 In our issue of Saturday we asked anyone to give us good reason why party and poli- tics should have anything to do with city and town affairs. The Register undertakes the task. It says ttthe chief reason Is that s policy which has virtue only in small things and none in great things is impracticable be. caussi 1t is inconsistent We are glad to know that this is the 'schief reason," for otherwise we might have thought there was good reason. The Register does not want to support good men without respect to par. ty for local offices because it fears it will be inconsistent. We assure the Register that such inconsistency will not be regarded as a fault. Even though it be partisan In the great things" 1t need not be seriously alarm ed if 1t bs non-partisan in small matters. For instanceit need not feel obliged, because date for president in the next campaign, to support nominees for representatives whom it's judgment does not approve, and we see by it's issue of Saturday last that it does not. We certainly shall be the last to accuse it of any inconsistency in. withholding it's support from these nonrins6ons. Conaisten- cy does not reqaiEe anyone to be partisan where partisanship is oRt of place. A presi dent is and always will be elected, not merely because of his fitness for the office, but because he represents 8 certain policy or certain principles which the majority wish to see carried out. The same is true of g cen gressman,-mere fitness is nod enough. His constituents want to know what measures he proposes to Euppors. But an assessor Is not elected to carry Out party principles but to value real estate. Nov unless there is 6 Democratic method of valuing real es- tate there is no sense in choosing an assessor because he is Democrat And there is just as little senss in srguing Shat be- cause there must be party tickets for offices tbat are essentially political consistency re- quires party ticket for offices that have 10 political character whatever So far as State offices are concerned there may be policy that the veters wish to see carried oet in tho administration of State affairs, so that some- thing more may be justly required of the can didatss for such offices than simpIy fitness We have already said in a former article that we see no reason which requires thas a man should be chosen governor because he enter tsins certain views upon national questions. But we think the tendency is towards dis regard Of national politics in State elections. Parties there may bo on State questions, e7sn on municipal questions; the faIiacy, the real inconsistency, lies in dividing in local elections on national questions which do not actually concern them. When the people are ready to drop politics in State affairs ws shall be with them most heartily.
 The truth is there are party tickets for local offices, not bOoauss consistency requires it, but because offices are thus ussd by the bosses to reward the worksra

Old Dutch Corporations. rFrorn the Contemoorary Review.


 Everything was managed in Amsterdam by corporations. The idea of the sacredness of corporate rights and privileges was firmly planted in the Dutch mind. These numerous bodies were virtually self-elected. An oli- 1 earchy ruled in each department. The char actsr Of their government is seen in ths way l the East India company managed their pos 1 sessions in the Eastern Archipelago. To se- cure the monopoly of the sptce trade they caused all the clovs trees to be extirpated, 1 except in Anboyna, the seat of their power, l bribing the surrounding princes to enter into league with them to destroy their subjects ] property. At one time they gained the ex I elusive command of the pepper trade Pep | per was immediately raised to 8s. pound, ! loo per cent higher than the Portuguese prices. It is supposed that they made profit | of 3, 500 per cent. on this article alone Eng lish settlers did not scruple to declare that ln ] 1929 the Dutch authorities at Amboyna, in their terror lest foreign intrigue should oust I them out of the nest they were robbing, practiced tortures worthy of Philip II. and | Ava To-prevent any criticism from the l jealousy of the other Dutch ports, the East India company distributed their stock among the principal towns of the united provinces, ! in each of which was handsomely paid board of directors, possessing share of the natronage proportioned to the stock they | held. Amsterdam kept the supreme direction, l for out of these subordinate chambers 8 board of seventeen directors was chosen, who met for six years at Amsterdam and two at l Middleburg. Thus ali the leading capitalists | in Holland were directly concerned in the comuany's affairs Instead of enriching their own country and the Asiatic world, by open- ino up g great Oriental trade, the Dutch East India company thought only of getting the highest possible prices by the exclusion of all competition Their immense warehouses at Amsterdam, their imposing name, and the mystery ever attached to the East, led to an exaggerated idea of their importance. They worked trade that could easily have em- uloyed several millions with 8 capital of
 e542, GOO. In their most prosperous days,
 from I614-173O, the number of their ships
 arriving from India in the course of the year
 did not average more than fourteen. This
 style of doing trade explains tho excessively heavy dues that the Amsterdam authorities 1 imposed on every article of traffic. It is ss- l serted that many things paid duty three or four times over. Bread wss taxed when the corn came from the mill, and again when the Ioaves came from the oven. There were taxes on butter, fish and fruit, while the du. ties levied on meat, salt, beer, wine and spir. 1 it's was as high as 100 per cent. Rents paid l a tax of 25 per cent. in fact, there was
 scarcely anything that escaped taxation ex. | cept that which depleted the country of It's capital-the speculations of it's merchants in the public funds of other nations. For, ow- 1 ing to the accumulationsof capital and the ] xsy taxasien ate up proats, the Amsterdam

