The cruciix which has caused such commotion
in the streets of Salisbury Conn, has been carried
into the politics of the place. Father Lynch, who
was responsible for putting the cruchx where 1t Is,
was a candidate for recollection as a member of the
school board and though another Democratic can
didate was placed IN the field against him, he was
reelected because the Democratic voters found
thew could not defeat HIM without making Re
publican majority III the school board.
The impeachment of the Norwegian Miuist ry, an"
nouncod In this mornings cable dispatches, is the
elimination of n curious constitutional contro-
versy. Twelve years ago the legislative body re-
ouested che attendance of Ministers during Para-
mentary debates, The King, suspecting that the
IDENTITIES wished to make the Ministers subservient

affirmed by three Pariaments in succession The
Constitution requires that the Royal Veto shall not
be operative If legislative measure be passed by
three consecutive ParlIaments In 1881 the Storth-

the Chief Justice and ten Judges of the Supreme
Court. The trouble Hes therefore, between the
Crown which srubborny clings to its prerogatiYes,

It's announced to long. suffering public that the
Senate subcommittee on Labor and Education
have listened to 100000 words of testimony
during the forty days they have been in session in
this city The Committee have reason to be proud
of their recepyity, which speaks wonders for their
patlence and their physical endurance. This

It's fortunate thing that the Mayor and the
officers of the Corporation at the home OF Shakes
pe,re are more sensible than the Vicar of the
church In which he was buried, The latter APP
proyed the proposition of one of tho lite-rustees
of Sbalespeare's birthplace TO eXhumc his remains,
INIT il WAS found that the consent of the Mayor
and Council was necessary. Both have now re-
fused it, and this lladVSed project of Antiquarian
zeal is defeated. Ii any man In the history OF The
race ever made it clear that he did not want to be
disturbed in the grave, that man was Shakespearoj
and certainly no was more entitled to have MS
wishes respected. THIS seems clear that 1t is
difficult TO understand how this proposition could
ever have been made and still more, how it could
have been received with any favor.

The fantastic absurdity of Mr.. Henry Georges
