morning she wore dresses Of Bingham,
plainly but pTettily made, many Of them
having what is called the Dutch neck,
filled in with a little guimpe Of white
tucked muslin or something OF that ma
ture. and when in the kitchen, or about
her household duties. she wore over
this a great big apron Of dark-colored
ginghara which completely covered her
dress
This apron had long, loose sleeves,
gathered into a cuff, two capacious
pockets. and was fastened at the back
with two or three buttons. When any
stranger. came. mnady dotted her apron
IN the twinkling Of an eye and was per-
fectly presenable to meet whoever came
her way.

Away With It!

We trust the next legislature will in
some way forge key to unlock the
problem of unjust taxation. Where all
admit the injustice of the system there
can he no danger in trial of some
other way. 1t is possible that more
than one way will need to be tried before
the best remedy is found. But the evil
has continued long enough, and some
way should be found to relieve men from
bearing more than their just burdens of
supporting the government. We hope
they will not be afraid to attempt some
thing by actual legislation.

Matching out time of candidates.
County politics has not struck very
lively attitude yet. Things are pretty
quiet as to state would hes and may
be's, and this county seems to be follow
ing suit. No new developments as TO
designers upon chair in the senate
chamber. Judge lIolbrook in his ever
modest way has expressed to friend
his position in the matter. He is not a
seeking politician, but if the party want
him he will gratefully recognize the call
to duty. lie expresses appreciation for
what honor has come to him IN the
past, and as an upright republican he
can heartily give his support to any
ticket the party can honorably put into
the field. We presume these thoughts
are also uppermost in the minds of tn,

Will Fill the Bill.

Much is being said about the fitness
of Mr.. C.. H. Stearns for lieutenant
governor, and no one for a moment calls
in question the truth of the claims. He
is well and favorably known all over the
state as a man of affairs, a high minded
business man and loyal to tile highest
interests of his town, county and the
state. AS legislator his course has
been meritorious, and he is every way
worthy to succeed in the line of those
who have in the past filed this import
ant position.

Speak UP NJ an.

The trend of opinion as expressed by
the press is seemingly waiting for some
word from Mr.. DeBoer. He simply re-
marks that he has spoken, and zealousIy
attends TO his business as head Of a
great institution. Many incline to serve
draft papers. In this case he could not
furnish a substitute and balance the
account, although he could say 81 will
not CO." The several honorable gentle
men mentioned, whose friends will
heartily support them in the test, are
each living illustration of upright YER
mont citizenship, and they are of guber-
material size in view of the past history
of our state or any other state. The
state would honor itself in the election
of either of them. We refer to Messrs.
Stanton, Bell, Martin and DeBoer. But
we are inclined to the idea that Mr..
DeBoer ought to say without doubt of
his meaning that he cannot permit his
name to go before the convention, OF
that he is a candidate and would be
pleased to receive the nomination. We
can see no credit to man 20 repeatedly
say no, no, when in fact he is hopeful
and expectant. 1t never belittles a mar
of the high character of Mr.. DeBoer to
say to the people, 81 am willing to serve
you if you wish should esteem it al
honor to be called by you"

Heated Atmosphere.


The season is approaching when the
festive candidate will go about to spiel
and spout and harrow up the state;
will agitate the atmosphere with fierce
linguistic storm by churning it and
burning it with rhetoric that is warm;
will fay the opposition with fervor
most intense, lambasting it and pasting
it with massive eloquence; will hold
its faults and failings up in terrible
array and give himself full latitude
with platform and with platitude in
telling of his attitude on questions of
the day.
The spellbinders and orators will
soon begin to prime with campaign
stuff on which to bluff and make their
stunts sublime; will load with ammu-
milton not SO deadly as it's loud, with
matter that will scatter wide enough
to hit the crowd, and afterward upon
the stump they will the welkin pierce;
will heat the air and beat the air with
gestures that are fierce; will agitate the
people in the good old fashioned way,
and to their full capacity of logic and
loquacity will show their perspicacity
on questions of the day.
Political committees will appear upon
the scene, directing the collecting that
will start up the machine; the speeches
from the records will be scattered far
and wide, the heelers and the spielers
will get busy on the side, professions
will be organized and clubs will be en-

reiterated that he does not wish TO be a

not commensurate with the personal
sacrifice which it would entail to him.