charged with stealing her fathers vest, val
 aed at eight shillings. The girl pleaded
 guilty of pawning the article, but said she did not steal it, as her father knew she was
 in the habit of pawning things on Saturdays.
 This was not denied, but the prosecutor said
 he had warned his daughter against pawning I his waistcoat, and, as she did not heed his
 nonitions, he thought he would stop her, and brought this as ''test case" The bench
 appears to have sympathized with the man, ] and fined the girl ten shiilings; but, when
 she could not pay. the fathers heart melted and he paid the fine, which was two shiliings ! more than the vest was worth.
 l The lighthouse board has just received two
 Illuminating buoys from England. They the shoals of Cape Lookout and at the point of the Diamond shoals, Cape Hatteras. These
 buoys are supplied with condensed fat gas 1 enough to supply the light four months day and night, without attention. They can be seen at the distance of ten miles and are de- signed to mark shoals where lighthouses are impossible and iehtships too expensive CT exposed to too great damages. One kind has been fully tested and proved satisfac- tory and another patent is now being expert
 mentsd with of Sandy Hook ightship. They cost S, ,Ooo each. The board is satisfied that these lights will prove very important in marking dangerous shoals, and will ask Con- gress for further appropriation with which to purchase still more. They can be reflled with gas from a boat in a fair day, and cost only about seven dollars month.
 One reason why Republicans and Demo- crats, too, should take interest in the election tomorrow is thus set forth by correspond ent of the Hartford Courant A vote for Republican candidate for the State senate is vote to re-elect Mir. Platt; for it is not to be expected that any other Republican will pre- sume to succeed So popular and so useful man. vote for Democratic candidate for
 the State senate is, of course, vote against
 the re- election Of Mr.PIstt. But, aside from party politics. the reelection of Mir. Platt is very important to Connecticut interests; be-
 cause he is chairman of the committee on
 patents; and because he will remain so as
 long as he remains in the senate, unless the
 Republicans in that body should fall into 8
 minority; and because Connecticut interests are largely based on patents; and because
 patents and patent rights axe every year in grave danger in Congress; and because that chairmanship is the key to all legislation on the subject; and because the custom of the senate is such that should Senator Piatt fail of reelection the chairmanship would cer- t&inly go to some other State. AS far as pa tent interests are concerned that chairman ship is worth more than ten seats in She sen ate without it. The tariff laws and the p8- tent laws are those which among federal stat utes are of prime importance to Connecticut interests. No one can serve our State better than Senator. .Platt on the subject of the tariff, and on ths subject of patents no one can do us ons-tsnsh of the good that his position en- abIes him to accomplish.

merchants put the greater part of their sur- Slus capital into foreign stocks. In fact, the difficulty of finding an advantageous return for money in Holland was so great that It's capitalists preferred to lent vast sums of money to individuals in foreign countries, both regularly as loans at interest and in the shape of goods advanced at long credit.

