LONDON, Dec. 4.-The Pail Mall Ca
zete, commenting on President Cleve-
lands annual message to Congress, says
this afternoon: President Cleveland reit-
crates his faith in free trade. but we do
not expect to get anything more out of the
tariff controversy. That chance is lost
until the Democrats return 10 power with

CHEAP IMPUTATIONS.

The Middlebury Register recently
made a public presentation here at
St. Johnsbury the basis of an alleged
funny remark as to certain gentle
mans presumed candidacy for the
lieutenant governorship. This is a
rather cheap class of journalism !;
and the ST. Adams Messenger very
properly picks up the Register S
paragraph and administers rebuke
to what it calls mot altogether
uncommon tendency to attribute
Interior purposes to actions of
thoughtfulness and kindness, if so be
the doer of them is suggested for
public station"
This false imputation of motive in
cases where prominent men see fit
to indulge in generous acts is quite
frequent in this state and elsewhere
among that class of writers and
takers who are not particular as to
the quality of their utterances; but,
fortunately, the general public can
see through the thin texture Of such
imputations, and takes them for
what they are worth. In closing it's
article on this subject, the Mes
senger says:
Whether it is fair and legitimate
political warfare to create or en-
deavor to create a prejudice against
a gentleman of unimpeachable per-
sonal character, unusual public and
private generosity, and exceptional
business ability because of a gift of
comparatively slight value to
worthy organization, may be a mat
ter of opinion. The Messenger, at all
events, does not so regard it,

A REPUBLICAN BREEZE,

The political atmosphere last week,
in those localities where elections
were held, was of a decided republican
sort, the democracy suffering gen
eral rout. The popular opinion of
the tariff and financial schemes of the
present congress, and the admins
tration's attitude on several other
questions, has been rather emphatic
ally voiced during the past year,
whenever the dear public got a
chance to air it's views. In state and
municipal elections the verdict has
been the samoa verdict of dissa it's
faction with the present condition of
things and desire for change"
which will be some what more appre-
ciable than the last change which
the people called for-and got. The
town and city elections in New York
and Maine-to say nothing of our
own two cities in Vermont where
party lines were awn-show a
policy as the more reliable basis of
national prosperity. Large gains
are reported from all sections, and in
some cases where republican control
of municipal government has been
lacking for many years, the tables
have this year been completely turned.
The New York Sun, with its usual
frankness. reviews the situation and
proffers its advice thus:
The 366th day of Mr.. Cleveland's sec
ond term finds the president in the Dismal
swamp, and the democracy in the indigo
depths OF encouragement if not despair.
That is the balance sheet of the years
business. 1t has been a sorry year for
democracy. Well, it is the duty of hon
esty TO tell the exact trnth about a bad
situation but it is none the less the duty
of courage to go ahead and make the
best of it. The democracy's task for the
