PECULIAR ACTION.


Rutland, Dec. 23.-The fact that
five members of the board of aldermen
took advantage of their office at
an executive session last week to lower
their real estate appraisal from to
2 per cent is becoming generally known
here and is arousing no little unfavor-
able comment. The details of the
meeting are difficult to obtain, but
it is stated that Mayor D. w. Temple,
who had been present during the hear
ing of those appealing from the APP
praisal, stepped out of the council
chamber for a moment and the men,
bers promptly locked the door and
went into executive session. The
president of the board assumed the
chair and when the mayor returned to
the chamber it is said the doors were
not unlocked and he was not allowed
to enter. There is talk of the boards
action being protested and the mat
ter taken into court, but nothing defin-
lite has yet been done.

TO THE READERS OF THE
WATCHMAN.

The Legislative session has ended.
@ hristmas will be past with this issue
of the Waterman. The Legislature
had "the right of way" from October
/ to December 49, Christmas and its
requirements in the way of newspaper
publicity held the boards in the last
issue.
With the opening of the new year
the Waterman will take up the regu-
lar work of publication, free from the
diversions and distractions of the past
three months, or the preoccupations
of political campaign.
With new machinery, additional
material and experienced and efficient
assistants in all departments, the Old
Waterman will maintain its prestige,
and be better able than ever before
to serve its readers well.

YOUNG MEMS REPUBLICAN
CLUB.

Wallace N. Batchelder, president
of the Young Mems Republican Club
of Brattleboro, arrived in the city
this afternoon from st. Adams and
will spend a few days here in the in
terest of movement to organize
young mems Republican clubs
throughout the State. This work is
being done at the suggestion and un-
der the direction of party leaders in
the State and the congressional dele
CATION has expressed it's hearty APP
prevail of the plan. Mr.. Batchelder
said to Journal reporter this after
noon that the movement has no par
ticular political significance, and no
reference to the contests for or, against
high license, but is simply a move to
interest the younger men of the party
with view to promoting clean poll
tics and good citizenship. The young
mems Republican organization which
fiorished a few years ago has now be-
come a part of the older wing of the
party, and the new movement is de-
signed to get the younger men inter
ested. Mr. Batchelder has visited
Rutland, Burlington and st. Adams.
In Rutland it was decided to delay or
ganizing until after February 3.
Burlington organized club ON Fri
day evening with 60 members and in
st. Adams on Monday evening a tenn
porary organization was formed with
Frank l.. Greene as chairman and
city Judge John NJ, Thorne, secretary,
but it was voted to delay organizing
permanently until after the referen-
dunn in February. Mr.. Batchelder
has had correspondence with men,
bers of the Montpelier young men S
Republican Club, which has main
tanned its organization for the past
six years and. will endeavor to create
an interest in the proposed State or
ganization or confederation, for it is
purposed that every club be entirely
free from every other club except as
they may meet for mutual advan-
tages. Mr.. Batchelder is accompanied
by his wife and son and will remain
here until after Christmas.

her far away possessions to a syndi-
cate. Queen Emma's possessions are
valued at $50, 600, 600, making her
one of the half-dozen wealthiest
women in the world. She is a
princess Of the royal family of Samoa
and is the absolute ruler of more than
100, 600 subjects to whom she gives
laws, marries and divorces at pleasure,
and who look upon her as the final
arblter in all disputes Twenty years
ago when her English husband died
she was worse than bankrupt, but
recognizing the fertility of those
little known islands she acquired pos
session of immense tracts of land.
Now that they have come within the
pale of civilization, the islands are
immensely profitable. The Queen owns
"a line of steamships plying be-
tween there and Australia, and she is
recognized as great power in the
western Pacific.

DEATH AT WATERBURY,.

Waterbury, Dec. %. William SEQ
field a we'll known and generally
respected young man, died at the
home of his mother, Mrs. Charles SEQ
field, in this village ON Sunday even
ing Of consumption, after long i'll
ness. Mr.. Scofield's age was thirty
five years and for many years sold
household utensils and other goods
in this and neighboring towns, and
consequently had large acquaintance
in this vicinity. About year ago
he was obliged to give up work on
account of illness, and has gradually
failed ever since that time. The
funeral will be held at one o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Mr..
Smith officiating.

