Some Phases OF the Right OF
Self Defense.

The address of Hon. Jonathan Ross
before the Vermont Bar Association,
at it's annual meeting on Tuesday was
u discourse OF general interest and con-
tain I'd suggestions of vital importance
to the perpetuation OF free institutions.
lts spirit and purpose were indicated
by citing in the opening paragraph the
admonition OF the Bill of Rights which
constitu es the first chapter of the Con-
stitution OF Vermont. NJ. Ross said:
ave are admonished by the Bill of
Rights that the fire quent recurrence
to fund 4mental princlp.es'
ia absolutely necessary TO preserve
the blessings of liberty and keep gov
ernment free | have chosen as the
theme OF my address some phases of
the very familiar subjec', the right Il
self defense. l sha not treat of Its ap-
plicatiou TO the Individual man. The
right OF self defense is a God.given
right, not dependent on, nor gwen, nor
taken away by the ordinances or stat
utes OF man. 1t has much broader
and higher appl cAuon than to indlv-
uals. 1t has always been recognz ii
by international law as one of the high
est, most far-reaching of national
rights. Its its application to some Of
the new and weighly gu, stions which
have recently arisen aud are nov aris-
ing in the life Of this nation that pre-
pos bri' fly focal Your attention."
Mr.. Ross discussed aud elucldated
the right OF sell defense IN ia spplcs-
ton 10 the life OF nation. What an
individual may do himself being
blameless-in the exercise of this
right, the nation in like manner and
for like cause may do. Ia much
greater variety of occasions than to the
individual the right applies to the ma
ton. 1t furnishes the only substantial
ground for the Munroe ID icLrine. Tho
recent war with Spain was but another
asseI ion OF this right. No apparent
reason exists why it hould not be ex-
ere ised in determining the new and
far-r, aching questions which have come
rs the result Of the war with Spain.

A Practical Solution.

The Mortified NeUs comes to the
support OF the petition of the people Of
Montpelier for better passenger facili-
ties FRI m the Central Vermont railway.
The Netos believes the running of
trains from the Junction into Monlpel-
Ter would mean a considerable delay
for regular trains, which might work 10
the disadvantage of the road, aud that
there are other considerations which
might make it impossible for the ial-
road management to comply with the
suggestions in the petition. The Ne,Ds
then makes this alternative proposal
which may interest those who are in
terested:
The Neus believes that there is a
prac ical way of solving this difficulty,
and that is by putting Montpelier on
the main line Of the Central Vermont
railway. As the city cannot be moved
to the road, it would move the road to
the city by diverging the present line
from somewhere near West Berlin TO a
point possibly mewhat west of the
present station in Montpelier. Toe
cost would not be enormous, even in
sluding land damages, and quite likely
The CITY would be willing to undertake
b. settle the latter.
Such route when completed would
effect a handsome saving each year for
the railroad company, the additional
distance would be very small con-
sideration in the running time of the
trains and it would more than be met by
the time now consumed in the unload
ing OF bas gage at the juno ion. These
would be some Of the considerations,
sulside Of the more important one that
every patron of the road from or to
Montpelier and Barre would be better
accommoda Such a change would
undoubtedly mean additional business
for the road in time, brsides possibly
saving to that road business which in
future years it may lose if the present
state OF afftrs continues.
The NeWs believes that this idea will
sooner or later have the favorable con.
sideTation of both the city OF Nom
peller and the Central Vermont railroad

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.--Yesterday
was a memorable day IN the ochley in-
curry as tie giants OF tue battle OF Sau-

were in the witness chair.
AT the request of Mr.. Rsyner, Cap
tain Clark began description OF the
battle of July 3 "When we diecUv-
ered," he said, "the Spanish ships
coming cut, our feet closed IN at ouce
TO attack them. The SpanIards turned
10 the westward, breaking through cur
line, or crossing 1t, and our ships swung
II To the westward 10 pur, uIt. Butu
sides opened fire promptly and fired
rapidly. Dense smoke soon obscured
the vessels, making it difficult to dis
tingulsh them.
Tue Oregon ran between the Iowa
and Texas and the next ships 10 the
westward in our liue, and soon after We
sighted four Spanish ships ahead, ap.
parently unlDjureu at the lime. They
had gained 30 much ground that be
lieved they had been successful In at
tempting to escape, but II WAS soon
evident We were gaining at leas. on
one Of them, which aiterward proved
10 be the Maria Teresa, the fl ,gship,
and thought we should bring her to
close action but might be exposed to
the concentrated fire OF all the ships.
"Juet then the smoke Ii ted or broke
away to the left and discovered the
Brooklyn. She was well forward OF
our port beam and broadslde TO the
enemy's fleet. Her course was per-
haps little divergent from ours be-
cause the Oregon was attempting to
draw up upon the Teresa.
"The Brooklyn and Oregon main
tanned this relative position, bow and
quarter, approximately TO the end of
the battle, the Brooklyn steamlng
straight ahead as nearly as | could
judge, and engaging any and all OF he
Spanish ships, the Oregon eudeavoriny

most one, and when she was driven out
OF action anu pointed to the beach,
then pushed for the next one ahead,
and soon the entire feet was driven
