How sweet the breath of the morning

Warming Up.

For the American people the chill of
the first contact with actual racing
waters is over, and has been communi-
Gated to their friends across the sea.
Columbia and Shamrock II have had
their first meet, and though the race
does not count in the series by reason
OF exceeding the time limit, the advan-
tage was distinctly with the old de-
fender, Columbia coming across the
finish line having lead of about half
mile. 1t was light weather race,
indicating the American boats superb
ority in light or shifting winds. In
the conditions existing on Thursday it
is said Shamrock ii did not make 30
good showing aa did her predecessor
OF two years ago. 1t remains to be seen
what the challenger can do in a good
stiff breeze.
In this connection, too, it is 10 be RI =
membered that Columbia's favorits air
is good thrashing wind Her most
signal victory over Shamrock in the
races of two years ago, was won in a
hard blow, and since that time-and in
the recent trials with Constitution-her
ability to sail with increased speed in
heavy weather has been frequently
proved. So there is a strong assurance
that the boat which is at present
the flag ship" of the hopes
of the American people will become, in
glorious civic association, the fitting
companion of Olympia in the story of
actual war.

that their terror consists in the impos-
sibility OF foreseeing when they will
happen. Any complacency that the
anarchistc leaders may feel in the
trouble that they have ere Gated will, we
hope, be removed by drastic concerted
measures against them. The United
States will lead the way with peculiar
satisfaction, and the European nations
may be trusted to assist.
America and England have long
been known as the two countries where
a man undergoes no disabilities for his
political opinions, and we do not think
that either country is likely to change
in this respect. But anarchy is not a
political opinon-its preachers, teach
ers and active members are simply and
solely pests of society and should be
remorselessly harried, even as a pack
of rabid wolves would be. The whole
OF Europe and of the various countries
of the two Americas will be searched
for remedy for the state Of things
that makes anarchy possible.
We do not deny that in some cases
anarchy is bred of poverty and oppres-
sion, or that portion of the remedy
for crime is o be found in improving
the social condition of workers of every
class. But in the meantime the assas-
sins, whether they are the actual per.
petrators or the instigators of murder,
must be taught that punishment swift
and terrible awaits them. 1t is impos-
8 b to e!is,ate for the removal OF mo-
tive in an apparently motiveless crime,
and where an assassin is willing to lay
down his life to accomplish crime it
is well nigh impossible to prevent him
carrying his design into execution.
Whether an attack be successful or ne t.,
death, ard that carried out in private
after private trial, should inevitably
follow. The insensate vanity of the
anarchists mind revels in the glorfca
ton of a public execution and the
worldwide reports of his trial, and
these grati6t i)ns should be taken
away ron him.
But the head and front of the evil is
the propagandist, the man of culture
and education who scatters his glib
vsporings about property and the
rights of man broadcast by means Of
the press Authors and publishers of
incendiary and seditious prints should
be punished as severely and in as unin-
teresting manner as possible; FOR
though it be the educated brain which
conceives inflammatory articles, and
the hand which has never done an hon
est days work which writes them, yet
the miserable beings who translate
these theories into acts are the poor
who are bred in misery and nurtured in
hopelessness. Their own misery, and
what they can do or cannot do, assume
a disproportiouate Importance in their
eyes, and in the vaporings of anarchist
writers they see revelations of Utopia.
The remedy is to shut off the stream
OF violent ideas at the fountain-head.-

Not a Matter Of Taste.