Foreign journals report an arrangement for prod acing brilliant light by the combination of gHs and electricity. It consists of an or dinary gas flame through which passes q curved metallic rod, provided with means for eonntersctiDg the effects of cverheating un. der the action of the electric current. 4 cool bright, white light is produced of far better qualit than gas alone. The report states that the platinum does not require . great intensity of current to make 1t supply en ordinary light with oDe or two small ele- ments. Tine cost is said to be third less than that of the gas supplied by the gas com psnies.

the barometer marked 1925, and the
thermometer thirty-sovcn degrees below

storm arose, which for time threatened
the complete destruction of everything on
the peak. All of the instruments used for
ascertaining the velocity of the wind were
blown to pieces, after registering ninety
six miles per hour Officer Boynton esti-
mates that the wind reached velocity of
1870 miles per hour. All of tho frewood
and everything else loose outside of the
building WAS hurled into the Sra,or,
and Officer Eoynton and his assistant
waited in momeniary fear of being blown
over with the building into the vortex.

THE NAVAL BILL.

The naval appropriation bill, as passed
by the house last week, provides that the
title and grade of midshipmen be changed
to those of ensign present midshipmen
and masters to constitute the junior grade
of ieutenants. No more original appoint
ments are to be made from those remaining
therein until such grades shall have been
numerically reduced below the number fixed
by the act of August, 1882. The grade OF
commodore is abolished, but the present
officers of that title will not be disturbed.
Promotions to rear admiral will be made
from commodores and captains. The pres
ident is authorized to appoint a board of
officers to ascertain and report to congress
which navy yard OF arsenal is best adapted
for the erection of a foundry for the man
ufacture of army and navy ordnance. The
bill also provides that no part of the sum
appropriated for bureau construction and
repairs shall be applied to tine repair of
any wooden ship when the estimated cost
of such repairs shall exceed thirty per
cent. of the estimated cost of the new ship
The iron-clads now being constructed are
TO be finished by the lowest bidder, after
proposals for the construction of two steam
stesl vessels OF 1900 and $500 tons dis
placement shall have been published sixty
days in five leading papers of the United
States. The appointment of naval cadets
is to be made by the academic board of the
naval academy, in order of merit, after a
six-years' course. No officer of the navy
shall hereafter be employed on shore, un-
less the secretary OF the navy shall deem
such employment required by the public
interest. The remainder of the bill is de-
voted to the purchase OF supplies, and holds
officers to strictest accountability in such
purchases, making any violation of the
law in this particular punishable by dis
missal, imprisonment or fine.

patrons and friends of the school were pres
ent, and expressed satisfaction with the
progress made by the pupils The district
Is small, and hence, for want of funds, can
never have more than from four to six

are quite young and for the advantages
they have, show a remarkable degree OF
advancement The following branches OF
study were pursued Reading, writing
spelling, arithmetic, geography, English

Although doing well in all branches
some deserve especial communication foT
their progress in reading, which would give

rArRoNIzE HOME INDUSTRY

During ihe latter part of last week east
ern parties came to Pueblo, and solicited
the county printing. They endeavored to
obtain il in an underhand manner, and
very nearly succeeded in capturing enough
to last the county two years, without Civ
ing local offices m opportunity Of bidding
or in any manner competing with them.
The Pueblo Typographical union promptly
took the matter up, and appealed to the
county authorities TO encourage honest la
boz in patronizing establishments in the
Puchlos, by giving them the county print
ing. This thing of sending abroad for all
kinds of work, which can he done at home
in rs good and workmanlikc manner rs
anywhere, indulged in too much by many
officials and business men in the west, is an
outrage that calls for severest condemns-
ton. Men who come here, and, in the face
of opposing circumstances, endeayor to es-
tablish readable newspapers, good job
offices, etc, deserve every patronage that
instead Of so doing, sends all the work he
controls abroad, deserves removal and the
business firm that patronizes eastern offices
with its job work should be left severely
alone by all local consumers, and thus
driven back to the vicinity of the tender
foot establishments it so much adnires
Encourage your local institutions, and thus
put them on footing TO compete, in both
style and prices, with any other establish
mcnts in the United States.