The State has issued it's last biennial
exhibit of the folly and general debil-
ity of its men "most noted for virtue
and wisdom" Why did the trainers
of the Constitution put that phrase
into their statement of the qualifica-
tions of the the States lawmakers
to become byword and mockery
in these later times? Every subscriber
to Vermont newspaper will receive
from one to a dozen copies of this
residuum of the weeks of vaporing
and elaboration of the General
Assembly, and will thereby be pro-
vided with week supply of material
for kindling the morning fire or for
other domestic purposes. At the end
of one week, of the 100, 600 copies of
its new laws the State distributes,
some 80, 900 will he nonresident; and
about the same proportion of the laws
themselves will become dead letters
serving only the purpose of giving
ephemeral fame to the future Scion
who shall receive his presiding Off
GERS permission to Introduce bill
the title of which he has named -
and the title will he the repeal or
amendment of such and such acts of
the General Assembly of 1902, or-if
the law survives so long-such and
such sections Of the compiled statutes.
OF this nature was q large share of
the business of the Legislature at the
late session, and for sessions long pre-
ceding. When the State takes such
pains and incurs so great expense to
distribute all it's laws among its citi-
zens, why should it also make a spe-
cial distribution of $4,000 copies of
one particular law-which the voters
have already, some of them several
copies. The percentage of voters who
will read the law is very small, too
small to make an effective impression
on the aggregate public opinion or vote.
BY other means must the voters be
reached.

VENEZUELA-THE NAVY.

Secretary Hay, Ambassador Herbert
and Senator Depew, the latter repre-
senting the Seligmans, have had a
conference with view to determining
what can be done to enable Vene-
zuela to meet her obligations. 1t is
believed that eventually satisfactory
settlement will be the outcome of the
interest displayed by the American
bankers.
Representative Hit, chairman of
the committee on foreign affairs, has
said: Both parties in the House
believe that the administration has
handled the Venezuelan affair with
great good Judgment, and the resolu-
tion passed by the House asking for
information should not be construed
as arguing want of confidence. The
Monroe Doctrine has been strengthened
in three ways. The Powers, by
refraining from landing troops on
South American soil, have shown a
respect for the Doctrine which will
constitute a precedent; the jealousy
with which the American people re-
gard the Doctrine has been demon
have again been taught the lesson
that they cannot repudiate their just
debts and hope to get behind the Mon
roe Doctrine for protection.
Taking the Venezuelan situation as
text, Secretary Moody delivered a
powerful argument before the House
committee on, naval affairs recently.
He cited the Presidents statement
that our navy must be match for
any, and proceeded to demonstrate
the necessity for six new ships to be
authorized by Congress this year. The
President is earnestly backing up the
wishes of his secretary of the navy.
He has said: Il am in favor of build
ing warships every year until the
United States navy shall be as strong
as any in the world. The adminstra-
tion will try to secure liberal treat
ment of the navy but there is evident
Discrimination on the part of the
naval committee to commit the country
to policy which may entail heavy
taxation.
In this connection it is worthy of
note that certain naval officers are
advancing the theory that Germany,
in so vigorously prosecuting her claims
against Venezuela, is actuated by a
desire to secure naval base ON this
continent. This theory is not sup
ported by the facts, the German am
bassador having on two occasions, one
as recently as December IL, protested
in writing to Secretary Hay that his
country had no intention of acquir-
ing or even occupying American ter
ritory. He further asserts that he
has been instructed by his sovereign
to make this statement.

judge and jury. The matter of peace
full arbitrament they spurned when
they seized the moment of their vic
TINS embarrassment and let loose on
him the dogs of war. 1t bears the
appearance of very beastly piece Of
business, and it's beastliness is not
diminished by the circumstance that
Venezuela is not refusing to pay, but
asks an adjudication of the claims
presented against her, time for pay
ment of Judgment and merciful con-
sideration of her existing unhappy
and unfortunate condition.

VEN EZUELA.

Washington, Dec. President
be gratified if the European powers,
now engaged in coercive measures
against Venezuela, would consent to
refer their differences with the South
American republic, to the adjudica-
ton of the permanent international
tribunal of arbitration at The Hague,
has met with a prompt response from
the governments of England and Ger
many Apparently by mutual ar
rangement, they have expressed SYM
pathy with the principles of arbitra-
ton, but intimate that they would
prefer. should the basis for a peace
able settlement be arranged, to have
Mr.. Roosevelt act as sole arbitrator.
The President IS response, while ex-
pressing satisfaction at the tribute to
him, states that he believes that a
more satisfactory disposition of the
trouble could be made by adopting
his own suggestion to the powers,
that the settlement be entrusted to
The Hague tribunal. If, however,
the powers are unwilling to accept
any other arbitrator than the Presi-
dent, he will feel obliged to consent
to act in that capacity.
The punitive measures that are now
in force in some degree will not be
suspended by the allies until definite
agreement is reached as to arbitra-
tion.
