THE wANAMAKER IDEA.

Postmaster General Wanamaker' s
speech at the New England banquet
in Philadelphia is exciting wide at
tention, because of the following pas
sage:
Put your money into elections
The great expenses that are neces-
sary cannot be paid by moonshine or
shouting, SO let those who want a
pure government put their hands in
their pockets and make personal and
public subscriptions. Shoot that
man on the spot who spends a pen
ny for dishonest elections, but put
men as thick as grasshoppers over
the state to see that there is an hon
est ballot and an honest count
When it is understood that Mr..
Wanamaker's position in the cabinet
was given him because of his services
in raising a large campaign fund
which he put into the hands of Sena-
tor Quay, and which he knows to
moral certainty was spent for dis
honest elections, THAT is to buy
notes.-the above utterance of the
Postmaster General is hard to ex-
plain.

A NEEDLESS DISCUSSION.

Some of the papers continue to agi-
tate the matter of state politics and
some have gone SO far as to suggest
a candidate for the United States
senate to be elected by the Legisla-
ture next fall. This seems to be a
useless waste of ink. From present
indications, if the candidate lives and
is in his usual health, Senator Nor
rill will be his own successor. And
there is no particular reason why
this should not be so. Senator Nor
rill is probably asuseful a man in the
Senate and reflects as much honor
upon Vermont as any man the state
could elect. Let him die in the har-
ness

COMMISSIONER VALENTINES La
TEST.

Major Valentine, commissioner OF
immigration, has issued a new map
of Vermont showing the towns in
which are located unoccupied lands.
and lands occupied which can be
bought at about the same price as
those unoccupied. In this map all
the towns in the state which the lis
tiers have reported as containing at
least 1900 acres of unoccupied lands
are shaded red Most of these towns
have reported 1000 acres or more.
All the counties in the state have
these shaded towns but fOur-Chit-
tenden, Addison, Franklin and Grand
Isle. Windham county shows the
largest number of towns and extent
of territory where contiguous farms
are thus shaded, Orange county COM
ing next and Orleans last.
The towns in Caledonia county
where these unoccupied lands are re-
ported are Newark, Sutton, Sheffield
Wheelock, Peacham. The only one
in Essex county is Concord. Wind
ham county shows the most red,
there being II towns in that county
designated as ready for settlers with
farms and buildings on them at from
So to $40 an acre. The map itself is
an excellent one, and we presume can
be obtained of A. B. Valentine, Ben
nington. One can be seen at this
office. The Burlington Free Press
thus speaks of this new scheme:-
The most interesting, because the
easiest understood of all Commits
sioner Valentines contributions to
the Vermont unoccupied lands prob
lem, is the map of Vermont which he
has just issued, showing the loca-
tons of towns in the state III which
are unoccupied farms, and lands I'M
occupied, which can be bought at
about the same price as those Occu-
pied. These maps are furnished, we
understand, to meet a demand for
something that will show at a glance
lH0 iOSdllOH vi lu0 ldiuS lHetl diS III
the market. Mr.. Valentine informs
us that the map is according to
facts, except that some towns have
not reported unoccupied lands where
they are known to exist. The map
idea is very happy one. No expla-
nation is necessary. 1t tells its own
story, the story with which the peo-
pie of the state are now familiar. 1t
furnishes a practical evidence, also,
of Mr.. Valentines faithfulness in per-
forming the duties of the commission

