The Result.

Having shown to the satisfaction of
all reasonable persons what was the
head and front and animus of the at
tack upon the st. JOhnsbury liquor
agency, and the town having decided
10y vote to continue the safeguards pre-
scribed by law about the sale of liquors,
we shall not continue a discussion upon
side issues, however much miscellaneous
and belligerant parties may seek it.
For ourselves, we feel very little the
assaults of the rum interests, either
when conducted directly by them, as
has frequently been the case heretofore,
OF i'll the more subtle way of making a
cat's-paw of some men who have a
temperance reputation, as in the pres
ent instance. In either case their bill
lingsgate falls alike harmless upon
our head. We can endure the shots if
they can bear the recoil. Especially
have the friends of Mr. Emerson Hall
reason to he gratified that in the I'M
warranted and malignant attack upon
him, he has conducted himself as a
Christian man should and that wher-
ever known, his simple word outweighs
a hundred fold the affidavits of all the
rum sellers and all the go-betweens
that the enemy can produce.

George Wi1liam Curtis

Probably there is no more level head
ed and far-seeing politician in the coun-
try to-day than Mr.. Curtis. There is
no doubt but he is patriot to the core
He has for many years been a writer of
no mean reputation, and his Judgment
on the political signs of the times has
been quoted everywhere. We think
at this time his views are weighty, and
worthy of serious consideration. He
has already declared that the move
ment to nominate Grant sis due to a
clique of self-seeking politicians" He
claims that if Grant is nominated, the
Republican party will be defeated and
disorganized. Mr.. Curtis referred to
the action of the Vermont and Indiana
conventions, showing no manifestation
whatever for a third term. Maine also
failed to show any such preferences.
Mr.. Curtis declares that the people ev-
erywhere are becoming alarmed at the
real state of affairs, as they now appear,
being managed by "machine politi-
Clans" almost exclusively. He says the
result of the Pennsylvania convention
was "snap judgment" He continues,
81 believe feeling is developing that
Will be more powerful than the ma
Chine" The methods of wise men will

The Irish Distress.

There is no doubt but great suffering
exists in some parts of Ireland, and it
is a good thing to know that the Irish
people of this country are benevolent
hearted, and have generously respond
ed to appeals for aid. But there is
something queer after all, in the con-
duct of Parnell. He seems to be tax
ing the rounds of this country, solicit
ing aid for his countrymen, and it is
said he makes no public acknowledge
ment of funds received, or how they
are disbursed. 1t looks a little strange
that such a man should go three thou
sand miles for aid, when living right
under the shadow of the English Par
Lament, where the whole truth ought
to be known, and the suffering provid-
ed for. Parnell's conduct looks good
deal like that of some travelling physi-
clans, who know everything, but have
to go away from home to get patron
age.

Self-Control.

There is nothing more telling in any
mans character, than to know how to
keep his balance. In discussing public
questions, whether of law, politics, re-
ligion, social science, or temperance,
one needs to bear in mind that self
poise is very necessary. People are in
clined, Ito use a hOmely phrase,) to
''slOp over" in times of excitement, and
when things are all over with, and hon.
est reflection takes place, they are liza
BILE to be ashamed of their hastiness.
If We wish to serve good cause, it is
best to think little before we speak OF
act. Many a good thing has been ruin
ed by its own friends, by inconsiderate,
over-enthusiastic advocates. General
ly speaking, parties lose nothing, but
gain much, by being candid and fair,
and willing to look on all sides of a
question. But this impulsiueness, char
acterlstic of sanguine Compartments,
does untold mischief one time and an

Those Amdavits P

Oh yes, about those ''affidavits ~
We had almost forgotten to mention
that they appeared last week in the
double-headed organ of that party
the newspaper twins" as it were.
These affidavits were from George
Walker, his clerk TOlman, Dave Silsby,
Cub" Hill, B. G. Howe and Elisha
May-all good temperance men and
true. The mountain labored and
brought forth a mouse-and such
mouse. These affidavits did not touch
Mr.. Halls administration at all, except
what he had already declared in the
i. e., that he sold ale to
reputable citizen who procured it for
Carl Zerlahn and also his conversa-
ton with B. G.. Howe, when he told
him he should treat his order as he
would that of any other citizen. The
other sworn statements were about
things back years ago; and besides,
they were most of them from men on
whose affidavit no ordinary jury would
condemn a dog-that is, if the dog had
previously borne good character.
Of all the "thin" things ever imposed
on long-suffering public, these affida-
Wits bear the palm, and this is the gen.
eral verdict. But as long as they dc
not touch Mr.. Hall, or the agency as il
has been of late, they are not worth
further comment. They killed them
selves.

Labor Strikes Again.

1t is a great pity that the labor agi-
tation has commenced again. It seems
that there are men in this country
whose principle business it is to stir up
discomfort and ill feeling. In New
York, at Fall River, and at various
other places, trouble has already be-
gun; and unless some great change
takes place soon, it looks as though it
would become very serious matter in
a few months. Can it be, that in the
very hour of returning prosperity to
our country, these disturbances are be-
ing fOmented for political purposes 2
We think no better of some of the
machine men," than to be in just this
business.

The Year 1880.

In political point of view, if in no
other, this year is destined to be an
eventful one. There has been SO much
conniving among Office seekers and
wire pullers in the last four years, that
honest patriots everywhere begin to
think that things are looking serious.
The elections have been perverted, the
counting of votes interfered with, mObs
have appeared, and in many places
something a good deal like anarchy
has existed. The good people of this
country are tired of this, and they are
going to try the present year and see
if things cannot be set to rights. This
year we hold the various state and ma
tioual conventions and elections, as
well as those town and county in our
own state. 1t is a good time now for
citizens to begin to think and talk over
they are cool and calm, for soon there
will be strife and excitement to con-
tend with. Republican institutions and
sentiments are the best the world has

An Attorneys Affidavit.

The legal profession have always had
the name of being shrewd, cunning,
crafty, subtle. Ii some of our st. Johns
bury lawyers are type of the profession
there has been great change, as wit
ness the humiliating confession of E.
May, Esq.,-that he has been a go-be-
tween from the st. JOhnsbury House to
the agency, in the interest of its guests
who "had bad colds.n
theoretically Mr.. May has always
been temperance man, we suppose,
and when Mr.. May was advocating at
the recent town meeting the utter and
absolute prohibition of the sale of all
intoxicants for all purposes whatever,
he did not, we suppose, think of the
cases of "bad colds" which might occur.
We presume Mr.. May means all right
in the main, but he is so exceedingly
good natured that men of stronger wills
than himself are apt to lead him astray.
His many friends will be glad to see
him reinstate himself in the estimation
of this community, which he can do by
emancipating himself from the control
of these men who have been using him
to his own detriment.

Greenback Nominations.

The Greenbackers held convention
at st. Louis the 5th inst, and after a
stormy session, with ordinations and
determinations, they put in nomination
a ticket for president and vice presi-
dent. Steven B. Dillage, of New
Hampshire was nominated for presi
dent, and B. j. Chamber of Texas, for
vice president. A lot of resolutions
were read, discussed and adopted, and
we may now suppose that other politi-
cal parties are nowhere. 1t would
seem that after past experiences, in
Maine and elsewhere, this party
would consider itself dead, and beyond
resurrection. If it is not now, it will
be after a few more tricks, such as it
has been playing this year.
