THE political cauldron begins to sim mer with increasing heat. There were elections in Ohio and West Virginia last week with rather surprising results. Ohio went democratic by thirty thou sand majority, ,electing fifteen democratic congressman out of twenty one, reversing the political complexion of the deliga- tion. Some of the republican papers attribute the result to the prohibition question, but others think that the Riv- CT and Harbor bill and the Jay Hubbell assessments have some thing to do with it. West Virginia went democratic as usual, but by reduced majority. The republicans gain 8 congressman, Gen. Golf, by large majority.
 The republicans of this congressional district name their candidate to-day at Bridgeport probably MT. Miles, the present incumbent. In the first district the democrats have nominated Senator Eaton against MT. Buck, and in the sec- ond, New Haven district, the democrats have put up Charles l.. Mitchell. His opponent has not yet been named. MT. Wait has been re-nominated in the third district and probably awaits the naming of his competitor with calm indifference although his vote in favor of the River and Harbor bill is creating good deal of political comment.

THERE are 7134 survivors of the war of 1912 on the pension rolls and A, 661 widows of survivors. This difference illustrates what The Republican recent ly commented upon,-the tremendous vitality of the pension roll. The fact is that old pensioners readily find much younger women to marry them and take care of them in their last years for the sake of becoming ''pensioner's widow and drawing pension for the rest of her life. Hence, the widows will long survive the warriors. An old pension official says the year 2OOO will not see the end of the pension list for the last war.-Sprina6eld Republican.

EDITORS and newspaper men are com ing to the front in politics Editor Candee of the Bridgeport Standard is on the Republican ticket for Lieutenant Governor. Thomas M. Waller, the Dem ocratic candidate for Governor, com menced life in New York as news boy. He was then 8 cabin boy on fishing smack which naturally brought him to that great naval station, New London, where he was adopted by a man by the name of Waller, educated, studied law and drifted into politics for which he has an aptitude and natural proclivity. He will be probably Secretary of the Navy yet. Lucien V. Pinney, the able editor of the Winsted Press, sometimes irrever- ently called wicked Pinney" by the envious and profane, is running for Con- gress in this district and will probably make it warm for Mr. Miles. If there were more offices to go around there would probably be more editors running, but as the supply is short they are com pelled to plod along in the old ruts and to wait for something to turn up.

HENRY WARD BEEcHER has at length formally withdrawn from Congregation al fellowship, on the ground, apparently, that he does not regard it as honest to stay any longer where he is not much wanted. At the meeting of the New York and Brooklyn association of Con- gregational churches at New York, recently, he announced his withdrawal from membership in the association, giving as a reason that, as Christian gentleman, he could not afford to lay on any body the responsibility of his views. He was not willing to put the associa- tion in position that 1t would be oblig- ed to defend him. He declared that he was still warmly in sympathy with his brethren, but he preferred to assume the entire responsibility for his views. In stating what his peculiar views were, he said that he rejected all barbaric ideas of God and the doctrine of man s physical and moral inability to obey the laws of God. He believed in future pun ishment, meaning by it not a bodily but a mental suffering, according to the laws of moral sensibility and all the affections. The doctrine of original sin he regarded as barbaric and not to be found in the Bible. He believed in the Trinity without analysis, in an overrul, ing providence, and fully, enthusiast cally, without break or single line ot tremulous alteration, in the divinity oi Christ" It will be difficult for some people to reconcile this statement with impressions received from some utter ances of MT. Beecher. Perhaps aftel all Mir. Beecher's heterodoxy is not as
 black as it has been painted.

 Stone in the Bladderis 6 very dangerous aiI- ment; but many most remarkable cures have of late been wrought by "Kennedys Favorite Reme- dy"-the invention of Dr. Kennedy of Rom dout, N. Y. Another striking case is now added to the list. MT.

Towards the end of last January MT. Lawler called on Dr. Ken nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone." He decided that MT. Lawler should first try the "Favorite Remedy" so as, if possible to avoid an s'Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home I passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now.
