Vermont Today.

The address at the Jamestown exposi-
ton by Hon. Joseph A. DeBoer on YER
mont day was one of those scholarly
and eloquent speeches for which the
gentleman is noted. This paragraph is
no better than the rest, but gives an
excellent idea of the high plane of the
address and the lofty sentiments will
appeal to every Vermonter whether in
the Green Mountain state or anywhere
else in the world:
Vermont isable to take care of itself,
as of yore, upon the old doctrine of self
dependence and the new doctrine of self
development, seeking for itself no other
prerogative than its rights as state
and no other honor than that of it's full
share in the burdens of the nation and in
the opportunity to sustain its honor in
the competitions of the world 1t feels
today the impulse of new thoughts and
new ideas but l am confident that it also
yields flial affection to the days of the
ancient, whose devoted, heroic, unselfsh
labors made the state. There comes
today no sentiment from the Green
mountains save one of united affection
for all the states and no prayer more
fervent than that God in his love may
continue to bless the state of Vermont
| with honor and with peace"

Oh That | Knew!

Rev. s. G. Barnes of st. Johnsbury in the
Springfield, Mass, Republican,
These friends of ours, gone from this lower
earth,
Where have they gone? And are they near or
far
Our eyes can see no more the form beloved:
Can they see us, and watch our daily path?
We think of them with every day and hour,
And love grows stronger with the lengthen-
ing thought
Do they still think of us? And do they long,
As we, with ever greatening desire?
In days now past their prayers for us were
dear
As water to the thirsty soul; but now
We hear no word; do they still pray for us!
What is. their day and night? How fares
their time?
What knowledge new and wonderful is
theirs?
How freely do they pass from sphere to
sphere?
What noble service fills the heart and hand?
what new companionships enrich their life?
HOW grow their powers, trained in heaven
school?
deed?
The vision OF their Lord, oh, when it came,
What changes wrought 1t in their inmost
soul?
How sound their praises in the heavenly
choir?
And should we know them If we saw them
there?
Thus eyer do we question Death, while he,
With silent finger on the lips, stands dumb.
we turn to God, to whom all souls belong,
And cry Thou knowest our souls by love
sustain our love by word of knowledge dear
VI that new world to which our friends have
And then from out the silence comes re-
spouse:
ny dear ones are with me, and know all
In IN utmost grace and truth plan their days
w ny neeoest thou to know? Sustain thy love
by iaith and hope, and wait my time-and
Inc hour when shadows all shall flee away
anu heavens clear day shall be thy heritage
ana these to whom true love is all their life
Shall meet thee face to face, once more thine
own,
10 see to have to hold forevermore."

Back to the Tariff.

Hon. Elisha May of this town, one Of
the ablest members of the democratic
party in the state, writes Harper's
Weekly vigorous letter, some extracts
of which follow:
Sir,-If the Democracy will make a
fighting issue of the Dingley law-and
its attending evils-as we did in 1892,
we can elect a president. The trusts
and the surplus are children of the
tariff. The president may appoint a
dozen rattleheaded political judges like
Landis-or appoint regiment of Rough
Rider assistant attorney-generals of the
type ofKnox Smith to investigate the
operations of trusts against which his
excellency has personal spite-but these
trusts will run serenely on.
The actually vindictive spirit shown
By our Chief Magistrate towards GER
tain men and corporations Is alarming.
For the Standard OIL its officers, Mr..
Hartman and his associates, none of us
have much real affection. But they were
"My dear" up to the time of election.
Funds from the corporations of their
managers were eagerly sought by the
man whom Mr.. Roosevelt delighted to
honor. 1t was a base action on the
part of the President and his Republican
associates to accept a dollar from the
officers of corporations. These funds
sought and contributed were trust
funds, and if these men who accepted
them gladly knew the first principles of
law they knew that the giving or taking
them was almost ifnot quite criminal
act.
For the Democracy l almost despair.
If the great journals cannot get the
people to realize the danger that con-
fronts them, then we may well feel
alarmed at the situation. If we are to
continue a progressive, strong, self
reliant nation, we must not think of
government ownership of railroads and
the like. Keep the individual, the state,
and nation independent.

