AN INTERESTING CONFESSION,

If confession is good for the soul, Gov.
Pages should be in prime condition :
for, according to the report in the Free
Press, he told the veterans at the Grand
Army encampment banquet last week
that 'the energy of all our lives is to
make money, and some of us sometimes
seek official positions, but let me tell
you, young man, you will be obliged TO
descend into depths that will bring the
blush of shame to your cheek"
The governor knows all there is to be
known about oflice-seeking and office
getting, and his experience is so recent
that his statements may be accepted as
absolutely correct.
But how has this state of things come
about? Politicians have not always
been compelled to descend into such
awful depths as the governor describes :;
indeed, it is possible that there are those
today holding national and State offices
who didn't blush particle, aud had no
cause to blush, over their efforts to get
them.
The blushing comes in, we suspect,
when man wants office more than the
people want him to have it, and the in
tensity of the erubescence is in exact
proportion to the fantness of the popu-
lar call. In other words, when mans
ambition is the chief thing calling him
to office, and the rank and file of the
voters perceive in him no special fitness
for the place he seeks to occupy, he
must do shameful acts in order to bring
the popular will, or the expression of
it, into line with his desires.
The governors attention should be
called to the remark of Senator Ingalls,,
who, when asked if a politician could
be good Christian, answered, "All
things are possible with God'. The

BALTIMORE is GAINING a reputation
as the home of original aud peculiar
frauds. Not long since a resident of that
city got large money and silver mugs
out of the members of the United States
Senate by naming his children after
them. Now Il drunken father of five
children living with woman not his
wife has been discovered by charitably-
disposed ladies who induced him to re-
form, marry the woman and have the
children chrstened. The family were
not averse to the proceeding, so the la
dies rugged out the whole lot with new
clothes for the ceremonies but it turns
out that this is the nineteenth time the
couple have reformed and been married
and the tWenty-ninth time the children
have been christened, and all for the
sake of new clothes.

TILE FOLLOWING, from the New York
Sun, is commended to the advocates of
woman suffrage, male and female, as eX-
pressing the truth and the whole truth
concerning the matter, and it applies to
Nernont as well as to other portions of
the union:
The majority of voters care nothing
about woman suffrage. because the ma
iOrity of women care nothing about it..
There is no use in tackling the legislature
to give women the right to vote until
they show that they want to vote. When
they manifest that desire there will be no
need of demanding woman suffrage from
legislatures; they will bring in woman
suffrage on silver platter, and be very
glad of the chance. AT present, at least,
in all the Older States, the appearance be-
fore the legislature of the advocates of
woman suffrage is hardly taken serious
ly. Most of the votes cast in favor of it
are either due to politeness or not par
ticularly refined sense of humor.

THE CENSUS OF VERMONT AND ADDI-
SON COUNTY

The returns of the late census in this
State and in the county of Addison are
not especially gratifying. The State has
gained less than 100 in population, while
this county has lost over two thousand
in the last ten years. a few towns, nota-
bly, Barre, Rutland and Burlington, have
gained.
1t is not probable that the succeeding
decade will see like lack of increase in
the State or a similar diminution in the
county. For nearly fifty years this re-
gion has sent its young men to the grow
ing West, where the attractions were, or
were supposed to be, stronger than those
offered at home. As consequence the
West has gained at the expense of Yer
mont. But most of the better lands of
the West are now occupied and that sec
ton cannot hold out for man" years the
inducements that have proved 50 strong.
Nor is this all of the story. With the
men there has gone West vast sum of
Vermont money, which has been equally
try. There comes time, however, when
a limit is reached to the amount of money
that can profitably be employed for the
development of Il section, and that limit
has apparently been discovered in GER
tain sections of the western country.
Safe Investments can be made there and
will be made for years to come, but they
must be at lower rates of interest than
have prevailed. The result must be the
return here of much money, which will
be available for the development of east
ern manufacturing. When that comes to
pass the value of eastern real estate will
increase, farming will be more profitable
than it now is and young men will stay
at home. Ex-Gov. Long of Massachu
in a recently published article:
There is no fear for the future of New
England rural life. 1t will be diff.
ferent life from that of generation or
two ago. 1t will be not unique but a
cOnglomerate population. 1t will not be

lT WOULD be interesting to hear the
comments of man of the twenty-frst
century if, in reading a file of papers
printed in these days, he should come
upon some of the cards of thanks. He
would infer, and naturally enough, that
the people of the nineteenth century did
not commonly assist in the burial of
their neighbors and friends, or try to
help them when fire broke out in their
houses. These manifestations of kindly
feeling one toward another were, he
would reason, exceedingly rare, so much
so that the surviving relatives felt
bound to advertise the fact if it was
funeral at which they were observed, or

The RECIPROCITY EXPERIMENT.

Should the reciprocity experiment up
on which the country is entering meet
the expectations of friends of the policy,
Secretary Blaine will reap larger share
of glory than falls to the lot of most
statesmen. Last Saturday President
Harrison proclaimed reciprocity treaty
with Brazil. 1t provides for free admis-
sion into the republic of our breadstuffs,
coal, machinery, and for large reduc-
ton of the duties now assessed by Brazil
on lard, butter, cheese and meats, iron
and steel, manufactures of leather, etc.
Tables prepared by Secretary Blaine
show that of the average annual importa-
tions into Brazil of articles now admitted
free-S20, ,003, ,939-the United States has
furnished on the average but S3,394 ,633
worth: while of the articles on which
Brazil reduces the duties the United
States has furnished but 81 ,3O5, ,S9S of the

too early for them to consider what they
will do in the premises. 1t is the law
relating to repairs on highways, and it
gives the several towns the right to say
whether the highway tax shall be paid

dollar of the grand list, to be expended
by the town as a whole, or whether the
tax shall be paid in labor at 20 cents on
the dollar of the list and be laid out un-
