ROUND THREE

The embattled farmers" assembled
again on Thursday evening" meeting
| this time in the Supreme Court room
at the Capitol. Tuberculosis was
again put on the gridiron and the
grilling it received ought to satisfy
all concerned.
The phase of the subject discussed
was the communicating of the disease
by the bovine to the human family.
w. W. Higbee of Charlotte entertain
ed the 125 gentleman present with
frank statements to the effect that he
had been unable to find good authori-
ty to substantiate the claim that the
disease could be bequeathed from
COW to a human being. Mr.. Higbee
was not unlike, in some ways, the
reverend gentleman from Swanton who
appeared on Wednesday evening, par
ticularly in the fact that he compared
the laws of Vermont with those Of
New Hampshire regarding the tuber-
culin test. He believed if, cattle COM
mission was allowed to continue the
condemning and killing of cattle, that
abandoned farms would prove a large
part of the assets of the State. His
remarks at times savored of the sar-
castle as he referred TO the "hue and
cry" that tuberculosis was spreading
in the human family. The main, and
in fact only, thing asked, expected
and demanded by the farmers of Yer
mont was justice
At this point DR.. and Senator Stiles
of st. Johnsbury took hand in the dis
cussion. He allowed that the presence
of tuberculosis could not always be
determined by test Of the milk. He
thought that ninety per cent of the
acknowledged authority on the SUBJ
ject had agreed that the disease can
be transmitted from the bovine to the
human family, and strongly objected
to putting a price on human life, as
he believed would be done if the far
mers considered but one phase of the
cattle commission, that which touched
their pocket books.
DR.. Stiles was supported in his state
ments by George ). Worcester Of
Thetford. G. NJ. White of Woodstock,
the comedian of the House. was ex-
temely conservative in his remarks
and would lend his energy to elimin-
ate the disease if possible.
w. l. Kendall of West Windsor sug-
gested that the State pay full value
for cattle killed by the cattle commits
sion, rather than bankrupt the farmer.
Mr.. McFeeters, of Enosburg, straight
ened up and stood on his feet in an
instant and asked why the State should
pay anything for "A diseased creature
that was a nuisance and menace to
the community. Mr.. Higbee of Char
lotte, who was present as a guest, claim
ed that Judge Powers had pronounced
the existing law unconstitutional.
Senator Cartmell suggested that DR..
Phillips of Brandon, veterinary, be
asked to appear tbefore the committee
to testify in the matter of tuberculosis
i'll the bovine family
The discussion was filled with witty
sallies and sharp retorts. Senator
Russell's cattle commission bill was
not discussed.

SENATOR DILLINGHAM;.

In his speech before the joint as

ingham paid a high tribute to the
character and public services of his
predecessor, Justin S. Morrill,.
The Senator devoted the latter part
of his remarks to question just now
demanding public attention, the cleo
ton of Senators by direct popular
vote, and explained his position re-
garding this matter He traced the
history of representation in Congress
from its outset, referring to the House
as a directly representative body and
through their Legislatures he spoke

half of senatorial representation on the

movement ON the part of the smaller

ositions when the public is taken
into consideration. This matter is given
prominence in the commissions report
and it has recommended that a law
be enacted forbidding all railroad cor
porations to issue stock, bonds or Sc
curities of any sort without authority
of the board of railroad commission
ers. Their recommendation asks that
the board be given authority to grant
such permit and to fix the selling fig
ures for such securities.

General Assembly-the work will

SENATOR DILLINGHAM;.

At the time of Senator Dillingham; 5
election two years ago we prophessied
that it meant that he would continue
to represent Vermont in the Senate
for many years to come. The prophecy
receives today the first installment Of
fulfllment, Senator Dillingham; was
today elected Senator for n full term,
unopposed on the Republican side.
This is as it should be. A State gains
enormously in reputation and influence
by retaining its congressional delega-
ton; and in Senator Dillingham; S
case, his ability and character, and
the influential position he has taken at
Washington, give additional force TO
the argument. We congratulate SEN

veying supplies, attacking conveys,
etc. All of this sort Of training is
most beneficial to the men, and is
part of Secretary Roots great scheme
for securing the utmost proficiency in
the army and, in so far as may be, in
the militia. From the organization of
the war college down to the rife prac-
tice of the men the secretary loses no
opportunity to secure better training
for the military forces.

r eally were any-that he is highly and
peculiarly qualified for the duties and
responsibilities of the senatorial office,
and the result of the legislative cleo
ton Of 1900 constitutes a very strong
argument for abiding firmly by the
existing plan of electing United States
Senators. The legislative plan has
worked satisfactorily in Vermont. 1t
has sent to Congress some of the ablest
men in all the country. 1t will be diff
cult to show that in any sufficient
number of instances it has worked SO
unsatisfactory as to justify the
change to popular election. Vermont
will sustain Senator Dillin CHAM on
this question.

UNGRATEFUL CUBA.

Evidences are coming to light al
most daley tending to show the I'M
gratitude of Cuba toward the United
States and the siuation in that country
is causing anxiety to the administra-
tion. 1t is plainly evident that the
Cuban republic is drifting away from
the United States and is counting
closer relatinons with Germany and
othere European powers. The treaty
which was to embody the provisions
of the Platt amendment has been
completed by Secretary Hay and Min.
lister Quesada and has been forwarded
to Havana, but it receives no consider.
alton by the Cuban government 1t is
impossible for the State department to
secure any expression in regard to it.
If the Cubans would indicate any OBJ
jectionble provisions in the treaty they
might be made the basis for further
negotiations, but they do not.
Neither do they indicate that they
have any objection to accepting the
treaty as it stands, but they postpone
action and, meanwhile, in many minor
instances, they have violated its pro.
visions. No pressure will be exerted
on Cuba, however. 1t is believed that
Cuba is herself the greatest sufferer
from the continuation of the present
anomalous condition of her relations
with the United States, and it is hoped
that internal pressure will soon force
a ratification. With the converting of
Congress the subject will be revived,
apropos of Cuban reciprocity, and then,
definite action will probably be taken.

The administration of General ia
cob Smith in Samar has not been
without results, Judging from the re-
port of General Fred Grant who has
just returned from the Philippines.
Although the "kill and burn orders
isued by General Smith have excited
no end of comment they evidently
tended to quiet the natives in that
province. General Grant says:
"Samar is enjoying the first period
of peace that it has ever known. Now
that they have been forced by stress
of military operations to cease their
hostilities, the natives for the most
part, seem absolutely contented with
the new order of things. When l first
went to Samar, a soldier could not
venture much out of Mailing distance
of even the conquered towns without
being set upon and killed by the saw
age natives. Now an American can
go anywhere and go unframed. -
