Vermont Editors Outing.

The Vermont Editors and printers
and their friends enjoyed a most de-
lightiul outing last week. They as
sembled at St. Johnsbury on the alter
noon of July 9TH and were most cor
daily received and royalty entertained
by the members of the fraternity of
that beautiful and growing town and
by the citizens through the Board Of
Trade. Those who arrived in season
were taken over the town and shown
its beauties. and in the evening were
rendered receptions at the Athenaeum
and at the new and magnificent build
ing, the Museum, recently given to st.
Johnsbury by Col. Franklin Fairbanks.
After a most enjoyable social season at
these places they were invited to SIT
down to a very fine banquet at the OPP
era House. After ample justice had
been done to the many good things
with which the tables were laden,
speeches. toasts, songs, etc. were IN
order and right good they all were too.

The question of Road Improvement
is the most important Of any before the
American people. There is no tax
that is more oppressive or that is ex-
pended so injudiciously. More money
is lost to the people of this country ev-
cry year by poor roads than from any
other source. 1t is not so much a
question how to produce an article as
how to get it to the best market. 1t
has been demonstrated by indisputable
facts and figures that it costs in the
majority of cases more to get a crop to
market than to grow it on the farm /;
more TO get an article to its ultimate
purchaser than to manufacture it.
This being the case anything that
tends to educate the people not only to
realize the importance Of this question
but shows them how to improve and
better the present system and save the
money now lost, is of the greatest im-
portance.
We are glad an effort is being made
to secure comprehensive road exhibit
at the Worlds Fair and that bill is
now pending in Congress to provide
for this exhibit. The passage of this
bill will result in the saving OF millions
ofdollars annually and we hope every
one Of the senators and representatives
from this state will vote for it.
If you believe in this, write your
representative a personal letter asking
him to use his influence in favor of the
bill get up petition aud send him.
Copies of the Memorial can be had OF
the members from any Congressional
District. Send for several and use
them to help on this great work.

"REMINISCENCES OF 1888.
why the New York World Thought Cleve-
land Weaker Than His Party.

why the New York World Thought Cleve-
land Weaker Than His Party.
On the 12th of January, 1889, the New
York World devoted leader, over
column in length, to a statement of the
reasons which, in its opinion, had COM
bined to compass the defeat of the Dem
ocrats in the presidential election OF
1888. This article will be read with in
terest just now. 1t will be seen that it
was the candid opinion of The World
in 1889 that its party had lost the presi-
Iency the year before, not through any
fault of its own, but because of the con-
spicuous and many sided weakness Of its
candidate, Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Cleve-
lands immediate partisans are fond Of
arguing that he is better than his party.
The World does not go into the question
of ethics, but it distinctly charges that
he was weaker than the Democracy four
years ago.
Obviously, what gives peculiar signih-
canoe to the article in question is the
fact that The World at present is as
suring its readers that Mr.. Cleveland
was nominated ON and not in spite of his
record. What is his record on The
Worlds own showing? 1t is the record
of an official who pursued vacillating
course; who betrayed the cause of civil
service reform; who did the right thing
at the wrong time; who erected per-
sonal administration of his own; who
ignored the wishes of the majority of
the people and of tried and true party
leaders: who treated his cabinet
officers as though they were so many
clerks; who cruelty snubbed the DEM
ocracy of New York city; who
committed a preposterous blunder
in his choice of collector for the coun-
try's chief port; who played into the
hands of those representing ''the most
corrupt phase of municipal administra-
ton since Tweed" who brought ''shame
and demoralization" to his party by
''his scheme Of parties without partisan
ship and politics without politicians,
ostensibly enforced in one state to be
conspicuously violated in another"
NSuch, in brief, is Mr.. Cleveland's rec
ord as The World apprehends it and
has outlined it in its own columns.
Nevertheless, yesterday, in comment
ing upon his triumph, it calmly asserted
that he was nominated ION his charac-
ter and record.
OF course the best thing our neigh
Dor can do in the circumstances is to
shut its eyes to Mr.. Cleveland's record
and proceed to support him on the as
sumption that he hasn't got any. Or it
can take the ground that the indictment
which it framed against him in 1888 was
a typographical error. Or it can hold
that the leopard has changed his spots
that while the Cleveland of 1888 was
truly bad the Cleveland of 1892 is a re-
.ormed man.-New York Tribune.

THE CIRCUs COMING.
Special Excursions and Low Rates to
the Great Adam Forepaugh Shows
and the Fall of Nineveh.

