VERMONT WATCHMAN & STATE JOUItNAL. WEDNESDAT, SEPT.,4, 1901 4: WKDNKSDAX, SKl'TEMBKll 4, 1001. ARTHUR HOPD.B, Qeuornl Eilltor Lnbor Dny. A gonornl hollday wltliout 11 comivnl o( flro and noiso, liko tho Fourth of July, and which is uot n gront com momorativo occasion, liko Metnorial Day, ls Labor Day, in tho aoason whon nn ombargo on out of door hfo nnd on joymcnt ia not lald by tho Froat Kiug. Apart from its recognltlou of labor tho instltution primarily orubodics, it is a day wottby of remonibranco and cole bration. It is a good day for nll classos and couditions of tnon and womeu, for tho grcat mass of all who livo aro la borors and nll havo intoroat in tho ra tlonal colcbration of tho day. NovortholoBa, Labor Day is an occa sion whon tho laborors in tho varlous tradoB, tho artisans, havo au opportu nlty to show what niannor of mon thoy aro. Tho day Ib pccullarly thoir own. Thoy mako tho arraugomonts, thoy framo tho programmes. Tho arti- ean ia on exhlbitlon both individuaily nnd in an organizod capacity. And it was a creditablo cxhibition ho mado in Montpelier. That was ono of tho moat notablo proceaaions, tho parado on Monday foronoou, that ovor flled throueh tho streots of tho city. In numbora, in boaring, in phyaical de velopmont, in akill in thoir rcspec- tivo trades and occupations tho mon ropreaonted, thoy mado a aplondid dom- onatration of tho lator mduatrial dovol- opraeut of tho city. Montpelier induatry ia a matter of Icbs than ngeucration of incoption cnd growth. Prior to tho early sixtics tho town had beon moro celebratod for ita banking, inauranco, and morcantilo af' fairs than its induBtrial productions. VVithin this poriod tho two largo catab liahmonts, tho Lano Manufacturing Company, and tho Colton Manufactur ing Company, havo grown up from small beginnings, and tho liat of othcra of a similar charactor is along and in torosting ono. Tho granito businca, howevor, is of a lator origin, and from a singb aaed, omploying a belf dozen men, within tho past ton or flfteon years it bas bccomo much tho largoat induatry of tho city, and tho men roi -roaonting this induatry properly led tho proceaaion on Labor Day. It is con codod on all handa that thoy made an oxtromely gratifying appearanco and that in thcir incroasing ranka was tho promiao of such furthor advancomont in this dopartmont of aubatantial pro duction as shnll bo limitcd only by tho ontorpriso of tho mon who havo tho capital, or tho power to organizo capi tal, to provide for theBo hardy work mon tho "planta" in which to put their natural apitudo and inclination for this particular branch of busiuass into prac tical operation. Build "ahods" for theso mon to work in, and on sotno not fardistanl celobra tion of Labor Day Monday's long lino of granito workmon may bo doublod; and with it will como tho longthing of tho lino of tho Carpanters', tho MasonB' and tho Painters' Uniona, as tho men must havo houscs to livo in; with it will como an incroasing trado in all tho ncccBsitieB of life, and with it will como now lifo and vigor in evoiy department of buainesa or afTalrs. Tho Labor Day parado on Monday had its practical, as wcll as its sonti xnental, polnt of viow. It was all right in aeutimcnt and moralo. It was sug goativo and rcassuring ovory way, and prophctic of much greator things in practical dircctions, if Montpelier mon ao thoy cuBtomarily do know a good tbing whon thoy soo it and rcach out to aecuro it. Lynchor Conyicled. Georgo Howard, a well known zen of Elmoro county, Alabama, citi- who of a was implicatcd in tho lynching nogro, was convicted of murdor in tho flrst defjroe, on Wedneaday, by a jury of his ptors. Tho ponalty was a lifo Bontonco in tho ponitontiary. Howard was chargod with boing ono of a party of whito mon wbo recontly lynchod Itobort White, n nogro, for Bhooting and wounding a whito man. Howard mado a full confossion in court, tolllng how ho and twelve othors way laid tho offlcor, took the negro and hanged him toa trcolna swamp. Two moro, prominont farmors, accuBed of being mombors of tho samo mob, aro now on trlal, and sovoral aro nlso un dor indictmont. All tho othors allogcd to havo beon mombors of tho mob havo loft tho county. This is tho flrst timo in tho Stato's history that a mombor of lynching party haa boon convictod. Tho jury which brought in tho vordict was composod oxclnsivoly of whito mon. Tho trial, tho vordict, tho ponalty aro all right. If, now, tho oxemplary oCfoct of this convlctlon,and tho othors that aro likoly to follow, 1b not mado nugatory by "oxocutlvo clomonoy," thoro may bo tho beglnnlng of tho ond of thoso horriblo doods in tho South, or olBowhoro in tho country. If tho courta of tho South tako up in carnost tho mattor of trying and pun iehlng this class of offondors agalnst tho law, tho adminifltoriug of Huttleu would bo n continuous porformonco in Bomo localitios in that Bcction ot tho country. Vciy Extrnordlnary. Tho Btatotnont is publiahod, apropos of tho annouuceinont that tho old ro coiving ship, Vermont, ia to bo doa- troycd, that cx-Senator Blalr of Now Ilampahiro was coniraiaaionod "by a fow loading spiriU of Vermont" to soo tho navy dopartmont and uao hts in lluoiico to havo tho old Bbip rotalned in tho nav'Vi and so forth and ao on. Who woro tho "fow londing Bpirits of Vormoul?" And why dld thoy aeok out and commisslon tho suporannuatod nnd othorwiao docropit ox-Senator of Now Ilampahiro to "seo tho navy de partment," ctc? Hnvo Vermont 8cu .