The year 1875 is almost upon US. A few more
diurnal revolutions OF the earth and 1t Is here
Before its approach, custom and proprlety de-
mand q word from US In reference to THE
GLOBE, We enter upon this new veal, untram-
mcled by pledges or promises OF any kind, save
that which may be implied from the statement
that our constant endeayor VIII be to make IHE
GLOBE OF 1873 better than THE GLOBE CT l5Il
and the expression OF the hope that Il steady
constant improvement may continue through
the year, so that on the 9si day OF December
our readers one and all,linay say, as many II
not all OF them now do, II IL the best newspaper
In vermont. Further than this, we have now
no pledges or promises to make. We are no be-
llever In that Kind of bait. We know, as every
one knows, that promises, as q general rule,
like pie crust, are made only to be broken. The
doing is what we propose, and that can be AZ
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 &C.
cept OF the past as an earnest OF the future.
Our first idea OF q newspaper Is that It shall
be a newspaper. 10 this end, one and all, con
lyand without ceaslng. The past preilgures
the future, and Just now we feel called upon TO
devote large space to general news. reaching,
as THE GLOBE does, our readers IRON eight TO
twenty-f0ur hours In advance of the newspapers
OF Boston or New York. While we do and shall
continue to devote much OF our space to this
department OF news. other departments VIII be
by no means neglected.
The local department Will receive its due
share OF attention, and every occurrence,
whether OF minor or greater Importance, VIII
ma It's 1ull 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 I'm the county and state, and
trust-as we, ALSO beleve-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
a ma
not surpass we hope to equal the only other
newspaper-and that Is published without the
state-in New England that can bear any com.
parison to THE GLOBE.
While not dlstinctively 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, c0nfessedly, the fullest and most
perfect market reports, both dairy, provision
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 farmers
reading" as any distinctively agricultural pa
per in the state, and more than any political
newspaper In New England. Farmers VIII con-
reading THE GLOBE, containing as 1t does, all
the news OF the day, discussions of current
topics, complete epitome OF the markets and
u full proportion OF matter written and selected
with especial reference TO Their profession and
needs.
AS to the editorial department 1t 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 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 u 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 savsh
| devotion on the part OF THE GLOBE they Will be
| mistaken. We.shaU 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 un-
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 crlterlons BY which we shall
Judge II the abfalii evc these 10 je i e public
stones on which the fabric OF the republican
| party was erected, and he who lays violent
| hands on these precious corner stones Will re-
| ceive prompt rebuke at our hands be lie Il dem
Ocrat or republican.
| THE GLOBE is now, us 1t has ever been, the
largest newspaper In Vermont II not In New
| Engand--the largest In actual size, the largest
| In the amount OF reading matter therein and
We also, believe IL to be the largest in clrcula-
| 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.
