The state road commissioner has made
his announcement of annual meetings
throughout the state, the Addison county
date being March 2G and the place the
Addison House in Middlebury. Both
the village and the county have done
some fine work in permanent road build
ing the past few years, but their work is
necessarily only a beginning 1t is to be
hoped that every road commissioner in
the county will be present at the gather
ing above noted and come prepared to
ask questions and give experiences for
the interchange of ideas will go far to
help along the movement. Perhaps no
single public work will go so far toward
increasing the general welfare as good
roads. How to make them economically
yet thoroughly is a question of interest
to all.

CUBA AS a STATE.

1t is stated that Senator Proctor has
gone to Cuba to examine carefully and
report the feeling there for annexation
as state to the United States.
This is in the right direction, and in
deed is the one and only possible salts
factory outcome as regards Cuba and
Porto Rico of present complications.
Unquestionably if properly brought be-
fore them, land there could be no better
manager in the matter than Senator
PROCTOR will abundantly satisfy
the Cubans, and will practically be salts.
factory to all Americans. For in this
way, and this only, can we preserve our
institutions, letting the Constitution fol-
low the flag. OF course it will be neces-
sary, and this is the more difficult part,
to get away from the Philippine compli-
cation. In this, too, there is but one
possible course to pursue, in protecting
our own interests, and that is to let them
set up for themselves and paddle their
own canoe. These Islands are too far off
and too thickly settled with population
which we do not want as citizens, to
think of admitting them as states, and
therefore their freedom must be recog-
nized and the tlme-honored principles of
the Republic be reasserted.
That Americans will do this, or are in
deed rapidly preparing to do this, we be-
lieve there is no possible ques ton. In
coming from New York to Philadelphia
within few days, the writer was thrown
In company with representative young
American from Iowa; strong Repubi-
can and also voted for Mckinley but he
said Oh the question of the Philippines
there were hundreds of thousands of the
Republicans of the West who would not
permit any settlement of the Philippine
question, excepting one in full accord
with the spirit of our institutions, and
That meant as soon as possible to let
the independence of the Philippines be
established. He said that thus far these
Republicans, including himself, thought
that Mr.. Mckinley Intended to do this,
only desiring TO secure law and order
and organize schools. so that their re-
public might be a success; "but," he
added, 1--WE are beginning to be suspi-
ciOus that the commercial interests are
fostering the war for commercial pur-
poses. This the West will not permit.
If necessary to prevent it Iowa and other
western states will become Democratic.
For whatever your feeling may be in the
East, in the West the determination to
sustain American principles in all their
integrity is overwhelming
The REGISTER thinks that all this will
be accomplished by the Republican party.
That it will be accomplished, goes with
out question, and this trip of Mr.. Proctor
suggests that it may all take place easily
in the immediate future, aud under Mr..
McKinleys guidance. We trust at least
that this will be the fact.

The official announcement in the house
of commons on Tuesday that General
Botha, the Boer leader, had rejected the
terms of peace offered him by General
Kitchener, indicates that the war in
South Africa is anything but ended,

his views. The British government evil

high figure. Time was when a foeman
who had proved himself Il worthy antag-
onist was entitled to some cons liberation

in the annals of warfare are asked to
make unconditional surrender before
they are clicked" OF course due allow
ance must be made for the horrible LAGER
alton of English pride and the awful hu-
initiation of admitting. even by implica-
ton, that there has been any war a all

The concert given by the Middlebury
Festival chorus and w. II. Chapman,
with four artists from New York, last
week Thursday night drew a deservedly
large and representative audience, who
showed their appreciation by the closest
attention and honest applause. The
concert was one of the best ever given
here. The work of the chorus under the
direction of Miss Maude Stevens was a
marvel to those who knew that they had
had but six rehearsals. w. X. Chap
man is an ideal accOmpanist. Miss
Blanca Holley, the soprano advertised,
was i'll in New \ ork With diphtheria, but
the audience were not disappointed, as
Miss Randall of the Castle Square Opera
company, who was secured in her stead
has cultured voice of rare sweetness.
Miss Moore, the contralto, has rich,
full voice with the rare, sympathetic
quality that moves peoples hearts. Hans
kronold, the 'cellist, though young, is an
artist, and the audience were charmed
with his skill. Miss Louise Truax, the
whistler, was revelation to those pres
ent. Her performances are simply mar
velous. No idea of her skill can be had
from description she must be heard to
be appreciated. Addison county audi
ences are inclined to be cOldly critical,
but the warmth of Thursday nights
audience showed that the best is recog-
niZed.

Chicago Record


Count Boni de CaStellane has met NJ.
de Rodays on the field of honor and in
ficted upon him wound which will
give him some Inconvenience and lay
him up for "A week. This settles matters
very clearly; NJ. de Castellane is in
nOcent of the charges which De Rodays
brought against him. The presence of
his bullet in his adversary's body affords
its own convincing proof. The wound
is sufficiently serious to show this, and
yet not grave enough to give ground for
the belief that NJ de Rodays in his mis-
representations was guilty of wilful
falsehOOd. If he had intentionally mis-
stated facts the truth undoubtedly would
have been shown ON the dueing field
and NJ. de Rodays would have been
lucky TO get off with his life. AS it is,
the result affords proof of Boni's in
noceDce and of the unintentional char
acter of De Rodays's wrongdoing. The
shallowness of the latter's claims is ex-
posed in the fact that he did not even hit
his adversary. Had he done so the YER
diet against Castellane would have been
overwhelming. If each had shot the
other it would have been known also
that while Boni was guilty as charged
his opponent was actuated by malign
motives in making the charges. For
tunately it Is unnecessary to speculate
upon this proposition. NJ. de Rodays,
who was first punched into fighting and
then shot for doing so, may not be ready
to view the matter in a proper and un-
preludiced spirit, but Boni's innocence
has been demonstrated to the satisfaction
of such persons as still believe that the
duel is not merely foolish and wicked
survival of an age of barbarism.

The concert and drama given for the
benefit of st. Mary's Roman Catholic
church on Saturday and Monday even
ings filled the town hall each night, and
added a handsome sum to the church
funds. The concert was exceptionally
good. Vittum's Middlebury orchestra
made decided hit, and that Mrs. G.. ID.
Miner was accompanist is enough to say
about the excellence of that part of the
program. Mrs. c. Constantneau, the
sOparno soloist, is one of the most pleas
ing artists that bave appeared before a
Middlebury audience. She possesses a
voice of marvellous power, with the rare
quality of sweetness as we'll. Mr.. Con-
stantineau as an impersonator Is I'M
usually clever. The Mulqueen sisters of
Burlington, with piano and violin num-
bers, scored an immediate success, whice
Miss Lottie Dillon as "Llttle Black Me-
was as natural as il she had been
"Topsy's" child, All parts were well
taken. The chorus was well trained.

selection. The drama Monday night,
"By Force of Impulse" was if possible
presented even better than last year.
