Could they present more reliable. con-
sistent, thorough-going republican and
farmer than our present lieutenant
governor? Colonel Fletcher would
make an admirable chief executive, and
his nomination would but follow the
same law of Independent action that
dropped acknowledgements Wood
bury out of the last gubernatorial. race
viz: the people will be governed by
no precedent whatever, but will deter
mine the question upon higher and
broader considerations than of promo
tion or non-promotion. 1t is probably
true that Speaker Grout and Colonel
Fuller are in active training for the
prize, but there is no valid reason why
the sturdy, Independent and intelligent
farmers of Vermont should not fill the
gubernatorlal chair with one of their

ial place, and one where he can do this

gratulate the St. Adams Messenger on

work which it is rumored it is to make
a specially. Faithful service is some

The attention of some of the people
in different parts of the State has been
directed to an invention called the sad
die back railroad, the device of an Or
egonian. The purpose of it is to con-
meet remote communities with estab-
lished lines of railroad by new and
comparatively cheap method. The St.
Johnsbury Republican thus briefly de-
scribes this new kind of road;
"Thc plan is to build road bed ten
feet in width and with ties eight feet a.
part. On this is to be erected frame
in the form of an inverted V. In the
apex of this is set rail smaller in the
middle than at the top or bottom. Bra
ces made of overlapped spruce plank
run along the sides of this frame. Lat
eral wheels are attached TO the locomo-
tive and cars in such manner that
they run in the smaller part Of the rail
and on the braces, and cars cannot he
gotten off except at the end OF the rail.
The sidewise play is only two inches,
that is, the top of the car can rock on
" two inches out of the perpendicular.
The proposed lines are also fitted with
electric motors which hep up steep
grades and when going down the throt-
tie TO the engine is closed and the mo-
tor acts as brake, holding back, as IT
were. All the time this motor is stor-
ing electricity to be used when wanted.
Ii amounts to locomotive at each end
of the train. The cars are just as wide
and have the same capacity that any
passenger coach has. The freight cars
have capacity Of ten tons. The ex-
pense for road, equipment and opera
ton is about half that of an ordinary
read. The construction of the road Is
such that there are no cuts or fills to
be made, these being overcome by tres
tie work where necessary. The speed,
which is important in these times, can
be made 100 miles an hour if desired.
At ten miles the cars win sway two
inches, the full amount possible; at ~
miles there viii be less pronounced
sway; !; at 40 miles it is hardly notice
able. and at so miles and beyond, the
train stands as steady as though an
chored to a rock. The air acting as
cushion holds the cars perfectly steady.
At the most, the rattle and sway is
claimed to be much less than on double
rail tracks.

Somebody has said that in this country
every man is man of business, and it
might also been said with equal truth
now days, every man is in some sense a
socialist. Socialism is in the air. Even
the young Emperor of Germany is sus-
pected of it. A man who is not convers-
ant with the theory of nationalism, and
with the communistic experiences of the
past, can hardly be said TO be a thorough
ly well educated man. 1t is with peculiar
interest therefore that one reads Lewis G..
Wilson's article "Hopedale and Its Found
err in the New England Magazine for
april. Adm Ballou was really a more
notable socialist than any OF the members
of the Brook Farm community. He strikes
one as being more in earnest than the
Brook Farm transcendentalists, and his
remarkable friendship with Tolstoi shows
how highly his work was regarded by
that great uncanting visionary. The
Hopedale community lasted longer than
any similar experiment either on this
continent or ia Europe. Its history Is the
old, old one OF the discrepancy between
human aspiration and human achieve

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, the last
of the great Confederate leaders, has
Just died. He was one of the men
who confessed himself conquered and
gave in to the decision of the war. He
was the great antagonist of Sherman,
and it seems little singular that he
should have followed him to the grave
so soon. He was quite well advanced
in years, but maintained remarkable
vigor. His home during his later
years was in Washington, He gradu-
ated at West Point, went through the
Indian war in Florida, then the Mexi-
can war, where he received several
wounds. During the period between
the Mexican war aud the rebellion he
saw some hard service on the frontier.
Soen after the rebellion broke ont he
came pretty close to the font in the
Confederate army. 1t is said that but
few generals of modern times was dan
gerously wounded so many times and
suffered so much as he did. He pos
sessed remarkably vigorous constitu-
tion, which enabled him to overcome
his suffering. He is said to have died
from the effects of cold caught while
attending as pall-bearer, the funeral of
Gen. Sherman. He was in almost ev-
cry respect, a man worthy to have
been found fighting in better cause.
OF the leaders who took part in the
great war scarcely one is left on either
side. Not one of those in the first
rank survives. When another war
comes upon us there will be a call for
new men and new leaders.

1t is rumored that the Italian gov

prevent its citizens from coming over

be true. Besides, statistics do not as
yet show any falling off in arrivals. If
the affair at New Orleans should re-
suit in shutting every Italian out Of the
country it might not prove SO bad an
undertaking as appears upon the face
OF it. We presume some good Italians
occasionally come to this country, but if
we must take assassins along with the
