Sadder Sides of Life.

1t is a painful duty that devolves
on newspaper to record the sadder
side of life as it comes to the surface
from day to day. Noreputable iourn-
al delights in giving details of crime,
ofsocial or political evils, or of finan-
cial disaster, and yet the greatest
safeguard of the public lies in the fact
that the mistakes and the misdeeds
of every man are, in solar as they af-
feet others, liable to publication.
This is a duty which every newspaper
must perform, but it must in this as
in all things else be governed by a
strict regard for justice.
Sometimes newspapers, usually I'M
Willingly, be itsaid, make statements
that do harm rather than good.
Sometimes details are given that
ought to be omitted, but nevertheless
the world on the wholeis much better
for the careful scrutiny of the press,
and it is no more liable to errors than
any other human institution.

THE GOVERNOR QUESTION.
Subsidizing the Press.

FROM the st. JoEnsbury Caledonian.
Papers hostile to Mr.. PAGE have re-
c9ntlyglVen currency to report that
the gentleman in question offered a
certain paper III the state 5000 for it's
support, the amount to be made
$4oO II he secured the nomination.
II true 1t appeared to the CaIed0nian
That this charge reflected upon all
the journals that have spoken good
words for Mr.. Page. There is con-
tamination in the touch of a candi-
dacy advanced by such means. This
paper therefore determined to know
the truth. The details given by the
st. Adams Messenger were sufficient
toidentify the transaction. We have
OBTAINED the facts, had access to the
correspondence in the case or to
copies thereof, and give plain state
ment OF the circumstances, without
giving names or going into details.
Some weeks ago, after some cores
pondence,- certain publisher, init
mating that he should prefer to sup
port Mr.. Page, declared that he would
do so upon a guarantee of 5000, to
be made $500 if Mr.. Pages canvass
was successful. Upon hearing this
proposition Mr.. Page wrote to the
publisher as follows:
Il feel compelled as a matter of honor to
decline the proposition you make.
have declined absolutely to influence any pa
per to support me by offering remuneration
of any kind The office of govern
or is of very little Importance to me if it
comes to me through methods which | can
not defend openly"
The reply to this by the publisher
was full of Indignation and closed
with this significant paragraph:
II consider it distinctly understood that
the---is in no way connected with your
canvass. In justice to myself and to the large
number of people | represent | write you, so
that a plain underst.a iG7r may be had that
you do not get the support of the--be-
cause apparently you do not represent its
principles"
Comment upon this, considering
thepropOsition which preceded it, is
unnecessary. This ended the matter
so far as Mr. Page was concerned
The facts show that instead of going
about Substituting newspapers Mr.
Page refused to do so when the OPP
portunity was put in his way.

The Rutland Herald's Chain of
Errors.

The Rutland Herald of Monday de-
voted a column of its valuable space
to "a discussion of Mr.. Page as Il fin
ancier. The article was a tissue of
mistakes from beginning to end.
Passing over the false assumption
that the Waterman article referred
to by the Herald was inspired by Mr.
Page, we come to the structures upon
him as a financier
The present savings bank lawn all
its essential features was the work of
the Legislature of 1884 The banking
laws were at that time recodified and
trust companies were placed in most
respects under the same restrictions
as savings banks. This feature of
the law seems to have been especially
distasteful to the Herald 1t was,
nevertheless, incumbent upon Mr..
Page, when he became Inspector of
Finance in the December following
the passage of the statute, to see that
the law as he found it was enforced.
The law was passed during the in
spectorship of Mr.. Pages predecessor,
Hon. Charles Dewey, of Montpelier.
When, therefore, the Herald says
that
1.-The financial situation that with such
flourish Mr.. Page is heralded as deploring
and the alleged unsound policy of the Saw
mgs banks to which he referred caused by
the legislative policy adopted by his sugges-
ton and by his advice as Inspector of Fl
nance,
it betrays its ignorance of financial
legislation in the State, crediting to
Mr.. Page an act which was already
in force when he assumed the inspect
orship.
With this statement by way of in
PRODUCTION the further comments of
the Herald become ridiculous. 1t
says:
"An inspection of Trust companies is emf
nently proper: but, as they are different from
Savings banks and organized for another
purpose, to place them under the same gener-
al law served only to display Mr. Pages ig-
norance of banking matters. His recon-
mendatiOn was opposed almost universally
by the most experienced tinanciers and bank
ers in the state; but, in spite of eirprOtests,
the scheme of the all-wise Inspector of Fl
nance was adopted by the Legislature"
