and for the reason that there has been
so much toadyisnl to corporations and
other interests, so much abiect subser-
viency to various men and cliques ON
the part of the St Adams Dtay Ms
soaq,y that 1T either preferred not to
speak or dared not speak without the
liberty of It's controllers and owners,
or those whose satellites it found pleas
IRE and profit in being. Whether it
had not the wish or the courage to
spenk we could only guess. 1t was
muzzled somehow orby somebody At
any rate, it showed itself to be a gen
uine toad-eater 10y It's silence. It's re-
fusal or neglect to expose these dcplo-
rable euorinities and annoyauces to
which we have now merely alluded,
has been the occasion Of more
fault finding" on the part Of the TnAN-
SCRIPT than was congenial TO its taste
or palatoable to its subscribers
But with reforonce to the immediate
cause Of the complaint Of the Nessea-
ge, rs specified in the foregoing OK
tract, we have thus much to say that
an obscure Boston newspaper was
handed to the writer hereof containing
very long and putting account Of an
excursion from Boston to Montreal
and back which certain wealthy dead
heads took, upon the invitation Of the
Vermont Central Railroad The par
ty on this delightful trip" says the
puff in question represented over
$50, 100000 of property and were
holders Of over $2,000000 Of the
bonds of the Vermont Central Rail
road. - Considering the wealth OF
these zone hundred and ten excur-
sionists, including about twenty ladies,
all of whom were guests of the Com
pany," the Messenger thinks they were
entitled to some special notice in its
columns, and so lowered as it had a
right to do about an unfinished ho-
tel to see how the foreign excursions
lists looked, dressed or acted on THEN
arrival at ST Adams. Having three
editors on their staff, that journal can
perhaps, afford to keep one on the
lookout about hotels for such travel
ling dead-heads who are willing to ac-
cept the free collation. which tho rail
road gentry offer them, even if they
have to travel over brick and mortar
and bits of lumber to Tie unfinished
and unfinished dining room Of ho-
tel to partake of a lunch imported
from Boston, and served to the excur-
sionists by city servants imported into
the country for the purpose Of delight
ing city palates. The crumbs that fell
from that table were, however not
even given to the lowering editors o
the Dairy Messenger. The Injuries o
the second table were only vouch
safed to prominent United States off
Gals and their chosen companions t,
: the number of five in all, who were
furnished with strawberries and cream
abundant and delicious enough to at
tract the remark and envy Of Who'll

watch for the advent and hegira Of tn
one hundred and ten excursionists, la
