DIR. Hale on New England.

Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale has
drawn some very interesting conclus-
ions from the census figures, and
made some equally interesting obser-
vations upon them.
Hesays that the illiteracy of Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island, which is
greater than in other New England
states, is almost all among immi-
grants from countries whose rulers
did not wish to have the people intel
hgent. The New England states, on
the other hand, being governed by
the people themselves, compel the ed
ucatiOn of all minors, and are on the
way to compel instruction in reading
and writing for all minors or adults.
DIR. Hale points out that New Eng
land, having made, long since, most
of the necessary permanent plants,
which every community must make,
is now able to devote her extra wealth
to what were once called luxuries,
roads, school-houses and other prime
necessities. New England, of course,
has some such necessities; but the
work of 260 years has been of some
use in providing them. She spends,
therefore, a great deal of money in
making herselfa place more agreeable
to live in. New England, he AYERS, is
favOrite home for the best people of
the United States. As Ezra States
prophesied, indeed, Is, 100000 of the
people of America are descended from
New Englanders; and most of them
look fondly back to the home of their
fathers or mothers. If they return
there they find an ocean bath for the
summer, good schools for their child
rem, the best medical advice for their
diseases, rational religion for their
consolation and stimulus, the books
of the world for their free use in read
ing.
1t is the belief of DR.. Hale, there
fore, that the verdict of America is
that New England is a good place to
live in. Some 100000 of her sons
and daughters are living in other
states of this nation; but as a practi-
cal compensation for their absence.
she has in her borders 100000 of the
citizens of this country who have
come to make their homes with her.
These are, in general, of the best
DR.. Hale says. Her con-
of foreign-born men and
women adapts itself more and more
to her institutions; and New Eng
land, not caring much about such
but caring, with spirit and
hope, for comfort and intelligence in
happy homes, has no fear whatever
that she is to be left out in the cold |

Political campaigns arein progress
in Maine and Vermont-the Govern
orship being at stake in each case
but one would hardly suspect it from
the quietness with which those States
pursue the even tenor of their way.
There is scarcely a ripple upon the
surface of public affairs. The fact is
the Republicans know they are going
to have their own wayin both States,
and they are notmakinga fuss about
it. The Democrats only made their
nominations as a matter of form, and
can't be expected to drum up much
interest when they feel sure that they
are foredoomed to failure. Pine Tree
and Green Mountain Republicanism
is one OF the things that can be de-
pended upon.-AeW York Tribune.

A word About the TWO Tickets.


We reserve the right always to
criticise the acts of our Democratic
friends in convention assembled. We
don't believe in the principles they
advocate generally, and we are es-
pecially opposed, as we think the
better element of their own party is,
to their advocacy of licensed rum
saloons. 1t is due to them however
to say, and we take great pleasure in
saving, that they have placed in
nomination this year an exception
ally good ticket. Were he a Republi-
can we know of no man whom we
could more cheerfully support than
Harvey W. Varnum of Cambridge,
their nominee for Senator. He is
Christian gentleman, and his sympa-
thies are we are confident strongly in
favor of restricting the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors to the narrowest pos
sible limit How he happens to find
himself in the Democratic ranks,
possessing as he does such strong
temperance proclivities, we cannot
quite understand. Chas W. Rich of
Morrisville, the candidate for Judge
of Probate, is a clean, careful, thor
ough-going business man; in fact,
the whole ticket is considerably above
the average and the Democrats of
Lamoille county are to be commend
ed for the results of their convention,
so far as its nominees are concerned.
In saying this, however, we feel JUS
titled in calling attention at the same
time to the splendid ticket placed in
the field by the Republicans of this
county. AS the smoke of the conflict
clears away, the unanimous verdict
seems to be that Geo. A. Morseis prov
ing to be one of the most popular
nominees for Senator we ever had.
His integrity, his good business abili-
ty, his soundness on the temperance
question, his conservatism in the
matter of prudence and economy in
State expenditures, his previous ex-
perience in the Legislature and his
high moral character all point to him
as candidate against whom not
single objection can be urged. Mr..
Kenfeld's nomination as Judge OF
Probate is meeting with general APP
prevail from all quarters, and without
generalizing, except to say that the
balance of the ticket is excellent, we
conclude by saying that no citizen, be
he Democrat or Republican, need hes
itate to support the nominees of his
party in Lamoille county this year.

