In 1910 the notable "insurgent"
movement in congress took place,
which, although directed against the
autocratic domination of the speaker.
soon spread throughout the western
part of the country as revolt of the
people against the G. ditions de-
scribed above. This was first made
manifest in the state Of Washington

OUR DEBT TO FRANCE
(By Caroline Ticknor Of the
@ Vigilantes)

(By Caroline Ticknor Of the
o Vigilantes)
What is our debt to France?
Let us glance back to the dark
days of 1875, that tried mems souls.
Some think the Declaration Of indie
pendence established our independ-
ence, forgetting the years which fol-
lowed, when our lettering cause
made even Washington despair.
Prior to the Declaration, France
had sent over a million dollars to aid
US, and in October, 1776, our three
Commissioners were sent to France
to plead for us. Benjamin Franklin's
negotiations soon brought forth
fruit, and it was agreed that France
should furnish us two million ivFes
ia year; and three ships laden with
military stores were dispatched to
assist us.
Then, though the government of
France was not prepared to send us
troops, volunteers were not wanting,
who cast their lot in with the cause
of liberty. Lafayette, though but
| nineteen years of age, bought and
fitted out vessel, sailing in April
1777. From this time on, numerous
individuals in France contributed
large sums of money, among them
the beautiful Duchess of Orleans
who gave to John Paul Jones at one
time $4,000 to fit out the "Bor
Homme Richard," donating it, she
said, "to the great cause of which he
was the ablest and bravest champion
+; of the sea-"
The arrival Of Lafayette, at mo.
ment of grave perplexity for Wash
ington, brought cheer and inspira
ton. Washington welcomed almost
as son the modest Frenchman, who
said, 81 am here to learn and not to
teach" and who during the next
two years rendered such brilliant
military service, returning to Franc,
in 1879 to secure for US the help hi
saw that we must have. He urget
the immediate sending of $4,000
troops, and Of the necessary fleet
and in April 1880, he returned tt
America, announcing the success Of
his mission.
This good news camG in times o.
deepest gloom when even the valian
spirit of Washington was almos
vanished. The army was freezing
starving, and without money o
clothes. The soldiers, without shoes
left bloody footprints behind then
as they marched. The finances wer

ing when in July seven ships-of-the.
line and three frigates, arrived at
Newport bringing 5000 men under
Count Rochambeau, with news of
reinforcements to come. And so the
year of 1880, which has witnessed
the humiliation of two armies, the
bankruptcy Of Congress, the spread
of treason and mutiny, brought
great hope from France. And the
announcement of the French ALI
ance placed us before all Europe as
an acknowledged independent ma
ton.

French fleet commanded by
deGrasse-28 ships-of-the-line, 6
frigates carrying 100 guns, and
10000 men. And when the glorious
news that they had come gladdened
| the heart of Washington, he, with
1000 Continentals, accompanied by
Rochambeau with 1000 Frenchmen,
began a march, the destination Of
which was known to only these two
commanders. On August 81, the
great French squadron was on the
scene having gained decisive VIC

sent ashore under the Marquis Saint
Simon, which by reinforcing Lafay-
cite, enabled him to take his stand
across the neuinsula at Williams
burg, thus cutting off Cornwallls
from possible retreat. So for SIX
days the Frenchmen held CornwanD

TROLLEY EXTENSION
 IS ASSURED HERE
People in Southeast Section
 Need Not Worry

The charter rights asked by the Connecticut company which will pro- vide for the extension of the East Main street trolley line to the rail- road crossing on Smaliey street, end also for tho extension of tho Pleasant street line through Fairview and Kel- sey streets to Rocky Hill avenue has been reported favorably by the rail- road conmittee and will be passed by the legislature next week, accord ing to Senator George W. Kiett.
 Duo to a misunderstanding as to legislative procedure many people in the districts which are to be benefited by these trolley extensions haws been of the opinion that tho axtensaons had been refused because the rail- road committee earlier in the week reported pnfavorably on . petition for the saine. According to the rules of the Connecticut general assembly every petition, resolution or bill re- ferred to a committee must be re- ported back to the assembly either favorably or unfavorably. No items can be killed in the committee rooms. Thus 1t often occurs that several bills. petitions or resolutions are received W hich have to deal with tho same business. It was this way with the petition reported unfavorably but the trolley extensions were taken care of in charter bill presented by the railroad. Inasmuch as but one favorable report is necessary this duplicate petition was reported un- favorab1y in order to dispose of 1t.
 The favorable report to charter the Stanley Railway company will be presented to the legislature for action late next week and will be passed the following week by both houses. AL though Senator Klett and Represen- tatives Hill and Covert were not much in evidence at these railroad hear ings. they did considerable quiet mis- sionary work with the railroad com- mittee members and to their efforts in behalf of New Britain Is due in a large measure these favorable reports.
 Representative Covert, who is member of the roads. rivers and bridges committee, visited State High way Commissioner Bennett early in the week relative to the bad condi- ton of the highway between this city and Hartford. As a result yes- terday the state department had three scrapers at work near Clayton filling in the ruts and leveling the road.
