making has been and is 8 curse to any party
 that permits it. The parties first formed un-
 der the Constitution were broken up by this | agency. practice grew up of having presi | dential candidates selected by the Congres- | sional caucuses. The practice was not in-
 stituted or desired by the people the power
 was usurped by the men sent to make laws.
 They had been denied in the Constitution the
 power to choose the President; they were
 disabled from sitting in the Elec-
 toral Colleges and yet they stole the power to name the men for whom the people
 might .vote. It finally became SO palpable | that the object was to tie the hands of the | executive by making him subservient to those who had made him, that the people revolted | and gave their support to independent candi-
 dates. The last caucus candidate of the old Republican party came out last in the race-
 with just enough votes to show that he had been candidate. Then the convention was instituted, the intention being to give the people 8 chance to name their favorite with out the intervention of Congressional eau cuses. For while 1t was held almost dis reputable for a member of Congress to be member of one of these peoples conven- tions. Now it has come to pass that ongressmen-members of 8 co ordinate branch of the Government-intrigue to get into these conventions. and lay all manner of wires to control their membership and &C., ton. If this is to go on, it would be better on all accounts to go back to the caucus nom nation. It would be fairer than some fea- lures of the convention. Parties would be more fairly represented, for where they had elected no members there would be no votes to overset the wishes of the States that must furnish the winning votes. And it would be better to take the business wholly out of the hands of the people than to permit them to go through the forms of free choice only to be cheated by superior dexterity and packed delegations.
 Either Congressman should assume the whole business and take the whole responsi- bility, or they should stand back and permit the people to select the men they desire to vote for.

Presldene.MakIng.


 Originally the plan was for each state to se Ieot it's proportion of electors, supposed to be the representative men, who should meet and select President. When government by par. ty was fully established, these electors lost all power. They were expected only to report the votes cast for certain candidates These candidates were put in nomination usually by congressional party committees.
 The next step in the rule by party was to make the nominations in national party eau cuses, called conventions. In these party con yentions the nominations were largely deter mined by "expediency." Not the best man was sought for, but the man who would run the best.
 Another change is now in process. The political leaders will no longer trust the free action of the party convention; they must 'tfx" everything beforehand. The nomina- tions are becoming the prizes of those who have the most money or the most skill in securing delegations. MT. Tilden fully illus trated the new tactics at St. Louis in 1876. In opposition to the best part of his party, captured the nomination by his individual labor.
 As affairs are now conducted in the hands of 8 very few politicians, how much freedom of choice is to be left at the coming conven- ions in Chicago and Cincinnati? Are the nomlnRtlons 10 De g0t, not Dy Lne Dest men, nor yet by those who will runssbest, but by those who most wish them and have most skill in capturing them This is vital question for the people of the United States to consider. As to voting they are shut up to choice be- tween two men. If they have no real voice in saying who those two men shall be, what does our representative Government represent 1? Anything more than two or three little politi- cal oligarchies?
 Pennsylvania and New York seem to think not. We trust that Connecticut is of differ ent mind, and will send to the conventions delegations of able, high-minded men. free to act with wisdom and deliberation.

Newspaper Advertising Bureau

Advertisers who want to reach the people of a State must advertise i'm the
 best papers printed in the leading towns.
 There is 8 constant call upon us to
 make B selection for advertisers and to
 name favorable prices at which adver- tising may be secured. There is 8 wide difference between the prices demanded by newspapers for an adverfisementt to be inserted a month and one which is Co appear for . year. Experienced and successful advertisers contract for the longest period; but
 there are many who are prevented from doing this by the nature of their
 advertisement, OF because the adver- tisement is one which they wish to try
 experimentaIly before making cons tracts for any extended time. Rearing in mind the wants of adver-
 tisers we have agreements with Iead- ing local papers i'm every State by which we insert advertisements for . single
 month at prices apprOximating the yearly rate.
 So great is the reduction from regular monthly ratess that advertisers do not
 understand how the advertising can be
 secured for the price which we name. Fer instance: in the State of Connectf- cut, a list of IS selected Daily and Weekly papers. which would cost $65.1s if contracted with simgIy, we are able to offer for s26s We secure a paper at the State capital, one i'm each town having as much as 5000 population. and at the court house tieSs

The Governor of Canada has now under consideration proposal emanating from Sir John Glover, Governor of Newfoundland, for making St. Johns the summer port for the whole dominion. The idea is to connect St. Johns with the mainland by railway across the island and line of ferry steamers across the Straits of Belleisle, whence 8 line would form junction with the Inter colonial By this means two or three days could be saved by ves- sels and what Sir John most desires accom- plished, viz the opening of Newfoundland to a prosperous trade and commerce.
 The reply of Commissioner Raum to the resolution of Representative Speer asking why armed men are employed in certain parts of the South is expected soon, and will contain all the information needed on that subject. It will set forth from official reports the extent and nature of the disorders in all parts of the South where illicit distilling is carried on, and the extent, strength and desperation of the combination of citizens formed in many sec- tions to protect this industry. It will give 8 full account of the murders of revenue off cers and of organized resistance, and will show in the dearest light that the revenue cannot be collected in many sections of the South without an armed force.
 We agree with the Hartford Post and the Register of this city that it is disgrace to Connecticut justice that Hamlin, convicted of the murder of Wells Shipman, is alive to-day. That Allen stands in the position he does is a still greater disgrace to Connecticut justice They should both have been hung long ago. It is not 'fsafe and fair" for the Legislature to postpone the execution of Hamlin for year. Nor is it fair for the next jury that hears Aliens case to postpone his hanging more than the year allowed by law. The fact that these murderers are still alive does not add to the safety of our prison officials, and if either or both of them escape hanging the tempta- tion of convicts to follow their dreadful exam pie will be greatly increased.
 In the opinion of the Washington Star, which has pretty accurate knowledge of Con- gressional matters, ''it is not unlikely that the Committee on Ways and Means will agree to measure for the reduction or repeal of the duties imposed on articles used in the manu- facture of paper. One or two of the mem- bers who voted against other proposed tariff changes have expressed themselves in favor of bill for this purpose. The tariff reformers cannot accomplish anything except through the committee. The House is so evenly di- vided that it would be waste of time to bring any tariff measure before it, except up- on favorable report from Q committee, so that majority vote could pass it. Therefore
  sleep until next session.
