A typical Athenian breeze is blowing
in and around Boston and its Harvard
annex. Like the inhabitants OF the
ancient Athens these moderns spend
their time in academic discussions of
new and strange and usually very
senseless things. The University COM
munity is rent by the question, Shall
Harvard make President Mckinley a
LID? The President is advertised to
be present at the commencement in
June, the guest of Senator Hosr. 1t
is proposed to confer upon the Chief
Magistrate the degree of Doctor Of
Laws, when certain Of the Athenians
rise up and protest in phrase that may
not be classical after the Greek models,
but is exceeding plain. The moral
sense of certain of the anti-imperialist
sectalso is offended by the proposition to
attach the mystic sign to name which
is the embodiment of usurpation and
bad faith, and all tho sins OF the deca-
logue. And 80 it goes. But the Presi-
dent may take this view of the matter:
If his escape from oblivion should hang
solely on this title from Harvard, he
might as we'll give up the fight and
sink into Lethe's floods.

quire this, and there is probably no
gainsaying the truth OF the Cuban rep
resentation in this particular
Trade has been at the b)tt) n Of
great many political upheavals. 1t
was the original, inspiring cause of the
American revolution, it began the re-
beliiou OF the South, it was the primal
source of Cuba's troubles with Spain.
Satisfactory relations with Cuba will
depend more on the adjustment of
trade with the island in accordance
with natural laws than on the provis-
ions embodied in the formulation OF
political relations with the mainland.
The New York Legislature has en-
acted law empowering women tax
payers in townships and villages TO vote
on all questions which involve the
proposition to expend public money.
This vote is only the extension to all
the towns aud villages of the State OF a
right of which the taxpaying women in
certain cities had already possessed for
years under special municipal charters.
The law makes a discrimination in
favor of women taxpayers in country
election districts and against those in
city election districts which may yet
call for discussion before the courts.
Respecting this enactment the Brook
Ign Eagle suggests that "Beiore any
one concludes too much concerning
this act, he will do well to find out how
many propositions to expend public
money are ever put to vote at all in
purely rural regions, how many women
taxpayers there are in those regions,
and how many of them would rather
not vote than vote" This suggestion
derives force from the operation OF
similar laws in other States, in Vermont
for example. Taxpaying women are
empowered to vote in the elections OF
school officers, but the woman voter
has always been conspicuous by her
absence from these elections. Also in
Massachusetts,. In Montpelier some
400 names of taxpaying women are on
the check list, but one is never seen in
meetings for municipal elections.

1t is from Springfield, Mass, where
the Filipino newspaper, miscalled the
Republican, as the Eagle Of Brooklyn
puts it, is printed, that Sixto Lopez, late
ly the secretary Of Aguinaldo, appro O.
priately announces that he is through.
Only the other day he declared that
Aguinaldo had not been caught, then
tn he had not recanted. And then
he limited that he had been bought off.
Now Lopez is getting tired of the husks
which the swine do eat, or of filling
himself up with the east wind, and is
going to Manila either to file or 10
market his acceptance OF what Judge
Gaynor calls "the existing order of
things" He announces, for he is q
good press agent of himself, that he
will only make one more speech before
leaving, and that in San Francisco AS
no one will be required to listen to
him, he can as well as not be let talk.

The visit of the Cuban committee to
Washington has been not only pleas
ant to all concerned, but it has been
productive of much good. The doubts
which the Cubans said they and their
fellow members of the constitutional
convention had as to the construction
of that clause of the Plat amendment
in which the right was reserved by this
government to intervene whenever in
its judgment it might become neces-
sary to preserve order in Cuba was all
cleared away by the explanations made
by President Mckinley and Secretary
Root, and they now see the establishing
of naval coaling stations in Cuba by the
United States in much more favor
able light than they did when the mat
ter was discussed in the convention.
Those two clauses of the Plat amend
ment are the only ones that were seri-
ously opposed by the convention.
Members of the committee have said
privately that they would recommend
to the convention when they return,
which will be at once, that the Platt
amendment be accepted, and have ex-
pressed the opinion that the recon-
mendation will be favorably acted upon.
The Cubans did great deal of talking
about the general desire OF the people
of the island to obtain reductions in our
tariff on sugar and tobacco, even after
they were made to understand fully
that the tariff was question that Con-
gress only could deal with. President
Mckinley, however, told tn EN- that af-
ter the Cuban government had been Or
ganized, he would be pleased to appoint
commissioners to negotiate with it's
representatives a commercial reci-
procity treaty.

