PARIS, Dec 2s.-The sensational trial of
a clerk named Guggenheim, charged with
forgeries and embezzlements amounting
to 10000 francs from his employers, who
are wealthy manufacturers at Nancy, has
just been closed. The jury brought in a
verdict of guilty on all the charges, and
the prisoner was condemned to fifteen
years in the galleys and loses civil rights
for ten years. In the course of the trial it
was shown that Guggenheim's employer
had been 80 embarrassed by his thefts that
they were obliged to reduce the salaries of
their employees ten per cent. The revela-
tion of the prisoners thefts caused great
surprise in the community, as he had
borne an excellent character and was
acted for the austerity of his life. When
sentence was pronounced the prisoner fell

THE FALL ELECTIONS.

The fall elections in several of the
Eastern and Western states occur on
Tuesday, Nov. 8. One person can
predict as well as another, and we
venture prediction on the result in
the three most important states,
New York, Ohio and Massachusetts.
The Empire state is always
doubtful one. 1t gave Cleveland
1872 900 majority for governor, then
when he ran for president his own
state gave him only 1900. Harrison
carried New York in 1884 by $4,000
majority. This year it is a contest
between Tammany Hall and the re-
publlcans; between corrupt and hon
est politics. Both candidates for
governor are honorable and distin-
guished public citizens, but the repub-
hcan candidate, ]. Sloat Fassett. will
with the republicans this year and
so will the independent vote. The
independents agree with George Will
liam Curtis, who has said: Il shall
vote the republican ticket this fall
In politics regard myself as an in
dependent, but when it comes to a
choice as between Tammanv Hall
and its powerful organization on the
one hand, and the republicans on the
other, l can have no hesitation"
In Ohio. as in New York, state
issues are very prominent. The re-
publicans are putting forth their best

INSPECTOR OF FINA NOE.

Gov. Page has not appointed a
state inspector of finance yet, but is
doing a great deal of thinking upon
the subject. The successful man,
whoever he may be, will be one who
is in hearty sympathy with Gov.
Pages views on western invest
ments. The Passumpsic Savings
bank, officers of the Citizens bank
and others in this town have recon-
mended A B. Noyes to the governor
for this position. Mr.. Moves is as
competent to fill this office as any
man in the state and we should be
pleased to chronicle his appoint
ment.

NOTHING TO COMPLAIN OF.

The last number of the Financier
has readable article on the gravity
of the financial situation abroad,
and makes a little comparison
between affairs over the water and
in this country. After revie wing the
European status pretty thoroughly,
the Financier closes by saying: ION
our own North American continent
Mexico has only recently emerged
from a national bankruptcy through
a compromise with her creditors,
and Canada is struggling with
national debt altogether dispropor-
tomato to her population, and from
a very unsatisfactory state of in
dustrial and commercial affairs.
Taking, therefore, the whole civilized
world together, there is no country
which has so little to complain of as
the United States, the grumbling of
disappointed stock operators to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

efforts to elect Maj Mckinley gov
ernor, and the wiyll do it. But the
democrats are after the control of
the legislature to elect democratic
successor to John Sherman and to
provide for choosing presidential
electors by congressional districts,
as was done in Michigan, thus ensur-
ing the election of 16 out of the 81
electors from Ohio for the democratic
candidate for president. So il the
republicans elect Mckinley and lose

cratic victory and make Ohio demo-
cratic in 1892.
with democratic governor. The
present incumbent, William E. Rus
sell, is Harvard graduate Of 80 odd
years, fluent and eloquent speaker
and man who was elected to this
position by republican votes. Many
believe that the same men who voted
for him last year will do it again.
If they do, this popular young man,
who was mayor of Cambridge before
he was 80, will again be elected gov
ernor of Massachusetts. His oppo-
nent, ex-Congressman Charles H.
Allen of Lowell, is a clean man, hard
ly past 40 years, who was nomi-
mated because he was a young man.
1t is generally conceded that Gov.
Russell has been good governor, so
the republicans are bringing national
issues to the front The republicans
are fighting hard, but we predict
that Gov. Russell will be reelected.
This does not, however, mean
democratic victory in 1892, as
Massachusetts is republican state
and will be for some years to come.

art and trade publica tons and the
long list of agazines-they are all
there. The supply is very much
larger than the demand-in fact, Of
the making of books there is no end.
This large amount of cheap litera
ture is playing the mischief with the
regular book trade" remarked a
dealer the other day; and a glance
at one section of his shelves, where
many of the standard books were
offered at thirty-fve cents apiece,
tended to confirm the truth of his
statement. When such class Of
books can be bought at SO low
figure, it is evident that something
is the matter somewhere, and the
trouble can be found in the fact that
the market is fairly flooded with
paper covered publications that can
be bought for a mere song, and
which, after being read, can be
thrown away and never missed.
1t is to be regretted by the lover of
good books, the admirer ola standard
litera ture, and by the conscientious
and enthusiastic bookseller himself,
that so much cheap stuff is being
ground out from week to week and
put upon the market. 1t goes with
out saying that this interferes to
great extent with the distribution of
really desirable books-and to this
degree it is a misfortune. A literature

CANADA'S HOPE.

An Ottawa dispatch of the 18th
inst. says that there is really a great
deal of agitation in Canada over the
matter of annexation to the United
States, and that the number of those
who favor political union With this
country is increasing al rate which
gives Premier Abbott some uneasi
ness. Among the new converts are
mentioned several ardent supporters
Of the late Sir John Macdonald. An
amusing feature of the talk concern
ing annexation is that it is looked
upon by the Canadians themselves
as 1.-The only recourse to save Canada
from bankruptcy and ruin
While a fair degree of reciprocity
might be made of advantage to such
near neighbors as the United States
and Canada, the propriety OF polit-
ical union between the two is a wide
open question which. if brought to a
serious consideration, would pro-
woke very warm discussion on this
side of the line If annexation is re-
garded by our Canadian friends sim
ply as a remedy for financial evils
which threaten them, the United
States would be justified in manifest
ing reluctance to assume the role of
physician and apply the remedy.
