BANK COMMISSIONER HYATT, who was elected to the state senate last fall, has been compelled by Gov. Waller to resign his seat in the senate as condition of his reappointment to the commissionership his term expiring this year. The gover- nor is getting severely criticised by his party papers, as the two offices are not necessarily incompatible, and Senator Hyatt, who is a democrat, represents 8 district ordinarily republican. The se- verest of his critics is Editor Parsons, who claims to have made Waller governor (and hs probably did), and who has been want ing some office for 1t. The governor was willing to give MT. Parsons good place, in fact last winter nominated him to one, but the senate refused to confirm, and the certainty that it would again refuse is the reason, probably, why Parsons name was not sent in for the bank commissioner. ship. Nevertheless Parsons is mad that his name wasn't sent in, and now goes fol the governor for forcing democratic sen. ator to resign when next winter democrat. ic senators will be in great demand, and 3 republican member is more than likely to answer the roll call for the Norwalk dis. trict.

In the death OF little "May," the only
daughter of Mr.aud Mrs. W. A. Woodrow
of this town, more than the immediate
family feel saddened. She was one of
those quick, bright and ready children,
who are always sure to attract and inter
est you, and ON this account she found
her way into large circle, and attracted
more attention and was more generally
known and beloved than many OF her age.
She was possibly the pride and pet Of her
family and friends. Much more than
most children will she DO missed, and her
early death regretted by the community
around her. The deeply bereaved father
and mother have the sympathies and
prayers Of their many friends. "What l

even give q synopsis of the argument, as
the theories advanced were nearly the
same as OH former occasions. When the
argument was closed, motion was made
to continue the question at the next meet
ing, objection was made, but as motion
to the effect that the question be cOniinu-
ed until arguments closed, had been made
at a previous meeting, the question will
be continued on Monday night. 1t was
generally understood that it was to have
been disposed off at last meeting, and the
question of the new road law taken up.

flicted with this tariff question, This
subject can be discussed until this time
next year and then be no nearer the end.
1t is broad question and naturally in.
wolves considerable argument. There are
only about six gentlemen who talk on
this subject, and it is time 1t was done
with. We noticed the younger portion
of the members either showed lack of at
ton or slipped down stairs. We would
suggest, by all means, wind up the ques-
ton. This is terrible warning for de.
batting societies never take up the tariff
question. We have been informed that
neither Mr.. Homewood nor Mr.. Dean
will be present at the next meeting. We
must say the question has been very ably
handled by both sides, and those who
faithfully attended and had the patience
to listen, ought to know something about
the question.
