BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, MAY is, 1900.

ever known. His resignation was accept
ed in Montana by Lieutenant Governor
Spriggs, the acting governor, who at once
appointed Clark to the vacancy in the
Senate, and Clark wired back his accept
ance. Gov. Smith of Montana, a political
opponent of Clark, was in California at
the time, leaving Spriggs acting governor.
When Governor Smith left the state he
expected the president Of the state senate
would be the acting governor, as Spriggs
had gone to the Populst convention at
Sioux Falls. The trick had been carefully
planned by Clark and Spriggs, however,
and the lieutenant governor simply got off
one train and started back on another,
not stopping for the convention in Sioux
Falls, and he became acting governor on
his return to Montana. 1t is believed in
Washington that Clark will never be
seated, as his case is similar to that of
Quay's in its legal aspects. Clark has
certainly played an audacious game, which,
it would seem, will have the effect Of
giving more opprobrium to a name already
lacking in dignity not to mention some
other things.

The DemocrntIc Dilemma.

The Popuist convention at Sioux Falls
last week struck another discordant note
for the Democracy in nominating for vice
president on the ticket with Bryan, Chas.
A. Towne OF Duluth, a renegade Republi-
can and a radical silverite and socialist.
Towne was elected to Congress as Repub
can by 10000 majority, but after serving
one term be became a free silver oracle,
and on trying for reelection as a silverite
he was defeated, and also met defeat at
later trial. Col. Bryan wanted the indorse-
ment of the Sioux Falls convention, but it
was his urgent request that the vice presi-
dency be left open to the Kansas City con-
vention. The Democratic leaders regard
Towne as a very vulnerable candidate, and
do not wish to have him thrust upon their
national convention. No matter what
platform is adopted at Kansas City the
nomination of Bryan and Towne would
mean free silver. II the Democrats refuse
to accept Towne on the ticket with Bryan
the Populists will undoubtedly run Towne
independently, as they did Watson four
years ago, and with three tickets in the
field the Republican victory would be as
sured in some states by pluralities instead
Of by majorities. This dilemma faces the
Democrats They may nominate a regu-
lar Democrat, and thus offend the ardent
Populists; or they may keep Towne on
the ticket and so ALLEVIATE the support Of
the conservative Democrats who have no
admiration for the vagaries of Populism.

why a man who wants to state his views

takes the responsibility for what appears
in its editorial columns.

The circulation OF the national banks
stood on Saturday about $4,000, 600
higher than at the close of last year. This
is chiefly due to the operation of the new
refundlng law, making the conditions more
favorable for taking out the circulation
upon the bonds. The increase in circula-
tion, which is already plainly in sight, is
about S64, 600, 600, which would afford a
total circulation of $31o,0CO,CO0 The
reason for the difference between the act
ual circulation on Saturday, which was
S20l 500. 500, and the authorized limit OF
80, 100000, is the delay necessary in pre-
pairing plates and'printing and distributing
notes under the heavy orders from the ma
tional banks.

A Very PInIn stntemtn, Of FaeI.

In the canvass now in progress for
the nomination Of successor to Gen.
Grout in this congressional district it may
as well be understood first as last, that
there is no opposition to Col. Haskins in
this county, and that there will be none.
Further than this, the support of COL
Haskins by his own county is not passive
or perfunctory, but is strong, active and
determined. Mr.. Plumley's candidacy
will gain nothing by the claims 10 the con-
trary which have been put in circulation
within the past week. Actual personal in
vestigation has proved beyond question
that there is no truth in the claim that
any town in the north part of the county
will be divided or even lukewarm in Col.
Haskins's support. An attempt made TO
secure such result in Mr.. Plumley's fav-
or met with prompt and decisive refusal
There is no more doubt that Rockingham
will send TO the congressional convention
a delegation active in support of Col. Has
kins than that Brattleboro will do so. And
the same is true of every other town on
The north line of the county. Any claim
TO the contrary is founded in falsehood ant
deception. The facts on which this state
ment is based are at hand and can be Civ
en- in detail if it becomes necessary or de
sirable TO do so,
This declaration is not needed to re-as
sure any friend of Col. Haskins in hi
home county. 1t is made with absolute
positiveness and conviction for the bene
fit of any and all persons up the distric
who wish to know the facts, and who ma!
have been misled by any published state
ment. All that the home supporters o
Col. Haskins ask for him is fair and truth
full treatment. 1t is their wish and pur
post TO avoid personalities, but they holC
a winning hand if further development
compel them to take the offensive.

