Speaking of the controversy between the President and the Senate, the correspondent of the Springfield Republican remarks;
 One of the meanest things know of in con- nection w,th this subject is fact that many of the republicans in Con ,ress who have been so severe m their criticisms of the president and have so steadily voted against some of his nona- nations have been almost offensive in their impoFtunities for office for their friends. This is not true of Mir. Conkling, for he has great deal of personal dignity, and he will not ask favors of president he is quarreling with. Mir. Blaine is not so nice for he freely critici- ses and as freely asks for appointments to office for his numerous friends All the criti- cising senators are free to ask places for their friends, and many of them are successful

 One of the most important doings of the past week has been the indictment of fthe sx-officers the of Charter Oak Life Insurance O., of Hart ford. for a conspiracy. With the history of this conspiracy the public has become some what familiar. It's assets have been rifled by two sets of swindlers whose robberies have left it wreck which it is doubtful whether even the shrewd honesty of the present manage ment, with Marshall Jewell at it's head. will be able to save. The indictment by grand jury, except in capital cases, has not been common here in Connecticut Nevertheless our grand Juries have all the old common law powers, and may indict for any offense of which our Superior Courts have cognzance.
 Acting under instructions from Judge Gull yer the Hartford grand jury last week indicted James C. Walkley of Haddam. formerly pres ldent of the company: Samuel H. White of Hartford, formerly vice-president and treas urer E. R. Wiggin, now of Boston, the suc cessor of Mr. Walkley; and Henry J, .Furber of New York, financial manager, for conspira- cy, The accused have all appeared and given bonds in $5,00O, each. for their appearance before the Superior court for trial at it's March term. There is little doubt of their guilt and their punishment would be wholesome warn ing to insurance swIndlers and insurance wreckcrs, of the risk of such proceedings.

AMERICAN INVENTIVE GENUS, conspicuous for years past, was never more fertile than at present True, no decided triumphs like our reapers, sewing machine, telegraphs and du- plex telegraphs occur every year,-but in the general line of useful invention the United States lead the world With higher wages for labor, our improved machinery now enahleS us to compete successfully in all the princlpal markets of the world in the sale of many o1 our manufactured goods. England even buys largely of domestics: our agricultural imple- ments harrow up the soil of the whole world; the melody of the American organs and plan os is heard wherever civilization has eXtend- ed; our grain, our beef, our canned goods, feed untold myriads in Europe and elsewhere. The bulk of this great success, for a nation but century old, is due to the inventive ca pacity of it's people in planning machinery to produce, methods to preserve, and means TOT safe transportation long distances.
