The statute work of st. JohnSbury is
about equal to all of the other above
mentioned towns Qeaving out Water
ford), and has 80 miles to keep in re-
pair; while the other towns with the
same means have to support $40 miles.
Perhaps St. Johnsbury has none too
much to keep its road in such condition
as they should be, considering its i'm
portance as a centre of business and
travel; but if after having had for a
good number of years so large an
amount to put their roads in good or
der as they now are, if they have not
superabundance, some if not all the
others are a good way behind for
means, so far as statute work goes.
Under the late Act as to liabilities of
towns, it is fair to presume that the
travelling public are not going to be
satisfied with the present condition OF
roads generally; and as the annual
March Meetings are near at hand, it is
a matter that will require more than
ordinary attention at said meetings; if
the equalization law proves practically
what is claimed in theory, the amount
ofstatute work will be increased perhaps
some 40 per cent. Our school fund
will also be advanced in the same "a

The Chinese Bugbear.

Now that the Chinese treaty has
been effected, and it is settled that this
country may limit Chinese immigration,
it is observation-disclosures intelligent peo-
pie knew before-that there is no great
number of Chinese in this country, and
never has been. The late census OF
California shows that even in that
state. the paradise of John, there are
but rs, 900 Chinese, in total popula-
ton of over $4,000. San Francisco.
with a population of 233, $50, has only
2I,745 Chinese-not One-third what
has currently been assigned to the
Chinese quarter of that city alone.
In Colorado too, the census shows
but Clio Chinese in total population of
1874, 6I9 persons. Aud Denver, with its
dreadful Chinese riot last fall, can scare
up only 23S Cinnamon in a population
in the county of Sc Gas. 1t is evident
that prejudice against the Chinese is
out of proportion to the number in this
country, and it is the opiuion of careful
observers that the number will not
very rapidly increase.

Here are some of the elements of
which our president-elect is expected to
erect a beautiful palace of brotberly
love:-
First-Gen. Grant, for reasons good
and sufficient to him and his friends,
will neither receive Mr.. Blaine when
he sends in his card nor speak to him
in public. And for the future the gen.
eral declares he will never do either.
Second-Mr. Blaine is quite as indie
pendent in the matter as Gen. Grant,
and says he is not so hard pushed to
find people to talk to as to endanger his
remembrance of his mother tongue.
Third-Mr. Blaine in turn won't
speak to Mr.. Conkling; says he has
long had his opinion of him, has not
changed it, and does not expect or de-
sire to change it.
Fourth-Mr. Conkling won't speak
to John Sherman, or speak of him with
out a sneering word, and that striking
sardonic and beautiful CLEAN upon his
features which gives such emphasis to
his words.
Fifth-Mr. Conkling would not speak
to Mr.. Blaine, even if the latter should
forget himself and say, ''Good morning,
SENATOR" before he thought of the ter
rible snubbing that would surely fol-
low.
Now, if Gen. Garfield cannot pat these
various gentlemen or their recognized
representatives into his cabinet and
make happy family that shall eclipse
anything in history or in Barnum's
show, it will be perfectly apparent that
he has secured his presidency under
false pretenses, and he should be al
once impeached.

Editor of the Caledonidn: Mr.. c. c.
Coffin has Just concluded series of lee

one correct idea of the eompI extensive
ness of the lecture.
Commencing with the earliest times,
describing the habits of life, customs
and conditions of people in different
countries, he gradually traced out the
advancement made in art, science and
education, showing it correspondent to
the invention and general introduction
of practical, labor-saving machines. In
referring to different inventions he
sketched an outline of the inventors,
with their early struggles to obtain the
recognition of the public. In elaborat-
ing his facts lie showed careful study
and research. In his closing lecture, he
referred to the recognition of the supe-
riority of many American inventions by
foreign nations abiding to instances

Gladstone, uses an American axe, on
account of its effectiveness. He thinks

Why Not Blaine.
Boston Transcript


The clean and statesmanlike admin
istratiOn of President Hayes has estab-
lished a standard by which its successor
must inevitably he measured in popu-
lar estimation. The good work accom-
plished in the treatment of the finances
and also in the direction of much need
ed reforms in the civil-service system
must be taken up and pushed vigorous
ly. This much the public has right to
expect and demand, and will be con-
tent with nothing less. When we add
the new and delicate questions which
will arise in connection with the sub
ject of tariff revision, it will be seen
that ability of a very high order will be
needed to cope with these various prob
lens successfully. Nothing is risked in
the assertion that any influence which,
as secretary of state, Mr.. Blaine would
be likely to exert in these discussions
would be at the best very meager, and
so far as the civil question is concerned
would be likely to be altogether bad.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that Gen.
Garfield will not make SO serious mis-
take at the very outset of his admins
tratiOn in the selection of his secretary
of state.
