The Cnitarians supposed they were in

Dr EdWard Everett Hale, chaplain of the
United States Senate, John D. Long. ex-
Governor of the State of Massa achusetts

ours is a religious movement: it is
evangelical in every sense; the limitation
was early made to such bodies as un-
questionably accept Jesus Christ as the
head of the Church"
IN" Involuntary comment when one
reads this statement is that the Rev. DR.
sanford and his associates are surely
fortunate and wise. in their own conceit
In knowing just where TO draw the line
Are they equally sure Of the alignment

The logic Of the situation appears to be /
that DR. Hale can pray in the United

him in the national federation OF /

BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 49, 1905.
Close Range View of the Philippines.

Charles Hopkins Clark, editor Of the
Hartford Courant, who accompanied the
Taft party on the journey to the Far East.
has been writing to his paper a series of
articles on the Philippines which are IL
Eliminating and which deserve especial
consideration from the anti-imperiallst
coterie who found in Aguinaldo a George
Washington, in the Tagaogs the pro-
totypes Of our Revolutionary sires. and
who could see no reason why the far
distant islands with some 60 different
tribes or classes Of people should not
be accorded the same treatment as
Cuba. Mr.. Clark found that there is
no distinctive Philippine people. There
are he says, friendly and unfriendlv
Wild men, there are Christians and Mo-
hammedans there are ignorant and their
Intelligent and the last named are
usually of mixed blood, gifted more
or less with the Spanish propensity for
office-seeking and revolution"
There will be no Philippine independence
for years NO thoughtful. level-headed
man, says our editor who comes out here
and looks over the ground is likely to back
up any such policy. 1t is an Iridescent
dream and cannot be realized for genera
tions. 1t is safe to say that nobody alive to-
day will see an Independent Philippine gov
ernment. Should any change of admin
istration lead our country to throw the
Islands over-at present an idle hypoth-
esis,-there would be national dissen-
sions until somebody else with a strong
arm came along and took possession
The question then would be whether the
new conqueror proposed like the spaniards
of old to squeeze all possible from the
people, or like the United States under
took to develop their latent possibilities
Tor their own benefit as well as ours"

The St Johnsbury Caledonian prints
n clipping from the editorials of the
Manila Times of July 2S on the final re-
tlrement Of currency certificates by which
the Islands pass from silver to a gold dol
lar basis, calling attention to the fact that
the financial reforms were all conceived
and executed by Hon. Henry c. Ide of st.
Johnsbury, well known to Vermonters
II says; with the passage of an act by
the Philippine commission yesterday re-
urlng the fourth and last series of the
currency certificates of Indebtedness, the
amount being three million dollars. there
was concluded one of the most stupendous
ana significant transformations ever
erected or ever likely to be effected in
these islands
As We look back on the early DAYS
here when Mexican currency resembled
quicksilver in its instability, when paper
bllls were almost unknown and We're held
at a premium when the government en-
ploye carrying home his months stipend
was fain to hire carabao cart to ease him
OF his load, when the depreciation of the
white metal i'm the money marts of the
world pinched bank depOsits-as we look
back on those days and contrast our old
currency system with the present we
realize In some measure the great and
beneficial achievement which has been
wrought
The financial edifice which has been
reared looks solid and as if it could
weather pretty good storm. There is
not even crack to be seen nor any indi-
cation OF a flaw which would presage."

The Springfield, Mass, Republican eau
-tions men who are disposed to drop their
insurance polices to hang on. 1t saws:
That great uneasiness should prevail
among policyhoders in view of the
astounding revelations being made is
natural and if thousands Of them are
moved by distrust or disgust or indigna-
tion to conclude to pay no more money
into fund which seems To have been
regarded as a legitimate victim of official
lootins, we cannot wonder. But it should
nevertheless be kept in mind that the
policyholders are committed to see the
game through to a finish or TO the end of
their contracts and cannot withdraw
without considerable sacrifice There
seems to be no question that the com
panies now under fire are wholly and
easily solvent To be sure, their accounts
seem to have been doctored in some cases,
and one instance of it may be considered
as sufficient to destroy all confidence in
the truth Of their public financial state
ments. But, tremendous as has been the
waste and the extravaganza and the
ilegitimate or more or less concealed ex-
penditure and the looting through dis
honest salaries and commissions and
speculatons, it is to be observed that the
reported surpluses of these are also huge"