Selling Diseased Meat.

The Rutland Herald makes the start
ling announcement that the federal in
spector of meat at Burlington reports
that diseased meat is being palmed off
upon consumers throughout the state
and that 50 per cent of all the cattle
killed at the Burlington Rendering Com
pany comes from cattle infected with
tuberculosis. The federal officer watches
out that none of this stuff from the Bur
lington slaughter house gets on the
market, but he has visited about half of
the 200 slaughter houses in the state
and finds that practically all of them
have been violating the United States
regulations and the offending houses
have been stopped from doing interstate
business.
As the Rutland Herald we'll says here
is an excellent opportunity for the state
board of health to thoroughly examine
the matter. The Lord knows we have
to pay enough for meat in these days
and if any meat is coming into our
homes from slaughter houses which can
not stand the government inspection we
want to know it.

The Esperanto Congress.

Mr.. Henry James Forman has some
interesting things to say in the current
Harper's Weekly concerning the recent
remarkable Esperanto congress at Cam
bridge, England, which evoked wide
spread interest and curiosity. Alta large
reception given in London to the attend
ants at the congress, says Mr.. Forman,
there was opportunity to disprove the
trite objection that Germans pronounce
Esperanto one way and Frenchmen
another way. Again and again your
correspondent heard representatives. of a
dozen different nationalities conversing
without the slightest difficulty. Indeed,
in many cases the interlocutors were
ignorant of each others identity" This
was the first official gathering of the
Esperantists. There were delegates from
the United States, France, Belgium, Eng
land, Spain, Germany, Switzerland,
Italy, Holland, Sweden, Venezuela, and
Tunis.

A Bit of Vermont History.

There are many rather grotesque if
not amusing things in history, as well
ascold substantial facts. 1t appears that
after the return of the Johnson family
from captivity, to Charlestown, No. 4,
that James Johnson, husband of our
heroine, was commissioned captain in
the Continental army and joined the
forces against Ticonderoga and was
killed in active service July II, 1853, on
the same day that Lord Howe fell in the
third unsuccessful attempt of the English
against the French stronghold at Ticon-
deroga. Mrs. Johnson remained a
widow, according to her narrative, four
years. The history of Newbury, written
by F. p. Wells of that town and pub
lished by the CALIFORNIAN Co., contains
much valuable historical data never
before published, among these items is
portion of dairy of Col. Jacob Kent,
one of the pioneer heroes of Newbury
and an ancestor of Col. Henry O. Kent
of Lancaster. This diary was kept by
Col. Kent in 1850, then lieutenant in
Col. Gofes regiment en- route from
Plaistow, N. H., to No. to cut the
military road through to Crown Point,
The items here reproduced are the exact
language of Lieut. Jacob Kent page 382
Newbury history.) After detailing events
of the march Lieut.. Kent's record reads,
July 16, 1760 encampped on the road
about 20 miles from No. A." ''July 25,
ye 1850, Col. COTE and Capt. Small and
Major Emery and Lieut.. Stone rode up
from No. to the encampments by the
river with widow Johnson, Miriam Will
lard and Abigail Willard. They had a
very fine rain to go home in for their
comfort, and it was also great comfort
to us to hear they were so comfortably
wet
The Misses Willard were sisters of
Mrs. Johnson, Miriam having been one
of the captive party. The reader may
draw his own inference why Lieut.. Kent
felt so comfortable over the wetting
neted out to this visiting party. 1t
may help solve the human heart prob
lem, to add that Lieut. Kent, at this
time was a widower, of two years stand
ing, aged "a years, while Mrs. Johnson
had been a widow for about the same
period and was now 80 years old

although having no connection with the
Johnson episode can be solved much
easier than the wetting problem.

mess. 10 quarts of rum, and q of
pound of tea"
P.S. In order to settle the widow
and widower question above detailed it
may be well to add that Capt. Johnson's
widow and Lieut.. Kent widower, were
married before they were two years
older-but not one to the other.

