The year 1875 is almost upon us. A few more
durnal revolutions OF the earth and IL Is here
Before It's approach, custom and pr0prlety de-
mand q word from us in reference TO THE
GLOBE. We enter upon this new year.untram-
mcled by pledges or promises OF any kind, save
that which may be implied from the statement
that our constant endeavor Will be to make THE
GLOBE Of 1878 better than THE GLOBE OF 1874,
and the expression of the hope that a steady.
constant improver ent 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, IL 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-
eept of the past as an earnest OF the future.
our first idea of a newspaper Is that II shall
be n newspaper. To this end, one and all, con-
nectcd with THE GLOBE, have labored earnest
" and without ceasing. The past, prefgures
the future, and just now we feel 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
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, Will
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, believe--that the close or 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 Held and 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 othe
state-in New England that can bear any COM
parison TO THE GLOBE.
While not diStinctively 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, e0nfessedly, the fullest and most
and stock, corrected up TO the close of business
hours the evening before going TO press by
It's products ; by original and selected articles
furnishing, in this manner, as much "farmer-
reading" rs 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
reading THE GLOBE, containing MS 1t does, all
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 1t would Ill
become us to speak-lt 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 u 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
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 the best interests of our common
country are the crteriOnS by which we shall
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-
ceive prompt rebuke at our hands be he a 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 slZe the largest
in the amount OF reading matter therein and
tion 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.
