The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1901-08-21

European press comments upon
American policy, or what the European
editors regard as such, are always more
or less amusing, but those cabled to
this country, alleging that the existing
trouble between Colombia and Venez-
uela has been instigated by the govern
rnent of the United States for the pur-
pose of opening the way for an excuse
to take forcible possession of the 18TH
mus of Panama, are both amusing and
ridiculous. The European editors
write of the gathering of great fleets of
American warships on both sides of the
isthmus, when, as matter of fact, there
isn't United States warship within ten
days sail of either the Atlantic or the
Pacific side of the isthmus, and only
three, two small vessels and the battle
ship Iowa, have been ordered to Pana-
ma waters. Neither Secretary Hay nor
acting Secretary Hackett, both of whom
are familiar with the sitII there
has any idea that the ships will have
any serious work to do after they ar
rive there, which will probably not be
before the first week in September.
Publications in American yellow jour
nails in measure are responsible for
the misinformation of European edit
ors. Our own people know how much
their wild statements are worth; Euro
peans do not.

The statistics of the native popula-
ton of Hawaii for the last half century
present an interesting study, showing
a decrease so large and steady that, if
it is kept up another half century, there
will be practically neither natives nor
descendants of natives left on the
island, In 1853, when the first authen-
tic census was taken, there were II oil
natives on the island. Each succeed
ing census has shown a smaller mum.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
t'ized world. Your mothers and grand.
mothers never Thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous
prostration or heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
sys'cm and sop fermentation of un-
digestel food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dun and
bad with headaches and other aches.
Yea only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there IS nothing serious

was most Interesting sheet. II
is pretty good to get paper once
In whilo to see how all your old

This is Christmas day. Every
man, woman and child has hoin

using them. 1t is q great deal

This is certainly an ideal eli
mate. | meet people every day
from Iowa and all over the north.
This is a great town for tourists,
and as this is a 200 room hotel
there is a crowd Of them here. l
was tod by the proprietor Of the
hotel that this is the best climate
in the country for catarrh and
lung trouble. Now take San An
tonia as city it is quite antique.
Its buildings are old Spanish
styles, and there are a number Of
places for a stranger to visit.
First of all there is the Alamo
which was built in l7l8 which is
prominent in history, as the Mex
leans during the war with Texas
nearly destroyedit. One hundred
and seventy-one Texans fought
against 1900 Mexicans but we're
finally defeated. l was in the
Alamo building and saw the paint
ing of the "Fall of the Alamo
also several Mexican souvenirs
and trophies of the war. Then
there is the U. s. arsenal, a very
interesting place to visit as we'll
as the Ostrich Farm, Sulphur
Springs and San Pedro park, a
very nice place to spend your
leisure time as we'll as your money.
The streets here are very narrow
and the buildings old fashioned
which look very queer to anyone
from the North where the build
ings are built SO much different
and more modern. About three
persons walking side by side on
the sidewalk here would obstruct
all traffic. You walk up the street
here in the mornings about 8
O'Clock and on every corner you
will find q Mexican selling candies.
II you should happen to pass
down sunny side street along
about q o'clock in the afternoon
you will see them sitting on steps
of Railways asleep. Well YOU