Heroic Stand of Our Troops.


gen. Macarthur Confirms story OF the
Fight Of 80 Men of 43d Regiment
Against 900 FIIIpInos.
Gen. Macarthur has transmitted report
from Henry T. Allen, major of the 43d
volunteers, who commanded the United
States forces on the island of Samar, re-
garding the three days engagement at Cat
ubig, in which 20 Americans were killed.
1t appears that this force was divided
among several ports on Samar, and while
details are still lacking, it is believed that
this particular force which was besieged
at Cstubig was commanded, not by a COM
missioned officer but by a sergeant, either
George OF Hall, both of whom were killed.
Catubig, where the engagement occurred,
is seaport town of nearly 10000 inhab-
itants. Gen. MacArthur's cablegram is as
follows:
The rumored engagement in Samar re-
ported cablegram of Gen. Otis May f. has
been confirmed by reports recently received
from Henry T. Allen, 43d regiment, Unit
ed States volunteer infantry, commanding
Samar island. That detachment of 81
men stationed at Catubig we're attacked
! April - by 600 men with 200 rifles and
! one cannon. Our men quartered in con-
vent which was fred next day by burning
hemp thrown from adjoining church. De-
/ tachment attempted to escape by river.
Men getting into boat were killed; re-
naming men entrenched themselves near
river and held out two days longer, facing
most adverse circumstances until rescued
| by Lieut.. Sweeney and ten men. Over
| 200 of attacking party (many of them are
reported having come from Luzon island(
reported killed and many wounded. Lieut..
Sweeney reports streets covered with dead
insurgents.

Lieut.. Pond Commended for Bravery
in the Philippines

The extract below is from the official
report of Lieut.. Col. John W. Bubb of the
18th infantry of an engagement on June
10, 1899, on the Dasmarinas road south of
linus in which Lieut.. Z. Arlington Pond
of Rutland took prominent part. Lieut..
Pond was formerly the noted pitcher of
the University of Vermont base ball team,
and later was widely known as a mem
Der of the Baltimore National league team
which won the championship three con-
secutive years. The official report speaks
of the battle as one of the most desperate
that has taken place in the Philippines.
The engagement lasted without any cessa-
tion from IL 80 A. NJ until p. NJ, the
command being entirely surrounded most
of the time. -Four of the Americans were
killed and 20 wounded during the day.
Col Bubb says: ~ cannot speak in too
high terms of the conduct of all the officers
and men comprising my command for
realize that had not all performed more
than their ordinary duty serious disaster
might have resulted. Acting Assistant
Surgeon A. Pond was untiring is his work
of caring for the wounded and transport
ing the dead. He freely went to all parts
of the line under severe fire. His gallant
~ was conspicuous.
81 believe his cool courage and bearing
in addition to his skill in caring for the
wounded that day contributed largely to
save the command from serious disaster"

Six of the eight delegates from Colorado
to the Republican national convention
this year were supporters of Bryan -four
years ago. Senator Wolcott, who was
counted an out-and.out silyerite at one time,
reports complete revulsion from Democ-
racy on the part Of residents of Colorado
who supported Bryan in the 1896 campaign
on account of his free silver views. Ex-
Representative Belford Of Denver, who
was a Republican congressman II years
ago, but who went on the stump for
Bryan, substantiates Senator Wolcotts de-
claration. The Democratic party, he said,
could net be trusted for anything. 1t
could oppose things and sometimes be right
in its opposition, but it never could do
anything and often interfered with good
things that others were doing.

Senator CIarL's AudacIOus Coup.

Senator Clark ofMontana, with tears on
tap, stated in the United States Senate
Tuesday that he had sent his resignation
as Senator to the governor of Montana.
He reviewed the political situation in Mon
tana, denied charges of bribery, and told
with great emotion how it was his wish to
leave his children the legacy of good
name. Senator Chandler, chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections, had
given notice that he would call up at
o'clock that day the resolution reported
unanimously from the committee declaring
Mr.. Clark not to be entitled to his seat in
the Senate, and it was expected that Clark
would be kicked down stairs promptly.
The other senators were touched by Clark's
emotion and many of them pressed around
him to grasp his hand in sympathetic en-
brace.
Later in the day the fact developed that
Clark was one of the actors in the most
audaciOus political coup the country has

Congress.

