Where the President Should BE
Careful.

What will strike the thinking people
of the country with particularly un-
pleasant force is the attitude of the ad-
ministration in this matter of the Brit
ish shipments of war material from
New Orleans to South Africa. We
gather from certain outgivings, pre-
sumably semi-official, that the govern
ment does not view with favor the pro-
ceedings recently inaugurated in the
United States district court at New Or
leans and having for their OBJECT test
of the legality of the shipments in
question. The impression conveyed to
the public mind, indeed, is that the
gentlemen of the cabinet rather resent,
as impairment interference, the at
tempt of an individual 10 challenge
through the courts what he regards as
an injustice or cruelty, even though
the attempt contemplates nothing more
than statement of the law. They are
represented as holding the opinion that
private citizens have no right to med
die in such matters, and as going so far
as to say that if such right exists,
they will ask Congress to extinguish it
by legislation.
We say that thoughtful people will
be painfully impressed by this disclo-
sure. Public sentiment has already
been sufficiently offended by our gov
ernment's singular complaisance to-
ward England during the past three
years. Ia that time we have seen
many strange and startling things. We
have seen large area of United States
territory handed over TO England under
the plea of creating temporary" mo-
dus vivendi. We have seen England
arrest our commerce in foodstuffs with
the Portuguese port Of Loureno Mar
quez, while simultaneously she estab-
lished purchasing stations in various
parts of this country and shipping
depot at New Orleans for the openly
avowed purpose of furnishing her
armies in South Africa with horses

A Fair Proposition,

l.. e. Pelton, writing to the Free
Press from Highgate Center, requests
the vouminous editors of the st. AL
bans Messenger and Burlington Ne,CS
''to state concisely, in one or both OF
their papers, all the benefits they be-
lieve the people OF this State would
gain by repeal of our prohibitory law
and the adoption of local option high
license law" Mr.. Pelton asks, further,
that these papers allow him one-half
the space they use in their several pa
pers to state the disadvantages which
he believes would accrue to the people
of this State by the adoption of such a
change. "And they may have the ben
eft of Bishop Hall's advice to aid
them"
That's fair proposition, and the con-
temporaries should make haste to &C.
cept it. The chief difficulty in the way,
in view of the br0aisdes of stuff on
this subject with which these papers
have been Willing away the dull days
OF the winter, is an apparent inability
"to state concisely" their views on the
subject. Come to time, brethren, and
''cut it short"
The concluding part of Mr.. Pelton's
challenge contains a somewhat sur
prising statement. 1t is this: "The rea-
son of this request is, that soon after
the close of the last Legislature, l
wrote to the editor OF the Messenger,
making the above request. He, instead
of publishing the letter, and censuring
it in his paper, wrote me personal let
ter, stating in substance that he did not
think the reading public would care to
hear any more argument on that sub
| iect at that time. Still be, and few
other editors, have kept up system o
criticism, slurs, innuendoes and mis-
statements on that subject ever since
And when one cannot think OF any
thing smart to print he picks out some
thing another had said and republishes
| it,"

and mules-with the only war mater
ial that could make England's success
against the Beers even more remotely
possible. Our government permitted
the suppression of the United States
trade with Delagoa Bay, because its
continuance might hurt the Beers.
Our government winked at the export
alton of war material to South Africa,
because that was absolutely indispen-
sable to England's war upon the South
African republics. Yes; we have seen
all this, to say nothing of the shocking
episode of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty,
now happily closed by the action OF
patriotic Senate, and it has grieved and
shamed every true American heart.
Does the administration propose to af-
flict, to offend, US any further in this
direction?
II such be the idea of the cabinet, we
congratulate them upon the brilliant
success which will infallibly crown
their efforts. Only one construction
will, or can, be put upon suppression
by government continuance of the legal
proceedings at New Orleans. The
country will conclude, and in the light
of past events will be justified in con-
Guiding, that the administration does
not want the legality of the shipments
investigated, but prefers to counte-
nance them in Engiand's behalf,
whether they be warranted or forbid
den. The abstract proposition that ma
tons, and not individuals, must act in
cases relating TO neutrality may be
sound enough; but under existing cir
cumstances, and considering all that has
gone before-bearing in mind our sub
serviency to England in the immediate
past and the fact that the government
has thus far been willing to sleep upon
its honor in this matter of neutrality
obligations-th President will be wise
to set his face against policy 80 Of
fensive and 30 unnecessary. The ad.
ministration cannot afford to occupy
the position Of antagonizing an effor
to elicit the truth in matter affecting
our national integrity.
If it be the business of the govern
ment to attend to such affairs, why has
the government not discharged itt
duty? If the government be sure as
to it's virtues in this case, why should il
resent the inquiries of private either
who prefers a solid judicial declaration
to the irresponsible allegations of some
department understrapper? The Pres.
ident should proceed cautiously. The
American people have seen all too lit
tie of the Mckinley heart and the Nc.
Kinley hand in this matter of tn,

Cuba and the Platt Amendment.

