Gov. Taft's inaugural.

William H. Taft was inaugurated
governor of the Philippines July 81,
and in his address said in part: He
recounted what had been done to-
wards the creation of a civil govern
ment. The ultimate and most i'm
portant step, he said, will be taken
by the Congress of the United States,
but the actions taken thus far were
successive stages in a clearly for
mulated plan for making the terrific
ry of these islands ripe for perma-
nent civil government on more or
less popular basis AS a further
step, on September next, four exec
utive departments will be establish
ed. There will be a department of
the interior, of commerce and police,
of justice and finance, of public in
struction,. The conditions UNI
which the municipal governments of
the islands are to have their first
real test are trying. "he four
years war has pauperized many,
and its indirect effect in destroying
the habits of industry of those who
have been prevented from working
in the fields, or who have been lead
ing the irresponsible life of gueril-
las, is even more disastrous. Not
only war, but also the death from
diSeaSe of large Derceuta ore of the
carabaos which are indispensable to
the cultivation of rice and are great
ly needed in all agriculture, has
largely reduced the acreage of rice
and other staple products. Then
the pest of 1ocusts has been very
severe. In one province, and per-
haps more, gaunt famine may have
to be reckoned with. Poverty and
suffering in a country where ladron-
ism has always existed are sure to
make ladrones. He expressed the
hope that Congress would soon pro-
vide for the sale of public lands and
mines and for the granting of fran
chises. Commercial railroads,
loan companies, or land
banks and steamship companies on
~ await government sanction to
spring into being, he said. These
may remedy the poverty and suffer

an assault made upon them by burg
lars. They had retired and were
awakened shortly before midnight
by two men disguised as negroes,
who demanded from the old man
his money. He declared he had
none, when they pulled his wife
out of bed and tied her to a couch.
The old man showed fight and it
was not until after he had been Sc
verely cut on the head that the ruff
ians bound him and tied him to a
stove. The men then ramsacked the
house. They secured $166 in cash,
all the money the old people had,
and gold watch.

Shaffer, the leader of the great
steel strike, says this is the final
stand of labor against combined cap
ita1. 1t is test of the great
strength of a powerful labor organ
ization and a vast amount of capital.
1t may be long fight, ending in, a
decisive victory for one side; it may
end in a compromise or labor may
soon give up to the power of capital
and go back to work without secur-
ing what they now demand. The
issue of the strike is this: The
steel trust is composed of number
of subsidiary corporations and COM
binations. The Carnegie plant is
the largest and is non-union. Of
the others some are union and some
are non-union. The question is
shall the non-union mills be union
lied. The Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron and Steel workers first
demanded that the scale as to wag-
es and hours and other union regula-
tons should be also used in the non
union mills. Officials of the trust
refused to grant this on the ground
that it was demand to compel EN-
ployes in the non union mills to join
the union. Since the strike began
they have modified their demand to
the extent that the regulations be
extended only to those mills par
TALLY or wholly brought into their
organization since the beginning
of the strike. The leaders of both
sides have declared for a fight to the
finish.

Vermont Day at the Pan-American.

Vermont Day at the Pan Amer
can exposition was observed last
week Thursday. Eight hundred ma
tive Vermonters were present from
different parts of the country. In
the forenoon an informal reception
was held in the Vermont head
quarters.
At noon the beautiful Temple of
Music, where the exercises were
held, was filled to overlooking.
The president of the day was DR.. w.
d. Greene, president of the Buffalo
society of Vermonters, and in OPP
ening the exercises he paid a glow
ing tribute to his native state. Di-
rector General Buchanan of the ex-
position and Mayor Diehl of Buffalo
also spoke words of welcome. Gov.
Stickney responded in behalf of the
state. ''The old State of Vermont
still stands the sentinel of the
North, - said the governor. Con
tinuing on it's old lines, giving it's
best to the nation, its best in man,
it's best thought and best effort in
government, its best in all which
goes to make up prosperous, pro-
gressive, advancing nation of people
who believe in and who enjoy lib
erty regulated by law"
Senator Proctor was next intro
duced. "The people of Vermont, :"
the senator ,facetiously remarked,
enjoy a climate and possess a sort
of life which makes the best sort of
men and women. They are the rep
resentatives of men who have made
this country great and in the devel-
opment and the progress of the
United States Vermont has always
been to the fore and takes second
place to no State in the Union.
The principal address of the day
was made by Senator Dillingham;.
In his speech he cited the long list
of great men whom Vermont claims
as her native sons, whom she has
given to the nation, to the great
movement toward human progress
in which the United States has TAX
en- so prominent, so forcefu1 a part.
AS he mentioned Chief Justice Field
of Massachusetts,, Morton, Arthu i
Dorman B. Eaton, Henry ]. Ray
mond of New York, and Thaddeus
Stevens of Pennsylvania, Stephen
A. Douglass, the only man who was
able to cope with the immortal Lin
coin and draw from him those re-
markable qualities which made him
the great leader of the people in
their time of need, Eugene Field,
Robert G. Ingerso1l, Senators Car
penter and Spooner of, Wisconsin,
Chief Justices Stone, Be1den, Ben
ton and Brown of Minnesota, SEN
ator Thurston of Nebraska, Dewey
who discovered the Philippines for
us, and on down a long list of dis
tinguished men now in national and
State public offices, the audience APP
plauded enthusiastically "These
Names" said the Senator, "te1l the
story of Vermont. Senator H. w.
Hill of New York and Congressman
D. ]. Foster were the last speakers.
Following the Vermont day GER
emonies the Buffalo society of Yer
monters held it's annual meeting,
electing as its president, Charles c.
Farnham, son of Ex-Gov. Farnham
of this place.
In the evening Vermont had COM
plete possession of the New England
building, Gov. and Mrs. Stickney
giving a reception. The assem-
blage was a brilliant one, many
prominent Vermonters being in at
tendance.

Do you have a feeling of undue fullness
in the stomach, belchings, or sour or
bitter risings? These are but few of
the symptoms of the diseased stomach.
The worst thing which can be done
for the stomach in such case is to take
some tablet or powder which merely
gives temporary relief from discomfort.
The best thing to do is to begin the cure
of the disease by beginning the use of
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.

p,o,,,s Il, british Arr,cu,.ur..

The agricultural returns for 1900, just
issued, show that the decline of Brit
ish agriculture still pursues its painful
course. The area under corn crops in
Great Britain, which generation ago.
In 1870, was 9.548,O00 acres. has fallen
to 1885, 900 acres; that is to say it is
less by one-quarter than 1t was then.
The area under green crops has also
fallen almost as heavily while only
the acreage laid down in grass and
clover shows an increase. In horses,
cattle, sheep and pigs, there is slight
advance in the period, but not such
as to keep pace with the increase in
population or to compensate for the
diminished corn production. The
England which used to grow her own
corn and to feed herself is becoming
each year more dependent upon i'm.
portations.

The medieval university differed in
many respects from our idea of mod
ern university. 1t was primarily a
guild of teachers and scholars. formed
for common protection and mutual aid.
1t was republic of letters, whose
members were exempt from all serv-
ices private and public. all personal
taxes and contributions, and from all
civil procedure in courts of law. The
teaching function was often secondary
and often entirely overlooked. The
Scottish university from the begin
ming, however, emphasized the teach
ing function and created an atmos-
phere academic rather than civil or
political The early curriculum was
crude, but fully abreast OF the age,
comprising in the main, philosophy.
theology, canon and civil law. All in
struction was In Latin and the writing
of Latin dissertations was the daily
task of the student-a straight and