Respecting the "utterances of Garri-
SOD, Godkin, Bradford, Boutwell,,
Norton and Sanborn" and others in the
"four hundred" of the class of people
"who have systematically misre pre-
sented and sspersed the character of our
late President" they are indeed, "a most
sickening collection of contemporary
literature" as the Vergennes Enter
prise remarks, and the contemporary
adds:
The present is not an appropriate
time for such an exhibit and the taste
that gives it two columns of space in a
reputable newspaper is more than
questionable.
Isn'' the Enterprise extra squeamish?
The collection was compilation from
larger assortment published by the
Boston Transcript, one of the most
fastidious newspapers in the country.
The collection was republished entire
by the Brooklyn Eagle, Democratic
newspaper and one of the most "rep-
utable" publications in the country,
and by others in the same category
The JOURNAL is in good company in
this respect and has no apologies to
make.
The utterances of these men OF the
"four hundred" of anarchism are in
finitely more mischievous, their inhu-
ence vastly more pernicious, than the
words of the common herd of anarch-
lists or other mslcontente. We have
no sympathy with the criticism or the
practice that cries out for the suppress
sion OF the unwashed hosts of anarch
ism and its immediate leaders, prints
their pictures in the papers and the
likeness OF the persons they incite to
deeds of assassination, but grows
squeamish over an exhibition of the
incendary vaporings OF educated an
aristocratic anarchy. The Garrisonl
and their gang of high-tones from
Massachusetts or elsewhere belong il
the public pillory by the side of the
Emma Goldmans and the johann
Mosts of the sand lots and the obscure
TRUSTING places of the grosser element
of disorder, riot and assassination. A
just and righteous public sentiment
as we'll as irreproachable "taste," ha
placed these white chokered mischief
makers in that Infamous juxtapositiol
and there they are likely to abide i
this well-deserVed contact.

The Rev. NJ. w. Farman in Boston.

our towns during the past eleven
yeare. The last time he lectured in
Montpelier was last winter when be
spoke under the auspices of the Y. NJ.
@. A. Almost before leaving the Uni
versity Of Vermont, in 1880, Mr., Far

Mr.. Farman as preacher:
The Boston Evening Transcript of August

church in Jsmsica Plain yesterday morn
ing, the entire serv ce was conducted by a
bind preacher of Westheld, W., Rev. Mar
cellus Winslow Farmau. His sermon treat
ed Of the grea ness OF God as revealed in
the Bible and of the atonement through
Christ's sacrifice. Mr.. Farman is young
man who, in sp to Of his indrmities, has
utl zed the quiet of his native town for Sc
rous thoughtful study and the development
OF his naturally good mind. His wonderful
memory stands him in such good stead that
he carries along the chu, CHI service, even in
strange pulpit, with no outside assistance
even to giving out the weekly notices. He
has lectured for several seasons and has
been commended by such men as ex.Gov-
ernors Farnham and Grout, the late Sem
ator Morrill,, ex Senator Edmunds and 9TH
or prominent Vernon ters. He supplied
the. pulpit at Boylstou yesterday for Rev.
Ellis Mendell who is spending his vacation
az Bass Rock"
The Jamaica Plain Neios says: "a large
audience for August listened to Rev. Mar
celus Winslow Farman OF Westield, Vt,
a. Boyslton church last Sunday morning.
Mr.. Farman conducted the service with a
confidence ~ ease that we're remarkable
considering that he Is blind. The powers
of a wonderful memory were brought into
play In the responsive reading and the
Scripture lessor and especially in the num-
erOus aud varied notices which were liven
to him verbally before the service. Mr..
Farmsn gave strong discourse from the
text: The days OF our years are three
score years and ten, and II by reason OF
strength they be fourscore years, yet is
their strength labor and SORROW, for 1t Is

Exaggerating Statement.

The speeches Of the attorneys in the
trial of the assassin of the President
were in admirable taste and form, par
ticularly on the side of the defense,
which was charged with duty no self
respecting attorney would willingly as
sumo.
The assassination of President Nc
Kinley, standing alone in the records
of murders most foul, was a deed that
by comparison can be given no ele-
m.nt of Nervousness. The simple
statement of the plain facts of the TAX
ing off is sufficient. Superlatives are
not needed in characterizing the crime.
Exaggeration can add nothing to the
enormity of the deed. So the state
ment of the prosecuting attorney, in
the opening of his speech, that the
killing of Mckinley "was the most
awful tragedy that ever came upon the
world" as the newspapers report him
to say, diminishes rather than en-
hances the public estimate of the enor-
nifty of the offense against the nation
and mankind at large.
There have been many awful TRACE
dies since this old world was first
created and peopled, eliminating from
the list the crucihxion OF the Savior.
No feature of enormity was in this
case added to the assassination of Lin
coin. Considering the burdens of
state the first martyr President bore,
the benefits to this nation, to freedom
and all the world, that were the abun-
dant fruitage of his mighty tolls and
ceaseless hardships, his case is com
parable in this nation only with that OF
Washington. He trod the wine press
of state with bloodier toll than any
other American. His killing was the
most awful tragedy that ever came
upon this country, if not, among human
tragedies, upon the world.

