ARTHUR ROPES, Oonoral Edltor.
Up Wlli tlio Flng.
All tho country is nblnzo witli patrl
otic nrdor. Tho troops of tho rcgular
arniy hnve gouo to tholr campa amld
public manifoslalion8 of tho livoliest
interest, and la anawcr to tho call of
tho Frosidont for volunteera tho ro
crulting atationa aro throngcd by mon
oagcr to ouliat. Ships, battorics, regi
monts aro profforcd tho govornmcnt
from ovory qunrt.or. Theso patriotic
contributiona aro vrithout distinctlon of
soction, or occupatlon, or color, or pro
vioua condltion of local or political or
racial antagonism.
Tho story of tho groatuprising would
111 columua of thia nowapapor. From
occan to ocoan, from tho northorn
boundary to tho Gulf, thoro ia ono
country and ono flag. In spito of eomo
wrangling and diaagrcemonta aa to de
talla in tho national councils, tnoro ia
fcrvont unlty on tho main issuo, tho
expulaion of tho barbarian Spaniard
from tho country ho haa miBgovorned
and oppressed, and tho catabllahing of a
froo and indepondont governmont for
tho long suffering victima of his inca-
pacily to rule and his mediwvnl and
historic cruolty.
No peoplo ever went to war ln
holior cauae. Tho history tho Amer
ican nation ia making in tho closing
yeara ot tne century is the moat rc-
markablo and tho moat inspiring in tho
recordB of all timo, ovon in tho atory of
our own proud times. An instinctivo
lovo of liberty may movo mon to striko
for tholr own frecdom. A highor mo
tlve, a purposo that waa bequoathed to
mankind by tho victim of Calvary, im-
pels tho nation to mako for tho free
dom of another tho sacriflces of blood
and troaauro its peoplo havo endurod
for IhomsclvoB and tholr children.
A continuation of Mr. Davla' val'
uablo and intoreating papera ia pub
liahed on page aix of thia issuo of tho
Watohman. In his ovolution of tho
colt tho author haa reachod tho poriod
when tho animal becomea ospecially aU
tractivo to the horseman. The young
stor begina to got on his boota and
trouaera, and cntors the oarly atagca of
young horaohood. Ho will bo moro in
toroBting in the next stage the "break-
ing."
The Caledonian of St. Johnabury
printa with approval the romark of tho
Clipper of Burlington that, "8t Johna
bury haa not askod for anything, and
haan't been recognized politically, for
years." Attondanta upon the Bepub
lican conventions of tho Stato "for
yeara" havo bottor memoriea than tho
contomporarioa; and tho groat truth
thundered out by one of the delegatea
to the last Stato convontion, ln the
heat of the flght for the governorehip,
in anawer to tho timo worn plca that
thia or that locality "haa not been re
cognized for yoara," ia mighty: "We
aro nominating a Govornor, not a
countyl" and will prevall, though on
that occaaion cruBhed to earth by "ab
horront and forbidden forcea."
The Northfield 2Tews ia of tho opin
ion that the appllcation of buelnoBs
principlea and cuatoma to auch im
portant officea aa Stato treasuror, aec
rotary of Stato, and Stato auditor, "will
not atand tho tost of roaBon," and that
"auch specioua reaaoning would prac
tically give an ofllcial a life tenor of
public eervice." And yet tho publlc
seema to bo regarding tho Newa' viow
of this matter aa exceodingly bass. ' Ita
way was not at all the way Northfield
and tho Stato at largo wore regarding a
long tenwe of offlce by a worthy and
compotont ofllcial when Hon. Georgo
"Nichola of Northfield waa holding tho
offico of aecrotary of Stato, torm after

eloctionB and ho waa one of the boat
ofltelals the Stato over had. Tho dutlca
and roBponaibilitioa of all theso ofllcera
are now much moro onorouB and ro
Bponsiblo than thoy wero during Dr.
Nichola' ofllcial life, and ln tho war
poriod upon which tho country ia en

