A Happy New Year.

We believe it to be due to our friends and

belittle the work of neighbors, or to shout

everybody else, and that, as for enterprise

Bradley II. TaILs.-IIe Does Not Love
AHRDh.

lFrom au interview in the New York Tribune.l
II asked Col. Bradley B. Smalley, the Bur-
hngton collector, yesterday, about the distri-
button of offices in Vermont. He replied
that he had not kept count Of the minor ap-
pointments, but that he thought the number
of fourth class postmasters changed was some
thing over 300 in total of over 500. This
large proportion of changes is due, he add
ed, to the fact that in nine cases out of ten
the Democrats in the towns and villages have
got together and agreed upon a single candi-
date for the office. Thus, with no contest,
the changes have been rapidly effected. OF
2S presidential post offices, the incumbents
OF 10 have been changed In no case has
removal been made except on the expiration
OF term or for cause. There have been no
political removals. The Republican district
attorney, who has a commission dated in
January, 1885, has been a most active parti-
sah-ehslrman OF committees, stump speak
en- etc. have been asked to prefer charges
OF offensive craftsmanship against him. but

The Basement.
The basement Of the building is reached
by flight of four steps at each side OF the
flight leading to the main floor opening into
porch and vestibule OF the same dimensions
IS those above. At the right Of the vesti-
bule, underneath the ladies' reading ROOM is
q committee and trustees room At the left
under the mems reading room, will be mu.
scum, used chiefly for neurological speci
menu. The Vestibule Leads into the boiler
room, on the right OF which is a janitor's tot
let room, and beyond is another toilet
room, which is reached from the trustees
room. At the left of The boiler room is the
corridor leading TO the side entrance. Under
the library room a space will be used for fuel
and stesm-heAting apparatus.
Our view Of the building is from a per-
spective drawing made for our especial use
by j. NJ. Ourrier of Springfield, Mass, the
architect, to whom Mr.. Brooks, with the cor
dial approval of the trustees, awarded the work
OF preparing the plans and giving them tangi-
BILE shape The illustration speaks for itself,
and it is unnecessary to say that the building
will be one of the handsomest of its class in
New England. Its style is distinctly that of
q Library building, and the structure will be
lasting memorial alike to the professional
skill and ability of It's architect and the good
taste and munihcence OF its donor.

upon to decide. Some of Smalley's state
ments in that interview will cause smile

therehave been mo political removals, andno
removals except "for cause, and that, as a
rule, the Democrats in the towns and viii

In connection with paragraph elsewher
copied from the Springfield Republican it is
Of interest to note that the Burlington Free
Press mentions the portrait" of ex Gov.
Smith as appearing in the Chicago Tribune
with the comment that ex.Gov. ]. G. Smith
is 1.-THE most prominent candidate to succeed
Edmunds," and that "Mr. Smith was the
president Of the Northern Pacific road, and
in this capacity he accumulated immense
sums of money" or these statements the
Free Press says that they are probably true,
with the important exception of the state
ment that the opposition to Mr.. Eimunds is
gaining ground. The signs of the times in
Vermont, il we can read them, do not ind-
cate anything of the sort and Vermont as it
happens, instead of Illinois, will elect the
next United States Senator from Vermont. >"