A Bad Leak.
A deficiency of 395 gallons of liquor
and 81 dozen ale, porter, and lager
is reported in the liquor agency at
Burlington as having occurred be-
tween January 1, 1889, and Novem-
Der 9 of the same year. the estimated
cost of which is about 5000, and it is
added in the same connection, as if
the fact possessed peculiar signifi-
canoe, that the agency is located in
the same building that the city
officials occupy.-[Woodstock Stand
ard.
Greed for Ten Per Cent.
If quarter of the enthusiasm,
energy and capital yearly placed in
the West by Vermonters were direct
ed to building up the interests of
their own Green Mountain state, we
should not suffer the pang of read
ing about our deserted farms and
hillsides." Vermont is by no means
a huge deserted village" but it is
undeniable that her thrift and pro-
gress have been greatly retarded by
her own citizens, who, possessed of a
cupidity for ten per cents" and
Western trust companies paying
large dividends, have placed all their
capital far from home.-[ Brandon
Union.
Do not Learn by Experience.
The Windsor Journal correspondent
in Springfield observes: $50 large an
amount of loose capital has been
sent from this town to- Eortk Payne
and similar points, it is said ftswould
be difficult to raise $50 with the best
security" This is pretty generally
the situation all over the state The
net result to the owners of property
and of business, even if their utmost
expecta tons from these investments
are fulfilled, will be that the profit
will not more than offset the loss
from deprecia ton here. But this is
not the worst of it. There is an
everlasting lot of New England mon
ey being put into these booms that
will never come out of them. If the
experience would teach the investors
something there might be some
satisfaction, but, Judging from the
past, it will not. They will be just
as ready to be taken in by the next
oily-tongued boomer as they are now,
with all the long line of lessons before
them.- Brattleboro Reformer.

Death of an Editor.

particularly interested in Egyptian
matters, and publishing on his return
a book entitled "The Conflict of the

A Strange Accident.
A very strange accident befell
fireman at a fire in large mill at

and ladder truck, was standing near
the picker house when an employee of
the mill turned the full force Of the
powerful force pump of the mill into
the two lines of hose that were at
tached. One of them, held by three
men was controlled until the water
pressure was reduced, but the other
broke away from the hoseman on the
fire escape, and falling was swished
with tremendous force against Mr..
Davis, breaking his leg as if it had
been pipe stem. Mr.. Davis leg had
to be amputated.
A Letter by J. wilkes Booth.
The Richmond va Dispatch pub
fishes letter written by j. Wilkes
Booth on the day he assassinated
President Lincoln. Its publication
is said to have been suppressed by
the government in 1865. In his
opening he foreshadows that terrible
deed which he accomplished, when
he says: Fright or wrong, God
judge, not man, for be my motive
good or bad, of one thing | am sure,
the lasting condemnation of the
North. Hove peace more than life.
He then discusses secession and the
race problem. He says: This
country was formed for the white
man, not for the black" He con-
cludes: "a confederate doing duty
on his own responsibility"

THE
New ENGLAND
Company,
DADE COUNTY, GA.

Corporation Chartered by the State of
Georgia, Nov. 2, 1889.
CAPITAL STOCK So, 600, 900, divided in
to $4,000 shares of 500 each. OF this
amount 16, 900 shares sold. 10. 600 shares
are retained in the treasury, and $4,000
shares are offered for sale at S25 per share.
THE PROPERTY of this corporation lies
in Dade county, in the extreme northwest
corner of Georgia, and consists of 10000
acres of iron ore lands. 5000 acres of coal
lands and 400 acres for a city site.
THE IRON ORE territory has been selected
with a view to its actual value as ore-bear-
ing land. and extends along both sides of the
Alabama Great Southern Railroad, which is
the direct route between Cincinnati and New
Orleans. and reaches from a point about six
miles southwest of Chattanooga, distance
of nearly Il miles. The northern extremity
of the property lies across the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Railroad, within
the state of Tennessee, and is only about two
miles from the Tennessee river.
THE COAL LANDS of this company, COM
priSing more than 5000 acres, contain three
seams Of valuable coal, averaging three feet
each in thickness; and it is conceded that at
point in the South coal and iron found
in such quantities and in close proximity
to each other the property of the New
England Company.

4 QUESTIONABLE PRA CTICE.

The Milford Journal is an able, ex-
cellent and successful newspaper; but
when it sandwiches a paid ad for a
Chicago house between a touching
editorial on the New Year and other
editorial matter, it knocks all the
poetry and pathos out of the finely
written editorial, and the reader is
much more likely to mediate and
moralize on the mercenary spirit of a
publisher who will sell his editorial
space for money than on his counsel
for the new year The Journal is by
no means a simmer above all others
in this particular, but its publishers
are able and influential enough
to take a stand against this too
common practice Besides, it owes
something to its weaker brethren
1t pays a newspaper i'll the long run
to be honest with its readers
