The year 1875 is almost upon us. few more
diurnal revolutions of the earth and II is here
Before Its approach, custom and prOpriety de-
mand word from us In reference to THE
mcled by pledges or promises OF any kind, save
that which may be implied from the statement
that our constant endeayOr Will be to make THE
GLOBE OF 1873 better than THE GLOBE of 1874,
and the expression of the hope that a steady,
constant improvement may continue through
the year, so that on the 3lSt day OF December
our readers, one and all,Imay say, as many II
not all OF them now do, 1t is the best newspaper
In Vermont Further than this, we have now
no pledges or promises to make. We are no be-
lever In that Kind of bait. We know, as every
one knows, that promises, as general rule,
like pie crust, are made only to be broken. The
doing Is what we propose, and that can be as
well accomplished without as with promises.
We point with pride to The GLOBE OF the past.
and can only ask our patrons and readers to ac-
oept OF the past as an earnest OF the future.
Our first idea OF a newspaper Is that 1t shall
be n newspaper. TO this end, one and all, con-
nected with THE GLOBE, have labored earnest
~ and without ccasing. The past prefgures
the future. and just now we teel called upon to
devote large space to general news. reaching,
as THE GLOBE does, our readers nom eight TO
OF Boston or New York. While we do and shall
continue to devote much OF our space 10 this
department of news. other departments will be
by no means neglected.
rhe local department will receive Its due
share OF attention, and every occurrence,
whether of minor or greater importance, Will
lind It's full and appropriate space in our col
umns. In this connection, too, we can refer to
the past as showing what we expect hereafter
TO do, only we trust that that may be but as
the bud TO the full flower. AS heretofore, so
hereafter we shall endeavor to keep our read
ers fully informed relative to all matters OF In
terest transporting In the county and state, and
trust-as we, also, beleve-that the close OF the
coming year viii enable us truthfully TO say, as
we can OF 1874. that we have given fuller and
and more complete reports OF state and local
news, embracing larger field and a greater
variety OF topics, than any other newspaper In
the state, and, In this respect while we may
not Surpass, we hope to equal the only other
newspaper-and that Is published without the
state-ln New England that can bear any com.
partSOn to THE GLOBE.
While not dlstlnctively an agricultural paper,
we aim to make THE GLOBE interesting, In
structive and indispensable to the farmer in his
special calliDgs. This we do by publishing the
latest and, confessedly, the fullest and most
perfect market reports, both dairy, provision
and stock, corrected up to the close OF business
hours the evening before going to press by
publishing articles treating OF the farm and all
It's products by original and selected articles
furnishing, In this manner, as much farmer
reading as any distinctively agricultural pal
per in the state, and more than any political
newspaper in New England. Farmers will con.
suit their own interests by subscribing, and
the news of the day, discussions Of current
topics, a complete epitome or the markets and
full proportion of matter written and selected
with especial reference to their profession and
needs.
AS to the editorial department it would Ill
become us to Speak-it must speak for itself.
We propose, however, to sustain and advocate
republican opinions and principles as we under
stand them. We are not so much oil q partisan,
that we can follow and defend any party
through the sloughs OF corruption and mis-
government ; neither can we advocate or re-
pudiate this or that measure because It is the
creature or bantling OF certain individual,
party or administration. We believe the day
for that kind OF organs has passed-thelr
bleached bones line the pathway of journalism
and II any one expects that kind OF slavish
devotion on the part OF THE GLOBE they Will be
mistaken. We shall only advocate and sustain
such measures as, In our judgme rt, are right In
principle and Will result in gocd - the state
and Union All other measures we snail I'M
hesitatingly oppose, no n.itfcr ny whom pro-
posed or by whom endorsed. The truth and
right and tho best interests OF our common
Judge OF the acts and propositions OF public
men-and we believe these TO be the corner
stones on which the fabric OF the republican
party was erected, and he who lays violent
hands on these precious corner stones will re.
ceiye prompt rebuke at our hands be he DEM
ocrat or a republican.
THE GLOBE Is now, as II has ever been, the
largest newspaper in Vermont, II not In New
England-the largest in actual size, the largest
In the amount OF reading matter therein and
we, also, believe 1t TO be the largest in circula-
ton OF any newspaper in western Vermont, and
Is, therefore, the best advertising medium In
this part OF New England.
In conclusion, we would suggest that now Is
the time to subscribe for and advertise In the
DAILY or WEEKLY GLOBE, the largest, best
and most newsy. newspaper west OF the Green
Mountains.
