THE Delegates to Chicago.

How They VIII Travel ON Their Excur-
sion.
The Connecticut delegates to the Republi-
can national conventions . Chicago, June
Sd, met in Hartford Tuesday evening to
arrange for transportation, decide upon their
route, time of starting, etc. After discussing
several routes, IL was decided to leave Hart
ford on Friday, May 80, at $40 a M, via
the Hartford and ecticut Western rail-
road, connecting at Rhinebeck with through
fast express over the Hudson River, New
York Central and Lake Shore railroads, ar
irving at Chicago on Saturday night, May
31st, at about o'clock. General 8. E. Mer-
win, jr., the Hon. Frederick Miles aud Mayor
Morgan G. Buckley were appointed a COM
mittee to arrange for transportation. It is
expected that two special sleeping cars will
be secured for the delegates, their altern ates,
and such outside friends as will accompany
the delegation. Starting at the time they do
the delegates will be but one night on sleep
ing cars.
T he Rogers Trade Mark Case
Point as to the Filing of Arguments.
Quite crowd of influential people heard
the arguments in the Rogers trade mark case
before the Supreme court at Hartford Tues
day. Senator Platt closed the case at noon,
occupying nearly two hours. At the begin
ming of the case before the court point was
raised as to the filing of an argument by Mr..
Franklin Chamberlain with the court this
gentleman having written out both his argu-
ment and brief, and he claimed the right to
file the argument The other sids-ex-Gov-
ernor IngersolI doing the talking-said that
if it was filed they should claim the right to
file an answer. independent of what they
might say orally in following their brief.
rather warm discussion ensued, and
finally Mr. Chamberlain Withdrew the
copies of his argument which had been dis
tributed to the court and counsel. Senator
Platt pending the discussion said that he hid
not prepared brief, and therefore asked
consent to have his argument stenographical-
Iy reported and filed with the court and this
was agreed to. 1t is common practice in
other States to file arguments before the
higher courts but it has not been customary
in the Supreme court of Connecticut. In
deed it is said that there are but two instan-
ces on record where this course has been al
lowed one was the filing of Benjamin r.
Curtis argument which occupied only half
an hour in delivery in the Colt will case,
and the other the fling of the Hon. VIM. M.
EvarC's in the Phi. lps will case.

The Morrison tariff bill was shOrn
of the feature most Objectionable to
us in its passage through the COM
mittee room. The clause which pro-
vided for placing iron ore on thefree
list was stricken out and does not
appear i'm the bill as presented to
the House. With that feature left
out we have no captious opposition
to express to the passage of the bill,
but we are free to say il is not
the kind of tariff reform that we
expected or desired. A horizontal
reduction seems to us to acknowl-
edge the correctness of the tariff
fixed by the Republican Congress in
its manner and detail, and to seek
only a reduction of rates. A more
carefully prepared bill, making
distinctions in the numerous articles
that compose the schedule, would
certainly have been more i'm accord
with that reform which thuse poll
ticians have cried for, who clamored
most loudly about the iniquities of
the tariff. For instance, the Hon.
Benton Mcmillan, of this State, was
greatly grieved because playing
cards are on the free list while bibles
have to pay a duty. Under the
Morrison bill those awful cards still
get in free and there is no greater
reduction on bibles than there is on
any ordinary article of commerce.
Lumber, salt and coal are to be
placed ON the free list, and with
those exceptions very few distinc-
tons are made in the proportionate
reduction of duties.
We repeat that we have no cap
tious opposition to make to the bill
In its present shape and shall abide
the issue of events without any fur
Their criticism of its merits. In our
opinion 1t is not likely to become a
law, and as a matter of party policy
we are afraid that it will only add
to that character for unwisdOm
which the Democratic party has
hitherto borne.

SOME sizeable straws that show
how the wind blows have recently
been observed in the political
breeze. One was in an election in
Kansas to supply Congressional
vacancy. The Democrats have pre-
viOusly carried the district by one
thousand majority, but in the late
election where the Democratic can
didate was put on a free trade plat
form and his Republican opponent
favorcG protection, the Republican
was elected by 5000 majority. Kan
sas is one of the Western States
where free trade was supposed to be
popular. Again, in New Jersey,
the other day, a resolution favoring
protection was introduced into the
State Senate which has a Democrat
ic majority and was carried without
a dissenting vote. One Democratic
member was absent and another
"gOt excused" The pyrotechnic
politicians who insist on pushing
the party to a declaration of free
trade principles are requested to
make a note of these little incidents.

THE feature of the Morrison tariff
bill which provides for placing
lumber on the free list may possibly
be attributed to the fact that the
Southern lumber interests are just
now coming prominently forward,
while the lumber resources of the
North are in a measure exhausted.
The average Northern congressman
be he Democrat or Republican, has
never been able to discover that 1t
was necessary to shut off foreign
competition with Southern indus
tries so those of the North are pro-
tected. The trouble is that the
average Southern Congressman
meekly follows the dictates of his
Northern brethren "because it is
the policy of the party" Ii the
policy of the party has ever availed
it anything, history don't record
the fact, and in the mean time the
the practical interests of the South
60 on being sighted and neglected.
OF course the North would prefer
getting its lumber from Canada to
sending "down South" for it, and
Southern Congressman say, "That
is all right. 1t will help us to elect
a Democratic President" To a man
up a big pine tree down about Pen
sacola. that looks like sacrificing
sense for sentiment.

