WE SHOULD HOPE NOT.

The staid and serious Popular Science
Monthly in its January number prints
an article under the startling caption:
''Wiil the Coming Woman Lose her
Hair?" Well, we should hope not, in
deed. Can you imagine anything quite
so disappointing as bald-headed femi-
ninity? We wot not. What business
has any one to dip into such gruesom e
subject anyhow? Isn't it recognized as
mans supreme right to wear polish ed
poll? Hasn't he established this right
through years Of accomplishing accept
ance of iibe and jeer from all quarters
He las won his spurs; let him have them
undivided-unparted, as it were. We
suspect than this is some insane idea /;
some campaign lie" gotten up to make
people change the subject of their ordi-
nary conversation. And it is safe to do
that much. But that it will be receiv ed
with any burst of applause we gravely
doubt. And any man who, while wait
ing for his wife to 60 out with him-he
always has to, you know-has watched
her iab somewhere in her head, already
stuck full of hairpins, a couple Of those
long and murderous hat pins, will stop
to ruminate as to what she would dc
without her hair. The theory falls of its
own weight, which is quite enough to
sink anything. But If, indeed, tn {
"coming woman" is to ''lose her hair, >
then we want to quit this and all Other
''grinds" before she comes. This is oul
only proviso, and after all there is Q
telling what may happen after so thump.

'e2 HAS DONE US PROUD.

The summary of the past years build
ing and improvements in our village
which will be found in our local depart
ment, shows that 1892 has done exceed
ingly well by US. The new buildings
which have gone up have been far ahead
of the average village habitation and in
this direction alone our valuation has
been decidedly increased, not to mention
the impressions left upon visitors, which
in the contemplation of good work are
always advantageous. The need is still
for good tenements and cottage houses,
and we hope for much in this line from
the new year.
In the business section, while improve
ments have been fewer in number, they
have been of prime Importance, facilitat-
ing the conduct of increased business.
Yet is this business growth hampered
and held back by land limitations. To-
day, shoe industry, a wood olking and
shoe manufacturing business and a
saw-mill could be promptly located here
if suitable sites could be secured. Such
business is needed here and ought to be
accommodated. We do not believe that
business growth can be long held back,
but even temporary distractions are to
village disadvantage.
Along the line Of village Improvement
we have four great needs, viz: A new
railroad station, the Improvement Of
canal banks running through the village,
nice piece of bank masonry up the
Square to Westminster street, and more
concrete sidewalks. The first we may
get when the Board of Trade petition
grows long enough, and we hope long be-
fore. The last two the village may take
in hand the coming year, while the Sec
ond is of dubious promise while it is as
necessary as any one of the improve
ments mentioned. When it is considered
what an ornament to the village our
canal might be made and what tough
looking party it really is, the wonder
grows that such improvements are not
made. Those canal banks, trimmed OF
their scrubby and ragged growth and
swept of their filth and unsightly en-
bellishments, terraced and sodded down,
would be beautiful. Nor could the ex.
pense be prodigious.
1t has been good year for the village.
Let us get all we can from '93.

THE BLACK RIVER RAILROAD.

The special article on our fourth page
this week shows with tolerable clearness
that the oft-mooted but never perfected
Black River railroad is in very promising
shape. Time was, and not so long since,
when we hoped and believed that Spring
field would ultimately find its outlet and
connection at this point rather than at
Claremont. Such an arrangement would
have been to the advantage of both
Springfield and Bellows Falls, but as
now appears the Boston and Names
presence as factor in the problem
points to the conclusion that Claremont
is the objective point as considered from
Springfield. Certainly if the Fitchburg
has ever made counter plans, they have
been excellently well hidden. Our pur-
pose in securing the sketch which is in
troduced this week has been to ascertain
by personal interview the temper of
those most directly concerned, and thus
infrequently happened that those people
in retired locations, over whose land
new railroads were proposed, have only
seen, and with enlarged view, the in
creased value Of their lands, and failing
entirely to credit the advantages in off
set, have by excessive estimates of
damages, knocked the prospective de-
velopment of their own property into
the "cOcked hat" of oblivion. Such ap-
pears not to be the balance of opinion
along the proposed route from Claremoni
to Springfield, and as sign it is rare
ly good one. The several ''false alarms
in reference to this railroad do not be.

The program and premium list for the
twenty-third annual meeting of the YER
mont Dairymen's Association is just at
hand. The meeting this year is to be
held at Morrisville, Janusry 10, IL and
IL, and information may be secured from
the secretary, James X. Curtis, St. Al
bans.
To US it is satisfactory to note that
Maj. Gen. Snowden in his annual report
devotes considerable space to the Home
stead troubles. He compliments the
militia for its service during the strike.
OF the Iams' episode he says: "The ad-
mirable military spirit displayed by all
the troops, s615 in number, was kept up
throughout, except by one man, Iams' of
the 10TH" He then tells the story of
Iams conduct and punishment, justify
ing the latter on the ground that the for
mer amounted to mutiny.
The Bellows Falls correspondent of
the Brattleboro Reformer settles the
whole matter in this way anent the post
office:
"some of the more hopeful Republicans were
for time of the opinion that Mr.. Cannon would
be allowed to hold over, but that probably will
not be done, for the feeling is strong that, the
next postmaster must be Democrat, and much
| work is being already done to bring about that
result"
Democrats upon whose judgment we
can rely have told US that there is a
strong desire in that party to leave the
Office in its present hands, and if the feel
ing is not over-estimated, this Horatio
may learn something outside of his phil.
osophy. ''Hopeful Republicans'' are
not in this question at all.
