heartily wishes all its readers II happy and
prosperous year. The subscription term
of n good many of our readers expires
with this number. AS our regular rule
is to stop all papers that are not paid

Der they will get unless Il renewal is sent
in promptly. We trust that not one will
feel that he can do without the FREE

then ever before to give our patrons their

ed to eNpend the money heretofore put

likes the FREE PRssS would secure one
more subscriber for it among his neigh

The policy of electing judges of our
municipal courts by popular ballot is open
to serious objections. We know Of but
one point in this State where the judge is
50 elected and satisfaction exists, and that
is ut Burlington. And the fact that the
people there are contented with the sys
TEN has depended more upon the locality
than upon the method. The judgeship
has been the farthest removed from the
field of politics of any Office in the city :,
the better class Of people of all parties
uniting to sustain the upright Judge when
assailed at the polls. In this manner has
Judge llaselton, who is Il Democrat, been
continued in Office at Burlington year af-
ter year by the aid of Republican votes. On
one occasion. years ago, his party refused
to renominate him and attempted his de-
feat by its political machinery, but the
Democratic manipulators were themselves
defeated almost beyond recognition. In
that city the judges understand that the
tenure of office depends upon good beha-
viour" rather than upon the favor of
schemers and the fortunes of political
parties. But in this instance Burlington
forms the exception and not the rule.-St
IlbuHS Messenger.

a FREE PRESS representative had an in
terview with Gov. Smith Tuesday at ST.
Adams relative to the Montreal despatch
appearing in the morning papers to the
effect that the Central Vermont had eff
fected lease of the Boston and Lowell
road. Gov. Smith said The rumor is
as great surprise to me rs to anyone else
and the despatch in the morning papers
was the first intimation received that
such "A report was in circulation.
cannot account for the story and
have no knowledge as to the origin of the
rumor You can deny the truth of the re
port in most emphatic manner. 1t is
purely sensational in its character, and
has no more foundation in fact than the
canard recently telegraphed from Toronto
that the Central Vermont had been leased
TO the Grand Trunk. There is not the re-
hottest probability of either the Central
Vermont leasing the Lowell road or of the
Grand Trunk securing control of the Cen
trail Vermont" A report was circulated
Il year ago that negotiations were in pro
gress between the Central Vermont and
the Boston and Lowell for the lease of the
latter road to the former. This last rll-
NOR may be only revival of the former
report.
