what the monarchial government of Europe
have never been able to do-to pay their
great war-debts.
So rapidly has the debt been paid since
the Inauguration of President Grant, that
the people begin to clamor for reduction
of taxation, and at present there is imminent
danger that the income of the government
will fall below its expenses. One section
says, reduce the tariff. Another wants the
tax removed from certain articles of domestic
manufacture, and all unitedly oppose the
Income Tax If Congress listens to these
appeals, instead of surplus we shall soon
have deficiency, unless there can be con-
siderable reduction of expenditures. Taxa
ton is terrible curse, but the people will
cheerluly endure it, if they are satisfied
that the money is not lavishly squandered.
The people are right in saying, During the
war we cheerfully bore all the burdens laid
upon us after the war was ended, when we
saw seven millions of our money used to
purchase Russian iceberSs, and more money
wanted with which to buy islands III the
tropics where our ice can be melted then we

The Editorial Excursion.

Last week, Monday evening, we wrote the
FREEMAN from St. Adams that the New Eng
land editors were that night at the Weldon
House and would the next day go to Mont
real, and we hoped to be able this week to give
our readers full account of the excursion
and the incidents of the trip. Since our re
turn home, however, last Friday evening, we
have been go constantly occupied with other
duties as to preclude the writing out Of the
quite full notes we jotted down as we hurried
from one scene of attraction and enjoyment
to another. We can, therefore, only say at
TIA is time that the excursion was complete
ovation to the editors and their wives. during
the entire time from it's start to its close.
Everybody enjoyed it and appreciated it.
At Montreal ample arrangements had been
made for the pleasure of the party The
city authorities and the American residents
Of the city were indeiatigable in their en-
deavOrs to interest, amuse and instruct us.
We can only complain that they did too
much for US expected us to indulge in too
great a variety of sightseeing, and planned
for us too many agree able and pleasant sur
prises. And all along the route the same
feeling prevailed. New pleasures and court
eous attentions met US on every side.
At Newport a most excellent dinner
awaited our arrival, followed by ride on
Lake Memphremagog, that most lovely OF
waters, and with the pyrotechnio display,
the music. the singing, and we are compelled
to say the dancing, fifty closed the excursion
to many Of us while others went on to the
White Mountains. 1t was a week long to
be remembered by those who participated in
| it. We were more than satisfied with the
fuIlnces Of pleasure and the attractions pre-
| pared for the editorial fraternity in this trip
And it would be the grossest injustice not
to mention Just here that for all this enjoy
ment, and this good time, the New England
| Editorial Associations are indebted to Col.
Ii. D. HoPKINs, Corresponding Secretary o.
the Vermont Association, more than to any

made BY him. He proposed and rounded into
com pletcness the entire plan. He labored
in season and out for the pleasure of others
When work was to be done, Col. Hopkins wa
expected to do it-and he did it. well anC
aithfully. Were suggestions needed, the

position which he has been obliged to assume

act of the nominal head Of the Indian ser