Belated Trains on the B, & M.

We do not believe in the policy of
knocking the railroads, but inasmuch as
the "air line" trains through our own
town have not been on time from the
south half a dozen times this summer.
probably, the scoring given the road in
the Boston Herald will be appreciated
by a long-suffering public. The GALE
DOMAIN never favored the proposed
merger between the two great systems
ofNew England, but this much can be
said of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford system, that they run their
trains on time. And if they can do it
through summer and winter the average
passenger wonders why the Boston &
Maine cannot The Herald says:
THAT the Quebec passenger train
which ran into the freight train and
made Canaan famous in the list OF
frightful accidents was behind time did not
surprise anyone who is acquainted with
the workings of the Boston & Maine.
When any train run by this company is
on time according to the schedule, the
surprise OF passengers and station
masters is equally great. During the
month of August the more important
White Mountain trains were habitually
late, from one hour to three hours. In
some instances trains left the North
station in Boston twenty minutes after

Automobile Races at the Fair.

Secretary Davis of the state fair
issued a pronunciamento defending the
fair management in having automobile
races, but we are pleased to note that
besides both the St. Johnsbury papers,
the st. Adams Messenger, the Brattle-
boro Phoenix and the Enosburg Stand
ard protested against such dangerous
sport. The Rutland Herald mildly
criticised the management on account
of the danger to bystanders rather than
to the occupants of the cars themselves,
while the only defender of the scheme
was the Montpelier Journal. Possibly il
the state press had started in earlier the
management might have declared the
races of, but now the entries are all in
we can only hope there will be nc
accident. The Enosburg Standard well
says, sit is an unwise and unnecessary
attraction, and, under present condi
tons, has no proper part in a Vermont
fair"

PRESS COMMENT.
Col. Haskins, Excellent work.

From this distance it looks as though
the east side republicans may have more
trouble choosing their candidate than we
of the west side where Congressman
Foster can have denomination without
lifting his finger Bennington Banner.
If congressman's tenure of office
depended solely on ability and service
there would be no talk of a contest in
the second district next year. Because
Col. Haskins does not "resort to press
agent methods" few people realize the
excellent work that he has done in
Washington during his term of office,
nor do they stop to think that the
experience he has gained will make his
future service all the more valuable:
The reliance that Uncle Joe Cannon and
other prominent statesmen place on the
gentleman from Vermont" is strong
proof that his constituents are being
ably represented Brattleboro Re-

Mr.. Bailey as a Historian.

We feel sure that Hon. Horace W..
Bailey of Newbury would make no claim
to being historian, yet he has many
times enriched the literature of the state
by his pen. His latest contribution
appears in another column and will be
read with interest by all our readers.
The story of Mrs. Johnson's captivity
is more interesting than fiction, and the
republication of the book will awaken
new interest in those early days when
Vermont's progress was marked by
sacrifices which made heroes out of the
men and women that participated in
the struggles. Mr.. Bailey's interest in
early Vermont history, and everything
that has been printed about the Green
Mountain state, has led to his accumu-
lating library of Vermontiana which
is the best, or one of the best, in the
state. Here is a rich field for the
younger generation to work and to
begin at once a collection of books on
Vermont. AS an investment, if for nc
higher motive, collection of early Yer.
mont books would be one of the best
assets one could have. But beyond any
pecuniary value is the satisfaction Of
having acquired knowledge of those
early days when "life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" was sometimes
sacrificed in the fierce struggle for exist
ence

A Philippine Spellbinder.

