President Harrison IS man
whose intellectual stature is not
dwarfed in any assemblage. His
short and simple speech in New
York on Tuesday. upon the senti-
ment of "Our Country" was fine
specimen of genuine eloquence.
Depew's grafton was brilliant and
highly finished production, but Har-
rison's brief address has taken a
much stronger hold upon the atten-
ton of the people. The President
is a man of frst-rate ability, high
character and great firmness, and
is governed by a strict sense of
duty. Every day the public conf
dence in him increases. The z l.
publiean party was certainly very
fortunate in it's choice of a candi-
date, and the people will never re-
greet the day they made Benjamin
Harrison President.

CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR

The APPEAL is informed that
Rev. Bready will be in the field as
9 candidate for Mayor against I. r.
Hofer.
MIR. Bready's platform will be in
favor of closing all saloons on Sun
day, and a cessation of Sunday
target practice and bicycle riding.
Mr.. Broadly would doubtless make
. strong run with the church vote
at his back, yet the APPEAL is of
the opinion that the vote would
only comprise the people in his own
church.
Church people ought not to go
into politics, because they lack the
"combine" element. The Presby-
terians will not go to the polls with
the Methodlsts, nor will Episco-
palians and Catholics amalgamate
on election day.
If the churches would all unite
on one man they could carry the
day with irresistible force, but they
are jealous of each other, hence
the devil, who knows how to har-
monize and mobleize his forces.
downs them on election day. We
do not mean by this that Nj. Hofer
is in league with the devil. In a
fight like the one which promises
to come off tomorrow, he would
represent the more liberal element
merely; people of non. Sabbatanian
affiliations. who look upon Sunday
as day OF rest, rather than a day
of prayer.
In politics the APPEAL does not
allow its religion to interfere, and is
always for the regular straight Re-
publican nominee. Whichever side
wins, however, the struggle will be
8 good natured one, and everything
will 90 along smoothly.

The Centennial ball at New York
was dismal failure. Scenes were
enacted there that would have dis.
graced a cowboy how-down in the
wilds of Kansas. 1t was turned
into a big guzzling drunk, and the
guests, male and female, who got
home with their clothes all on con-
sidered themselves fortunate. The
400 seem all in all to be a hard
crowd in Gotham.

MC5LILsTER on FORWARD Nc
Allister comes blandly to the
surface and treads Fish under his
heel in New York. McAllister
was supplanted by Fish ana the
ball was a terrible fizzle. 1t was so
badly mangled that the riff raft of
the city were on deck mingllng
with the upper crust; drunken
loafers and pickpockets had full
SWING, and the affair smacked
more OF one of those masquerades
given by the women of the town
than anything else. 1t was all the
result of bad management. Every
man to his trade. McAllister
knows just how to manage a ball,
and if he can do nothing else and
does that well, he deserves credit
for it.

Tom Mast has fine cartoon on
"Death the Gripman," A skele-
ton figure stands in front of the car
with the handle of the scythe ex-
tended in front like the grip lever
of the car, while the blade of the
scythe dripping with blood sweeps
the track in front. A picture like
that is worth a thousand editorials
on the subject, and is published in
the Examiner.

WHO CARES I?

The Hardwick Gazette says that ''the
voters of Vermont have their ears on the
ground" They should pick them up and
tack them to the sides of their heads if
they would hear the "vOices in the air"
at st. Johnsbury and Burlington and st.
Albans and BrattleborO and Rutland and
Hyde Park Burlii gton Free Press.
The truth Of the matter probably is
that not five hundred of the voters wish
to hear these "voices." The most of
them understand perfectly we'll that at
the proper time they will be asked to
ratify by the votes of their delegates in
convention the nomination of some Que,
of whom they know little and about
whom they care less. That has been
about the size of the performance called
the State convention for several years
past. However, there is blood on the
moon this time around, and it may be
that the friends of no one of the candi-
dates will be able to carry his nomina-
ton to the convention in their pockets.

A WESTERN OPINION.

The Michigan Farmer, one of the lead
ing agricultural journals of the West, sees
no good in Commissioner Valentines
plan of colonizing Swedes in this State.
1t takes the ground that "the trouble
with agriculturists today in either the
Eastern or Western States is over-pro-
duction-too much ompetition-result-
ing in lower prices and crowded markets, :"
and that to bring in these foreigners
would be still further to fill an already
overfull market. Besides, the Farmer
thinks these communities will be a
fruitful source of trouble to their neigh
bors and menace to popular govern
ment for the reason that they will be-
come citizens before they understand our
laws or institutions. In conclusion the
Farmer very sensibly and fOrcibly says
Far better, so far as the country and its
future is concerned, that there should be

A SUGGESTION.

There is a movement on foot looking
to the enlargement and Improvement of
the cemetery near the college. Its con-
dition is not credit to the community !;
that every one who has seen it will ac-
knowledge. Whether it can be placed in
proper shape under the present manage
ment is doubtful. The gentlemen COM
posing the corporation which has con-
troll of it are undoubtedly ready to do all
in their power, but that will not be
much, as more funds will be required
than they can command. But in all
probability they would cheerfully turn
over whatever rights they haye in the
property to the village or the town,
where it properly belongs; for then it
could be taken care of to better advan-
tage and all would be interested in keep
ing it up.
Now, wouldn't it be we'll for the viii
lage trustees to see what can be done
and, if anything, give proper notice in
the warning and have the subject consid-
cred at the coming village meeting? 1t
can do no harm, certainly, and may ac-
complIsh the end which must earnestly
be desired by every one.

ENJOYED HIMSELF.

Editor Warren Gibbs of the st. Adams
Messenger seems to have thoroughly en-
joyed his stay in Middlebury at the meet
ing of the Vermont officers last month.
He said in his paper: "Everything was
done at Middlebury by the committees
and auxiliary of citizens to make the &C.
casion pleasant and profitable, which,
barring numbers in attendance. was high
ly successful. The headquarters of both
societies were at the Addison House,
where the banquets were held. There
was but one verdict expressed concern
ing this hostelry, and that was that it
stands among the very foremost in every
respect in the State. Excellent is not
an over-statement, and every one who
was there can truthfully and will cheer
fully commend the house under its pres
ent management to the travelling public.
Well done, Middlebury."