TnK Boston Herald- of Monday

But it doponda a groat doal on tho
nowapapor. Somo of tho critlca of yol-
low journallam ncod a radical curo for
tholr own jaundlco.
Sonntor Proctor.
If any roaaonablo porson ovor had a
doubt which ho novor dld aa to tho
wiadom of Govornor Pago'a aoloctlon
of a auccosaor to Mr. Edmunda in tho
Sonato of tho Unltcd Statos, a aolcc
tion tho Logislaturo haa twico couflrm
od, that doubt haa boon rosolvod by
tho ovldenco alwaya prcaontcd in hia
aonatorial caroor that Proctor ia tho
man for any omorgency.
In tho criaia of tho Cuban quoetlon,
whon congroasmon woro wrangling
and acting at crosa purpoac8,ho waa tho
Cicsar of tho aituation. If ho woro
aa cgotlsticol aa "Great Craaar" and
ho waa aa graphic in hia diacourso ho
mlght say, in rcspcct of tho wholo lator
Cuban aituation, "I camo, I aaw, I con
quored." Othor SenatorB went to Cuba
on a tour of invcstlgation, but it waa
alwaya Proctor'a obaorvationa and his
"plain, unvarniahcd talo,";that carriod
conviction to tho congrcaaional and tho
executlvo mind, and to tho public mind
as woll. Thoro was no appcal from
Proctor. Sonatora andBoproaontativos,
and mon of all clasaes, have oulogizod
his public aorvico and tho mannor of
it, and a citation from hia apooch in the
Senato haa been aa concluBivo of
point under discuaaion in a dobate on
Cuban affalra aa a docision of tho au-
promo courl of tho nation.
Scnator Proctor haa boon upholding
Yormont'a anciont fame in tho national
councils, and haa raiacd it aoveral
notchoa. Ho bas been, par oxcollonce,
tho man for tho times. The Cuban pa
triot will owo aome largo dobt for hia
f reodom to thia son of old Greon Moun-
taln siros. Ho waa fittcd by his naturo
and by the traditiona of an anceatry
that had, on their own hook, a long
tuaale with oppreaaion among tho faat
neaaea of tho Greon Mountaina, to
aenao tho real aituation of tho Cuban
patriots among thoir mountaina, and to
aympathize with them in their battlo
for freedom. And he ia a true repre
aentative of Vermont in all he bas done
and aaid and felt for the Cubans.
The Cuban Bepubllc.
'ino noarcat upproacn to a roason,
good or Dad, why thia govornment
ahould not rccognize the indopondonco
of tho republic of Cuba is that given
by the loading repreBontativo in Now
England of modorn toryism, tho Boston
Herald, that such rccognition would
leave 300,000 Spaniards in Cuba to tho
tender mercios of tho inaurgonts.
No doubt the Spaniard in Cuba
would have aa good reaaon to feel ao-
licitous for the aafety of his porson and
property, after the withdrawal of tho
military forcea of Spain, as dld the
tories in this country when the Britiah
troopa sailed away to England. Many
of that clasB took counsel of their foara
and embarked for the mothor country,
also. They fared hard in Vermont in
the early yeara of the State's oxiatence.
But it novor occurred to our fathers
that aolicitude for tho safety of thoir
enemiea waa a valid reason for the do
nial of tholr indopondonco, and tho idea
could bo conceived only by that pollti
cal freak ot modorn times, the Mug-
wump.
The Herald ia also rackod with doubt
aa to whelher or not the reBiduo of the
population ot Cuba, a million of in
habltantB, moro or loaa, want indopond
onco. Tho 80,000 in tho army of Go
mez, it prosumos, may desiro indo
pondonco, but thoy conatituto a vory
small fraction of tho wholo Cuban popu
lation. Thia llno of roaaonlne. too
would bo conclusivo to tho pont-up
Mugwump mind, but it would havo
trickod tho Amorican coloniata out of
thoir indopondonco, and thero would
havo beon no United Statea of Amer
ica a country which, in tho judgmont
of the Godklna of tho Evening Post of
Now York, tho Herald of Boaton, and
othor nowspapora of that cult, ia not
worth dying for, or is bo wrotchodly
miBgovorned that it ought to rovort to
England and paaa again undor tho do
minion of tho British crown.
Somo oxtra conaorvativo Bopublicane
bo conBorvativo in thoir viewa that, if
thoy should provail, no peoplo on tho
fttco ol tno oartu, oxcopt tno uppor
cruat lof tho Anglo-Saxon raco could
ovor bo rccognlzod aa a froo and indc
pontlonl peoplo, profeas to bollovo that
tho Cuban ropublic ia a govornmont on
papor only, and ahako with torror at
tho proposltion to rccognlzo Ita indo
pondonco. It is etylcd a govornmont
"on whoolB,"chooalng;itB habltatlon with
