whole fraternity had observed the terri.

sides il requires too much time for local

we offered the kindly suggestion that they

ly suggestion There are those who con-
slider personal references to an editor,
when discussing the public utterances of
a journal, breach Of editorial courtesy
and good taste. 1t may be a severe
taste, but don't the Globe aim to be the
standard of excellence in Vermont jour.

act on the principle Of the boomerang.
As for the "demurc opinion" we have
vet to learn that the Globe has a patent
on any Addison County news or other
matter Of public interest. We might say
in this connection that while the Globe
gormandlzes our items whole and without
change, giving no credit, We find it nee.
essary to re.write and correct theirs, that
the public may not be misiniormed as TO
passing events. And ii we choose to
give our variations in our own language,
and interfere with no personal rights, it
is difficult 10 see how il is any body's bus

HES In an able article upon Ministers
as Minister'S the Herald mildly con.
dennis the ambition of cergymen to 90
outside of their legitimate field of labor
into the newspaper arena and upon the
lecture platform. The occasion Of these
remarks is the announcement that Rev.
W. II. II. Murray is to have newspaper
of his own, entitled Tho Golden Rule"
which is to discuss literary, musical, az.
ricultural and political subjects as well as
religious topics Mr.. Murray has Sc.
cured some notoriety as sporting cler.
gyman and as story teller Of considera.
BILE power. In his own sphere he is an
effective preacher and toerably success.
ful as a pastor As an imitator his sue.
cess is doubtful In the first place he
has selected for his model one who sue.
ceeds rather in spite of his peculiarties
than by them. The style without the
power can never bave currency as genu.
inc coin. The Plymouth pastor with all
his personal magnetism and his intellect.
ual power, can scarcely avoid wrecking
upon the shoals of conventionalism. What
then must be the result when Beecher's
idiosyncrasies are aired under Murray's
broadorim or in any other form of cheap
imitation. The people have very little
faith in attempts to monopolize the
worlds attention. IF success is TO attend
this or any other Of Mr.. Murrays pro.
iects 1t must be because OF merit. lie
will have no consideration because he is
Murray, or because he tells a story well.
