National Conference on
Temperance.

The proceedings of the National
Temperance Congress, which opened
it's sessions at the Broadway Taber-
nacle in New York on the morning
of the 18th inst, will be carefully
noted by both the friends and the op-
ponents of the temperance cause. A
very grave responsibility rests upon
the men and women who compose
this gathering. They are the recog-
nized leaders of the various sections
of the temperance army, and their
action is certain to have widespread
and powerful and lasting influence
upon the immediate future of the
temperance movement in this coun-
try. They have the power to do the
movement an infinite amount of mis-
chief or an infinite amount of good.
The result will depend very largely
upon the spirit which rules the con-
ference from the beginning. If it is
the spirit of harmony, of forbearance
and mutual good will, the outcome
of the meeting can not fail to be, in
the largest degree, helpful and salts
factory to the friends of reform.
Whatever else the congress may
do, it is to be hoped that it will not
content itself with empty talk. 1t is
not legislative body. 1t can take
no action, it can pass no DEGREES
which will have any authoritative
weight or binding force on any man
except such force and weight as the
manifest dignity, earnestness, SINGER
ity, prudence and wisdom of the con-
ferees shall give.-MaI and Erpress.

Hon. Frederick Billings, who was
brought from New York to Woodstock
on the 2lst of May, is now confined TO
his bed. On the oath of December last
he was attacked with embolism, which,
in his case, meant fbrine from the heart,
obstructing blood vessels of the brain,
by which his left side was paralyzed. He
never lost consciousness and his mind re-
mained clear. Soon after the attack he
began to improve, but for two or three
months past he has been quite III The
latest reports are more encouraging.

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years supposed to be incur

Apropos to the question of "aban-
doned farms" in New England and
the frequent allegation that New
England agriculture is going to the
dogs under the blight of protection,
it is instructive to notice that the OFF,
cial figures show large increase in
the culture acreage of each of the
New England States between 1870
and 1888, ranging from 27,750 acres
in little Rhode Island to 31S, ,577
acres in Maine. The increase in
Massachusetts was 200,99S acres, in
New Hampshire 129, $50 acres, in
Connecticut 179, 318 acres, and in
Vermont So ,271 acres.

Some of the Boston papers are
concerned lest the whole of Boston's
population shall not be counted, ow-
ing to many of the houses being clos
ed and the owners absent from town.
So long as the houses are visible we
guess some way will be devised
whereby Boston will get all that be-
longs to her.

In discussing the tariff,it should be
borne in mind that the advalorem du-
ties are calculated upon the importers
and not the retail prices, and that
the former are not as rule more than
two-thirds the latter. One of our
mill agents informs us that his cor
poratiOn does not receive for its goods
more than &c per cent of what they
are marked when put upon the retail
shelves, and the same is generally
true of the importer. This being the
case a % per cent duty upon goods
retail for u cents is cents instead
of 3 cents.

We are sorry to see an intimation
from any quarter of the state, or
from any republican paper, suggest
ing any change in the office of state
treasurer - whatever other change
may be made among the leading state
officers, there certainly should be no
change in this office. Mr.. Dubois,
our present state treasurer, is an hon
est, painstaking, careful official-not
a single reason can be named why he
should be removed, and a new man
elected in his place. The fact that
some other man exists, who would
like the position, furnishes no reason
whatever for a change. Mr.. Dubois
has held the office for eight years, dis
charging his duties faithfully, and to
the general acceptance of the people
of the state, and without the loss of
a dollar of the public money. He is
just as honest and faithful a state
treasurer as was his predecessor in
the office, Mr.. John A. Page, who
held this same office continually for
sixteen years, to the entire satisfac-
tion of our people.
The office of state treasurer is in
no sense a political office, and there
should be no change in it, unless for
some good reason. The reasons all
favor the retention of the present in
cumbent.
The location of West Randolph is
favorable point for the office, as
central as any place that can be nam
ed in the state, and during the ses-
sion of the legislature Mr.. Dubois is
in constant attendance with his clerk,
at his office in the capitol at Montpe-
lier.
No change is called for in this Of
fee. - Woodstock Standard.

Chauncey NJ. Depew gave Chicago
some good, sound advice about the
coming worlds fair, at the press club
dinner in that city recently. He said
that ''there can be no hesitation, no
backwardness, no niggardliness in the
matter" New York will do her share
toward making the fair a success, ac-
cording to Mr.. Depew. When the
time comes, no doubt every section
of the country will contribute gener-
ously and enthusiastically. Yet Chi
cago itself must be the responsible
factor, land it will take all its resourc-
es and energy to make the exhibition
what it ought to be.

The appearances are that when the

Closed.

The preliminary canvass in the
state and in the second district has
closed. The primary meetings on
Saturday night selected set of dele
gates to each convention who will
hold the matter on hand until the
conventions meet on Wednesday and
Thursday. 1t is expected that the
state convention will be close ON the
governor candidates, though we have
confidence that Mr.. Page will win.
In the congressional matter there
has been less canvassing and less
talk. Col. Hooker has caused some
stir here and there by roping in some
G.. A. r. men, and the disgruntled
and disappointed applicants for Fed
eral offices whom Gen. Grout has not
been able to satisfy, and the team is
quite powerful in certain localities.
While at this writing we have no GER
tain knowledge of the result, we have
no doubt that a large majority of the
delegates favor Gen. Grout.
1t does not seem possible that the
district has been so manipulated by
any means as to be ready to throw
overheard true, faithful, able con-
gresham, with an attempt to better
the condition with such a man as
Geo. w. Hooker. Col. Hooker's
habits, tastes, talents, character and
make up generally are not what in
themselves constitute o fit candi-
date for that most important place.
We predict that an attempted change
at this time will be an unfortunate
thing for the party as well as the dis
trict. Those chosen delegates who
are not chained down by ''instruc-
tions" ought to look at the matter
with reference to the good of the dis
trict and the country, there being no
selfish reason why the best man for
the place should not win it.

The bishops of the Methodist Epis-
copal church have given their official
endorsement to the project of estab
fishing in Washington a National
Methodist University. To Bishop
Hurst belongs the honor of originat-
ing this project, or at least, of acting
as its special advocate,as he has done
with great ability and energy. 1t is
proposed to provide an endowment of
50, 100000; the site for the institI-
ton has already been offered by some
liberal Methodists in Washington.
While the need of more universities
in the country does not seem to be
pressing, it may be taken for grant
ed that if the Methodist church sets
about this undertaking with it's accus-
toned zeal, it will achieve a great
success.

Highly gartifying progress has
been made by the majority of the
Sepate's Finance Committee in their
consideration of the Tariff bill. Their
diligence and the harmony which has
marked their work are entitled to all
praise. In point of fact, the consid-
GRAFTON of the measure is substan-
TALLY finished, and it will be reported
to TIN e Senate for action as soon as
the silver legislation is out of the
way. This brings the end of the ses-
sion measurably nearer than it SEEM