roforonco to tho whorcabouta of tho
Spauiah army, aud porformiug nono of
tho fuuctloua of govornmont. Woll, ln
what matorlal rospcct doos thia con
coptlon of tho Cuban govornmont dlffor
from tho govornmont tho Amorican
colonloa Bot up, and undor which thoy
fought tho War of tho Bovolutlon?
Tho govornmcnt of tho Contlnontal
Congrces was not oxcocdingly cohoront
and offoctlvo, and waa "whoolod" about
from placo to placo aa circumatancos
compollcd. When Washington ro
troatod from Now York, acroBs Now
Jorsoy, tho soot of govornmont gathor-
cd Iteolf togothor and alolo away from
Philadolphia to Baltimore. Whon tho
British camo up tho Cbcsapoakc, Con-
grcss fllttod to Lancaslor and thon to
York, Ponn.; and in othor omorgoncica
it ahowed commondablo agility in acck'
ing aafoty ln a placo rcmoto from Brit
Ish military occupatlon. Tho scnt of
tho Amorican govornmont waa "on
whools," "in tho saddlo," and in ovory
othor aituation tho flippant crltica of
tho Cuban ropublic dclight to locato ita
govornmont.
Tho odicta of tho Contlnontal Gon-
groBs, it is fair to asBumo, in tho light
of all tho ovidonco of past and contom
poranoous history, woro no bottor if,
indood, aa falthfully obsorvod as tho
laws of tho Cuban logislaturo. Tho
namoB of tho ofllcora of tho Cuban goV'
ornmont woro publiBhod on pags throo
of last wcok's issuo of tho Watciiman.
Somothing has bccomo known of bravo
old Gomoz. PrcBidont Maso ia a man
of oducation, groat intolligonco, and
patriolically devotod, hia fortune and
porson, to tho cauao of Cuba Libro.
He ia also a man oxporioncod in affairs,
capablo and worthy of govorning. The
vicc-prcsidont ia a man of similar char
actor. All tho chiof ofllcors are mon of
good cstato in Cuban affaira. Thoy aro
not cowboya or briganda. Tho logisla
turo, an olcctivo body, makcs lawa that
aro onforcod and oboyod ovor half of
Cuba; tho other half ia a district
stripppod of ita peoplo by Spaniah
opproasion, in which thoro ia nothing
for tho exorci8e of aovoroignty. Tho
governmont ia administorcd undor i
writton conBtitution. Taxcs aro bb
acsBed and colloctod, a school ayetom
aupported, induBtries prosocuted, and
all tho machinery of a governmont ado
quato for tho circumstancoa is in oper
ation. Fow lont a bolioving oar to tho
storiea of Spaniah barbarity in Cuba till
Sonator Proctor and his colloaguca
went on their tour of obaervation.
When aome advonturoua atateaman
ahall porform a similar aorvico for the
Cuban republic, credulity and captious
judgmont as to tho shadowy character
of that governmont will also melt away
No intervention for the paciflcation of
Cuba can be eff cctivo that does not take
tho govornmont of the Cuban republic
into account, and that does not seok
a cloao and active co-oporation with it,
its civil and ita military forcea. Thoro
were reaaon and juatice, prudenco and
common aenao, in the domand of the
Sonato for tho recognition of tho Cuban
republic. That meaaure of juatico
and of neceaaity, muat yet precode tho
offectivo paciflcation of tho island.

deny to Spaln the longor occnpatlon of tbe

this will be a distlnct advantage to this na

All thia Ia true and well deaerved, but ln
one home in Montpelier Judge Munson's
namo ia a houaeliold word for other reasons,
and the atory 1b too good to keep. Last
Saturday a white rabbit, the pet of four

a proper burlal on one of the hlllaldes over

waa tenderly laid in a soap box, which was
loaded on a tiny cart, and the proceaaion of
four sincere little monrnera started. The
mother, touched by the grlef of hor chil

deslgnated tho aoll was found to bo very
hard, and, with the lmplements they had
broucht. theao wee girls oould mako little
imprcaaion in digglng a gravo. A tall, com-
manamg loomuc gentleman. who was
strolllng over the htlls for exerctae, was at-
tracteu uy tne strange proceouings and
drew near. At a glance he took ln the aitu
ation, and with htB asaiatance the grave was
qulckly dug aud the box was depostted
tnereln. One of the tearful little onea then
dlscovered that the cover to the box was
not nroperly fastened, and the kind-hearted
stranger rolioved the girl's mind by nalllng
it. wnen tne grave was nneu anu a oarrel
stave. with the name ot the pet rudelv nen-

the mother turned to the gentleman and
sald, "And to whom are my little gtrls in
