Canada has new premier. 1t is
J. ]. c. Abbott, leading commercial
lawyer and an intimate personal
friend of the late Sir John Macdon-
aid. He is 70 years old, has been in
parliament and a member of the
cabinet in previous years. In 1887
he was the government leader in the
senate. Some surprise is expressed
that Sir John Thompson was not
chosen to succeed the late premier,
and it is evennow limited that Abbott
is only to hold the place for
somebody yet to come. However
that may be, the liberals have al
ready begun to look up Abbott's
record, and will doubtless keep him
busy.

"a MODEL EILLAG E.D

Under the above heading, B. G.
Northrup of Connecticut has been
writing to the New York Tribune
about the progressiveness of Win
completely the board of trade had
won the confidence of that commu-
nifty, harmonized and fraternized the
people, the writer says that Win
sted's healthful growth and prosper
ity have been promoted "by its social
spirit, its community of sympathies
and interests" Then he adds some
thing that St. Johnsbury people will
be glad to read, as follows:
This has been specially true of the
two model manufacturing villages of
America, If not of the world-St. Johns
bury, Vermont, and South Manchester,
Conn In the former, the three noble
brothers and their descendants, and in
the latter the far-sighted and liberal
Cheneys. father, sons and grandsons, for
more than sixty years have carried out
wise and liberal plans of public improve
ment and for the well-being of their
operatives. Hence harmony and coop
Grafton has been matter of course and
strikes and lockouts unknown"
Two points in the above should be
emphasized-namely, the part which
a wide awake board of trade bears
in building up and strengthening the
material prosperity of any town !;

1T SOUNDS BETTER.

1t is now settled-at least one or
two newspapers have made an at
tempt in that direction-that the
term vacant" instead of "aban-
doned," should be employed in speak
ing of Vermont farms that are unoc-
cupied.
Well, that certainly is the better
sounding and more appropriate
word To call farm abandoned"
may reflect a little harshly on the
quality of the soil, while to refer to
it as vacant" would seem to leave
the soil open to adoption by some
more willing and painstaking tenant.

There will be a close season in
Boring sea this year. The United
States wants it, and the British
government has assented to it. This
will prove a satisfactory way out of
an unpleasant mess, and it is to be
hoped that no more feeling" will
develop in regard to the seal fish
cries there. Measures are to be taken
to see that prohibition prohibits in
this case.

GubernatoriaI Timber.

The Hardwick Gazette has made
the discovery that Hon. Josiah Grout
of Orleans county is morally certain
of being the next governor of Yer
mont. There is certainly considera BILE
gubernatorial timber on the East
side. Besides Orleans, other counties
can present some good names which
will readily suggest themselves to
those who have thus early begun to
contemplate the political aspect of
the near future. For instance, Cal
edonia county could present such ac-
ceptable names as Col. 7. c. Fetch
err, or Hon H. c. Bates; Orange
county, an able man in the person of
Hon. William H. Dubois; Windham
county, man who has grown in
pubic esteem, the Hon. Levi K. Full
Ter; Washington county, one of the
best models of a self-made man in
Hon. Frank Plumley; while the far
mers who are looking for a represent
ative man of their class would find
him in Windsor county in the person
Of Hon. o. M. Tinkham. The list is
worthy of study by our voters and
an early beginning will injure no one.