THE most charitable construction
that can be placed on those dispatch
e. which MFR. Henry Watters0n has
been sending from Washington to
the Courier Journal Is that Wash
ington whiskey has very infiam-
atory effect and renders a man ire
sponsible for what he says. The
substance of these dispatches lies i'm
fiery declarations that Randall and
all others who don't agree with Mr..
Watterson on the tariff issue, are to
be sumnarily forced into the Re-
publican ranks. He doesn't state
when the Democratic party got so
strong that it can safely pursue such
a policy, nor does he produce his
warrant and authority for turning
out distinguished Democrats whose
abilities far outshine his, and whose
past services to the party dwarf his
into insignificance. If the whiskey
theory is not correct we are COM

A RdIIrodd TO EKtoH.

The people of Todd county, Ken
lucky, weary of being cut off from
communication with the outside
world, have determined to build a
railroad from Elkton to Guthrie.
Active measures have been taken
in behalf of the enterprise and con-
siderable sums of money subscribed
toward its advancement. We copy
the following from the Elkton Reg
lister of recent date:
At the railroad meeting at Guth-
rie Saturday 81, ZOO were subscribed,
this making about 10000 SUBJ
scribed. We understand $50, 900 is
the amount desired. 1t is reported
that Trenton will give 5000 If the
road is built to that point instead OF
Guthrie. If that be true it is worth
considering, for being about three
miles nearer an d equally as level
country to run the road through,
the difference in amount in favor
of Trenton must at least be $1,000
Now will the advantages at Guth-
rie of two roads counter balance
that?
Such a railroad would be of great
benefit to GAINESVILLE and the capt.
talists of this city would, no doubt,
be willing to aid in its constru elton.

The able Tennessee editors who
indulge in so much abuse and criti-
cism of the Federal judges for their
recent decision in the railroad COM
mission case, would oblige the pub
lie by stating what they expect to
gain by such kicking. Do they
wish to terrify the Supreme Court
into reversing the decision? Their
very learned dissenting opinions
were not called for and won't avail
anything. 1T was not necessary to
inform the public that they didn't
agree with the court, for that was
generally understood. There is no
way to go behind the decision of
the United States Supreme Court,
and good sense and good taste die
tates that the opinionsof that tribu-
nal should be awaited in silence.

MRS. AGNES r. MILES, wild
ow of Kansas, lays claim to $500, 600
worth of land in Cleburne and Van
Buren, counties, Ark, under title of
a Spanish grant dated June IL,

for some manageable gentleman
who don't mind being troubled

might find it profitable to investi-
gate the fair Agnes charms and the
validity of her claim to the land.

SENSATIONAL CANARDS.

The practice of publishing sensa-
tional canards in newspapers should
be put stop to. Il is bad enough
when such things are imposed on
paper by an unprincipled correspon-
dent, but when papers themselves,
wantonly give them circulation, it
becomes an act of unparalleled viii
lainy. That is, when the canards
are of a slanderous nature and cal
culated to damage communities and
individuals.
The Bowling Green Times re-.
Gently published a sensational arti-
Gle stating that Marshal Il. Polk
was not dead as reported, but had
been seen in San Antonio, Texas,
making his way to Mexico. The
thing was, of course, false from be-
ginning to end, and reflected in the
most outrageous manner on the ex-
Treasurer's family, his friends and
the physicians who certified to his
death. 1t was mean and contempt
ible, and as it bore evidence of
on its face, it should have
been left unnoticed, or alluded to
only in ii tone of condemnation. 1t
was very surprising, therefore, when
a Nashville daily reproduced it In
the most conspicuous place in the
paper with glaring headlines and
not the sign of credit. True, its
falsity was suggested in an editorial
on another page, but the
effect intended to be
produced was too apparent to admit
of any excuses. This digging a
dead man from his grave and har-
afresh the feelings of his
sOrely afflicted relatives was a
ghoulish and fiendish piece OF bus
mess. 1t cannot be justified.

We opposed the election of Gov.
Bate, and fought him and his plat
form until the election was over.
We then announced that he would
find in us no captious opposition to
his administration. We cheerfully
accord to him the fact that he has
made good governor in many re-
spects, and if the party sees proper
to nominate him upon a platform
that we can endorse, we will give
him our support. A portion of
the Press of the State has been try
ing to read the "Fussellites" out of
the party, while others, including
such papers as the Tribune amt Sun
have been begging that we be taken
back. We do not recognize the
right of any one to read US out of
the party; we are, and always have
been, a Democrat, and while we
may, as we did in 1882, at times
see proper to warn her against GER
