Good News from Vermont.

We send democratic greeting to the
state Of Vermont 1t is the home Of the
unterrified democracy-the Spartan band
which fights to the last Always failing,
the democrats Of Vermont are always
faithful. They stick together through
good and evil report, they hold the fort in
the face Of all contingencies.
The democratic party of Vermont is
not large party, but it is a glorious one.
1t is always defeated, and yet in every
election it wins a moral victory by dis
playing courage and tenacity worthy
of the great cause to which 1t is pledged.
There are no deserters in its ranks. In
Vermont, once a democrat always a dem
Ocrat. The SpoilS Of office do not allure,
the grim certainty of defeat causes no
dismay.
The old organization which has been
battling against fearful odds for
so long, is not only III
tact, but has been making gains.
Think Of that! In a presidential year,
with the leading republicans imploring
their party to poll a full vote for the sake
is cut down. No wonder that republican
editors observing this result are inclined
to lose their bearings and holler 'hello!'
in the woods.
The unterrified Of Vermont, seeing the
appeals of the republicans, got themselves
together and gave the presidential display
its quietils. The result is that there is
no comfort for Mr.. Harrison in the re-
turns from the Green Mountain State.
The election took place Tuesday, and the
vote shows a falling off of at least 10000
in the republican majority as compared
with 1883. The democrats have made
gains in a great many towns, and the re-
suit is to give new hope to the democrats.
If the party of tariff reform has made
gains in the old wing state of Vermont,
what is to be expected in Massachusetts,
where the tariff question has been ex-
hauStiyely discussed?

A Society Event.

Much interest is manifested in the
appearance of Mr.. Charles Frohman's
Company at the Academy of Music on
Saturday evening, Oct Der 90. The
play "Gloriana," in which the organiza-
ton will be seen, is comedy which has
the prestige Of long and successful
run in New YoIk city, and from all &C.
counts il very funny, it is similar to
those which have been most popular
during the past year or two. The theme
of mistaken identity is used generously
in "Gloriana." The con pany is COM
potent one and includes such we'll
known players as George w. Barnum,
G. Herbert Leonard, Charles Drake,
John Allen, d. Sherwood, G. G. Phillips,

COMPLIMENTARY TO THE PAPERS.

Geo. w. Childs gives his impress
sion of western papers as follows:
"My strongest impression is of the
very excellent character of the news
papers. They compare favorably
with any published in eastern towns,
but / don't think they are fully ap-
preciated. The people do not pat
ronize them as they should be pat
ronized. They don't give them large
circulation and plentiful advertising
as they should. If the people of the
far west as fully appreciated the
services of their great journals as
they should they would be prosper.
GUS in degree equal and commensu-
rate to the enterprise they display
and the great cost of and ability
used in their publication. In Victo-
ria, British Columbia, / found that
the circulation of the newspapers was
not one-fourth what it should be ac-
cording to the population. l find
that the salaries paid newspaper
writers and Union rates are quite as
large here as in the east"
Coming from the source it does
one of the best newspaper men of
the United States--the above is very
high praise. But one trouble with
the western newspaper men is the
fact of their cutting rates on each
other and not working together. If
this were done they would all be in
better circumstances and make more
money.