As from some church tower swings the silvery bel,
and it will reach the last verge of any
assemblage that can gather within or
around those historic precincts.
And the name is legion of the other
sons of the towns of this county scat
tered over the States of New England,
the West, the South, the Pacific coast,
and the world at large. They are not
all admirals, or captains who ought to
be admirals, or United States Senators,
but they are great company of sons
and daughters, eminent in the activi-
ties that have enlisted their talents and
energies. The records, written or I'M
written, will reveal their names. Ask
them all to come; ask them with
the magnetic cordially that attracts
irresistibly, and they will come throng-
ing home aud the week will be not
able one in the history of town and
county. The Capital town and county
ought to have the most notable cele-
bration in the State. Men, material,
association, locality, all combine to
this end, and that result will unques-
tionably be the full realization of the
mid-week of August.
A public meeting for the considera-
ton of the matter of this celebration,
and to organize for the work of pro-
noting it, will soon be called. Mean
time the exiled children of Old Wash
ington county, everywhere, should be
making their arrangements for the pill
grimage to the old hearthstone.

Old Home Week.

How shall the towns Of Washington
county, individually, or how shall they
in their associated body, celebrate "Old
Home Week." the State festival estab-
lished by the Legislature at its recent
ssion2 The festival week is the peri
cd which includes the anniversary of
the battle of Bennington, August 16,
and will therefore begin on Sunday,
August IL, and end on Saturday, the
17lh.
The period of time over which the
celebration will extend admits, there
fore, of celebrations by the towns local
ly and OF a grand gala day together.
On the part of Montpelier the JOURNAL
suggests that the celebration here be
made a county assemblage, and the
towns OF the county be asked to join
in the festivities. The towns do not
touch elbow in social or festive way
30 often as is conducive to the best of
fellowship. Montpelier has some nota-

MUST REACH THE
ASIATIC COAST
Cable Company to Be Asked
To Make Known
Plans.

WASHINGTON, October 12.-Attorney
ence with President Roosevelt as to the
propositions of the Commercial Gable
Company to lay a cable from the United
States to the Philippines by way of Ha-
wall and Guam. Knox advised the pres
ident to take no action at present, but
to await further information as to the
purpose of the company after its cable
was completed to the Philippines. It is
deemed desirable to know whether it
would extend it's own line to China or
would make arrangements with the Eng
lish company that already had a cable
from Hongkong TO Manila. The Attor-
ney General regarded it as very impor
tant that there should be complete line
from the United States to the Philip
pines and the continent of Asia, as in
case of war it might be necessary for
the United States to not only control
cable line to the Philippines, but also to
control a line from the Philippines to
China or some other point in Asia.
The matter of the Spanish concessions
granted in 1898 to the English company,
giving it an exclusive franchise for cable
connections in the Philippines, was care
fully considered. Attorney General Knox
advised the president that TINS exclusive
franchise would not hold. He cited the
recent action by the Transvaal Commits
sion, which held that concessions granted
by the Boer government in the Transvaal
would not be recognized as valid by the
British government.
The probability is that no definite ac-
ton will be taken by the president in re-
lation 10 the companys proposition until
the company shall have made clear its
intentions regarding the cable line be-
TWEEN the Philippines and China.

KipIing on American Girls.

As to the maiden, she is taught to re-
spect herself, that her fate is in her own
hands and that she is the more stringently
bound by the very measure of the liberty
SO freely accorded to her. Wherefore, in
her own language. 'she has a lovely
time" with about 200 or 800 boys who
have sisters of their own and very &C.
curate perception that if they were I'M
worthy of their trust syndicate of other
boys would probably pass them into a
world where there is neither marrying
nor giving in marriage.
And so time goes till the maiden knows
the other side of the house-knows that a
man is not demigod nor a mysteriously
yelled monster, but an average, egotis-
teal, vain, gluttonous, but, on the whole,
companionable, sort of person, to be sooth-
ed, fed and managed-knowledge that
does not come to her sister in England
till after a few years of matrimony. And
then she makes her choice.
The golden light touches eyes that are
full of comprehension, but the light is
golden none the less, for she makes just
the same sweet, irrational choice that an
English girl does With this advantages:
She knows a little more, has experience
in entertaining, insight into the business
es, employ and hobbies of men, gathered
from countless talks with the boys and
talks with the other girls who find time
at those mysterious conclaves to discuss
what Tom, Ted, Stuke or Jack have been
doing. Thus it happens that she is a COM
panion in the fullest sense of the word of
the man she weds, jealous for the inter
est of the firm, to be consulted in time Of
stress and to be called upon for help and
sympathy in time of danger. Pleasant it
is that one heart should beat for you, but
it is better when the head above that
heart has been thinking hard on your be-
half and when the lips that are always
very pleasant to kiss give wise COUNSEL