The appropriation bills and other neces-
sary measures are being rushed through
both houses Of Congress, in accordance
with the plan of the Republican managers
to secure adjournment on the l1th of June.
The Senate was busy yesterday on the post
Office appropriation bill, and also consld-
cred and accepted the conference report on
the agricultural appropriation bill, which
was presented by Senator Proctor. The
Republican leaders are determined to drop
every general measure which is not abso-
lutely necessary in order to get an adjourn
ment.

A Mans Way.

Last weeks issue of the Randolph Her.
aid and News contained an open letter
from Col. K. j. Kimball on the state sena-
torship question in Orange county. Col.
Kimbalis friends have wished to elect him
one Of the senators from that county this
fall, but there has also appeared in the
field William B. Wall, who seems to be
thing, by the way, which has rarely, if ever,
been done by any aspirant for the senate
rial office in this county. In his letter
Col. Kimball presents his own record as a
Republican from the days OF the Fremont
campaign in 1856, and also that Of Mr.. Vi
all as Democratic leader and candidate
for office until 1896, when he bolted the
free-silver platform, but acted with the
gold Democrats, only appearing as a Re-
publican two years ago when he was elect.
ed the representative from Randolph.
Col. Kimball defends his Vermont resi-
dence and citizenship, in an effective para
graph, and says in conclusion:
"I have had many evidences that the
most cordial regard and Election | have for
the people Of my native town are recipro-
Gated, and it is this prize more than NY
thing else. II to attain even so high and
honorable an office as the senatorship, will
forfeit not only my selfrespect, but that
also OF these my neighbors and friends, it
is something l cannot approve of, and
should decline to receive ii at so great a
cost, and therefore l have this to say in
conclusion: | shall not make a personal
active canvass or solicit votes from any
one. l shall not in any way undertake to
build myself up by pulling another down,
or try to make my friends think less of
another for any cause whatever. But if it
should prove true that the majority of the
Republican voters in the town and county
prefer that the honor should come to
me. should serve them TO the best of my
ability"
The Phoenix has no suggestion TO offer
about the choice of senator in Orange
county, but it makes this quotation from
Col. Kimball's letter to recognize and cor
daily to approve his straightforward way
of saying what he has to say in his own
person and over his own name, instead of
going at il in some roundabout way. 1t
ought to make him votes.
OF the genuineness of Col Kimbalrs 5
Vermont citizenship no one who knows
him personally can have any doubt. It'is
with him matter of pride in the state Of
his birth and of love for the home of his
ancestors and of his own childhood.

A DeplorabIe Affair.

The Cuban post-office scandal is hu-
initiating and deplorable blotch on the rec
ord of American rule in Cuba, which, IN
til now, has been praiseworthy in most re-
spects. Charles F. W. Neeley, the treas
urer of the Cuban post-office department
fed to this country, and shortage in his
accounts, which was at first placed at $36,-
600, is now admitted to be $4,000. This
discrepancy has been growing for year
1t is also suspected that $400, 900 of sur
charged stamps, which were entrusted to
Neeley to be destroyed, were issued in part
and the money added to Neeleys private
account. Neeley is now in Muncie, Ind,
his former home, and there is some ques-
tion as to the legal aspect of his case, owing
to our peculiar relations with Cuba. Neeley
insists that he cannot be arrested and tried
in this country for a crime committed in
Cuba. The President has ordered the sus-
pension of Major Rathbone, director OF
posts for Cuba. There is no evidence or
suspicion that he vas in collusion with
Neeley or others. lis removal is based on
the charge Of culpable negligence. The
postal service has been run extravagantly
in Cuba, and there are intimations that the
full story Of the frauds has not been told
Postmaster Thompson of Havana has been
suspended, and several persons in his office
are under close supervision.

FRIDAY, MAY Is, 1900.

The official report of the condition of
the Merchants National bank of Rutland
will not be made public until June 20.
The Rutland Herald says that the figures
few days ago showed an estimated total
deficit OF S243. SSH. The number of de-
positors is 26O 1t will probably take two
years to settle up the affairs of the bank,
and this will probably cost $4,000