1t is reported from Washington that
President Mckinley has conferred with
a number of Senators and Representa-
tives on the back and forth action of
the Cuban constitutional convention on
the conditions offered Cuba, and its de-
Gliding to send commission to WASH
ington.
The President will courteously re-
ceive the commission, but will make it
plain to the members that the condi-
tions offered are final and that they
must be accepted sooner or later. The
opinion of the President and those
with whom he has conferred, including
Democrats as we'll as Republicans, was
reflected in the following statement
made by Senator McComas, just after
having had talk with the President:
"The Cubans are simply standing in
their own light by not accepting the
terms of the Plat amendment. This
amendment was necessary, just and
ultimate. We cannot change a single
one OF the provisions of the amend
ment in justice to the Cubans them
selves, not taking into consideration
our own interest. Each provision is q
prop to the future republic. If COM
mittee comes up here from the Cuban
constitutional convention, l think they
will find that out They certainly can
not accomplish anything in the way of
modification OF the Platt amendment.
They will learn what they ought to
know now, that the President has nc
power to repeal or modify an act of
Congress. They are to be treated all
right when they visit Washington, but
l believe they will go back home with
palmer ideas of the intentions of this
government"
Senator Cockrell, Democratic mem
Der of the Senate committee on Caba,
who has just returned from visi
to the island, expressed the opinion
that the convention would in the ent
accept the Platt amendment, although
he said, he would not be surprised

votes before doing so. He evidentl

The Vergennes Enterprise thinks it
wasn't so much of q steal after all, and
the papers are very much to blame for
making so much out of the affair.
Cashier Lewis is very much maligned
man. The Enterprise declares that
"the real figures of the defecit approx
innate only $75,0O0," not 100000 as
the papers are saying, and "the cashier
has returned to the receiver $25, 900,
leaving the total loss about $50, 000.
OF this, the surety bond of $l0,0 is
certainly an available asset, leaving
$4,000 as the balance to be made good
to the depositors." "There is wide
difference between 10000 and 100000"
adds the Enterprise, which is true, but
the contemporary is not quite success
full in this effort to minimize the pee
ulations OF the cashier, between which
and the sum the bank may finally lose,
after restitution and payment of surety
have been made, there is an obvious
difference.

Leaf by Leaf the Roses Fall,

Leaf by leaf the roses fall,
Drop by drop the springs run dry,
One by one beyond recall
Summer roses droop and die.
But the roses bloom again,
And the springs will gush anew
In the pleasant April rain
And the summer rain and dew.
So in hours of deepest gloom,
When the springs Of gladness fail
And the roses in their bloom
Droop like maidens wan and pale,
We shall find some hope that lies
Like a silent gem apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes
In the garden of tho heart.
Some sweet hope to gladness wed
That will spring afresh and new
When griefs winter shall have fed.
Giving place to rain and dew,
Some sweet hope that breathes Of spring
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for its blossoming
In the spirits glorious cline.

believes that some of the members Of
the convention wish to be persuaded.

Mrs. John A. Logan has published
statement in answer to criticism of the
bronze panels on the sides OF the pc
destal of the statue OF General Logan
that was unveiled last week, in which
she says: "No one supposes that it was
not known to the sculptor, the statue
commission and myself that Vice.
President Arthur did not administer
the oath to General Logan as Sena-
tor; that Senator Morton was dead,
and that Senator Thurman was not in
the Senate when General Logan was
sworn in for his second term. OF
course we knew all this, but we disre-
garded it because we wanted those
panels to portray the most prominent
men in the history of the country who
were in the Senate during the sixteen
years that my husband was Senator.
The selection of those who were to be
represented on those panels was left to
me, and l tried to select men who
served at sometime with General Lo-
gan and who were representative OF
the country's history. In this connec-
ton, want to say, too, that the COM
mission appointed by Congress to have
charge of the erection of the statue de-
cided that the money appropriated by
Congress should be applied to the base
and to the figures of man and horse. 1t
was agreed that the other funds given
toward the statue should be used for
the making of the panels and other
decoration of the pedestal. This other
money was contributed by the Army of
the Tennessee, the Grand Army of the
Republic, and by private individuals.
The story is denied that negotiations
for new treaty with Great Britain,
! dealing with the lsthmiau canal ques-
ton, have been started. After the
lapsing of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
by the failure of Great Britain to ac-
cept it, President Mckinley directed
Secretary Hay to ascertain, if possible,
from Senators, whether two-thirds of
the Senate could be counted upon to
vote for the ratification of treaty that
] would, in it's main features, be accept
able both to this government and that
OF Great Britain. This task Secretary
Hay is still engaged on, and until it is
completed there will be no negotiations,
as until then Secretary Hay will be IN
able to even acquaint the British am
bassador with the basis upon which
this government will negotiate, The
cable news that negotiations had been
started in London was as false as the
the Washington story. Whenever
there are negotiations along this line,
they will be conducted at Washingt on
as this matter is 80 important that the
government intends to keep it where
every step taken can be closely watch

taken had been as guarded as these the
government Is now taking, the unfor-
tunate Hay-Pauncefote compact could
never have been made.