- tors in actual aervico 110 standing or in- lluonco with tho autocrat, or sub-autc-crats, of tho navy department? Why Bhould Vormonters havo any particular intercst in tho old water aoakod, dla- oaBe infeatod, pre-hlstoric hulk? Is it bocauao of any roal or fanclod rosom- blanco botwoon tho vonorablo ship and cortain pre-hlatoric iuatitutions, cua toms or condltions of tho Stato? Tho moro rational thlng for "tho lcading Bpirits of Vermont" to do would bo to commisaion hor own real livo Senatora nnd Roprcsontativca to "seo tho navy department" and sccuro tho propor rcprcfiontation of tho Stato in tho nam ing of a now vossel in tho now navy. Amerlcnn Tyrnnny Tho way tho Amoricans aro grind' ing their new colonios under tho hccls of a worso than Spanish dospotism, which but rccently wbb tho mild way in which tho nntis of all eorts nnd dc groes wcro talklng of tho govornmont's policy, particularly iu reforenco to Porto Itico, is illustratod by M. G. Brumbaugb, tho Porto Ilican commis sionor of cducation, in a roccnt lettor to a friond in this country: At preeont wo aro too busy building achool-hou8e8 to think. For illustra tion, wo planned a aummer normal school for this city for ton wooks, bo g:nning July 14, Wo thought wo might havo 200 studonts from among the teachcra of tho island. To our amaze mont whon tho school opened wo had ovor 800 pupils, and it took tho tolc graphic sorvice a wholo day and night to bring in horo a faculty to tako chargo of theso pupih tho noxt morn ing, but wo did it and tho 8chool ia a grcat auccess. It has boen tho largcst triumph for Amcrican cducational motbods that tho island haa yot wlt nesBed, and as an immcdiate out growth wo aro now laying tho founda tfon for a largo inaular normal school building in tho suburban city of llio Piedrat, aoven miles by railroad from this city. Tho forvor and unction with which Acting Secrotary Hackctt asauros hia "Dear Admiral Howiaon" that "tho dopartment has no purposc of rolieving you of this duty" as judgoof Admiral Schloy ia quito charactoristic of tho blind-eyed judicial quality of tho ad ministralion of the navy dopartmont in thia Schloy-Sampaon controveray. Tho department "has implir.it confldonce" in the admiral'a "scnBo of juatico and fairmindedncaB," and probably this confidenco and its ciluaivo oxprossion waa not lessencd by tho circumstanco that tho pcrson to whom it was nddress cd had indicated a diBtinct lcaning to tho viow tho department had takon of cortain things, and in which thia un- fortunate controveray waa mainly brcd. Tho admiral ia told by tho guahing sub stituto for tho secrotary that he "would liko to know if you havo any objoction to my giving to tho public your (rank and manly lettor," otc, and concludos with tho asBuranco that "tlio dopart mont has boon fortunato in Bccunng you as tho third mombor of tho court." Thia is all oxtromoly intorosting and Buggcstivo as well us calmly and irn partially judicial. It ls vory much liko a judgo with a bias ngainst an appii- cant for juBtico giving taffy to a jury- man in whom ho has oncouragomont to bollovo that he has found a confoder- ate. Intorost in tho ofUcial speed trials botwoon Columbia and Constitution is now Bocond only to tho races botwoon tho actual dofcndor and cballonger. Did tho HerrschoiT's skill culmlnato ln tho productlon of Columbia? Tho trials thue far, seom to indicato that at loaBt in ConBtitutlou thoy havo not produc od ao floet n boat as Columbia. On Monday, ln woather in which ConstltU' tion had hithorto shown her suporior ity, Columbia lod, though tho timo lim it olapBod long boforo tho boats reach od tho homo lino. On Saturday, in a fair broezo, Columbia wasawinnorby a good margin. But It is roported that on Saturday a bot of flvo to throo, of 8250,000 to 81G0.000, botwoon Constitu tion and Shamrock II, was arrangod ln Now York. Is Constitution boing hold back? Or ls Columbia roally tho faBtor boat? If tho Ihttor, is aho fastor than whon two years ago sho dofoated Sham rock I? If tho dofondor ls roally to bo Columbia ngain. apparontly tho laco will bo closor than in any provioua con toBt for tho rocovory of tho cup.
