Messrs. Willard Z POlchOw are max
ing pressed brick for fronts that
rivals the celebrated st. Louis pressed
brick. The brick are well-made, very
firm, with smooth surface, and the
color is reached by a durable stain.
They are being used for fronts in three
or four business houses now in course
of erection, and bear a close resem-
blance to the st. Louis brick.-Man-
kate Review.
Now that Worthington is to have a
brick factory, it will probably not be
long till we shall also be turning out
pressed brick for fronts at $3.50 to $500
thousand. We shall want some for

All chances of avoiding war of passen- ger rates between the great trunk lines are apparently gone, although no open break between them has yet occurred. Several lines to St. Louis allow commissions to ticket brokers, and when this point is reached cutting in every direction is apt to follow. Meanwhile the great west, which has been closely watching the situ- ation, is probably getting ready for its fall trip east. ,.

The asinine chief of police of Pittsburg

The asinine chief of police of Pittsburg has achieved notoriety by his contempti- ble action toward the Austrian consul res ident in that city He first prohibited the consul from exhibiting the Austrian flag at the consulate, and when the consul per sisted had him arrested and prosecuted for violating a city ordinance against swinging signs" The consul has appeal ed to his minister and secretary. Freling- huysen has been compelled to call the at tention of the governor of Pennsylvania to the statute authorizing foreign consuls to display the flags of their nations at their offices. The enterprising city of Pittsburg must feel humiliated at having such fool in position where he can bring discredit on the good name of the city.

VERMONT went republican oil Tuesday by about 22,5OO majority. The vote Is much lighter than ill 1880, when the re- publican majority was 25,O12. This ap- parent falling off ill the republican plural lty is accounted for by the disappearance of the greenback vote of 1880. In 1882 the republican majority was 19,8 $50.

Richard $. Storrs of fLongmeadow, Mass, committed suicide by shooting on Satur- day He aspartly insane from insomania brought on by overwork, though no such act on his part had been apprehended by his friends. The Hartford Courant says of MT. Storrs ''He was born at Amherst, Mass, and was 5 years old. He was a son of E. W. StOrrs, 8 descondent of the Rev. Richard Salter Storrs and of long line of Storrs living in Longmeadow and including several clergymen. He was graduated at Amherst college ill the class of 1853. Among his classmates were the Rev. George E. Sanborne. steward of the Retreat for the insane ln this city, the late
 Professor Penney of Vassar college, Judge R. M. Benjamin, professor of law ln the Illinois Wesleyan university. Soon after
 his graduation MT. Storrs became q teach CT in the American asylum where he re- mained with little interruption up to the he was professor of mental philosophy and English at the National Deaf Mute college at Washington, where he was call ed i'll the early days of that institution,
 which owed its existence to MT. Edward Gallaudet and much of its success to the three Hartford men who were first occu- pied in its work, Mr. Gallaudet himself,
 MT. Storrs and, MT. Samuel Porter. On
 his return to Hartford Mir. Storrs took up
 his work here and carried 1t on ill the same intelligent, carefully intelle ctual way l that had always been characteristic. His mind was singularly acute, and his profess sion acquired a new interest for him in
 view of the attempts that were then be- ginning to attract more attention and
 which aimed at radical change ill the whole theory of the instruction of deaf mutes by substituting instruction in vocal speech and hp-reading for the sign meth
 od on which this institution was founded.
 MT. Storrs gave a great deal of careful study to the subject and has written very we'll on it ill the Annals of the Deaf and Dumb, to which he was a frequent and always valued contributor. Within year he was one of the leading promoters of the Longmeadow centennial celebration, and his address, delivered at that time and printed ill The Courant, was an excellent specimen of careful statement and grace ful interpretation of the feeling of the eel ebration. The success of the whole ami versary depended more on him than on any other one man. He was active ill ar- ranging the details, seeing that they were carried out, giving the tone to the whole and securing a symmetrical and satisfacto- " celebration. His address at the time has been already mentioned. Then he had the laborinG oar ill the preparation of the very complete and excellent history of the day which has been recently issued
 Personally he was a man small of stature.

At the town elections in Csiober the constitutional amendment ring ses- sions of the legislature bienr: will be voted upon. The state rejected similar amendment few years ago, ard is not unlikely to do the same foolish thing this year, as the same elements and influences seem to be against it. Hartford, of course, is inx favor of frequent and long sessions, but{ Why the rest of the state wants or needs an annual session can be explained only on the assumption that many voters hate to have their prospects Of serving the state in the legislature reduced by one- half. Many larger states find biennial ses- sions to answer every purpose, and Con- necticut would like it better and better af- ter trial.

