Sandalphon beckoned and into his ear
Spoke thus, in measure sweet and calm

A voiceless earth, an orb in toneless air
From that sad people there has come Il

A prayer SO simple and yet so profound
An answer to that plea I now confer
And thee T choose as its interpreter
The angel wept and low obeisance made,

And slay that virgin silence with a song!"

Went singing down the pathway of the

records of the courts OF justice, look
into the prisons all the world over, OBJ
serve the condition of society in any
community.
Verify, a prohibitory law that has
been in force more than three thousand
years, and has not yet fulfilled the pur-
pose of its enactment in the prevention
OF murder, adultery, theft, lying and
kindred offenses, has no title to respect.
Its effect cannot be otherwise than
"mischievous," and the very circum-
stance that these offenses are forbidden,
in the view of a clerical opponent of
prohibition, "offers a strong tempta-
tion'' to do murder, commit adultery,
steal, lie and swipe ones neighbours
belongings generally. Put these cor
siderations into the contemporaries
scheme of "little logic" and the concu-
sion is as nationally reac he'd that the
people don't want the Ten Command
ments enforced.
The Ten Commandments may not
specifically include rum-selling in their
prohibitions, but there is in Holy Writ
enough of very emphatic admonition
against drunkenness and making PEG
pie drunk. Whiskey and the barbed
wire connections of later times, and the
traffic in them, were beyond the ken
even of Moses prophetic vision, or un-
questionably the lightnings of Sinai
would have been invoked to burn mod
ern prohibition into the tablets.
The license advocates impeach the
law of the State regulating the liquor
traffic because in fifty years it has not
remedied all the evils of intemperance,
when divine prohibition, dovetailed in
to human law everywhere, after some
four thousand years, is equally far from
having had its perfect work. And they
would therefore set up the golden calf
OF license for the people to worship. In
the nature of things, till the mellenium
comes the evils of intemperance will
not be wholly eradicated. The Ten
! Commandments, all and singly, and
human laws built upon them, are sub
ject to the impeachment brought
against the Vermont liquor code, and
the substitution of license for their pro-
hibitions would be as rational in the one
case as in the other. In either it would
be banetul proposition.

begin at home. There is more psrti-

The Song of the VermOnters.

heFree Press is OF the opinion that
the search for publication containing
this poem, recently reprinted in the
JOURNAL, "could not have been ex-
haustive or intelligent" aud after some
two weeks of leisurely research gives
the titles OF books in which the ballad
is printed. Few people are blessed
with the luminous intelligence, the
erudition and exhaustless resources Of
the literary magnate of the Free Press.
An easy task for him might be of ex-
ceeding difficulty for another.
However, it is proper to say, the
poem was found for the JOURNAL in
the State Library, in De PuY's Green
Mountain Heroes, one Of the books the
Free Press cites, as a footnote on the
troubles of the Vermonters With their
neighbors; and when the authorship
was questioned, the JOURNAL pro-
duced the evidence, by Whittier himself
that the verses were his. The Free
Press erudition, in this instance, is
somewhat belated.
So late as 1860, however, two years
after Whittier had stated in private
letter to friend, that the song was
written in 1888 or 1884, sand was only

tons was iron ore, and 100000 was
coal. One-foHrth million tons was pig
iron and manufacturediron, 120, 900 tons
metallic copper. In addition the traffic
included over So 100000 bushels of
wheat, 5000, 900 bushels Of other grain,
over 100000 barrels of -four, over
100000 barrels of salt, and 1,03S ,000,-
600 feet board measure of lumber.
Eighty-one per cent of the vessels and
eighty-six per cent of the above tom
mage passed through the American
locks, the balance going through the
canal on the Canadian side.
These are the sums of part only Of
the immeasurable commerce of this
inland empire, the part that trayerses
the inland seas in an inland feet whose
extent statistics but feebly represent
to the mind. This realm of boundless
wealth in agriculture and industry, this
mineral region of surprising richness
and eXhaustless resources, is threaded
by railways with an equipment and a
traffic which are the imperial compile
ment of the imperial commerce on the
waters of the lakes. 1t is land of
homes, of culture, as we'll as Of wealth
and intense activity, of churches,
schools and the multiplied instrument
talites of charity and benevolence, the
seat of the best civilization of the
world.

dishonesty at Manila.

1.-THE charges made of widespread
frauds in the government service at
Manila have an ugly appearance. They
tend seriously to shake confidence in
the kind of men who have come to the
front in the commercial side of the OPP
erations growing out of the nations
extensions in territory. There are too
many men who look upon the opportu-
nifty offered by these as fields for plum
dering". And 80 forth and 80 on, by
the Boston Herald.
The frauds in Manila, whether great
or small, are certainly regrettable.
What they are, what amounts they in
volve, are not yet known. They may,
or may not, justify the preachment of
he Herald, but there are some other
things, very much nearer home, of
which there is no question whatever.

AguinaldO's Oath.

The Filipino chief has sworn allegi-
ance to the government of the United
States. Except within the select limits
of the cult that reverences-or pro
fesses to Observation-Disclosures as
second Washington, an abiding faith in
him is not cherished in America. Faith
is not increased by his oath to support
a government he has been defying. A
lurking distrust will reasonably be held
for the leader who for Spanish gold be-
trayed his comrades, who early in the
war ordered the assassination Of Gen
eral Luna, one Of his co-conspirators,
and who by repeated acts of duplicity
and treachery has forfeited respect and
confidence. His conspiracy has cost
his country and its saviors much blood
and millions of treasure that Nigh
have been expen ded in recovering the
islands from the destructive effects of
centuries of Spanish rule. He turned
back, and held back, the hands on the
dial of progress in the archipelago many
decades. His rebellion was one of the
wickedest in history, and his attempt
at the assumption of the powers of gov
ernment without shadow of rig bit or
justice.
rhe best that can come from this evil
deuce of Aguinaldo's complete sub
mission 10 the United States is the
moral effect it may have on the de-
tached bands of the Filipinos still hold
ing out in Luzon or on other islands of
the group. The example Of the man
they have recognized as their ruler and
commander will inevitably have its per-
suasive influence; it will release his de-
luded followers from the thralldom Of a
despotism of oriental absolutism, from
the fear of the vengeance that might
be visited upon them by unauthorized
surrender to the Americans. BY TAX
ing the oath Aguinaldo completes the
moral effect of Funston's exploit.
With more rapid strides peace ought to
come to the Philippines, with all its
benefcent inhuences--and grief over
the event will remain only with the lit
tie circle which will be left without a
cause or a bond of union by the hum.
bling of their hero.
