THE writs for new election in England will be out by June 24th and new parlia- ment will be chosen by the middle of July. The present generation has never seen an election in England of like interest to the world. Mr. Gladstone stands pledged to con- yoke the new parliament in August if the ma jority be against him or doubtful, This..pledge induced the tories to grant the government sup ply sufficient till October. The Parnellites, who had resolved to allow no money to be voted beyond August, have been somehow induced to give way. Parliament drags on with routine business another fortnight, but all over the country the tumult of contested election has begun. The confusion is too great to allow clear view of the field.

DEPUTY LEVALLEY of Mansfield has had his commission revoked by Sheriff West. Le- Valley made successful search at Westcott's rum saloon on East Main-st., Stafford Springs, and it has been understood that his conduct very much displeased his chief. No specified charges are reported, and the act has pro voked much. criticism, and will provoke more. Somebody's sense of honor was offended by Sheriff LeValley's mode of procedure. Those connected with high-to profes- sions, like that of liquor selling in no-icense towns, most heartily despise anything incon- sistent with the strictest sense of honor. An officer approaching such place must be pre- ceded by brass band, bedecked with badges, and be very careful not to stumble over the bottles and casks that he does not see.

THERE is no doubt that fanatics are tlyiug to stir up religious prejudlces, savoring of bigotry to affect the Irish question in the United Kingdom. This is small business. Justice first, and other details later. It is a poor religion that needs safeguards of gov ernment. to protect it in an enlightened coun- try. No religion that is worth anything is dependant upon bayouets or any form of hot house forcing, or sec'usion. Considera- tions of policy, alone, might be relied on to keep the Romanists of Ireland from abusing their opportunities, if no higher motive may be trusted in

PEOPLE who have frowned upon home rule because of sympathy with the protestants in Ireland, who will under home rule be in a minority, will have their sympathies dulled by the disgraceful riotings of these protestant people in the sections where they are in the majority, upon hearing of the defeat of Glad stone's bill. They have destroyed property, opposed the authorities, and several people have been killed in the outbreaks. Protestant clergymen who have tried to control these frenzied gangs have been violently assaulted. Such conduct will not strengthen opposition to home rule.

THE June meeting of the Eastern Connect icut ministerial association was held in the Stafford Springs) M. E church June 14-16.
 by Rev. E. Tirrell of Willimantic, from Jude 3d, subject Contending for the Faith. The sermon eicited praise from critical audi ence. The morning session, Tuesday, after devotional exercises and some business, was devoted to the consideration of the topics as- signed. The kev.eJ J. c. Gowan presented an excellent paper on : How do the Miracles of Christ strengthen the claims of Christianity ? A lively discussion followed, the members protesting against any fanaticism in this mat ter of miracles, while declaring unshaken faith in the miracles of Christ. Rev. Thos.
 Simms of Norwich delivered an able review of Dr. H Clay Trumbulps work The Blood Covenant. This closed the morning session.
 In the afternoon Rev. c. W. Gallagher of Hazardville presented an essay on geology and sac1ed chronology, which, while evinclng erudition and accurate scholarship, held in terested attention to its close. Rev. G. w.
 Wright of Moodus read an exhaustive essay on: Has the Chautauqua movement the prov -ince of permanent advantage to the church ]? The conclusion was an emphatic affirmation.
 The most attractive essay to all the ministers was that of Rev. E. M. Taylor of Stafford Springs. His theme was: The Elements of Pulpit Oratory. The treatment was clear, consistent and original but more than that, the subtle thing which he attempted to de- scribe by the term magnetism was both in the essay and speaker, enabling the essayist to impress his thought into every mind. It was a fine effort, not to be forgotten. The even- ing sermon Tuesday closed this meating of the association. The presiding elder of Nor wich district, which includes all Eastern Con- necticut, preached thoughtful gospel ser mon from Jeremiah 23 28, 29. The next meeting will be held in October with the Hazardyille M. E. church.

LAST HOPE OF THE ANARCHIsTs.

The sUpeTsedeBs granted In the case
Of the Chicago Anarchists is by no
means TO bs taken az affecting the final
result or in an any manner changing
the extreme penalty OF the sentence
passed upon the prisoners, except to
temporarily stay It's execution. Its
Effect Is simply 10 carry the entire case
aud the sentence into the Supreme
Court OF the State for review. The con-
VicteG men, however, as matter Of
course, have the chance of decision by
the higher court in favor Of a new trial,
and this Is regarded by them Snd by
their friends as affOIding a fair prospect
of escape.
NrbOty will deny the entire propriety
and justice of the Judges decision. The
case IL one of vast importance, involving
features of law which have never before
bpen given practical application In this
country. 1t Is not only fair to the con-
victed men Dut desirable for the public
interests that 1t should be fully cOnsId-
cred In all Its bearings by the highest
appellate court in the State. II the
Judgment of the trial court should be
affirmed and the Supreme Court sh0uld
declare that there is no ground for
gra ing new trial, the case will have
much more impressive effect on the
whole country and Its value as an ex-
ample and warning will be greatly
enhanced. II, on the other hand, there
have been any errOrs In the trial or any
miscODstruction of the law, 1t is both
law and justice that the benefit should
DO conceded to the prisoners.

1T is always Republican wall In

There has been large transfer Of

America for manufacturing purposes
Many free trade men In Great Britain
say that while the policy Of protection
is bad policy In the long run, yet as
long as 1t exists they may as we'll reap
the advantages Of 1t; and the capital Of
many and many a manufacturing enter
prise here is owned In Great Britain.

Great Britain that protection to Ameri-
can industry-s high protective tariff
was policy which England ought to
rejoice in; that 1t largely excluded
American products from the markets Of
