The Old, Old Story.

When will people learn to buy goods of
reliable merchants and let the unknown
peddlars alone? Up in Lamoille county
the other day stranger secured samples
of silks from local dry goods store and
went from house to house selling silks at
great discount. 1t is not remarkable
that he secured orders and cash in ad-
vance, for such schemes always work.
1t is possible that the people who lost
their money may have learned lesson,
but nobody else will profit by their ex-
perience. The next oily tongued gentle
man, who comes along selling five dollar
gold pieces at half price. payment in ad-
vance, will realize on his undertaking.
Patronize reliable merchants, however,
will always be good advice and worth
lots to those who follow it.-Northfield

Town Meetjnun

Town meeting is the ideal of popular
self government, according to some wise
Isaac who ought to know better. True,
the corruption and debauchery of the
larger elections are generally wanting,
but of all the forcing-plants for the in
cubation of ambitious politicians, town
meeting leads by several lengths. Its
little rings, coteries, cliques and gangs
can not trade states attorneyships, pro-
bate judgeships, secretaryships or any
of the plums that go to pay the faithful
in state politics, but, on a smaller scale,
the trading is fully as brisk in town
meeting. Road commissioners are traded
for auditors, selectmen are snapped for
listers, a moderator brings several trus-
tees, while commerce in school director
ships languishes, as it is thankless task
and labor of love for the elect. Yes,
town meeting is where the party leaders
are Matched, where the grouty boilers
come to life and the light-hearted traffic
in offices certainly doesn't lead to the
highest ideal in state and national poll
tics. But the Australian ballot and the
occasional Clement will pretty we'll pre-
vent the frequency of 100000 cam
paigns.
Town meeting is the annual Judgment
day for the crafty office-holder whose
appropriations and expenditures don't
bear proper proportion.-H. l.. Hindley
in BrattleborO Reformer.

No CLASS IN OFFICE.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican dwels upon the qualifica-

cording to this writer, he has something

three years, and has been broad reader
ever since. He has also been prolific
contributor to farm periodicals, and has
stood for the farmers interests always
and anywhere. Concerning this the
Telegram has no personal knowledge
MIR. Higbee may be all of this and more,
and may possess every qualification for
the position, as far as we know. But we
object to the booming of any man for
any position for the reason that he re-
presents any particular class or is
engaged in any particular occupation.

should represent the whole state, and
all of its interests, not those of one par
ticular class or occupation.-Bar Tele-

The revulslon of sentiment on the
saloon question in Burlington was not
sufficient to swing the city into the mo"
column this year, but the drop from
1860 to S45 majority for license in this
city was pronounced being a gain of
9l5 as compared with the result last year,
and by another year public sentiment
may be ready to abolish the saloon even
in Burlington. In the meantime it is
significant that some of the liquor deal
ers here are looking about for soft
place on which to fall. -Burlington Free

Facts VS. Alleged History.

Alleged history gets another Jolt. DIR.
Gardner Cox of Holyoke, Mass, writes
the Randolph Herald that he thinks it
would be mistake to produce the old
Constitution House at Windsor for the
st. Louis exposition. After carefully ex-
amining the records he doubts if there is
particle of evidence that, any legisla-
tive body ever sat in that building to do
any state business. The doctor further
says:
1.-The delegates to the Constitutional
convention were called to order and Or
gained in the meeting house, and as the
minutes state they adjourned, in the
course of time, to that hosiery, and pro-
badly they adjourned to it many times.
My experience in examining early town
records Is that the town meeting often
adjourned to the local tavern, not to do
business, but to get drink. In Barnard,
where was brought up, the town records
have it:-"Voted, that this meeting adj
joun to Esquire Chancey's tavern for IS
minutes" That was the limit allowed
for filling up with the spirit of the times.
1t is almost too bad to spoil good story,
or sacred tradition, but the Constitu-
tlonal convention, or any other session of
of the Legislature of Vermont never sat
in that old building to do any business
other than to invigorate their spiritual
constitution"
Thus another beautiful tradition is
shattered. "Twas ever thus from child
hoods happy hour. | never loved a
tree or flower but that it was the first to
droop and fade away"

BURLINGTON ELECTION.

The vote of yesterday shows very
plainly that one mans enemies-be they
newspaper or personal-who are also
another mans friends, can sometimes be
too active, too partisan, too prejudiced,
on either side to help the friend or to
injure the enemy. In fact, it shows
that when political martyrdom is forced
upon man by partisanship the people
are very likely to take up the cause of
the martyr and rebuke the partisans. -

HORSE NOTES.
News of General and Local Interest to
Horsemen.

Our readers are requested to send to "Grif-
fin," p o. Box 634, Middlebury, any news OF
deaths. sales. foaling, performances, etc, of
horses that are OF enough consequence to be
noted in this department, which will be main
tanned with view to making ii OF interest
both local and widespread.
A suggestion has been urged for start
ing light-harness races that the word be
given, as it is in running races, at short
distance above the actual line which
begins the mile of racing, or half-mile,
as the case may be; time to be taken, of
course, from the first horse that passes
under the wire at the judges stand.
The idea is not a new one, has been
agitated but never met with favor; vet
there are merits in it, and, once adopted,
it might very probably prove to be the
best way. Its object is to avoid tiresome
delays in scoring, and that is, surely,
most commendable one. For illustra-
ton, say that the man who gives the
word is on a small platform so yards up
the track from the wire. The drivers
are instructed to bring their horses down
at jog, or moderate gait, guiding left,
as it were, and not leading the pole
horse to any great extent, until after
the word has been given. Thus an even
start, at the distance named back of the
judges stand, where the real race would
begin, could be readily effected. The
slOwest beginners can get under way in
90 yards, but in that distance, and before
the watch clicked on the leader at the
wire many changes in relative positions,
if the field was large, might be made,
but those would be legitimate. Perhaps
a very rapid scorer might take the pole
away from the horse that drew it before
reaching the judges stand, but this can
occur Just as well under the present
system. Perhaps, again, it would be
well to forbid any horse from crossing
in front of another until after the tim
ing line was crossed. There is always
much to consider in such innovations;
yet all will agree that any departure
which will do away with tedious scoring
will be heartily welcomed by race
goers
