an honest judge, it means to wait till the
testimony is in.
Fault has been found with our dis
patches 1t has not been stated that
they were untrue; but the objection seems
to be that our reporter "colored" his facts
This was Objectionable. But there is
worse fault we have noticed in some other
special dispatches that of supprcssing
facts and substituting wishy-washy opin-
ions. We dcspisc the making of news
paper tub of whitewash for everything
and everybody. Dispatches are intended
for information. But if they suppress part
of the truth and daily with the rest, who
can depend on them? We loathc dis
patches that pretend to give you informa-
ton and swindle you instead with opinions
opinions of a person in whose cogita-
tons you take no interest.
Our reporter has been accused of coloring
the facts he sent us, of emphasizing some
things more than others but not of misre-
presentation. If he has stated any thing
falsely we will gladly make the correc-
ton upon being informed. That he has
as we suppose, given us facts all the way
through is virtue enough to modify con-
demnation for coloring those facts with
prejudices of his own, for which he has
neither been asked nor thanked by us.
The editorial columns of this paper arc
the place set apart for the expression of
opinion. and we are not bound by any
manifestations of bias by u telegraph re-
porter
For the Geographic columns, rigid facts,
conciscly but completely set forth, are
wanted, and nothing more. We do not
comments. The public is not baby, to
have its opinions prescribed, formed or
moulded Give the people the facts, sim
ply, and let them praise or blame as the
truth requires. Upon public affairs, CON
corning which every person has right TO
he informed, we propose to have reports
that state the facts, whoever may he helped
or hurt by the simple, unvarnished truth.
A newspaper has high public duties to per-
form, and is to consider the many thou
sands to whom it speaks as entitled to at
least enough respect to be told the truth
about matter upon which it speaks at all.
For every word of truth our reporter has
tclcgraphcd us we commend him, as having
discharged his duty to that extent, what
ever else he may have done wrong.
When the GLOBE hears the evidence and
gets ready to express an opinion it will not
be afraid to speak if that opinion should he
adverse to the management of the Vermont
Central. On the other hand if the GLOBE
concludes that a case is not made out
against that management it will say so, and
its opinion will be worth more than that of
a thousand tritlcrs with facts and public
rights

NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL CON-
CHESS.

The second meeting of the National
Agricultural Congress will be held at In
dianapolis Indiana, commencing on
Wednesday, May 2Sth, 1878.
Each State and Territory is entitled to
representatives for every State organization
fostering agricultural pursuits. The
United States Department of Agriculture,
Agricultural Schools and Colleges, with
an endowment of not less than 100000,
and Agricultural and Horticultural Socie-
ties of not less than fifty members, contri-
buting to the support of the Congress arc
entitled to one representative each.
The purpose of the organization is to af-
ford an opportunity annually for an inter
change of views and opinions upon all sub
jccts affecting the interests of agriculture
and its kindred industries, and to promote
concert of action among those engaged in
these pursuits, in all matters relating to
them, and of national importance.
The advantages to be derived from such
medium, even in ordinary times and cir
cumstances, arc quite apparent, and now
that the public mind is aroused to the nc
cessity of considering with greatest dcliber-
alton many questions touching the indus
trial interests of this country, there will be
undoubtedly large attendance. No SINH
lar body has ever assembled in the United
States upon whose action rested greater
responsibility than will rest upon the action
Of this in many important respects.

