The Troy Press says According to
recent advices from Pitcairn Island the
people there are happy aud contented and
the reasons they give for their blssful
condition are that they are communists,
have but little work to do, use no intox-
icants and never smoke. This is their
way of putting the matter, but as the
point of view generally has more or less
to do with the formation of opinion, a
wiser reason may, perhaps, be found for
their blissful lot, 50, being communists
already, they hear not tho howlings of
communIstic agltators not having
work in abundance they have no such
thing as strikes having no love for ar
dent spirits, they hear not the shrek of
the Prohbitionist and not being smok-
ere, they know nothing of the axiom, a
drop of nicotine placed on the nose of a
cat will kill man. Under such cir
cumstances who would not be happy 7
But these are not the sole advantages in
the possession of the Pitcairn Islanders,
Their religious creed is so simple that It
is not supposed 10 require revision and
explanation they care rothing for the
Darwinian theory they know naught
of the WEAKNESS that comes from read
ing New York forty-page Sunday
newspaper, and indeed they are in as
blissful state as our first parents were
before their departure from the Garden
of Eden. The people out there ought to
be happy, 1t is, however, greatly to be
feared that attempts may soon be made
to "civillze" them. Then they will have
whiskey and tobacco galore.

A Congressman who is on as close re
lations with the President as any Con-
gresham, and who has recently had re-
peated interviews with him, says a
Washington correspondent, gives this
opinion as to the course of appointments
during the remainder of the fiscal year:
ut is my judgment that most of the
discomfort relative to appointments
which exists on the part of good many
Congressman will disappear with the be.
ginning of the new fiscal year, Most of
the leading places have already been con-
sidered. The decision as to the greater
part of them is, l am convinced, sub
stan TALLY reached. There will be a
pretty general Jail delivery of the Demo-
cratic incumbents by July /, You can
see in talks with all of the members OF
the Administration that there is some
sort of a concurrent plan as to the fiscal
year az a terminal point for the old and
an initial point for the new order of
things. Whenever you call up any office
the first consideration is, wherever you
go, what is the date of the commission.
Books are taken down, and an inquiry
made to ascertain when the incumbent
of the office that you are talking about
was appointed. If the date of the COM
mission is anywhere near the fiscal year,
il it runs into August or September, l
have been led to understand that resig-
nations will be asked for, If they shall
not alread be at hand, Everything is
substantially slated already, and the last
day of June will be the general clearing
house day"

The distribution of the population in
Vermont, with the existence of only two
large commercial centers, is such that
the reading of newspapers has been per-
haps, less general than in other New
England states, and their circulation has
been more limited.
Vermont can boast of local weekly
press, however, not surpassed under
equal conditions by that of any other
New England state for tone, vigor and
home influence; and it is a pleasure to
note in every portion of the state an i'm
provement and advance on the part of
the local weekly press, that is evidence
persia demand that has developed won
derfully during the last few years, and
that in itself demonstrates the growth
and progress of the people and does
credit to the state.
A daily newspaper like the Herald
with its more metropolitan character,
freighted each morning with the news
not only of Vermont but of the whole
globe, and great state weekly newspap-
er like the Weekly Herald, filled with a
condensation of the worlds activities
and the news of the whole state, have a
value and interest quite their own and
distinct from that Of the local weekly
newspaper; and their rapid growth and
increasing circulation attest equally the
progress of the people.
The local town newspaper, however,
closely Unidentified with the interests of
the locality that supports it, is often too
little appreciated. There is no more i'm
portant and valuable factor in the pro-
gress of any community than live local
newspaper and the people of its town
cannot better demonstrate their good
sense and foresight than by giving 1t
their hearty support. The local paper
will be very much what they make it A;
and every member of the community
should see that one of the most practical
and effective methods of promoting his
individual interests is to encourage and
foster and all the local newspaper whi3h
stands before the outside world as no in
dividual can, as the exponent and repre-
sentative of the locality in which it ex

A Southern orator having taken occa-
sion to vilify the memory of President
Lincoln in public speech, in Virginia
the other day, the Boston Journal is led
to remark that "a great many Southern
orators have two styles, one for the
North and one for their Southern con.
stituency. They wish to please, like the
country merchant who, on Sundays, was
Baptist in the forenoon, Congregational
ist in the afternoon and Methodist at
evening meeting. They do not attach
any great importance to the incongruity
of their two styles of oratory, and are
generally indignant when reproached
with any inconsistency. Sometimes
they do the Extreme Confederate bus
mess simply for local political effect
Any Northern man who has been pres
ent at political meeting in the interior
of Southern State has been amazed at
the fiery unreconstructed talk of some
we'll known Southerner whom he had
thought meek as a child, because he had
heard him speak in the North, Very
possibly the well-known Southener told
him, later in the day, that he had to put
on the emphasis on account OF the boys.
These gentleman no longer attack the
Union, and they are probably glad that
there was an emancipation act, but they
do like, when they are by themselves, to
detract from the memories of the states
men who saved the Union and freed the
negroes. 1t may be bumBn nature, but
it is wrong. 1t is like the lying text
