The COuntry's Worst Enemies.

The worst enemies of the United
States are at home, citizens of the re-
public. There is no anarchist so ma
lign, in respect Of his country's well
fare, there is no malevolence of indi-
viduals or organizations that is COM
parable with that which inspires the
utterances of newspapers OF the type
of the Springfield Republican and EUen-
ing Post of New York.
In any issue to which the govern
ment of the country of the publ shers,
editors or managers of these papers is
party, they are the constant and peg
tiferous allies of the people opposed or
unfriendly to this republic, sedulously
stirring up and encouraging opposition
to the government at home and abroad,
melting it's enemies to hostile courses,
exulting in any inimical act or expression
from foreign source, always and sys-
tematically imputing the worst motives
to the administration, charging it ever
with pre-designed and pre-determin ed
bad faith, with moral obliquity and de-
pravity that are an echo from the dark
est ages of human depravity in govern
ing, in the countries most distinguish
ed for disregard of human rights and
personal honor.
The menace of tariff war by Russia
is hailed with ecstasy and exploited for
all it's worth in evil promise for their
country, every phase or incident of the
passing difference between two friend
ly nations magnified and distorted, per-
adventure they may infict stab upon
their own government. The Cubans
are frantically melted to adopt the
measures and pursue the courses most
fatal to their own welfare, the motives
of their savior, the government of
the United States, violently maligned
and its purposes always blackened with
charges of peridy and sordid rapacity
which have no parallel in history. And
all this III respect of the best govern
ment on this round earth, whose sacri-
fees for humanity have no parallel in
history, whose purposes are above re-
proach or impeachment except by the
jackal and hyena patriots whose in
stincts are as depraved and ghoulish as
are those of their quadru pedal proto-
tYpes.

The Indiana Lynching,

The people in the neighborhood of
Terre Haute, Ind, seem to be like
those in Georgia and New Jersey, for
they have just lynched negro who
confessed that he had killed young
white woman. He was taken from the
jail in Terre Haute on Tuesday after
noon, hit in the head with hammer
and dragged to bridge, where he was
hanged from one of the timbers. Then
his body was taken ashore and burned
in the sight of crowd of 5000 people.
The sheriff feared trouble and made
preparations to protect his prisoner, but
the mob was ahead of him and got the
man before the militia arrived.
If the Terre Haute people had been
patient, the man would have been pun
ished by due process of law. He was
described by the girl before she died,
aud he confessed the crime. But pas-
sion was aroused and the virtue of pa
tience was ignored. Today the people
responsible for the lynching ought to
feel ashamed of themselves, but it is
not at all probable that they will be 80
penltent as to give themselves up to
the authorities ard submit to punish
ment for their vic alton OF law. Neither

What Is a COpperhead?

A copperhead is Democrat, or any
other sort of partisan, whose master
passion ia to pull down the American
flag, even under fire, and to shoot into
the backs of American soldiers the mo-
ment they are set in motion. The cop
perhead is often ravenously for war in
time of peace, and always Indignantly
for peace in time of war. When q
man denounces President Mckinley for
settling up the necessary sequel of the
war in the Philippines, sends literature
to the islands 10 demoralize American
soldiers and to encourage the Tagals,
and then goes to banquet along with
Pettigrew and Lentz to praise Abra-
ham Lincoln, the Globe Democrat VEN
lures to say that there is no sincerity
OF decency in the pretended tribute

sons for vetoing Morgan's application
for promotion under that law. The
country ought to know what sort of
men are on the quarter deck as well as
Gin the wardroom and steerage." The
people, and the representatives. of the
people, are entitled to know all about a
man whom they are asked to honor
above others, and particularly his
seniors, in his profession who have rem
dered the country distinguished service.
1t is possible that the country, and Con-
gress, may regard such service as Gun
ner Morgan aud his comrades rendered
in Manila Bay and at Santiago de
Cuba, and in other actions in the late
war, as more desirable, more nee .ssal y
to the efficiency OF the navy, more im-
pOrtant in maintaining for this branch
of the national military service a whole
some respect among the powers of the
world, than ability to shine in the ball
rooms of Newport or Bar Harbor, or to
eat and drink with grace and aptitude
around the mahogany of official and
titled Europeans.
SIMPSONS objections TO the admis-
sion of the Morgans of the gundeck to
the ranks of commissioned officers
would debar from the service its future
John Paul Joneses, Decaturs, Stock
tons, Porters and Farraguts, and many
ano her famous naval chief whose en-
try to the service, like that of the men
whose names are here mentioned, was
not from the rortals of the Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis, as some of the most
eminent commanders of the army, from
Washington, Greene, jackson, Scott
and Taylor, down to Miles, Chaffee
and other officers eminent on land in
the war with Spain and in China, came
from the ranks of volunteers.
This is republic, and republican
methods will still prevail in choosing
and rewarding the nations servants.
There is much in Admiral SIMPSONS
objection to Morgan's promotion that
is unpleasantly remindful of his utter
neglect TO mention Admiral Schley in
his report of the battle of Santiago de
Cuba. Unwittingly and unavoidably
new phase has been gwen to he Schley-
Sampson controversy, and the contri-
button did not come from the parti-
sans of the former.

Some Considerations.

Since suppositions if nothing more
abound to the effect that Gen. McCul-
Tough and DR.. Webb, each railroad
magnate, aspire to the honor of being
Governor of Vermont, two considera-
tions present themselves to the aver
age Vernonter. The first is, whether
the State has not among its regular
citizens, men who spend their days aud
nights here, some one who is capable
of filing that post2 Secondly, must
Governor be necessarily chosen from
among railroad presdents2 1t strikes
US that there is no need of going to
New YORK city to find governor for
Vermont, and that it is high time that
other interests besides those of rail-
roads should be consulted in selecting
the executive of this State. Landmark.

