The influence of tho Newspaper.

Mr.. Charles Dudley, in the Forum, writes
of the influence of the American newspa-
per. With regard to one great service to
the government by the public press, he
says:
If the circulation of ideas has any value
the newspaper is a necessity. But il has
another function in our social state, the
full action of which Is a yet but dimly
comprehended, though absolutely essential
in government like ours We refer to the
effect that mere publicity has in govern
ment, in the discharge of public Office and
public duty in the conduct of all institu-
tions, public or semi private in their nature,
and upon all schemes, movements and
theories. This publicity makes the whole
people inspectors Of all that concerns them,
brings every deed to the bar of public criti-
cism, and informs the most powerful of all
modern engines, public opinion. This great
service the newspapers render. 1t is per-
haps incidental to this, and because all con
ductors Of newspapers have not conscience
and sense of the responsibility of their
position, that there is so much infamous
invasion OF privacy. so much wanton injury
to reputation, so much matter printed that
helps to yulgarize an already sufficiently
vulgar world. But the public has its legal
remedy for the injury, or can have it, and
it need not read that which is vulgar and
indecent. If / hear that a grocer who is
known to sell adulterated and unwholesomo
food is more largely patroni2ed than a
grocer who sells only wholesome food,
have my opinion of the customers as well
as of the seller. SO long as the American
people literally sustain newspapers that they
condemn, what is the value Of their crti-
cism Perhaps they sustain those news
papers for qualities other than their recll-
less sensatlonalism and vulgarity; but the
world is very uncharitable, and smiles with
incredulity at the explanations we make.

Late reports regarding tho yield of maple
sugar in Vermont this season indicate that
the total figures will come nearer to an
average yield than was expected some
weeks ago. As near as we can ascertain
the sugar makers who have worked their
orchards for all they were worth produc ed
a fine article, got good prices and fair
profit. We find it impossible to satisfac-
torily account for the fact that so
many farmers in the State do not tap their
orchards. 1t has been well said that
climber trees declare dividend only at
death, and there is constant and strong
temptation to their destruction; the sugar
maple declares annual dividends and the
tree survives We fear that the maple
tree is not receiving all the attention it de-
serves at the hands Of Vermont farmers.
Prof. A. J. Cooke writes the Garden and
Forest that the value OF the sugar maple,
and the rare delicacy and excellence OF the
product delivered from it, is so great, in his
view, that on his own farm, a fertile and
productive one. there is no portion which
yields moro satisfactory returns than does
a forty acre sugar bush. Nor is he alone
for he refers to q neighbor who states that
his forty acre sugar bush pays net profit OF
t. per cent on a high valuation. We be
love the farmers Of Vermont cannot afford
to neglect any source Of revenue, and that
those vino invariably tap their orchards

facts as presented We speak for the PEG
pie, as we always have, that they may have
some voice in the management of their own
aifairs-that every person should have an
equal chance to vote or he a candidate to
be voted for These are not pleasant things
for the republicans of Vermont to contem-
plate, and if they carry, farewell TO that
harmony that has been characteristic of the
party in the State.
Should the Page policy be made success
full, then the gubernatorial Office becomes n
purchasable commodity, with the man of
stocks, banks and bonds as the purchaser.
The whole idea to Vermont manhood is re-
voting. Then farewell to the pride of
Schools to patriotism, literature, public
speaking and culture, when these qualilica-
tions are no longer considered necessary ac-
complishmcnts for the citizen. What chance
is there for man of moderate means with
these other attachments in such an unequal
contest as this? What hope is there for
your son or mine in Vermont if such an idea
rs this is to prevail? The issue has never
been so squarely and conspicuously made in
this state within our recollection, and, all
personal considerations aside, it should be
sQuarely met. In the discharge OF one S
duty as regards public measures and men
these matters cease TO become personal, but
are lost in the higher service we owe TO our
selves and the State.

The last number of the Lamoille News
and Citizen contains one little bit of truth
in the editorial admission that Mr.. Pages
newspaper campaign is "senseless and over
done" Mr.. Page, it says, "regrets the
necessity Of imposing upon the people of
Vermont" such a campaign. He may well
do so, on his own account, for there are dis
tnct indications that his newspaper bureau
and Wholesale distribution of campaign
literature are reacting against him. No
previous candidate for governor in this
State has ever found it necessary to flood
the State with newspapers filled with eulo-
gss of himself and articles in his own de-
fence. The necessity as the people of
Vermont will understand, was wholly of his
own making-and he has had the practical
monopoly OF this method, The News's as
sertion that the FREE PRESS is distributing
''nearly 30, 600 copies week" In Colonel
Woodbury's interest is so cheap and trans

copies sent out from this Office during this

deem it necessary to besicgc the republicans
of Vermont in his own behalf and would
rather not be governor than TO try to cap
ture the nomination by any unusual meth

We feel as il we ought to apologize to
our readers for taking 50 much space in this
issue for the discussion of the governor
question. We do this for the reason that
We have been wrongly used by several
papers. republican and democratic. in mis-
stating and Incorporating our position
AMI uttcrances on this subject The heat
of this campaign mas been centralized upon
us, particularly il accusing us of publishing
what we never did publish, or thought OF
publishing. We are thoroughly disguised
with witnessing the practice of certain
methods adopted il this campaign, which
we believe viii he sat down upon as soon as
the pubic have an opportunity TO act
through their delegates in convention. There
has been no time IN the previous history OF
the state when a candidate Tor a nigh office
could push his own individual candidacy 10
the extreme Of aSgrcssIveness without be
ing rebu&ed. If any such candilutc had by
personal letters, by agents and attorneys,
pressed his claim, or by deluging the mails
with sample copy newspapers, pushing
his own canvass through the press and cor
respondence. he would have been showed
under 50 deep by public opinion that the
heated furnace OF NeLuchainezlcr would
have been insufficient to thaw him out. We
are happy to admit that Col. Woodbury. is
no such candidate.
