Vermont Maple Sugar.

Our former townsman, G. E. Brecken-
ridge, now in Minneapolis, Minn., in
writing to have the address of his BAN
NER changed, has this to say:
Twill give you an item about maple SUI
gar that l heard this morning. Yer
mont seems to head the list, in every
body's estimation, as a maple sugar pro
ducer hear the name Vermont men
toned oftener in connection with the
sugar than in any other. A man who
was in my brothers store this morning
selling genuine (?) Vermont sugar told
him Of firm in this city that are said to
be manufacturing an imitation. In
their effort to give it little of the genu
inc flavor they are said to boil little OF
the maple wood in it.
don't know whether or not any OF
of that grade of sugar is credited to
Vermont, but the Green Mountain State
has reason to be proud of its reputation
for sugar, for when people get cheated
they do not blame Vermont with the de-
ception, but they say of the inferior arti
Gle, "That is not genuine; it has beer
adulterated on the way"
We are having rather sharp weather
since the blizzard, but it will soon bC

r1r rURING SEA MATTER.

The question issue at with England
has assumed a serious aspect. Our gov
ernment m having agreed to leave the dis
mute to arbitration, the British Tory,
government begins dilatOry policy OF
delay that gives the Canadian poachers
time to put to sea expecting another
season of wholesale stealing OF our sea-
nroperty. The animus of this is quite
calling to our self-respect. AS long as
Russia held this territory, she exercised
undisputed jurisdiction. When, there mere
fore. England contests our claim to what
we purchased of Russia John Bull oe-

pretty nearly synonymous, and how
gladly the Endorsement of protection by
the Republican party was received in
New England in 1860 can readily be seen
In the files of the journal and other Re-
publican newspapers of that period.
The enactment of the Morrill, protec-
tive tariff in 1S60-61 was one of the chief
grievances of the secessionists against
the Republican party. For fifteen years
the Shareholders had been able to main
tain tariff for revenue only. which had
finally prevent nearly fatal to the indus
try and credit of the North. When they
could control our tariff policy no longer
they withdrew from the Union and
founded their Confederacy, with secess-
ion, slavery and free trade as its corner
stones. When these men came back into
the Union secession and slavery were
dead, but their pet doctrine still had
little spark of life in it. They revived it
and gave it new name, "tariff REFORM"
Now in new dress this same old idol
which used to be served by Calhoun
and Davis is worshipped by men who
bear the honored names of Andrew and
Hoar and Garrison. They have desert
ed one of the great principles for which
the Anti-Slavery party stood, and en-
braced doctrine which in this country
owes its birth and present prominence to
the old party of secession and slavery.
Is it surprising that these people are so
mortified at the just reproaches of their
old associates that their organs are
driven to falsify history in order to con-
ceal their inconsistent attitude?

A WELL.GovERNED STATE.

Gov. Peck of Wisconsin calls attention
to the fact that four leading officers in
that State are now held by newspaper
men, these being the governor the

to wait untn the locomotive touched
the crossing and then to whip the
mustang into full run for the race.
Just then the train Numbered through
the bridge over the Roaring Branch, a
few rods away, and a moment later 1T
had reached the crossing, and being late,
was tearing up the light grade like q

trust our bretheren of the "goose quilP'
will arrive at an amicable understanding
for their own peace of mind, but we are
iuclined to think that the canvass points
to the representative farmer candi-
date. In this line three names are prom
inently mentioned: Henry A. Fletcher of
CaYendish, the present Gov
ernor, Hons. Victor 1. Spear and Josiah
Grout Farmer Chaplin of Middlesex has
also been mentioned. The Brattleboro

st. JOhnsbury brethren cordially support
Col. Fairbanks. We think the MeSsen-
gers position is sound. 1t says: "Its
candidate is that Republican who, COM

sponsible duties of the position, can
command the largest vote. 1t is con-
tent to leave the selection to the con-
vention."
