STEPPING ON TOES.

In one of its most indulgent moods
and actuated, perhaps, by charitable in
stincts alone, the Burlington News takes
us gently by the hand and, leading us
out of the murk of the Burlington rail
road section into the effulgence of mid
die College street, thrusts us through
the wicket of brick building and into
the Presence. There, quoth our kind
contemporary, "you win find the man
behind some thrones, the man you want
to see, Hon. Charles p Smith, and
adds some other things Tor our enlight-
eminent. All of which follows the state.

Central Vermont railroad, resulting in
some lavish promises being made to the
Queen city. We had no idea that we
were stepping ON anyones toes, not the
Smith toes, when we gave this modest
recognition to one of Burlington's ener-
getic boomers and president Of the Bur-
lington Commercial club, not to forget
also editorial writer on the sunrise con

seems that we did step on somebody's
toes and come down rather hard, too,
Judging by the noise. For which we
have no apologies to extend.
At the same time we wish to give due
credit also TO that person whom the
sunset contemporary 80 BADLY sets for
ward; we knew Charles p. Smith to be
one of the most influential men Of Bur.
nngton, but not Of that type to seize
every vestige Of credit for what Bur
Rngton hopes to get. Nor do we now
think that Mr.. Smith is so greedy Of
honor as the sunset contemporary would
make him out,
