Napoleon Clement.

At least one of the ablest men in Yer
mont public life today is Percy w. Gle
ment. He is the Green Mountain Roose-
welt, an incarnate steam engine of re-
markable construction and executive
ability. Along his particular line, Yer
mont never saw his equal. He stands
for fOrceful methods in business and
politics. He goes through things rather
than to 90 around them. He is not con-
ciliatory where he might we'll be, which
may be called his one weakness. If he
lives long enough and remains in Yer
mont he will either be it's absolute polit-
ical dictator or will have to be crushed
and kept crushed by mighty concen-
tration of all opposing forces.
1t is Napoleon against the allied az
mics from now on.
There are several powerful aspirants
for political honors in Vermont today,
who, if they succeed, must first and al
ways keep Clement down. These aspi-
rants are under the banner of orthodox
prohibition republicanism. Clement
brings in heresy which must be sup
pressed for safety. Therefore, the ortho-
doX rank and file will bend every energy
to kill local option in order to keep Glenn
ent down and by the same token will try
to suppress Clement by suppressing 10.

point-are incendiary, descriptive and
Subversive.
| If the local option league had not beer
born in Rutland, with Percy Clement al
its head, it would not have invited the
howl of opposition from Tray, Blanche
and Sweetheart which instantly echoed
from every point of the compass. The
league would have encountered the Cd.
Iposition of such narrow bigots as G. W
Morrow and others of that ilk. but il
would not have arrayed against it the
hosts OF those whose only hope of politi-
cal life and preferment is in keepino
Percy Clement suppressed. Anything
tinctured with Clement is a red rag to
the gross and unprogressive political
bulls of the state, as witness the local
loption bill last fall. The Headquarters
OF the movement were in Rutland, and
as this was so well known, the leaders
went over on the Connecticut river to
find safe man to introduce the bill.
1t would have been better for the
league and for Clement in a sense. if the
league had been born somewhere else and
under another flag, but now the man and
the cause stand and fall together. The
issue is made up.
1t is Napoleon against the allied ar
MES, and within the next two years Yer
mont Will witness such political up
laval as it never even dreamed of be-
bre, and
The Vermont Napoleon will shake the
tmple to the foundations.-Morrisvill

Treason in Faneuil Hall.

Five hundred anti-imperialsts, one
third women, met in Faneuil hall in Bos-
ton Saturday night and held a regular
pow WOW. President McKinley's name
was Kissed and the great Aguinaldo
cheered. The several speakers professed
great fear that the administration would
succeed in rearing an empire in place of
the republic One speaker said: For
my part would rather be the command
er-in-chief of the Filipino forces, fighting
for home and liberty and independence
against foreign foe, and now at last a
prisoner through strategem, than be the
commander-in-chief of the American
forces, sworn to uphold and defend the
constitution of the United States, and
now directing war against the funda-
mental principles of human liberty. A
reverend gentleman,a regular tire-spitter,
said 1.-THE policy Of blood yields only
blood. And if a blood-stained David
was not permitted to build temple to
Jehovah, we may be sure that no blood
bedraggled Mckinley will give us new
and greater America. The secure foun-
dations of sound national life are bed
ded in justice and justice alone. And
the swift telegraph and cable, however
long censored and withheld, will bring
to us the truth and the truth only can
make us free.
| But the government continues in spite
of treason and vituperation. If it is
demonstrated that the Cubans and Fill
ipinos are capable of self-government
they will be allowed to shift for them
selves; but until this is demonstrated il

| them loose. The government is pursuing
the even tenor of its way and in most
| particulars has the endorsement of the
large majority Of American citizens. II
is to be expected that the minority viii

States, and cheer its enemies, and that

DeIuge at Barre.

They had a liquor seizure in Barre last
week. Both railroad stations were
raided. The Barre Times gave this de-
scription of the event:
The result was astonishing. Truck
teams were busy all the forenoon carting
casks, barrels, kegs, cases, trunks and
boxes of irrigating fluid of all sorts and
kinds to the city hall. The basement
floor of the building is Uttered with the
stuff from front to rear and from side to
side. 1t is estimated that there is over
$4,000 worth of the stuff. A hasty count
showed Al barrels and half barrels of ale
and beer, IS or 20 -four barrels packed
full of bottles of many kinds and sizes,
and soap boxes, cases, trunks, ETC.,
galore. The list of addresses to which
the various packages were shipped in
cludes about 20 names. Several casks
were marked "a Filipino, Barre, VT, -
which is taken to indicate that they were
intended for Aguinaldo.
If Barre had few licensed saloons it
seems hardly possible that the consump-
tion of liquors could be greater than it
is under the prohibitory law.

Russia is not playing it's game of d.
plomacy in the East for nothing. In
what is known as the Manchurian treaty
it demanded that the important province
of Manchuria be added to Russian terri
tory. The Chinese government swayed
by English influence has refused to
accede, and Russia is left in a rather
awkward position. 1t is not expected
that Russia will follow up it's demands
by a declaration of war
