Saturday tho Kovorond Futher, in tho town of hia rccout carccr and diatinc tion a8 a lnw-breaker, nppcared nt tho hoad of a f ow of tho parish road domin iea of Washington county to tr'y hls powora upon tho plaguo at tho heart of tho Stato. Therearo Jaovcral particularly good aubjocta londing out from tho Capitul upon which tho chief chnrmer could tcst tho wiadom of hia tbeories and tho practicability and etllcicucy of his methoda.

Somothing eutoring decper to tho roota, below tho froat, of tho problcrn, bouio thing more cnduring, something not ao unconacionably cheap, and yot somo thing within tho limits of roasonablo and poaaible expendituro of tho nver ago town, muat bo doviaed and cora mcnded to the attention of ita inbnbl tanta. An examplo of road building, practicablo in rcapcct of method and coat, and aufilGiently cnduring to be re garded aB "permancnt", ia what tbe in habitanta of thia rcgion would rejoico to see, and aoeing would ombrace. No Inrge amount of rhetorio would be ro quircd to pcrauadc them; no political corduroying could bc impoaod upon them by any of tho blandiahmenta of oflicial appointeea. Leading off from Winooaki Avenuo eratwhilo Berlin atrcet is the be ginning of a much traveled highway, locally known aa "the Scoville hill road." It waa laid out sometimo dur ing tho flrBt half of tbe century. What ever the preciae dato of ita flrat con Btruction, this road could hardly havo been, in tbe flrat days of iIb crcation, in a worse condition than in theapring of every year of its aubaequont exis tenco, and particularly in tho apriug of thia year of grace aud pormanent road asitation, 1899. For half a century or longer thia road haa been "worked" every apring-time, at more or leaa cost to the town, and haa invariably return ed the enauing spring to ita priruitive condition of mud, quagmire and froat upheavala. It has been impaaaable for loaded teama and hardly paasablo for light wagon travel. Thia road, and ita continuation bcyond Scoville hill, ia for weeka in the apring the deapair of per Bons compelled to travel it. For flfty yeara or longer the ahiftlcBa, waatetul policy of road repair generally preva lent in tho State haa beou puraued. Money cnough haa been expendcd up on thia road, several times ovcr, to make every rod of it "a permanont road," travcraable at all times of the year by loaded vehiclea or other travol, uuder aome eyatem of road construc tion of demonatrated permanence and economy or practicability of construc tion. To-day it 1b in its condition of original diaordor. Thia road ia a typo of thousandsof other roadsin Vermont. When tho method to be employed in rebuilding such roada on a baeia of permanency ia doviaed, ita practicabil ity demonatrated and tho coat ahowu to be roasonablo and within tho meaua of the peoplo to be beneflttod, tho "good road" or "pormanent road" problem will bo solved, and tho practical nppli cation of tho methoda will be only a mattcr of detail. What tho rural communitiea of Ver mont want to know ia, How to build permanont roada, and at a rcaaouablo and posaiblo cost. If Commiaaiouer Vial 1 ia in poeaeBeion of tho iuforiun tion, and would make a practical dem ouatration of tho problem on a piece of road of tho kind dcacribed, and hohl thero a State convention of road com- miasionera, no wouiu not nceu to ein ploy much exhortation or tho trickB of parllamentary practico to aecuro thoir application throughout Vermout. A compctcnt Statu road coramlaaioner ought to know all about this subject how a feaslblo pormanent country road can be rcado, and bo ablo to make ono. Seeing ia believing.

