The steamer City of Mackinac has
developed into considerable of racer
this year, owing to her compound en-
CINE working much better than it did
last year. Last week she left Harris
vile some twenty minutes after the
steamer Arundel, and yet reached
this port several minutes ahead of the
Arundel. Thursday last she tried
her speed with the propeller Hudson,
from Port Huron to Sand Beach, and
beat the Hudson at least four miles.

The past month of May has been
the coolest of any May that we can
remember. The winds have been
cold, the skies covered with thick
clouds, cold rains were frequent, and
sunshine was scarce article. AS a
matter of fact, people suffered more
from cold during May than they did
during December. May will be re.
membered as cold, disagreeable and
cherries month. and it is to be hoped
that another like it will never again
be experienced at this vicinity.

President Harrison.

President elect Benjamin Harrison
has many reasons for self congratula-
ton over the result of the election.
The nomination came to him unsOught.
He accepted it with becoming modesty,
and from that time to this has con-
Quoted himself in a most becoming
manner. Remaining at his home in
Indianapolis he has not "worked' in
the canvass in political sense. When
visited as has been frequently the case
by various delegations, he has well
coined them all with a courtesy charac-
teristic of the Christian gentleman that
he is. He must be included in the two
or three who, during the campaign,
have delivered the greatest number of
speeches, if that is the proper term to
use in designating the responses he has
been obliged to make to the platitudes
of his thousand and one visitors. In
these addresses he has been exceeding
ly happy, has given evidence of ability
and has won for himself friends. If he
has contributed any "boodle" to the
campaign fund, the fact has not reach
ed the ears of his opponents. Taken
altogether he has been well nigh an
ideal candidate in many particulars
and we have great hopes that he will
prove an ideal president.

The State Printing.

The Free Press calls attention to
recent failure of the Rand-Avery print
ing company, successors to Rand &.
Avery, who failed few years ago.
These firms both collapsed because
they labored under the impression that
they had call to do all the printing
in New England and tried to answer
the call. The price received for work
was matter of secondary Importance
so long as they kept busy. The result
was seeming prosperity for a season,
but collapse eventually, for it is a
well known fact that they frequently
did printing at an actual loss. There
are many lessons conveyed by the
failure of these firms that are too evil
dent to need that special attention be
called to them.
1t seems to us, however, that it is
time for Vermont to keep her state
printing at home. This company came
up into Vermont and competed for the
state work with Vermont printers.
They took work much lower than the
printers of this state could afford to do
it, lower than they themselves could
afford to do it as the result shows, and
as consequence have failed twice in
a few years. We maintain that this
is altogether wrong. The state should
give it's business to the business firms
of the state. There is sufficient COM
petition among the printing houses of
Vermont to insure as close figuring on
contracts for printing as diving prices"
will warrant. There is no good reason
why this work should be taken out of
the state. While our Legislators and
state officers are crying out for the pro-
lection of home industries, let them
furnish protection by giving home in
dustries the patronage of the state, and
not compelling our business men in
any department to compete with the
bankrupt firms of Massachusetts and
New York cities.

PEACHAM.

During the adjournment of the legis-
lature Prof. Bunker resumes his place
in the academy.
Calling at L. L. McClary's store the
other day we found him and his genial
clerk busy with the hammer, unpack-
ing boxes recently arrived from Bos-
ton. Give them a call.
The question is, is there life enough
left in Peacham Corner to warrant the
purchase of few lamp globes and a
few gallons of oil to light the streets
during the coming winter9 Hark
1t was either knave or fool who
stole the prohibition flag the other
night. General Dix would have pre-
scribed properly for him. $25 reward
is offered for the conviction of the thief.
The exhibition given at the town
hall last Friday evening by the schol-
ars of the corner school was a grand
success in every way. The hall was
packed to overlooking, and we believe
every body who attended went away
satisfied. The recitations and the sing
ing showed the most diligent training.
Although most of the recitatiOns were
in verse, we failed to note that sing
song mode of defamation that charac-
terized such performances "when we
were boys" thirty years ago. Miss
Harvey is one of our most popular
teachers, and she richly deserves her
popularity. By the way, owing to the
increase in the number of scholars, the
school room seats are OvercrOwded.
Wouldn't few extra desks be profit

The French Want Canada.

A new phase of the Canadian prob
lem is developing in the effort which
the Quebec government is putting
forth to induce the return of the many
thousands of French Canadians from
the United States. One of the two
commissioners who have the matter in
hand is already operating among the
manufacturing centres of Massachu-
sets. The French Canadian popula-
ton of the United States is half a mill
lion. 1t is maintained that never in
the history of the Dominion has the
nationalist feeling run as high as now.
In the French heart there has always
been instilled the hope that some day
they would retrieve that which they
lost in 1859, and that the French would
once again dominate in Canada. 1t is
to this end that the Quebec govern
ment is using every effort to induce
the French to return.

important hearings on Wednesday and
Thursday of last week, among them

they will be delivered next Friday.

THE RESULT.

The presidential election of 1888,
that has been so stubbornly fought by
both sides is at an end. The result is
a surprise to many, removing from Of
fee President Cleveland after only q
four-years term of service and return
ing the government so far as the chief
executive is concerned to the republi-
can party. Benjamin Harrison of In
diana is to be the next president of
these United States il any dependence
at all can be placed on the returns,
which at this writing admit of no ques-
ton.
The election in the country as gen.
eral thing passed off quietly. Charges
of fraud will undoubtedly be raised
with more or less foundation for the
charges, for there isn't much doubt but
that both parties have resorted to the
use of "bOodle" in some sections of the
country to influence voters. AS a
whole, however, never for many years
has campaign in this country been
fought on so high plane.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The yellow fever scourge clings with
great persistence to the stricken dis
tricts. 1t is under control to great
extent and the deaths are less frequent
than a short time ago, but there are
still new cases daily.
Boston loses another Congregation al
minister in Rev. DR.. j. t. Duryea, who
has accepted call to Omaha. He
goes at smaller salary believing that
it is not right for so many ministers to be
gathered in the coast cities, while the
West is crying for men.
Erastus Wiman says, that an invi-
tation to join the Union, coupled with
conditions of the highest advantage,
will within q very short period be af-
forded to Canada, there is no matter
of doubt. 1t is doubtful if in all the
history of nations an invitation more
hearty, more attractive or more advan-
tageous will have ever been recorded
in the annals of time.
DR.. F. A. Noble re tires from the ed
itor's chair of the Chicago Advance
and Rev. G.. F. Thwing has been added
to the editorial staff. The Advance
has steadily improved under DR.. No
ble's charge and we hope to see occa-
sional articles from his pen in the flu
ture. Among the writers engaged for
1889 is Mrs. G.. l.. Goodell of st. Louis
hO itnc ri al 70 rt Mt
of Christian Endeavor.
G.. HI. Merrill, the well-known White
Mountain hotel proprietor, left for
California last week to assume the
management for the third season of the
Raymond hotel at East Pasadena. This
hotel is owned by the Raymond of eX-
cursion fame and is the leading hotel
of the far West outside of San Fran
cisco. Its service is unequaled any
where which is accounted for by con-
sidering that Mr.. Merrill transports his
small army of porters, clerks and wait
ers from the Crawford house in the fall
and back again in the spring at cost
of several thousand dollars annually.
