We emphatically endorse every word
of the above. We do need just such a
man for governor. Now will the
Phoenix please tell us who its ideal man
is! 1t can safely be said he is not an
office seeker or any man who has been
waiting for his turn to come to be gov
ernor, or anv man who has any ''claims"
on the office. If the Phoenix really be-
lieves that the man should be nominat-
ed who has done the most to help the
people of Vermont to understand the
possibilities of the State and how to
work for their development, and who
has done more than any other man in
showing the outside world that YER
mont has good in her and that her at
fractions and the advantages she can
offer are equal to those of most states
and excelled by none, it must mean
Hon. " l. Spear Of Braintree, who
has had the whole charge of the great
work of advertising the resources of
Vermont. from which so much good
has already come. But he is not a
candidate and viii not be, under any
circumstances. as he has never yet and
never will seek any office.

The past week the papers contained
the welcome announcement that the
managers of the Louisiana Lottery Co.
had decided to abandon their contest
for the renewal of their charter. They
declared that they had mistaken the pub
lie sentiment and had come to the con-
clusion that they would not accept a
charter if Que were given them. 1t is
probable that the recent decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
which affirmed the validity of the law
passed by the fifty-frst Congress maxi
ing it a crime to send advertisements
of the lottery through the mails, great
" hastened this welcome decision, and
that it was law on the one hand and
public sentiment on the other which
brought about the downfall of this
mighty corporation. A month ago,
even two weeks ago, it seemed to most
people that justice stood more than an
even chance of being defeated, and as
if the same power which had defed
the people and the government so long
would continue to fatten on the life
blood of the nation. We are living in
eventful times. 1t is only few months
since that the Mormon leaders openly
announced their purpose to cease defy
ing the laws and to renounce polygamy.
And half the people now living can re-
member the time when it seemed as if
slavery had never before been so strong
" intrenched in our national life. But
slavery went down before the unsheath-
ed sword of liberty and the wrath ofan
avenging God the power of Mormon
ism, which controlled absolutely one
great territory and held the balance of
power in four others, has been COM
PEELED to succumb before the just laws
of just government and now the gi-
gantic octopus OF Louisiana has been
forced to yield to an overwhelming
public sentiment and wise decision of
the highest tribunal of the land. In
view of these marvellous results coming
in so short a time, and when the power
of the evils seemed at their height, who
shall say that the s'Mene, meme, tekel,
upharsain' of the liquor traffic is not
already written on the retreating walls
of the present century!

The daily and religious papers have
been giving elaborate biographies of the
late Charles Haddon Spurgeon, pastor
Of the (Baptist) Metropolitan Taber-
nacle. London. The facts there set
forth teach conclusively two things :
Mr.. Spurgeon was not afraid of work.
He had magnificent physique, and he
used it TO its utmost. Most men think
the labors of a moderately sized parish
sufficient to occupy their energies, but
he had charge OF church membership
of several thousand over which. he ex-
ercised careful guardianship, and had
the largest city in the world for hispar-
ish. Unlike most ministers he could
never repeat a sermon, for they were
all published as soon as uttered. In
addition to this he had active superyis-
ion of a pastors training college which
sent out its hundreds of preachers, I'M
dertook the oversight of an extensive
orphanage, and was the responsible ed
itor Of a weekly paper. Besides this
he did a large amount Of miscellaneous
work, such as dedicating churches and
speaking at anniversaries. His ability
and willingness to make the most Of
every talent given him was one secret
Of his success. Another thing may be
noted. He preached plain and SIM
pie Gospel that could be understood by
the masses. He did not have to pro-
claim heresy to draw crowd, he did
not have to become sensational in or
der to fill his auditorium. For more
than score of years he drew seven
thousand people to his church every
Sunday BY clear and earnest preach
ing of the old-fashioned Gospel. This
fact carries its own lesson.

rhree Candidates.

A good many men have been ''talked
Of for governor, but the three positive
candidates are Levi X. Fuller of Brat
tleboro, Franklin Fairbanks of st.
Johnsbury and Josiah Grout of Derby.
Concerning these it may be said that
the two first named will push until they
win or see that they are beaten, while
Mai, Grout will 90 a bit slower and
push as he sees opportunities. Lieut.
Gov. Fletcher and several other men
are named as candidates, but all ex-
cept the three named are of the "dark
horse" kind and unlikely to crowd much
in their own behalf. Rutland Herald.

lie shnnld BE a vermonter.

The discussion of the governorship
has Enthusiastically emphasized TO the
public mind the fact that it Is not a
representative" man of any class or
occupation who is wanted for governor
of Vermont in 1892, but a yermonter
who fully appreciates the condition OF
the affairs Of the state as they stand to-
day. who realizes her opportunities, and
who possesses the wish and the ability
to make the mostof these opportunities.
To make some man governor this year
simply because he is supposed to rep
resent the farmers, the lawyers, the
merchants or the manufacturers, would
be no more wise than to select a man
to manage ones private business, or
to take some other position Of response
bility or trust, for the same reason.
What is wanted is a man who repre-
sents Vermont, and who can help her
people to understand their own PossI-
biliiies. and work for their develop
ment, while showing to the outside

A Renresentative Farmer.

"A representative farmer" who j:
also a gentleman of excellent qualii-
cations and proved and admitted abili-
ty, is Hon. Josiah Grout of Derby
whom very likely the St. Albans Mes
senger has in mind. If a man must be
kept in the cellar simply because his
brother is prominently before the peo.
pie, then John Sherman should have
been suppressed until a year ago. Such
nonsense is on level with the bass

Many people have questioned the
success of the missionary enterprises
carried on by the various denomina-
tional societies. But upwards oils 900

heathendom and accept the liberty of
the Gospel in the coming year, provid-
ed sufficient money can be raised to
send men to the whitening fields. In
the face Of such triumphs as this, aud
of the marvellous ingathering which
came to the American Baptists in their
Telugu mission several years ago, it is
only the most bigoted scotfer who will
declare that it does not pay to carry the
Gospel to the lands of darkness beyond
the sea. Let alone the spiritual bene-
fits conferred, the proclamation .of the
doctrines of the New Testament to the
nations of heathendom has resulted in
lifting vast masses OF people to high
er plane of civilization. The wonder
ful awakening in Japan is due to mis-
sionary effort more than to any one
other agency.

A Sober Fact.

1t is an undoubted fact, and will be
demonstrated in the near future, that
many of the young men in the republi-
can party in Vermont have become
weary of acting as the tail to the party
kite and as so much inanimate ballast
to the ship of state. The party is run
by the same patriots who controlled its
destinies before the war, and the only
use of the boys is to vote and keep
quiet. The time is coming when they
viii either be allowed representation in
the party councils, or else the said
councils will be badly twisted and bent.
The campaign of two years ago dis
gusted many, others having discovered
that there is more than one respectable
party in this country, and if republican
management in Vermont does not un-
dergo a change before long there will
be trouble and to spare. This is So
Der fact, and will bear sober reflection.

The preliminary statements IN an ed
itorial of our last issue may have been
little misleading as to the possible
salary of the Methodist ministers OF the
Vermont Conference. Including house
rent the average salary paid last year
was less than 625.00, and the highest
cash salary given any member was but
$1,000. Much larger salaries are paid
in the large cities of other states, but
the amounts received in this section are
small. This is measurably true also
OF the ministers of all denominations in
this State. But the Congregational
ists. having been much longer in the
field, and having many more men of
wealth, are able to do larger things in
way of church edifces and ministerial
support

Abner had enjoyed that lobster an1az-

press his brother to make him call