Bring Up the Rear.

The escape of the Morgan and Samp-
son letters from the office OF the secre-
tary of the navy, it is said, was through
an alleged leak there which the secre-
tary is trying to locate.
A leak is sometimes not without it's
advantages. There are other things in
the office of the navy department, or
elsewhere in the inner shrines of
officialdom, respecting the award, or
non-award, of honors to the heroes of
the Santiago fight that the public would
like to know and ought to know. 1t is
said in Washington that the leakage in
question has settled adversely the mat.
ter of Admiral SIMPSONS promotion to
the grade OF vice admiral, and probably
Schley's also. In the Senate naval
committee the friends of Admiral
Sampson, it is stated, have formally
abandoned all hope of securing his fur
Their advancement. The committee
has determined not to report to the
Senate the names either of Schley or
Sampson, and the bill to establish the
grade of vice admiral has been prac-
tically abandoned.
The country ought not to be greatly
grieved. 1t is barely possible that
both have received honors and promo
tons fully commensurate with their
services. 1t may be just and wise TO
stop boosting these two men till others
who have been neglected have been
brought up to the line of their deserts.

The Administration Triumphs.

Senator Spooner'S resolution pro-
viding for the government of the
Philippines, and the Platt amendment
to the army bill declaring the govern
ment's purposes with respect to Cuban
independence, were adopted yesterday
in the Senate, the former by 45 yeas
to 27 nays, the latter, 40 to 20. These
are very emphatic majorities. They in
dictate a unanimity of sentiment on two
questions of first importance that is
gratifying and reassuring. None the
less satisfactory to the great majority
of the country is the circumstance of
the equally emphatic rejection of the
various amendments proposed by the
opposition, intended to tie the hand, of
the administration and saddle upon it
some of the notions of the anti-impe-
rialists in respect of the course of the
government in dealing with affairs in
Cuba and the Philippines.
The Spooner resolution provides that
all military, civil and judicial powers
necessary to govern the Philippine
islands, until otherwise provided by
Congress, shall be vested in the Pres
ident and the Philippine commission.
The details of the measure provide for
full reports to Congress, for the estab-
lishment of civil government in the
islands, for maintaining and protecting
the inhabitants in the free enjoyment
of their liberty, property and religion.
The measure is provisional, and its
adoption is the only rational action
Congress can take in the matter at
present.
The establishment of a permanent
government will come later, when Con-
gress is better and more fully informed
as to what will be needed in perma-
nent code for the islands. The COM
mission in whose hands the govern
ment of the islands is placed, under the
President, is composed, not of five des-
pots, as Senator Hoar with his charac-
teristic candor and mildness terms
them, but five American citizens, emil
nent for all the qualities that go to
make up an American citizen of the
first rank. They are imbued with the
principles of free government, they
love liberty, they differentiate between
liberty and license, among them are
scholars and eminent lawyers, and
browning all their qualities of the head
is their ingrained regard for the rig hts
of men and morality that takes into
account their full responsibility under
the authority conferred upon them.
The Cuban amendment to the army
bill has been published in the JOUR-
NAL. 1t enumerates eight conditions
the United States will deem essential
to insure the permanent independence
Of Cuba, the welfare of its inhabitants
and the protection of the interests OF
the United States, and for which Cuba
will be expected to provide by treaty or
in the constitution its representatives
adopt. Reasonable assurance of a
government stable in fact, security for
the future, fidelity to obligations as
sumed, pac fication that is more than
skin deep, are the "irreducible condi-

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow Of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS emulsion
of cod-liver oil. 1t sets the
whole body going again-man
woman and child.
Well send you little to ty II you like.

his prayers. For example:

Local Politics NOn-Partisan.

The city OF Montpelier started in to
do business on the non-partisan baeis
and the plan has succeeded so we'll that
its abandonment is not for a moment
contemplated. The mayor is elected,
not because he is Republican or
Democrat, but because he is well fitted
for the office, and the same rule applies
to the aldermen and other city officials.
There has been less friction in the
Montpelier municipal machine than in
any other in the State, we believe. The
Democrats have had fair chance at
representation, as citizens, not as par
tlsans. This is the sensible method.
Why should any one party appropriate
all the local offices from mayor and
selectmen to pound keeper, just be-
cause it has the power2 What has a

BELIEVES IN POLYGAMY.
A Salt Lake Tribune Special Says
Apostle Grant is not Wei
coined by Japanese.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 1.-Two months
ago Al ostle Hebsr j. Grant OF Salt Lake
passed through Tacoma, accompanied by
two other Mormons, en- route to Japan,
whittier they were sent to introduce Nor
monism in that country. They have
besn holding meetings at Yokohama and
Toxic, and Apostle Grant has given out
several interviews stating tho object OF
the work Of himself and associates.
He has raised a storm Of Indignation
in the cities named by stating in an in-
terview: I'VE still believe that, under
certain restrictions. honorable men
should be allowed to take additional
wives with the consent Of the first wife"
The japan MRil and other papers have
protested loudly against this counte-
nancing of polygamy, and urge that ho-
tells should not quarter Grant and his
CO. workers.
He has printed numerous letters in
papers explaining their position, and
stating that they do not teach polygamy,
but will fully respect tho laws OF Japan.
The Japan Mail claims that the teach
ing OF men, who admit their belief In
system of plural wives, cannot be very
strong against polygamy, and has aroused
great indignation against their further
proselyting in Japan.
