ABOUT FEEDING. "A great many peo-
pie hesitate about making the usual
preparations for fall and winter feeding
and sheep are now commanding in
market. But, even if prices are low,
is it not the best thing that can be
done ? How else is the abundance of
rough feed to be utilized? What COM
binatiOn of grain, hay and fodder in
market can be made which will result
as satisfactorily as feeding, with all the
manure left on the farm ? The average
stock-raiser cannot do better than feed.
On his hogs and sheep he is reason
ably certain, unless conditions greatly
change, of realizing some profit; and
there are those who believe that cattle
will at least pay for themselves in mar
ket few months hence. But, be this
latter as it may, we believe that man
will fare best who keeps on his usual
way, ripening his usual quantity of
stock, and consuming the bulk of his
feed at home. The chances for a good
outcome, all kinds of stock considered,
are at least no worse than a year ago,
and the prospect is in some particulars
decidedly better than at that time.
We understand that the farmers of
some feeding sections are thinking of
selling their corn, rather than consume
it in the usual manner. Well, there
would seem to be good ground for such
action, and yet, under similar circum-
stances, such a policy has repeatedly
been shown to be mistaken one. -

To Edtotn Fisher, House Of Representa-
tiueS::
Dear Sir, I have yours of the 18th
and, replying with candor and all kind
ness, l would express my great aston
ishment at receiving such a communi
cation. My standing and conduct in
and devotion to, the Republican party
for the last twenty-five or thirty years
is, 1 think, perfectly well known to al
intelligent people in the State, and per,
haps to a considerable number beyond
its borders. If in any one or more OF
these long years my behavior has been
such as to justify any honorable and
honest Republican in suspecting my
fidelity to our party, or to those great
principles and purposes, then that Re
publican ought, / think, to vote against
me whenever L am proposed for any
place. If the contrary is true, as it is,
such question as yours is one to which
a self-respecting man can make no re-
ply. Not doubling that you will appre-
ciate the force of what have said, and
with every good wish for you and all
sincere Republicans, and for our great
party, on which / believe depend the
truest liberty and largest welfare of our
country,
L am very respectfully yours,
GEORGE f. EDMUNDS.

Uncle Sol. Sunshine's Opinions.

Wa'al, stranger, I've heer'n say
that there was but one purity woman
in town, and every man thought he'd
got her for his wife. Call me an old
fogy if y mind ter, but its my opin-
ion that the whole world could stand
little more O that ere doctrine.
When 1 hear man kinder sayin'
that all his neighbors are dishonest,
an sinuating that all meetin' folks are
hypocrites, pity that man, for I'm
of the opinion that his liver amt right,
and / know his creed is wrong.
1 mind me when [ was youngster
how 1 had a heap O. pride, and was
mighty Independent. L don't mean,
stranger, that I was pertiklar proud
O my buds, for I never was troubled
that way a great deal, but you see 1
was a heap too consequential, and he'd
lots O selfshness inter the bargain.
Wa'al, this ere thing grew on me till
L hated myself an all the world be-
sides.
But one day suthin' happened as sot
me to thinkin', and l said out loud /:
ssSol Sunshine, you're the meanest
man alive!" So byme by 1 tried a
different tack, an and quit my fishin'
an loafin' Sundays, an [ kinder fixed
up an went to meetin an then I
got ter studyin' an old book my moth
err had gin her to Sunday-school when
she was gal. Soon after the neigh
bors they kinder begun to notice me
again, an sumhow my old proud
heart begun to swell, an busted the
she'll of selishness, an from that
time begun to live different life,
an then, sumhow, 1 got kinder inter-
ested in my neighbors' crops, an their
cattle, an their children, an now do
believe we've got the best neighbors
in the country, an the best schools
and meetin's in the hull State.
When see man who thinks his
neighbors are all dead beats, why, I
am minded of myself, an I'm of the
opinion that his liver an his creed
want fixin' up.
In short, its my opinion, stranger,
that the reason why every good man
thinks he's got the best wife is be-
cause he kinder likes her purity we'll,
and if we'd all get to likin our neigh
says, Pm of the opinion that we'd
soon have the best neighbors in the
country.

