THE REPUBLIC or VERMONT.
From the New York Press.


This month marks Just century and
n quarter from the time the sturdy lit
tie republic OF Vermont ended it's "a years
of existence. With an duda ity that as
tonishes Us in the contemplation of the
old records the Green Mountain Boys
proved they had Il capacity for organiza-
ton and for diplomacy not less than for
lighting.
Their constitution as an Independent
country adopted in III, provided for all
the important officials and machinery of
a regular republic. including a postOilicc
department, headed by a postnastcr-grn-
cral, and Il system of money coinage.
Those in authority applied tn" beech seal
to the backs Of shopping land specula-
tors, and under the stuffed sign Of the
Catamount tavern swung aloft Dutch in
trudcrs bringing orders from Albany.
Their committee of safety not only pro-
teCtcd the frontier with muskets, but
adorned it with scraps of paper in which
English officials We're assured that if
Congress failed to admit them into the
Union as a separate State they would
debate the question of becoming a Brit
ish colony.
No wonder Timothy Dwight ex-presi-
dent of Yale complained when he tray
eed through their valley towns that h.
could not sleep and was forced to get W
and light his tallow candle and write be-
cause they talked politics in the taverns
when honest men We're snoring
Politics to them was no academic sci
ence to be argued about at sccmly hours
and in secmly places no BAH to be toss
ed about by Juggling officoseekers II
meant their homes the right to the acres
they had bought, the crops they ha,
planted Some Of their kecnest and mos
energetic representatives were tavern
keepers as well as farmers, and, afte
the fashion of the time, handed abou
generous mugs of the stuff that make!
men talkative.
This first of the fresh-water States wa
the first country to put an article in it
constitution abolshing slavery, and in tn
war which ended slavery Vermont Dor
a greater loss in proportion to its pop
ulation, in hospitals and on hattleiieds
than any other northern State. Break

Paul, who desire to show their appre.
citation Of the work done by these de-
voted women, may send their offering
to The Catholic Bulletin which will
acknowledge the receipt Of them in
