SPECIAL SESSION TALK.

The Montpelier Journal, spcaking by
the card, says concerning the prospect
of a special session:
would such an outlay he warrant

primary law, in view of the fact that
existing statutes provide means by
which candidates for public office can
be named by tho people? Would 1T
not be the part of wisdom and econ
omy to mako use Of the means for d.
rect nominations already available un-
til the regular session Of the law
making body in January next, rather
than place upon the taxpayers the
heavy cost Of a special session."

these unjustifiable claims.
l can see no justification or war
rant in the proposition to submit this
question to arbitration. Arbitration is
only the escape door for doubtful
minds after all. have no doubt on
this matter. To submit II to arbitra.
ton would be an admission that we
have doubts as to our own rights in
, our own territory.
Mr.. President, arbitration? Arbitra-
ton? Did you ever hear Of Great
Britain pressing or asserting to ar.
bitration with any nation except one
stronger than herself? No! To a
smaller or weaker power, the thun.
dering Of cannon and the clash of
steel would be the answer.
Senators, run your minds back a
few years. How well I remember
It! Do you not recall the struggle of
that Spartan band contending for JUS
tice, right, and liberty-the Beers?
Did not they, while contending with
brutal odds, ask for arbitration?
What answer came back from this
great Christian, peace loving nation
but more soldiers, the clash of steel,
more cannon, and more blood?
1t was most touching to me a short
time ago to listen to the tremulous
tones Of the senior senator from New
York (Mr. Root trying to place
Great Britain in a good light before
the world, and to give her a clean
bill of health. Read back further,
until you find the poor, helpless Sepoy
band bound in front of the English
cannon mouths and shot therefrom
in order to impress their helpless
captives!
All this and more l might recite, but
sicken at the task.
We are told, Mr.. President, that
all this was done in the interests Of
peace and for the Advancement of
Christianity and civilizations. God
help our land!
