Too Many Appropriations.

We possibly may be mistaken, but
we certainly think that ths present
Legislature has been too extravagant
in appropriations. At least 100000
surplus money was found in the State
Treasury. And to get it disbursed pro-
perly was a question and the easiest
way found, was to appropriate. Some
money given was well directed, but We
think under oil the circumstances. that
the whole people would have realized
a greater benefit from the surplus, if
the Legislature had relieved the vari-
ons counties of state tax for about one
year.

Thee Of the greatest actors of the
time-Booth, Barrett and Irving-will
deliver address at the unveiling of the
Poe Memorial in New York next
month. Poe did not write for the
stage, though the son of actors, and, as
the dramatic element is SO strong in
his works, it is curious he did not,
unless the reason is found in the coedi-
tion of the popular taste of his day,
which was content with old English.
Were Poe living new, when American
dramatists are SO loudly called for, it is
OF unlikely that he would have found
congenial employment in play writing

ROSEBURG REVIEW
The Best Way to Prohibit

Inasmuch as the law makers OF our
State are thinking out plans, for sue
cessfnl legislation on the traffic Of Ar
dent Spirits, the following from the
"Centrap would not be amiss to con-
slider. Temporizing is not the better
plan.
sThe Courier Journal, Of a recent
date, says: The Kentucky Prohibi-
tionists are arranging to call State
Convention to meet in Louisville on
March 18, to adopt plan for an act
i've State canvass in the Legislative
races next year, We may not be
thanked for the suggestion, bat as We
do not live upon thanks, make it any
way. The Prohibitionists Of Ken
tucky, who are in the lead of affairs,
need just little wise craftsmanship in
the management of so grave trust. If
we are not worse mistaken than We
usually are, this live and growing qucs-
ton needs to be saved, first of all, from
the unwisdom Of some Of It's friends.
There is too much effort at display;
too great desire, apparently, to carry
this question through, while its banner
is held aloft in gloyed hands; a striving
to do by wholesale that which can only
be accomplished in detail. Moreover,
somebody er SONG organization, must
be in the lead, and make capital, or not
be found in the harness. Let us sug-
gest: Do as we have done in Catletts-
burg, and IN nearly all the towns and
counties In this end of The State-vote
upon the question under strong local
option laws, and carry it. When THE
is done, to an extent to justify the un.
dertaking, ask the Legislature to sub
NIT the question of Prohibition to tbs
qualified voters of the State, and at 6
time when no other election is held
Or, what is better and surer, agitast
the question of new constitution fol
the State until the people will vote fo'
it. Then rise up as one man, elect del
egates to form the newconstitution, who
viii engraft this question upon oul
organic law, and thus settle it. What
We need is to begin at the bottom and
work up, and net at the top and work
down. We are the firm, unfinchine
friend of temperance and prohibition
and hence claim the right to sugges'
what we believe to be the conditions
necessary to success"

We are satisfied there is but little, if
any, difference between countries, and
that the various avocations of men give
greater or less contentment as they are
more or less energetically and judi
ciously followed. Success, wherever
found, is the creature of energy, and
whatever be the avocation Of man, if
he will put his whole soul into it, he
need not fear failure. The man makes
the country, andnot the country makes
the man. Many of our people have
sought the philosophers stone in Tex
as, and returned wiser, though poorer.
It is the man.

Hard Times.

What makes hard tincsl Some say
too much rain last harvest, Others say,
not enough IN other sections of our
country, aud still others say it is
want of confidence In the science
Of political economy as administered by
the American people, Now the fact is
the times are not so overwhelmingly hard
as we are won't sometimes to believe.
Necessity usually colnpels retrench-
ment and we see but little evidence of
retrenchment in governmental affairs,
or social requirements, or In pleasure
or dress Our luxuries are about as
they have been, and SO on all along
the list. We possess a good deal of
pert up energy, both in muscle and
brain, but unless we can get a very big
price for it, we do not care to expend
it. Our opinion is a just and living
compensation should be given for all
kinds ef labor, and more, we should
seek for employment, and not wait for
something to sturn up Luck is an
ignus fatuus, misnomer, and as our
much lamented Garfield once said in
his speech to a graduating Gloss, at q
certain college: young men, luck is
deceitful. I would rather have one
pound Of pluck than ton Of luck. :
And that is the principle, and the only
one, that will give prosperity to our
great and peaceful country.

