PRESS COMMENT.

We are glad tosee that public sen,
timent is getting aroused against the
bringing into Vermont for the Cham
plain celebration of that Southern
desperate, Bennett II. Young, who
ed the st. Adams raid, or massacre,
n 1864. Green Mountain Press.
At this late date officers in the old
tnion army are not so shabbiIy
treated in the South as Col. Young
has been treated here, and the South
suffered UNNECESSARILY more from
guerilla warfare and individual dep.
relations than was meted out to St.
Adams back in 1864 Barre Times.
The protest against Col. Young
vas an ill-tmed one, in the opinion
f the Journal, and not a compliment
to notwithstanding j uur.

UnfOrgiving Vermont "

The people of Vermont note with
some surprise that the management
of St. Adams part of the Cham
plain tercentenary celebration has
been transferred to Roberts post Of
Rutland and several well known
Grand Army men in the state,
among whom is Ex-Governor Orms-
bee.
Col. Bennett II Young, loader of
the St. Adams raid during the
Civil war, was invited to speak III
St. Adams, July 5. The invitation
was extended by Gov. G.. H. Prouty,
Warren r. Austin, mayor Of st. AL
bans, and E. }. Alexander, chairman
of the committee on celebration.
Col. Young's acceptance was followed
by protesting resolutions from
Roberts post of Rutland and few
scattered editorial blasts.
Robbery" assassination" band
of guerillas," pirates, 'murderers,"
are some of the heated epithets with
which the veterans and other critics
renewed hostiIities after As years of
peace. And on account of the criti-
cisms Colonel Young has very prop
erIy declined 10 visit Vermont.
AS to the facts about Bennett II.
Young: His raid was Legitimate
act of war, and this is abundantly
proved by his commission and the
letters of authority from the Confed-
crate States government. "The
most critical and authoritative his
torian Of the period James Ford
Rhodes" says the St. Adams Mes
senger, accepts and records this as
a fact"
Moreover, Colonel Young stands
very high among Confederate vet
rams and is now department COM
mander in the state of Kentucky.
He has been honorably conspicuous
in civil life and is the author of sew
eral historical and religious works.
This is the man assailed by our
bitter and unforgiving veterans, who
persist in renewing war long since
ended. The incident is not to YER
mont's credit, but as a whole we
believe the people of the state are
more tolerant and are less inclined |
to perpetpate the hatreds and ami
mosities of half a century ago.

A SCOURGE THAT DEMANDS
STRICT WATCHING.

Pellagra is not the rare disease they
said 1t was a month ago.
At least, it is not rare in some parts
of the eoIltry. New England. which is
reported to have had only one case in
almost fifty years, shows so far excep-
tional conditions.
The malady is assuming serious
proportions in Mississippi and Ala
bama. A dispatch from Montgomery,
in the latter State, says that the raw
ages of peIlagra have thrown the people
of Butler and other counties
into a panic. Five deaths from the
disease were reported from Butler
county today 1.-THE date being August
'23). An appeal has been made
to the State health board for help
In Clark county more than 100 cases
are reported From Meridian, Miss.
comes the report that in the past year
t~wenty-one cases have been treated
there. No explanation accompanies the
Alabama dispatch, but in Mississippi
they are asking how it Is that the
disease was not heard of there until
lately. 1T is noted as a coincidence
says the Meridian report, that p~ellagra
appeared in Mississippi with the coming
into the agricultural districts of the
State of the Italian, in whose land the
disease originated"
Large numbers of immigrants are
coming over from districts in which
peIlagra is more or less prevalent. The
disease Will require strict watching to
prevent its spread in this country.

more gratifying because of the fact
the French aeronauts have in the last
week shown themselves at the very
front in the matter of aerial invention
and mastery of the science and art of
flying.
With the record established by Cur
tiss. Americans have the satisfaction of
dividing the honors with them in a

Is considered that the Frenclmen are
holding the Rheims convention. and il
Is easily accessible for all the French
inventors. No doubt such am eXhibi-
tion on this side of the Atlantic would
bring out many new masters of the
airship from the United States who
have been wrestling with the problems
of aeronaUtics, but have been little in
the public eve.
Not the least interesting feature of
the Rheims meeting is that the French
and Americans have been much in ad-