J. R. Osgood & Co.,, Boston, publish the address of Robert P. Porter to the Arkwright Club of New England, on Protection and Free Trade To-day" graphically presenting exactly what voters in both political parties want to know, the facts showing how free trade and protection works at home and abroad ill the field and workshop. He shows how agriculture, commerce and manufactur- ing in the United States, Great Britain, Ger many and Holland have been affected by these two economic policies. Mr. Porter's work will be appreciated by business men, farm CTS and artesians who have no time to read volume on the subject but who want clear exposition of the condition of labor here and in European countries He makes fair use of the official figures, which are at times, hand ed with dramatic effect. Mr. Porter was for several years student of the indus trial progress of the west, and author of ono of the most useful works on that section; for three years in charge of an important division of the census, next 8 member of the tariff commission; and then sent abroad for eighteen months, by the New York Tribune, to investi- gate 1.-the condition of labor in Great Britain and the continent Price 10 cents.

Gov. WALLER last week sent a note to Chairman Gallagher, declining to again be candidate for gogerilor. It has been all ''open secret that the genial executive has not found the executive chair to be cushioned with thornless roses. Yet it has been expected that he would take a renomiuation that came with sufficient unanimity and hcariiness to inspire hope of success. The governor enjoys the pleasures and hotoTs of the position, but so realizes the burdens it bears and the, sacrifices it brings to a lawyer in large practice like himself, that he was in that state of mind known to of1ica-hoiders, of wanting and yet not wanting it. And thus it was little surprise to the people of the state that the convention nominated him, regardless of his decinat; on, aud that he has accepted the nomination.

PUBLIC opinion is settling down to the nomination of John R. Buck for congress man, despite movements set on foot for two other Hartford county candidates. It is an instance of the office seeking the man, as so far all the active work has been in the interest of the other men suggested. MT. Buck is of type of men too scarce in our legislative hall linen who regard such places as the nations workshops, and its occupants as the custodians of the nation s interests, rather than as arenas for the dis play of oratorical pyrotechnics. An able debater, but looking for need rather than for opportunity to lift his voice in argu- ment. He is not of the class that waste time and make cost to the country by needlessly prolonging the sessions of con- gress. He is common sense and practi- cal man, and gives his whole attention to common sense and practical matters. He believes in fostering in every possible way our home industries, and his work in be- half of such has been judicious and effec-

SENATOR HENRY B. ANTHONY of Rhode Island, the oldest U $. senator ill consecu- tive service, died at Providence on Tues day. He has been in ill health for long time. He began service as a senator March 4, 1859. He was 8 leader ill the senate, and very popular with his col leagues. Only his physical condition pre- vented his accepting the honor proffered him of the vice presidency, upon the ex- piration of the term of Senator Davis.

We can appeal to every farmer who owns
CrplN and is familio 18th other Sulky
for the truth Of tbs following claims to
superiority:
l.. The pillow itselfis Of superior turning and
securing qualities, and the most durable Plow
made.
2. Its powerful enables youth and old age
and crippled persons to pillow as well as the
best.
saving much expense to dealer and annoy
ance to farmer.
A. The one lever varies the depth, levels the
pillow al all depths, and raises it out of the
ground, while others cannot be leveled by the
use Of two or more levers.
O.. The winging device is the simplest and
most effective, holding the pillow in any de-
sired position
6. The wheels are provided with remova-
BILE chilled boxes running on wrought spin
dies, insuring durability.
z. Our sulky rolling Gu tiers are unequaled
having chilled hubs and malleable bearings,
the most durable, strongest and steadest.
8. The experience of farmers and various
dynamometer tests have proved the Gilpin
Sulky to be the lightest draft of any.
8. While other sulkies having many spices,
loose joints, and a multiplicity of levers and
changes, soon become worn and rickety, the
Gilpin, compact and strong, will remain firm
for years, and time and use have little or no
effect upon it.
10. There is not another sulky in the market
that is SO highly priced BY manufacturers, deal
ers and farmers.
IL. II has the strongest testimonials from
$4,000 farmers having them in use from one
to six years, a sale more than twice that Of
any other, and proof that Il is held in far high
er esteem than any other sulky pillow.
IL. The GILPlN is the CHEAPEST Sulky
Plow made. 1t costs more to build it and
takes more money to buy il, but it will LAST
LONGER, do better work and more Of it than
any other Sulky Plow.
NONE are found as cheap as the GILPIN
when subjected to the true test Of satisfaction
in using, lighiness Of draft, entire freedom
from breakage, and lis great durability.
TIME.-By means Of the power-lifi on the
Gilpin Ia patented device) much more work
can be done in day than with any other
pillow, from the time economical in turning
around.
LIGHT DRAFTING fully warrant and
stand ready TO prove, with dynamome,er to
test same, that our Glpin Sulky Plow will
carry man and draw lighter than any riding
or walking pillow cutting and turning an equal
amount OF ground.
