GENERAL NOTES.

The president has named Thursday,
November 20, as day of national
thanksgiving and praise.
The National Republican denies, BY
authority, the story that President
Hayes proposes TO recommend the re-
duction of the presidents salary to $780,
600 per annum.
Thomas Mast has recovered from his
rheumatism, or whatever was the mat
Ter with him, and is Enthusiastically
illustrating IIarper's Weekly again. On
the first page of this weeks issue he
shows the lion and the lamb lying down
together, but the lamb is inside the lion,
which is licking his chops.
One of the Norwich steamers had

fine vellum leaves, of which few are

~ Vermont's day has come. And
now let all of Vermont's true hearted
sons and daughters join earnestly in
the work before them. For long
time we have earnestly desired that the
noble band of gospel laborers might
come in our midst. And now that they
have set us the example of faithful, UNI
firing work, let us second their efforts
10 our utmost capacity. There is no
grander field for work than ours. Al
ready yermont's sous are known and
honored all over the land, and we
sh0nld strive to so keep n christian III
terest among us that we shall ever be
ready to lend helping hand in such n
noble work. Moody and Sankey have
made grand beginning, but they must
be aided by those among whom they
labor in order to work 10 the best adj
vantage. Let ms do our share Of the
work.

r1~ If Collector Arthur of the port of
New York, who has been requested by
the president to resign, does assign as
his reason for refusal that Senator Conk-
ling secured for him his position and
that he will stand by the senator, he is
taking an untenable position. The pres
ident is the responsible chief of the rev.
enue department and in him is rightly
vested the appointing power. Hence
any resistance of authority or insubord-
ination on the part of subordinates is
easily cured by the application of the
knife, and we hope the administration
will use it in all such cases freely.

rB9 The president has appointed
Thursday, the Goth day of November, a
day of national thanksgiving and praise,
and 1t is almost matter of course that
the several governors of states will APP
point the same day. The good old New
England custom of observing day of
thanksgiving annually after the ingath-
ering of the harvest has become quite
general through the country, and is an
appropriate recognition of the source of
our manifol blessings. Besides it has
an additional attraction in the opportu-
nifty it affords for reunions of family
circles under the old roof tree, and in its
social features generally.
III The report of the engineers of
harbor and river improvements for
Vermont shows that nothing has been
done on the Vermont side of Lake
Champlain this season except the cree
ton at Swanton of sixty-ninc feet of
breakwater. II is recommended that
an appropriation be made of $50, 900 for
the Burlington harbor and 1928, 900 for
Otter Greek. If any considerable sum
ofmoney is to be expended upon Otter
Creek, portion of it should be used TO
prevent Mr.. Christopher O'Connor
from shooting the seals which make
their way mp its waters in search of a
position in the Vermont state cabinet.
Otter Creek ought to be an open tho
roughfare for seals, cuttle-fsh and
other denizens of the briny deep.

~ That little scheme to compel the
administration to appoint an objection
able candidate rs minister plcnipotcn-
tiary TO England has signally failed,
Tuesday morning the president sent TO
the Senate the name of John Welch, of
Philadelphia, as his appoiniee for that
position. and of course Simon Cameron
is nominated to stay at home. 1t seems
that the administration did not construe
the request to the Pennsylvania dclega-
ton to name some one for the position
as promise that he who was named
should be appointed, whether Il fit NOM
inee or not. They considered that their
power TO exercise some discretion in
the matter was still retained. This view
of the case will be accepted as reason-
able one, through the country generally.
tR The postmaster-general has issued
an order to all railroad postal clerks
prohibiting any person from riding in
the postal cars unless he have pass
from the general superintendent OF the
postal service countersigned by the di-
vision superintendent, and clerks are
required to report the names and dis
tances of those who ride OH passes.
This provision may seem unnecessarily
strict, but is designed to correct certain
irregularities and to prevent certain
dangers to the safe carrying of the mails
which could not be reached in any 9TH

in respect to this matter has in some
cases been abused by clerks of easy and
