The year 1875 Is almost upon us. A few more
dlurnal revolutions OF the earth and IL is here.
Before its approach, custom and propriety de-
mand a word from us In reference to THE
GLOBE. We enter upon this new yeariuntram-
mcled by pledges or promises OF any Kind save
that which may be implied from the statement
that our constant endGavor will be to make THE
GLOBE OF 1875 better than THE GLOBE of 1914,
and the expression Of the hope that steady,
constant improvement may continue through
the year, so that on the 3lst day OF December
our readers, one and all,lmay say, as many II
not all OF them now do, it 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 TUE GLOBE of the past
and can only ask our patrons and readers to ac-
cept OF the past as an earnest OF the future
Our first idea OF II newspaper Is that 1t shall
TO this END one 9do and ALL con
~ and without ceasiDg. The past pretgures
the future, and just now we ieel called upon to
devote large space to general news. reaching,
as THE GLOBE does, our readers from eight TO
twenty-fOur hours in advance OF the newspapers
or Boston or New York. While we do and shall
continue to devote much OF our space to this
department OF news. other departments will be
by no means neglected.
The local department will receive its due
share of attention, and every occurrence,
whether OF minor or greater Importance, Will
ma 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 endeayor to keep our read
ers fully informed relative to all matters OF in
terest transporting I'm the county and state, and
trust-as we, also, belleve-that the close OF the
coming year Will 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 greater
variety OF topics, than any other newspaper in
not surpasS, we hope to equal the only othe :
newspaper-and that Is published without the
state-in New England that can bear any com.
parisOn to THE GLOBE
While not dstinctively an agricultural paper,
we aim TO make THE GLOBE interesting, in
structive and Indispensable to the farmer in his
special callDgs. This we do by publishing the
latest and, confessedy, 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
Its products ; by original and selected articles
furnishing, In this manner, as much farmer
reading" us any distnctively 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
reading THE GLOBE, containing as 1t does, all
the news OF the day, discussions Of current
topics, complete epitome or the markets and
a full proportion of matter written and selected
with especial reference to their profession and
needs.
AS to the editorial department it would i'll
DecOllle uS 10 Spehk-lU must speak Tor 1tSel1.
We propose, however, to sustain and advocate
republican opinions and principles as we under
stand them. We are not so much OF 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 1t is the
| creature or bantling of certain individual,
| party or administration. We believe the day
| for that kind OF organs has passed-their
| 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 Judgment, are right in
| principle and Will result in good TO the state
| and Union All other measures we shall I'M
| hesitatingly oppose, no matter by whom pro-
| posed or by whom endorsed. The truth and
| right and tho best interests OF our common
| country are the criterons by which we shall
! judge OF the acts and propositions OF public
men-and we believe these to be the corner
Duones on which the fabric OF the republican
party trecscd, aud he who hays violent
I hands on these precious corner stones Will re
| ceive prompt rebuke at our hands be he Il dem
ocrat or republican.
THE GLOBE Is now, as IL 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 crcula.
ton or any newspaper In western Vermont and
Is, therefore, the best advertising medium I'm
this part of New England.
In conclusion, we would suggest that now is
the time 10 subscribe for and advertise in the
DAILY or WEEKLY GLOBE, the largest, best
and most newSy newspaper west OF the Green
Mountains.