A Wonderful Inquiry,

1t Is very singular case, this inves-
tigation of Admiral Schley. Ii he is
censured for his acts, or failure to act,
as a result of this inquiry, the next
logical step would be the investigation
OF Secretary Long.
Schley was commodore at the time
when he was guilty OF the conduct that
the commander-in-chiet, in the light
of luminous hindsight, when the bat
tie was over and the victory won with
out his participation, stigmatized as
"reprehensible." Still the department
proposed for advancement to the grade
of rear admiral this officer who is now
characterized as coward, and de-
nounced as the embodiment of all pro-
fessional faults and direlictions.
Nothing, or very little, is known OF
Schley's manner of performing his
duties in the West Indian campaign,
that was not known at the time when,
without protest, he was advanced to
the grade of rear admiral; and long
afterwards this same aggregation Of
capabilities was placed in command Of
squadron of the best naval vessels Of
the government, and sent away on
long cruise in the South Atlantic. Ii
what is alleged against Schley is true
the secretary of the navy would appear
to be guilty of conduct highly "repre
hensible" in advancing him to thu
highest rauk in the navy, and in sub
frequently intrusting him with a com
mand of great responsibility.
1t is further noted that when Samp
son does the same things, as or wors
than are charged against Schley, thes
acts are regarded as evidence OF hig|
professional ability and accomplish
ments. Schley's blockade of Santiag
with small squadron was all wrong

Debts of Nations.

One Of the vital questions OF the
opening century is that Of finance.
The extension of business interests,
the proportion of that business which
is conducted on credit, the growth of
one nation like the United States or
England in wealth to such an extent
that individual citizens can assume
government loans or even assume the
conduct of the entire finances OF
smaller states, brings the financial
status of the governments OF the civil
lied world into popular prominence.
With this in view the North American
ReuieD proposes publishing from month
to month articles which shall give
clear, definite and sufficiently compre-
hensive statements of "The Debts of
the Natione." In the August, 1901,
issue o. p. Austin, chief OF the
bureau of statistics at Washington,

Public Debt of Great Britain" by Hsr

The article is clear and definite and is
filled with interesting historical matter
regarding the origin of interest pay
ment and the earlier debt of England
In the beginning of the methods oil
loaning money the famous tally had
an important part to play:
"The English National Debt, In til

of over two hundred years. Its begin

familiar with the practice of borrowing

generally few months or perhaps
year, and they always paid back. TIL,
history OF these earlier borrowings is 81
full of interest that it may be worth the

earlier kings of England were only all

The Dailies in This Vicinity,

The daily press of Vermont is to be
congratulated upon the enterprising
manner in which it has handled the re-
cent most important news in 20 years,
especially the evening papers. Take it
in this vicinity, the Montpelier Journal
and Barre Times have handled full tele-
graphic reports from Buffalo and vssh-
ington in manner almost worthy of
etropolitan Journals. Indeed, if no
other newspapers had come into their
field the people would have been just
as well informed as to the actual occur
rences. The st. Adams Messenger is
another newspaper which bas shown
remarkable energy and enterprise in
it's news service during the past three
weeks.-Northiel News.

A Sad Event. A Sorry Situation.