rom the Of. AlDdHS meSSeigef.l
The September election approaches
and is close at hand. Within four
weeks the freemen of Vermont will
be called upon again to pass upon the
political issues of the day. 1t will be
the first occasion of the kind in which
a Republican state will be given an
opportunity to render an opinion in
the fall elections. What shall Yer
mont say? Since last we met at the
polls Republican administration has
been inaugurated and great reforms
have been undertaken in Congress.
Much has already been accomplished
and much more is promised. Will
the Republicans of Vermont stay up
the hands of congress and of the adj
ministration, or retreat? There never
has been a time since the period of
reconstruction when a verdict by the
people was of equal importance.
Whatever the result of our election
may be, it will be considered in its
national bearings from Maine to Ore
CON, and from the lakes to the gulf
The Republicans of Vermont have al
ways been true to their political con-
victions since the party was organized,
and it is not expected that they will
falter in this emergency. Because we
had lively time" over the nomina-
iron of Governor there is no reason
why the vote should be reduced on
this account, or the majority of our
ticket be less. Somebody must win
and somebody must lose, but we can
stand in to be the individual loser SO
long as the party wins. The vote for
Carroll S. Page is to be taken as the
vote of approval, or the reverse, of
Republican measures, and every true
Republican should give of his aid to
swell the vote. The Republicans of
the state settled their differences in
convention, and from henceforth
should have but one ticket to support
Mr.. Page is a gentleman of upright
private life and faithful public per-
Torrance, and will make good Gov
ernor of the whole people. He could
not do otherwise if he would, and
would not if he could. He stands as
the exponent of temperance, and to
the old soldiers as the symbol of pen
sions for the poor and needy. Let
bygones be bygones, with firm reSo-
luton to support the Republican ticket,
state, congressional, county and town,
from right to left, along the whole line.
There is nothing like the satisfaction
afterwards of having done a noble
duty, and having stood by ones prin-
ciples

ers by the Johnstown food, only
$15S, $50 were applied directly to the
relief of the people. One hundred
thousand dollars still remain in the
hands of the committee, and the in
tention is to expend it in building.
bridges. Some of the money was dis
tributed in $50 a head" benefac-
tions, and a large amount was de-
voted to the fire department. The
last mentioned expenditure, and the
proposed bridge building, are in aid
of the taxpayers, rather than of the
needy, for whom the fund was intend
ed by the donors. No detailed ac
count has ever been rendered by the
committee in charge, and the charity
appears to have been grossly mis-
managed.

As usual our Democratic friends at
their mass convention resolved in
substance that it was advisable to
license some one in each town to deal
out liquid damnation, alias rum. An
oasis in this Democratic desert was
found in Edison Slayton of Wolcott,
who while subscribing to the princi-
pies of Democracy in general informed
his brethren that the Democratic
party was in his Judgment a longway
behind the time in recommending the
authorization of licensed rum holes.
His remarks really touched a sympa-
thetic chord in the hearts of many of
his audience, but he was quickly sit
down upon bythe mouth-pieces of the
party, and it didn't take him long to
learn that SO far as his advocacy of
temperance was concerned at least,
he was entirely out of place in that
gathering, and the next time friend
Slayton addresses a Democratic con-
ventiOn he probably will confine his
remarks to the exceeding sinfulness
of Republicans in general and La

Weekly Payments.

! EDITORS News AND CITIZEN:
Farmers and laborers will no doubt
be pleased to learn that there will be
an effort made to have a law passed
by the next Legislature, that mill
owners and corporations shall pay
their help weekly. The matter lies in
the laborers' hands, and if they put
| themselves to work and vote for a
man that will sustain the bill, there
is no doubt but it will become law
at our next session. 1t is generally
understood that in some parts Of
| this State laborers are hired at as
low wages as possible, are kept back
on their pay, and compelled to trade
in corporation store, paying a
rreat deal more for their supplies.
Again. if a farmer comes into town
with butter, eggs, fresh pork, pota-
toes, in fact, any and all kinds OF
farm produce, he is obliged to sell to
a corporation store, and take his
pay in trade, for the laborers have
no money to buy direct. 1t is get
ting in some localities to be almost
impossible for a farmer to obtain
money from his products sufficient to
pay his taxes and interest on his
mortgage There will no doubt be
great cry from the manufacturers
that it will be a great trouble for
them to arrange pay-rolls and pay
once a week, but the Writer thinks it
will give no more trouble than to
pay each day in molasses and fish
and Htruck and dicypr - Weaklv
payments will do away with more
than one-half of the bookkeeping
where the pay is taken out of the
store. 1t will be well for the people
to be looking into this matter and
be ready to vote for the man-be he
Republican or Democrat-who will |
stand by the laborirg man and the
farmer. Very respectfully,

legislation is concerned, we know OF
but two reforms that can amelorate
the condition of the agricultural com

which is grinding into dust a large