The Burlington Free Press thus speaks
of the appointment of the editor of the
Troy Times as Assistant Bank Supcrinten-

Mr.. Henry l.. Lamb, so well known to
many of our readers, resigned his position
as managing editor of the Troy Times on
the list inst, and entered upon the duties of
Deputy Superintendent of the Bank De-
partmcnt of the State of New York. The
term of Office is three years, and the salary
SO, 500 per annum. He was urged for the
position by Gov. Dix and many of the Re-
publican State officers. The appointment
was made by the Hon. d. c. Ellis, Super
intcndent of the Department and here is
what the Albany Eoeni,g Journal says
concerning it Mr.. Lamb is widely known
as journalist of conspicuous ability, and
gentleman intimately acquainted with
the public affairs of the State. Formerly
connected with the Utica HeydM and other
papers, he has during the absence of Mr..
Francis been the editor of The Troy Times,
and has made high reputation fer his in
dustry, talents and integrity In every
qualification of capacity, aptitude and hon
esty he is well fitted for the position to
which he is appointed We hope Mr..
Lamb does not propose permanently to re-
tire from journalism, for his able and trcn-
chant pen ought not long to remain idle

The Dixon, ILL.,, bridge, fell while three
hundred persons were witnessing the
solemn rite of baptism on the Sabbath. The
Boston GJ0be classes the case with the fall
of the tower of Sloan, and is disposed to
argue against the doctrine of special proyi-
dCnccs
II is not certain that any one would have
applied the doctrine of special provldenccs
to the case no mn,tcr what might have
beel the purpose OF the assembly even if
it had been to see IA prize fight. If applied
at all ii would have been to The Circum-
stances and previous education, resulting
in leading the crowd to the place as to one
of punishment. if the purposes had been
wrong. And here we apprchend is a dis
tinction which the TloJe has not stopped
to draw. After the crowd had reached
the bridge the loss of life is so clearly ow-
ing to the weakness of the structure that
no controversy could exist. Either the
builders or those who furnished the mate
rails were ignorant or they were rascally
and should he hunted down and punished.

TEE EIsEiesruE QUESTsON.

The Iilinoi; farmers have put their Shout
dcrs to the wheel in such earnest as to get
through the legislature bill to punish en-
tortions and unjust determinations in the
rates of carrying frcights and passengers.
The governor has probably signed it by
this time.
1t provides that any railroad, charging
more than reasonable rates, shall be cOnsid-
cred guilty of eXtortion. Any unjust dis
elimination is violation of the act. I'M
ing one person more than another for fare,
or for freight, or for the use of car or
charging as much or more for short than
for long distance. But railroads may
issue excursion, or Communication, or thou
sand mile tickets as they are now issued,
If railroad makes itself guilty of ex-
tortion and unjust discrimination, the law
begins in a mild, persuasive way, by laying
on fine of $1,000 or $4,000. If it does
it again the court may impose $4,000 or
$4,000. The third time the court may grow
more in earnest to the extent of $4,000 to
$50, After that the law abandons the
road in an unlimited way to fine of $685.
900 for each offence. But it grants jury.
That is some consolation. A railroad
may feel that it is not altogether bereft of
consolation. 1t may part with successive
morsels of $25, 200, but it has jury.
The fines may be recovered by an action
of debt in the name of the people. Be
sides this the party considering himself az
grieved may sue and recover three times
the damage he may have suffered, with
costs and "a reasonable attorneys fee" 1t
is well they have reasonable attorneys"
Somebody in the State of Illinois ought to
be reasonable.
1t is made the duty of railroad and ware
house commissioners to visit the stations
and hunt for cases to prosecute and the
State gives them fund of $4,000 to de-
fray expenses of suits against railroad COM
panies. 1t is also the duty of these officers
to fix rates of fare and freight for the
whole State-which seems to place great
deal of power in a few hands, thus offering
some temptations to bribery. No previous
laws against railroads are fully repealed.
This new act is cumulative
The people of Illinois must have been
well aroused, or their legislatures never
could have been screwed up to the point of
passing such law. We don't say there
are any railroads in these parts that indulge
in little occasional cytortion and sun
just discrimination but if there are, and
they have anywhere about them piece of
iron they might call conscience, let them
take long whistle, for the train may be
coming east. 1t is well to 50 look out for
the engine when the bell rings"

A YANKEE FARMER IN ESGLAND.-The
largest farm in England consists of three
thousand acres, and belongs to man with
the yankee name OF Samuel Jones. In its
cultivation he follows the "four course" sys-
TEN, the whole extent of the farm being
divided into four great crops $50 acres to
wheat, 100 to barley and oats, 750 to seeds,
beans, peas, ETC., and $50 to roots. His
live stock is valued as follows sheep, $685.
900; horses, $4,000; bullocks, $4,000;
pigs, $4,000. The oil-cake and corn pur-
chased annually amounts to $4,000, and
artificial fertilizers about $4,000. The en-
tire cost of manure, in various forms, used
annually, is about $4,000. Sheep are
claimed as the most profitable stock he
keeps, and from them are realized about
$4,000 year.

INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM.

or course Il paper ought to be ndcpcnd-
emit No reader wants to see the spaniel in
journalism. Why then is there such a
TRADE in certain quarters against 90 indie
pendent journalism, as if independence in
journalism were little short of felony ?
Party hacks, slaves of avallce, fawning
sycophants, may crawl where men should
walk, bnt let us be spared any attempts to
eXalt abascment into virtue, and excuse
us from lectures on the horrors OF indepcn-
dence in journalism.
A railroad is blessed thing. We feel it
to he so when we desire to travel But it
is human institution, marked by human
frailties, and controlled by beings who at
best are only human. The trustees of a
road may betray their trusts. Such things
have been known. The object of the
pending investigation is to ascertain if the
trustees of the Vermont Central betrayed
their trusts while that corporation existed.
There was still further object. 1t was
rumorcd that there was corruption. Some
fountain of our laws had been poisoned
In the midst of the investigation to ascer-
tain the truth or falsehood of these surmis
cs, persons are found ready to cast blame
upon those who do not decide the case in
advance. It would not be fair. II would
not be just to the interests of the State. A
fawners good will can be of no service to
Governor Smith. Every body sees at a
glance that a fawners good opinion is
given, not on account of the merits of a
case, but is secure in any event, before or
after an investigation, with or without one,
careless of truth or falsehood. The GLOBE
is not made of such paltry stuff. 1t has
not expressed an opinion yet, because, like

A PLEASING INcIDENT.-The Troy Meth
odist Conference, which closed its ses-
sion at Glovcrsvillc the last week, is pos
sesscd of many pleasing incidents. On
Monday, while Rev. S. Washburn, who
represents Cambridge (this) district, was
addressing the Conference, he was inter-
ruptcd by Rev. DIR. Is. lIawley, who stepped
forward, and in neat and telling speech
presented the Presiding Elder, in behalf of
the preachers of tho district, with beauti
full gold chain, as companion to watch
previously given. The Elder responded in
beautiful and feeling manner, speaking
first of the chain as significant of the
strong attachment that had bound him to
his preachers, and fervently praying that
not one link should be broken till they
meet in heaven, and in closing compared It
to the chain of divine providence in most
effective manner. The episode was a most
delightful one. The speech and reply were
perfect gems.

REFORM School EsoApADE.-About one
hundred of the boys in the Westboro, Mas
sachusetts, reform school broke from the
yard Monday morning, scattering like
sheep in all directions. A few were
caught, but the great majority succeeded
in cifectng their escape, leaving about
three hundred of their comrades behind.
The escape seems to have been deliberately
planned, and but for the promptness of the
officers many more would probably have
gone free. The Worcester Gazette remarks
that the conduct of the school has been Sc
verely criticised, and expresses the opinion
that such wholesale escapade should be
made the occasion of thorough special
examination of the condition of the BOYS
and their treatment

paired that his suicide was not his volun-
tary intelligent act, and therefore declared
the company to be liable. As the plea of
insanity can at least be SET up in all cases
of suicide, this decision will have the effect
of increasing litigation, unless the compan-
les fail to resist claims arising under such
circumstances, which they arc not likely to
do. 1t s more probable they will revise
their policies so as to declare against liabil-
ity in cases of suicide, whether committed
in a state of insanity or not, and thus af-
ford the lawyers and courts another l<notty
question to discuss and decide.
