of Gen. Grout as has been claimed. This
is Mr. Prouty's closing paragraph

of Gen Grout as has been claimed. This
is Mfr, Prouty's closing paragraph:
"Nermont cannot hope to send to the
United States Senate any person of the
actual ability Of George F. Edmunds or
Justin s. Morrill,, in my opinion, but it al
ways has been true and it ought to be true
today that somewhere on the eastern slope
of the Green Mountains there is somebody
who can maintain, if not the absolute, at
least the relative position of the Green
Mountain state in the Senate Of the United
States. If the people of Vermont should
think, after fair consideration, that it was
for the interest of the state to allow me to
try, and if at the end of one-third the num-
Der of years that Gen Grout has been
there my standing before the country in
Congress were no better than his, then
say now, probably should not say it then,
that this same people of Vermont should
ask me to step back and let somebody else
try
The essential point of Mr.. Prouty's ad-
dress, so far as it interests the people of
Vermont, is his contention that Gen
Grouts long term of service in the House
does not give him priority of claim to the
him fright" to the office over any other
candidate. This point is well taken and
is entitled to consideration in all the dis
cussion OF the coming summer. In the
election of a successor to Justin S. Morrill,
individual claims ought to count for moth
ing. The question is purely one as to who
is the best man-as TO who of all the men
whose names will be presented to the legs-
lature gives, in his public record and in his
personal character and qualifications, the
best promise of maintaining in some de-
gree the proud prestige of Vermont in the
Senate of the United States. 1t is the in
telligent, active, sober-minded sentiment
of the people of Vermont that ought to de-
termine this question, and not personal
work by or for any candidate.

Vote on Porto Rico Ban Next Tuesday.

Vote on Porto Rico BiII Next Tuesday.
The Porto Rico question will be decided
on Tuesday next in the Senate, that day
having been fixed by agreement Wednesday
for taking a vote on the pending bill and
amendments. When the matter was pre-
sented by Senator Foraker the suggestion
was made by Senator Bacon that the vote
might be taken Thursday, but Senator
Proctor, who is opposed to imposing GUS
toms duties, interposed, and suggested
that Tuesday of next week was as early as
was consistent with proper consideration
of the bill. Senator Proctor is one of
those who have declared that they will not
vote for the bill if it contains provisions
for the imposition of customs duties, and
who are directing their efforts to secure
the adoption of an amendment providing
for free trade between the United States
and Porto Rico. These gentlemen believe
that delay is in their favor, and that there
is fair chance that public sentiment will
compel a sufficient number of Republican
Senators to support free trade with the is
land. The Republican senators who are
outspoken against customs duties and the
passage of a bill imposing such duties are
Proctor, Beveridge, Davis, Mason, Nelson,
Simon and Wellington.

The bill appropriating upwards of So
100000 for the benefit Of the people of
Porto Rico was passed by the House Sat
urday after an hours debate, during which
the Democrats had much to say about the
"plaln duty urged upon Congress by the
President and the deliberate refusal of the
dominant party in the House to follow
that "plain duty" Having received the
final action of Congress the bill was hur-
ried to the White House and was approved
by the President during the afternoon
Recognizing the urgency Of the situation
in Puerto Rico, the secretary of war i'm
mediaiely cabled Gen. Davis Of the ap-
proval of the appropriation act, and direct
ed that officer to at once take steps to re-
lieve the distress by giving employment
on public works 10 all who applied.

The President sent to the Senate Tues
day additional documents concerning the
Philippine insurgents, consisting of papers
captured by American troops, information
concerning the Filipino committee in Hong
Kong, relating to the treatment of prison
ers, etc. These documents tend to show
that the Filipinos planned an uprising
against the Americans soon after Dewey's
victory, and that the rebels hoped to be
armed at the expense of the Americans.
