ReaetiOnary Precedents.
~hiladelphiO Record.

'hiladeiphiN Record.
To those who have studied the
election returns of forty or fifty
years the only surprise over the
result for Congress last Tuesday is
that the reaction has not been much
greater. La 1910 the Wings carried
the elections coy IN overwhelming
majority ; aud two years aftewaId
the Democrats recovered control OF
the House. In 1874 the Democrats
elected President Polk aud u ma.
jority ID Congress; and in 1916 the
Wings carried the House aud elect.
ed John q. Winthrop its Speaker.
Again, IN 1848 the Wings elected
President Taylor and a majority in
the House ; and this majority was
reversed in 1850. In 1872 Grants
overwhelming majority for Presi.
dent was attended by IA tTO.thirds
Republican majority in the House;
aud in 1874 this majority was owe
turned by q popular revolution as
great as was unexpected. The
Democrats in 1876 elected their
President and a large majority in
the House. but to the COMPRESSION
al election of 1873 the rule does not
apply. In 1880, however, Garfield
carried with him u majority in the
House, which was reversed IN 1882.
Following this lOng limo of pre-.
cedents the Republicans ought TO
have secured a majority of the next
House of Representatives, aud they
confidently looked for such % result.
How hard they labored tO attain
their aim is witnessed in the dis.
trict of Speaker Carlisle, Colonel
Morrison and Frank Hurd, who
were the special objects of prOtes
zionist animOsity. A change OF 1d-
m~inistratiOn ID always attended by
great hopes on the part Of many
who have an "unreASOning faith in
the power of government to better
their condition, and when their
cannot be realized the disap.
revenge themselves on
their Representatives in Congress.
1t is surprising, in all the circum.
stances, that last Tuesday did not
witness a greater change. Tue ~.
shows that while the country
is not wholly satisfied with Demo
cratic ascendancy it is not yet will
ing to restore Republican rule.

deluged with a lot of professional
tramps. They are already putting

they are not worthy, they are a set

A WILD PIGEON RoosT.-The
greatest wild pigeon roost in the
United States is just now located
abOU twenty miles north of Table
quah, l. T., in Going Snake district.
A nal just from there says the
trees covering u mile square OF tim
bered land are literally as full as
the limbs will bear at night with
these birds Millions of pigeons
are there, he says, aud at night
when they como in to roOst they
make noise like mighty thunder.
Birdmen say there r only two
droves of Wild pigeons now in
North America. This is the larger
one. A great many people r en-
canned 9rnun1 49, ISL anpaopd
IN trapping, netting and kmfi1s
them for Shipment, which they are
doing by the thousands. New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago, st. Louis
and other places in the States of
less note are represented at this
rOost. For dead ones the slayers
get an average of 81 per 100 for
live ones tue METERS get 81 to S6
per 100, as a great many Of these
are used in the East and ordered
for shooting matches by sporting
clubs. The nets are placed at some
point where a bunch water, and
sometimes as many as forty dozen
are caught in one fly of the net.
This makes several years in success
sion these birds have come to this
place to roost, after nesting aud
summering away up among the
lakes of Minnesota and adjoining
country. A great many Indians

He has started a little paper, not
big enough to cuss a cat with right

self, and the Tribune wishes him all
the success that is due q man who

built there. If not 1t should be built elsewhere. No mere sentiment or money should influence the de- of this question. It is not for Litchfield alone, but for the county and the public. It is not for the pres ent only, but for the future, perhaps for generations to come. Those who are entrusted with the determination of this question should not be influenced by a mere money consideration-whether in the nature of bribe or not.
 If Litchfield is the best place for the court house put it there, but if there are other places or another place which would better answer the demands of public convenience and necessity it should go there.
 This question of location of the court house is not a new one. It has long been source of dissatisfaction to very many-I think I may say q majority of the citizens of the county. They have been unable to see why in this day and generation they should be subjected to the annoyances and inconveniences of a century ago. This feeling found ex- | pression few years ago in the establish ment of the district court. In this mat, | ter as in every other we should try and keep abreast with the progress of the times. In the days of the old stage coach Litchfield was, perhaps, the most convenient place for the court house. She still clings to the old, stage coach times, but the outside world does not. They do not want to spend half their lifetime in getting from Litchfeld sta tion to Litchfield and back. Things have changed considerably in the last 100 years, even in Litchfeld county. Business centres have changed. Modes of travel have changed. People now generally travel by rail or wish to do so. There is no reason why they should not be accommodated in this respect, even when they are compelled to go to c)uEl. II we cafluot oo any Del1ei, let us go to Hartford or Bridgeport, as we now have to go to Hartford to attend the supreme court. It would be easier and cheaper. But there is no necessity for that. There arc points on the rail roads in the county that would reason ably accommodate the public, and every consideration of convenience and neces- sity require that the courts should be | held there

I RElLARKABLE FAMILY REUNION,
a Camp Meeting; ssOn ti1e old Camp
 GrOUnI.'


 Ground"
 Mir Miles Camp of New Preston is 96 years old and his wife, Cyrene Beeman, 95. They were married November 29, 1915, and have lived on the same farm over 70 years. They had eight children, the eldest of whom died when he was eight years of age; with that exception the family circle has remained unbroken until the death of Daniel B. Camp, last year, at the old homestead
 At reunion which took place on the 11th inst, at the old farm, there were present: Henry P. and Charles Camp, and Mrs Harriet Camp Newton, with her husband, all of Homer, Medina Co.,, O.; George Camp, of Morris, Conn.,, his daughters, Mrs Joel Skllton and Mrs Arthur Rabbit, with their husbands; Augustus B. Camp, of Warren, Conn.,, with his wife, their daughter, Mrs F. s. Gibson, of Washington, Conn, her hus- band and little daughter Julia; and Mrs Augusta Keeney, of Skinner's Eddy, | Wyoming Co.,, Pa, twin sister of Angus tus, born on the 11th day of November, 1882. The last 'Camp Meeting" held was 12 years ago.
 The wonderful longevity of NIT and Mrs Camp, the extraordinary term ot their married life, and the remarkable transmitted vitality of their children, | all combine to make family record hardly equalled short of the antedilu vian genealogies found in the early chap ters of Genesis. s.-LitchtieLd Enquirer.