BOARD OF sELECTmEN

Changes and Improvements in the
 Annex - other Matters Considered
 and Acted Upon.
 The Board of Selectmen held meeting last evening. Town Engineer Butler and property owners in the neighborhood of Fer ry and Baldwin streets, in the Annex, brought before the Board the layout of 8 road leading from Meadow street, around Farren avenue, over what is called Ferry street. Frank Hugo is building a 23x40 building which will face on Far reu avenue The old layout cuts of eighteen feet of the cellar which is dug and partly finished. The line was staked out by the East Haven selectmen in 1877 and the road has never been worked. No meeting was held and no agreement made The layout is not road yet for the legal steps have not been taken to ex- tinguish the titles of land owners. The property owners ave never been called to consider the matter. East Haven never worked the road. It would probably be more trouble to lay out the road again than to have new cellar dug for Mr. Hugo The Board decided to take g trip to the place this afternoon and consider the position of the layout and cellar. Town Engineer Butler will accompany the Select men.
 The Board concluded to look at the condi- tion of affairs on the corner of Center and Hill streets in the Annex on their journey this afternoon. The sewer there is small and cannot carry away the water. It was proposed to build & new sewer across the road under the railroad track to meet the main sewer. The Board will decide the matter with view to future improvements.
 Mr Beecher was elected to fill the vacancy in the committee on the strengthening of West river.
 Petitions from Mrs. Parker and David AL len, of Farren avenue, in regard to drains were read.
 Mrs. Elizabeth J. Cooper had an applica- ton for the improvement of the road and sidewalk on Hughes avenue. The communi- cations were referred to the entire Board to be considered to-day.
 Mir. Beecher, who had attended the hear ing yesterday, said that he thought the pres ent system of county homes would be kept up.
 The Board next considered and approved the increase of salary of the tender of the Quinnipiac. bridge.
 Bills were approved as follows: Board of Relief, S1, ,126.25; outside poor, $1,062.5 general account, S210.55; salaries, S191. .66; roads and bridges, $565.50; new farm, $24 construction, S135.20; Connecticut Hospital for the Insane, S3,171.O9; almshouse, $2, ,350.6O.
 An application for pay for the expenses of the burial of Edward Curtis was approved and the report of Henry A. Mix, the trustee of the estate of Daniel Brown, accepted. Af- ter some debate on the salaries of assessors the Board adjourned.

THE NEW CHARACTERIZATION.

Civil Service Dismissed by she Cabinet
 The First Removals Made at the
 White House.
 WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The first Cabinet meeting of the administration was held to-day. All the members were promptly on hand by noon. The meeting lasted about two hours. The application of civil service principles in connection with filling the various offices of the government was dis cussed. It is understood that each Cabinet officer presented the names of persons who would make good appointees to subordinate positions in his department, but that few in dividual appointments were agreed upon.
 A week has elapsed since the new admin istration assumed the reins of government and with few exceptions that could be counted on the fingers of one hand no changes in the personnel of government officials have been made. This has had the effect of en- couraging those who a1e in the belief that President Cleveland intends despite pressure to live up to the letter of his official utter ances. This slowness in making changes has not, however, deferred 8 large number of persons in various parts of the country from either personally or by letter applying for places. The mail received at the several departments is enormous and appli- cations for office foot up several thousand. The departments most crowded by petitions and in person are the Postofice, Interior and Treasury. The others are comparatively free from the rush incident to change of parties or administrations. All applications are care fully indexed and filed away. To do the work the clerks in the Postofice de- partment have for the past few days been working late into the night. It is thought Mir. Bell, of Missouri, now st ands the best chance for appointment as first assistant postmaster general Dr. Miller, of Omaha, refused the place, which was rendered him several days ago. While all the Cabinet officers are proceeding very slowly, it is thought that most of the resigna- tions of bureau officers which have been rendered will be accepted by the first of next week and the successors appointed. Then the work of the new administration will be- gin in earnest.
 The first removals since President Cleve- land assumed office were made late this after noon in the White House. Just before 4 o'clock Private Secretary Lamont notified Messrs. Morton, Bolway and Duke, clerks in the White House, and MT. Judd, telegraph operator, that their services were no longer needed. No appointments will be made to the vacancies thus created, as Mr. Lamont considers the places entirely unnecessary.

A Terrific Explosion of N1tro-GIycer.
 BRADFORD, Pa., March 10.-The explosion of the nitro o-glycerine magazine which occur red this morning at Howard Junction, 8 small station on the Rochester and Pittsburg railroad three miles north of here, destroyed the largest amount of the dangerous com pound ever known to have exploded at one time in the oil country. Six thousand pounds were stored in the magazine, which was d short distance from the workshop. In some manner this was caused to explode and the building, which was a large one, story and g half high, was entirely demolished, the whole building being converted into tooth picks. A three thousand barrel oil tank three hundred feet away was shattered, large pieces of rock were hurled great distances and trees were uprooted and scattered about as by hurricane. A hole twenty five feet deep may now be seen where the building formerly stood. W. H. liar rington, aged twenty-five, was killed. He weighed one hundred and eighty pounds and but few pounds of his remains have been found. H. V. Platt's remains were found two hundred feet from the scene of the dis aster with every bone in the body broken, but the skin strangely was entirely whole. The shock caused by the explosion was felt at every part of the county. The loss is about SS, GOO
