Tho Ships and the Men.

In asking congress for the authorize.
hon Of the building Of three battleships
And one armored cruiser at cost Of
t17.oOO,OO0 the naval appropriation
committee has made a modest request
and one which the country will gener-
ally be inclined to regard as reasona-
Bile. Apparently the committee was
not much Influenced by the discussion
about a wholesale increase Of the navy
precipitated by the extremely remote
contingency Of war with European
power or powers growing out Of the
Venezuela incident, but rather acted in
adherence to the policy of steady and
systematic additions to the nations Of
fensive and defensive force on the
high seas in conformity with the
steady growth of the nation in pres
tige. population and wealth. The need
Of the country of strong and well
equipped navy is generally recognized,
though there is no necessity Of fever
ish haste and extravagant outlay In
its immediate expansion.
In connection with the authorization
Of new war vessels is the provision for
increasing the facilities of the Naval
academy at Annapolis, for which an
appropriation considerably larger than
heretofore Is asked. The faculty of the
institution is to be strengthened, and
the number Of cadets is to be doubled.
This will give to each senator and rep
resentative an appointment every two
years. Two steel training ships and a
brig are also to be built, so that the
training Of men to man the new war
vessels now being constructed will be
conducted to the best advantage. The
additional appointments double the op
portunity Of admittance to the acad.
envy and should result In much
greater range of candidates and mate.
rally increase the interest Of young
America in the navy as career.

The Brattleboro Phoenix, which is
usually the fairest as we'll as one of the
most conservative of Vermont newspa
pers, takes the following sensible view
of the result:
We wish the result of today's vote
had been more decisive, either on one
side or the other, for a majority Of only
1000 votes is very narrow one on a
question of the Importance of the one
thus decided. But the purpose and dis.
position of every friend of temperance
ought, nevertheless, to be that of accept
ing the result in good faith and Of Civ.
ing the license law an absolutely fair
trial. The burden Of responsibility is
now shifted from the shoulders of the
prohibitionists to those of the license
advocates. We don't mean by this that
any temperance man or prohibitionist
ought to play, or has any right to play,
the part of an obstructionist. On the
contrary, the universal determination
ought to be to give the new law the
fairest trial possible. If, in the coming
two years, its advocates can show, as they
have claimed, that license law, with
local option, tends to control and re.
strict the sale of spirituous liquors, that
it tends to sobriety, that 1t does away
with fraud and hypocrisy, in short, that
such law can be honestly and effec.
lively enforced to the betterment of the
state, the result will be gladly recognized
and accepted by every true friend OF

Written for the HERALD.
"What stronger breastplate than
heart untainted
Thrice is he armed that hath his
quarrel just"
Men should not be adjudged great be-
cause of the magnitude of their achieve
ments, but according to the benefits to
his country, of the institutions resulting
from them.
When studying the career of great
men, it is natural to inquire into the
circumstances that were favorable to
their efforts. George Washington, su-
preme in crisis, upon the results of
which depended liberty, cause worthy
Of the champion, owed his success en-
tirely to the magnificent forces derived
from the self-discipline natural to one
cherishing Unborn lofty ideals of morali-
ty. His noble examples have surely
been the incentive to emulation, for no
country in the world has since produced
men superior to the independent, intel
lectual, hardy, thrifty, temperate, COP
fearing American.
In these days when the patriot exacts
reward commensurate to his services
in his country's behalf, we admire most
of all the unparalleled unselfshness of
the man, for he did not even demand
repayment of the large sums expended
from his private means. That he was
twice elected president was in no sense
a reward, nor did he regard it as such
he knew himself to be the only man
fully capable, at that time, of filling a
| position onerous in the extreme. Men
realized the greatness of Washington
when it was too late to express fitting
gratitude to him.
1t is written opportunity makes the
man." In such times as those it was
possible for men of even average ability
to distinguish themselves more or less
Many did SO by becoming traitors, cow
arsd and ingrates. 1t was the brave New
England men, worthy followers of such
a leader, that won his commentator.
The chief attributes of Washington
were extreme mental and physical
strength, honor, justaess, yalor, inflexi-
bility, rigid adherence to the highest
principles. and withal great kindliness.
Could any mind form higher ideal OF
q perfect man? He was too great to be
a king.
Through the boundless resources, and
the superb energies of her sons, America
may, in time, become second Rome
But she will never outgrow her rever.

time, its exercise would soon be limited
to those who had the ability and expert.

Home interests.

Tn ere is nothing that demands the
cooperation of our citizens as much as
the welfare of their home business. IL
there is any spot where unity of feeling
is needed for public good it is among
the active citizens who hold rule, and
Office, in a town or village; not only
this, but there should be. and is required,
a general spirit of interest in all that
regards or pertains to home matters,
commercially, socially and politically.
Success in anything that involves local
interest cannot be readily consummated
or achieved, unless there be an evidence
of heartfelt desire on the part OF each
citizen to aid and countenance it. This
feeling should prevail in all enterprises
or plans that may arise that will affect
the progress and ultimate good of the
business or growth of our community.
There should be feeling of unity in
anything and everything that may tend
to promote the general rise and influence
of home produce and home trade, as
well as all tina. affects the educative and
social interests of the citizens.
Party spirit and political differences
should never be allowed to come between
the people and cooperating spirit in
any matter that is purely local and of
interest, commercially to any town.
There is too much of this existing now,
"a little is too much arising out Of
sectarian differences-bigotry if you
willard political belief, resulting in
party chickering's, discussions and oppo-
sitions which result in social divisions
of the citizens, and is most detrimental
to the progress of the town either socially
or otherwise.
Each citizen is dependent upon his
fellow citizen for his living. Merchants,
business men, working men, in fact all
classes, are dependent upon one another,
to a great extent, for their local bene-
fits and every day comforts, and it is to
be regretted that any petty difference Of
belief will so affect these relations as to
cause opposition and other serious con-
sequences. The affairs that interest all
should find countenance with all as Of
sufficient interest to warrant unpreju-
diced coverings and operations. If
the people would work together for the
ultimate good of all parties, sects and
creeds, at the coming town meeting, in
stead of striving to obtain personal or
party triumph, and supporting respective
cliques, there would be less of this
humping together against one another
interests and private happiness; for
from such interference social and even
dometic relations have been disturbed
and inharmonious sounds have irritated
beyond measure ears that we're ill pre-.
pared to receive expressions of injustice
and reprimand
More harmony in business agencies
more unity in public interests, more
seeking the welfare of a community
rather than personal, and there will be
less cliques, less divisions, making less
gossip. More local interests, and care
for home commerce, more enterprise in
the furthering of general channels for
influence and good, more efforts for the
common good, and there will be less op.
position, bicke rings, discussions and dis
sessions.