At a time wbcn tho insurrection of tho Filipinos is tottering to its fall, tho auti-impcrialiBta gct togothor again in Boaton to extol Aguinaldo, cncourago tho inaurgenta to coutiuuc thcir resis tance, and contributc to the prolonging a war which thcir aeditioua oppoaition to the govcriiinont at horae waa directly instrumental in originaiing. During tho fall and early wintcr the agentB of the Filipino's wero in thia country and at ita aeat of goverument. Every word Senator Hoar and hia aaaociatea waa apeaking in oppoaition to tl o ratiflca tiou of tho treaty of peaceand In laudn tion of Aguinuldo aa tbe Waahington, the Bolivar of the Fhilippinea, evory word of direct instigatinn to rieo against tho authority tho Uuited Statos had acquired, or would acquirc, from Spain, waa cabled to the Filipino junta at Hong Kong aud tbenco carried into the councila of Aguinaldo. Under tho illuaion theae malcontcnta creat- ' ed that thoro would bo diviaion among the Amcrican people on the aub--ject of tbe acqui8ition of tho Phillipincs ao great aa to defeat the treaty, or that, tho treaty ratified, a largo tuajority of tho Americau people would bo opposed to retaining tho archipclago, Aguinaldo made war upon the Amcrican forces around Manila, and haa continued in robcllion to tho prcsent time. "Aguinaldo 1b right, tho Presidont is wrong," declared Mr. Boutwell, preei dent of tbo anti-impcrialiBtic lcaguo, at tho meetlng in Boston yeaterday, in rcBpect of tho contention between the little Maylay traitor, thiof and cutthroat and William McKinloy, the rcpreaenta tivo of the righta and authority of the United States, Thia declaration is probably in tho insurgent camp by this time, with tho furthor repreBontation of thia Bpokosman of a aeditioua neat that hc and hia brood of conBpirators comprise tbe dominant aontimcut in the United Statea. Tho Filipino's may bo further encouraged by the aubjolnod Btatement of Mr. Boutwell as to tho purpoBo of his organization: It ls, however, our purposo, and ln thia purpoae we caunot be frustrated nor de layed, to brirjR tho army out ol the Phllip pines by the qulet Influonco ol tho Amer lcan people at homo, actlng through the ordinary channela of interconrae and com munlcatlon; but, f all tnp ln that elTort, aa (all we may, then we proposo to bo act att to sumtnon tho army from tho Phillpplnea by the authority of tho votns of the Amer icau people, and without thouRht of tho eoDueqtiencea to men, to adminlatratlona, to political partlea or to ijueatlons of domea tlo couccrn. Thia will probably settlo tho mattor in tho mind of tho Filipino leador, and, conQding iu the omniprcscnco and o:n nipotonco of tho Boulwells, tho Iloars, the Evening Fosts of Nuw York and i tho HepuUicans of Springflold, and thcir confoderates of tho old copper hoad prese of a fortnor generation of rebelllon, ho will continuo tho flgbt till tho delusion ia ahot out ofhiB hoad, ns a 8lmilar false notion, foatorod by eimllar agonta and agoncios, waa flually dispellod from tho minds of tho people of tho South at Appomaltox.

To corapcl tho foroigner to uso tho Dutch dialect iustcad of tho Engliah languago a tax of 100 por cent is placcd on priutod mattor, cxcoptiug nowapapers, poriod lcals nnd school booka. A magiBtrato was recently llned S25 for quo-,tioning a witneaa in Engliah. Tho griovancoa of tho Uitlandor aro not wholly cconomic. HiB political hard shipe aro oven more rigoroua. Tho aituatiou in this rcspect ia thus atated by tho New York Sun: By tho law whlcli wns paasetl ln 1891, and la Btlll operatlvo, It Is provlded that thoae who eettlo In tho South Afrioan ropubllc can obtaln full burghor rlghtB after four toen yeara, but only provlding tho mjaorlty of warderH iu au appllcaut'H wartl shall bIr tilfy ln writlng their dealro that he ahouhl obtaln them, and provlded, also, tho presi dont and oxecutlve shall soe no reason for uot grantlng them. Mr. Chamborlaln, for hls part, has proposed that thia fundamon tal grlevanceshould be romedied by a graut of tho franchtse after a perlod oi Ilvo yeara' rosldonco. This concesslon has been, thus far, rofuBed by the Boers, or, at least, by the domlnaut faction In I'retorla, which Ia rep resented by Presidont Kruger, on the Kround that, If they grant Biich a franchieo, thoy will slgn away their Indopendence. They are haunted, to uso Mr. Chamber laln's words, with tho foar that tho flrat uso which the enfranchlBed nowcomers would make of their prlvilegea would bo to upsot the republlcan form of gorormnent. Thia Dutch republlc, ono ot tho moat unique of the powora of the eartb, haa loug had the sympattiy of tho peoplea of tho earth. The rugged independ ence of the men who fouuded its gov etnment, who havo defended thoir homea and poaaeaaiona ogainat ttic foea, both aavage and civilized, that envirou them, has commanded tbe admiration of tho world, in apite of their booriBh ness and a certnin disregard, or dell ancc, in their lawa and cusloma, of the "inalienablo righta" of man. But theae lawa and customs havo becomc 80 op pressive, so opposed to the rulcs aud principles that have comu to regulatc tho commercial and political intcrcourso of all civilizDcl peoplea, the hardahips they irapoao upon Uitlauders havo be comc so unreasonable and intolerable, civilization everywhcro, oven in Ger many, whoao emperor capouBcd the causo of thc Boera at the time of James aon'a raid, ia protcating, and in Eng land tho proteat ia aaauming tho form of increaaed armamcnts, tho despntch to the Cnpo of additional troops and battcries of artillery.