How many people ever think of the
weakening effect of the word every
in talking or writing? There are but
few cases where it strengthens an idea.
For instance, take this sentence {:
"Mrs. Blank is very fine writer -
How much stronger the sentence is
without the 'very." To say that a
man is very well known indicates that
he is less known than one of whom we
say, she is well known" This weak
ening element is a characteristic of the
word every The same might be
said of all superfuous words, though
few, if any, are SO persistently of that
character as the word in question:

have been introduced on the subject,
two raising the limit to ten dollars,
one raising the limit to forty dollars,
and still another fixing the limit at
one months wages in the case of a

mittee seems inclined to report sub

SENATOR EDMUNDs.

We publish below the remarks of
our honored Senator, George F. Ed
munds, before the legislature on
Wednesday of last week, after the
formal announcement of his election
as United States Senator had been
made in joint assembly. We have
never he ard Senator Edmunds express
himself with so much feeling as upon
this occasion, and we could not help
believing that beneath the calm and
apparently unmoved exterior which he
has continuously maintained during a
somewhat heated canvass, there has
been that same feeling of sensitive
ness and keen regard for the criticisms
and opinions of the people Of Yer
mont that would have characterized
men of much less mental calibre.
With a voice so full of emotion as to
be tremulous, he spoke words OF
thankfulness and gratitude for the
continuance of confidence on the part
of his native State. That his quiet
victory was gratifying to him beyond
the power of expression no one could
doubt. That he loves, respects and
honors beyond measure the State that
has honored herself in honoring him
will not be questioned by those who
heard his remarks, and one could not
look upon the members of that joint
assembly as they listened thereto
without feeling that they were as
nroud of him as he of his native State
Following are his remarks:

day of last week the Legislature in
joint assembly elected the judges of
the Supreme Court. Judge Poland,
in nominating Judge Royce, said: -
az do not reside in either of the counties over
the courts of which the chief-just1ce preSldeS,
but at the suggestion of some gentlemen who do
reside in those counties, have been requested
to present his name for nomination before this
joint assembly, and perhaps IL Is proper tha az
the fact that for a number OF years L occupied
the place on the bench that he now SO ably nils,
and the further fact that am one of the Oldest
members of the bar who is foolish enough to
still have any thing to do with the courts L am
very much opposed to this modern practice OF
eXhauSting all the possible eulogleS upon man
who is put in nomination for any Uflce But
this much will say: Ihave known Chief-Justice
Royce for more than twenty years, ever since ne
came to the bar My acquaintance with MN
while he was at the bar was extended, and since
he became a member of the Supreme Court; and
its chief-justice, my relations with nm nave
| been intimate. | can say truthfully that no man
who has occupied place upon the supreme
Court of this State within my knowledge has
deported himself better or more acceptably &c
the profession and the people of this State than
Chief-Justice Royce. He is man of SOUND
learning, of excellent judgment, of the finest
scales of Justice steadily and evenly, as much
so as any man who ever sat in that tribunal
present that man, Homer f. Royce, 10 you as .
candidate for the position OF cnle1 JuuSe VI Ihe
| Supreme Court"
The nomination was seconded by
Senator Baker Of Rutland, M. Marsh
of Woodstock, and Mr.. Bedard of
St. Adams. There being no other
nominees, Judge Royce was reelected
unanimously by a viva voce vote.
Judges Ross, Powers, VeaseY, Taft,
Rowell, and Walker were reelected
without opposition, save that 6 votes
were cast for D. G. Denison as against
Judge Rowell.

JUDGE ROYCE'S REELECTION. - The
reaction caused by this last act of DIES
perate men has been complete in its
overthrow, and in consigning them to
oblivion in the State. They can have
no further influence with the legislature
and but little elsewhere. They will
have no admiration among honorable
men anywhere. The duelists who meet
face to face may yet be regarded with
some respect in some portions of the
country, but the assassin who shoots
through the window at night is unlyer-
sally abhorred. The power of the
Judges assailants to influence healthy
public opinion is gone. Judge Poland S
remarks will have due weight with fair
minded and unprejudiced people, and
the unanimous expression of the bar
outside of Franklin county, and of the
great majority inside of it, and of his
neighbors in st. Adams. will be accepted
as final and conclusive. But it would
seem to an Indifferent person that the
judge should remove every appearance
of evil even, and give to his associates
at the bar here no opportunity for fur
ther fault-finding to any extent. They
should not be allowed to claim that the
least favoritism can possibly be shown
to any member of the bar practicing
one has superior Office advantages,
though it be the judges own son.
Every lawyer at the bar should be given
an even chance, and we have no doubt
but every practicing attorney receives
equal consideration now. But the dp-
peGrGnce of favOritiSm II and this is all
that we believe that there is of the
complaint - should be avoided. - St.
Adams Messenger.
