

GERMANvS POPULATION INCREASES
FASTER THAN HER FOOD SUPPLY.

Washington, April 13.-The debate
which has been in progress in The Ger
man Reichstag over the PROPOSED meat
inspection act, which, if passed, would
practically stop all Importation OF live
cattle and meats into Garmeny, has
again revived the question OF whas
would the industrial and commercial
classes OF Germany do for food il the
imported supply Of breadstuffs and
n,eats should be cut off.

a report 10 the state department under
date of March 3 says that during the
past century. the population of the
German empire has increased from %
100000 TO So. o00.000 and proportionate
increase would indicate nearly 100 900. :
900 persons in Germany at the close
of the twentieth century. Farm dairy
and garden production does not keep
pace by any means with the steady
increase of population and only by di-
verting the capital and labor which
NOW furthers commerce and trade in
3ermany into the farms and fields. can
Gerrnany's future food supply OF the
country be assured.

TUDOR AGAIN FAILED TO (.
APPEAR At GAS INQUIRY.

Boston April 13.-For the third time
at the gas investigation this week
there was no response TO the call of
the name OF Frederick Tudor, secre-
fary OF the New England Gas g. Coke
Company and today the excuse offered
for his iion-appearance was that while
he had received the summons OF the
committee.it was thought by his coun-
sci that there was other testimony to
be presented TO the committee and that
his attendance would not be required
today.
Mr.. Butler. the counsel for the COM
pany. told the committee that Mr.. Tu-
dor was in town, and the chairman
dismissed the matter for the day by
stating that the hearing would go on
with the understanding that Mr.. Tudor
would appear on Monday. The only
witness heard by the committee today
was w. r.. Addicks engineer OF the
Boston Gas Light Company. who read
a long table OF statistics on the price OF
gas and its manufacture during the
course Of which he told the committee
that he doubted If gas could be made
as cheaply from coal as from com
bination OF naphtha and coal. He said
that there WAS little call for coke. He
advocated water gas, which is being
made by his company rather than coal
gas made by the New England Gas &
Coke Company.
