THE SUPREME COURT.

The Journal trusts the Supreme Court, or
will not feel "intimidated." Judging from
the tone of the Sentinel, these three Demo-
cratic judges have been thrown into an ague
because OF the Journal giving publicity to
the expectations of their party friends that
they will override the law and the facts and
common sense, in order to give few hungry
leeches possession Of the offices OF this
county The Sentinel and the Demo-
cratic contestants evidently rely entirely and
exclusively upon the partisan majority of
the Supreme bench, and it was this disgrace
full fact to which we called attention. If
these unprincipled people have this reliance,
and if they have any grounds for it, they
should be shrewd and discreet enough to
keep it quiet and not blab in advance on the
street corners of the dirty work they expect
the Supreme Court TO perform for them.
There is not respectable lawyer unbiased
by partisan prejudice, who will
say the Republican tickets at the
late election were illegal because
of the thickness of the paper upon which
they were printed. There is not respect
able lawyer who will say the Democratic
ballots were illegal because of the thinness
of the paper, or because they were narrower
than the law provides There is nothing in
either Republican or Democratic tickets to
indicate any attempt upon the part of the
one party or the other to gain unfair advan-
tage in the nature of the ballot prepared,
and when the Sentinel talks of the voting of
double ballots and pretends that such were
voted, it talks what it knows to be
false and absurd-an Impeachment Of the
honesty and efficiency of the Democratic
members of the various election boards-and
only so talks to bolster up an utterly impos-
sible and puerile contest. The election of
November last in this county, was one of
the most onestly-fought and fairly con-
Quoted, so far as the actual voting and count
ing were concerned, of any ever held and
this the Sentinel and the Democratic party
know full we'll. They had every advantage,
and after contest unparalleled in our polit-
ical history, a majority of the electors
of Marion county expressed their judgment
fayorably to the Republican candidates for
county offices. 1t is this verdict which is
sought to be set aside upon a paltry bubble
for dishonest purpose, and we again say the
partisan majority of the Supreme bench,
upon whom the tricksters and conspirators
so confidently and fondly rely, dare not
do what is asked and expected of them.
They cannot hold themselves and their
judicial character so low as the jobbers esti-
mate. Two, at least of the three have rec
objection of what the people thought when
an election was overthrow for presumed
personal and party consideration, and they
will not be likely to invoke for themselves
and their party like public Indignation
that met the constitutional amendment de-
cision, against which, however, it is but JUS
tice to say Judge Niblack delivered an able
and powerful dissenting opinion.

The Railroad committee introduced new feature into Connecticut railroad legislation yesterday by reporting to the House bill giving the board of railroad commissioners power to pass upon applications to build under the general railroad law. Under this bill whenever railroad company shall have made and filed it's articles of association, to- gether with the accompanying engineers re- port, as provided in article l, part g. chap ter 2, title 17 of the revised statutes, it shall within ten days thereafter apply to the board of railroad commissioners for hearing and determination of the question whether the railroad which such company proposes to construct is @ work of public convenience and necessity to the citizens of this State. Notice of the time and place of sech hearing shall be given in two or more newspapers, to be designated by the railroad commissioners, published in each county through or into which the proposed road is to pass, for two successive weeks prior to the hearing, which notice shall contain brief description of the general location of the proposed railroad. the names of the towns through which it is to pass, and the names of landowners whose land is to be crossed.
 The bill makes provision for the machinery of filing such application and governing such hearing, and gives power to carry appeals to the Superior court in the county wherein the principal office of the company is to be To- cated the court is to appoint a committee of three iudicious and disinterested citizens of the State to revise the doings and deci- sion of the commissioners, the decision of this committee to be final.
 The Railroad committee reported yester- day also in favor of granting the railroad commissioners power to order any railroad company to stop using for switching pur- poses tracks which cross public highway when such delay is detrimental to public con venience.

 Then she might be able to look upon New York and even San Francisco as a suburb But you have much to be proud of, he continued.

 Gods call has again been made to one of our body, and whilst we grieve over the loss which has fallen upon ourselves, in common with the parish of Christ church, we are comforted with the assurance that for him it was a call to go up higher in his Fathers house. For the example which Nicholas s. Hallenbeck has left behind him of long years of faithful duty to all the claims of life, and of unswerving service to the house of our God, we devotedly give thanks. We also pray that the bereaved may be enclosed in better than earthly sympathy. that God will lift up hls countenance upon them and give them peacs.

Mrs. Polly Vale

Entered into rest at New Haven, March 7kh, 1883, aged S2 years and months. She was born in WestieId, in the town of Middle town, August 18th, 1900. She was married November Sth, 1927, to Julius Yale, of Meri- den, and survived him sixteen years For more than sixty-three years she was faith full and earnest Christian, doing good as she had opportunity and manifesting the deepest interest in works of charity, and especially in the cause of missions Her interest in the work of moral reform in our large cities was attested by the fact that she was a sub scriber for more than forty consecutive years to the AdoOcGte and Fdnafly Guardian, and in the last weeks of her life even she was planning ways to aid the cause. A large cir ole of friends who have known her earnest Christian character and zeal, as well as her four children who survive her, will mourn for her as for a mother in Israel called away from usefulness on earth.