At a meeling of tho anti-imporialials nt Cambridge, Wednoaday ovening, Hon. Charlca Francia Adams waa not proBent. Hithorto Mr. Adams has beou ono of tho most pronounccd of anli expansiouists, aud, by rea3on of hia historic namo ns woll aa iiia individ ual ominonce in Amcrican affalra, ho haa beon citod aa a particularly illuatri oua oxamplo of tho charactcr of tho oppoaition to tho Ptilllppino policy of tho United States goverument. Mr. Adams was not present at tho meetlng but he sent a tronchant loltor, which, howover, waa not read, and probably thc little cotcric of dismal malcontents could hardly bo blamcd for supprcaaing the miasive. It was not inspiriting to mon holding their viows on tho subject thoy had mot to consider. Mr. Adams expresacd hia regrot at his inability to attend thc mccting, particularly as he dcsirnd to lletcn to what Mr. Alkinaon might havc to aay on "Tho Way Out." On thia point Mr. Adams wrote: So far aa I am coucernod, I mtist fraukly coufoss "the way out" of tho present dlfll culty is uot clear, and is rapldly growlni; less so. Novertheless, I am not wholly sat lafled that the time Is opportuno for dlscuss Ing the difllculty, lnasmuch as we, who have been opposed to the courao of events from tho beginnluK, seo our way evon less clearly, if poaaible, than those more re spousible for those events. The tendoncy, therefore, at our meetlngs Is to protest, crlticlso and lind fault; all of which, good ln a way, Is yet plalnly wearing on the publlc patlenec, aud, cotisequently, barren of re sults. Somothing tanglble la called for; and that tanglble Homothing no one seema to rlso to suggest. This is truth aud candor. The ef fect on thc mindB of men who aro ablo to sco tho truth itnJ aro diBposcd to bo candid will be wholeaome. On tho mon of oppoaito mentel aud moral quulities, who make up the great body of the anti-imperialiatB, the only effect of Mr. Adams' words will probably be to conOrm them in their ways of thought andaction, and probably give a da8h of addod venom or bittorneas to their hoatility to their governmont, and thoir denunciation of ita Chief Execu tive, Mr. Adams diacuascs at somo length tho situation as it waa, and thc choico of policiea that waa preaented. The government having mode its election of tho policiea that wero open to it, Mr. Adama patriotically concludes that "tho only practical question for ua to con sider is what objection exists to tbo form of governmont, (propoaed for tho Filipino3,) andwhat wo, who woro not primarily in favor of it, havo to pro poso in ita placo." Herc ho is brought to a halt, but, "under tho guidance of tho administration, and through tho force of circumatancc8,tho choico seema to havo been made," and ho is forccd to aay that he doea not "aeo what courao ia open to ua, savo to uccept it." Tho "truo couraefor thc anti-imperial-ists would seem to be to develop to the utmost extcnt posaible tho policy and principlo of autonomy tho fact of nativo homo rulo, to limit tho inter ferouco of the United States to an ab solulo minimum," aud this, Mr. Adams understands, "is now the wish ofthe udministration so far as it has a wish or policy of ita own." And horo, ho flnds, "a wtde fleld for tho oxorcise of usoful iullueuce is open" to tho auti impcrialiatB. Mr. Adams ia atill somcwhat pcasi miBtic in his expoclationa, but tho cx atnples of efQclent and aucccssful ad- miniBtration under Gencral Wood at Santlago, and at other places horo and tbero iu tho late posaessions of Spain, ahouhl dispel his forebodingB ou tho scoro of Araerican administration there. NotwithBtanding hia rcgreta at tho policy adopted nud the feara and doubts ho expreesea, ho wiaely aud patriotically concludoe: I do uot feel dlsposed at thia time further to protest, or to ludulge in harsu or uuncu cessary critlclsm, Uather, I would heartlly co-operate. In this llfe, we cau rarely havo our own way; but wheu the courao of oventB lias made lt olear, aa now, that our way ls no longer' opeu, lt Is tho coursu of wlsdom to do what ls iu our power to ellmlnate so far as may bo tho evll wo fancy we Beo Iu the policy liuposed upon ua, how over orlglnally mlstakon." To thia conclusiou havo beon coming mon and newspapera who havo uot somo boIIIbIi or partlaan purpoBo to Borve, or who aro not fatally improaaed by a 801180 of their own infalllbility in all thinga human. rurc- Dou't Do It.
