they will inevitably be overshad

varied exhibits of the United States.
The Chicago Exposition will find no
such superiority of Europe over
America in some of the arts and in
dustries as was manifested at Phila
delphia in 1876 Boston Journal.
In Behalf of the Local Fair.
The local fair is of ines
timable value as a practical educa-
tor, and though eclipsed in magni
tude by the great metropolitan ex-
hibitions which freely levy on the
world of mechanism, it still holds
value peculiarly its own Bellows

One Way to Look at 1t.
Men are growing more temperate,
not because the law says they shall
not have a chance to get drunk, but
because public sentiment impresses
upon them the conviction that they
cannot afford to get drunk. 1t is by
strengthening this sentiment that
the work of temperance reform is to
be chiefly prosecuted. Tell man
the law says he shall not get drunk
and he is quite likely to do it out of
spite; convince him that lit does not
pay" to get drunk and no law will
be needed Chicago Tribune.
Vermont at the Worlds Fair.
Vermont has an admirable COM
mission to the worlds fair. The
diverse interests of the state that
will claim attention at Chicago's
great exhibition could hardly have
been entrusted to better hands.
Col Bradley B. Smalley of Burling
ton, as efficient as he is genial, was
respects, and is warmly approved
by the people. DR.. H. Henry McIn-
tyre of West Randolph is recognized
as one who has executive ability
and is a worker who will see that
no interest of Vermont will suffer
His long experience with the Alaskan
Fur company, as well as his efficient
work at home, is a sufficient guar
antee of his qualifications. The in
creased appropriation should slim
ulate the manufacturers and breed
ers of Vermont to put their shoulder
to the wheel to make an exhibit in
'93 that will in every respect be
worthy of the state Troy Press
Don't Want to Catch Up.
We may lead Canada in many
things, but in the production of
"boodle" statesmen and editors she
is far ahead of US, and we trust that
we shall never catch up to her

The New York Campaign.
Collector Fassett and John Vroo-
man make strong ticket in New
York 1t means that Mr.. Plat and
and the Miller men, so-called, are
working together. 1t means a
sharp, steady and strong fight, full
of shrewd politics, full of promise.
1t means that Hill-ism will be the
issue, and there are few decent men
in the state, not dyed-in-the-wool
democrats or rank spOilsmen, who
can endure Hills performances. Mr..

ord.
Mr.. Fassett represents the straight
party organization, and will gain all
that it can give and lose all that it
can draw away. He will draw out
the full party vote and inspire the
full politicians with great enthusi-
asm, but he will not draw any
strength beyond this, and even his
personal character will not save
him from the losses which he will
inevitably suffer on account of his as
sociations. - Waterbury American.
A Good Example for all JaiIors.
Taller Wadsworth and wife of the
Hillsborough county jail cannot be
too highly commended for the stand
they have taken in relation to al
lowing murderer Almy to receive
visitors and flowers There is no
excuse for putting this red-handed
wretch on public exhibition, and
there is no reason why beautiful
flowers should be poisoned in the at
mosphere of his presence.-[Nashua

The President as a Traveller.
Those who say that it is not the
presidents business to travel about
the country are mistaken, because
they mean that there is some kind o.
improperly in the journey. In one
sense it is nobody's business, except
drummers, to go upon the road
But it is certainly business of the
president to promote public good
feeling, and, as the chief representa-
tive of the government to appear or
public occasions of patriotic interest
Whatever he can do personally tc
cultivate friendly relations between