The death of eX-Judee Wilson, the
senior counsel for Rear Admiral Schley,
is lamentable and serious event. 1t is
lamentable because he was lawyer Of
character, ability and devotion to the
honor Of his profession, and to the iu-
terests of causes and clients which COM
manded his services. 1t is serious on
account Of the interruption which it will
bring to the work of the court of in
quiIy, and of the loss of an accomplish
ed aud power III advocate which Rear
Admiral Schley will sustain. OF course,
the court of iLqury, the secretary OF
the navy, and, il necessary, the Pres
ident of the United States, will see
that Rear Admiral Schley has full time
and opportunity to do what he can to
repair the serious loss which the death
of Mr.. Wilson is to the interests and to
the rights of the Rear Admiral.
1t has been developed that there was
among the captains of The living squad
ron under the command of Rear Admit
raj Schley, disposition, which amount
ed to habit, to "queer" him. 1t has
been established that the char and log
books, adopted as official and as correct
by President McKinley,by the navy de.
partment, by the Congress and by the
Senate, in their action on naval affairs,
are contradicted by the men who made
and signed those charts and logs as they
give testimony before this court of in.
! quiry. This disparity has surprised
the country and its effect upon the
mind of the members of the court OF in
quiry cannot yet be determined.
The OILY thing that is evident is a
virtual agreement among many naval
! officers to "break down" Admiral

Schley at every point with me natural
recoil on his part to "bleak them
down." The representatives of the
navy department have become prose-
cutors instead of maintaining a judic-
ial attitude. Rear Admiral Schley and
his friends have become equally ag-
gressive and Admiral Dewey has even
had to call down the zeslots of the
navy department when they referred
to the Rear Admiral as "the accused"
just as if he was on trial, which the law
does not regard him to be at all. This
taken into company with the disposi-
ton to "protecL" Rear Admiral Samp-
son and the counter disposition to put
him in pillory leaves the members OF
the court OF inquiry the only non-psr-
tisan persons in the whole transaction
which was sntecedently marked by
passion and which has now been smit-
ten by death.
The demise OF Judge Wilson is sad
event. The conditions of affairs which
has developed amounts to sorry stu

The official use of tallies in the Eng

OF the game laws, and it does not seem
to be generally recognized that killing
game by illegal methods, in excess Of
the number allowed by law, or for un-
lawful purposes, ls as serious an Of
fence as killing game out OF season. In
order TO emphasize this point, a special
chapter on meth DDS has been intro
duced and some of the other sections
in the former report have been rear
ranged. As the bulletin now stands, it
is practically a complete digest of exist
ing federal, State and provincial laws
relating to the capture, shipment and
sale Of game"
Obviously, in country like this, the
public needs some education on game
laws. For about two hundred years
after the settlement of the United
States such laws were unnecessary,
because game was 80 abundant that
there was enough for every poor man
who knew how 10 use gun or rod.
Gradually, in the more thckly settled
portions OF the country, the animals
most in demand were practically ex-
terminated, and this process was has
tened by the immense depredations
of milliners and furriers who paid
what seemed to the country people
to be large prices for the skins of
birds and animals. AS transportation
facilities were improved and extended,
it became possible to supply game for
city markets in much larger quantities
than had before been sent there, and
all this time little or no effort had been
made toward preserving or breeding
the species thus ruthlessly destroyed.
The history of game preserving in this
country is much the same as that of
of forestry. In both cases the natural
resources of the land have been ignor-
antly or ruthlessly destroyed; and in
both cases it is necessary, by wise and
we'll directed legislation, to repair the
damage before it is too late.
This is matter which ought to be
brought to the attention of every farm
er in this country. II he impresses
upon his children and his neighbors
and his hired men the obvious truth
that when they destroy bird in the
breeding season they are helping along
the time when there will be no birds at
all, he will be doing good work. To
this end, the pamphlet issued by the
agricultural department should be care
fully circulated and carefully read.

mental condition or moral responsible
ity, nothing sensational in the prosecu-
ton or defense, the trial was
none the less characterized by a
full and proper regard for every
right of the meanest creature in
the world in court of justice. Moth
ing transpired in the halls of justice at
Buffalo to recall the scenes in the trial

glad to have justice done and the
wretch who wrecked the life of great
President and one of the noblest Of
men gotten out of the way with becom-

from thought or memory. His carcass
should be consigned to earth, left to be

place that rece we'd it smoothed away,
unmarked by stone or sign Of any kind
and known only to the officers Of the
law on whom devolved the diasgree-

its "msrtyrs."