In his interesting article on the Philip
pine Assembly in the New York indie
pendent of Sept. ~, Hon. Henry c. Ide
says the following concerning the poll
tician DR.. Gomez:
DR.. Dominador Gomez, who was one
of the two representatives from Manila
declared to be elected by plurality of
81, during his campaign rivaled distin-
guished American orator in the fervor of
his oratory, declaring in his organ, La
Independencia:
ION the road of bitterness, with the
cross upon my shoulders, triturating
slanderers and reptiles, | am pursuing
under the insistent fire of most CALLING
attacks the dangerous path of Philippine
politics. shall always consecrate all
my energy and enthusiasm to the max
ing of worthy citizens of the Filipinos, OF
independent individuals, as Indispensable
elements in the fermentation of future
cultured community, people always
vigorous, and sovereign and glorious
nation The stripes of prison uniform
which are such a terror to many
may perhaps mark the delicate epidermis
of my organism, but they will never
succeed in furrowing, not even in the
slightest degree, the integrity of my
honor and my faith, which consecrate
with fervorous JUNCTION at the altar oil
my free and independent conscience"
The worthy doctor, in his allusion tc
the prison uniform, referred to recent
Imprisonment which he had endured fol
a non-political ofense, and to a prosecu
ton for enlightenment still pending il
the Supreme Court, after conviction il
the court of first instance. 1t will readil'
be seen that DR.. Gomez is spellbinde
on the platform, however unsatisfactory
his record in other respects may hav
been.

said Of the White Mountain division
will apply to other divisions of this road.
This excuse is sometimes given by the
officials: The travel is very heavy. But
it is the business of we'll conducted
railway company to provide capably for
heavy travel. The summer months are
especially the months when passengers
should reasonably expect to arrive on
time. 1t is not necessary to add that
when trains are constantly late, the
danger of accident is much increased"

GOV. JOHN JOHNSON OF MIN
NESOTA, HENRY WATTERSONS
OZARK HORSE

The October american Magazine
prints the whole romantic story OF this
man, whom Colonel Watterson COM
pares with Abraham Lincoln. He was
elected governor by p, 000-the first
Democrat who ever won in Minnesota.
His father was a drunkard, and his
good mother was washerwoman.
"He is in favor of a state income tax.
He is in favor of state inheritance tax.
He is against passes. He is in favor of
an extension of state control over electric
railway lines and over telegraph and
telephone companies. Heinclines toward
municipal ownership. In one of his best
known local speeches he said, Students
of economics have proved conclusively
that the service to the people is general
ly better and cheaper when supplied by
the city direct than when supplied by
private individuals under chartered or
corporation right, and every city should
think well before it parts with these
great privileges. Johnson is also in
favor of an advisory initiative and
referendum. And he is still further in
favor of submitting to the people of
Minnesota a constitutional amendment
which will give them the opportunity of
saying whether or not they want an
initiative and referendum which will be
not only advisory but binding upon the
Legislature. He would allow the people
by popular vote to give instructions to
the Legislature and afterwards by popu-
lar vote to confirm or to veto the laws
passed by the Legislature. Certainly a
progressive and explicit program"

Note and Comment.

The public schools of New York have
opened with 637, 1897 pupils and 6S,640
of them cannot attend school the full
time owing to lack of school buildings
1t will help one to realize the enormous
school population ofNew York to think
oft as almost twice the total popula-
ton of Vermont, while the number on
short hours almost equals the total
school registration of this state.
The more light the government inves-
tigation is turning upon the Standard
Oil Company the more dark and devious
appears the management. AS Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said at
Burlington few weeks ago the progress
of the company is strewn with the
wrecked lives and fortunes of their
competitors. The Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana, which Judge Lands
recently fined so heavily, only made
1000 per cent profit last year.
Beginning this month all foreign
letters, except to those few countries
outside the postal union, will be five
cents an ounce instead of five cents per
half an ounce. The reduction will be
greatly appreciated by a great many
people.
Harvard still ranks as the largest col
lege in America with total enrolment
OF 5343. 1t will surprise most of our
readers to learn that there is college in
Valparaiso, Ind, which stands second
with 5141 students, while the Univer-
sity OF Chicago is the only other institu-
ton with over 5000 students. There
