lures, or no love at all for paintings or
statuary.
For those who have delight in the
productions of the brush, the pencil or
the chisel, no word Of exhortation, or
of enforcement of the project in ques-
ton, ought to be needed, and none
ought to be necessary for any citizen OF
Montpelier who has at heart, in their
widest scope, the interest and good
fame of the capital town of Vermont.
1t does not seem likely that exhortation
to interest and acceptance, in this case,
will be required when the project is
fully understood and its relation to the
welfare and importance OF Montpelier
becomes apparent. The suggestion of
an art school here is new. Ii it
were proposed to introduce some in
dustry or business not already estab-
lished and among the settled facts OF
the city, that would be a proposition
whose desirability the community is
accustomed to canvass. The material
advantages could be estimated and
judged by familiar standards.
The line of exposition and argument
pursued by Prof. Burgess is probably
something of a surprise to the great
majority of the people locally. That
the idea of such an art school in Mont
pelier is not chimerical, or impracti-
cable, that the elements, the equipment,
of q successful school exist here, or
may be easily and fully supplied, the
familiarity of the eminent gentleman
with the subject he discusses in the
JOURNAL and whose possibilities he
outlines, is an ample assurance. Pro-
fessor Burgess is fully informed in the
matter, he has no question Of its prac-
ticability or its final success, if Mont
pelier shall adequately aid the enter
prise with its moral and financial sup
port.
individuals who may not be moved
by esthetlc considerations to contribute
their aid, but who are Influenced by
material considerations, or who have a
pride in helping on anything that may
add to the good fame and Importance
OF their town, ought certainly to come
to the assistance of a project that will
attract to Montpelier and quarter with
in the town the 200 to 300 art students
and their instructors which Prof. Bur.
CESS sees assembling here in the sum-
mer months, in the due course OF the
evolution of his idea. No one can be
80 uncaring for the welfare of his town
as to refuse his continued support to a
proposition of this kind. Assured OF
its feasibility the three hundred sub.
scribers to associate membership in the
Wood Art Gallery needed to insure the
founding of the school ought to be
forthcoming.
What Prof. Burgess has to say in
this matter is worthy of the immediate
and very careful attention of this PEG,
Pile. Seize this tide in the affairs OF
men which, taken at its food, in new
directions may lead Montpelier on to
fortune.

Is burning at the stake deterrent?
Has the crime for which negroes have
been burned alive, tortured to death
in ways and by means that recall the
worst tales of medieval cruelty, disap-
peared from the South? Has it's COM
mission appreciably diminished, or has
it increased? Have lynching, burning,
carving alive, torturing with hot irons,
in hot wrath and vengeful passion,
proved superior, as deterrent agencies,
to the orderly, solemn, deliberate and
certain courses of the lawp Another
of these shocking crimes and resulting
occurrences in the South goes to show
that there is nothing in the record of

If it was 80 easy for Schley to coal
his ships at sea in May, 1898, when off
Santiago, what was the matter with
coaling the Massachusetts off the same
port, July 8 of that year? Why did
Sampson send the battleship to Guam
tanamo, forty miles away, for coal
when, as the event proved, her services
might be needed at any hour? AT the
same time, why did he 60 with the New
York, the second Of the only two YES
sells in the feet known to be match
for the Spanish cruisers in point Of
speed, ten miles away, when he might
have gone in launch or one OF the
small vessels of the feet? The Span
iards saw their opportunity and i'm
proved it. The Oregon's wonderful
and unlooked-for speed and work upset
their calculations. But this redemp-
ton came from Captain Clark and his
ship. 1t was not in Sampson's calcula-
tions. If the inquiry by the naval
board next month should 60 as deep as
it ought the departments hero, rather
than the accused, might be the severest
sufferer. Had Schley done many Of
the things that Sampson did, or that
were one under his eye, or left
undone, interrogation would be quite
continuous, and some things might be
found to be more inscruitable than any
of the acts alleged against Schley.

1t must be acknowledged that the

aroused in the Russian mind by the

An Important Issue.

The attempt now being made to con-
solidate the Frisco and Memphis rail-
roads presents a question of tremend-
GUS import to each individual citizen
of the state.
On the 30th day of October, 1875,
the people of Missouri, by practically
unanimous vote, adopted their present
state constitution. That constitution,
which is held in sacred venerstion by
three and half millions of people,
who believe that every line and every
sentence in it means what it says and
that it is binding alike upon every
citizen and every corporation under
its protection, contains a plain. une-
quivocal section prohibiting, in express
terms, the consolidation of PARALLEL or
competing lines of railroad within the
state of Missouri.
This constitution went into effect on
the 30th day of November, 1875, and
from that day to this has been the Or
ganic law of the state. The adoption
OF the constitution was followed by
legislative enactments providing the
necessary legal machinery for enforc-
ing this prohibitory clause of the con-
stitution, and prescribing penalties for
its violation, and the language both OF
the constitution and statute Is so plain,
simple and easy to understand that
the proverbial wayfaring man could
not err as to its meaning or misunder-
stand its force and application. 1t is
neither obscured by ambiguity of ex-
preston nor rendered uncertain by the
employment of words or terms suscep-
tible of double Interpretation.
So plain. indeed, is the law govern
ing the matter that the legal advisors
of the two railroads have found it nec-
essary to resort to the subterfuge OF
incorporating under the laws of Kan
sas in order. If possible, to escape the
direct prohibition of the constitution
and statutes of Missouri. This, they

Increasing the Army.

