DOCTRINE OF THE NEW VERMONT.

Friday Evening.

Friday Evening.
vermont has been long enough the
nursery of the country; 1t Is time for
It to set up housekeeping for ITSELF"
said Col. Frank L. Greene of st. Adams,
before the Vermont Association OF Bos-
ton at the Westminster in Boston Fri
day night when 1875 or more natives Of
the state were present
Col. Greene's subject was 1.-THE Capture
of Ticonderoga," the day being the ami
yersary OF Ethan Aliens historic ex-
ploit. The final half of the address dealt
with the accomplishments OF the Green
Mountain boys.
'In this country there are 100000 per-
sons Of Vermont birth, but only 241, 900
OF them live in Vermont over 40 per
cent. of those born in the state are not
now living there, and that does not help
the state.
vermont was a great state before the
war, but during the 70s and SOS its men
fell to talking of the glories OF the past
and did nothing for themselves. And
they were glories too, but the state de-
clined then because Of thinking Of them"
Continuing, Col. Greene used statistics
to show that the state was well up in
manufactures and was not primarily an
| agricultural state. He said that $4,000, 600
was Invested in agriculture, as against
| SCI 900 900 in manufacturing, and that in
| the immediate past the state has made
a more rapid advance in manufacturing
| than any other New England state.
'aThe wealthy farmers are moving into
town after selling their FARMS" he said,
"and are beginning to educate their

The Wilson Clement Islander case has
not reached its finish. A motion to have
the recent verdict OF the jury set aside
has been made by the attorneys for the
defendant in the United States courts.
This motion is based on two grounds and
lie worded as follows:
1-For that said verdict is against the
evidence.
2-For that there is no evidence in
said cause to warrant the findings by the
jury that the defendant Is guilty and
therefore said verdict is contrary to law.
Therefore the said defendant moves that
the same be set aside and a new trial
granted.
By recent verdict in the United States
circuit court Wilson was awarded $1,000

THE .KNOCKER. y

The ssknocker' is the hyena of
mankind. Like thief in the night,
he goes about seeking to whom he
can do injury without making him
self known as the informer- He
has the mischief of the fox, is as
subtle as SNAKE and despised as
plague. He is worse than a Judas,
more to be Stunned than a traitor,
:4ad hated as the most accurSed
enemy in human form. He often
is given a position in the association
to which he belongs, often at a
questionable election, but as soon
as he is installed he assumes author
ity not within the province of the
constitution and bylaws, and per-
secutes his rivals and more manly
constituents in every conceivable
manner SO unjustly and sneakingly
aus to show clearly his cowardly
heart and disgruntled character.
For followers the "knocker" gener-
ally has a gang of "squealers and
do littles," and waits for a chance
to present itself to edo" some one
who, by honest works and acts, is
gaining tht goodwill Ct his constit-
uentS. The Hknocker' is not a
rare animal. but is barnacle, self
impressed, upon most communities.
If found out and disturbed from
one location he Immediately seeks
to attach himself to another. Be
ware of him, for his name is decer-
ton, villainy, ruin.

If you toot your tooter and then
lay aside your little horn, there's
not soul in 10 short days that
will know you are born. The man
who gathers pumpking is the man
who plows all day, and the man
who keeps it humping is the man
who makes it pay. The man who
advertises with a short and sudden
jerk is the man who blameS the
paper because it didn't work. The
man who gets the business has a
long and steady pull and keeps the
labor papers from year to year
quite full. He plans his advertise

and keeps forever at it until he
makes it pay. He has faith in all