The country is profusely billed for the
appearance Of the Adam Forepaugh Shows
which will exhibit at White River juno
ton July q, st. Johnsbury July 2S and
Montpeiier July %, and which will be the
only big show to exhibit in this vicinity
this season. The Adam Forepaugh Shows
need no recommendation to our people.
For years it has been the largest and best
conducted of all tented afnusements. Its
advent is always looked forward to as an
event of prominence, and is the occasion
of a general holiday in all lines OF trade
and professions. While the Forepaugh
exhibitions have always been noted for
their immensity and the notable character
of its many attractions in the past. the
press of the country is unanimous in pro-
nouncing it this year as the best and larg-
est circus that ever toured America.
In addition to the usual circus hippo
drome and largest menagerie in the world,
the management, at an expense OF $50 1000,
has sdded an original Bible spectacle,
seThe Fall of Nineveh, which will be pre-
sented in addition to the regular perform
ance without any extra charge. In this
sublime historical Bible spectacle over
one thousand people are required for its
production. Nothing approaching it in
the prapdness or beauty of its scenery, in
the exquisite coloring of its costumes, or
in its interesting subject has ever been
produced in this country, and when It is
taken into consideration that it is all pre-
santed in addition TO the regular perform
ance it is no wonder that the Forepaugh
show has earned the title Of the "Oldest,
Largest and Richest Exhibition in the
World."
Arrangements have been made with all
lines OF travel for n special low excursion
rate: therefore. this big exhibition can be
visited with comparatively small expense.
An particulars can besot tanned S to rate S
and time OF trains by applying to the Local
ticket agent.

for the White Mountains where dinner
was taken at the Mt. Pleasant House
and a trip enjoyed to the top of Mt.
Washington. The ride during the afr
ternoon down through the famous
White Mountain Notch to Portland
was delightful one, the day being a
perfect one for such trip. The party
was quartered at the Falmouth Hotel,
an old and well kept house. Through
the kindness of Isaac G.. Atkinson of
the Atkinson House Furnishing Co..,
whose headquarters are in Portland, i,

bay to Cushing's Island and had din
ner at the OFT wa House and spent
the afternoon at Peaks Island, reach
ing Portland in season to take the even
ing train FOR Old Orchard where they
spent Sunday at the Fiske House.
This is called the best house at Old
Orchard beach and if the way the
members of this excursion were used
is any criterion to judge by, it must be

A WOMAN'S POWER.

That morning was the dawn of a
glorious day for the sculptor Guillar-
din.
Elected on the previous day a mem
Der of the Institute, the highest honor
to French artist, he was about to ap-
pear before the five Academies, gather
ed together in solemn concourse, in
his academic coat, a magnificent gar
ment, Ornamented with green palm
leaves, resplendent in its new cloth and
silken embroidery, color of hope. The
blessed coat, opened ready to slip on
lay spread on an arm chair, and Gull
lardin contemplated it tenderly as he
arranged the bow of his white tie
'Above all, no hurry thought the
good fellow. II have plenty of time.
The fact is that, in his feverish i'm
patience, he had dressed a couple OF
hours too soon; and the beautiful Nine
Guillardin-always very slow over hel
dressing had positively declared that
on this day she would only be ready Oh
the precise mOment-nOt Z, minute ear
lier, do you hear?
Unfortunate Guillardin! What could
he do to kill the time
''Well, all the same, | will try ON my
coat" he said, and gently, as though
he were udLull1lS Julie ana lace, he
lifted the precious frippery, and hay
ing donned it with infinite precaution,
he placed himself in front OF his look
ing glass. Oh, what charming pic
ture the mirror disclosed to him! What
an amiable little Academician n, freshly
Matched, happy, smiling, grizZled and
protuberant, with arms too short in
proportion to his figure, which in the
new sleeves acquired a stiff and auto
matte dignity Thoroughly satisfied
with his appearance. GuilIardin march
ed up and down, bowed as though en-
tering the Academy, smiled to his col
leagues of the fine arts, and assumed
academical attitudes. Nevertheless,
whatever pride one may feel at ones
personal appearance, it is impossible
to remain two hours in full dress, be-
fore looking glass. AT last our Aca-
demician felt somewhat fatigued, and
fearful lest he should rumple his coat,
made up his mind to take it off and lay
it back very carefully ON the arm chair
Then seating himself opposite on the
other side of the fireplace, with his legs
stretched out and his two hands cross
ed over his dress waistcoat, he begaI
to indulge in sweet dreams as he gaze6
at the green coat.
