The conclusion Of the inspection of the
Vermont National Guard shows the on
tire regiment to be in excellent condition
as regards organization and morale and
discipline and the belief is expresscd thatit
has met all the requirements necessary to
secure the new arms to be distributed by
the general government. Hard work has
been done by Vermonts soldier boys and
they deserve the hearty support of our
people, as well as that generous degree
of encouragement which counts so much
in the development Of a martial spirit.

Several of our state papers are suggest
ing that the mountain limo" in politics is
ridiculous 1t is not a little interesting
to sec the press of Vermont inspired with
a holy horror when this subject is dis
CuSsed in the abstract, then when occa-
sion requires all urging with might and
main that this and that man should he
put in place because Of his situation
with reference to the mountains. Eastern
Vermont resembles and is in touch with a
New England sentiment. while Western
Vermont is more in sentiment like New
York or the Middle States 1t is natural
that the people in the two sections of the
State should wish each to reflect or repre-
sent in the topical man in the state its
peculiar sentiments or interests, and that
each sentiment should share alike in the
enjoyment Of that privilege. Besides it
would disturb an arrangement by which
man Is going alternately on the east
and west sides through an organized and
preparatory process for the enjoyment
of the privilege of rehe citing first, senti-
ments Of his own side of the state. than

whole state. These gentlemen talk as
though offices were not property, and as
though they did not belong to localities
or individuals, and as though tho rule was
to take the hest man for Office irrespoc-
tive of his locality. Now to take a single
matter of political practice and separate
it from the rest Of its kind and discuss
its treatment as though it could he man
aged in tho abstract is entirely impracti-
cal. The office of governor has aternated
for a good many years. If the governors

would undoubtedly have carried
away the honors. In speaking of
the game, the Marquette Mining
Journal says:
''The ball game at Calumet Thurs
day afternoon between the locals
and the husky Baraga aggregation
was battle royal from start to
finish, and not until the last man
was out, leaving the score 3 to 2 in
favor of Calumet, did the home fans
breathe easy. The match was one
of the best ever seen on the Calumet
grounds, and there have been many
games played there. 1t was much
of q pitchers battle, in which
Werner, the Calumet twirler, ex-
celled, and in which he was given a
trifle better support :than the visi.
tors gave Lewis. Werner struck
out ten men and permitted but one
hit; Lewis was touched up for five
hits and ended the game with {
record of six strike-outs. Calumet
made four errors and Baraga two.