Following close upon the permanent
increase of the United States army
comes the adoption by the British Par
lament of so-called army reform
measure which is In reality u bill for
the increase of the English army. The
British army bill, proposed by the
Secretary OF War. adds $4,000 regu-
lars to the standing army and an equal
~ aggregate number to the three vol
untary military organizations known
as the militia. the yoemanry and the
volunteers. The forces for homo de-
tense are brought nominaliy TO nearly
700, 900 men.

nations of the world should feel COM

all this present trouble, there is a total
of but $40. 900.
The truth must surely impress itself
upon the minds OF the American peo-
pie that Mr.. Mckinley and his adyis-
ers stand ready to go to any lengths in
their servility to the will OF the trusts.
There was absolutely no reason for the
countervailing duty on Russian sugars,
except that its imposition would help
to pay the Republican obligation for
the large contributions made by the
Sugar Trust to Mr.. McKinley's cam
paign fund. II a general trade war
shall now be declared by Russia, war
in which we stand to lose hundred
fold more than is possible to Russia.
the loss must be charged up to the
Republican administration acting un-
der the orders of the Sugar Trust.
The Republican method of paying
its campaign debts may be good
thing for the Republican party and its
creditors, the trusts, but it is a bad
thing for the American people. The
trouble is that the debts are paid by
taking the money out of the peoples
pockets. And this gets tiresome after
time. The time of its tiresomeness
is now being reached. st. Louis Re-

Popular Vengeance Wreaked.

That is curious story from Arkan-
sas in which 1t is stated that commit
tee of citizens gave white man five
hundred lashes for having placed the
life of negro in jeopardy.
1t seems that grave charge was
brought against this negro, such as
usually terminates at the end OF rope.
As was fortunate in this case, the VIC
TINS life was spared for q trial before
a jury. when he was found guilty and
sentenced to death. Before the date
was reached the woman implicated con-
fessed that she had perjured herself,
and did 80 at the instigation of her
husband.
1t may we'll be imagined that the
people at large were indignant, and
the determination 10 protect woman
hood was switched around in order to
get rid Of a dangerous disturber. The
lashes inflicted were numerous and
severe. While the whole proceeding
was unlawful, there will be few to
sympathize with the victim who had
given such cause for indignation.
The incident would illustrate the me-
cessity for cool judgment in the midst
of great clamor produced by alleged
CRIME, and emphasizes the necessity
of awaiting the action of court OF
justice in order that the whole truth
may be known.-Atldasta Constitution.

militia is a queer commentary upon
the apparent tendency toward peace.
In fact it may be regarded as indicat-
ing that this tendency is only apparent.
Those increases also demonstrate that
the English colonial system which is
now being adopted by the United States
requires large standing army and a
great outlay OF money for mili4ary pur-
poses. Great Britain and the United
States appear to be moving side by
side. Which will first fall into the

no doubt hope, will give the federal
courts Jurisdiction of the matter, in
case an attempt is made by Missouri
officials to call them to account for so
fragrant a defiance of Missouri's laws.
But in the light of section 38 of article
xii of the constitution of Missouri it is
difficult to see anything in that move
ment upon which they can hang the
shadow of a hope of evasion. That
section reads as follows:
''If any railroad company organized
under the laws of this state shall con-
solidate. by sale or otherwise, with
any railroad company organized under
the laws of any other state or of the
United States the same shall not there
by become a foreign corporation; but
the courts of this state shall retain
jurisdiction in all matters which may
arise as if said consolidation had not
taken place." etc.
Suppose they organize new cor
poration under the laws of Kansas, and
go through the form of a pretended
''sale" of both roads to that corpora
tion, they are met by the provisions
just quoted, which positively prohibits
a consolidation by such means, and
jurisdiction is still retained ssin all
matters which may arise" and Mltsou-
ri courts can not be deprived of that
jurisdiction without destroying the
right of the people of the state to make
their own constitution. Can it be pos
sible that the officials and attorneys
engaged in this unlawful enterprise
hope to induce the federal courts to set
aside and annul the constitution of a
sovereign state? Could the United
States courts override state constitu-
ton, even il they were inclined to take
such revolutionary step? The or
ganization OF foreign corporation by
the parties interested in this attempt
to override the constitution of Mlssou-
ri can have no other object. Is is q
