THE AND THE NE W.

On Saturday last MI laii'eoh
and his cabinet passed the reins OF
government into the hands of Presi-
dent Cleveland and the eight gentle
men whom he had chosen to assist
him in the administration OF nation
al affairs for the next four years
The peaceful and good-natured man
ner in which this transfer OF authorl-
ty over the interests of sixty-hve mil
lions of people was made is CRAFTY
ing bit oftestimony to the stability OF
orr national structure, and is besides
an instructive emphasis of the tact
that ours is government of the peo-
nile. for the people and by the people
In No other country on the globe, 1t is
safe to say, is so serene transfer
nossible. The only signs when
marked the change were the immense
and enthusiastic assemblage to wit
ness the inauguration ceremonies at
Washington, and the unturllng OF
the dominant party's banners at
many different points throughout
the country; otherwise the nation
was &C calm as the calmest OF June
mornings.
No real lover of his country
whatever may have been the OPINION
which influenced his action at the
polls last fall-will wish the new
administration otherwise than well,
for the reason that the interests OF
al, are more or less concerned in the
success or failure of those entrusted
for the time being with the conduct
of government
The proof of the excellence OF Mr.
Harrison's administration is appar-
ent in the general prosperity OF the
country. His policy has looked to
the up-building of our business inter-
ests, to the strengthening OF our
friendly relations with foreign pow
ers, to the strict maintenance OF our
national dignity, and to the promul-
cation of such financial, industrial
and social principles as would en-
nance the pest interests of the entire
people. However the incoming adj
ministration may differ from the
outgoing as to the methods by
which these ends can best be attain
ed, it will be expected to operate or
a line of policy which will not inter
fere with the degree OF prosperity
which has prevailed in years past
1t will be commended for any rea
Improvement in national policy
and it will be denounced for an,
steps in the wrong direction.
Indications point strongly to
wards conservative course OF &C
ton on the part of Mr.. Cleveland
if one can judge from certain thing
that have already been said an
done. Aside from that arisin
from the uneasiness and disappoin
ment which may prevail anon
some OF the office. holders as resu
of the change, the new administri
ton will not be met by any bite
ness or prejudice, unless it invite
such antagonism by impolitic acts
and "the people," so called, w
look to the new president and h
immediate advisers for judicio'
manipulation Of those interests upc
which the welfare of the nation d
ponds.

ers take winter as a matter OF
course, and yet have been tolo ny
a Yankee, who gathered his WISDOM
by wears of experience as peddIer,
that its inhabitants wasted just nan
their lives in wishing it WASH t such
abominably cold weather" Such
authority as this is of course not TO
be questioned for an 'nstant-'or
who is wiser than a peddler, or more
competent to speak for all New
England?
Then our critic proceeds to tell
how the country houses in New
England are banked up with leaves
or cornstalks in the fall to ensure
for their occupants a lease OF life TIL
spring; of SHOWS that DRIFT IN under
the roof and encroach upon the ped-
room limits, of homes so shattered
and battered that the rain has tree
entrance in summer and there must
needs be general shovelling and
cleaning up after every snow Storm
of sleeping rooms where the air IS as
keen as it is out of doors, and where
"every breath of the sleepers makes
visible cloud of vapor;" OF the
terrible hardships which New Eng
landers endure in ever having to get
up at all in the morning during the
winter months; of "houses so de-
crepit with age or lack of care" that
it would "be no wonder it at times
the inmates actually suffered" with
the cold; of low running wood piles,
and shiftless men, and women who
have to saw and split their own
wood in order to escape death at the
hands of fierce winter OF the struggle
to keep roads broken out, and of the
many abandoned roads; OF the
serious time which the youngsters
have in getting to school through
the frosts and SHOWS.
In short, the writer of the article
in question seems to have looked out
over New England through glasses
that were thickly blurred by frost, anc
that prevented his getting any but
a cherries view of winter life in thai
section of the country. Vermonter'
who read this contribution to thu
Christian Union will smile at wha
imagination has done for the author
The article does injustice to New
England country life, even in winter
1t does injustice TO hundreds of farm
ers homes in Vermont where no
only comfort, but a fair degree @
luxury, can be found even amid tn
severest wintry surroundings. |
misrepresents a host OF sturdy New
Englanders who, knowing what t.
expect during the winter season

At a regular meeting Of Webster
Lodge, No. ll5, 10. Q. F., its district dep
uty, Henry Steinhaner of Groton. On
that evening, at a time when everything
seemed silent, Frank Sears arose from
his station, and with words of praise
and expressions of love presented Bro
~Steinhauer most beautiful Pas. Grands
Collar, To say that Bro. Steinhauer wac
duly moved " this surprise would
not, in the least, express it. In response
to the presentation Bro. j. W.. Abbott
made a 'ew very appropriate remarks.
Bro. %Steinhauer then arose to make a
response, but his surprise seemed to
fill him too full for u~tterance, vet he did
thank the order most sincerity for con-
feering upon him an emblem of great
honor. 1t is indeed a pleasure for n
band of kindred spirits TO assemble
within a temple dedicated to purity and
love for the purpose of afiliating. We
are bound together by a fraternal tie
only less sacred than that which binds
the family. 1t was the qualification of
our souls to make an offering truly of
some werth toa brther who has been
the source Of great value to our institn-
ton. 1t is o. hope that you, Bro. Stein
hauer, may cunsi er this gift as an orna-
ment Of worth 70 our position, and that
sometimes, when the cares Of life press
heavily upon you, the sight Of this en-
Diem may cause reFose and %reirehment

and affection we hage,fo for you ana

HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT..
Miss JOSEPHINE F. CLoYD, ASST

Miss JOSEPHINE f. CLoYD, Asst.
The attendance this month was not so
great as might have been, owing to the
amount Of sickness in the district.
The school, as a whole, is making rapid
| progress in it's work. The teachers are
laborlng zealousDy for the interest and
upbuilding of the school. The work of
the classes in all the departments is de-
serving of great merit. There are some,
of course, that are inclined to lag" the
only reason for which is that the course
of study to be pursued requires work.
and it is on account of this feature, WORK,
that some are inclined to wayer.
The question is constantly being asked
"Are you going to have a graduating
class this Year, The answer is very
easv. There will be a commencement,
providing the class merits it. The class
will merit graduation should it have
proper time. 1t will crowd the entire
school to dismiss at the end of eight
months, Aprll2S, '93, but if we have nine
months, the time usually allotted graded
schools, a good. healthy promotion will
take place throughout the schools; then
a commencement is certain.
1t would, indeed, be a great discourage
meDt to the senior class to close school
without graduating this year; 1t would
not only discourage the members but il
would d%issapoint the parents. Gradua-
ton should be looked upon as an honor
to the school and an excellent precedent
and inducement TO subordinate classes.
The senior class is laboring very ear
nestly to cob. plete honorably the re-
quired course of study, and /, as Supt.,
give the members great encouragement,
and assure them that their noble efforts
viii be crowned With a diploma, which
means a great deal.
The school has been greatly benefited
by having an excellent library to refer
to.
The teachers extend an invitation to
the patrons of the school to visit tie
several departments, look ever our ex.
library, and should any book
meet their observation they are welcome
to take the same home 20 read daring
lie long wintry evenings. The librarian
Will bo pleased to accommodate any and
