Hartford Courant One of the last fields fer politics to enter should be that of education and one of the last classes of public servants to be reduced in pay should be the public school teachers. Their pay is at best too small. Were il larger, better teaching would be the re- suit. But in New York city the board oi education have just made 2 move which shows that neither of these propositions belongs tOltheir creed. They have actual ly reduced the pay of the teachers ten pel cent, and raised the pay of the janitors ei the school buildings ten per cent. at the same time. The janitors are political 'sworkers." They are 3 recognized pow. CT. Their pay is $1, 900 or 50 year while the teachers range from $4O0 to $500. Politics, therefore, scores clever triumph and mere teaching is set down lower than before. It is shabby performance.

GOVERNOR WALLER has nominated for bank commissioner to succeed s. Q. POr- ter Of Pennington, T. ". Williams of New London. Both tlle the outgoing and in coming commissioners are republicans, the practice being to have one of each party on the board. Also, Wm. Parsons of New Haven has been finally nominated for insurance commissioner. Williams will readily get confirmation in the senate, but Parsons prospects are not so good, as he will not get the support of all the dem- ocratic senators, and must look for many republican votes to insure confirmation.

AN earthquake shock was felt in New Hampshire on Sunday, and nearly com pleted the tour of the world. The first agitation in New Hampshire was felt at 3 p. m., rattling windows, crockery and ar ticles of furniture. The movement was from west to east, lasting five seconds. Ten minutes later another slight shock was felt. Previous to the time of the first shock it was perfectly calm, but in- simultaneously with the earthquake the air was set in rapid motion, continuing so during the afternoon. Bloomington, Ill. felt it 8. m. Monday, and it here knocked down stove pipes ana cracked windows. and closed with a heavy jarring report. It's effects were felt in Spain, and Hun gary, and other places, and it seems to have completed the circuit of the globe.

 NEBRASKA and Minnesota have each elected U. s. senators. z The latter does itself the discredit of failing to return Sen- ator Windom, who IS among the ablest and best men in the present senate. His successor is D. M. Sabin, who got S1 votes, sixty-one being necessary for choice, and 29 of his votes coming from democrats whoswere ready to help elect any repub- ican to defeat Windom. The latter's wane of popularity is largely due to local jeal- ousy. Senator Windom had sold his house in his own state, and built an ele- gant mansion in Washington in fact, seemed to have transferred his residence and interests entirely to that city, and naturally his constituents inquired why they should not have Minnesota man for Representative There was point to the question, and the local preiudices aroused lost Senator W. some republican votes that he had .very. much need of. His successor is of Windham County (Conn. ) percentage, and spent his earlier manhood in Conn. He comes of good stock, and already has made good record of his own. No choice is yet made in Michigan, and Senator Ferry's chance of reelection is waning.

ONE of the most pleasant results looked for in the establishment of experiment stations, agricultural colleges, farm schools, etc., is the elevation of farming as an occupation. Our New England peo- pie are daily growing less to look upon it as a grovelling, unremunerative oceupa- ton. It was all very we'll to preach about the nobility of toll, and the independence and integrity of the farming class, but go long as men were educated only for the professions, and farming regarded as fit pursuit of boys too dull to be 'store clerks,'' no wonder that young men looked wistful at the avenues leading away from farm life. Agriculture is profession that needs intelligent pursuit, and it is happy day for Connecticut when she recz ognizes this, land for her farming class when skilled and intelligent labor com mands the same premium upon the farm that it does in other marts. We hope that the state will always foster our Sterrs school and experiment. station, in the in- terests of the public veal, so largely de- pendent upon agriculture.

FIRE IN DAVENPORT

| About 1920 to-day flames were seer
issuing from the old Burrows 81 Pretty
man building on the levee, between
Perry and Brady streets. The alarm
was Immediately given, which the fire
department responded to. In a very
short space of time, smoke was seen is
| suing from every window in the building
The building where the fire originated
was occupied by NJ. G. Lee s. Son as a
broom factory and, and had about 1000
worth of material for brooms, it filling
most of the three floors. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from the stove
in the second story, or work room near
which large amount of broom corn was
stored. Owing to the combustible nature
of the material, the flames were soon
communicated to every part of the build
ing. The building was completely Quilted
entailing loss to Lee & Son Of
about 81, 500 above insurance, the
amount of insurance being So 600
The building was owned by John Bond,
T. B. Rhodes, of Savanna, Illinois, and
Richard Gray, of Pittsburg Penn, as also
the adjoining buildings
The building adjoining on the west was
occupied by the Davenport school furni-
ture company. Fire caught on the roof,
and there was also some fire in the fourth
floor, but as there was bat little property
there, the damage was mainly by water,
which however, is covered by Insurance
The building on the east WIS occupied
by the offices of the st. Louis and st,
Paul packet company 1t was slightly
injured by fire and its contents also suf-
fered some damage.
The block was ercted by Burrows &
Prettyman In the days of wild cat curren-
cy, about thirty-five years ago. At that
time they were the leading business men
Of the town, and they issued their own
money and erected these buildings with |

WEARY OF LIFE

The little town OF Savanna. about fifty
miles up the Chicago, Milwaukee s. st.
Paul road, had an unwonted sensation
yesterday Some time during the early
morning. the sharp report of pistol shot
disturbed the stiffness of the Sabbath air.
The Sabbath air only was disturbed to
any extent, as no sound reached human
ears. and no one knew until some hours
afterwards that another soul had gone to
solve the great problem
Between II and 10 o'clock the body of
a man was discovered lying near the Chi
cago, Milwaukee 81 St. Paul railroad about
quarter of "a mile south of town. He
Law on his face, with his feet nearly touch
ing the track, and his head lying down
the cmbankment Blood slowly issuing
from his mouth, and a revolver lying by his
side, at once told the astonished observers
that the poor fellow lying before them
was the victim of his own hand. Death
had evidently been instantaneous, as the
fore finger of the right hand was still bent
just as if ready to pull the trigger.
The body was left undisturbed until
the coroner could be summoned, though
the spot was soon crowded with curious
lockers on.
The body was found to be that of
man who had arrived on the / O'Clock
train on Saturday night. He was said to
have come from Montana. A gentleman
who had travelled with him from Chey-
cnne, was interviewed by an ARGUS re-
porter. He said that the dead man was
evidently out of his head, as he was con
tinually muttering to himself and was
very restless, wandering from seat to seat
and from car to car His actions on his
arrival were also very strange. He re-
manned around the depot an hour or two
and then disappeared. He was not seen
again until his dead body was discovered
he is described as being short, tolerably
well dressed man, with a black mustache,
and evidently German. His name is
unknown.
